Stock Poisoning Plants

ONOCh O1SO11l11S ld1llS
OF the Range Regions" is the title
OF a bulletin recently published by
the department Of agriculture
and of which the department has
distributed over 5000 copies, be-
sides the 5000 which have been fur
nisned to congressman. F. V. Co.
vile, the botanist, says in n of our
exchanges:
Each year the losses from stock
poisoning r something tremen-
dous and while the department can
not prevent this entirely, still we
can reduce them by giving stock
raisers methods of eradication, pre-
vention of poisoning, and treat
ments for poisoned stock.
"We have found that a solution of
permanganate of potash was an
excellent remedy, in at least three
cases where the animals otherwise
would have died in but a few hours.
AS soon as the stock are noticed to
have symptoms Of poisoning, this
remedy should be given as a drench
and our records have shown that it
is remarkably effective.
SNOW in the question Of eradica-
ton; water-hemlock, which is diff
cult to subdue, is enc of the most
deadly of plants, which will kill
stock in about two hours after it has
been eaten. Nor has any cure for
it been discovered; nevertheless
there is usually some way of getting
around a bad proposition, and this
plant has been found to be danger
Gus only in the early spring, just
after it has come up from the ground.
After it has matured we'll, stock may
be allowed TO Craze it with impu-
nifty.
"Lupine, on the contrary plant
used in Europe to a great extent for
stock-feeding has been found by our
agents to be poisonous after it is in
flower and while the seeds are being
formed. The grazers should be
cautious that their charges do not
Craze in pastures where lupine is in
this condition and in no2way should
lupine be cut for hay after.fowers or
buds are seen.
/" A most pitiful sight can be wit
messed on the ranges, where cattle
and sheep go crazy. By crazy ]
mean that they become entirely ire,
sponsible and wandering with that
state of mind which show them to
know nothing of what they are
doing. The Loco weed is the cause
of this. Locoed, in the western
~parlance, means, gone crazy. This
poison does not become effective i'm
mediately after the weed is eaten:
as in the case with other dangerous
weeds; it is rather a sort Of cumula
tive poison. The best remedy
should advise is to simply take the
cattle off the range and place then
upon a non-poisonous diet, say al
falfa. They will become fat, health!
and we'll. Then they should be sold
TN all our experiments we hav'
not found any Of these western
poisons 10 effect the flesh Of eithe
cattle or sheep as has been found t
be the case with some of the plant
having their homes in the east
There is, therefore, nothing to fea
in the use of these cattle as beef"

Must Support First Wife.

Toronto, Ontario, June 2O.-
An important decision was given
here today by Judge MacDoug-
all on the validity of United
States divorces in Canada. In the
ease of John L. Sheppard an ar.
rest was made for non.support
by his first wife.
Sheppard showed that he had
secured a divorce in the United
States and held he was under no
obligation TO support her. The
Judge held otherwise, giving
judgment to the effect that Am
erican divorces shall not be valid
in Canada.

NEW ERA IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

The Philippine Islands will en-
tar upon q new era on the Fourth
Ut July. On that date civil gov
ernment will be formally estab-
lished by the United States in all
districts except those in which
the insurrection against our au-
thority continues.
Judge William II. Taft, Presi.
dent of the Philippine Commits
sion, is made the first Civil Govs
ernor. A better selection could
not have been made. Judge Taft
hes been in the Philippines about
a year, engaged with his asso-
ciates on the Commission in
blocking out a system of civil
government and teaching the ma
tives the art Of governing them-
selves. This work was begun by
establishing civil rule first in the
municipalities, and it has been
gradually extended until now
practically the entire archipelago
is ready for it.
The approaching anniversary of
the birth of ths American Repub-
lie will be a happy day for the
Filipinos, for it will mark the be-
ginning of new chapter in their
h'story-cne which, is sure to be
replete with progress and enlight-
enment if they will only do their
part under the guiding hand of
wise Americans like Judge Taft
and his associates.
or course it is not to be ex>
pected that the form of govern
ment which we are to give the Fill
ipinos at the outset will be
as broad and representative as
our own, but it will be the fullest
measure of popular rule that the
islanders are enabled to compre-
hend and live under, and the lines
will be extended as rapidly as they
progress. Naturally it will be nec-
essary to maintain a strong mill
tary force in the islands to deal
with the few recalcitrants and to
run down bandits,as well as to be
prepared for any emergency, but
there will be no military rule ex-
cept, as stated above, in districts
where conditions will not perm t
the establishment of civil govern
ment.

BOOM AT BEAUMONT.

The situation in the Beaumont
district is imperfectIy understood,
and is often greatly exaggerated.
In the first place only sixty acres
in all, on Spindle Top, a height
about as tall as pony, is proven
oil territory. Not another acre in
the Beaumont district is known to
be oil-producing territory. These
sixty acres have been cut up into
quarterracre lots, and the COM
panies that have found ssdusters''
or oilless wells outside of Spindle
Top, are buying these small tracts
because gusher goes presumably
with each one. The narrow boun-
daries of the proven territory have
frozen out many spectators, and
they are returning home money
less as a rule.
Whether Spindle Top oil will
prove remunerative is still proble-
matical. The oil is of inferior
quality, and it will have to be re-
fined in order to take some of the
lnf1ammability cut of it before
shipments as fuel oil. How much
can be saved from it for lllumi-
nation purposes remains to be
seen. AS fuel oil it will not stand
high rates of transportation, and
it must therefore be piped to tank
steamers, eighteen miles away, at
Port Arthur.
All In all the oil situation in
the Beaumont district is good
deal of problem. Spindle Top, or
about sixty acres, is the known
field, but even this limited field
will supply all the fuel oil that
can be marketed. Wells that spout
$4,000 barrels day go long
ways towards meeting the fuel
wants of mankind. Thus far
Spindle Top has been free from
dry holes, and the presumption is
that an unaccountable pocket of
oil lies under it, but is is not
reasonable to think that this pocket
can long stand the strain of $50
gushers.

