ter four states as the republican party
has in the former group. If these
propositions be true Mr. Cortelyou's
case fails.
That Mr.. Cortelyou places New
York, New Jersey and West Virginia
in the doubtful list is extremely signifi-
cant. The purpose Of his argument
is to prove that the republicans can
win without them land thus he virtual
ly comedies them. AS a matter of fact
New York mas, in the opinion of repub-
licans generally, rested securely in the
democratic column for some time. With
it goes New Jersey; while West Virgin
ia is regarded as equally secure.
!. Conceding New York, New Jersey
and West Virginia, the republican par
ty cannot win without Nevada, Con-
necticut, Maryland and Wisconsin. The
following division of states, which
upon the basis of the above figures, re-
flutes Mr.. Cortelyou's implied conten-
TONS will be found more nearly to ac-
cord with all the authorities-repub-
lican, democratic and independent

probabilities:

SCHEME NOT ABANDONED
ENGINEER WHISTLER is STILL
WORKING ON THE BUTTER
CREEK SCHEME.
Men of the Reclamation Service Are
Still in Field Prospecting for
Reservoir Site.
Special to statesman,

Special to statesman,
PENDLETON, Aug. 13.-AccOrding
to John T. Whistler, engineer in charge
Of the reclamation service in Oregon,
the Butter creek irrigation scheme has
not been entirely abandoned by the
government.
In an interview regarding the subject
Engineer Whistler said:
The Umatilla reclamation project
has not been abandoned by any means.
A recOgniZance party of four men is
at work all the time and will be in the
field all summer doing the work that
is necessarily preliminary to all I'M
dertakings of the kind anywhere.
These men are out with pack horses,
thoroughly exploring the territory in
Morrow and Umatilla counties, where
yet be located. These men take baro-
metrical observation, ascertain levels.
etc.
whether these mems work will re-
suit in a reservoir being located, is
not. No man can yet tell. At the
same time, it is only fair to state that
the probabilities are strongly against
the location of a reservoir anywhere in
the so called Butter creek country.
This is not saying that the territory is
actually and definitely abandoned, be-
cause it is not. If it We're, the recog-
nizance party spoken of would not be
a work. but would be taken out of the
field.
However, it does not now appear
that suitable reservoir site can be
found in that country. The first site,
which was eight miles directly south
of Coyote, was abandoned because the
test pits disclosed that it was under
laid with a bed of coarse sand from
two or three to so feet in depth, which
wholly disqualified it for the purpose
intended.
This site was an ideal one so far
as levels, location and relation to the
surrounding country We're concerned,
and contained approximately 10 square
miles. 1t lay in the extreme eastern
edge Of Morrow county, and had it had
the right kind of a substratum would
have been fed from the Umatilla
river.
Should the recognizance work now
in progress result in the location of
reservoir site that is really available.
which is of course possible even if I'M
by the government, when funds become
available. 1t would take it's turn after
call now.
These facts being considered, it
may be that Mr.. Newell said to his
Walla Walla interviewers that nothing
will or can be done with the Umatilla
county project until the Malheur pro-
ject which has precedence, is further
advanced
1T is too bad that many homestead
ers have located in the Butter creek
country on the strength of the prelim-
mary work done there and against my
urgent advice and that of others.
Many of them have invested from
small sums up to $1,000. and are still
waiting patiently for the highly i'm
probable to happen

pALOTSE. TAXPAYERS PROTEST.

Because the commissioners of Whit
man county cut the assessed valuation
of main line railway trackage from
$4,000 a mile to $5S0S was no reason
why the commissioners of this county
should make a similar cut. The COM
missioners of Whitman county We're
named by the railroad faction of the
county headed by J. n. Pickrell, the
same gang that fought Governor Nc
Bride and a railway commission. This
year the Pickrell faction was badly
beaten at the primaries and in the
convention, but its adherents are still
holding possession of the court house
and will do SO until the new officers to
be elected in November shall be in
stalled. 1t is. therefore, plain that it
was not a Mcbride board of commis-
sioners that reduced the railroad as
sessment. but a board subservient to
the railroad lobby and with itching
palms for free passes and other faVOrS.
The action of the Whitman county
commissioners has provoked Il storm of
Indignation among the Palouse taXpay-
ers. ID. +. Staley, mayor of Pullman,
said in an interview on the subject:
They claim that the railroads We're
assessed higher in proportion than 9TH
or property. Take farm lands. for in
stance. Place the value on these lands
at $40 per acre. which is a high, cash
valuation. l understand the farm lands
are assessed at $40 per acre, which is
% per cent of their highest cash value
Putting the railroads at $4,000 pei
mile, the rate fixed by the county as

cent of the actual cash value OF the

ALFALFA FOR THE HOGS.
Good for Building Up the Frame Of
Animals, But Should Be Fed
with Discretion.

