MOVING THE ROADSIDE.
An Opinion and . Criticism Of tic.
Wisdom Of Cutting Down the s1
Natural Growth.

]. Horace Mcfarland, president Of
the American Civic association, writes
in the Country Calendar: =
Il am aware that in the prodigality,
Of nature there will be, In time, an ems
croachment of growth upon the road
space, and that in the pinched narrow
ness OF our highways .u.s may need to
be restrained. Restraint, or selection,
does not mean destruction, however,
The result of this ruthless moving Of
the roadsides is always to kill the more
delicate and beautiful of the shrubs
and flowers. and, by thus disturbing
natures balance, to encourage the
growth of the vigorous but really un-
pleasant weeds which otherwise would
be IN the minority. For instance, along
one road with which am familiar, the
eoloenrod, asters and the like have
been destroyed, but each season there
springs up plentiful growth Of dock,
sandDurr and other unpleasant weeds.
IN another case, the naturally pleasing
combination of several viburnums,
nuckleberries and dozen herbaceous
plants has been improved until now
the road is bordered only by briers Of
blackberry, which, while they do give
one burst of flowers and fruit. are not
by any means satisfactory s.
i talked with one of these super
tlsors who was thus improving a road
in central Pennsylvania, and found that
he supposed it necessary to cut out the
growth in order, as he expressed il, to
cause the road to dry out That is,
the faults OF narrowness. careless max
ing and gutterless condition were all
charged to natures effort to beautify,
and it was thought wise and right to
chop-of everything that could be cut
away on both sides o. the road"
1t would appear, says the Prairie
Farmer that President Mcfarland has
@unwittingly gotten the cart before the
horse 1t is the observation of many
men that about the first thing to ap-
pear at tie side of the road after the
highway has been cleared of the natural
underground, is "the plentiful growth
Of dock, sandburrs and other unpleas-
ant weeds"
Being more vigorous the noxious
weed has no trouble in displacing the
grasses and more desirable growths,
SO that the only remedy in many cases
is regular moving that the pests may
be kept down and thus prevented from
scattering their seeds over the country
side. While we greatly admire dec
orative roadside with it's we'll selected
Shrubs growing in a more or less nat
ura1 state, still if We must also have
the dock, sandburr, etc, we would pre-
fer that everything be cleared that the
moving machine have free play to cut
everything within. the reach of it's
guards.

A Fish Story

I'm my garden" said a resident OF
Brookline, Il dug last fall a hole three
feet deep, thirty feet long and thirty
feet wide. filled the hole with water
I made an artificial lake out of it.
Today that artificial lake is full of fish.
Where did they come from? I didn't
put them there"
THE question you ask me- replied
the biologist, has been asked me
many times before. Innumerable men,
building artificial lakes, have, like you,
been mystified to find these lakes spon-
taneously producing hosts of fish.
This is the secret of the matter.
Fish eating birds, the gull and hawk,
and so on, settle on these new waters,
drop into them from their bills fish
spawn-the crumbs, so to speak, of a
recent meal-and these crumbs propa-
gate become fish. Thus, in time, we
have an apparent miracle-an artificial
lake spontaneously producing hun
dreds of finny deniZens."

BIG SEASON EXPECTED
Vermont May Produce Over 100000
Pounds of Sugar.

RUTLAND, VT, April 5.-What is
expected to be one of the most prof.
table maple sugar seasons in several
years will open within a few days,
preparing to clean up between $2,O00,-
900 and 100000. Some trees have al
ready been tapped in the southern
counties and the flow of sap indicates
a great run.
Last year the season was phenome-
nal, and it was not anticipated that
this years output would be above the
average, but indications now point to
even a greater yield. This is because
of the severe winter and the fact that
the ground has been frozen to a depth
of six feet.
Sap runs best when the frost ex-
tends to the lower roots of the trees
and continues to flow while it is leav-
ing the ground. Warm rains bring the
frost out quickly and interfere with
sugar making, but crisp nights and
warm days extend the thawing process
and string out the season. With the
latter condition the output will be
enormous.
An unusual effort is being made this
season to keep up the standard of the
sugar to prevent adulteration. Maple
sugar is adulterated in Vermont as
well as elsewhere, but there has been
a great cry raised against the prac-
tice, and the Vermont Sugar Makers
precautions, and violaters of the pure
food laws will be severely dealt with.
Attention of consumers is again call
ed to the fact that the pure product
can be told by it's color. Unadulterated
maple sugar is about the color of cof-
fee. A sugar that is a light brown
In cakes it is likely to be hard, but in
pals it is soft and can be dug out with
a silver caseknife.' The adulterated ar
ticle is dark and always hard, whether
in pail or cake.
1t is more difficult to detect adulter-
ated syrup, but syrup, if pure, will
| never cryStaliZe under several months
exposure. If crystals form in the can
within few weeks after it mas been
received, the consumer may be assured
that the product has been adulteratej
with cane or beet sugar.
| When sugar was made years ago
over an open fire, it was deep brown
but since the evapOrater came into uSt
it is light and free from the twang that
| formerly characterized it. Last yeal
20,000,000 pounds were made.

