Letter to }. J. Anssl, WalhalIa.

Dear Sir: How easy it is Co get things
mixed! This comes from our agents, b.
K. & &. w. Sickle, Rockaway, N. j.:
A Rockaway man was going to paint
two houses, year ago, lead land oil.
Thoy induced him to paint one Devoe,
by agreeing to bear any loss it might
bring him.
Oneo his houses chalked-off, and he
called for settlement.
The boot was on the wrong foot. Load
and-oil Is the ohalkor; not Devoe. 1t was
a mistake, not buuco.
If Devoe chalked.off as lead and oil
does. it wouldn't stand ghost OF a
chance in the market. Yours truly,

Cutting Acreage and Holding Cotton.


Cutting acreage and holding cot
ton reminds me of something else.
DO you know of any farmer in
South Carolina that is holding fine
beef steer, pig, or a fine pair of mules,
or good pair of coach horses, ton
of hay or bushel of grain, or lot
of good fat hens and frying chickens,
q lot of fresh eggs and butter, that is
now waiting on live stock, or grain
and hay association, or dairymen's
association, or hen society to meet
and pass resolutions to hold these
South Carolina farm products for
profitable pricesp No! None of
these kind of farmers are waiting
for profitable prices for these pro.
ducts, but on the other hand buyers
are going all over the country look.
ing for these farm products and are
paying fine prices. The producers
of this kind of South Carolina farm
products are not holding and hunt
ing for buyers, but the opposite con-
.htion is here. The buyers are on
the hunt all the while for this stuff,
and this is no new condition of
things in South Carolina. Is it not
strange that all animals, even glut-
sonous beasts, learn to know when
they get enough of thing2 But,
somehow or other, some of our silly
all-cotton farmers seem never to
know when they have got enough
cotton. The more home supplies
one has about hiui the easier it is to
hold cotton. You cannot starve a
cook any more than you can starve
out a farmer that raises all these
home supplies.
This kind of South Carolina farmer
can hold on to his cotton until his
clothes are worn into holes and the
tax man comes.

TO make a sure job of it Herman
Reckling committed suicide at Free
land, Pa, recently by blowing his
head off with dynamite. Reckling
was suffering from a severe tooth
ache, and that is the only reason his
family can advance for his act. He
placed stick of dynamite, to which
he had already attached a fuse, on
his temple. He then applied the
match and in a minute the explosion
occurred. His head was literally
ground to atoms.

"''Soheiy lor WnaC you want and
you generally find it!
Anderson, March 14.-J. G.. Strib.
ling, Pendleton The question of
planting is now before the members
OF the Union, and the subject of re-
ductlon OF cotton acreage has been
sprung, and | believe every member
is willing to do the right thing about
the matter, but don't know Just what
that is. Now, it seems to me that
the only way to make a practical
suggestion is that every man be his
own Judge in the premises based on
this: BE sure to plant enough grain
to make all you need, if short crop
is made. Now, the fellow who has
to buy bushel of corn is planting
too much cotton, and is not living up
to the doctrine of the Union, and is
not good union man, let him be
whom he may. So, brother, if you
belong to that list and want the re-
spect of your union, quit it right
now and take some of that land YOU
meant TO plant in cotton and put it
In corn. You are the man that we
want to reduce. You are not treat
ing yourself nor your brothers right.
We ought to put stop to the
shipment of corn to our country.
We can do it and not get hurt, but
on the contrary be helpful to our
selves. This is the doctrine of the
Old Grange, which is one of the
fundamental doctrines of the Farm
crs' Union. How and what to make
was the mission of the Grange. To
supply money to pay for it was the
doctrine of the Alliance.
Hence the only new idea of the
Union is how to get value received
for our product. SO l do hope that
the apologists for the Grange and
the Alliance will cease forever their
songs of despair. I, for one, am con-
vinced that there never has been
grander successes than the two
above named societies, making room
for the union. They lived to estab.
lish their principles in the hearts and
minds of the people and stopped,
(and died some would say.) They
are not dead. No, by no means.
How to make is still live issue in
its multitudinous form-improved
implements, improved stock of every
description, are all the doctrines of
the Grange firmly engrafted in the
minds of the people, and the various
demands of the Alliance are being
put into law as truly as in the
Grange. SO will the Union live.
We are here to stay, and we are
growing as fast as could ba expected,
but it takes time to get anything
worth the having, besides the hard
work. $50 push along and shove
along" and let our motto be "keep
moving"
Yours very respectfully,

DEAR SIR: Good yarn: How we
got our agent at Delhi. N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
we mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was paint
ing his big Colonial house. Said it
took 10 gallons of white for the
trim.
We sent him ten gallons and said:
If we get it all on, no pay; if you
have any left, return it and pay for
the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated; that why it took
ten gallons to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to go by; Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly

HOG CHOLERA IN ROCK COUNTY.

