TILLMAN VS.. ROOSEVELT.
Senator n President Disagree Ateut
Rate Bill Conference

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Whi!e the
debate on the personnel of the inter.
state m commission was ia
progress in the D today Mr.. Till
man took the floor to make a statement
in behalf of ex-senator Chandler,
which had been momentarily expected
since Senator Lodges statement last
Saturday to the senate Of the emphatic
denial OF some statements attributed
TO Mr.. Chandler by the South Caro-.
lima senator. Mr.. Tillman read the
portion of MIR. Chambers memoran-
dun of his conference with the presi.
dent, which has heretofore been given
to the public, prefacing it with a brief
statement OF his own, saying that on
Saturday the senate was startled and
mortified to hear the utterances of an
ex.member denounced on behalf of the
president as q "deliber ate and un-
qualified falsehood.' AS he had been
responsible for introducing the subject
which had caused the attack on Mr..
Chandler, he felt under obligations to
place him right on the record. TO
that end he read the ex-senator's
statement.
MIR. Tillman referred to the letter
addressed by the president to Senator
Allison. He said he hoped that Sen.
ator Allison would put the letter in
the record and that something would
be said in reference to the question OF
veracity.
Mr.. Tillman said the president was
ingenious and not ingenious. Mr..
Tillman declared emphatically that he
had never made any overtures to the
president. "This is Tillman speaking
now" he said, and a wave of laughter
went over the senate and galleries,
1.-The charge ! make" he said, lis
that the president is guilty Of bad
faith"
MIR. Tillman stated that he had never
sought an interview or any commune
cation with the president.
Senator Allison then said he haC
received a letter from the presiden'
and said he thought it ought to b
placed on the records of the senate
He had been waiting patiently for al
opportunity to present it but had no
had an opportunity. The letter wal
read.
When the words 81 saw the news
papermen in a mass were read
there was q roar of laughter in tn
senate and in the gallery.
AS soon as the presidents lette
and Mr.. Moody's letter had bee'
read, Senator Nelson moved to la,
the pending amendment on the table
This was carried by q viva voc
vote. taking the Lodge amendment an
collateral amendments with 1t. Sue
was the close of the Tillman.Presideu
incident.

No MORE CROP FAILURES.

There need be no more crop failures,
in the opinion OF the secretary OF agri-
culture. In fact. MIR. Wilson conf
IDENTIFY asserts thai there will be none,
and he is supposed to know more
about such matters than any other
man in the country.
In this prediction the secretary does
not take into account great calamities
such as floods or u wide area of freez.
ing weather in July, but early and
late frosts, drought and prolonged
rainy seasons, torrid heat and lack
of sunshine, grasshoppers, rust and
other pests and diseases are con-
sidered by him rs conditions which
the farmer may guard against and
then insure regular crops.
"There have been material improve.
ments in agriculture during the pres.
ent decade" said Secretary Wilson.
Important improvements have been
made in agricultural machinery which
are of great advantage to the farmers.
The department of agriculture has, by
experiments, demonstrated what it is
possible to do in preparing for eli
mate Auctu atoms in heat and mois.
ture and has made Q study of the
soils. 1t is not only possible, but it
is the general rule nowadays for the
farmer to study the soil he has to
work. and intelligently select the
crops best adapted.
"In 1910 the production per acre
will be twice as great as i, was in 1900.

The Government Manufactures Cement,
Scientific American.

