sticking to One Thing Pays

Farmers who stick to the crops ano
system of farming they have found
most profitable in the long run are
wisest. The low price of hops last
year induced many New York farm
ers to change t. other crops and now
they are ~regretting it. The New York
Farmer says: Hops have doubled in
price since the close of the season of
1899. Last year at this time they sold
at seven to ten cents in Otsego and
other counties have received from II
to 90 cents a pound for all the good
hops they have on hand. Some hop
turned to potatoes, and lost
their seasons work by drought. 9th
ers tried beans. cabbage and other
truck. and probably not one of them
all has bettered his condition by turn
ing to other crops Some OF them are
decidedly worse of as a consequence

should buy the entire network OF roads.
The people wanted to buy them, but the
prices demanded by the various corpor-
atoms were SO large that they were
obliged to vote the measure down. The
vote was repeated several times in the
course of few years, and with the same
result. The council saw that there was
no use of persevering in this course.
They therefore submitted to the vote of
the people measure declaring all rail-
roads purchasable by the federation after
seven years, the purchase price in each
case to be the amount of real capital in
vested, or twenty-five times the clear
gains for the ten years proceeding pur-
chase. The law was carried at the first
vote by direct vote of a majority of the
people.
One clause of the law reads as follows:
"Where the interests OF the Federation
AM of corporation or individual are
opposed, we recognize the right OF the
Federation as higher than that of the
corporation or individual"
The calmness with which this little
republic does what our people are SO
slow to do, i. e., sets aside the assumed
rights of corporation or individual in
the interest of the general good, shows
how thoroughly she is impregnated with
the true republican spirit which Amer

Held Up at Kent.

The first hold-up to take place in Kent
for several years occurred last Thursday
morning at about o'clock. Two cattle
men from the Yakima country, r. NJ.
and B. M. Graham, father and son re-
spectively, shipped car load OF horses
into town and shortly after unloading
the stock they were accosted by two
highwaymen who demanded their
money. They resisted and in the
struggle that followed both were beaten
over the head with revolvers and quite
seriously injured. During the struggle
the father lost his purse from his pocket
which was found the next morning by
him. The highwaymen went through
their pockets but found nothing. The
older man first freed himself from his
antagonist and called Justify for help,
whereupon the highwaymen took to
their heels. Constable Tucker was
notified and went in pursuit, but the
fellows made good their escape.-White
