Congo Commission
REPORT made PUBLIC

Brussels, Nov. S.-The report of the
commission appointed by King Leopold
to investigate the conditions in the
Congo independent state and the
charges made against the administra-
ton of the Congo has been published.
The report considers the charges, which
are under eight heads, and says:
"The state was warranted in appro.
priating large tracts of vacant lands,
but this led to abuses by which the
natives were confined to narrow limits.
1.-THE system by which the natives
pay taxes in work requires strict linn
itations, go that work shall not exceed
forty hours per month
The report then critieizes the harsh
methods Of enforcing the taxes, con-
dennis holding women as hostages
pending the non-payment Of taxes, and
says that to these customs is largely
attributable the harshness of the ma
tive chiefs.
The action Of the commercial COM
panies in placing sentinel overseers
over the native workers is condemned.
The commission recommends the
passage Of law strictly defining mill
tary expeditions.
The commission lengthily examined
the charges Of tho mutilstion Of the
bodies Of the natives and pointed out
that the mutilation Of bodies is an an
ciant custom of the natives, and that
all the cases Of mutilation presented
we're attributable to natives.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
BRApY's REPLY

Gov. Brady says he became member of the Reyuolds,Alaska Development Company because he believes H. D, Reynolds to be an honest man and be- cause he believes the company has good prospects. He also excuses himself oy saving that his name and title had been used too freely in the prospectus of the company by Mir, Reynolds without his knowledge.
 The only point here that is worthy ot consideration is that MT, Reynolds made too free use of the name and title of the governor iu his prospectus. The claim that the latter believes the company has good prospects and that Reynolds is honest has nothing to do with the mat ter. The secretary of the interior has said that much.
 For what purpose does Gov. Brady suppose he was asked to become su of- fcer of the Reyuolds-AlssAa Develop ment company if it were not for the in- iuence his name and title would have with prospective purchasers of its shares of stock? He is not a mining man and his time belongs to the gov erumeut. He could not take personal supervision of the Alaskan end of the business of his company.
 To any man with sufficient ability to be governor of anything it is plain that the ReyuoldS-alasSa Development Company put Gov, Brady's name to the only use in which it could possibly be of profit to it. The fact that the gov ernor wrote letter, addressed to in vestors generally, iu which he prom ised to "seize" everything of value in sight for the company and asked his friends to invest their money in 1t, Is indicative ot his full knowledge of the significance of his connection with Key holds
 Goy. Brady's interview shows the old man to be either an artful dodger or too gullible Ito use his own word to be governor. The secretary should insist on the resignation.

which is in the neighborhood of $780,
OOO, 900 bushels, is less than seven
bushels per capita, and that is the
smallest per capita we have had for
ten years. In India they raise about
half a bushel per capita. Sixty years
ago we used to raise about five bush
els per capita. In 1869 it ran up to
seven and half bushels; in 1879, to
nine and a quarter bushels; in 1889
it fell back to about eight bushels,
but this year it has fallen off again
We will consequently need the most
of this years crop for seed and bread
We need about 50,000,000 bushels for
seed and nearly 450,OOO,OOO bushels
for bread every year; hence the ex-
ports during the current fiscal year
will be much smaller than usual. In
1902 we exported about 203,OOO,OOO
bushels, and in 1901, when there was
a very large crop, 234,OOO,0O0 bushels,
but the exports this year will be the
smallest for many year."

Potatoes, Sprayed and Unsprayed

The Vermont Experiment Station
furnishes some interesting data upon
this subject Last August it sprayed
a portion of potato field located be-
side one of the most travelled roads
leading into Burlington. The soil was
a well-drained, sandy loan sod, we'll
MANFRED, plowed in the spring and
planted late in May. TwO-thirds OF
the piece was sprayed on August 8
and September with standard Bor-
deaux-Paris green mixture C pounds
copper sulfate, pounds stone lime,
one-half pound Paris green, 40 gallons
of water); one-third was sprayed SOLE
ly with Paris green.
The late blight (Which directly or
indirectly causes most of the loss from
the rot of the tubers) was first seen
on the unsprayed rows on August Fl.
1t spread very slowly, but, when the
tops were killed by frost on September
23, fully 80 per cent of the foliage on
the unsprayed rows was dead. No
late blight could be found at this time
on the sprayed rows where fully 80

per cent of the leaves were alive.
The crop was dug on October 3. The
sprayed rows yielded at the rate of
344 bushels per acre, and the un-
sprayed rows at the rate of 3O1 bush
els per acre, a gain in total yield of
only 43 bushels. But when the rotten
tubers were sorted out the sprayed
area produced at the rate of 81 bush
els per acre of sound, marketable po-
tatoes, and the unsprayed area at the
rate OF sc bushels per acre of sound
and marketable potatoes. Eight per
cent of the crop on the sprayed area
was rotten, while 80 per cent of that
grown in the unsprayed area was lost
by rot The net gain was 261 bushels
per acre as a result of spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. Potatoes sold in
Burlington for 60 cents per bushel.
The gain amounted therefore to $156.

