II was an unexpected throng that
gathered at the Armory yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock TO listen TO the
continued debate on the settlement OF
the permanent-home question, after
the exciting scenes of the previous al
ternoon, and many were the con1ec-
lures as to the course events would
take as the fight would progress.
During the evening many confer
ences had been held and many argu-
ments made by the delegates to the
congress, but whatever their result
one thing alone was apparent-the IN
tention of the delegation from Salt
Lake to fight to the finish the ques-
ton of the settlement OF the perma-

Reno, New, Aug. 25.-As a result of
the washouts Monday afternoon on
the Tonapah and Carson & Colorado
Railroads the mining towns of Gold
field and Tonapah are threatened
with famine. They are situated in
the mountains and the only method
of securing supplies is from the Ton

received supplies by pack trains, but
since then the towns have grown to
such proportions that the demand
cannot now be met by such methods.

Surrender or Downfall Certain.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. S0.-There is
total paralysis of action on the part of
the government at Asuncion, the capital
of Paraguay, the authorities simply
taking feeble measures of defense and
awaiting developments. Little doubt
is felt now that if pacific solution is
not reached in a few days the first de-
termined move by the revolutionists
will result in the surrender or downfall
of the government.

Texas City Captures r1ining Conven-
tion for 1905.

Portland, Aug. 25.-El PaSo Is
proud of her orator, Zach L. Cobb,
who awoke the echoes and the enthu-
siasm at the meeting of the congress
yesterday afternoon, and won the
unanimous voice of the convention
for the city as the next meeting place
of the congress, proud of the victory,
and proud of the chance to entertain
the convention of 1905.
The first important vote that has
arisen since the convention was call
ed to order was brought up at the af-
ternoon session when T. A. Ricard, of
New York, presented a resolution to
the congress declaring for Ell Paso as
the next meeting place of the organ
ization. 1t was here that Mr.. Cobb,
for the second time during the course
of the convention, showed that he was
the orator of the Southwest. In his
plea for the city he was repeatedly
stopped by applause, and as he finish
ed his eloquent invitation to visit the
Texas city, the resolution to make Ell
Paso the convention city of 1905 was
carried without a dissenting vote.
There are nine directors to be
chosen by the congress, which board
is composed of the president and
eight vice presidents. These vice
presidents are to be scattered over
the country as generally as possible,
and at the present time there are but
three or four men who are mentioned
for the respective Offices.
J. H. Richards, the present presi-
dent, will be the man to fill the exec
utive Office for the next year, as the
delegates are all in favor of his re-
election, and as there is no one who
will come forward to announce him
self as a candidate for the Office.

Shade for the Swine.


Shade for swine is quite AZ neces-
sary as for other animals, and when
one has a tree or two in the pasture
the question Of shade is readily set
tied. If there are no trees plant three
or four, and while they are growing
use portable houses for shade, making
them with a sill set on runners and
with q ring set in the front sill 50
that a horse may be attached and the
house moved when necessary. These
houses may be made of any cheap
material and the roof arranged so that
a portion Of 1t may consist OF tree
limbs laid over the boards set Tar
apart. The cost need not be great
and the results Will pay for the time
and labor spent.

Hard Flowing.

When the plow is hard to hold, it IN
safe to say that it is hard work for the
teams to draw 1t. This may be be-
cause Of roots or stones, in which case
the cause is obvious, but If not, some
thing else is wrong, and the cause
should be found and the trouble RENE
died. It would be cheaper to get new
plow than to wear out plowmen and
team with a plow in poor condition.
But as often as not the trouble arises
from the line of draft not being right.
It would seem that any farmer should
know If his plow "runs her nose into
the ground" so that he found he had
to bear his weight on the handles, or
pulled out so that he had to lift it on
to keep it in. whether it took too wide
a furrow or too narrow a one, and
should know how to remedy it, yet We
have known a farm hand to work all
day with a plew when he was putting
out more strength every hour than he
would have used in days work with
the same plow had he "hitched" the
team properly.-American Cultivator.

Strawberry Plantinx.

Most fruit growers are familiar with
the pot-grown strawberry plants Offer
ed by nurserymen for setting in the
summer, says the Indianapolis News.
AS rule such plants are too expen-
s1ve to set in any considerable num-
Der, but this Is an ideal way to OBJ
tain plants of new sorts for testing;
though much more costly than the lay
er plants one will get from them a
crop, next summer, Of sufficient size to
determine the desirability of the va
riety. Then, too, it is possible to in
crease ones own plantation by taking
from the old beds the new plants and
setting them out in the new beds any
time this month. To do this with the
best results. cut the runner which con-
meets the new plant with the parent,
then week later. just after rain.
dig up the young plant with liberal
amount of soil attached to the roots
and set 1t with the soil on the roots
In the new bed.
With care not a plant will be lost
in the transplanting and these plants
will give one crop of berries next sum-
mer nearly equal to those from year
old-set plants. The precaution to take
is to have the lump of soil aunere to
the roots so that the growth of the
young plant will not be materially
disturbed by the transplanting. Where
but a few hundred plants are to BE-
reset one can easily supply the water
to the s0il necessary to make the soil
stick to the roots.

There has as yet been but one serious
objection to the low-headed tree, and
that the trouble in cultivatng the soil

there are several new implements on
