Trespass.

Itis supposed by some persons, that
before they can commit trespass on the
premises of others, that the owner there.
Of must post notices forbidding trespass-
ers, which ia not the case. 1t is not nee
essary at all, as all trespassers do so at
their own peril without regard to notices
being posted. The following from the
laws of Oregon defines trespass, under
certain conditions Of the term:
"Sec, 27.-It shall be unlawful for anv
person at any time to enter into any
standing or growing grain, or upon any
enclosed premises not the property Of the
person entering into or upon the same,
with intent to catch, recover, take or
kill any bird, or wild fowl or wild ami
NAL, or to permit any dog or dogs
with which such person may then be
hunting or DO 80 tor such purpose. with
out permission from the owner or person
in charge of such premises.
As have men working in the timber
on my lands who may become crippled
by stray shot, also gentle cattle run
ming thereon which may become crippled
by shooting on the premises. or wild
from the presence of dogs. hereby
warn ali persons to take notice of the
above statute. and cease trespassing on
my premises. M. S. WooDcock.

use Of the Office in planning a
method of keeping an accurate
record of irrigation statistics,
making such changes from time
to time as will be made necessa-
ry for the building of new sys-
tens and the abandoning of old
ones. The Office has begun the
work of indicating on the maps
the location of every irrigating
ditch in the United States. This
will be considerable task, but
such maps and the record men,
toned will be of great use to the
geological survey, to which bu !.
reau has been entrusted the very
responsible work OF constructing
the government irrigation system.
The irrigation committee of
the house will take rank: with
the most important cot1mittees
of congress, and it is fortunate
for the country that the commit
tee has as its chairman such a
strong, capable aud well-inform-
ed gentleman as Mr.. Tongue.

Money In Clover.

The Kiger-Harding-Raber clo-
yer huller completed this years.
run Saturday. Ali told about
200 bushels of clover was hulled
this year for parties who reside
a few miles north of this city.
This is quite an industry and if
managed on the right lines there
is good money in raising clover
seed for the market. Clover seed
at present is worth in the neigh
borhood of II cents per pound
and it weighs 60 pounds per
bushel.
Richard Kiger says that he
has gained considerable informa-
ton regarding clover during his
experience of the past two years.
Clover, he says, is easily wasted
in hulling if it is the least bit
damp, and it pays to put off hull
ing it until all of the dew is off
the clover. The first crop of
clover should be cut for hay, as
it does not fill we'll for seed. The
seed of the first crop has a ten
dency to shrivel, while the sec
ond crop produces splendid seed.
Another matter of importance
is that the first year after a clover
crop is sown it will produce more
seed than at any future time. A
good stand of first-year clover
will produce about three bushels
of seed per acre. At the present
price of seed this will bring $2I.-
60 per acre, in addition to the
crop of hay that should have
been cut. The huller is capa-
bic of turning out from so to 90
bushels per day in anything like
a good crop.

THE "JIM CROW" LAW.
Colored Citizens Declare It to Be Blow
at Civil RIGHTS.

meeting Of the Afro-American Council
was held last night at the Vermont Avenue
Baptist Church. between Q and r streets
northwest. to take action On the bill intro
duced In Congress by Representative Ed
ward Morrell Of Pennsylvania which pro-
hibits railroad officials from separating
passengers on account Of race, color or
previous condition Of servitude.
The church was crowded with colored
people from all over the city and was ad-
dressed by ex-Representative George H.
White Of North Carolina, Rev. George w.
Lee. pastor Of the Vermont Avenue Bap-
tist Church: Mr.. ]. H. Hayes and others
The remarks of the speakers aroused con-
siderable enthusiasm, and before the close
OF the meeting resolutions were adopted to
the effect:
THAT the Jim Crow car law now in
vogue in several of the southern states is
a blow aimed at the civil rights of Ameri-
can citizens. with a view to inconvenience
and humiliate the colored people Of the
United States. who. at all times and under
all circumstances. have been loyal to the
government and excelled by none in their
support of the flag, whether assailed at
home or In foreign lands.
THAT the colored people have done moth
ing to merit such unjust treatment, and
they appeal to the powers that be to right
the wrong there inflicted as soon as pos
sible.
..That the bill introduced in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Edward Morrell at
the present session OF Congress prohibit
ing railroad officials from separating pas
sengers on account of race or color is q
just measure. and should be enacted into
law at the earliest practicable moment:
and we urge all patriotic and fair-minded
citizens. irrespective OF race, color or party
aifiliation. to join with us in petitioning
Congress to pass the Morrell bill at once"
