GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE.

Many expressions of appreciation have been vouchsafed the Y iukon Valley News for putting out the best reports obtainable of the terrible disaster that befell San Fran cisco. A very large Fer cent. of the people of the camp have relatives and friends in the stricken city; and it is but natural that they should be grateful for such word as is pro- curabie.
 Readers are assured however, that but a slight portion of credit is due the paper Citizens generously donated the money that made it possible to procure the dispatches sent out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and today, and to them belongs the public's gratitude.

HEBB & GAETz'S WORKINGS.

It it reported that big reef was recently encountered in Hebb & Gaetz's works on Skookum, and that the pay is not so good as it had been through the winter.
 Drifting is being prosecuted vigorously in a belief that the pay will show up us rich as ever as soon as the reef is crossed.

condition. 1t has been noticed that
each cultivation has weakened the vi
tally of the quack and in MANY places
the roots have actually shrivelled and
dried up beneath the soil and can be
pulled UP in punches, a withered, life
less tangle. 1t should be noted that TO
produce this result the knives must be
kept sharp. IL has been found neces-
sary to sharpen the knives every day,
two sets being on hand for that pur-
pose. Another condition for success
full cultivation with surface cultiva-
tor is to get the seed bed prepared so
perfectly that shallow cultivation can
be followed. 1t was with this in view
that such care was taken in preparing
the land for this experiment. A score
or more of farmers have been wit
nesses, on the road passing the farm,
to the work being done, stopping their
teams and discussing the possibilities
of surface cultivation as the proper
method for this work, and all agree
that up to date the results have DEM
onstrated it's value against quack in
the corn field. Mr. Henry Wallace,
editor of Wallaces' Farmer, who was a
recent visitor to the Farmer Farm,
was so impressed with the value of the
work done as to become a convert to
Foreman Gregg's work and returned
home to give it strong editorial en-
dorsement. While it is not the inten-
ton Of the Farmer to take the ground
that this method adopted on it's farm
is complete solution of the problem,
nor was it our intention to mention it
for while until the results were more
thoroughly tested the publicity given
our experiments thru other mediums.

illustrations taken by the writer, on
the farm, for whatever present value
they may have for our readers Many
methods are recommended for Kidding
farms of this troublesome plant. such
as rye followed with millet or buck
wheat, anything to shade the quack
quickly and persistently in order to
smother the quack. Wei have found
that shallow blowing just before the
ground freezes is severe on quack
roots which should not be allowed to
start a growth in the fall, as they do
if ground is plowed early and become
as firmly established before freezing
weather as they were before blowing.

TAFT AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Secretary Taft's denial, at Detroit,
that he is a candidate for the pres-
dency throws no new light on the pres
idential situation so far as he is con-
cerned.
Every newspaper article thus far
written about him in connection with
the republican, nomination has been
based on the assumption that he was
not candidate, and might not be- but
that the party situation might make
his candidacy opportune and demand
his acceptance of the nomination, and
that in compliance with that demand
he would acquiesce.
This is the situation today, and on
that situation his statement at Detroit
threw no new light.
1t is pretty we'll understood in Wash
ington that he is the personals choice
of President Roosevelt. but it is also
known that the president will not use
his influence to induce Taft to enter
tIIe race IHc plSSiuSlII 10 ltsOtSu S''
having said to friend not long ago:
/ regard Secretary Taft as the big
gest man in the republican party, and
the most available man for the prest-
dency in 1908. 1t is my earnest desire
that he be a candidate, but shall not
try to persuade him to be. If he is a
candidate it will be OH his own mo-
ton. My reason for this position is
easily stated: If, on my representa-
tons, he should be candidate and
fail. / should never forgive myself
Politics is an uncertain thing, especi-
ally as concerns the presidency, for
numerous elements, aside from avail
ability and capacity, frequently exert a
controlling force in determining who
are to be the nominees of the respec-
tive parties. While Taft, in my judg
ment, is the man who should be NOM
mated, he might enter the race and
fail. He knows what my views are,
but if he makes the race it will be on
his own responsibility.
What the presidents views will be
year hence will depend upon the politi-
cal situation at that time. But his
views at this time are. it is believed,
correctly stated in what has just been
said. Eth

FORCING MEN TO REST.

bill has been introduced in the
French chamber of deputies requr-
ing twentyfour hours of rest in every
16S. The labor unions have not asked
for the adoption of the measure, and
1t was presented in response to gem
eral demand from those who accept
the theory that man can do more effl-
cent work when employed on six of
the seven days, and is forced to take
recreation on the seventh. No religious
considerations are back of the meas
ure. and no sentiment.
In the early periods of American
history heavy penalties attached to
the non-observance of the Sabbath
day. Where the New England spirit
survives it is still sinful to enjoy
amusements on that day and it must
be spent in Bible reading and in
church going. In larger cities the rest
on Sunday has encroached upon Sat-
urday and thruout the summer sea-
son half or the whole of Saturday is a
holiday, with no curtailment of the
output. In the west there is little diff
ference between Sunday and other
days, particularly in the mining cities,

Mule Versus Horse.


