Growing Vegetables Under Glass
The members of the Gardeners Club have
been devoting attention to the growing of
vegetables under glass Mr.. Conrad Hess, OF
Waverly, experimental with tomatoes, and
succeeded in raising the Lorillard last wiz
ter with great perfection, and profit also,
as they netted him Is cents per pound in New
York. Many of the tomatoes weighed nearly
a pound each. Mr.. E. Holden, gardener for
DR.. Jacobs at Uplands, is successful grower
of nearly all kinds of vegetables under glass,
including canteloupes and strawberries. Mr.;
Holden succeeds in cultivating caulihower and
beets, two vegetables exceedingly difficult to
grow under glass. There appears to beaquite
prospective future in this direction. At the
Maryland Experiment Station a couple OF
winters ago Professor Robinson grew by sub
irrigation some remarkably fine tomatoes.
The gardeners however, do not use the sub
irrigation method.-BaltimOre Sun.

TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T.

There are two SIDES to every ques-
ton, that cannot be denied, though
the remark is not original The in
ducements which are being held out
to homeseekers in the northwest, pre-
sumably by the railroads, often by
the immigration bureaus and kindred
assemblies of the towns and cities in
the booming west are often high col
ored and overdrawn.
To counterfeit in a measure this
influence, letter has been sent out
by President Mcdonald of the West
ern Labor union, which is perhaps in
itself little harsh and bearing too
harshly upon the question; treating
it with degree of unfairness which
cannot fail to react, and has in fact
brought upon him the play of bitter
writer's of the Montana press. Mr..

That phrase mon persona grata'
has been doing duty many years, and
it is expressive to the last. Miles and
Dewey must think of it every time
they are ignored by the plutocracy
which reigns in high places at Wash
intgton, and particularly must it have
impressed them during the past two
weeks, when the commanders N
chief of the United States army and
navy were allowed no part in the
Prince Henry festivities. They have
been shelved along with the constitu-
ton and Declaration of independence.
The two men who have fought our
battles on land and sea, Miles and
Dewey, must from this on take back
seats. To the administration they
are mon persona grata" No reflected

The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and place the car
riers under the contract system has
passed the house, but in form that
completely changed the purpose for
which it was framed. Before it was
passed, the bill was altered radically
by it's opponents. All provisions re-
lating to the placing of carriers I'M
der the contract system were strick-
en- out and the salary system not
only was continued, but the maximum
salary of carriers was increased from
$500 to 5000 per annum. AS passed,
the bill Classics the rural free de-
livery service and fixes the compen-
sation of employees as follows: Spe-
cial agents in charge of divisions, not
exceeding $4,000 per annum; special
agents, four classes, graded from
$1,000 to $1,000; route inspectors,
four classes, from 5000 to $1,000;
clerks, four classes, from 5000 to
$1,000. The compensation of carriers
is not to exceed $500.

Hoar, objecting to the production of
the popular election bill in the SEN
ate on the grounds that such meas

of the people for the popular election
of senators been smothered in com

less haste in presenting this constitu-

obllterating Smallpox Fittings.

Scientifct reatment and much skill are
required to remove smallpox pittings
successfully. This treatment is given
by masseuse, but massage is not
used, as it would never remove the
pittings. The process requires a care
full removing, little by little, of old Gu
ticle. The new, which takes the place,
is smoother than its predecessor and
requires about ten days for treatment.
Thus after couple or more treat
ments and in comparatively short
time, the deepest scars are replaced by
perfectly smooth skin.

Hum ha, did you notice that Mr.
Hill, gunner on the United States
training ship Pensacola and survivor
of the Maine, has been turned down
as ineligible for a commission by the
flunkeys at Washington. Mr.. Hill is
a good man, passed a most credita-
BILE examination, but is lamentably
deficient in that polish which IS so
essential to the profession of a naval
officer. Mr.. Gunner Morgan was also
turned down on the same count by
some under secretary in the snob de-
partment at Washington about a year
ago, and there was a great howl
raised-but it subsidized. Mr. Gunner
Hill hardly obtained that notoriety,
but in the face of it all the act of
1901, which authorizes enlisted men
of the navy to become commissioned
officers after passing certain examina-
ton, still stands. A written law
which may as well be effaced.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, MARCH is, 1902.
THE HANSBROUGH BILL.