ing a net gain of $3.50.
These results are EXCEPTIONAL; but

cially in Northern Vermont, where

c,ovvinq Wheat and Its Consumption

Recently Secretary Wilson of the
Donortment of Agriculture called at
tontion to the fact that in most OF the
oIder states wheat production per acre
hos fallen off, and points to this fact
GO conclusive evidence that the soil
elements in wheat production are be-
ooming exhausted. No doubt there is
,,rch truth in this. But it is very
we'll known by good farmers, who me-
medically pursue crop rotation
trbich includes red clover and other
leouminous plants followed by wheat,
that the latter crop is grown in as
Ioree production as it ever was, and
co there is nothing to become alarmed
Of lest the country should permanent
w fall below the demand for this great
cereal. Soil humus and nitrogen are
the great and essential elements in
wheat growing. Red clover, cowpeas
and other legumes supply both of
these. In Southern Illinois where
wheat soils became greatly exhausted
farmers resorted to cOwpea crops in
the rotation, and the result on the
following crop of wheat was very
marked. The chief reliance in most
sections has thus far been red clover.
We call to mind numerous instances
in the past twenty years where wheat
following clover gave wheat yields far
above the average, and no exception
TO this rule has been reported. The
figures comparing wheat production
per acre in twenty years in the older
states, quoted by Secretary Wilson,
show falling off on the average acre
age, but they do not reveal the results
with farmers who by legume rotations
keep up their wheat yields. These
things are indeed important and
should awaken those who do not pur-
sue proper rotations to keep up fertil-
ity.
Secretary Wilson also quotes the
largely increasing consumption OF
wheat in this country. He says: "The
American people consume more wheat
than any other nation, because of our
ability to buy it. This years crop,

SHAMEFUL DEATH IS AGAIN
PAY FOR ILL.LIVING

Maggie Mantle is dead. She was
all of her frail self, except love, that
was left to die. All aspirations, hopes
and decency within her had died long
before.
She yet was young but she died the
consort of a negro.
The body of the girl was found in
the rear of a millinery store on Second
street. She had then been dead, the
doctors said, at least twelve hours.
At first there was a suspicion of
murder and Eugene Girault was
placed in Jail to await the verdict of
the coroner's jury. The jury Satur-
day decided that the girl came to her
death through acute alcoholism,
The jury was composed as follows:
Geo. L. Sanderson, Chas. Ling, Geo.
Purnell, Florian A. Carnal, H. J. Mel
Ii and A. J. BrOderick.,
| Girault, the testimony showed, was
| Jealous and had made threats against
the girl because she preferred the
company Of her shady paramour. He
was released when it was made clear
by the doctors that she had died of her
way Of living.

HAyRE BAND GOING TO CHINOOK

The Citizens Band of Havre this
week arranged to give a concert in
Chinook Wednesday evening, June
28. The band feels that it will be
sacrificing something for it's members,
all of whom are working men or
professional men, but the invitation
of the citizens of the neighboring
city was so hearty and unanimous
that it could not be rejected.
A choice program, largely of popu-
lar music, has been prepared by
Gordon, director, as follows:
March-Polly Prim, S. Henry.
Sel.-Robin Hood, r. DeKoven.
Waltz--Dream of Heaven, Bauer
Intermezzo-Cu Garden, Eugene.
Ovt.-Poet and Peasant, Suppe.
Waltz-Blue Danube, Strauss.
Ovt.-Orpheus in der Undervelt, Often
bach.
Two Step-Prospector, Helms.
The band is already assured large
attendance at the concert to be given
in McIntyre's opera house in this city
June %. The concert will be followed
by a grand ball, with Maughan's full
orchestra in attendance.

HATS OFF TO LEMMER, SHOOTER

Frank Lemmer of Havre this week
won the gun-shoot trophy in Glasgow.
He must have gone after the thing
alfred hard and got it hell-bent,
because it is certainly a Jack-of-All-
Hades.
1t is worth the. while of every
citizen with stout heart to stop and
see it, but women and children
shouldn't. 1t is too surprising for
panicky people.
Lemmer won the honors and the
prize by making the extraordinary
score of 26 out of a possible Is. And
it wasn't a good day for shooting
either.

THIEVES SOON GET THEIR DESERTS

Thirteen is unlucky to Harry

18th day of the month of June they
hid s13 in the weeds down Honke

from one, Jack 'Brien, a waterwerks
worker who was subject to the blan
dishments Of girls Of Daisy's type.
The couple got a 500 bill, also. Peasly
had spent the bill before Chief of
Police Bickle found him.

cache Daisy hid out in the dande-

she isn't married, but she ought to be.
