All remember the revamping Of the
old Mast cartoons of Tweed that Ho
mer Davenport hurled at him for -four
years or more. They did not drive
Hanna out Of public life, but virtu.
ally drove Davenport out of that line
Of cartoonlng.
Many OF the leading Republicans Of
the nation came to look upon Hanna
in an entirely different light when they
became personally acquainted with
him. Represented as a corporation
man, he went among the farmers Of
Nebraska and Dakota and showed
them he was a friend.
He came to occupy the unique posi-.
tion politically, of having the conf.
dence Of the capital of the country
and being trusted almost implicitly by
the laboring classes.
II he could have been spared he
would have accomplished great
work for this nation, as he would have
been the means, in a political sense,
of bringing capital and labor closer
together and to the realization of the
importance of cooperation.
He had devoted himself to accom-.
pllshment of that grand result Of late
years more than he had to politics,
and had doubtless decided to conse.
crate the remainder of his life to that
purpose.
Who can doubt that he would have
accomplished very much for the bene.

great misfortune, and his life has
taught the nation a lesson that It will

And thinking so showed it to

There Is not practical musical in
strument dealer or business man IA
millar with the closing out receiver
ship who will say that the proper
course has been pursued in collecting
these piano and organ notes. We will
waive discussion OF the disposition of
real estate and other assets, but give
a few instances Of what has been
done, or what Is said to have been
done in the collection Of musical in.
strument notes.
In some cases the collections were
put in the hands of persons who again
employed others to do the work. and
both were paid, as in the case Of mu
sical instruments at Portland looked
after by Jen Myers. In Coos county
the notes were given for collection to
a musical instrument dealer who was
not interested in getting them cashed
but rather In selling his own instru.
ments in place of those sold for the
notes, but not yet paid.
In the case Of one Of the preferred
creditors, the musical instrument
notes were turned over to the receiver
and pushed In the same manner as the
Others were-and the push consisted
mainly In typewrtten request to
call and pay-and they were not paid
and this creditor took them out Of the
receivers hands and sent word by an
attorney II they were not paid suit
would be brought. and they were all
paid mp promptly. and one OF them
was against a church In this city.
Il is stated by business people that
three Instruments are to be disposed
OF az present Two private bids have
been recelyed--oue bid for S2oO and
one bid for 1920. one dealer SAYS the
three instruments ought TO bring $3.50.
OF course this is an street talk. but
by fairly good men, aud Il can only
be said II they would fetch 5000 or
$3.50 the creditors ought to get il. The
Journal knows one musical instrument
dealer who would like 90 bid on them
and one young business man who
wants TO buy plano has not had a
chance TO bid
The Journal does not state those |
matters as mere faultAndiug with the
receiver, and d Is more than likely
that those statements have not been |
made TO him. But Il is fair to ask |
has he advertised these three lnstru |

The federal government has at last
got move on and will push one of the
largest irrigation projects in the state
of Washington. The lands selected for
the work are in the Palouse country,
north and eastoof Pasco, and the num-
Der of acres to be reclaimed will be
anywhere from $4,000 to 100000. The
sum of $1,500,000 has been set aside
from the reclamation fund for the pur-
pose, and the government estimates
that the expense will average $25 per
acre to put the lands in such condition
as will produce good crops. The wat
ers of the Snake river are to be util-
lied. Beside this project the govern
ment is seriously considering the pro-
ject of retaining some two million
acres of land in the Big Bend country,
but for various reasons the work will
not be undertaken for some time to
come. In taking up the Palouse pro-
ject the government places itself under
no obligation to carry out the Big Bend
project.

firm gives the most striking example In
growth that can be obtained by push
and energy. From a very small be-
ginning in 1889 the business OF the
firm has grown to mammoth proper
lions and today the concern handles
the largest grain and hay business In
this part of the country, as well as
having a large and rapidly growing
business in seeds of all kinds and
creamery and dairy supplies. They
own the North Coast flour mills, and
Mr.. Lilly recently secured an interest
in the old Ellensberg City mills for
his firm. The business done by the
firm in exports of products and fish
to the Orient is large, and they also
have a share in the government for
age contracts. The warehouse the
firm occupies was built expressly for
them and is the largest warehouse I'M
der a single roof in Seattle. Their
main building is of brick, three stor-
les, and covers an area of 125x2O0 feet.
Mr.. Lilly of whom a good likeness
is given in The Ranch, came to Seattle
from Champagne, ILL.,, just before the
great fire of 1889. He had unbounded
faith in the future growth of the city
and state and decided to cast his lot
here permanently. Mr.. Bogardus was
an old friend and partner in Cham
payne and he came to Seattle shortly
after Mr.. Lilly arrived and together

When Moses Lake Broke Loose.

