"Far West" Only a Memory.

From the Reader.
We are no longer the far west. That
singularity passed from us when the
troops went out of the Golden Gate in 1893.
With the westward going of the flag be-
gan the westward going of industrial, COM
mercial and financial enterprise, and its
march has been across the ups and downs,
the shadows and lights of our beautiful
sequestration. Manila's fate had scarcely
been sealed when the great moneyed ele-
ments of whose fearsome ways we of the
Pacific coast, in common with the rest Of
the world, have only begun to learn within
the past year or so, inaugurated conten-
ton for points of vantage from which the
orient might be made tributary. They in
trigued for steamship privileges. They
bought lands and lots and marsh basins.
They furnished funds for street railway
and public utility bonds. They visited the
coast in their private cars and spent their
private fortunes in the coast hotels. They
saw that the western lands extent was
limitless, its development offerings as in
Vulnerable its hills and trees. And they
began to act In every sphere with that re-
sponsive, inventive and relentless genius
which has made the United States to live
as long In its one hundred and thirty years
as Rome lived in its thirteen hundred years.

Raking Grass After Moving.

From the Outing Magazine.
Some persons advise raking after each
moving. 1 do not. because the clippings
drop down into the grass and form a
mulch, which 1 consider OF great benefit.
They also help to fertilize the SOIL The
lawn that Is not moved often enough will
not look we'll after you have been over 1t
with the mower because there was growth
enough TO partially hide the sward upon
which 1t falls. This will wAther and turn
brown In day or two and greatly detract
from the beauty of the lawn. But if you
keep your lawn well mowed-and that
means going over II at least three times a
week In ordinary seasons-tiie amount clip
ped of at each moving will be SO slight
that there will not be enough of It to show.
Let the knife blades be set high enough to
leave at least two inches Of the foliage.

The Kind of Fiddler Bob Taylor Is.


We may add. with some risk Of giving
offence to the genial ex-governor and sena-
torial nominee. that he Is not much OF
fiddler of any kind. He can play a few
tunes well enough to keep EN- going at
country dance but the woods are full Of
better fiddiers than Robert. AS fiddler he
Is hardly the equal of Jim Taylor of VIM
chester, and Jeems Is no Ole Bull or Pagan
mi. though he does manage to conseeutively
assemble most of the notes in .'Cracklin'
Bread. Arkansas Traveller" '-Natchez
Under the Hilr' and "Old Gray Hoss Came
Tearing Down the Wilderness" In his
earlier days Bob officiated as fiddler at a
few puncheon floor shindigs In the Watauga
settlement, but he can talk OF the fiddle
more eloquentiy than he can play It. II
he should object to this statement we are
ready to withdraw It

things as this have been going on?'' he
asked.
well, where do you suppose that
some of those fellows got their twenty
five? OF course, it's been going on,
and a whole lot more besides" came
the crushing reply. and Hughes went
outside to get some fresh air.
The most important giveaway is
credited to Jim German. who arrived
at the headquarters with a batch Of re-
turns, returns which came too late to
brighten up things any.
There were twenty-five more votes

learning of the narrow margin by
which Brown had been defeated.

The meddlesome grand jury kept In

have been elected" a remark which
none contradicted

There was considerable anxiety dis
played among the candidates for Rep
from the Fourth, the early
returns showing that the election OF
one and possibly two Democrats was
probable. Castro was particularly wor- |
ried, fearing that the 'talso ran" flag |
was going to fall to him. He watched |
Kaleo's returns almost as sharply as |
he did his own and never showed any |

ON HIGHEST
AUTHORITY
RooseveIt's Ideas Agree
With the Hawaiian
Land Policy.

