An exchange states that La
Toilette has spent the "best ten
years OF his life for the peoples
interest. He has taken no time
to accumulate a fortune. The
paper then goes on to state that
ne should be sent to the Uuited
STAGES senate. Does the editor
mean to infer that he should be
elected senator in order to allow
i'm to accumulate that fortune
which he has thus far failed to
cquire?-Central Wisconsin.

It requires a long time for the
attorney general to decide
whether the primaro law is APP
plicable to the coming election of
an United States senator. The
Milwaukee Free Press says it is
not and we presume this will be
the decision of the attorney gen
eral. The administration forces
seen to be very much afraid of a
law which they claimed they
wanted Central Wisconsin.

The question that seems to be
bothering LaFollette is whether
he is to stand for an election to
the United States senate, or not
He says that il he gets the work
accomplished, that he started
out to do, before the election of
a seuator occurs he may stand
for the election. The people elect
ed him for governor, and when
the papers who were opposed to
him stated that he was looking
for the senatorship he denied the
fact ard said that he would not
accept the position. = Central

THE SENATORSHlP.
Some Reasons Why Quar.es Should
Be Returned.

1t does not take q very keen
observer to see that there is .
rapidly growing sentiment
through the state that the deal
which the state administration is
handling out to Senator Quarles
is a very dirty one. The fact
that the Senator has q mind of
his own, and is fearless in saying
what he believes, and has not
hesitated to express his preference
for the time .honored Republican,
ism of the Lincoln, Grant. McKin
ley, Roosevelt stripes, as repre-
.sented by the Wisconsin Stall
warts, i'll preference to the mushy
hodge podge of numerous isms
as represented by the half-breeds,
has brought down uponhls head
the wrath of the governor anu
his bunch; and the decree has
gone out that he must be pun
ished for refusing to take
thoughts and orders from Madi-
lson. But the people of the state
ON thinking it over are coming
more and more to see that it
would be doing both them and
him a shameful wrong if they
should permit his enemies to beat
him out of the we'll earned en-
.dorsement of a reelection to the
y. S. Senate. Senator Quarles is
just the kind of an official whom
good men" have always said
ought to go into politics. He
has ability and character; in less
than six years he has made for
himself a place of large influences
at the capitol; the tongue of
scandal has never played with
his good name nor has criticism
been spoken against motives. He
has honored his scate and served
the country and is at the thresh
old of great possibilities as a sen
ator; but because he would not
dodge, MOI cringe before self ap
pointed boss, nor keep silence
when gross fraud was attempted
with the party, all sorts Of trick
.erv and bulldozing are invoked
to compass his defeat. But the
party is beginning to indicate
that it will not stand for it. The
mere technical advantages which
the halt breeds secured through
negativecourt decision and which
at the worst recognized the Stall
warts as Republicans and EMIT
led to a place on the ballot, can
not for moment justify any at
tack on Senator Quarles' party
Loyalty or his right to the Gus
tomary endorsement Of a second
term to a good servant. 1t
comes with poor grace for LaFol-
lette, elected to a third official
term by party which he has
done so much to disrupt, to try
and rally his cohorts to prevent
the giving of a second term to
Quarles, who has been one of the
best builders Of the party which
the state has ever known

This is a generation ct fads

share Of III; patronage. Il is cv-
ervwhere apparent and sheep are
in nowise an exception. In years
that have past and gone wehave
noticed breeders running to an
extreme in the way of producing
a certain kind of wool which had
plenty of gum or yolk IN it.
Then fleece. began to be heav,
and weight OF fleece was sought.
Later wrinkles came in tie car
cases of certain breeds and the
more wrinkles the be- ter.
After that came smooth form
OF the same breed of sheep and
breeders bid Tor patronage alone
on this merit. After that a food
of sheep came to this country
which were offered breeders as a
mutton sheep only. AS milton
grew popular these she p in
creased in dcmaad. After Jew
wears breed rs Of mutton sheep
began to look to wool and wool

were not 10 It, but fads crept III
along certa il lines that made a
change in tie contour and APP
pearance Of such sheep All Il csc
may be termed American types,
as m st OF them have been pro-
duced here and are only in de-
mand IN t lis country.
Here y live in country popu-
lated by $4,000, coo people with
the best advantages everywhere
for sheep breeding and wool
gro wing where not more than
51,OOO.OOO head Of sheep are to
be found which is of that import
ance found in this country.
So long as sheep are held up to
view as DOL producers or NUT
not 20 me- :, divorcing these two
p O n ent products, just that
ong will the mass of general
farm RS kept from growing
shee ]. There should be no di-
volcement of wool and mutton.
Both are grown on the same car
cas-, and both should be consid-
cred in the line of profit in THEN
production. A sheep is no more
sheep without wool than it
would be without nation.
We have lived long enough to
see that tariff changes and poll
teal moves have their influences
in the sheep business and we have
their influences in the sheep bust
ness and we have our views
about them. The backward
movement in sheep in 1898 was
simply appalling and We are free
to say that we have scarcely re-
covered from that shock.
We desir to only offer one ar
gument why n ore farmers ought
to keep sheep. We wish each
reader would go to some sheep
man in his vic nifty and ascertain
how profitable the sheep business
has been with him and find ont
some of his methods of manage
ment. 1t is safe to guess that if
loft is the thing sought that he
will want to buy a few sheep as
soon as they can be found. The
best condition in sheep produc-
ton cannot come until the prin-
cipal part of the focks of Ameri-
ca are to be found on farms. The
distribution should be wide and
not confined to one locality.
We look tor change in the
sheep business of this country,
but we do not look forit tocome
like a mighty rushing wind,
but like every wholesome indus
geographically. Many things
are working for a new erl in the
sheep industry cf this country =.