There is no doubt that alfalfa is one
OF the best foods that can be raised
for hogs. The cattle man has come to
appreciate the value of alfalfa, and
wherever he has been able to raise al
falfa he has done so. He has recog-
nized it as a cheap source of protein
The hog raiser on the other hand is COM
ing to realize only slowly that the hog
needs protein at all. He has come to
think of the hog as an animal that needs
food that will make fat, and, as a re-
suit, we see little alfalfa growing on
the farm of the man that makes hog
raising one of the principal features of
his agriculture.
Alfalfa can be fed in the same way
as clover is fed, with the exception
that it is not so readily pastured. AL
falfa may be pastured so close that it
will only slowly revive from such treat
ment, while clover can be pastured close
and still come up quickly. But alfalfa
is good green food and is good when
dry, If it is cut up and mixed with soft
food or steamed
1t has been charged that too much
alfalfa makes soft pork, but this is
the case only when the hogs are not
properly finished on grain. No one be-
lieves that feed like alfalfa should be
fed almost exclusively. 1t is good thing
to build up the frame of the animals;
but it does not provide enough car
bohydrates TO make it serve the double
purpose Of developed and a finisher-

TAR IN POULTRY HOUSES.
It Is Very Valuable in Many Ways,
But More Especially as Yer
min Exterminator.

Poultry breeders seem to have failed
to discover the value of tar. 1t is
very useful and valuable in many ways.
Some breeders tar their poultry yard
fences in preference to whitewashing
them, says the Poultry World, though
we do not like to see it done, for it gives
the surroundings such gloomy, for
bidding look. 1t undoubtedly con-
tributes largely to the durability OF the
wood, protecting it from the ravages
Of storm and time. It is in the poultry
house, however, that the value Of tar
is the greatest, for it conduces greatly
toward healthfulness. When that
scourge of the poultryman. cholera,
makes It's appearance. we would advise,
first, a thorough cleaning of the house;
next. q generous application of Carolina
tar on all the joints, cracks and crevices
Of the inside Of the building, and then
plenty of fresh whitewash properly ap-
piled. The tar absorbs or drives away
the faint of disease, and makes the
PREMISES wholesome The smell is not
offensive; in fact, many people like it,
and it is directly opposite to unhealthy.
To vermin, lice, etc. the smell OF tar
is very repulsive, and but few will re-
main after you have tarred the cracks.
etc A friend of ours was once troubled
with chicken cholera, and by adopting
the above in connection with removing
affected fowls, he soon put stop to
the ravages. A small lump OF tar IN the
drinking water supplied to the fowl will
he found beneficial, provided 1t is the
Carolina tar, which is very different
from other kinds.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is . thriv'

thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is real brick
hotel and is regarded by the perma nent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it il
known as The Hotel"
So it was that when = faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story OF
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the simile of the town Of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was SO impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi
val came and the superintendent OF the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:

but the Clifford house was full

RAISE YOUR OWN HONEY.
No Farm Need or Should Be Without
Few Well Cared-F For Hives
Of Bees.

There is no reason why farmers
should not handle their bees along
profitable lines, even If they have but a
few colonies. Bees, as kept On the farm
"A few colonies here and there, scat
tered in different localities--ordinarily
do the best business. for they are not
overstocked as they are frequently in
large apiaries. Almost double the
amount of honey can be obtained from
colony thus situated, and bee-keep-
ing, as rule, Is much more profitable
II the bees are in proper shape to do
good work. The greatest mistake
farmers make, is that of limiting the
surplus boxes. thus not furnishing the
bees with enough surplus capacity.
The bees fill this limited space with
honey in few days at the beginning
OF the honey season and afterwards
turn their attention to swarming, and
several sWarms will be the result in
stead of large honey yield. Farmers.
IN connection with their other work,
might as we'll reap hundreds of pounds
or the finest honey instead Of obtain
Ing but a few pounds, if they would
only give the bees plenty of storage
room, and promptly take the honey
away as soon as completed. The rule
among small bee-keepers is to give but
a small surplus capacity in the spring.
and let this remain all summer to be
taken on in the fall, supposing that it
is an all summers job for the bees,
when In most cases this space is filled
In week or two and allowed to re-
main in the hive all summer, which
reduces it to poor grade of honey as
well as small amount. Hundreds of
pounds OF f1rst-class honey might have
been obtained by giving larger Ca
paclty, and removing the honey as fast
as stored and completed. Some local
tiles are better than others, and some
seasons are better than other seasons,
but it is never mistake any season
to thus provide for the most at all
times and under all conditions. BY a
little forethought and work on the
part of the average farmer and fruit
grower, he could easily secure all the
honey necessary for his own use, and
some to sell also-Midland Farmer.
