WAS A BUSY CONGRESS.

The last session Of congress was q
busy one, but the number of things
done that ought to have been done was
out numbered by the things that were
left undone.
The senate, against the advice Of the
President, amended the arbitration
treaties, and this work is not at a
standstill.
District Court Judge Swayne was
acquitted on articles of impeachment
voted by the house.
The Philippine tariff was revised and
an act passed to encourage railroad
building and other developments in
the islands.
The laws Of Alaska were codifed
and the appointment of an additional
judge authorized.
Two new battleships were provided
for in the navy appropriation bill
Jurisdiction of the forest reserves
was transferred from the interior to
the agricultural department.
BY resolution of the house the de.
partment of commerce was instructed
to begin an investigation of the oil
trust.
The secretary Of war was authorized
to return union and confederate battle
flags TO the states from which they
were originally borne.
The American National Red Cross
society was incorporated.
A river and harbor bill was passed
carrying an appropriation of nearly
$3l, 100000.
There was failure TO pass the
measure for the immediate opening of |
the south half of the Colville reserva.

The Esch-Townsend bill for the reg
ylation of freight rates by the inter
,tJtc commerce commission was passed
by the. house, but died in the senate.
The statehood bill which. as it passed
the house, admitted Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona as separate states,
was amended 50 as to admit Oklahoma,
and Indian territory as single state

SPRINKLE THE STREETS.

For the few months in the year that
we have dust on the streets THERE
OUGHT TO BE SOME WAY FOUND
TO SPRINKLE THEM AT PUBLIC
EXPENSE.
Already the clouds of dust are roll
ing over everything in our principal
streets.
To depend on private enterprise and
two spriukling carts To keep the streets
of city like Salem spriukled is a
farce.
II there is any power in the city
charter To compel this to be done, the
city attorney should find way To do il.
BETTER GO WITHOUT SOME
THING ELSE THAN LET THE CITY
BE COVERED WITH DUST THIS
YEAR.
The streets are preserved aud kept
from being worn out aud ruined by the
use ot water In summer
OH would make "A still better street.
But let them be spriuklcd with some
thing.

THE BIG MoNoPoLIsT WILL Es-
CAPE WITH THE VERY LIGHT END
OF THE LOAD.
II anything is to be expected Of this
tax commission It should be made up
OF an able constitutional lawyer, of an
experienced assessor and an experienced
tax collector.
BY taking the best laws Of several
states they could make a code FOR as
sessment and taxation that would pro
duee results.
But to secure three good men at a
thousand dollars apiece, who will not
take a couple of thousand on the side,
and protect this big interest or that, is
the question.
The people have little faith in com
missions. THEY WILL HAVE LESS
WHEN THEY GET THROUGH WITH
THE TAX COMMISSION.

SIZING UP YOUR MEN
Their Way Of Answering Questions
Often Helps

one thing that helps you keep track
OF your men is the habit of asking
questions. Your thirst for informa.
ton must fairly make your tongue lo!!
out. When you ask the head Of the
canning department what were net.

days market for Gamers ana he has
to say. "Wuit a minute. and II! figure
it out" or turn 20 one % his boys and
ask. Pin. what are tw0s netting us?'
he isn't sitting close cough TO his job,
and perhaps II BIZ were In his chair
he'd be holding II IN lis lap; or when
you ask the CHIEF engineer how much
coal we burned this month ms com.
pared with last and why in thunder
we burned II. II he has TO hem and

he's az. but who doesn't know what's
what, he's pretty likely TO be 1t. When
you're dealing with an animal like the
American hog, that carries all its

to make sure that your men carry all
the latest news about 1t on the tip of
the tongue.

wintering sheep.

Good, comfortable roomy sheds are a
necessity where sheep are to be win
tered. These need not be expensive,
but should be well ventilated, free
from drafts and situated on dry
ground, says Wool Markets and Sheep.
A large open yard, apart from that oc-
cupied by other animals, should be
provided for exercise, Too much con-
flnement in overwarm or Ill ventilated
stables is fatal to success with sheep.
On the other hand, comfortable quar-,
tiers, regular and liberal feeding, pien'
ty Of pure water and suificiency of
salt will go far toward insuring their
successful winterlng and strong crop
of lambs in the spring.

Selection Of
Breeding Swine

No two men will exactly agree as to
what constitutes "a perfect hog. DIFF
ferent men mcn Of equal ability will
pick ont different hogs ns the win
ners, says Il correspondent Of Western
Swine Breeder This is due to their
different ideas rs to type and perfec-
ton. Let US sec what are the require
mcnts Of perfect hog They are size,
bone, quality, color, markings, hair,
head, ear, symmetry, style, beauty,
evcnness and dozen smaller require
ments. These are all but minor re-
quircmcnts in an ideal hog. Tho cru.
clnl test, and the one requirement In
an ideal hog, Is, VIII lie make the most
pork out of the least amount of fecdt
All the former go to please the eye;
the latter IL to fill the pOCketbOOk. If
need be we could dispense with all the
former, but the latter Is the life of the
business.
What | wish to impress upon the
breeder Is, do not forget the para.
mount object Of the breed. 1t should
be your duty TO do all you can in select
ing such stock ms will make the most
gain from the feed fed. Feed Is high
and will 90 higher as the years pass on.
1t will only be with the utmost care
and closest selection that we will he

AS stated elsewhere in these col umns two men are isolated on Middleton Island, off the coast of Alaska, and if still alive must be in starving condition. It is al- most impossible to reach them in a small boat, one at least having been wrecked and lives lost in att tempting to reach them. The island is not much out of the way of steamers coming to or leaving Valdez, and It would be humane act for one of the companies oper- ating along the coast to give orders that would tend to save the. men if possible. The island is not very large and is in a generally rough part of the ocean and is well known to all captains.