cHlNAMAN GIVES A FEAST.
Invites 100 Yakima People to Wedding
Spread.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Dec. ~
The social event of the season in Yaki-
ma this year was the dinner given by
Jung Toy, a wealthy Chinese hop
American friends, in honor of his re-
cent marriage.
Toy has made a barrel of money in
the last few years in the hop BUSH
ness This year he made more than
usual. With all this cash in hand he
concluded to quit living in single
blessedness and went forth to Portland
to select blushing young woman of
Chinatown of that city. He found one
there to his choice. He came back to
Yakima few days ago and concluded
to play the royal host in modern So
cial style. He had a large number of
invitations issued and sent them out
to the best people of the city.
Plates were laid for about 100 guests
and at the appointed hour Jung was
surprised to see the swell set of the
city marching in on him and shower
ing blessings upon himself and his
bushing bride. His bride was a little
shy and awkward at first in receiving
the guests, but with the aid of her en-
thusiastic husband and some friends
she performed the functions according
to Hoyle.
A feast such as was never before
seen in Yakima was spread at the
Richeleu, and the guests did ample
justice, as well to the wine and cigars
as they did to the rest Of the bill of
fare. The guests presented the couple
with a clock and number of valuable
silver pieces. This pleased Mrs. Toy
to such an extent that she could not
eat A number of speeches were made
and Mr. Toy responded in happy
manner, concluding with the remarks:
L velly happy man an I glad you
come"

SHE LOSES $25o,oo ESTATE.
The Supreme Court Rules Against
Mrs. Clark.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 2S.-Because
she trusted her husband to transact
her business for her, Mrs. Caroline
Clark of ST. Cloud will lose a quarter
of million dollars.

sion of the lower court on an error, the
supreme court, in the case of Thomas
S. Mcclure, appellant, VS.. Nehemiah
P. Clark, ct al, defendant, and Caro-
line E. Clark, respondent, has thrown
Mrs. Clark out of court in the fight
for the large estate, giving it all to
T. Shepherd Mcclure of Minneapolis
son of the applicant, who is dead, and
other heirs.
The case was extremely complicated
n. P. Clark, lumberman and banker
of ST. Cloud was the partner and
brother in-law of the late T. S. Nc
Clure, and administrator of his estate.
In connection with bankruptcy. pro-
ceedings, Clark decided certain proper
ty to Mrs Mcclure to balance his ac
counts. Among these was the famous
Clydsdale farm near st. Cloud one of
the most valuable fancy stock farms
in Minnesota. Mrs. Mcclure died.
leaving her property to her direct
heirs. Her son, T. Shepherd Mcclure
brought action to quiet title to the
property as administrator of the es-
tate. Mrs Clark did not answer and
a default judgment was entered.
Then Mrs. Clark, wife of n. p
Clark, before Judge Baxter produced
a quit claim deed for the property in
volvei, from Mrs. Mcclure maintains
ing she had not answered in court, be-
cause she thought her husband would
attend to it. Although two years had
elapsed she was allowed to come into
court. 1t was in this that the supreme
court holds the lower court erred, and
Mrs Clarks quit claim deed is, &C
cordingly, of no value.

WALTER CAMP TELLS CHlCAG-
DAMS HE THINKS GAME is
ABOUT RIGHT.
Mo Radical Change and Doubtful If
Ten-Yard Rule Will Be
Adopted.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-There will be
no radical football legislation this year,
and it is doubtful if the ten-yard rule
will be adopted.
This is the opinion that can be safely
advanced after hearing a long discus
sion of the game, it's virtues and it's
needs, by Walter Camp of Yale, who
is now visiting in Chicago. Mr.. Camp
was the guest of honor at a luncheon
at the. University club yesterday, at
which Evarts Wrenn of Harvard, the
best known western football official
and warm friend of Mr.. Camp, was
host.
over the cigars and coffee Mr.. Camp
topic ever nearest him. While his
statements We're carefully made and in
many instances qualified, he left no
doubt in the minds of his hearers that
he considers the game as it is today
nearly all right; that he is strongly
opposed to any changes in the rules
which will undermine the principles of
the sport; that he considers team work
and not individual work the most i'm
portant feature of the game, and that
he believes the public is not quite
sure just what it means or wants when
it demands more open play.
That there will be some changes in
the rules this year and that a compro-
mise in response to public opinion will
be made seems assured. But there is
no reason for believing the compro-
mise will provide for an experiment..
The rules committee is not likely to
take any chances of spelling the good
game of today by experimenting, even
for year, with doubtful propositions
and new rules the effects of which
cannot be tolerably foretold
1t is likely the changes will be along
the line of allowing the officials more
power in calling the ball down in the
Scrimmages. Mr.. Camp thinks such
change would vastly benefit the game
and result to great measure of OPEN
ing it up as the laity hope for.