SCientlhC American.
The government wants cement, and
wants it badly. With "a big irriga.
tion projects under construction, re.
curing hundreds of ands of
barrels of cement, engineers are find.
ing it next to impossible to obtain
anything like the quantity needed.
The unprecedented demand for this
commodity all over the west has al.
ready overtaxed the capacity of the
mills, and almost without exception
the governments requests for bids are
turned down. Apparently no manu-.
facturers west of the Mississippi are
able to supply new orders. In reply
to inquiries from the government they
state that owing to the unusual de.
mand, ley orders cannot be accepted
for several months to come. Recently
proposals were requested from eight
manufacturers and dealers in cement
for 1000 barrels required on an Idaho
project. Only one proposal was re-
ceived, and that was at a rate SO per
cent. higher than the firm would have
sold o few months ago. Still later
invitations for bids for several thous.
and barrels were sent to q dealers.
Again but one firm submitted q bid,
and this was nearly 80 per cent. higher
than the normal profitable rate OF sale
by this firm. Other attempts to pur.
chase cement have been similarly uu-
successful.
The reclamation service Is gravely
concerned. It has let contracts for
structures involving millions of dol
lars, and a failure to secure cement
as needed, entering as it does so
largely in the work, will be disas.
trous. Owing to the inaccessibility Of
many Of the government works, the
transportation of the cement is diff
cult and costly. This vas particular.
ly the case in Salt river valley in
Arizona, where the great distance
from existing mills and the expensive
wagon haul made the cost prohibitive.
After making thorough investigation
Of the cost of bringing in cement for
the Roosevelt dam and other struc'
lures, the government erected its own
mill, and for several months past has
been turning out daily hundreds o.
barrels OF tirst-class cement at a price
far below the cost of cement shipped
in. 1t is known that materials re
quired for manufacturing cement o:
good quality exist near several of thu
other projects, and priva ate parties
should embrace the opportunity to gt
into the business. From the presen
outlook, however, the g0vernmen
seems to have q choice of shipping
from the far eastern seaboard or from
Europe, or Of manufacturing its owl
cement.

| This increase will be due entirely to
the advance which the farmers are
making in the direction of selection
and methods. The accomplishment OF
the department in its work among the
farmers in bringing about this result
is Of sufficient importance to warrant
all the appropriations that have been
made during the last six years of it's
maintenance, but the work of the de-
partment has ~ stopped with in
creased acreage production. Agents
have been at work all over the world
searching for crops best adapted to
conditions existing in various sec.
tons of our wide expanse OF territory.
They have bought us crops which
blossom in the deserts, and now in
the arid tracts in parts OF the west
crops are being produced where 1t was
thought DOLLY ~rattlesnakes aud lizards
could thrive. Irrigation is doing
much to make waste land s:fertile, but
any experienced farmer, given an ab.
undant water supply, which he can
control. a produce good results.
What the agricultural department is
attempting is to overcome the natural
conditions, aud | think much has been
already done in this line. More will
be done.
"When | say there will be no more
crop failures l do not mean that every
seed each farmer plants will thrive
and produce" continued the secre.
tary. 1--WE may, however, safely
count upon sufficient crops to supply
our own needs and leave a surplus for
export.
"The farmers nowadays go about
their work with cool deliberation and
knowledge OF what they can accom-.
plish. They select the seeds OF the
crops which they know will produce
the best results upon the soil to be
guilty ated. Certain varieties OF corn
and wheat, for instance, require more
heat and moisture than others. When
the growing seasons are usually dry
and hot the farmer will not plant the
corn which the farmer where more
moisture is to be expected, would use,
Charming is fast becoming reduced
to a science, II it may be said that /,
has not reached that stage already,
Scientific methods now widely prevail
Deep blowing, soil investig alton, seeo

combine to assure the farmers at har
vest time of a fair reward for theil
toll and outlay. They have entrenchet
themselves to such an extent that dis
patches in the newspapers Of varia
tions in normal climatic conditions
during crop seasons will not cause
the apprehension Of crop failures q
in years gone by. There may be. an
probably will be poor crops in cer
tain localities, and l will not say thu
the crops this year will be as large a
last year, but l repeat, we will no
have what can be called crop fail
ures.'

were Ada, Bannock, Canyon, Fremont,

Four years later the State switched
and gave Roosevelt n plurality Of 29,-

county in the State, Fremont, which
gave Mckinley two plurality, giving
Roosevelt 259f plurality.
Frank r. Gooding was the candidate
for Governor when Roosevelt was the
Presidential candidate Gooding 8
plurality was 1855, or 11,61S less than
was given Roosevelt His was the low

A catarrhal condition Of the stomach
may spread TO the duodenum and then
continue through the large blic ducts into
the liver.
This partly obsjructs the bile ducts
and produces sluggishness of the liver.
Sometimes the ducts are so obstructed
as 20 produce a stoppage OF the bile, in
which case the bile Is Jnickeued and
forms into concret!ons called gall stones.
Bilious collie Is tho result.
Most cases OF bilious collie depend upon
catarrh of the liver. For this condition
purgatiyes are generally used. These
give temporary RELIEF, but do not cure.
The correct thing to do Is TO remove
the catarrh Then the liver rights itself.
Any one troubled with sluggish liver
should give Peruna a fair trial.
