FARM 10 EVERY Il CITIZENS.
Staggering Figures furnished by The
Last CeaslS.


Browns Farmer: Thousands Of men
and women in the cities, dizzy with the
grind and jar. of the mills and fac
tories. and feeling in the shadow OF
the giant capital, are nursing the
thought OF life on the farm. Yet the
farmer in the United States today Is
interested in one of the greatest az
gresations OF capital that ever was ap-
piled 10 single general line of hu-
man endeavor.
Ii is a staggering fact that the
country has $s.S74.6S4,S3S invested in
manufactures. But these almost in
conceivable. figures are 3 bagatelle
compared with $2o.5la O0l ,S3S that are
invested in the farms Of the United
States and the equipment OF those
farms. with at least as many farmers
as heads OF the farming family. in
clude Sal ,e0l, 456 acres OF land. The
average acreage Of each farm for the
whole country is 1866 acres-im-
proved and unimproved-and at the
average valuation OF $24.30 an acre
the average farmer has 1854 invested
in his lands alone.
Not only did the increase in the
number of farms for the ten years
following 1890 break all records in
the growth of the United States, but
the increase was out of proportion to
the increase in urban population. At
the present time. considering the stu
pendous capita! interested in farming,
it is striking fact that there Is a
farm for every 1873 persons in the
United States.
This statement shows that the av-
erage farm Of 1865 acres, valued al
1854. must support the farmers
family which finds for its customers
1873 persons. apportioned to it out OF
the population. But in this popula-
ton estimate the farmers family also
has been counted, until, if the family
averages FIVE in number. the real basis

THE JUDICIAL WRANGLE.

The endeavor 70 elevate the supreme
cour, of this state and to preserve the
integrity of the bench has resulted in
scramble among those who were
loudest in their pretensions of re.
form few weeks ago for the first
plum likely to drop from the patron
age tree. The scramble naturally
occurs in the First judicial district
where the successor Of Judge Fisk is
10 be appointed.
The situation at this time with the
events which lead up to the present
condition can be briefly told. When
it was found that Judge Fisk had been
elected TO the supreme bench, Judge
Knauf at once determined to tender
his resignation. At that time it was
thought that his reason for doing this
was that he held the appointment on
the supreme bench because he was the
candidate OF the republican party,
and morally every one knew and
recognized the fact that he held the
same subject to the decision of the
voters Of the state. But this was not
the only consideration.
The Evening Times is informed by
source that It has every reason to
believe is reliable, that Judge Morgan
has exe1 fed his influence TO bring
about an adjustment of the troubles
which have practically put the
supreme court out of use since last
July. Judge Morgan was prompted by
the highest and most honorable mo-

the facts of the case. Lincoln street,
in Boston, for instance. might now
commonly be supposed to be named In
honor Of the great President. But a
suitable inscription would recite the
fact that the name was given on such
a date in honor of Levi Lincoln, gov
ernor of the commonwealth, etc. On
School street the inscription would be
to the effect that the first public Latin
school in America stood there. In
such ways the streets of a town could
be made veritable book for the pub.

might read. These tablets could be
given attractive shape, as simple or
as ornate as desired, and perhaps
sign, as street signs are. Or, where
a street bears the name Of a person
of note. the tablet might include me-
dallion portrait in low relief. The
thoroughfare itself would thereby
more fully serve the function of a
commemorative monument. Inscrip-
tons might at first be fixed in tenn
porary shape. gradually to be pro-