DEVICE WHICH ENABLES OPERA.
TOR TO WRITE AT OTHER
END OF WIRE.
Invention Which is Expected to Revo'
Iutionize the Telegraph Bust
ness of World.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-An invention
which is expected to revolutionize the
telegraph business, and which hos been
in operation on the lines of the West
ern Union Telegraph company for
some weeks was announced today by
J. c. Barclay of that company. Mr..
Barclay is the inventor.
He claims for his invention that it
does away with the receiving opera
tor At each end of the telegraph line
the instrument is attached to a stand
ard typewriter, and the message to be
transmitted is given to a stenographer.
The stenogra pher sits at the sending
typewriter, and as he writes the mes
sage is reproduced, letter for letter, at
the other end on the receiving type
writer.
So perfect is the machine that every
motion of the typewriter under control
of the sender is duplicated by the type
writer at the receiving station. The
spacing, the paragraphing and the
speed are the same The most expert
typewriter cannot write too fast for
the receiver to take the message.
Mr.. Barclay has worked for five
years to perfect the machine. He
said today:
The mechanism of the instrument
is very simple, and it will not cost
great deal to install it. We are not
going to put it in use throughout the
country Immediately. The machine
will only be used in the important
cities where the volume of business
is large and time is valuable.
The machine will be especially ben
eficial to newspapers. Long stories
sent from correspondents can be re-
ceived in the offices written and ready
for the editor. The mechanism will be
installed in the newspaper offices first"
Mr. Barclay has been connected with
the Western Union Telegraph company
for thirty-seven years, coming here
from Chicago. He has originated many
economic and time saving devices.

IRRIGATION SCHEMES CLASH.
Klamath Canal Company and Govern
ment Opposing Each Other.

KLAMATH FALLS, Dec. pa
clash is now on between what is
called the government irrigation COM
mittee and the representatives of the
Klamath Canal company, a local COR
poration. Prior to the government
entering the field, a corporation formed
by California capitalists as the Kla-
math Canal company came to Klamath
construction of tunnel through a
mountain, and a canal by which to
reach the waters of Upper KlamatA
lake. At the same time it secured
contracts with landowners of Kla-
math basin and Poe valley aggregating
about $4,000 acres to be supplied by
the private company.
After this company had spent about
100000 in development work the
government came into the field and
has had it's engineers here ever since.
who have reported this county as the
best place in which to operate in the
United States. Following this, gov
eminent officials from Washington
came and looked over the field and be-
came convinced of the feasibility of
irrigation here
Charged With Grating.
At a big mass meeting already re-
ported in The Journal a committee of
citizens was appointed to act in con-
junction with the government in es-
tablishing federal irrigation in Kla-
math county. In the meantime the
Klamath Canal company has and is
continuing its work. and it's canal and
tunnel are along the identical route
expected to be used by the govern
ment. The sentiment of the people
arose strong for the government be-
cause they thought they could get
cheaper irrigation from that source,
and, considerable bitterness has been
aroused against the local company,
and it is being charged with grating
and getting in the way of government
work generally.
The canal company upon the other
hand maintains that it came upon the
ground first, spent it's money in good
faith, and does not propose to surren-
der it's rights without proper compen-
sation. The fight has narrowed down
to a stubborn one between the COM
mittee and the officers of the company.
The company has sent out warnings
to all the landowners of the county
not to sign further contracts with the
klamath Canal company. and the lat
ter, declaring that it will not be put
out of business, has gone before the
people and offered to furnish them

gineer Newell when here informed :,
people that he did not think govor
ment irrigation would exceed con

Situation Satisfactory.
The klamath Canal company has :,
sued a notice to the people tbot :.
would furnish them water for s15 a.
acre. 1t was then urged that .,
government would not charge anv j.
terest and would give landowners IA
years in which to pay for the perno.
ual right. The private company thou
made the same proposition at SIX a.
acre, and urges that it will do HAITI,
by the people than the government,
from the fact that it will supply anv
person for any number of acres and
give them all the time they desire 70
prepare the land for irrigation. wbilo
the government, it is alleged, will not
permit any one to own more than 1so
acres and requires him to have if all
cleared of sagebrush and ready for
cultivation at once.
While this fight is being waged he
tween the committee and the officers
of the company, the people are look.
ing on with some degree of satisfac-
ton. They feel that with two compet.
ing organizations disputing over the
field, from one or the other they Arc
certain to get water, and with water
such as is promised by both. the fu
ture of Klamath county will be the
brightest OF any county in the Pa
cific northwest.
