W1akeld Scot, attorney, wen
known fhros1g tie State, has
dlsappeafea Sd his wife and
friends are concerned! All efforts
so far to lOcate l.m lave been futile:
Mr.. Soft left the city Friday
incoming and the ony clue as to his
whereabouts IS the purchase ok d

station here for Cincinnati.
The incidents connected with bis
departure STROUD his leaving with
more or less mystery That mons
ing he was sitting IN . rocker at his
home IN the jacobs building and
asked Mrs. Scott for a suit Of
clothes he wished to take TO the
Clarssburg Pressing Company's Ps-
Enlistment ON Third street to get
cleaned and pressed. Mrs. Scott
brought the suit ont and laid it
down BY q snft case BY his side and
then went into another room. Re
turning IN 4 few minutes, she found
him gone. He had taken the
clothes and his cane but not the SUIT
case.
Not uDtil the nett day was in
quiry made about him, when it was
learned be had purchased q ticket
for Cincinnati Just before No. 5 ran
Friday morning. It was ne1t
learned he went to the pressing es-
tablishment Friday morning and in
ouired for an overcoat he had left
Two. weeks prior to have cleaned. He
went out and returned In q short
While with . nav suit case, which
he packed his clothes in, and then
LEFT there.
s It appears he went at once TO the
depot, purchased die ticket and
boarded No. 5. his wife was not
awaare Of his intention 10 leave the

Before leaving tfht morning he

Ible comment concerning the trans
action:
Barbour county is to have but
one Democratic paper, hereafter:
The Philippi Plaindealer has been
purchased BY Mr.. Polling, owner Of
the Barbour Democrat, and the two
papers will be consolidated Just
what has happened in this case via
almost invariably occur when an
attempt is made to run more news
papers in one county than the pat
ronage to be had will Justify There
was never any reason for more than
one Democratic newspaper in our
neighboring county above named,
and what has followed was but the
inevitable result with more or less
Of a, financial loss to both. publish
ers. The Plaindealer under the
editorship Of Mr.. Granville Taft
was a very creditable newspaper and
ably edited, but there was not
enough patronage to sustain the pa
per and the proprietor did the next
best thing left to do, and that was
to turn it over to his competitor.
The Sentinel regrets to see Nr.
Taft 60 out of the newspaper busi1;
ness. It is not likely; though, that
be will long stay out. Jon .a1g

running a gold standard candidate
on q free silver platform.
With this history in mind there
can be no doubt that Mr.. Bryan ex.
poets and intends not only to be the
candidate Of his party in 1908 but
also to shape its platform. He has
put forward government ownership
and operation of railroads as his
idea of what the paramount issue in
the next campaign should be. BE
is shrewd enough to profess now
that he does not want to force it on
his party, but if the Democrats
should elect majority Of the Con-
gressional candidates this year OF
should make anw substantial gains
he would Immediately claim the re-
suit as an endorsement Of his new
issue. He would. sweep Senator
Bailey, Senator Daniel and all the
other States rights conservatives
from his path and force the adop-
ton of a platform containing his
government ownership plank and
embed ying all of the other strange
and un-American theories of gov
eminent that he may yet have in re
serve. IN contrast with this picture
iof a party ruled BY d single man
who viii tolerate no diisapproyal Of
his views the Republican party
stands for basic principles and ideas
from whiehit has not #avered since
its foundation They have been
forced upon it by no man They
are believed in by all Republicans
and yet the creed of the party is
flexible enough to permit of differ
.ences Of opinion as to details and
as to the wisdom or unwisdom Of
particular measures that do not IN
yolve fundamental principles with
out putting those who differ outside
Of the pale of the party. For
instance, Representative Mccall
and Representative McC1eary are
none the less Republicans because
the former believes that protection

Some Of Ale Democratic conven-
lions this year IN this state were
wise enough to remain silent ON the
tax questions, while others con
demned the new system IN general
terms, but gave no reahon for the
faith that is IN them. The Latter
viii find at the end of the cam
padgn that the people VIII know
the lesies are low and that every
dax payer has ascerthined what bis
tsxes are for the year. With this
knowledge he viii compare bis
taxes this year with what they were
IN 1904 and what The anti-tax re-
formers claimed they would be.
With this Fbtle problem solved We
all find the results any thing but
satisfactory To the political party
that denmnees the new tax laws.
All the many farmers IN the coun-
II, as well as small property hold

Good Packing Is the Secret.

This is not the first time reference
is made to the above subject in these
columns. Both in the editorial pages
and in the horticultural department
The Ranch has tried to impress upon
it's readers the very paramount i'm
portance of properly grading the ap-
pies intended for the market, and
then packing them snugly and evenly
as to size in clean new boxes. Some
of our readers have taken issue with
us, claiming the manner of packing
has nothing to do with sales, but that
the commission men themselves are to
blame, that they are dishonest as a
whole, etc. From their letters it could
be readily seen that those writer's did
not know what good packing was, be-
lieving that their way was the only
right one and insinuating that the
commission men did not know any
thing about packing or grading of fruit.
We are sorry for those misguided
growers, and hope they may learn
something from the very instructive
article in this issue from the pen of
A. d. Dunbar, of Sunnydale, King

The caterpillar scare is again being
worked up among those who have
trees or shrubbery, and the measures
suggested for it's determination in
many cases are so drastic that it
seems to us the caterpillars might as
we'll be left alone and allowed to do
the work of destroying the trees as
to try some of these remedies. They
will destroy the caterpillars, sure
enough, and with them you may count
ON seeing some of your fine trees
die, too. In this issue our horticul
tural editor tells what should be done
now to stop the ravages of the pest.
Whatever is done, the work should be
done well and every one in commu-
nifty should join hands in the attack.
Attention should also be directed to
the underbrush through the timber
in the vicinity of your fields or or
chards, for there may be found cater
pillars in greater numbers than you
imagine. The writer was through some
underbrush the other day, and for d
distance of about half a mile saw
nothing but small white tents on the
tiny branches, every tent full of wrig-
Cling little caterpillars, which by this
time are eating up foliage and doing
other damage to their hearts content,
as well as laying the foundation for
even greater broods next season.

in the price of Malthoid roofing or
other of the company's products.
G. G.. Morse e Co., dealers in seeds
at 1856 Sansome street, were caught,
but how badly, we are not informed.
The companys seed farms and ware

not damaged.
The Chas. H. Lilly Co.'S branch in
San Francisco suffered, but as the
company has it's main offices and
warehouse in Seattle and a large

orders has not been materially him
dered.
The Petaluma Incubator Co., whose
offices and factory are at Petaluma,
Cal. had a branch office in San Fran
cisco where a large stock was carried
While suffering the destruction of this
stock the factory will be able to
fill all orders, the earthquake that
was general throughout the state not
having damaged it. In addition to
carrying large stock in San Fran
CISCO the Petaluma Incubator Co. has
a warehouse at Indianapolis, Ind,
where they carried a large stock and
from which all eastern orders will be
filled.
The G. w. Price Pump Co., makers
OF gas engines and pumps, write that
their shops and office in San Francisco
were totally destroyed, but they i'm
mediately opened temporary office
in Oakland. They have already Sc
lpctp ed q site for thair Dow works and
will be in running order again very
soon. In the meantime they will draw
from their stocks at Visalia and Los
Angeles to fill orders.

ately opened an Office at Oakland and
announce they will soon be in shape
to handle business as before.
