Congress Will Investigate
POstOffIce Department

After long and tedious discussion
in both houses of congress, together
with close examination Of each item,
the postotfice appropriation bill has
passed the senate. The democrats Of
fered an amendment providing for a
cOmDIittcc CT senators to Investigate
the department. To this end Senators
Teller and German made vigorous
speeches which were hutly answered
by Senators Lodge, Aldrich and Hop
kins. There was sharp passage at
arms between Senators Teller and Hop
kins which came near being a scandal.
Each undertook to call in question the
others record. Finally Senator Lodge,
who had the bill in charge. announced
that If there was to be an investigation
it would come when the republicans
got ready for it, and in such manner rs
they should determine. 1t is now eX-
pected that the senate committee on
postUliices may be instructed to inves-
tigatc the department during the sum
mer, to report at the next session OF
congress. This will stop the howl and
clamor Of the democrats, a?d prevent
them from asserting on the stump that
the republicans are afraid to permit an
Investigation.

DIskin1 of Alfalfa.

Disking of alfalfa fields in early
spring is becoming more popular each
season. The yield OF hay from the
frs. crop is usually increased by the
narrowing of the field and it is also
made somewhat earlier. When q crop
of seed on alfalfa land is desired, disk
ing is OF special Importance. In the
western portion OF this state and in
Utah the general practice is to furrow
out the field for irrigation each spring
a plow made for the purpose with two
very stout shOvels and mounted on
wheels is used, making small burrows
about two feet apart which help to
lead the water across the field in much
the sams manner as is done in sugar
beet irrigation. Usually no attempt
is made to prevent flooding but the
work can be accomplished more rapid
ly and with less water than by the
simple flooding process ana the alfalfa
is undoubtedly benefited considerably
by having the plants somewhat thin
ned by the furrowing which also serves
as sort OF cultivation. In old fields
that have never been disked or fur.
rowed, it would be of great benefit to
harrow and then furrow out in the
| spring before growth begins. If the
grolnd had been properly corrugated
before seeding, this furrowing-Ou
would not be necessary for several
| years.-Field and Farm

Country Prosperous Under
Republican Administratit

Whether prosperity is due partly to
natural causes and partly to the wise
public policy OF the republican party,
it is a fact that this country is now in
the front rank OF producing nations,
aud if this continues, there must be in
the near future vast expansion Of our
commerce. TO construct the Panama
canal and provide for large navy,
without corresponding merchant
marine to foster and protect, would be
open door FOR our surplus products, and
if the wishes Of the administration are
realized. this will be peacefully obtain
ed With President Roosevelt for d
leader, the republican party and the
country will move on to a higher plane
of glory, power and comfort for all the
people. 1t is fortunate at this juno,
ture, that Notwithstanding the loss of
such eminent leaders during the past
three or four years as Mckinley, Reed
and Hanna, there still remain such
men Us the president, Secretary Hay
and Secretary Taft, and many senators
OF both parties, who are honest, able
and devoted To the public welfare. The
masses OF oar citizens already know
who and what they want and are moi
waiting to be told what they shall be
lieve by the convention which is 81
soon to meet in Chicago. That body
of representative men will simply rati
fy and confirm the wishes Of the peo
ule already EXPRESSED.

Colorado Republicans United.

The f4ctlOnll strife which has dlyid.
ed the republican party OF Colorado
for nearly year, and which for time
threatened to cause serious disrup-
tiou of the party, has finally been laid
aside and the party is again working
iu perfect harmony. This cDnsulnma-
lI1l-a consummation devoutly wished
.or by every 10y. member of the party
vas effected last Tuesday at the
county convention in Denver. Al this
convention John W. Springer, stall
wart party man and an ideal candi-
date, was nominated for mayor OF
Denver upon straight republican
ticket. The other city officers were
distributed fairly among persons who
had been allied with one or the other
of the two factions, the whole ticket
being an excellent one, and one that
will surely win in the municipal cleo
tion May II.
As result of the reunion Of the
Wolcott and antiW C o I
factions OF the republican party,
Governor Peabody will be renominat-
ed and reelected this fall: the party
will present united front to the com
mon enemy and glorious victory will
perch upon her standard.
