We observe the Extra Journal ran
an anonymous letter last week against
the court house tax. A man who is
either for or against public measure,
when he asks a newspaper to give cir
culation to his opinions, ought to be
com ageOus enough to let his name ac-
company the article. If his opinions
and statements cannot be vouched for
by his own name, the public have a
right to guess that they are not good.
This anonymous writer seems to have
little regard for the value of the

inc them

TWO BIG PAYING CASES.
Court Reporters Reap Big Fees In
Their work.
From Atlantic Telegraph.

From Atlantic Telegraph.
Stenography during the past few
years has been considered a dead let
ter, a business that was over worked,
that there was nothing in it. 1t has
been generally understood that there
are so many stenographers, compe-
tent ones, that there was no pay for
any of them. The whole story is
knocked into cooked hat, the COM
potency and pay part of it, in the last
few weeks If one may Just accept
couple of examples.
The recent trial of the famous Doyle
Burns mining case at Council Bluffs
lasted forty-fiye days. The suit was
between Colorado mining kings.
More than half million dollars was
involved. 1t was the second trial of
the case. The ltigants on either side
were many-times millionaires. 1t was
not SO much a question of money with
them as question of principle. The
case was tried before Judge Thornell
whose court reporter is Jasper Fer
guson, of Council Bluffs. He took
the contract to report the case for
$4,000. 1t was specifically agreed
that the whole days court proceedings
should be in writing (typewriter) one
hour after the adjournment of court
each evening. Mr.. Ferguson couldn't
do the work alone, it was physical
impossibility, so he called b. O. Bru-
ington to his assistance. They divid-
ed the pay, getting 81 $50 each for
their work and the litigants allowed
them 800 additional for the hire of
two young women to operate type
writer's for them, making the total
cost FOR reporting the case $500.
When the case commenced, Mr..
Ferguson sat in the court room for
one hour and took short hand notes
for one hour. His place was then
taken by Mr.. Burlington. AS soon as
Mr. Ferguson retired from the court
room he went into nearby room
and read his notes to one Of the young
ladies who is an expert with the type
writer. At the end Of an hour his
notes were put in plain English and he
was ready to return to the court room
and take his turn while Mr.. Bruing-
ton read his notes to another expert
typewriter. Nhat system was followed
for fOrty-tive days and one hour after
the adjournment of court each evening
the attorneys for both sides had exact
copies of all that transpired in court
during the day.
1t was an expensive piece of bust
ness but the stenOgraphers reaped the
benefit.
This system will be followed at Red
Oak commencing on the 23rd inst.
when the trial of Tom Dennison, the
famous gambling king of Omaha,
commences. This trial will be before
Judge w. II. Green of Audubon. His
court reporter is Mr.. Butler. He has
engaged Mr.. Burlington to assist him
in this case. The case will probably
last ten days or two weeks. 1t is a
warmly contested case. The Civic
Federation of Omaha is waging the
fight against DennisOn. Both sides
have money and are spending it freely.
1t is not known what the reporters are
to receive in this instance, but it is be-
lieved it will not be less than 81 900 or
$500 each, with an additional fee for
the typewritrs.

Eaas Are Pretty HIGH Now.


During the past four or five weeks
the prices of eggs in some sections
have risen to almost 40 cents a dozen,
this being for fresh ranch eggs. In
Bellingham 3S cents has been quoted
for some time, and the supply has been
inadequate to the demand. Speaking
of the matter a few days ago, George
e. Brand, a commission man of Bel
bingham, gave out the following infor-
nation:
"In the first place, the wheat and
feed this year has been so high that
many Of the farmers have killed off
their chickens, and there are fewer
farmers handling eggs now than for
the past five years. But this is not the
main reason for the scarcity by any
means. The principal cause is that
the consumption has increased at a
rapid rate, and outside shipments have
nearly doubled relatively of late
years.
'"There is not the 1east~~doubt but
that Whatcom this year was well up
in the list of counties whose farmers
shipped their eggs to Alaska. The
prices in the north are extremely high,
and the inducements to send hen prod
ucts there are enticing.
"Thirty-eight cents a dozen, the
price now asked for fresh ranch eggs,
is the highest that has prevailed in
three years, but it is safe to say that
the quotations will stop at that figure,
for the people who have been accus-
toned to refusing anything but ranch
eggs are now becoming accustomed to
the cold storage article. These eggs
are called the Oregon and the idaho,
but they are really received here from
Missouri. When the shipments arrive
at their destination, the eggs are can
died and selected and when placed on
the market are nearly as good as the
ranch quality eggs. They sell at con.
siderably less, from 10 to IL cents a
dozen at least. The shipments of cold
storage eggs into Bellingham have
been large this year."
In view of these conditions and the
fact that practically the same thing
occurs every year, it is hard to COM
prehend why more farmers do not
specialize in the poultry line and have
supply of eggs on hand when prices
go soaring. Many of them are so sit
uated that they could take care of sew
eral hundred hens without much diff
ficulty, if they would drop some of the
less profitable lines of work, and they
could make small fortune each year
in hen fruit by conducting the bust
ness on proper lines and being in the
market just at the right time.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-11-01

