past two weeks is not without inter

13 cents. while the new crop coming
in is rated at 10 to 12 cents. Last
year at this time raw cotton was sell

Inquiry OF the Salem merchants
shows that cotton staples are up about
30 per cent above prices three months
ago and merchants who bought large
stocks early in the year have made
fine advance. although Salem mer.

goods according to the advance in

from which we are permitted TO quote
as follows:
"The present condition Of the mar.

the question OF getting goods than 1t
is to secure a low price. The great
trouble all season has been 10 get

THAT there is a scarcity Of cotton
goods there is not the least doubt.
The mills are reluctant TO make them

can not afford TO sell them at the
present prices II raw material con.

Now the question comes right back
to the point, how much cotton are we
going to have. That Is beyond the
power OF any human agency 10 tell.
n there should be a normal crop OF
cotton | can not understand how there
can be any change in present prices

cotton will open at higher price than
Il did IN 1903; consequently all sta.

NO MORE DRUGS.
The Extinction of the Horse
Electricity VS..
Steam.

NEW YORK, January 1.-The
extinction of the horse and the
drug store are some of the things
the future has in store for us. ac-
cordlng to prophecies uttered by
Thomas a. Edison, the great in
ventor.
Some of the great problems of
the new year he regards as how to
night bacteria, to get electricity
direct from the coal and more
extending application of electricity
to manufacturing.
lie promises to have his new
storage battery on the market this
month, and declares it will solve
the traction problem and that its
introduction will mean that the
horse will haveto go. He continued:
"The wireless telegraph ! expect
to see perfected for commercial
purposes, if not fully so in 1903,
at least advanced toward that end.
The right kind of man is working
at it--a practical man, an earnest
mainland | have confidence in him.
"As to the objection that mes
sages may be tapped, that's as far
as the objectors can see now. That
may be true tonight; tomorrow
it may be different.
"Im not interested in the flying
machine. | could never see any
commercial use for it.
III have never had time to read
much about it.
"I expect to see electricity sup
plant steam rs motive power.
In fifteen years electricity will be
the railway motive power. Nine.
teen hundred and three will ad-
vance it in that direction.
Medicine is played out. Every
new discovery of bacteria shows us
all the more convincingly that we
have been wrong and that the mil
lion tons of stuff that we have
taken was all useless.
1.-THE doctor of the future will
give no medicine, but will instruct
his patient in the care ofthe human
frame, in diet and in the cause and
prevention Of disease. Surgery,
diet, antiseptics, these three are
the vital things Of the future in
the preservation of the health of
humanity

FATTENING STEERS.
ID. j. Mayes, of Centralia,
Has a Way.

The MESSAGE takes the follow
ing article from the Farmers In
stitute Edition of the Live Stock
Indicator, written by d. j. Mayes,
of Centralia, Mo:
The natural habits should be
taken into consideration when it
is decided to fatten steers. The
age of the steer must also he con-
sidered. Young steers that are
growing must have feed that con-
tains properties for building mus
Gle, bone, flesh and tallow, while
a mature animal only needs the
food for flesh and tallow produc-
ton. If were going to make a
ten months feed with three year
old steers would begin the first of
February by feeding them with
what is familiarly known as shock
corn. | would let them run on
this for two months gradually in
creasing the amount 50 as to have
them.on full feed the first of April.
| would then commence feeding
corn without shuck, using enough
trough room so there would be no
crOwding to get to the feed. |
would run them on this feed for
three months. On the first day of
July | would give them chopped
corn mixed with one fourth cotton
seed meal. Would feed this until
the middle of September. Then
the corn should be ground and
well mixed with an equal amount
of cotton seed meal, and during
the entire time | would feed only
twice day, giving them jus
what they would clean up well
My reasons for feeding this way
are: First, while a steer is thin
he will take considerable exercise
and will therefore digest and as.
simulate hard food readily, but as
the flesh and fat increase he will
take less exercise, continuing to
grow less active until very little
exercise is taken and the last two
months he will prefer to remain
very quiet. Then the meal as
mentioned above is just the thing
1t is dissolved and digested readi-
ly without taxing the physical en-
ergies of the animal.

Way 1t Looks.

The following is an observation
by the Centralia Guard:
The saloons are not pay ing
enough liceuse for town with over
two thousand people. We are
compelled to maintain several Off
GERS in the city because of having
saloons that we could otherwise
dispense with. Hence we say that
the saloons should pay more.
The last fight started as usual
in saloon. The city got $3 in
fines and paid twice this much for
the maintenance .of the court
above the officers fees and trim
mings.

Hill for Hanna.
Champ Clark's letter:

AS heretofore stated in these let
ters, when the short session of
congress began to all appearances
President Roosevelt had clear sail
ing for the Republican presidential
nomination. But things have
changed somewhat, and not to his
advantage. Nevertheless, he is
many laps ahead of all competitors.
But the way in which the name of
Senator Marcus A. Hanna bobs up
continually in that connection
must be unpleasant reading in
White House circles. The latest
contributor to the Hanna litcra-
ture is Hon. James j. Hill, the
puissant railroad magnate. The
Washington Times is responsible
for the following gossip:
When James j. Hill was in the
city recently, he hunted up Sena-
tor Hanna and asked him TO be-
come IA candidate for the Rcpubl-
can nomination for the presidency.
The railway magnate said that the
Ohio senator could rest assured
that he would have the harty sup.
port Of the strong z business inter
estS OF the country and that il
would be powerful enough to make
him win. The senator gave the
reply to Mr.. Hill which he has
given dozens of others-that is,
that he did not want the Job aud
would not have it if he could get
it.
That is most certainly important
if true, for Mr.. Hill is man OF
vast influence himself, and h,
trains with coterie OF men who
are powerful indeed, and if he ha(

A GRAND JURY
Says the Public Should Own
the Railroads.

