The meeting in the old courthouse was
a fine one. It compared with all the
other meetings Mr.. Long has been hold

some others. Lane county Republicans
and admirers of the Seventh district rep
resentative poured out TO hear him and
filled up the courtroom before the ap-
Pointed hour Mr.. Long has not yet fully
recovered his strength from his recent
indisposition, but made his usual forceful
speech. and pleased the audience, especi-
ally by his reference to the president and
to reciprocity to Cuba.
Lane county has nearly 500 votes. 1t has
gained over fifty in the past year The
Republicans have quite little the best of
it. though the county is close Filson for
representative and probably all the rest
Of the ticket win have small majorities
This is the third time S. L. Filson has
run for the legislature and the third
time Dan King has opposed him. They
began the race in 1898 Filson was de-
feated by twenty votes In 1900 it was
tie. and Filson secured the seat. This
year. Filson thinks he will make it clear
y victory. Each is a substantial stock

Cattle and wheat are the principal in

A GOOD STOCK COUNTRY.

Stretching across the northern por-
lions of the states of Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Minnesota is a vast tract of
country, originally pine timber land,
now denuded of its fine forests and
much of it burned over so that all ma
tive vegetation has been literally burn
ed out-a wild, desolate and uninyiting
region-but a good soil is there over
much Of the territory and certain
annual rainfall of from twenty-five to
thirty inches. conditions under which
all our native grasses will find con.
genial home, and if these grasses will
grow stock can be probably kept, and
if stock can be kept it means settle
ment and prosperity for that country.
Much of It is also a splendid fruit
country, where the appse will find its
most congenial home. Markets are
close by, transportation by rail and
lake easy of access. These lands are
worth looking into by men desiring
cheap farms.

THE "NEsTER.Y

The "nester," a range phrase coined
to designate the homesteader who en-
tiers on a range Of government land
occupied by some stockmen as pas
ture land for his herds, is a veritable
thorn in the flesh to the cattlemen.
In some cases the "nester'' is accorded
frontier treatment to force him to
leave-crops destroyed by range herds,
stock killed and house burned; in some
cases the owner himself killed. While
the coming of the actual settler no
doubt badly upsets the plans of the
stockmen, the government is right be-
hind the homesteader and it may be
depended upon that wherever land is
now used for range purposes which
may be used as arabic land to produce
crops the cattlemen will have to relin-
quish in favor Of the ''nester."

Little Ted's hand went up like a

Can any Of these bright, smiling little
boys or girls repeat the golden text for
today? All, how glad it makes my
heart to see SO many little hands go
up! Teddy, my boy, you may repeat 1t,
and speak good and loud that all may

And they all heard this: "And the
child grew and waxed strong in spirit
like 2:40."

A BAD YEAR FOR THEORIES.

BAD YEAR FOR THEORIES.
The present season has disposed of
whole lot of fanciful theories as to the
law governing droughts and rainfall.
For years past the papers have teemed
with articles hased upon the assump-
ton that the destruction of the forests
of the country was Diminishing the
rainfall and producing disastrous
droughts; that the drainage of the
swamp lands and shallow lakes and
the tile draining of the farms were
largely responsible for the dry weather,
and many there Were who believed in
these theories. Now, here comes the
summer Of 1902 with such general
and unusual fall of rain during four
months period all through the Mis-
sissippi valley region that all these
fancy theories are completely exploded.
The truth is that trees grow where
rain falls, ana the rain does not fall
because the trees grow. The drainage
of the soil does just as much to keep
it moist in dry time as it does to keep
it dry in wet one. Nothing which
man does or can do can enlarge or di-
minish the rainfall or prevent floods
or droughts in the smallest degree. At
best man can only modify effects Of
both, and this he can do and does by
drainage, conservation of moisture by
proper tillage and tempering the force
and aridity Of the winds by planting
forests, and by removing them can pro-
duce floods, dry up the springs, destroy
the water powers and convert forest
areas into bleak and desert territory,
but he never runs the waterworks I'M
der any circumstances. The records
Of fifty or more years show that sea-
sons OF periods Of extreme drought and
excessive rainfall come in cycles; like
wise seasons of extreme heat and cold.
| A season which gives the exact mean
| or average Of heat cold and precipita-
ton is much rarer than one which goes
to extremes in some form or other.

SOME MISTAKES IN GROWING RAPE.

SOME MISTAKES IN GROWING RAPE.
A lesson pretty well learned this sea-
son by all who have experimental with
sowing rape with crops of small grain
has been that the rape should be sown
after the grain is up and well out Of
the ground. Sowing at the same time,
the rape grows too fast and does seri-
GUS injury to the grain. Another thing
learned is that the sowing Of rape
should be limited to the number of
head of stock which can be depended
upon to keep it well fed down-for in
stance, one acre for each twenty five
pigs large and small, or each twenty
sheep to be fed. The crop is of no
earthly use unless it can be fed and
closely fed off, as the first frost kills
it, and'it cannot possibly be made into
hay of any sort.

WISHED HE'D STAYED ON FARM.

1t sometimes happens that the man
who leaves his farm with its work,
fret and worry for quiet life in town
does not realize on his expectations. A
friend Of the writer of this Glass; after
getting nicely settled in town, was go
ing by building in course Of erection
when stone, falling, caught him and
broke his leg. After repairs were
made, which took about three months,
he tripped upon broken sidewalk and
broke the other leg. He has had more
trouble in the six months he has been
in town than in all the thirty years he
lived on the farm.
