intend to irrigate Kittitas valley, but
that their sole purpose is to attempt
to control the lake north of Ellensburg,
so as to compel all future canals there
and at Yakima to pay tribute to them.
The commissioner thinks they will fail
in this. His idea is that the state
shall control the impounded water for
the benefit of the whole valley of the
Yakima and that this shall be accom-
plished by the construction of works
to be paid for from the proceeds of the
sale of the Carey act lands which will
aggregate in the Yakima valley over
100000.

The controversy between the people
in North Yakima who favor the Whit
son high line canal scheme and those
who favor the reclamation of the land
under the Carey act by the Washing
ton Irrigation Company was given
some fuel the other day when State
Land Commissioner Calvert was in
the Kittitas valley. Mr.. Calvert has
no hesitancy in saying that, in his
opinion, the Whitson people do not

The st. Louis fair commission of this
state announces most positively that
it will not go before the next legisla-
ture with deficit-in other words,
that it means to keep it's expenditures
within the total of $4,000 appropri-
ated to it's uses. This is the first in
stance we have ever heard of any
like commission having such ambi-
tions, and we are of the opinion that
the commission itself should be placed
on exhibition. They are all exception
ally good looking men, and would be
splendid advertisement for our model
state government.

Boys and girls on the farm who have
little time at their disposal should
write The Ranch for instructions about
securing subscriptions among their
neighbors. 1t will cost them nothing
to start and there is lots of money in
it for the hustlers.

The Houston (Texas) Post asks:
"Can We not arrange for fight to a

1t is a cold day when there is moth
ing new developing in the cooperative
district of Sunnyside. The latest they
have taken up is the growing of eel

tract of ground in the district is being
urged to set aside a piece of ground
for celery and asparagus.

In our Special Column appears an
advertisement for an experienced man

and upland, part of which is in Guilt
walton and the owner desiring to bring
the balance into an improved state.
The man for the place must be able
to handle livestock, including one thou
sand Angora goats, and must conduct
a large dairy, as well as directing gen.
eral farming operations. Complete par

Rural free delivery is becoming uni
versal throughout the state and in the
northwest generally. Whatever tends
to make the system simpler or better
understood is welcomed with open
arms by the patrons. In the newer
sections, where routes have but recent
ly been established, there has to be
much explaining on the part OF the
carrier before each patron understands
fully what should be done and what
not to do. The Ranch has come into
possession of little pamphlet, COM

The Sunday Seattle Times of Febru-
ary 7th was a most valuable addition
to the statistical and industrial data
of Seattle and the state. 1t consisted
of 100 pages and was finely illustrated
and printed in colors. 1t contains
voluminous matter regarding the in
dustrial and building progress of the
city in particular and the state in

Through the courtesy of the publish
er of the Rural Northwest, of Port
land, The Ranch is enabled to present
in this issue good likeness of Hon.
e. L. Smith, the new president of the
Northwest Fruitgrowers' Association,
and of Mr.. Charles J. Sinsel, the new
secre tary, whose home is at Boise,
Idaho, where he is engaged in horti-
cultural pursuits. President Smith,
who has extensive horticultural inter-
ests at Hood River, Oregon, is the Sec
ond man in the history of the associ-
alton to hold the important position
of president. He succeeds Mr. N. g..
Blalock, of Walla Walla, who has been
president since the organization came
into being. Mr.. Blalock expressed his
desire to retire from the position, and
Mr. Smith was unanimously elected.
Under his guidance the association will
continue to prosper and to extend its
good work throughout the Northwest.
The following item reproduced
from the Spokane Spokesman-Review
is a bit of news that will be read with
interest by the fruit growers OF this
state:

for the Republican nomination for governor,
entertained a number of the visiting county
fruit inspectors, returning from Pullman, at
his apartments in the Ridpath hotel. last
evening Politics was among the subjects
discussed, and refreshments were served"
Thus we have injected new and
startling feature into the coming cam
paign. The nimble mind of Col Rid
path has been the first to grasp the
fact that to dine and wine and make
friends of those county inspectors
would be a great political coup, CIV
ing him the advantage of the services
of an exceptionally active and able
galaxy of supporters, already draw
ing good salaries, with all expenses
paid 1t is rumored that part OF this
compact is that Prof. Brown, of King
county, is to be nominated on the
ticket for the position of lieutenant
governor UP to the hour OF going
to press he had not announced his
decision, but we understood he is busy
preparing his speech of acceptance.