HHAL EaNlNADuNOOOHt DtIGs
The splendid majority in the senate
by which the irrigation bill was
passed will not be without it's effect
in the house, where it goes under the
title of the Newlands bill. A minority
report has been filed in the house
against this bill by Ray of New York
and Jenkins of Wisconsin, which dis
plays the utter smallness of these
members from Yankee land, for Wis
consin is pretty thorough New Eng
land state itself The report charac-
terizes the measure as an unfair,
unwise and improvident scheme, so
vast and expensive that the ordinary
nina is staggered at is contempla-
ton" The report said that the peo-
pie of the states and territories do
not approve the plan, and lat the
land grant railroads are behind this
scheme and are the real beneficial
ries." The bill is also declared to be
unconstitutional in it's provision for
condemning the lands within the
states.
This a most exaggerated and Grim
inal attitude, because it is false
throughout, as every resident of the
arid region knows. Our people are
more eager for this government aid
than they are for free silver even;
more united in sentiment. AS far
as the railroads go, they favor the
bill, of course, as they favor any
measure which insures them an in
crease of traffic. AS to it's unconsti-
tutional features, there are as good
lawyers in the senate as the house
boasts of, and who are Ray and Jen-
kins, anyhow?
A brief explanation of the intent
of the Hansbrough bill is that it ap-
propriates the proceeds from the
sales of public lands to the purposes
of irrigation. The amount annually
received from the public land sales
averages about $3,O00,0OO The work
will be done under the direction of
the department of the interior. The
department will have charge of the
irrigation fund and will plan and
carry to completion the surveys and
examinations required to locate the
reservoirs and other irrigation works
to the best advantage. The cost of
the completed works will be assessed
against the lands watered by this
means, and the money collected will
go into the reclamation fund CON
stantly replenishing it and affording
means for carrying on the work It
is estimated that government irriga-
ton, once in operation, will be prac-
tically self-sustaining, and will in
time more than meet expenses.
In many quarters this plan of ma
tional irrigation is regarded as better
than direct appropriation. Under
the present arrangement the west is
asking no favors and the national
treasury is not tapped. Should occa.
sion arise, the west stands in po
sition to ask the national govern
ment for other favorable legislation
This would not be the case were Law
ish appropriations made for the bene
fit of the arid west The independent
position the Hansbrough bill permits
the west to assume is one of the chic
advantages of the measure.

Mcdonald was somewhat in the
wrong in this paragraph of his letter
at least:
eff the plain truth were known
there would be no incentive for set
tiers, homeseekers or working people
to come west to improve their condi-
lions. There is not a desirable tract
of untaken land in the northwest that
will not require hundreds and in most
cases thousands of dollars to make it
productive. The statement that the
northwest is a boundless tract of
rich, productive and fruitful land
open for settlement and only await
ing the magic touch of the poverty
stricken farmer from the east to
make it yield forth in abundance all
the best products of the farm is just
as false as it is well sounding If the
railroad officials who make these
statements and advertise them were
given their just deserts they would
be considered as criminals and
treated as such. Their avertise-
ments will bring years of hardship,
privation and suffering to those who
accept them as truth, and who come
west in the expectation of securing
homes or employment"
We who are here know that there
is an incentive, the hope of doing
more than earning living wages, a
chance for securing and maintaining
a home. There is also a chance for
argument in his statement that no de-
sirable tracts of land are available
to the workingman, if he has not
$500 or more. But in some other re-
spects a note of warning is not al
together amiss.
The men who are most wanted in
IltS lOi III WSot are IuSn WIZ are uOI
likely to hang about out of job and
candidates for soup house tickets.
What is wanted particularly is a
class of farmers, fruitraisers, manu-
facturerers and industries, all we can
get. There's lots of room for them.
But it is wrong to let loose the i'm
preston that $50 week jobs are lay
ing around waiting for the emigrant
to gather them in or that gold strews
the highways and byways, It isn't
true, it isn't just to the country, it
isn't just to the homeseekers, and,
wors, of all, it isn't just to the work
ingmen who are already here.
On the whole, Brother McDonald's
suggestion that unless they have at
least $500 in their inside pocket they
had better think twice before leaving
the old home is not so far-fetched
