Fer the sake of supplying definite
and absolutely reliable information in
regard to every square mile Of land
in the 3,622,933 which compose the
area Of the United States of America,
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau Of
Soils Of the Department Of A.
ture, will spend eighteen years ALL.
at least 100000. When the work
OF the Bureau of soils has been COM
pleted, it will be possible for a man
intending to purchase a farm to write
to the Department of Agriculture, and
secure from that department a detail
ed map OF the section In which hlA
farm Is located, together with tNe-
scription of the section. Then by look.
Ing up his intended purchase on the
map and consulting the descriptive
booklet, he can determine to a nicely
its value. The map will show by diff.
erent colors the nature Of the soil,
while the descriptive booklet will tell
its value which has been determined
by examination of the soil, study of the
railroad facilities, and the exsmina-
ton Of the markets and other qualify
ing conditions. The soil maps and
booklets will enable many farmers
who have been only partially success,
full, to learn wherein they have failed
by trying to raise crops unadapted to
the nature of their lands, and will in
struct them as TO what crops are best
suited to their farms. 1t will instruct
them also as to the best methods Of
cultivating soils of different kinds.
While the examination of soils has
been carried on for perhaps a hundred
years by laboratory methods, the pres.
ent investigation is along entirely diff
ferent and far more practicable lines
The soils division was established ar
a separate bureau of the Department
OF Agriculture on July l, 1901, and
since that time its force has been In
creased more than twelvefold. Up to
December 81, 1904, the bureau has
mapped SS,855 aare miles, In small
patches scattered ger the whole Unit

eighteen years mot will be required

Mrs. No. replied, through her attor- neys, Of course, that she has no partic- ular love for the name, James Brown Potter, or the man who had given it to her. but that it had become valuable to her for the reason that she has made a great reputation for it.

RIGHT WILL PREVAIL

In spine of all the Commons in con gress and all the tories in Alaska tiiS district vii get territorial government, and that leio,e very long. The esple of the country, in rapid y increasing numbers, are being male 10 understand that Alaskaus are being denied the rights of Americans. When that fact shall become generally known, Mir. Cannon and all the others will vote aye upon 8 bill permitting them to have the enjoyments of their rights. They will not dare to refuse.
 One source of influence after another in the nation at large is lending its aid to the people of the north in their con test for their American rights, thus giving encouragement to those engaged in the battle for freedom and impress ing them with the fact that victory will always come in the end to those who fight for the right. Several of the large daily newspapers of the country have taken up the cause and are devot' ing their energies toward the extension of American principles of government to Alaska. One of these is the Chicago Chronicle, a leading republican morn ing paper of the great central metropO' lis. It has contained seversl leaders on the subject since congress convened h a recent issue it said:
 'I5 is claimed that there are now 6O, 900 white men in Alaska. The claiu may be excessive, but if there were even halfthe number stated and if the! were williug-as they are-to bear tht expense of a territorial government, | is hard to see why they should be de ried the privilege so long as we aecort it to the scattered miners of Arizon' and the haltbreed sheepherderS of New Mexico. The success achieved iu th' process of governing Alaska as 8 sorI of satrapy since the Yukon gold discov cry is not such as to argue for the con tiuuauce of the system, Alaska oughl to be a territory and not crown col oDy."

NOT FAIR Oregon FOOtbAll Champions
 Not College Men

Disclosures that have been made since the close of the football season discredit the claim of the Oregon Agri- cultural college to the coast cham pionship, It has been discovered that only two men in its eleven are regular students of the college. Some of them are entered as students in a physical culture class and others are not so we'll protected as that. It is said they were supported by business men who sought to advertise the college.
 On the other hand, the Washington university team, defeated by the Ore gonisns Thanksgiving Day, were all reg uIarly enrolled and carrying success fully at least F hours work and several were taking Is hours in engineering, which is regarded as the heaviest course in college.
 Commenting upon the Washington team, the Seattle Times pays the fol lowing compliment to Zee Pullen, o Skagway, who is a member of the Washington eleven:
 "Fhe registrars report for the las month of the football season showed the percentage of dehnquences anC conditions among the football squad tC be practically the same as that of thu students in general. Two of the bes players, Pullen and Grim, are carrying unusually heavy courses and both ar regarded as the best students of thei classes, and neither has ever been cred tied with delinquency"

 Overwork, strains, cold and other causes injure the kidneys, and when the activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor aud urinary ills come, aLd there is an ever incrs casing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease, There Is DO real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney ill.
 Mrs. O. D.

My back pained me severe ly ard my suffering was increased if 1 did any work about the house or strain ed in any manner. I used plRsters and consulted physicians but the benefit I obtained was not permanent l read about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box.

possibility Of a return to the old system
of voting by a party emblem. The
House will probably pass several bills
changing the ballot law, but they viii
have great difficulty in getting through
the Senate, which seems by a large ma
jority to be opposed 10 all these meas

like to see a law passed which would
make a uniform ballot for the whole

and rather favors the Wilson bill as a
general law than any other system.