according to our notion the Rocks
considerably discount that breed in
general appearance. Then there is
the Black Minorca, breed to which
we have become greatly attached on
account of their beautiful appearance
and the reputation they hold of lay
ing the largest egg of any breed. And
since they are good layers also, we
dislike very much to have to give
them third place on the list. But the
unfortunate color of legs and meat is
somewhat against them as a market
foul.
We take it that the enquirer above
wishes our judgment in this matter
from the utility standpoint. We have
so given it. Our own experience
clearly demonstrates that as egg pro-
ducers the Rocks and the Leghorns
are about standoff with each other;
that as a market fowl the Rocks cas-
lily lead the Leghorns, although we
have customer, a large restaurant
where LeghOrns are preferred as
broilerS to any other breed. The
Rocks are, however, general choice
for roasters.
AS to hardness, we find the two
breeds about equal. In the matter of
handling the Rocks can be kept under
control at less expense for fencing. AS
consumers of food, while the Rocks
cost some more to feed, they will bring
as much each in the market as two or
three Leghorns. Another thing should
not be lost sight of and that is that
each breed has strains far superior to
other strains of the same breed, as
egg producers. But our experience
goes to show that when we undertake
to develop superior layers from the
Rocks, the natural result of several
years work along that line will be
to increase their egg producing quail

Fall Care of the Laying Hens.
&C.. S. Greene.)


To produce eggs in paying quantities
during the winter months it is first
necessary that the stock should be in
proper condition not later than No
vember 1. Old hens, as a rule, that
mott late in the fall cannot be put in
condition for laying until the last of
January. We rely principally on the
pullets Matched the spring previous for
our early winter eggs. We may make
one exception to this rule Yearling
hens that mott in August will general
ly be in condition to lay by December
and make very profitable winter lay
ers. They must be fed and cared for
so as to hasten Noting if they are ex-
pected to mott early, as ordinarily
hen will not mott until September.
The process of fastening the mott
consists of first reducing the feed so
as to stop the production of eggs dur
ing the last week of July. When they
have stopped laying and have been
kept on about one-fourth of a ration
for three weeks the feed is then in
creased gradually for few days until
a complete egg producing ration is fed
literally in quantity. At this time
one pound of oil meal to each hundred
hens or a small feed of sunfiower seed
every other day can be profitably fed.
Hens and pullets should all be in win
ter quarters before cold or freezing
weather. The temperature of the
house should be kept above the freez-
ing point, but should not be forced
higher than forty degrees by keeping
the house closed at the expense of ven
tilation.
The entire floor of the house should
be covered with six inches of dry,
clean straw, which must be changed
as often as it becomes damp or soiled.

The Fowls for Puget Sound.
Oh. l.. Blanchard


o. R. NJ, a Seattle reader, writes
me as follows "Will you kindly tell
me what kind of chickens you con-
slider the best adapted to the Puget
Sound climate? Also state next best
kind"
The above enquiry is made more
frequently than any other, concerning
the poultry business, and it is not SO
easily answered as it would at first
appear. AS all know, the numerous
varieties and breeds of poultry repre-
sent nearly all, if not all, of the shades
and colors known, which is a very
fortunate thing, since we may agree
upon all other points, and still it takes
the variety of colors to go round and
satisfy all. But eliminating the ques-
ton of color altogether and judging
from our own experience and the pub
lished records of other flocks we can
not hesitate to signify our preference
for the Puget Sound conditions as
follows: First, Plymouth Rocks, and
second, Leghorns.
Now, here are two breeds not at all
alike in general appearance, form or
color, the Rocks of the three varieties
being formed alike but of different
colors-barred, white and buff, and
the Leghorns of similar type and hav-
ing four colors-brown, white, buff
and black. 1t is true that the Wyan-
dots are becoming a very popular
breed in some of it's various cOlOrs,
but we, as yet, fail to observe any
superiority possessed by them over
the Rocks, while, as a matter of fact,

ity at the expense of a change of type
and loss of weight to a more or less
degree. Our experience is the same
with the Leghorns as well.
