to throw away the best chance she

In due course we entered the aviary

cage, and from my native and con-
genial blue.
The aviary is not bad place,

however, depends on the canary with
whom you share it. Jessie makes a

only real difficulty was to decide
which of the five should be the one to

NOW LOOK OUT!

''Take care of yourself" say our friends.
''I'll try to-" we answer. We do take a little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammaticns and CONCESSIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
tie fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement Of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from Geld weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

District.

With the approach Of the summer
and the consequent drawing nign OF
the congressional convention, interest
begins 20 center in the coming event
us il certainly promises to be a close
one between Congressman Sheldon
and H. O. Young, who is contesting
the seat Of Mr.. Sheldon. Anyone who
considers that either Mr.. Sheldon ar
Mr.. Young has lead pipe cinch on
the nomination. certainly evidences
an ignorance Of the present condition
Of things in the district There are
conflicting reports abroad regarding
the attitude Of Houghton County and
the figure that Chas. Wright is going
TO cut up there. Some Of these reports
are doubtless inspired by the adherents
Of either Of the main contestants.
Some will tell You that Mr.. Wright is
out Of the race others say he will have
Houghton county. One thing is Ger
tain and that Is that were Mr. Wright
and Mr. Sheldon TO start out on an
equal footing after Houghton county,
Mr.. Wright would get it hands down
for he is clean capable fellow, well
thought OF where he is known, but un-
fortunately, little known outside Of his
own county. ION the other hand, Mr..
Sheldon strongest possessions are out
side of Houghton and the politicians
OF the county, the shrewdest in the
district. can readily see that to swap
horses under present circumstances
means the shifting Of the load. OPP
ponents or,Mr Sheldon rely upon the
fact that at the last convention Mr.
Sheldon and the leaders in Houghton
County. such men as Captain Parnal,
John Duncan, Tom Dunstan, Sen
ator Chas. Smith and others, gave their
personal guarantee that should Mr.
Sheldon be given the nomination at
that CUnventionDhe would not be a
candidate for reelection. Now it's
up To those gentlemen TO show If they
meant what they said Mt that time
There have been some denials of such
promise being made but that 1t was
made the writer hereof can vouch for
the truth Of, for he was shown tele-
gram sent 70 prominent mining man

would not be in the race again.
Mr.. Sheldon and his friends dodge
this issue with the statement that that
promise was made to the supporters Of
Judge Haire and Frnak Mead and now,
that niether Haire nor Mead is in the
race. Mr.. Sheldon is released from
such promises. But the opponents Of
Mr.. Sheldon come back with the state
ment that the only reason Judge Haire
is not In the race this time is the fact
that he ascertained to his own satisfac-
tion. that he could not get the first
coice in Houghton county for the rea-
son that Mr. Wright had the thing
and the county beyond dispute, and
without the support Of Houghton
county he, Haire would not enter
the race 1t is further stated on good
authority that the conscience of all of
the Houghton leaders is not as easily
quieted az is that Of Mr. Sheldon and
his immediate friends and that it is a
battle between personal honor and sec.
tional pride with them
This is as true and as unbiased re
view OF the conditions in Houghton
county as we have been able to get so
that our readers can see that there is
considerable of strife in Houghton
county, which added to the ambitions
Of Houghton county men who are anx-
ious TO hasten the time when they may

some show of attracting the bolt makes
the securing of the county problem.
Conservative observers, however, are
prone to give Hougthon 20 Sheldon,
figuring that local pride will in the end
predominate but at the same time il
is equally asserted that should the coun-
" go to Sheldon, the cohesive force
will not be strong and unless Mr..
Sheldon has a dead open and shut on the
go-in, his support from that county
will quickly melt
Thus disposing of Houghton, we
turn our attention TO the other coun.
ties. It is quite certain that the fight,
outside Of Houghton itself, aud posi-
bly,, Keewenaw Baraga and Outonagon,
will be between Sheldon and Young.
In the three counties named. Mr..
Wright is known, TO some extent, and
to know him is TO respect him, and his
personal friends who have gone out
from Houghton to superintend the

ALFALFA

There is great latitude of opinion
and practice in the preparation of
soil for alfalfa. The opinion gen.
orally prevails that deep plowing or
sub-soiling is very important but Sen
ator f. V. Peterson of Kansas does not
hold to this belief as an infallible
rule and says on the subject: Il
would stir the soil about 80 deep as for
corn. formerly owned half inter
est in a 5'0-acre ranch in Morgan
county, Colorado, under irrigation all
of which we seeded to alfalfa. In the
spring of 1898 we seeded sixty-five
acres of this land On six acres of
this at one side of the field we failed
to get stand II was what we call
ed gumbo soil nd as hard a. a brick.
The following spring by advice of an
old resident we sowed alfalfa on this
land without plowing or any prepara-
tion whatever. We attempted to cover
the seed with n harrow, but it did not
make much impression. We promptly
irrigated the piece, got good stand
and it proved to be fine piece of
alfalfa. -

that this distinguished company, while

their good name by being found in a

have a team go up from this city, but
it seems that Denver and Colorado

extra good material here and became
afraid TO complete against Us. They
accordingly got together to fix up a
job in order that the local schools eould
not send good team to Boulder.
North and South Canon schools COM
bined, and it was ON account of this
that the protest was msde by the other
schools, They waited until it was
too late to train another class, and
that is the reason the local school has
decided not to send a team.
To say the least, the treatment the
Canon City boys have received at the
hands of Boulder, was very discour-
teous and ungentlemanly.

picturesque, yet recent enough TO be
