a GREAT FARCE.

The great farce of prosecuting
insurance criminals, as we'll as beef
and other great corporations still
goes merrily on, but so far the
prosecutions have been so few, il
any, that tired and disappointed
public have again taken up their
daily avocatlon, being fully satisfied
that none of those legalized robbers
and murders. for such men as when
they knowingly send out food for
the toiling masses, women and
children, old and young, fully
aware when they are shipping it
that It IS unfit for food. Yet not
one OF these scoundrels has been
punished so for nor are they likely
to be, though the evidence of their
gull, is beyond dispute. The poor
unfortunate devil who steals a plug
OF horse is very promptly run
down and justice melted out to him
unstintingly. But the man who has
defrauded and robbed his fellow
men, built palatial homes with their
ill-gotten COINS is allowed to escape
the strong arm Of the law, because
they have been liberable contribu-
tors to campaign managers. Is il
any wonder then that Socialism and
Anarchy is making rapid spread in
this fair land of ourp What can
the masses of the people expect
from the hands of these soulless
corporations, when they defy our
laws, and our courts, be it SAID to
their disgrace, do not punish them

to say, like the guilty parties in the
great New York Insurance steal,

THE STEEL TRUST ROBBERY.
And How The Government squanders
The Peoples Money.

Another characteristic Republican
stunt was pulled off last week that
shows conclusively how this adj
ministration works in the interest of
the people and the peoples pocket
books, in other words, "like the
old woman In Indiana kept tavern
like HI" The Navy Department
recently advertised for bids for the
armor plate for the two new battle.
ships, the Michigan and the South
Carolina. There were three bidders,
the Carnegie Steel Company, the
Bethlehem Steel Company and the
Midvale Steel Company. The two
hrst named are IN the Steel Trust
and the latter is AN independent
Company that was formed to fight
the Trust. Previous to the year
1900 the Trust had no competition
and 1t compelled the government,
the people, to pay it the sum ofss4s
per ton Tor armor plate. The Mid.
vale Company then was formed and
1t cut the price to S438 per ton,
and has been compelling the Trust
to come down in price ever since
until this last tilt between the steel
giants, the prices asked by each Of
them were: Carnegie Steel Comp.
any S3oa per ton; Bethlehem Steel
Company, antitrust, S34s per ton,
thus saving the government over
hall million dollars on the price
OF The two battleship as against the
two bids of the Steel Trust. But
what happens1 The officers of the
Steel Trust rush over to Washing
ton anil march down upon the Re-
publican Secretary of the Navy, the
aristocrat Mr.. Bonaparte, and tell
him that unless he gives them the
contracts for the ships they will
put their steel plants out of com
mission and throw all the skilled
workmen out of employment and
thereafter that in time of trouble they
will refuse to again put their plant
to work, that the government will
then be at the mercy of the Midvale
plant and that it then can charge
Just what they please, thus doing
just what the Trust did before
there was any Mildvale plant. And
what did this republican admins
tration dor
In the face of the fact that the
administration would be repudiat-
ing the honor and good faith of the
government, and would be doing
the Midvale Company rank Unjust
Ice not to give it the contract after
1t had taken its chances with others.
MIR. Bonaparte deliberately goes to
work and awards the Steel Trust
companies half of the contract for
the two ships, thus costing the tax
payers OF the country over a quarter
OF million dollars. This is abso
lutely indefensible and cannot be
explained away except that Teddy
the Great, the idol of the people
ordered that the contract be given
just in this way in order to paw
some of his campaign debts to the
people who helped put up the
money to elect him. That's why
they want a big navy, that's why
they insist on building battleships
and spending the peoples money
instead of buying submarine torpe-
do boats for coast and harbor de.
tense at one sixth and one tenth the
price. This administration prefers
to spend the peoples money by
giving to the Trusts that rob them
under the system of high protection.
Do the people like this sort of thing7
They keep on sending Republicans
to Congress.

ALFALFA GROWING
IN WILLAMETTE
CROPS YIELD FROM THREE
TO FIVE TONS PER ACRE.
One Man Is Seeding IS Acres Near
Corvallis-W. W. Cotton Prepares
Pamphlet on Alfalfa Growing I'm the
Western Oregon Countics-In Many
Places the Roots Attain u Length of
IL Feet.

