JOINT Representative for Union and

Populist ticket to represent Wallowa
county in the legislature in 1894. and
although the youngest member in the
House, made commendable record
and was the recognized leader of the
Populist members of the Is legislative
assembly. The Oregonian of that
date commented as follows:-"Mr

Iowa, was again the object OF good

stated:-"Burleigh, OF Wallowa, did
the people OF the state a good turn in

sons bill relating to printing. The
bill was carefully wOrded and its true
character was not discovered until
Burleigh, who is an editor, examined
the bill and Immediately made war
on it by giving its champion Hofer,

VISIT TO T1NAHA
President niller, of the SmeIter
Company Returns.

"Thnt there is copper already expos
ed in the Snake river district of suffic-
lent richness and extent to justify the
erection OF a smelter, we do not be-
lleve there is the slightest doubt. In
fact, there is ore to keep half dozen
smelters busy. Transportation facil-
tiles alone are required to put the
district into the steady producing
class"
This was the statement made YES
terday to Tribune reporter by Mr.. ].
L. Miller, a capitalist of Chicago and
Sterling, Illinois, who is president of
OF the Eureka Gold Mining and Smelt-
ing company, recently organized for
the purpose of erecting a smelter at
some point on the upper Snake river.
Mr. Miller returned here Saturday
evening from trip of inspection to
the lmnaha district, and will leave
this morning for the east. He was
accompanied on the trip by John
Olson, mining expert, and Mr.. VIM.
Strow, hydraulic engineer.
"We, of course, had been previously
informed regarding the ores of the
district" said Mr.. Miller, "and our
visit was made on matters directly
connected with the installation of the
smelter. However, | wish to state
that the smelter is an impossibilitv
until transportation is afforded. The
idea OF getting heavy machinery into
that country under present conditions
simply cannot be entertained, and its
operation, without convenient trans
portation facilities, could not be un-
dcrtaken. When the smelter COM
pany was organized we understood
that boat would be put on the river
and early information was to the
effect that the service would be in
effect last summer. There is now
nothing to retard the early and full
consummation OF our plans, if boat
service is installed and can successful
| ly be operated. With the confidence
that the river can success fully naviga-
ted, | cannot understand why business
men have not long ago opened up
that region. Its wealth is not alone
in copper mines. 1 found on my trip
That it is an extensive stock country.
There will be wool and stock ship
ments, and even fruit. With the sup
plies going to the mines and heavy
travel that will follow the opening of
an extensive mining district, there
Will IN my judgment be business
for half dozen boats, unless the rail
roads crowd into the country. 1t
seems to me that the development of
that country is OF the the greatest i'm
portance 60 every interest in this city.
We have planned to have the smelter
installed and in operation by October
but we are, as | have explained, simply
governed by the transportation
feature. Our initial plant will have
IA capacity of at least 100 tons daily
and additions will be made to meet
meet any demands Of custom trade.
The Snake river district undoubtedly
has Il great future.-Tribune.

"The doctors gave me no encourage

''The crazy spell would last about
nine days, then she would be wen about
nine days, but would eat very little and
was very yellow. Even the whites Of

'In March thought sawsymptoms
of the spells again and got six boxes

TWO EXCELLENT CROPS.
sweet Corn and Fodder ~ Well u
Sorghum Relished by Hogs and
MILK Cows.

There are two crops that can be
grown by the farmer in almost any
part of the corn and hog belt that are
especially adapted for hogs and cows.
One OF these is sweet corn, anc the
other is sorghum. The former can be
cultivated about as cheaply as field
corn, but will mature much earlier and
scarcest and most needed. 1t is an
ideal feed for young stuff, especially
for pigs. ltgives them start so that
they are in good condition for field corn
later on.
I wish to impress upon your readers
the advantages of sorghum. 1t is a
plant of vigorous growth and stands
drought remarkably well. 1t lisa heavy
yielder. 1t will make as much succu-
lent food per acre as any feed that
can be produced. In planting this crop
do not get it too thick for hogs, as the
larger the stalk the more sap and
the more seed it will produce. found
ont by experience that hogs do not
care for small stalks, though they are
better for cattle. will plant three
feet six inches by three feet and not
too much in hill, so as to get as large
q growth as possible to the stalk and
seed. Although last season was a
very dry one, got from four to five
tons per acre.
To the beginner would say start
with an acre, and sec how much feed of
that kind you will need. For an ordi-
nary farmer with ten brood sows, some
growing shotes. an acre will be enough
and You win have some besides for
cattle. Five pounds of seed will be
required to plant an acre. Sorghum
gives the hogs thrifty and growthy
look and condition. Their hair is as
smooth As if they had been groomed.
l also feed the crop cured. To cure
the crop had large shed 60 feet in
length, in which hauled and leaned
up around the walls till it was cured
and then stored in one end. The en-
envy of the seed is mice, chickens and
English sparrows. If you can keep
them off, you are all right. There is no
waste in sorghum fodder. as the horses
and cattle will eat every vestige of it,
and you can't tell where you fed them
last. Cows will leave good corn fodder
to eat sorghum.-G. d. Work, in Ne
braska Farmer.

LAUNDERING COURTESY.
The Obliging Young Man Had Hair
ON HIS Head and Could Spare
His Hat.

Excessive kindness Of heart, when al
he'd to laundering courtesy, is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident. OF such
is the following: A president in recent
times of one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession of trim little yacht,
which he was fond of sailing in one of the
reaches of 'ae River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion.
He was Immediately assisted ashore and
. change of clothing provided at an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
hat of any description. The president,
who is an old man and correspondingly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uncomforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students Of the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however, seemed
yours, what will you do" "Oh, sir" said
the student, at doesn't matter for me- I've
got hair on my head" This statement Wa
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and he laughed heartily at
what, after all, was not wholly oneeided
joke, for the CONSERVATION Of the student
may be better imagined than described.
