SOC, 75c, $LOO. $l.5O, $500 to $3.50

tine bill which passed the house Last night
and which is pending in the senate, with
every likelihood of passage because of the
presidents message of March urging legis-
lation along the lines of the Wadsworth
bill. Late last night a protest was received
by the Colorado delegation against the pas
sage of the bill and stating that 1t would
work great loss and even a hardship upon
the stock growers If enacted into law,
but the protest came too late to be useful
to the delegation, the bill having passed the
house an hour before it was received. The
Denver protest, however, has been enpha-
sized by letters from individual owners of
cattle in Nebraska, who unhesitatingly go
on record that the wadsworth bill is of so
radical a character that the cattle interests
OF the country will be greatly damaged
should the bill pass as amended.
w. G. Comstock of Ellsworth, Neb., in a
telegram to Senator Millard says that the
presidents message to congress on the
quarantine bill is a menace to the live stock
interests of the country. In connection with
this matter, which is exciting the liveliest
kind of interest among live stock men of
Nebraska, Senator Millard has received a
letter from s. p. Delatour of Llewellyn,
complaining against the quarantine regula-
tion with respect to cattle exposed to
mango. He makes the broad statement
that not per cent OF the cattle on the
ranges had been known to have mango;
that out OF 1900 head of cattle he handled
in recent years he had lost but four head
from mango. Mr.. Comstock in addition to
his statement that the bill would be a
menace to the live stock interests II passed,
said that he was IN favor OF federal control
OF quarantine rather than state control. Mr..
Delatour says that what is most needed 10
an inspection for feeders at the point of
destination and not at the point of en-
barkation.
Walter Everett OF Lyons, who arrived
in Washington today to attend the in
augural speaking of the quarantine bill
which is being antagonized by western
stock interests, said he had never known

CONDITIONS IN FRANKLIN COUN-

W A. KooNTZ.
Farmers of That Section OF the Coun

Grain Yield.

"Crop prospects in Franklin coun-
ty are exceptionally bright" w. A.
Koontz said yesterday evening upon
his arrival in Walla Walla from mis-
farm near Ethiopia in Franklin coun-
ty. Farmers are not bit discouraged
over last years crops, taking it as a
matter of course that a new wheat
country has to be developed.
1--WE have had an abundance of rain
this winter and considerable snow and
as a result the ground is full of mois-
ture. Fall wheat is looking fine and
the outlook for a big crop this fall is
very encouraging. l have about 700
acres sowed to fall wheat and every
acre Of it is coming up nicely
Mr.. KoontZ has just finished at a
cost of $4,000 one of the finest wells
and pumping plants in the county.
There is about 100 feet of water in the
well and he is furnishing water to
farmers for miles around. Water is
pumped by means of a gasoline engine
and a windmill. He also has lately
completed the construction of a big
reservoir at a cost of over 500.

be the case. The surprise of the clergy
mans household was great, however.
when it's members noticed that their
stork" now wore two silver rings upon
his leg instead of one. The bird was
recaptured and-behold! the old ring
was back again and accompanying it
another, which read: India sends
greetings to Berlin
Time was when the stork was pop
ular in Germany as an exterminator
of snakes and frogs. But of late scien-
lists have proved that frogs are of
service to agriculture and 'rticulture
by consuming myriads Of insects.
Thus the stork by decimating the
number of frogs, is continual men
ace to these useful industries.
While this revelation has turned
sentiment against him to a certain ex-
tent, it would not have been sufficient
ly powerful to dethrone the universal
favorite if the scientists-for whom
the German has a profound respect
had not recently produced other unfa-
vorable testimony. They proved that
the stork frequently robs the nests of
larks and other singing birds, consum-
ing eggs and feelings with impair

hard pressed for food, to an occasion
al chick or duckling, picked up out of
the farmyard after the manner of the
birds of prey. Sportsmen were in
censed by the information that the big
bird makes away with every young
hare to be found in it's territory ana
Moreover, it was discovered that the
stork is not as domestic as he was
commonly supposed to be. Not in
frequently male storks fight to the
death over the possession of a female,
and the latter calmly accepts the vic
tor as her lord and master, though he
be stranger, whom she has never seen
before. There is, too, such a thing
as bachelor stork, living at the edge
of the woods and roosting high up in
the trees, apparently the most ire
sponsible bird known to man.
When the German nation becomes
fully aware of all these facts, the
doom of the stork will be sealed.
