MAN HUNTING AT THE FAIR

Bloodhounds pursuing an imagin-
ary murderer will be. one of the
most interesting features of the In
terstate fair at Spokane, this fall.
Harry Draper. the owner of the
two hounds which have become ia
nous in the Pacific northwest for
their skill in running down fugitives
has consented to give exhibitions
on the grounds at the tair.
Some swift runner will be given
a long lead on the fair grounds
The hounds will be given the scent
and relesed in pursuit. Nothing is
more excitingthan watching hounds
on such run. Their loud baying
as they follow the trail sends a
thrill through the listener. The
fugitive will be permitted to wind in
and about through the field aud
over fences, doubling OH his track
and in other ways attempting to
throw the dogs off the scent. These
are the same dogs which located
Murderer Smith, the escaped con-
vict from Salem, Oregon, penlten-
tiary. Smith killed one sheriff and
terrorized the entire community.
Man hunters from all over the north
west were ia pursuit, but were un-
able 20 locate him until the hounds
from Spokane were sent for. They
quickly found his hiding place and
their owner, Harry Draper, shot
Smith dead.

SEVENTY PER CENT.

c. Hoadley has just completed
the school enumeration for the
Kenmewick district and finds we
have 362 persons of school age of
which I89 are males and I73 fe-
males. Last years enumeration
gave ala persons. This is an in.
crease of over 10 per cent. over
last years figures. This gain is
indisputable evidence of Kenne-
wick's growth. Our new school
house will be the proper thing to
accommodate the increasing num-
Der of pupils.

MORE CULTIVATION
LESS IRRIGATION

In the semi arid portions of the
middle west farmers resort to fire.
quent and thorough cultivation
which in q great measure takes the
place of scant rainfall. The fruit
growers and farmers of this section
will find that less irrigation is re-
quired if they will use the same
scheme in conserving the moisture.
! A prominent athourity has this to
say; From the time the trees ale
set,-and it makes no material diff
ference what frnit,-ihey should re-
ceive constant cultivation during
the growing season. 1t is griev-
Gus m stake to suppose that ,rriga
tion will take the place of cultiva-
ton in tie growing of any cultivat-
ed crop, and this is more fallacious in
the growing of orchards than in the
growing of annual crops, for it will
affect the life of the tree for all time
while in the annual crop the error
only for season unless repeated.
The growth OF every tree is to send
its roots where they will find the
greatest moisture. 1.-THE moisture
is always near the surface and near
the tree, roots will be sent out too
near the surface that will in time
become the main roots to take the
place Of those that should grow
downward in search of moisture.
A great many orchards are ruined
by fhis careless system Of irrigation
alone. If a plant begins to turn
yellow. through excessive use Of
water, that is the time many of our
| irrigators take to turn On more
water.
A growing tree needs but a small
amount of the water it will requjr.
when it come into full bearin 3.
And the less water each tree receives
consistent with a healthy and
moderately vigorous growth, the
better orchard it will be when it
comes TO maturity. The only way
to lesson this error is by frequent
cultivation and ever keep in mind
that the longer we can ho'd the
moisture where the plant or the
tree can reach it, the better the
plant food. A plant under con-
slant irrigation has mighty slim
chance for it's life.
A great many people nse water
for irrigation on about the same
principle as the old German used
beer: "Too much beer is schust
rioht =" But this does not bear out
the facts either in beer or irrigation.
for 100 much of either is surely a
bad hing. 1t is a good thing,
sometimes, to become scarce OF
water, when we more readily learn
the principle use of the scra CHI
tooth cultivato-. .-Wapato Independ

Phone Exchanges. To Be installed in Arltgton and Ant
 lers Hotel.

A contract was let Saturday to tue Pine Bluff Telephone company for the installation of telephone system in the Arlington and Antlers hotel, both Of which the hustling Jack O'Keif is the manager. A phone is to be placed in each room and they will not be of the kind that are usually installed. just to connect others in the building but one will be able to talk over them to any person in the city, who has a New" phone. Mack Hanmett. the business-like manager of the Pine Bluff Telephone company, is getting things ready so that it will be com pleted by July first. This is a very modern and up-to,date improvement and it shows that this city is at last waking up and realizing that she needs some good twentieth-centurv hotels.

PURE DEMOCRACY.

People are talking about a different
Bryan and hailing him as one who not
only loves his fellow men but is will
ing to preside over them in a safe and
sane way. Meanwhile, tne Commoner,
Mr. Brydn's personal and official or
gan, thus says: Democrats have no
disposition to forget the Chicago plat
form, for that platform represented in
1896. even as it does to-day, the real
conservatism of the country. Owing
to the unprecedented production of gold
the money question is not and will not
be discussed in detail as it was in the
Chicago platform. But the underlying
principle of bi-metalism, the quantita-
tive theory, has been amply INDICATED
and is now generally recognized.
OF course there is difference of
opinion as to who are Democrats and
what pure Democracy is, but some
who say they are Democrats have a
very decided disposition to forget the
Chicago platform and to have every
body else forget it. Will Mr. Bryan in
sist that it be remembered and in
dorsed?

With garments crumpIed and torn,
With her heart in a desperate mood,
A woman fumed in unwomanly rage
Seeking a cooker of food.
Search, search! searchi
BY subway, by trolley, in church,
Wherever she went, in dolorous voice
She sang the song of her search!
Search search! search
While the cock is Growing aloof!
And search search! search!
For she has no cook. forsooth!
It's oh! for the days of slaves,
When your servants dare not shirk,
When ladies had never a dish to wash
And were waited on like Turk!
Search! search search!
Till your brain begins to swim!
Search. search! search!
Till you ache in every limb;
A cook who will wash, or who won't,
Or who condescends only to cook,
It's always the same ole tiresome game
Whichever way you look!
With garments crumpled and torn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
She returns at night TO a comfortlesi
home
And tumbles, weary, to bed
Search! searchl search!
Next day it begins again.
And we fear it will be till eternity
The burden of her refrain

Not long ago it was solemnly and
sadly announced that there was no
Democratic party in Connecticut. Since
then nothing has appeared to indicate
that this announcement was Incorrect.
Vermont is another Of the New Eng
land States in which it is doubtful if
there is a Democratic party. In 1872
the state returned a Republican plural
ity of 3o,554 In 1904 this plurality
was sO,682 This year those Vermont
men who once thought they were Dem
ocrats are going to join with the So
called independent Republicans in the
hope Of electing somebody to some
thing. Their candidate for governor
is Percival w. Clement Of Rutland,
who is also of course the candidate Of
the independent Republicans.
OF course the union party in Vermont
must point to something to justify it
self, and it does, It charges that the
Republicans have built up a machine
which has given scant consideration
to taxpayers. There has been, it says,
long season Of reckless extrava-
gance. If Mr.. Clement is elected he
promises various measures of reform.
The local option law will be continued
along the lines Of the Massachusetts,
system. Towns and cities will have the
right to expend themselves money rails
ed by taxation. There will be a pur-
chasing agent and a new system of
auditing, to the end that the extrava-
gances of state administration may be
reduced. Capital punishment will be
abolished. if the reformers have their
way.
Guess the Republican plurality in
Vermont wont be quite wiped out this
year. And probably it won't be in two
years from now, either.