'|Here is something from President
| Roosevelt which is exactly in line with
what we have been preaching here, "
Land Commissioner Pratt said yester-
| day as he indicated a passage in the
President S letter to the Irrigation
| Congress.
| ''What the President says there
| about the amount of land that should
| be sufficient to support family in the
mainland sections irrigated under the
| ciple we have adopted here in allotting
agricultural lands. The only difference
is that there the lands are irrigated by
the Federal Government, while here
the Territorial Government makes a
forest reserve above the lands to con-
serve the water supply. Then the set
tier can fume the water down to his
land from the forest reserve.
"Those people here who have been
crying out for the Federal land law
here, thinking it would ensure the set
tlement of all the public lands at once
by bona fide homesteaders, should read |
what the President says about the pre-
caution that must be taken against |
speculation in lands reclaimed by the
government.
''Also those who are fighting for
homesteads of one hundred acres or
more of best cane land under cultiva-
tion ought to make note of the Pres
ident's remarks about the amount of
reclaimed land which should suffice to
support a family on the mainland. 1t
will be seen that he puts a closer limit
on a homestead than we have been do
ing here
"President Roosevelt mentions ten
year payments for mainland reclaimed
lands, while the terms made in Hawaii
are fve-year payments.
THE PRESIDENT 5 WORDS.
Following are the remarks by Pres
ident Roosevelt to which Mr. Pratt re-
ferred:
1.-The pressing danger just now
springs from the desire of nearly ev
-ry man TO get and hold as much land
as he can. whether he can handle It
proftably or not, and whether or not
i is for the interest of the community
that he should ave it.
.'The prosperity Of the present irri-
gated acres came from the subdivision
of the land ami the consequent inten-
sive cultivation. With an adequate
supply o. water, farm OF FIVE acres

There was plenty of plain speaking
at the Republican headquarters during
the receipt of the election returns, and
charges of knitting, treachery and neg
iect were openly made as the figures

more often the attacked. Ben Fabian
and Charley Costa were severely ar
raigned for the failures they had made
III the precincts supposed to be in their
control, and the example set by Sam
Johnson in delivering his block of votes
was pointed out by one after another
of the workers as the way the thing
ought to have been done.
But even Sam Johnson did not es-
cape in the general game of recrim-
inatfon.

ELEcTING OFFICERS.
rhe Present Method Consumes Much

rhe Present Method Consumes Muci,
Tizne--Improvement Suggested.
Much valuable time is lost in the
grange by the usual method Of elect
Ing officers. In the state grange time
Is more valuable than in the county or
subordinate grange, and yet it not in
frequently occurs that a day or more
must be given over to the election. 1t
would seem that some method might be
devised to lessen the time for this or
der of business. The New York state
grange will try the blanket ballot sys-
tenn this year. The titles of the offices
to be filled will be printed on the bal
lots, with blank lines opposite each for
writing in the voters choice. The full
list of names is to be voted on the first
ballot If any candidates fail to re-
ceiye majority on the first ballot new
ballots are distributed and votes taken
until all the offices have been filed.
This system is a time saver in two
ways. First, it is almost certain that
several candidates will be chosen on
the first ballot; second, the grange
may go about other business while the
telIers are canvassing the ballots. as
they cannot where each candidate is
voted for separately, and the vote Is
called out by the tellers as canvassed.
Those who insist on the present meth
cd in vogue in the national grange
and in many state oranges where the
announcing of each vote as canvassed
gives all present an opportunity to
check of the same and thus prevent
errors will not be in favor of the blan-
ket ballot, but these are few when
compared with the many who will
favor it on account of the saving in
time and who are willing to trust to
the honesty of the tellers.
There are two or three practical
methods of canyassing the blanket
ballot. Each Office may be canvassed
separately by placing in different piles
the ballots cast for the different CAN
didates for a given Office. Take first
that of master. Place all ballots for
the same candidate in a pile by them
selves and then count the ballots each
receives; then canvass for overseer,
and so on through the list. But bet
ter plan, because it saves more time,
is to have either four or six tellers,
who should work in pairs, the one an
nouncing each candidates vote and
the othes recording 1t. Each pair will
canvass a different candidate. No. 1
pair will take master, and as fast as
they reaord the votes they pass the
ballots to No. 2 pair. who will canvass
overseer. They count and record and
Immediately pass the ballots along to
No. 8 pair, who canvass lecturer, and
so on until completed. The tellers need
not stop to make footings, but as soon
as each Office is canvassed the record
should be passed to the clerk of the
canvassing board, who will make the
footings and announce the result to
the grange. This he may do when the
entire ticket is completed or as soon as
each Office is canvassed. The latter
method serves to interest the grange
if it is not otherwise engaged.

Never hurry the laying ducks. 1t
usually Injuries them, sometimes seri-
ously When handling ducks never
hold them by the wings.
When sickness attacks ducks it is
useless to doctor. The best remedy for
duck ailments is plenty of sliced raw
onion in the mash and an absolutely
dry, soft bed.
When you desire Runner ducks for
egg production have four to five ducks
with an unrelated drake. Two ducks
and one drake usually produce too
large a percentage of brakes, and they
don't pay to fatten.
Ducks should never be permitted to
run with fowls. They both do best in
pens by themselves.
When fowls and ducks are allowed
to drink from the same vessel look out
for disease.
