CIovers and Grasses.


 There is no country on the globe that ever became wealthy from an agricultural standpoint until they laid for their foun- dation and built upon grass, of course including clover. Grass regns supreme in this great country of ours, and the sections of the country having the most grass have the most wealth and pros- perity Nature has been lavish with her gifts in this respect and has given us grasses and clovers that are Suitable for all soils and sections, and if there is single variety of clover or grass known to man that cannot be grown on some of the soils of this country. the writer would be greatly pleased and take 1t as a special favor If he could be furnished with a sample of seed of such varieties. The farmer must determine by actual ex- perience what varieties are best suited for his soils and for his sections. One of the most important things for the farmers to remember is that soils should not be allowed to become exhausted of plant foods before grass is put into the rota- tion. They cultivate the land as long as it will produce other crops, and conclude that when the soil is too poor for any thing else that it will produce grass. Grass and clovers need plant food and need it in great aboundance. and the right kind of plant food should be ap- piled at the right time and in the right way, so as to secure the best results. The next thing to do in connection with grasses is to put
 Live Stock In Rotation.
 There should be live stock on every farm to eat the grasses and cloveIs, especially the clovers that draw vast

HIRE THREE MEN
TO SECURE ONE

E. T. Johnson, railroad con-
tractor, after a trip along the
North-Bank road, says he is sur
prised at the progress made, &C
cording to the Portland Telegram.
"In some places where heavy
rockword was necessary along the
Columbia river three mile stretches
are ready for the ties and rails"
he said, "and there are between
1000 and 5000 men at work along
the right of way.
Contractors nowadays figure
that it takes three men to do the
work Of one. In building grades,
three crews must be counted on
one at work, the second coming to
work, and the third leaving. Men
spend four days at work on the
average and eight days at the sa-
looms. AS these saloons are located
near the right of way they are al
ways convenient enough to lure
the laborers from their jobs.
Probably 10000 men have been
brought out from the East to work
On the road, while at no time have
more than 5000 been at work"

THE ATTORNEYS FOR THE
PRISONERS WERE PERMITTED

All the time the air was filled
with stories of the desperate char
acter of the prisoners and rumors
Of an attempted rescue. Elaborate
tales were told of schemes to dy-
Mantle the Jail at Caldwell or the
penitentiary. At Caldwell a large
force of guards was provided and
the pen was a fortress.
Then the attorneys for the pris-
oners got busy. They protested to
Judge Smith at Caldwell against
what they denounced as the inhu-
man treatment of the men at the
penitentiary. Another week, they
said, would probably kill Meyer.
Judge Smith came over to Boise
and held a conference with Gov
ernor Gooding, Attorney Hawley,
counsel for the state, and others.
He was told that the stories of suf-

HAVE NOVEL SCHEME.

The local pressmen have hit up
on a novel scheme to advertise the
fact to the members that the lines
and. parks. Of. the. Washington
Water Power company are on the
unfair list. The method adopted
by the pressmen is to give every
member of the union who lives
too far from his work to Justify his
walking a certificate which enables
him to use the company's lines,
the Union Park and COrbin Park
lines excepted. The members who
reside within walking distance will
not receive a certificate and will
be liable to be disciplined if found
riding on the cars of the local
monopoly.

TRACY, TIE OUTLAW
PLAYED IN THE EAST

Tracy the Outlaw" is being
produced this week at the ITALIA,
in New York. 1t Is a fierce melo-
drama, which has been played at
various times in the East, where it
has made a great hit with the gal
leryites. There is law in Oregon
against the production of this and
similar plays, and the law also
prohibits the sale of Tracy books
and other sensational literature. In
the drama Tracy is a much abused
and mistaken man, and is repre-
scented as hero. This is taking
dramatic license beyond all bounds.

Was There a Plan to Drive Meyer. Hay

Presumed to be Innocent Withdrawn
Are Now Better Treated and Com
Portable.

When the three men were arrest
ed in Denver they were taken, not
to Caldwell, Canyon county, where
the warrants were sworn out. but
to the state penitentiary in this
city. Their friends say that from
February 10 to March 5, except
during two trips to court, they were
virtually in solitary confinement.
They were given fewer privileges
than were accorded convicts serv-
ing terms in the prison. They were
allowed to talk to one another, but
not to other prisoners. Cells in
tervening between those of the min
ers were occupied by convicts.
They may have been detectives.
The exercise permitted the prison
ers was restricted.
Prison rules as to letter writing
were enforced for a time, but after
ward relaxed. Meyer suffers from
asthma and an attack was brought
on by a cold contracted in the pris-
on. He was compelled to wrap him
self in blanket to keep warm. The
men were at first denied news
papers, but the warden afterward
admitted them. He continued to
bar Socialist publications, however,
on the ground that their teachings
were dangerous to society and to
admit them would be serious vio-
lation of prison rules. Electric
lights in the cells were replaced
