GEN. BALDWIN's FOOL TALK.

Gen. Frank D. Baldwin is facing the probability of
court-maral which shall inquire into the accuracy of
interview with him sent from Denver few days ago.
In the of his talk Gen Baldwin is quoted as hav
ing said that he liked command Fpinos and negroes
for the reason that it made difference if they
killed; they better than dogs, any way
When his attention called to the alleged inter
view Baldwin adopted the of the fool and the
coward by holly declaring he had been misquoted But
the newspaper man who wrote the interview was prompt
with an affidavit TO the effect that he had correctly set
down what Baldwin said and the additional assertion
that Baldwin emphasized what he said by his manner
1he affidavit makes the sufficiently explicit to war

preference. Instead of despising the
farm because his father did not make
a success of farming, he would better
use his fathers failures as stepping
stones to better things. Let him con-
slider the farm, not from the average
farmers standpoint, but from bust
ness viewpoint, and let him not con-
slider emigration to large city until he
has intelIigently, and for a long time,

much how much one earns as it is
how much he has left over at the end
on a good farm may leave much more
in actual money than five times as
much cash in the city.
Our comforts come largely from the
difference between what we earn and
what we have to spend. The farmer
often has twice as much cash at the
end of the year as has the city dyell-
er.
What the world needs today is more,
not less, farmers. more intelligent, sci
entific farmers, more business farm
ers. There is business in farming If
one will apply business to it.
There are too few agricultural COL
leges and schools. The state can do
no nobler or higher work fer civiliza-
ton than to establish farming schools
where the business. not the dfudgery.

II there is any reason for govern

applied to substituting farmers.

ey today for general education; It is

He was lucky If he got a few kind
Words from some elderly Patroness.
AS for the Girls who owned a Million

They would permit him to go out

about as far as he could go.
So he became that pathetic Figure,

dial and yet if a full-grown Man tried
to hold this same Lady's Hand for a
couple of Minutes. just to be sociable,
she would tell around that she had
been Insulted.
In speaking of Wilbur the Girls US
ually said that he was Cute, or else
just too Cunning for any use. The
Men said various Things about him but
what they said does not come under
the head of Sunday Reading.
Every Debutante wanted to wear
him on her Chatelaine, but most of the
Men were plotting to drop a little
Prussic Acid into his Ice Cream Soda.

One Reason why Wilbur had such q
strong Pull with the Buds was that he
never permitted his Work to Interfere
with his Social Duties. They could get
him on the Phone at any time and
book him for any kind of a Stunt from
Luncheon to a Golf Tourney. He kept
his Evening Clothes at the Office. and

Why They Voted "No,v on Bonding.

White Salmon, WASH, Oct. 26, 1908
Editor Glacier: We have been little
slow in letting the public know that
the bond election at White Salmon,
September |, 1908, for the purpose OF
bonding the school district for 81 800 to
build school house, was carried 10y il.
legal voting We have been looking
up the matter to see what we could do,
and what the cost would be to stop the
sale of the bonds, and find the lawyers
would charge US so much that we had
better have an illegal school house than
pay them their price. But the bonds
with the present Indebtedness will ex-
ceed the constitutional limit allowed
school districts.
5. w. Condor had an article in your
paper, few weeks ago, about a man
being kicked to death by horse be-
cause the fool did not know enough to
let go of his tail. We have known men
to lose all they had by mortgages be-
cause the fools did not know enough
to stop mortgaging. That is the CON
dition of Bro. Condor today. He may
try and make people believe it was be
that stopped US from going further to-
ward interfering with the bond sale,
but he caused us to go as far as
we did. He tried all kinds of bluffs on
US, but we are not people to be bluffed,
at least not by anything like him. He
had no more power over us than his
little dog Ninety. He tried to make
out that we did not believe in educa-

far in advance of vacancies, and foreign
ministers are created.
Places like ambassador to Turkey, min
lister to the Argentine, Japan and consul
to Cheefoo, Trieste and Topolobampo
are promised in advance.
Head of state institutions are thrown
into the lottery that makes up the state
and district conventions, and state and
federal judgeships are allotted.
1t is mild estimate to say that so to
100 offices are amenable to the methods
of the patronage dispenser, that are
worth all the way from $1,000 to $4,000
year.
Then there are hundreds of smaller
awards for the party crumb-pickers of
the male sex, and not few of the polit-
ically-inclined females.
There will be two elections in Oregon
next year-one in June for congressman,
county and state officials, and one in
November for presidential electors.
The hold-over state senators will have
state senator to elect, who will succeed
Senator John II. Mitchell.
Whether that gentleman will have a
contest on his hands or whether he will
succeed himself without opposition as
he did in 1892, remains to be seen.
Nineteen hundred four will be his
tory-waking one in Oregon and in the
nation, and every American who loves
his country should be prepared to take
his part in the coming campaigns.

NEW IDEAS ON FARMING.


We have concluded, after great deal
of persuasion and few threats, to give
the public the benefit OF a few notes and
valuable suggestions from time t. time
on Intensive Farming, or How TO Get
Rich on an Acre OF Poor Soil" +"
The first thing is to get you some
"humus." You must have humus or
your seeds won't sprout true to name.
There are many kinds OF humus, but the
cheapest costs the least and is therefore
not so expensive, requiring less outlay,
and is more economical. Having bor-
rowed some humus, the next thing is to
get it into the ground. We have found
piece of 6x6 scantling sawed Of at both
ends and about seven feet long with a
handle through the top the best thing
to ram in the humus with. Two men by
this means can ram enough humus into
field in day to perceptably increase
the size of the biceps and stimulate the
action of the liver for a week.
Having gotten the humus well tamped
into the subsoil plant your crop
and proceed to estimate your net profits.
Stick to your estimates and have every
thing enlarged" at the store. Learn to
eat prunes and chew your food we'll. Do
not swear at the animals. II the COW

To Whom it May Concern:
We desire to express our thanks to
the parties who took the liberty on
Saturday, the oath inst, of addressing
and mailing us a lettersigned Brother

doors, or in other words, to quit busi-
ness. While we are very sorry, indeed,
if the fact that we are steadily building
up and establishing good grocery
trade in any way antagonizes compet-
ing houses, yet we regret that it has
become our duty to remind the authors
of this anonymous letter that so long
as this is free country, we claim the
privilege of selling goods in our own
store at whatever prices we may deter
mine reasonable. We desire to express
our willingness at all times to accom-
mOdate our competitors in any way
reasonable, but the request to "close
our DOORS is asking a little more than
business courtesy. We therefore take
this means of informing one and all
who are parties to this anonymous let
ter that we must decline at this time
to grant the favor asked. We hope
that these few lines of warning may be
sufficient without bringing any indi-
vidual names to the public. However,
If our jealous competitors persist in try
ing to tear down our business by un-
derhanded methods, we desire TO state
at this time that we are prepared TO
show up the individuals and prove
cOnclusively the underhanded methods
used and by whom. As the Hood
River public will not tolerate nor pa
tronize any house ormsn who is known
to resort to such rascality as was re-
Gently tried against our firm, the au-
thOrs of this anonymous letter referred

rather than to be trying by methods

ton. This is not so. We believe in
education but we do not believe in 60
ing in debt for it when there is a way
to avoid it. The school house we have
is all right for awhile longer and we
think will do as much to help them
pay off their mortgages in the town of
White Salmon as Il school house we are
in debt for and that was got by Illegal
