he makes the demand for railroad
rate regulation. His recommenda-
tlons are wise ana perhaps 60 far

he has receded from his former
position of demanding that rate
adjudged fair by the interstate com
mission should go into effect i'm
mediately. .-There are many who
believe in government ownership,
who would like first to see the real
regulation tried The experiment
may work and at worst can give us
valuable experience should it be
necessary finally to take the public
utility corporations over. body and
breeches. The chief danger is that
the railroad, unable to openly beat
the contemplated regulation will SO
manipulate the law with 'jokers" as
to nuliify it.

More Chicken Lore From the
Farmerc' lnseitute
Continued from Last Week

The house for hens that Mrs. Til
son likes best, is a rather small
warm building for a sleeping room.
with door opening into a scratch
ing shed attached to one end of the
house and facing south. This shed
to be alright at back and end and
have drop curtain of unbleached
muslin in front, for stormy DAYS
In this shed place bundles of grain
or straw, in which scatter grain for
the hens to scratch out; this keeps
them from standing around and
getting chilled Busy hens are the
ones that lay eggs in winter. If
they are allowed to stand about on
the warm side Of the house or on
the roost no eggs need be expected.
Mrs. Tilson says that Wisconsin
where she lives, is not a warm place
in winter yet under her manage
ment the hens never fail to Law a
goodly number of eggs, in fact her
flock averages II eggs a month the
year round. In the house place
roosts on a level and not over three
feet from the floor, two feet is better
for large brood. Mrs. Tilson said,
the modern hen was unlike the
original jungle fowl that found
comfort and salty perched on a limb
many feet from the ground. The
hen or today needed low moderately
wide roost Mrs Tilson knew some
preferred a round roost for their
fowls but her own choice was a fat
one. A Leghorn fowl could be
comfortable on much smaller perch
than Plymouth Rock or Brahma.
The roosts being on a level there
was no crowding for position. as
there would be with the ladder like
arrangement.

Facts Abo~t Water and RANGE

Water and range are as necessary

and business interests are seriousl,
crippled. Water for his crops and
out range for his stock are the San

for success. And as ranching is the
leading occupation of the valley the
success of every other industry de-
pends largely upon the success OF
this one. Hence the interests of the
entire community centers in ranch
prosperity.
The people of this valley are -
loyal as those of any other part Of
the country, but at present there are
government restrictions which are .

cause is just and they are only exer-

in forest reserves for the preservatioa

Hantiy Contested

CHICAGO. Aug. 12-Henry Chandler
Egan, the young Exmoor Country CLUB
golfer, who will be twenty-one years old
| the 2lst Of this month, is The national
| amateur golf champion for the second
time in two successive years, having
successfully defended his title in the
tournament which closed today at the
Chicago Golf Club links in che Sc hole
finals against d. e Sawyer. the
/ Wheaton Golf Club wizard
Egan won by up and 8 TO play. after
match which was in many respects the
most brilliantly contested finals for the
honor In the history Of the tournament.
Leading by l up at the end of the
morning round. of eighteen holes, Egan
succeeded IN increasing the advantage
to up at the end of twenty-seven
holes. He terminated the contest at the
thirty-first hole. the twenty-eighth and
twenty ninth being halved. and Egan
winning the thirtieth and thirty-first.
Sawyer Badly Beaten.
Egan won the match in the afi ernoon
round, making the first nine holes in
thirty eight strokes. his opponent taking
fOrty-four. Sawyer won only one hole
in the second round. In fact, he sue
ceeded in winning only four holes during
the entire contest. Egan won ten holes,
the other seventeen being halved.
One of the largest galleries that has
ever assembled on q Western course
witnessed the contest. There were more
than thousand spectators in the morn
ing. and this crowd was increased 10
1900 in the afternoon.
On account of the liberties which the
spectators had taken in some or the
matches in the earlV rounds President
R l. Thomas, who refereed the match.
in q speech before the players teed off
for the first hole, requested that the
spectators observe absolute silence dur
ing the progress of the play. CoI.-@-
quently the players were not disconceTt-
ed. as usually ocurs at a big match.
Always Led.
Sawyer held the lead only once during
the entire match. taking the second
hole after Egan drove twice out Of
bounds Matters were squared at the
fifth. and when the champion won the
sixth IL was Egan all the way 70 the
finish.
Sawyer's great ability to drive and
his superior work IN the long game had
little to back it up on the putting green.
and in the short strokes Time and again
he threw away chances to either win OF
haIve holes. There were critics in the
gallery who stated that he should have
been s I'D at the turn in the morning.
Egan really did not reach MS stree
until the afternoon round. He played
his best golf tournament IN the nrst
nine holes. taking thirty-eisnt nt strokes
for the distance and not making mis-
take. although finding the rough half
dozen times The rough however. had
no terrors for the Exmoor youth.