INDEPENDENT SHIPPERS
OF NJ. p. MUST ORGANIZE

tive that all grain stored in Wisconsin
must be subjected to q Wisconsin in
spection.
After giving these reasons for clos
ing the Great Northern Superior ele-
vators as public warehouses the rail-
road officials offered to lease any one
or all of their elevators to an indepen-
dent organization Of shippers. Il such
an organization was formed and wos
CAPABLE of handling the elevator. In
this way North Dakota shippers would
be enabled to handle thir own grain
at the terminal point and dispose OF
1t to the eastern millers In such q con-
ditiOn as might seem most advanta-
geous to them This would do away
with the d0ctoring and mixing OF the
wheat about which there 10 80 much
complaint on the part Of both shippers
and milfers.
The railroad officials offered to make
the lease on most liberal terms. the
rental charged to be such AZ would
pay about four per cent on the amount
Of money invested In the elevator.
That the bankers looked favorably
upon this plan suggested by the Great
Northern officials is evidenced by the
fact that they have come home deter
mined to do all in their power to form
an organization of shippers.
We intend to get as many Of the
independent shippers together as pos
sible," said Mr.. Macfadden, "and will
try to have them organize 90 that
some plan may be developed for 1eas-
ing one Of the elevators in Superior.
I'VE will assist the farmers and
shippers in forming such an organize
ton and then will let them make their
own arrangements for the lease Of the
elevators.
There is no great hurry about the
matter as the elevator Is leased to A.
D. Thompson until next August, but
it Is probable an organization of the
shippers will be effected when the Tri-
State Grain Growers association
meets here"
1t is said that If the Wisconsin Off
Gals will consent to the operation of
both Minnesota and Wisconsin inspec-
ton at Superior, the greatest wheat
market Of the world can be built up
at that point and that all the railroads
will cooperate.

THE HALF DEAD NAN.

The suggestion of the Evening Times
that the secretary of the Commercial
club should be a man of progressive
ideas and abundant energy, seems to
have caused that official to assume
rather belligerent attitude towards
this paper. The suggestion was made
not for the expression of any petty
spite against the secretary. but be-
cause of the need of such a man as

The junior democratic daily gave its
readers mild surprise yesterday when
i, announced that Frank ". Schla-
berg would demand a recount of the
votes in the second commissioners dis
trict in this county. The greatest
surprise lay IN the fact that the votes
have not been counted at all at this
time and no one knows what the re-
suit will be until that is done.

WALLACE BADLY FLOODED.
Caused by Tailings Obstructing River
Channel

Wallace, Idaho, May 29.-Barten-
ders wearing rubber boots while serv-
ing booze was common spectacle
yesterday in the lower portion of town
where the flood was high.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
the river gang worked diligently to
save the lower part OF the city from
what at times threatened to be a dis
astrous flood. The tailings banked
up beneath the sixth street bridge,
almost blocking the channel. Water
poured over the bridge into the entire
lower portion OF the city, the railroad
tracks were overflowed a foot and the
Northern Pacific platform, station
and freight house were flooded.
As last resort the floor Of the
bridge was taken up and the string
ers raised to give the water room to
flow through; then about so heavy
charges of dynamite were set off in
the bed of the stream just below the
bridge to start the tailings moving
downward. This work relieved the
situation considerably, so that the
conditions are much improved this
morning.

THREE JAPANESE DROWNED.
Were Under Arrest for Dynamiting
the Snake for Fish.

Boise, Idaho, May 29.-W. \. Ste
phens, state game warden, reports
the drowning of three japanese in
the north fork of the Snake river on
Friday while attempting to escape
from fishermen who arrested them
for dynamiting fish. There are 100
laps working on the Marysville road,
short distance above ST. Anthony.
They like fish, and whenever they
want some they slip out, drop a stick
of dyamite into the stream and kill
large numbers.
The practice of the Japanese be-
came known to fishermen. and plans
were laid to catch them. stephens
arranged that any fisherman catching
Japs at work with dynamite should
hold them until he could turn them
over to n deputy warden.
The stream was watched for long
time before the opportunity was af-
forded to make an example of the
Japs. Finally, on Friday, the fisher
men caught six of them in the act of
dynamiting fish. He promptly placed
them under arrest, but the entire six
made dash for liberty, jumping into
the river in their effort to escape.
Three managed to get across, but
the other three were carried down
stream and drowned.