A Luverne special says that hog
cholera has made its appearance and
indications are that it will develop
into the most disastrous epidemic of
its kind in the history Of the county.
Thus far several hundred hogs have
died, some farmers losing over one
hundred, and the disease is spread
ing rapidly. Wherever the cholera
is discovered strict quarantine meas
ures are enforced, but in many cases
this is impossible because farmers
will not report the disease in their
herds. One of the most pernicious
agents in spreading the disease are
pigeons, and farmers turnout the
country are being urged to shoot
them. The pigeons are great rovers.
and alighting in a pen where the
disorder exists they easily carry the
germs to neighboring farms. The
trouble thus far is confined to four
townships, but new cases are re-
ported daily, and as the months of
October and November are con-
sidered the worst for the spread of
the disease, the outlook is alarming.
The sale of the hogs the past week,
for slaughtering purposes, has been
very heavy, as many farmers are
afraid to hold their animals. The
losses sustained already aggregate
several thousands of dollars.

Gun While Hunting.

One of the saddest of many hunt
ing accidents last week happened in
Brookville township, at a point three
miles west of Evan, on the I'd inst.
Seven hunters including three
brothers by the name of Hansen,
were hunting ducks. At the time
they were eating lunch. While do
ing this a flock Of ducks flew over,
and in the excitement, gun in the
hands of one Fred Hanson was dis
charged and the contents Of both
barrels struck Louis Hansen in the
right side just below the short ribs.
He was only distant from the muz-
zle of the gun five or six feet. Medi-
cal help was at once summoned, but
nothing could be done to save the
mans life. At four o'clock he ex-
pired.
The two brothers, Fred and Louis,
were residents of Minneapolis, being
employed in the large mills. The
victim, Louis, leaves family con-
sisting of a wife and several small
children.
Coroner Aldrich of Belview came
down Monday and after learning
the particulars and circumstances of
the accident decided an inquest was
not necessary. The funeral of the
deceased was held at the Brookville
church Tuesday.

JAPAN BUYS SIX ROADS.
Total Amount Paid for Railroad Sys-
tens VIII Be S125 100000

Toxic, July 31.-The Japanese gov
ernment has just announced the dates
on which it will purchase the six pri-
vate railroads, authorization for which
purchase passed both houses of the
diet last March. The dates are as fol-
lows: The Hokkaido Tanko Tetsudo
and the Kobu Tetsudo on October 1,
1906; the Nippon Tetsudo and the Ga
yetsu Tetsudo on November /, 1906;
the Nishinari Tetsudo and the Sanyo
Tetsudo on December /, 1906.
The aggreg gate sum of the purchase
price will about to 250,000000 yen, or
about SIPS, 100000. For the purchas-
ing sum of each railroad the govern
ment will allow the interest of 8 per
cent a year, beginning with the re-
spective date of purchase. The gov
ernment will not issue these bonds un-
til it sees fit to undertake the issues.
The returns from the six purchased
railroads will not only pay the run
ming expenses and the interest, but
will also yield surplus, the exact
amount cannot yet be estimated with
any degree of certainty.

WorkincInen and Others of Limited
Means Comprise the Larger Part

pects in the Northwest-Seyenty
I.aborcrs Arrived on No. 1 This
Morning.

After a lull of a month or so in the
passenger traffic from the east, 1t has
again taken on the proportions of a
crowded to the limit.
No. 5, the o. r. & N. westbound
train. has been loaded to the very
limit of its seating capacity for the
past week, and the rush is swelling
each day.
The larger part of the present rush
is made up of workingmen from the
middle states bound for Portland and
Spokane. They are attracted to the
Pacific coast by the demand for labor
here, and the promise of high wages.
Many of them are tradesmen and
many are common laborers, and most
Of them seem determined to remain
in the country II it is possible to find
work.
Large numbers of them have passed
through the state of Kansas, where
harvesters are in sharp demand, but
refused to stop, although they were
besieged at every stop of the train
by pleading employment agents who
offer fabulous prices for rev
weeks work in caring for the bump
er crop Of Kansas.
About 35 men transferred from the
main line OF the o. r. & N. to the
Spokane branch this morning, and
fully as many more laborers went
through to Portland.
One peculiar phase of the situation
Is that scarcely any of them will stop
short of Portland, although assured
that Portland is now sending hundreds
of idle men every day to the railroad
camps and harvest fields of the inland
empire. They seem determined tc
ride out their ticket If they have tc
walk back to eastern Oregon to fine
job.