A HALFWAY MEASURE.

Senator Burrows, of Michigan,
will propose an amendment to
the Constitution, at the next ses.
sion Of Congress, for the solu-
tion Of senatorial vacancies. The
measure will propose that if a
legislature shall fail to elect a
senator, the Governor of the
State shall issue 3 writ of elec~
tion to fill the vacancy, thus CIV
ing the people the opportunity
to overcome the dereliction of
the legislature and insure the
State a representative in that
branch of Congress.
Senator Burrows says that in

fathers arranged that if there
should be vacancy in the House

The TRAFFIC PROBLEM.
James J. Hills View of the Stu
alton and Its Future.
BIG INTERNATIONAL CONTEST ON.

1t Ii q Fight an the High Seas, Says
the Great Northern Railways Pves-
ident, and In Not Local-Great strug-
gle Coming For Trade With the
Far East.
James ]. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad. talked to- q New
York World correspondent at Minneap-
oils the other day about the transporta-
ton problem of the world apd of. the
activity among the railroads for traffic.
President Hill stated positively that
the purchase Of the Burlington had
been accomplished by the Northern
roads. He said:
1.-THE condition that twothirds of the
Burlington shares be deposited for ex-
change for Great Northern Northern
Pacific bonds on or before May 20 has
been more than met. In fact, 90 per
cent of the shares had been deposited
with the directors on May 18, when
left New York.
1.-The fight Is on the high SEAS" said
President Hill. 1.-THE great traffic con-
test is between the Pacific on the one
hand and the Suez canal and Cape
Horn on the other.
''It is not fight between this section
or city or road or the other-at least 50
far as I am concerned. 1t is a big
question Of traffic development. 1t is 9
question of commercial development
and industrial development for the
country at large. Our competitor Is
not here, not in New York, not In San
Francisco. He is on the high seas.
Our fight is national, or, rather. 1t Is in
ternational. Our problem Is to get hold
of the commerce Of the Pacific ocean
and bring it across the Pacific and
across the United States instead of al
lowing tt to be diverted around the
globe via the Suez canal and Cape
Horn.
During the next 80 years we may
grow to 15O,OOO,OOO. What shall we
do with this population Not over
third, or $4,000, 900, can be employ
ed in manufactures, railroading. trades
and the professions. The bulk of the
remaining 1OOOO0,OOO must go to the
land.
"The great increase will be In the val
leys of the Ohio. Mississippi. Missouri
and westward. the fertile prairies of
the great central west and beyond.
wherever irrigatiop Is possible. Now,
then, what will these 10O,OOO,OOO on
the land Of the west produce? Food
will they not?
1.-THE millions of people across the
Pacific are able to buy principally only
what they are compelled to buy to sus-
tain life-food, just the product which
the present coming population OF Amer
teas great central and western zone IL
prepared to furnish.
'"The next questions are: How shall !,
be handled? BY what route shall Il
go? Shall America handle It or Eu
rope? Will it go by the Pacific Or by
the Suez and the Horn2 hope tha'
America will handle it and by the Pa
cific. Geography and nature declare it
and trade cannot resist them."

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Possibility of the Boston Electric Company
Building Ii.


The possible building OF the electric
railway from this city down the valley
to Sunnyside and Prosser is subject
that is Just now receiving great deal OF
attention from the people of North Yak
ina and the valley and also from those
who have the matter under considera-
ton. Ii the road is built it will mean a
great deal to this city and the promoters
of the scheme are aware of this fact.
When it is to be built is anxiously asked
by everybody and whether there is any
foundation to the movement is ques-
toned with due credibility. The build
ing of this road is purely business mat
and all the information that has so far
been given to the public by those on the
inside is meager in the extreme The
North Yakima parties who have been
working in behalf of the road say that
they have no positive assurance as to
what the company will do.
The representative who was here two
weeks ago made thorough investiga-
ton OF the field He expressed views
that would lead one to believe that there
is a chance for the road to be built at an
early date This representative not
only went over the proposed route and
estimated the cost OF construction and
the resources of the valley but he fully
considered the future developments.
After taking all these things into con-
sideraton he went away, SO the promot-
ers say. without giving any idea as to
But it has been learned from those ia
miliar with the parties interested that
he gave assurance before leaving that
his company would act favorably on his
report, which would be in favor OF build
ing the road.
1t is the purpose OF the company
should it enter the field, to build the line
from this city out by the fair grounds +;
cross the river at the county bridge to
Mckee, then follow down the east bank
OF the Yakima to Parker Bottom. From
that point it would take a more inland
course, passing Zillah to the east and go
on to Sunnyside to the north OF Snipes
mountain. From Sunnyside the road
would run direct to Prosser on the west
side OF the Yakima. This route would
take the road through the most thickly
populated rural districts Of the valley
and would tap field that is immensely
rich in agricultural products. The aim
is to tie all these points together with
an easy means of transportation. Pas
sengers will be carried at rate that
will be far below the railway tare. A
freight carrying system will be inaugu-
rated whereby it will be no difficu 1t