OREGON LACKS ADVERTIS-
ING IN THE EAST,
Settlers Looking for just Such Land
as Umatilla County Offers, Pass
Through to Eastern Washington
and Idaho-Iowa Man With Large
Family Regrets That He Had Not
Heard of Umatilla County.

Washington is securing an excel
lent class of people this spring
through judicious advertising of her
resources. Every day homeseekers
pass through this city bound for east
ern Washington points which have
been thoroughly advertised in the
farming districts in the central states.
This morning C. H. Stewart and
family, consisting of wife and six
children, of Atlantic, Iowa, passed
through Pendleton on his way to Pa
louise City, from where he will go into
the ,foothill district of northern Idaho
to purchase tract of range land,
where he can conduct a small stock
and hay ranch. He had the money
with which to buy a tract of land and
had purchased a ticket to Palouse
City because Of an advertising circular
telling him of the real estate oppor-
tunities in that district.
When he was told that just such
land as he desired could be purchased
in the south part of Umatila county,
at very reasonable prices, he regretted
range to stop off here, but his ticket
limit was about expired and he was
compelled to so on to his destination
without looking over that promising
section of Umatilla county where the
very land he is seeking could be Sc
cured.
He said he had never heard of
Umatilla county until he reached
Idaho, where he met some one on the
train who told him of the Umatilla
county wheat belt and alfalfa districts.
He was in touch with the Hartman
advertising agents at Omaha and
Chicago but received no literature
concerning Umatilla county from them
for they had none to distribute.
Other instances of this kind are
noticed every day. People who are
looking for just what Umatilla county
has to offer are passing through to
Washington and Idaho because those
sections are more thoroughly adver-
tised.

ed to this section and afforded the
native fishermen a profitable field of
employment.
Not in the history of these waters
has the fishing been so unsatisfactory
as this year, the catches of carp. ale
wives and menhaden not being one
fifth as large as in other years. Many
fishermen, who recently bought ex-
pensive nets and boats, have disposed
Of them because Of the failure of the
fishing. The constant churning OF the
water by the rapidly revolving pro-
pellors ef the numerous power boats
plying in the bay 1t Is believed, have
disturbed the fish to such an extent
that they have deserted the waters of
the bay. From other parts of the
coast of Long Island similar reports
have been received and the fisher
men entertain no hope of improve
ment in the future.

under consideration for some time,
but not until recently has there been
a satisfactory solution of the vexa-
tious problem attained.
This solution has been arrived at
by DR.. w. ]. May, in the application
of the new and appropriate name of
"Radium Springs"
While Haines is a good name and
a good little town, the name is feat
ureless. 1t endows the place with no
especial advantage. The town is in
the heart of the best portion of Pow
der river valley and with no leading
feature would be the name under any
name. But the feature that is going
to lead in the upbuilding of Haines
henceforth is the Hot Springs sana-
torium which will soon be in readi-
ness to open its doors to the public.

Austin, Texas, May 29.-Several
hundred nutgrowers and others inter-
ested in the growing of nuts are as
sembled here in compliance with a
call sent out by E. NJ. Kirkpatrick,
with view Of forming the nutgrow-
ers of this state into permanent Or
ganization. This conference will last
two days and is expected to be of
great importance.
Many prominent agriculturists and
other distinguished men are in at
tendance and some highly interesting
addresses will be delivered during the
two days of the conference. The ses-
sion this afternoon will be devoted to
the task of organization. Then
number of important subjects having
direct bearing upon the growing of
various kinds of nuts will be discuss
ed. At the meeting tomorrow the
question of affiliating the new organ
ization with the Farmers Congress,
will be considered.

And so so it is good bye Haines, says

of that thriving Baker county village

change the name of the place to RAJ

tion has been circulated and sent to
Washington to have the name of the
postoficef changed. Hereafter you

proceeding the Haines Record says:
While the town of Haines seems
destined to lose the name by which it
has been so favorably known to the
business world, the fact seems patent
that the change will be one of great
advantage to all concerned and is
meeting almost universal approval.
The question of change has been