Mules have advantages over horses
which have come to be recognized by
men who work them side by side In
the first place the mule is healthier
than the horse. He is subject to com
paratively few of the horse diseases
and is not likely to have any of the
blemishes which destroy the market
value of so many horses. Besides, a
blemish hardly ever affects the selling
price of mule. If he goes sound no
questions are asked. In buying mule
no one ever thinks of demanding a
veterinary examination.
In point of intelligence and also in
muscular strength and endurance the
mule excels the horse. He is not SO
nervous or high strung. He has a
saner instinct of self-preservahon. His
vitality is greater. He can stand more
hardships, is surer footed, and when
properly trained is steadier and more
reliable in work harness.
To Charles Darwin the mule always
appeared "a surprising creature
THAT hybrid he said, should pos
sess more intelligence, memory, OBJ
stinacy, social affection and power OF
muscular endurance than either of its
parents seems to indicate that art has
outmastered nature" 1t is we'll known
that the brain of the mule is heavier
than that of the horse.
Breeders find the mule more profit
able than the ordinary work horse, be-
cause he can be put on the market a
year or so sooner. He is not as ex-
pensive to raise or to keep and he is
in condition for light work before the
horse is old enough to be broken to
harness. Mules are often sent to the
field when 2 years old and kept there
until old age overtakes them.

Fiohtino Quack Grass,

AS is we'll known to most readers of
the st. Paul Farmer, one of the prob
lens the Farmer Farm has attempted
to solve is the eradication of quack
grass. In common with a large proper
ton of the farms in southeast Mime
sofa. this pest has infested the soil and
the past three wet years have been so
favorable to it's spread that efforts
made by those heretofore in charge of
it have not succeeded in subduing it.
Experiments made the present season
in the cultivation of corn crop on
sixty acres of quack infested land have
been so successful that we feel we may
safely refer to it at this time for the
encouragement of those who may be
interested The sixty acres referred to
has been in corn three times, with a
view to cutivating it out. but last year
the checking with the corn planter was
done SO poorly that it could be culti-
waited only one way, with the usual re-
suit in such cases that little could be
accomplished in subduing the quack.
This year our foreman. Mr.. Gregg. has
done most of the preliminary work
himself The ground was spring plow-
ed, deep; disked. narrowed, rolled and
correctly planted, and a surface culti-
vator was used instead of the shovels.
beginning as soon as the corn began
to show above ground. Two men were
also employed for several days with
hoes in cleaning up about the corn in
spots where the quack was worst. AT
this writing, June 25th, the ground has
been gone over with the surface culti-
vator three times and all quack has
been cut off about an inch below the
surface, leaving clean row and put
ting the ground in the finest possible

REASON FOR COMPLAINT.

A firm at Waverly is advertising for
100 men to perform unskilled labor
and the price of 81 per day is freely
offered. The great northwest is plead
ing for help to enable the saving of
the abundant harvest in that section.
Factories are working overtime and
pleading for additional men to help
take care of the business. In every
nook and corner of the country comes a
demand for labor at good wages. Add
to this the good prices that farm pro-
ducts command and the question of
prosperity is not to be disputed in a
single section of this great country. In
view of this fact, the demagogue who
goes up aud down the country endeav-
oring to stir up strife, sowing the seeds
of discomfort and discord, and endeav-
oring to make people dissatisfied with
their surroundings, ought to be brand
ed as an enemy to his country.

The Brazilian Coffee Trade.

Brazil's total exports of 1904 amount
ed to $191, 100000 american gold), of
which coffee formed slightly more than
one-half, or s96,0Oo,OO0. This means
that the coffee crop alone brings a
larger income to the country than
Chile and Peru, together. realized from
their total exports, that it is three
times the value Of Portugars exports,
and six times those of Greece. 1t ex-
ceeds the entire output of mineral oils
times the value of our tobacco exports,
and steel It is worth more than
Canada's foreign trade in wheat added
to Australia's wool, and surpasses the
entire tea output of China, India and
Ceylon. Such is the value to Brazil of
little shrub,-called by courtesy a
'tree,-which, introduced as an expert
ment but a century and a half ago. has
become the staple crop Of a vast dis
trict, clothing her hills, and valleys
with rich verdure and ever bearing,
ungrudgingly, the precious bean SO in
'dispensable to mans comfort and en-
joyment
OF course, these are hard times for
the coffee planter, and careful manage
ment is needed to make G. profit at the
low prices prevailing; furthermore the
soil in many localities, especially in
the Rio Janeiro district, has become
exhausted, causing the abandonment of
many great estates. Then there is the
export tax to be met, the hauling to the
coast and the far-distant markets to
be reached, and even the unnecessary
whims of the consumer to be humored,
such as the dyeing of the bean black
to suit the South African trade But
with an abundance of cheap labor and
the limitation Of production now strict
ly enforced by the government, added
to the steadily increased demand, it is
to be hoped that conditions will rapidly
change for the better. Cheap coffee
may be boon to the housewife, but it

Take Care Of the Litter,

There is little question that many
an Iowa farm has become contaminat-
ed with the Canada thistle, quack
grass and other noxious weeds thru
the Importation of the hay and litter
which are often wrapped about fruit
trees or used in the packing of dishes
Unless one knows positively as to the
pedigree of such packing it is far bet
ter to burn 1t on the spot than to put
it on the manure pile, where such stuff
is usually dumped. Where the latter is
done it is placed directly on the plowed
land of the farm and at once gains a
foothold. Care as to this matter in
season will often save much vexation