The Corvallis Times gives the fol-
lowing account of alfalfa growing ex-
periments in the Willamette valley
counties:
Willamette farmers are going more
and more, to grow alfalfa. w. +.
Hamlin, who resides a short distance
over the Willamette from Corvallis
recently received 1900 pounds for use
In seeding a big field of alfalfa 1t
will be sufficient to SOW 60 acres,
which will give Mr.. Hamlin a total
acreage of 10 acres.
The seeding of the larger fields is
the result of experiment with a small
Ter one, containing IL or Is acres.
That one has been running two or
three years. From 1t, Mr.. Hamlin
has learned that he can cut two fine
crops of hay, and then have fine pas
ture in August, September and other
months when green feed is otherwise
unavailable.
The experience of Mr.. Hamlin is
the same as that OF Richard Kiger.
Mr.. Kiger of course, has been longer
a grower of alfalfa. He is one of the
pioneers in the alfalfa business in the
vicinity. He has 100 acres of 1t now
10 of which was put in for the same
reason that Mr.. Hamlin is now adding
TO his acreage-because experience
demonstrated the value of the crop.
Seventy-five acres of Mr.. Kiger's al
falfa yielded its first crop last eason.
The older field of 25 acres turned off
xyfa ot ha trof
cutting and afforded great pasturage
after that.
The experience OF other farmers es-
pecially those along the river bottoms,
has been similar. They render of in
terest experiments the Southern Paci-
fic are preparing for at this time.
That road is planning by the assist
ance of farmers to experiment with
20-acre tracts all along the lines of
their railroad. under arrangements to
be made with Paul Shoup, Worcester
building. Portland.
w. w. Cotton has prepared PAM
phlet on the subject of alfalfa produce
tion, based on his own experience on
his farm near Portland, which PAM
phlet can be secured of Mr.. Shoup at
the above address. There was recent
ly on display In a real estate office in
Corvallis. roots from alfalfa no less
than eight feet in length and the es-
innate is that there are roots IL feet
in length in the field from which the
sample was taken. They came from
the iield of Adam Radir, living across
the willamette.

INSPECTING STEAMERS.
Government Engineers Make Trip
10 Inland Empire.

Captain Edward S. Edwards and
George F. Fuller, United States in
spectors of steamboat engines and
hulls for the Willamette district, were
In Walla Walla yesterday for few
hours on their way to Riparia from
their headquarters at Portland, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin.
Both men are among the best
known steamboat men on the Pacific
coast and number their friends among
the marine men by the hundreds.
The inspectors have held their pres
ent positions for many years and in
that time have made a reputation of
efficiency for the district that has
placed 1t In the front rank with the
others in the United States.
In the year just passed only three
men lost their lives on steamboats, IN
the willamette district, and those were
not due to the inefficiency of the
service, but to the carelessness of the
men themselves.
No accidents have occurred since
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller have
been In office that reflected on the
inspection service and they have
earned a splendid reputation among
shipping men and companies, who
have vessels plying in the Willamette
district; besides earning the gratitude
of a great number of persons, who
found the steamers on which they
were travelling, properly equipped at
time of accidents.

SCHOOL LAND CANCELLED.
State Board Annuls Certificates on
$4,000 Acres.

After canceling the De Laittre
school land certificates yesterday, COW
ering $1,000 acres OF land, the state
land board made an order cancelling
about 40 certificates of sale of lieu
lands, aggregating 10000 acres, and
held by persons unknown to the board.
says a Salem dispatch.
These latter cancellations were
made because the holder of.the certi-
ficates was more than three years de-
linquent in his payments, and the
money already paid. amounting to
about $4,000, has been forfeited to the
state.
. Presumably, these certificates were
held by some man who found himself
liable to prosecution for land frauds,
and rather than disclose his identity
he let the payments become delin-
duent and thus forfeited his right to
the land. This lieu land was selected
in 1902 upon unsurveyed sections in
the proposed Blue mountain forest re-
serve. This reserve has not been Gre
ated and the sections were not avail
able as base at the time the selections
were made.
who, II anyone, got the money out
of this base is not known, for there
is nothing in the records to show. The
lieu lands were selected in various
parts of eastern oregon, chiefly in
klamath county.

ALIVE WITH PROSPECTORS.
Alaska Swarms With Advcnturcrs In
Mid Winter.

The Seward Gateway of February
10, which has Just reached the East
Oregonian, gives the following account
of the departure of prospecting outfits
for the far interior of Alaska:
About 80 men, 20 dogs and IL sleds
started for the Yentna district this
morning via the Alaska Central to the
end of the track. From that port
they will proceed by the usual trail
around the head of Turnagain Arm
and Knik Arm to Shushetna station
and from there up the river to the
creeks which are already alive with
prospectors.
A majority of the men who went
out this morning were employed on
the railroad until they accumulated a
grub stake. Others are prospectors
who have been in the interior before
and two or three were men who lately
came down from the Yentna. All were
we'll supplied with outfits Those who
were unable to secure dogs will pull
their own sleds.
Smaller parties have been going out
to the same region from time to time
for q month. Others are planning to

be about April 1. After that It will be
almost impossible to get through until