The floods in the Big Bend and
other sections of the state this spring
caused more or less damage to bridges
and ranch property, but no section
carries the interest that does the
Moses lake section. In this part of the
state there occurred change that will
more than likely be lasting. The
bursting of the natural dam at the
south end of the lake and the subse-
uuent cutting of the channel has left
broad creek where none before existed,
and the washing of the sand first and
the clay after has resulted in the max
ing of an area of the finest alfalfa
loan in the state. By this freak OF
nature Thomas S. Blyth, owner OF
large areas of land and big herds of
cattle in the Moses lake country OBJ
tains some 400 acres of fine soil that
was formerly considered worthless.
He says it is worth about fifty dollars
an acre now and will raise fine crops
of alfalfa, being so situated that irrlga-
ton is easy.
Some idea of the immense volume OF
water that escaped from Moses lake
may be gotten from the following fig
ures: The lake is now, by recent meas
urement, twelve feet lower than ever
before, and before the break it was
about fifteen feet higher than it had
ever been known to be. The lake is
eighteen miles long and two and one
quarter miles wide in the widest place.
1t is thought that one and one-half
miles would be the average width for
the entire eighteen miles of length
The flood thus consisted of almost four
million cubic feet of water.
In the break this flood cut a channel
through the sand dunes as wide as the
Wenatchee river, and left the sloping
banks of the lake completely dry from
it's former head for five miles toward
it's southern end. 1t is possible that in
the cutting which has occurred and
which may ensue the natural dyke at
the southern end will be flooded out
entirely, in which event Moses lake
would go entirely dry. Should this
occur, one of the most remarkable
hunting spots in the northwest, a veri
table paradise for sportsmen, would
exist no more.
Mr.. Blyth says that when the break
came there were two distinct tidal
waves, the first fourteen feet in height
and the second about six feet high
One moment Crab creek, not wider
than a man could step across, was
sluggishly crawling over it's sandy bot
tom to the Columbia river; the next
it. was a roaring river, a mile wide.
This new river is now eight miles long
Mr. Blyth's loss was confined to
single horse, and he says this was
cheap enough for four hundred acres
of fine alfalfa land.

disposition of all our do
mesticated live stock, but
the rule is that only in
very few instances does
the shepherd give any at
tention or study to this
fact. Thus it is that a
flock which has been inter-
bred for several or many
years, skillfully, and with
a continuous selection Of
the best, not for appear
ance only, but for cOnstitu-
ton, hardness and general
stamina, is always imprOv-
ing in all respects, in pro-
Efficacy, desirable form,
increase of weight, quality
and quantity of fleece, with
all the rest which goes to
make a profitable sheep in
every way. Instances of
all this are quite common,
mostly so, however, in En-
glish and German f1ocks.
But American shepherds
cannot very easily intro
duce this disposition into
their f1Ocks by the mere in
PRODUCTION of an imported
ram, not even from the
choicest fiOcks. AS the
farmer fertilizes the soil,
but at the same time sows
the best seed he can pro-
cure, so must the shepherd
improve his flock by the
very best culture of the
ewes and the Improvement
of these by due feeding and
care and selection of the
best of them to mate with
the best selected rams he
can procure. The ram may
be half the flock or a very
small part of it, in due pro-
portion to the good cul-
ture of the ewes. The
ewes will tell their story,
each one for itself, but
only when it has some
thing to tell. 1t is the bus
mess of the bree der to be
sure that it has a story to
tell. The story of some
fiocks we know of is that
the fleece has been in
creased one fifth by culture
of ewes, and that in others
the crop of lambs has been
brought up to twice the
number of ewes in the
space of ten years of care
