The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1905-11-18

The proposal to permit the use Of
spectacles to British soldiers is a re-
minder that from their prohibition
came the monocle. according to the
Buffalo Commercial. About a century
ago an army order was issued forbid
ding officers to wear eyeglasses or
spectacles. But a short-sighted officer
belonging to a crack regiment had no
mind to resign his commission or STUN
BILE blindly, and he invented the single
eyeglass. When called to account by
the authorities he claimed that the
monocle, being of singular number, did
not contravene the order against spec
tacles and glasses in the plural. Red
tape accepted this literal rendering Of
the law, and, becoming popular in the
British army, the monocle was adopted
by civilian beaus.

Cottonseed as Fertilizer,

Cottonseed meal is used quite extern
sfvely in some sections of the country
as fertilizer A good grade meal will
carry about 6.S per cent nitrogen. 2.9
per cent phosphoric acid and 1.8 per
cent potash. Based upon the valua-
lions that will be used by New Eng
land experiment stations in 1905 for
computing the value OF commercial
fertilizers, a meal analyzing as above
will be worth about $50 ton as
fertilizer. Notwithstanding its high
value when used directly in this way
it will usually be found more econom-
zeal to use it as food for stock and
to apply the resulting manure to the
land. When used thus, from eighty to
ninety-five per cent Of the nitrogen and
phosphoric acid and practically all the
potash will be contained in the ma
nure.

The average yield per acre In this
instance was 1875 tons Of green corn.
The cost of the ensilage, including the
raising, which was estimated at s. per
acre, was little high. Consulting the
table, however, it will be seen that it
required four teams hauling for five
days top draw the corn to the silo per
day. This means that the silage had
to be drawn from some distance or
more could have been hauled, but even

Coat Of Silaxe.

We have from time to time laid be-
fore our readers the cost Of putting
corn in the silo, says Farmers Trib-
une. Some men are able to grow the
corn at cost of about 30 cents per
ton Of green matter. They are able to
put it in the silo for another so cents,
making tho total cost of the si1age in
the silo approximately 81 per ton.
Sometimes the cost goes as high a.
$1.5O, sometimes even higher.

in Touch With Inquiry
From Start
AVS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
POSSESSES IMPORTANT EVIDENCE
.Intinates That There Is a Good
Chance of indictments Being
VOted-RepOrt That "a Whiteyyash
Is Coming for Has Alb
sOIuteIy No Foundation.

Chicago, March 2S.-The federal
grand jury resumed its investigation
of the so-called beef trust, with the
prospect of reaching, for the first time,
some actual results. In the week which
has been consumed by the linguistic
rial body about fifteen witnesses have
been examined, the most of whom
have been summoned from Kansas
City. Omaha and Sioux City, and who
are department managers for large
packing establishments. Their teStl-
mony has been unimportant, according
to a federal officer who has been in
touch with h inquiry from it's start.
Thus far the witnesses who have
appeared before the grand jury have
been men who are employed In ca
pacities of a minor character" said
this official, and their testimony has
been almost valueless but for their
knowledge of shipping charges. There
have been two or three department
nag who would be supposed to
know a great deal more than they &C
tually do about the business methods
of the packing firms. AS a matter OF
fact, they have been able to contribute
precious little to the stock CT informa-
ton already gathered by the govern
ment experts.
ct will develop later that the gov
ernment's investigation has practically
exhausted the subject, and that the
witnesses who have been summoned
were called merely for the purposes OF
confirmation. The department of JUS
tice has in its possession right now
enough evidence to submit to the
grand jury, with a good chance of in
dictments being voted. The report that
a whitewash is coming for the packers
has absolutely no foundation"

FRANK ROGERS RETURNS
An Evanston, ILL.,, Mystery That
Becomes More Mysterious.
The Boy Who Disappeared When
She Did, Declares He KNOWS
Nothing About Her.

