Things That Have Transpired
During the Seven Days Past.


It seems that Seattle is not to have
a second telephone system after all
A few days ago the city council pass
ed a franchise ordinance for a sec
ond telephone system to be placed in
Seattle, but this did not meet the
approval of the mayor and few of
his close partisan friends, and so his
honor vetoed it. As an excuse for
this, he pointed out few defects in
the franchise that were not worthy
of consideration, and if worthy Of
consideration, the defects could
have been readily patched up The
fact Of the whole matter is, Mayor
Humes and Councilman James seem
to have had another company in
their minds, which company they
favored over and above the company
favored by the council. Madame Ru-
NOR has it that if the mayor and Mr..
James can have the company they
favor granted a franchise, that those
two gentlemen will not need to have
to work very much more in the fu-
ture. As to this The Republican
has no knowledge nor care, it does,
however, believe that it is the duty
of the city council and the mayor
regardless of personal interests, to
grant either one company or two
companies a franchise the right to
inaugurate new telephone systems in
this city. This should be done as
a protection to the citizens and the
tax payers in Seattle who have been
imposed upon by the present tele-
phone company in a most shameful,
manner.

Manurlng wheat.

In a recent bulletin On the manur1ng
of soil. Prof. John Fields of the Okla
homa Experiment Station says:
In seasons when there is an abund-
ant summer rainfall, plowed
under will decay and settle down On
the other hand, in dry seasons, and
especially if the soil is not well culti-
waited soon after blowing, manure
which is plowed under will keep the
soil open and make it dry out easily.
The seed then goes into a dry soil,
terminates poorly giving a thin stand,
and starts off the wheat in a weakened
condition.
This makes the manuring of land
sown continuously to wheat difficult,
and in such cases, it would appear that
a top-dressing, well worked into he
surface of the soil, would be the best
and safest practice.
Attempts ITO follow Kafir cor or
sorghum with wheat have very often
resulted in failure. "Kair corn ruins
the land is an expression frequently
heard in conversation with farmers.
When the matter is studied, it is found
that, after all, it is largely a question
rof the supply of moisture in the soil.
Kafr corn grows a large mass of for
age and uses the soil moisture up until
the time of wheat seeding, and the
wheat goes into a soil without suf1-
Gent moisture for the termination OF
the seeds and the growth of the plants.
Early blowing Of land for wheat
does little but prepare the soil so that
1t will take in water and keep it.
Working the soil, keeping the surface
loose, helps out a dry season by hold
ing the water in the soil. Cultivation
at the proper times as much to be pre-
ferred to manuring when there is no
opportunity for the soil to fill with
moisture before a crop is to be planted.
The effect of a given crop on the
moisture content Of the soil has more
to do with the yield of the next crop
than does the amount of plant-food
removed from the soil.
Cultivation and manuring-as much
as possible of each-and study and
knowledge of the true effect of differ
ent crops on available soil moisture
are essential to a profitable and i'm
proving system of farming. The day OF
crop failures, worn out farms, and
purchase Of fertilizers should be put
off by the use of things at hand that
cost only energy, time, and labor to
utilize and possess.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-09-05
Marketing Small Fruits.

Berry growers should soon purchase
their supply of berry boxes and bask-
cts in which they expect to market
their fruit the coming season, says a
communication from the Oklahoma
Experiment Station. The tub or large
bucket and quart cup are the packages
that have been in most common use
in the berry market in Oklahoma, but
are giving away to neat WOODEN quart
boxes and crates. The cost of the
boxes and crates is very small and it
greatly improves the appearance of the
fruit. The berries should be put in
the baskets just as they are gathered.
This prevents the necessity of further
handling, crushing and soiling the
fruit. 1t can then be delivered in bet
ter condition and is worth more in
dollars and cents to the consumer.
Berries that are placed in small bask-
cts as fast as they are gathered will
keep fresh much longer and will sell
for a higher price than the berries that
were of the same quality when gath
cred but have been handled in bulk.
Inc IHCTGdS0 Ill price OIL the USrTIGS
will much more than pay for the boxes
and crates. The ease with which Grated
berries can be sold is often of great
importance especially in a full market.
The claim is often made that fruit is
SO cheap that it will not pay for the
boxes. This is sometimes true but the
difference in price of the Grated and
uncrated berries is often the difference
between a profit and a loss in favor
of the Grated fruit. There are several
kinds of boxes and crates used for
small fruits any of which answers the
purpose very well. A quart package is
the most common size used for berries.
These boxes are made Of wood or
paste-board and are always given with
the fruit. The crates are made of
wooden Stats and usually hold IS quart
boxes. These can be used during the
entire season when the berries are sold
in the home market, but If shipped new
boxes a be bought cheaper than the
old ones can be returned. The pack
ages should be clean and bright and
the packing done in good form. 1t is
often the package and packing that
sell the fruit as much as the merits of
the fruit itself.

E is SALT LAKE.
One of the Most Wonderful Bodies OF
water In the World.

One of the Most Wonderful Bodies OF
water In the World.
Great Salt Lake, Utah, is in many
respects one of the most wonderful
bodies of water in the world. 1t is
six times as salty as the ocean, and
though four good-sized rivers are con-
stantly pouring their waters into 1t,
it never loses any proportion of it's
saltiness, an it's level is never raised
an inch. No one has yet discovered
why all this fresh water does not re-
duce the salt, or what becomes of the
fresh water, since it does not raise the
lake level. 1t was at n time about
as large as Lake Huron and perhaps
a thousand feet in depth; now 1t is
about one hundred miles in length,
with an average width Of about 81
miles and it greatest depth is go feet.
But what a ~storehouse of wealth it is!
It's area is $4,000 square miles or 75,-
271, $50, 900 square feet. Allowing it an
average depth of 20 feet, its contents
are / ,505, 433, 600 900 cubic feet. Chemi-
cal analysis has shown that one-sixth
of this is common salt and sulphate Of
soda, say ESQ, 905, 100000 cubic feet. or
this combined product, o%ne-eighth is.
sulphate of soda and seven-eighths.
common salt. A cubic foot of sulphate
of soda weighs so pounds, and a cubic
foot of common salt weighs 80 pounds;
a simple calculation shows, therefore,
that the lake contains 784, $50 900 tons
OF sulphate of soda and 1888, 169, 900
tons of salt. Allowing ten IONS to a
carload, that makes rs, 408 900 car
loads of the soda and 1913, 016, $50 car
loads of salt. These figures are aston
fishing, to say the least, but the lake
has other features that challenge at
tention. For example, there are noun
famous islands all over it, varying
in height from 5000 to 5000 feet. An
telope Island, the largest is about six
teen miles in length and five miles in
width, with a height of 1000 feet. The
scenery on the island is exquisitely
beautiful. LuXuriant grasses flourish
everywhere and streams of pure water
run down the sides of it's mountains
and it's canyons. 1t has many i'm
~provements, too, including orchards,
gardens, ranches and groves of trees.
It's beach is of white sand, and slopes
in just the way to make it an ideal
bathing resort. Thus it is possible to-
have a delightful sea bath one thou
sand miles from the ocean and 1880.
feet above the ocean level.
