to them. He was too busy attending
TO the work OF the government.
"The killing of Won Plehve. in my
opinion was not due to personal dis

against the manner i'm which the office
of the minister Of the interior is con-
Quoted. His predecessor in office was
assassinated in a similar way.
THE revolutionists evidently thought
it would he an opportune time TO dis

none too kind to Won Plehve. AS a
matter of fact, Won Plehve helped
American newspapers. He removed
the censorship from the correspond

him at the beginning of the war, he
agreed to let the American correspond

American newspaper readers get the

ABOUT COMB BUILDING.

1t Does Not Pay to Let Bees Make
Their Own Foundation.
The man who allows his bees to build
their own foundation is merely wasting
the time of the bees. Sometimes it
seems like spending a great deal of
money that might be saved to buy
foundation, but it is really economical
to do SO. Honey comb is made of
practically pure wax. and this is, in
fact, the fat of the bees. It is un+ler the
scales of the abdomen and may be seen
there if the bee is put under glass of
very ordinary magnifying power. This
wax is pulled from it's place by the claws
of the bees and worked into comb, and
this operation takes time that is lost
when the colony might be storing nectar
if the foundation has been furnished.
No man has been able to make founda-
ton that is as soft and pliable as the
comb the bees make, but pretty fair
imitation is made that answers all prac-
tioal purposes.
When honey comb is first made it is,
as every one knows, sweet and perfectly
palatable but as soon as brood begins to
be grown in it, each embryo 'reaves y
thin cocoon that is never removed, and
the cell becomes smaller and the comb
darker with each succeeding brood
katched in it. This makes the bees
grow smaller and smaller, and such
comb should be cut out and melted down
for sale before it gets too dark to find
a place to keep them.
Where sections are used the comb is,
of course, removed often and sold, and
here is where the most profitable use of
foundation comes in.-Journal of Agri-
culture.

WITH THE BUSY BEES.

In hiving a swarm make sure that
the queen is inside the hive.
A worker grub can be transformed in
to a queen when it is five or six days
old.
In breeding queens artiicially it is
important to get good cells for brood of
the right age.
An absolute requisite of successful
beekeeping is a prompt attention to all
of its varied duties.
If colony has a young queen and is
strong in numbers it will curry out the
eggs and moths as fast as hatched.
Bees when building comb begin at
the top and hang in heavy clusters to
the comb until they complete it.
Never allow a swarm of bees to re-
main out long after settling. Hive
them a. soon as possible and lessen the
risk Of loss.
In each family of bees there are three
distinct kinds, which differ in form,
color, structure, size, habits and func-
ton.
The activity of queens il governed
largely by the activity of the workers.
While the workers are storing honey
she will lay sparingly. She is stimulat-
ed to lay when all is life and activity
in the hive--St. Louis Republic.

are confined, but cannot break the eggs

TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS,

The friends of Mr.. Herman1
prior to the time oi o,ding the
conventions in Benton County dis
cussed his Candidacy. They rec
ognized that MIR. H iris has some
friends here, but the lends of
Hermann decided got TO make
any coatst before tie oopven-
tions were hela, hut after 'he del
epates were elected for bo'h sid s
to consult toe ether and select a
divided delegation which would
as nearly as possible represent
the two sentiments existing in
the county. Two tickets, how
ever, were run III open Conven
ton with the result that it is said
now that the Benton County dele
gates will go to whichever devel-
ops the most strength as bt t vee:
Mr. Hermann and Mr.. Harris.
This statement is made because
from tue comments made bv so.n-
newspapers at distance it NAV
appear to the minds O. rome t'7at
the county is against Mr.. llci-
mann. But the contrary is the
case. It is believed by the tI1enos
of Mr.. Hermann that if it were
put to a test vote by the people OF
BentoA County between Mr.. Her
mann and Mr.. Harris as to who
should be the candidate for Con-
gress that Mr.. Hermann would
get more votes than any other
man, not but what they regard
Mr.. Harris a very nice and able
gentleman, and equally so is NJ.
Hermann, besides Mr.. Hermann's
long and favorable experience in
serving the state in Congress car
sies a weight with it that causes
many of the people in Benton
Comfy 10 decide in favor of Mr..
Hermann.
The move which started Mr..
Hermann's first nomination be-
gan in Benton County. beca'.se
at that time the Portland o .egoni-
an was Indicating that Yaqui la
Bay was of no more ilnport4nce
than a mud hole or a frog pond,
and 1t became necessary to make
such changes for Congressman
that the Oregonian's influence
could not fully overshadow the
actions of our Congressman. The
result was that the Oregonian has
fought Mr.. Hermann from ST"
to finish from the first day his
name was mentioned for the first
nomination Neve ~theless, of
the large appropriations for va
quina Bay were obtained while
Mr.. Hermann was in Congress,
and largely through his able and
genial influence. These results
acquired through Mr.. Hermann's
efforts, considered with the otl.er
fact that Yaquina Bay has receiv-
ed but little recognition since
Mr.. Hermann's term was SUPER
sedcd by others have been the
gr. at a, guments II the minds of
the people who have upperlnost
in their thoughts the improve
ment of Yaquina Bay. After the
back setwhich Congress has given
Yaquina Bay it must be fully
recognized that it is now very
difficult matter to start favorable
action in Congress again; yet M.
Hermann understands all Of the
details how to put forth the move
ment when the proper time oc-
ours and he undoubtedly should
be renominated.

other bills. Especially is this true of their
agents who cart their pianos around from
town to town. creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about sl0 on aipiano by buying in large carload

above expenses? We are in position to sell

people are finding it out. Beware of spec
No firm can Sell goods at wholesale prices to

always make profit on our pianos and never
give anyone special price, or sell to, you for