Chicago. March 2S.-Frank Rogers,
who disappeared from his home in
Evanston, four years ago, with his
aunt, Miss Florence Ely, has re-
turned. Young Rogers stated that
since leaving Chicago he has been
working in Buffalo and New York
city. The police and others for a long
time worked on the case as a kidnap-
ing mystery. The boy o denies that
he has been with his aunt.
When he disappeared from his home
in July, 1901, his aunt, Miss Ely, who
had lived at the home of young Rog-
ers' parents, also disappeared, since
when no trace Of either had been
found until he suddenly appeared in
Evanston Sunday.
The boy was very reticent concern
ing his whereabouts since his disap-
pearance. He denied he left Evanston
in company with his aunt, and said
that he did not know of her disap-
pearance until he read it in the papers.
The boy declares that he has been in
New York and Buffalo ever since leav-
ing Chicago He has been working in
restaurants, according to his Story,
and has never heard from Miss Ely
since he left Evanston.

Err. The attendance was the class rec
ord. Mr.. Washington was late in ar
irving. When he arose he said he did
not know how much time the class had
to listen to him. "And that reminds
me- he said. "of an incident that Oc-
Cured down south. A negro man
was feeding corn to his pigs, when a
whit professor came along. He asked
thenegro why he did not wet the corn
before he fed it to the pigs. If you
do he said, it will digest in half the
time The negro, looking up at the
professor, said: Say. boss, a you
tell me what a pigs time is worth" "
The members of the class looked at
each other in mute establishment. For
an instant there was dead silence, and
then with common accord they broke
into loud laughter.
Il assure. you, gentlemen, there is
no application in that story" contin-
ued Mr.. Washington. He then spoke

Havana. March 25.-The climax OF
the enthusiasm over the visit of the
American squadron was reached,
at the luncheon in the National thea
Ter to the American officers by yeter-
ans of the revolution.
Gen. Freyere Andrade, secretary OF
the interior, addressing the American
officers in English, said they were he
roes of the seas, knights Grant of the
twentieth century, who, without lust
of conquest, broke the chains of peo-
pies who, by virile actions, proved
themselves worthy of freedom. Con-
tinuing he said:
Your good work educated them for
the duties and responsibilities OF inter-
national life. AS l thus greet you,
permit me to associate your presence
here with the beloved rame of that
generous rough rider. Theodore Roose-
yelt. who on the hills of San Juan,
consecrated his love of u land, and

IN THE BEEF TRUST INQUIRY.
Evidence Sought Concerning In
Price Retail Dealers Were
Forced to Pay Packers.

Chicago, March 25.-Twelve out-of-
town witnesses. supposed to be men
employed by various packing firms
an2 retail meat dealers, have thus far
testified before the special grand jury
which is hearing evidence against the
so-called beef trust"
Although the censorship against any
publicity of what transpires in the
jury room is as strict as on the first
day of the investigation, and wit
nesses have been so thoroughly
coached that they fear to mako their
names public, it is learned that during
almost all of Thursdays session Dis
trict Attorney Morrison sought evil
dence concerning the price retail deal
ers in meats were forced to pay the
packers, and t~he-price some of the
packing concerns have been paying
the cattle raisers for beef on the hoof.

If MONEY BECOMES CHEAP

II wouId he Added to In TreTsury's
Working Balance to Be tseu ih
Case of Emergency.

Washington, March Psf money
becomes very plentiful and cheap IN
the spring, as now is indicated, Secre-
tary Shaw will call in another Szo'-
100000 from the national banks to DC
added to the treasury's working BAL
ance, which is now 5 1000, 900, while
the banks hold s75,0 oO, 900.
The money is not needed, it is stated
but it is Secretary Shaw's idea TO
guard against any contingency which
may arise, and to put the treasury in
letter condition to relieve a possible
stripgency later on.
IL there was to be a financial squeeze
now the treasury could do nothing to
relieve it, as it has not, a dollar nor
than it needs. Mr.. Shaw's plan is to
~reIienish the treasury when money is
cheap. SO that the banks will not be
inconvenlenced by the call. t3r =
