Senator Mitchell Convicted,


Senator John III. Mitchell of Ore
gon, has been convicted in the FEEDER
al Court at Portland of using for pri-
vate gain his office as Senator in c.n
m,ctlon with the public land frauds
in the west. lie has been given a
sentence of a $1,000 fine and six
IN nths imprisonme mt in the pe1li-
t,ntary. Senator Michell's offeLse
consisted in giving material aid t.,
landgrabbers and land thieves in
Oregon, by introducing the chief
lauugrabbers to the Departments in
Washington and recommending
them, and by accepting pay from the
land thieves for his influenc, before
the departments. Inasmuch as the
then commissioner of the general
land Office was an Oregon man very
close to Michel the incident amount
ed practically to bribary. Senator
Mitchell is supported by powerful
political influences in the west and
he made i. hard fight to prevent con-
viction. The usual effort for a new
trial will Ee made and an appeal to
higher courts to secure reversal on
technicalities. The sentence under
the conviction might have been as
much as two yearsin prison and $40,
600 fine. The jury, however, recon,
mended leniency. Senator Michel

iarmeriw lo appeared l,eforc The cx-
utlve council of Iowa to see that tie
railway property OF the state, which
about to have its valuation fixed
by that body. was so assessed that
the farmers would not have to pay a
part OF the railways share of taxes.
Mr.. Ryan not only showed clear
comprehension OF the theories of
railway taxation, as to stock and
bonds or gross or net earnings mclh-
ods ol determining railway values,
and firm grasp Of the question In
all its bearings, but announced his
purpose OF attending the future met
lln9s oi the executive council for
this purpose. He showed how farm
easements had been raised to fict-
10 level by reason of few sales of
i,rp sat speculative prices; and in
>i-tc4 that railroad property should
either be valued to the same level or
farm assessments reduced. He quot
ell numerous examples of farm taxes
greatey increased while railway taxes
in the same localities were actually
lowered.
The farmer is nearer right on the
question OF taxation than the man
of any other vocation. He does
right to keep an eye on other classes
of taxpayers. The influence of the
farm population should be steadily
exerted TO put stop to all forms of
tax-do dying and evasion Home
stead.

Farm Earning. and Taxation.

Itis harder for the farmer toconceal
his taxable property from the eyes of
the assessor than any other class Of
taxpayers. His farm, his live stock,
his buildings, fences and other i'm
provements. his machinery, and other
personal property are in plain sight
Of all his neighbors. Most of his
business transactions, if he be far
mer of average acreage and extent
of operations, are known of all men.
Even ifhe be exceedingly judiciops
and even secretive of speech and cor
duct, his private affairs are usually
pretty we'll understood in the com
munity. He can hardly realize hun
dred or thousand dollars from any
kind of a deal without public know
ledge of the fact. His banker does
not need to violate business confd-
ence to give the people of his vicin-
ity fair degree of information as to
his financial condition. The farmer
is not ssually disposed to be tax
dodger; but if he was it would be
impossible for him to accomplish
much on that discreditable line. He
leaves such dishonest and unpatriotic
conduct to others. But the farmer
feels the weight of the tax-gatherer's
exactions too keenly not to realize
that he is a sufferer from the evas-
ion of other property owners. But
small part Of the moneys, credits
and other personal property of the
cities and large towns Of the country
finds its way into the tax lists. tits
the property thatisin sight that pays
the taxes which maintain our state,
county, municipal and township gov
ernments, our schools roads and
bridges and other public charges;
and the farmers property, being in
sight, bears its share-a very undue
share-of the burden dishonesty
shifted from the hidden wealth of
the tax doger.

of Iowa last week shows that the far
mer is losing patience with this state

shall do their share in the payment

Summer Care of Chicks.