Raps the Free Seed Bugaboo.

To Congressman Shepherd, of Texas
are due the thanks of the people of
the country for his determined fight
against the present pernicious system
of the free distribution by the govern
ment of seeds that are neither fresh
nor reliable. When the agricultural
appropriation bill came up for passage
the other day Representative Shep-
herd did his best to have the bill
amended so as to provide for the dis
tribution of new and untried seeds,
instead of perpetuating the present
system. He characterized the present
plan as a farce and said: If the con-
gressional comedy continues, congress
men will no longer be statesmen, but
seedsmen!" Although he was unsuc-
cessful in having his amendment in
corporated in the bill, he opened the
way for further discussions OF this
practice of free seed distribution and
we may hopefully look forward to an
Improvement in the system, where the
farmers will get good seeds in limited
quantity and the seed houses not have
to compete with Uncle Sam.

There are many requisites that go
to make good cream and to make sue
cessful dairying. From experience
and observation every progressive
dairyman says cleanliness heads the
list; clean place for the cows to be
MIXED, clean feed lots and sheds,
good ventilation in the milking stable,
clean strainers and cloths, pals and
separators. This is starter, and you
can now consider yourself on the road
to clean, pure milk and cream.

DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS
New York, Jersey. Delaware, Maryland,
West Nirpinia Certain For Parker

New York, Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia Certain For Parker.
New York, Oct. PA statement
was given out by the Democratic ma
tional committee after a consultation
between Thomas Taggart. chairman;
William f. Sheehan, chairman of the
executive committee, and Delaney
Nicoll, vice chairman for the east. 1t
says:
I'VE have made no formal statement
concerning the political situation be-
fore this time, because the materials
upon which alone correct Judgment
could be formed were not at hand.
"Our efforts during the past three
months have been devoted to harmon
izing of the party in the states hitherto
considered doubtful by reason OF for
mer dissensions. That work is now
finished, and 1t is possible for the first
time to reach a conclusion based upon
systematic canvass, which can never
be satisfactorily made until after or
ganization is completed and the cam
paign has well progressed.
"Our canvass shows that we shall
certainly carry by good majorities the
states of New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Maryland, Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana, and that in ad-
S&sssa 20 tAess electoral votes we shall
ssTe Sne majority, II not all, OF the
electoral votes of the Rocky Mountain
states. 1t is impossible at this juncture
to predict the outcome in Wisconsin.

moment our canvass there Is imper-

cate an unmistakable Republican de-

CANDIES CONTAIN ALCOHOL
Confectionery Hand Book Recipe
Shows Use of Spirits in Compo-
sition of Different Sweets.

1t is quite easy to absorb an apprecia-
BILE amount of alcohol by means Of the
apparently innocent chocolate bean
and the tempting fondant. LiQueur beans
and liqueur fondants are on sale at all
the better class confectioners' in Lon
don.
In the question which was addressed
to the chancellor of the exchequer il was
PC NED thhtit Che I5,ctleo Of n,hiing
sweets containing large percentage Of
proof spirit was confined TO German and
other continental manufacturers. In
quiries made recently went to prove that
the practice is almost universal among
English manufacturing confectioners.
The trade has never made any secret
of the composition of these corrections.
In a popular confectionery hand book
the following recipe is given for the
malingof superflne liQueur bonbons and
fondants: Take three parts of sugar
and one part of spirits. such as brandy.
rum, cognac, gin. or whisky" 1t is add
ed that the liqueur should always be
mixed with 10 per cent Of dissolved
white gum.
In some sweets the spirit remains
mixed with sugar; in others. by n pecul-
far method of manufacture, the spirit
remains in the center in a liquid form
AS a rule children do not buy these
liqueur sweets, as they are expensive.