New York, Dec. 81. The Kings
county grand jury made a pre-
sentiment to-day on traction facil-
tiles in Brooklyn, recommending
that steps be taken to annul the
charters of the constituent COM
panies of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company and that the city
acquired and operate the surface
and elevated lines. The present
ment declares that present condi-
tiOns are intolerable and contains
the statement that the officials of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany had admitted they could cure
the evils but were unwilling to do
so. The jury expresses the opin-
ion that the roads could be operat-
ed at a profit on three cent fare
basis. The presentment says:
"The only solution of this vexed
problem of metropolitan trans.
portation is municipal ownership
and operation of the means of pub
lie travel. These street railways.
elevated railways and tunnels, all
the facilities of metropolitan tran
sit that have been given away for
absolutely nothing until recently,
and practically nothing in this day
should be brought back where they
naturally belong, under the con-
troll from which they passed, the
ownership and operation of the
public.
"We are of the opinion, also,
from statistics submitted to us,
that experience has demonstrated
that, under public control, these
railway systems would not only be
operated efficiently for the public,
but that fares could be reduced to
say three cents, still leaving a
large net surplus revenue, after
the cost of operation is met, which
could be applied to reduce general
taxation"

BAD "NlGGERS."
Bumped In a Waltz and Then
One Wanted to Kill the
Other.

Sturgeon, Mo. Jan. 2, 1908. -
AT coiored dance last night at
the residence of Amos Hicks a
shooting took place. Willis Nelson
was waltzing with friend and
John Gibson was also waltzing
with lady friend and they bump
ed together and hot words follow
ed. Gibson invited Nelson out of
the house and out they went and
when they got into the yard Nelson
drew his pistol and fred just as
Gibson turned to run. He fired
two shots, one penetrating Gibson
under the shoulder blade aud com
ing out at the center of the breast
bone. Nelson was arrested and
sent to Jail without bond to await
the result of Gibson's wounds.
Both are practically strangers here.
Nelson came from Glasgow about
3 months ago and recently married
girl here. But he had been
married before. Gibson came here
from st. Louis and is engaged in
riding and training Patton's fast
horses. Both are classed as bad
"niggers."

himself alone, but also for all
those who have interests in COM
mon with him. If he did speak
for them, there is more Importance
to be attached to what he said
than to any other political action
this year except what the president
did in the matter of the coal strike,
If senator Hanna SAID that he
did not want the job aud wouldn't
have it if he could get it, he spoke
perhaps candidly, but unadvisedly.
He had not carefully examined his
own mind and heart, for it may be
asserted without the fear of sue
cessful contradiction that there is
not citizen of the republic who
would not accept that particular
job if he could get it. True that
Dioclctiau abdicated the imperial
crowd of Rome and that Charles
V. of Spain abdicatcd several
crowns, but they were satiated with
power. They had sounded every
shoal and depth of honor and were
weary of the world, and it will be
noted that neither Dioclctian nor
Charles declined crowns in the
first instance. Nobody ever de-
clined to be president, and nobody
ever will. Some day, perhaps in
the ages yet to be, some president
will immortalize himself by resign
ing, but ne will be rara avis.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Hill
made no suggestion rs to n vice
presidential candidate to run with
Senator Hanna. While | am
neither the spiritual nor legal ad-
wiser of the Republicans in general
or OF Mr.. Hill III particular, per-
chance | can aid them and him to
fill out the ticket. How would
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota
strike themY 1t is generally sus-
pected that Senator Hanna is not
unfriendly or unkind to the trusts.
Indeed, he is looked upon in GER
tain quarters rs their champion.
Van SAINT, on the other hand, is
opposed to trusts in general and to
Mr.. Hills merger in particular.
Yes, the ticket of Hanna and Van
SAINT would add to the gayety of
nations, at least.

George Gilbert, with Indian
blood in his veins, who some weeks

tence in this city charged with
stealing watch guard from "A. G.
Smith, near Benton City. Mrs.
Smith also missed her gold watch

rested on Gilbert as having taken
it also. Gilbert had been working
for Mr.. Smith.
Last Saturday Mrs. Smith insti-

found it in a hollow tree wrapped
in some cotton in the woods near
where Gilbert had been chopping.
Mr.. Smith came to town with

iff James faced Gilbert in Jail with
the story of the finding of the
wrtch Gilbert confessed to the
theft.
Gilbert will likely gaze upon

A farmer advanced new plan
for cribbing corn and oats, par
ticularly damp and soft grain. He
has tried it and proven it to be a
success. 1t is very simple and not
expensive. 1t consists of putting
tiles in the cribs. After layer
or two of corn he places layer of
tiles a few feet apart. They may
be inserted either horizontal or
parallel, with sticks run thru to
keep them in place, The tiles al
low a free circulation of the air
thru the grain and absorb large
amount Of moisture. The plan is
said to be especially adapted for
cribbing of soft corn and his ex-
perilence is that it always dried
out without the least heating.
