RUN BY THE NATION.
Socialistie Experiment in Provinces Of
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-In March,
the American consul at Stanbridge
Quebec, made a short report to Wash
ington on Canadian cremeries. That
report attracted so much attention,
especially in the middle west, and
was the cause Of so many letters ask
ing for further information. that the
consul was directed to furnish further
details, which he has now done.
Beginning with 1897 the govern
ment began the management Of the
creameries Of the province Of Alberta
Previous to that time creameries had
been established at Calgary, Edmon-
ton, Innisfail and Red Deer but with
out success. The government stepped
in because it felt that the new indus
try ought to be encouraged and
financed until such time as it could
be made self-supporting, the Alberta
field being then new and sparsely set
tied Most of the creameries received
financial aid from the government, this
money being repaid at the rate of 1
per cent a year. Speaking of the con-
dition of the business at the present
time, the Canadian minister of ogri-
culture, Mr.. Fisher, says to the con-
sui:
TT can be asserted today that no
section of Canada has a better organ

GREAT ACTIVITY IN LEWISTON
CiIfax Cattle Are in Demand at Nearly
Double Last Years
Figures.

The livestock industry in the vicin-
ity Of Colfax. Wash. presents a more
encouraging outlook than for several
years. Cattle are In demand at nearly
double last years prices. Cows which
could not be sold at $12 and SIS
year ago now bring $40 to $40. Z. N.
Dawnen Of Wawawai sold 10 dry cows
for beef at $a4.s0 each. So many cat
tie have been shipped out Of Whitman
county during the past few months
that there are few large bands left
and 1t Is predicted that within q year
or two the county will have to import
beef cattle for home consumption.
Sheep. hogs and horses command
high prices and are in demand. There
have been heavy shipments Of hogs
from all points Of Whitman county
this spring. and farmers are raising
many more than in former days.

Poor Jacxra.3it.

With unexampled ardor and bravery
the entire brickyard force charged
Monday upon a lone jackrabbit that

POST FALLS DAM IS BLOWN UP
Thousand Pounds of Explosives Jars
Things Around New Electric
Power Plant.

With a terrific explosion resulting
from the use Of 165 kegs Of giant pow
der and 400 pounds of dynamite, the
old dam at Post Falls, just above the
new dam of the Washington Water
Power company, was blown up Friday
afternoon about 5 o'clock, says the
Spokane Chronicle.
Following the removal of the old
dam the water was turned on one of
the new water wheels at the COM
pany's new water power plant and a
huge electric power generator was
given its first trial.
General Manager Huntington stated
today that the removal of the old dam
and the initial trial of the new ma
chinery were successfully accom-
plished
The big explosion which removed the
old dam was one of the most spectacu-
lar events ever witnessed in this Sec
ton, and crowds gathered at a safe
distance to watch it. The enormous
amount of explosives used is said to
have caused the stone and timbers of
the dam to be thrown hundreds of feet
in the air. and it is stated some logs
were hurled over the new power
house, hundreds of yards away.

LINN COUNTY COYOTES COME HIGH
Every One Killed Costs Coyote Club,
Composed of Farmers, Ten
Dollars.

Catching coyotes now pays well in
Linn county, Oregon. The Linn Coun-
ty Coyote club, composed of residents
of the foothin region, where the little
beasts frequently cause trouble, pays
a reward of $40 for each scalp, and
the county court has now added
bounty of 81 per scalp.
NJ. A. Bruer of Sodaville recently
ran onto a coyote "hOme," in which
there were five young ones. and
reaped a harvest Of $55 with a few
well directed blows with a club. He
took eight scalps to the county clerks
office a few days ago to collect So in
addition to the $50 which had been
given him by the club.
Ten dollars seems a big reward, but
there are enough men in the club so
that the death Of a coyote costs them
only about Is cents each, and they are
glad to get rid Of the beasts at any
cost.

ventions were held and delegates in

AS the state central committee Is

thought to be extremely likely that -
