ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.

E.IToR NEWS The strawberry
crCp is one of the most important
anu best paying crops produced H.
thi- country, and should command
the attention of our agricnlturisis.
wberries is especially adapted
10 lis climate aud soil; they cat
be PRODUCED in abundance, there IL
a quod market for them, and they
ais avs command good price.
Nearly all our neighboring towns
are producing them in large guam
titles, and they have found tha,
they pay better than almost any
9th sr crop.
We have few small patches near
Baxter Springs, and they net the
owners from so TO $l00 per acre,
VII ch is better than almost any
other crop. If our farmers would
all put in from one 10 ten acres, 90
that there would be in all several
hundred acres, the crop would be
much more remunerative. Shippers
would be on hand 10 take the whole
crop off their hands, giving the
producer all his time TO take care OF
his crop.
/ believe our farmers should COM
bine together and form sort OF
trust in their own interest instead
of trying TO fight the combines that
now exist. IN union there is
strength, and if we could produce
enough strawberries so ns TO be
able to ship car load every day,
there would be big money in il.
Strawbe berries do not require rich
land; il is better they should be
planted in fairly good soil, without
weeds or manure. They do notre.
quire any great amount of cultiva.

case of c. L. Tucker, the young Au-
burndale man charged with the muir
red of Mabel Page who was found

Mr.. Garner told the president that
if he would come to his district he
would give him a hunt after these
animals and a bear hunt in the coun-
try between Del Ria and Ell PasO. He
would furnish horses hounds, guides
and attendants.
The president replied that ne was
getting heavy, but not old, and would
not like as wild horse as he formerly
would have wanted, but he had life
enough yet to want horse nat too
tame. He finally asked Mr.. Garner to

WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED
AT THE LEWIS AND CLARK
FAIR.
Commissioner Scott Tells of His Trip
Through the Counties of the
East Side.

Richard Scott of Milwaukee, Oregon
has returned to his home after a Snort
stay in Walla Walla. Mr.. Scott has
lust finished a tour of eastern Wash
ington made for the purpose of inter-
esting people in the Lewis and Clark
exposition. He also met number of
representatives to the next legisla-
ture and urged upon them the neces-
sity of Washington making a big ap-
preparation for the fair.
In an interview Mr.. Scott stated that
everywhere he has met with the heart
lest support and predicted that east
ern Washington would be right in line
in the way of exhibits at the EXPOSE
ton. Mr. Scott's tour was not for the
purpose of gathering exhibits, that
work being left to other members of
the commission, but to urge upon the
people the needs of the state being
well represented. From the reception
he received Mr. Scott believes that
Washington, especially the eastern
side, will take a prominent part in
what is destined to be the greatest
exposition ever held on the Pacific
coast.

3 PASSING OF JUDGE CLANCY.
Retired From the Bench in Montana
Today.

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 1.-THE turning
out of the old and the incoming of the
new state officials in Montana today
marked the passing of character of
national fame-Judge William Clan
the Second judicial district has ex-
pired. There probably never has been
a district judge in America who earned
such an extended reputation as Judge
Clancy. His eccentricity, brusqueness,
homely wit and native Missouri l1umor
all served to spread the glory of mis-
fame broadcast. During his term on
the bench he tried and decided some
of the most important mining suits
ever tried in America. The three
leading cases were the famous Penn
sylvania case, the Nipper, and the
second trial of the Minnie Healey, all
in the litigation between Augustus
Heinze and the Amalgamated. His
decisions were uniformly in favor of
Heinze, and because of that fact the
judge became the object of severe
criticism. He says he has had enough
of public life and will resume his law
practice in this city.

RECEPTION AT WHITE HOUSE
New Years Day Duly Observed ir
Washington City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. New
Years day was observed officially and
socially in Washington today. Bust
ness and politics We're forgotten and
usual the ceremonies centered around
the White House, and no one thought
of receiving until after the presidents
reception was over. The function at
the executive mansion passed off in
much the same manner as the recep-
tons of former years. The guests
were received in the blue room as
usual, the music was furnished by
the Marine band and there were the
same scenes Of thousands waiting in
line outside the mansion. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were assist
ed in receiving by Miss Alice Roose-
welt and the ladies of the cabinet. A
fanfare of trumpets at precisely II
o'clock announced the beginning of the
affair. The first to be received were
the members of the diplomatic corps,
who were followed in turn by the tu-
dietary, members of congress, the
heads Of departments and represen-
tatives of various patriotic societies.
The general public was admitted at
1 o'clock and it was some two hours
later before the president had greeted
the last visitor