In t he winter the great trouble
with baby chicks is to keep them
warm; i'll the summer tie trouble is
to keep them cool This latter is c;,si-
ly accomplished If abundant fresh
air and shade is given and special
attention pai'l to the water supply
and drinking vessels, but we have
two enemies to fight in the summer
time which are not present during
the winteramong the bruofler chicks
lice and cl,irgers.
When the ground is covered with
snow the hens keep to their own
yards. but when the pens are broken
up for the summer the hens and
cocks hauntthe quarters Of the baby
chicks, spreading the lice crop to
every chick. We can keep the prem
ises comparatively clean by sp. ayirg
the hen houses once month with a
one per cent solution of carbolic acid,
painting rcosts and nest boxes with
kerosene orlice killer, and providing
generous dust baths of dry loan
sprinkled with carbolic acid. lice
killer, or sulphur, but if a single
louise escapes with its life it will
choose to spend the balance of it on
under, juicy chick rather than on
the t ugh old hen which has formed
its birthplace. This is the reason
why, though raised in brooder, the
summer chick must be treated fre-
quently for lice. Crease the head,
under the wings, and about the vent
with lard Or vaseline, and dust insect
powder into the feathers. A very
good powder is made of ten pounds
of air-slacked lime and ten pounds of
sulphur, bu this feels di agre BILE to
the hands, and | prefer dry dust
sprinkled W tn carbolic acid and
allowed to stand in covered can
until tho acid has permeated every
atom of the dust. The object of pow
der of any kind is tosmotl er thelice;
dry dust does this as effectively as ex-
penslVe powders.
For the chigger, or the chigger
flea, the only remedy is preventation.
These chiggers work in colonies.
Each. .chigger gets as close the first
settler as possible, often entirely COW
ering the comb and. face. They
abound in weedy and brushy places
hence summer chicks should be kept
on closely cropped grass to avoid
them. Some breeders house their
summer chicks in roomy building
with an earth floor until they are
month old, claiming that at that age
they have strength to resist the at
tacks of chick enemies. CarboIated
vaseline, or a mixture of lard and
sulphur half and half is the best
remedy for infested chicks. This is
also effectively applied as preven-
tive of the bigger. Whether the
summer chick is worth the care it
must receive depends on whether
other duties demand the time con-
sumed, and whether you need the
chicks. There is no question that as
good birds, with exceptionally fine
plumage, can be raised in June and
July as in April and May; there is
no trouble in getting them up to
standard weight by January, but the
wise poultryman knows when he has
reached the limit of Capacity of his
plant, and one chick hatched after
he has his number is too many

WHAT ToTEMlsM is.
Light oa nm Interesting and LtttI,
Understoud Subject.

Light un nm Interesting and Little
taderssood Subject.
1t is interesting to note that totemisn
Is found not only III Alaska, but among
re- North American Indians, the abo-
r!g,lieS OF Australia, the Hottcntots Of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
Ola. Totcins are also common among
the Samoans.
Broadly the totem is the badge of a
clan or tribe, but it signifies great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only tribal en-
blcm. bat also a family sign; not mere
ly a symbol of nationality, but also
an expression of religion; not simply
bend Of union among primitive peo-
pies. but also regulator of the mar
iiase laws ard of other social institu-
tions y totem has been defined as "a
class of material objects which Il saw
age regards with superstitious respect,
believing that there exists between
him and every member Of the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among tie Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twcnty-threc differ
ent totems. Nine of these are uuadru-
pods, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds. five are fishes and one is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re-
sarding totems prevail in Samoa Thus
I 1t is believed -thas af n. turtle man cats
OF a turtle he will grow very Ill, and
the voice of the turtle will be heard in
his inside saying: "FIe ate me. l am
killing him." If n banana man uses Il
banana leaf for n cap he becomes bald
If n butterfly man catches n butterfly
1t strikes him dead. If a fowl man
eats II fowl delirium and death results,
and so on, all going to show that the
totem has something of the quality of
a fetch as well as the significance Of
family emblem.
Regarding totemism, 1t is to be noted
that the relation of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem it
self-that is to say, If Il man takes
care Of his totem lie expects the to-
tom TO return the compliment If the
totem is dangerous animal 1t must
not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men of Sencgambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them.
There is snake elan in Australia
which holds to a similar belief Among
the crocodile clan of the Bcchuanas If
Il man is bitten by crocodile or even
has water splaslied on him by one he is
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the totem.-Housekeep

Fresh Fruit.

"Gold in the morning, silver Mt noon
and lead at night" is always used with
reference to fruit. Most people think 1t
means that the explanation of the prov
erb is that digestion is strongest In the
morning and weakens as the day goes
on. But you will note that the proverb
refers to fruit alone If 1t has to do
with the digestive power only 1t should
be applied to all foods. The real expla-
nation is. very different. II, is that fruit
freshly gathered is fitted for eating and
lessons in value as the hours pass. That
is true not of fruit only, but Of all veg
etables That which comes direct from
the garden to the table is the most pal-
atable and in every way best fitted for
consumption. 4f,Q y an