JAIL PRISONERS To
WORK ON ROADS
Senator Browns Practical Suggestion
for Saving Money TO The County.
HIS IDEAS WILL BE PUT TO USE.
By the Introduction and Passage OF
aBiIl In the LegisIature-The Law
VIII Give Good Roads at Small
Cost.

Senator Brown, Of Garrett, has a
plan, which he may embody in bill by
which the counties or some of them
could get the benefit of the Shoemaker
Roads law without making any large
appropriations in money. Mr.. Brown
has ascertained that the State High
ways Bureau is willing to accept the
equivalent of the county appropriation
in road material in lieu of cash.
He thinks that the counties might
use prisoners who are serving terms in
county jails to breaking stone or col
lecting gravel or other road material,
which could be taken by the Highways
Bureau at a certain valuation instead Of
money. This plan, Senator Brown be-
lieves, would be of benefit in more ways
than one. Itwould benefit the prisoners
to give them healthful outdoor work, in
stead of keeping them locked in cells,
and it would also relieve the taxpayers
of the support Of many Migrants and
others who plan to go to Jail in order to
get supported without having to work
for living.

LITTLE SERMONS. NO. IL.
BY UNCLE JAY BEE.

Pilgrims Zionward cannot do better
than walk with Bunyan occasionally, a
day or two, for this traveller has a mar
vously fine appreciation Of all the condi-
tons which makes for success or failure
by the way
Note how carefully he starts. Amid
all the mental and emotional excitement
incident to the undertaking, he is care
full to go in at the straight gate Before
this lay the slough of dispond: a trying
place. But he will pass not one or two,
but twenty slouths rather than tumble in
over the wall at the wrong place.
Note how meekly he accepts right
counsel. A ready ear for truth, saves
him from much error Better ten falls
in the narrow way" than all ease on
the broad. "
His choice of company is also wise.
Churlish words put none away from
him; but sticking to the truth sits them
well. No crowd attends him; but the
few that go with him, help him well.
And what good mistakes he makes,
He is human and he owns it. He might
have stopped short Of the dangers: then
he had failed, instead of falling. He
might have gone round the dangers,
That would have taken him out Of
the narrow way. The Helper is found
only along the right way.
See too, how he conquered The mud:
later on it was slick tongues and slips.
Now the lions are not in, but near the
way. Later it is Apollgon, and yet
stronger foes, even the giant and his
castle. And this last, by stepping aside
Only once out of the way and near to
perishing Back to the road Pilgrim,
and on!
Earring forward thus, he gets to Beu-
lab, through the River, and in at the
Gate.- home.

COURT AWARDS SMOUSE S9.OO1.
Decision in Suit InvOlving Cunningham
Tract in Garrett County.

A decision was handed down last Fri
day by Judges Henderson and Keedv in
the suit of Thomas F. Smouse against
William A Mogart, Tor $4,000, the
court deciding in favor Of the plaintiff,
awarding him S9,O01. Mr.. Mogart.
through his attorneys. ex-Judge Ferdi-
nand Williams and DeWarren H. Rev
nolds will take the case to the Court of
Appeals. Mr. Smouse claimed that he
put Mr. Mogart in a deal in coal and
timber lands in Garrett county, en-
braced in the Cunningham tract, which
MOgart sold in 1899. Smouse did not
have time to promote the matter, but
he claimed that he put it in Mogart's
hands on the agreement that Smouse
was to have half the profits. Mogart
was very successful in promoting it,
selling the timber to Jennings Bros
and the coal lands to the Roeblings of
Trenton, N. J. The court held that the
preponderance Of evidence showed that
Smouse was in the deal, Mr.. Smouse
producing several witnesses to show
that Mr. Mogart in conversation had
said that he would make Smouse a pile
Of money. At one time Mr.. Mogart
paid Smouse $75, which, it was claimed,
was binding evidence of some partner
ship. Smouse in the decision, is allowed
one half of one third of the profits on
the sale of the coal. The court said
that the statute of limitation would
have barred Smouse's claim, entirely,
were not evidence Of new promise adj
duced. Among the witnesses who tes-
titled in the behalf of Mr.. Smouse were
Daniel Shockey, J. J. Kaplan, George
Flick, of Washington, D. c.; S. F.
Shelley, Berkely Springs, W. Va;
George T. Brew, Ronceverte, W. Va,
and Joseph S. Bayard Harrisburg, Pa.
T. j. Peddicord, Of Oakland, and D.
James Blackiston, of Cumberland, are
attorneys for Mr.. Smouse.