Mails to Be Sorted at Sea.

NEW YORK, April 5.-One of the
most important steps yet taken in the
movement looking to the improvement
of the trans Atlantic SERVE will be in
augurated on the White Star line
steamships scheduled to sail today
from New York and from Liverpool.
This involves the sorting of mail on
board the steamships so as to be all
ready for distribution when they ar
rive at their destination. The system
will be the same as that in use on the
American railway cars. Despite the
great benefits to be derived from the
innovation, it was brought about only
after long negotiation between the pos
tai authorities of this country and
Great Britain. If it proves as success
full as expected, it will be extended to
other lines so as to cover all the heavy
trans Atlantic mail.

She Is the Most Versatile Women in

Warehouses Oyama, wife of the Jap
lnese Napoleon, is the Mrs. Aston of
Toxic. A precocious nigh school pupil
when only ten years old, she won an
American education at the expense of
Japan. Coming here in ner eleventh

At 81 she was a Vassar graduate, at %
the wife of Baron Oyama, and now in
ner forty-second year, is recognized as
the most versatile woman in the en-
pire. She won fame years ago as an
expert fencer, swimmer and horse
woman. AS a student Of botany, 20
ology and foreign languages she is in
the first rank. The marcnioness is the
foremost authority in her country on
Shakespeare. Her intimate knowledge
of German and French quickly sent ner
to the head of society in Toxic, and
foreigners of distinction VINO have at
tended her receptions regard her as one
of the most brilliant of the worlds
women. Despite her American educa
ton, the marchioness selected England
as the school home for her two daugh-
tiers and a son. Marquis Oyama stud
led military tactics in Paris, taking
three years course. The two years fol-
lowing in England in the observation
of the English won him many warm
friends there, which was the prevailing
reason in sending the children to Brit
ish schools.

cONGRESsMEN WILL STAND TO-
GETHER IN FIGHT FOR RE-
NOMINATION NEXT YEAR.
Jones, Cushman and Humphrey Said
to Have Formed a Strong
Political Combine.

From the coast comes the positive
assertion that congressman Jones,
Cushman and Humphrey propose to
stand together in joint fight for re-
nomination next year. Theirs is as
serted to be a hard and fast defensive
and offensive alliance intended for mu
tual protection against the attacks of
any new candidate who may appear
against any one Of the congressman.
Since the three congressman are
nominated at large in this state it is
possible that two of them might or
ganize strongly enough to pull through
the third, against whom a bitter fight
might be directed. Each of the con-
gressmen is certain of something of
following.
Political changes in a years time
may serve to weaken this congress
sional alliance, but that it exists now
is not denied by the three men, states
a Seattle report. "They regard the al
lance as a protective move made nee
essary by the fact that the three are
nominated at large and for mutual
protection.
1T has been claimed by we'll posted
politicians that such an alliance ex-
listed at the Tacoma convention in 1904.
The congressman do not deny this
claim, either, but they do show a di-
vergence of opinion when politicians
attempt to tell how it worked out.
Whatever may have been the original
congressional program at Tacoma, it
is we'll known that when the three
congressman served notice that they
stood together the nominations were
quickly agreed upon. All semblance
of fight died with the showing of
pooled strength.
That is exactly the same kind of a
showing the congressman are working
for again. They will jointly use the
summer vacation to strengthen the
lineup, and future talk Of congressional
fights will have to take this fact into
consideration.
when the fight was made for con-
gressional division in the last legisla-
tive session it was maintained that the
three congressman had SUCH an al
lance"

SEVERAL DOING GOOD BUSINESS
IN THE WAllA WAlLA AND
TOUCHET RIVERS
Game Warden Ritz Will Make an In.
vestigation Upon Assuming His
Office Tomorrow

One of the first official acts of Game
Warden Will Ritz, when he assumes
the duties of his office tomorrow, will
be to investigate the presence of a
number of fish traps reported to be
located in the Walla Walla and Tou-
Chef rivers. Several reports Of fish
traps being stationed in the Walla
Walla river near Lowden station have
reached the ears of Mr.. Ritz, and he
days to look after the matter.
Ex-Game Warden Morse destroyed
number Of traps set in the Walla
Walla by residents along the stream
last year, and it is said that the same
parties have constructed similar de-
vices again this year for the purpose
of sharing salmon which are making
their spring run to the spawning beds.
Warden Ritz stated today that he pro-
posed to appoint number Of deputies
in different parts of the county and
that violaters of the fish and game laws
may expect a warm reception. The
pay of the deputies will depend upon
the zeal they display in capturing vio-
laters, as one-half of the fine imposed
on persons convicted of violating the
laws is paid over to the one making
the complaint. The system mas been
found to work admirably.
