G. l.. Eslingcr, of Dodson, vas
in town Thursday buying farm
supplies. He with many others
is farming out there and has made
a ucces of it. He now has thirty
acres in cultivation and is putting
in more this year. He raised 81
bushels of milo maize to the acre
Just sodded in. Turnips he raised
a world of them, and sweet pota-
toes he grew 20 to the hill, Irish
potatoes do not do very well until
the ground is farmcd a year or
two. The Tennessee Triumph,
he says, grows very well, oats do
we'll and wheat he thinks will do
we'll, but little has as yet been
planted here. Corn grows well on
old land; June corn on which the
shuck grows tight and keeps the
weevil out. He raised radishes
out there that weighed 3 pounds
in 1894, the dry year. His turnips
weighed 5 pounds; and he raised
melons and other things galore.

Mlgnty uOO0 ADVICE.
Editor Independent:
It is amusing to see how the
agents uf the old gang are
squirming at present, looking
for an issue to use in the present
political campaign. The agents
Of the old gang know very we'll
that the voters are against the
state machine, Mckenzie, Hans
brough & Co., and are afraid to
declare themselves in favor OF
their bosses. II the members of
this old machine are such noble
characters, as they themselves
claim to be, it is funny that their
servants should be ashamed of
them, and be afraid to declare
themselves in their favor. Iheard
some rumors the other day to
the effect that the agents Of the
state machine are going to adopt
as a campaign issue anti-Murphy
and anti-State Machine. This
puts the state machine on the
same plane as Murphy and prac-
tically means this, that the
one is just as bad or good
as the other. 1t is hard for
us common people to un-
derstand how the hired serv-
ants of the machine can adopt
such a platform and at the same
time be honest with the people
which they claim to be.
This reminds me of the election
two years ago. We all remem.
Der how some OF those same peo-
pie followed Bossism and Muir
phyjsm and how strenuously
they worked against bosses. But
it is a matter OF history that
these same men went down to
the State Convention and al
lowed themselves to be complete
ly swallowed up by the only real
political bosses OF this state-Mc-
kenzie, Hansbrough 4 Co.
Consistency, thou art a jewel.
The fact is that the cry ''boss-
ISM two years ago was insti-
gated by those very bosses them
selves to down Murphy, not
because Murphy was crooked,
but because Murphy had grown
and wanted piece Of the pie
himself. The fact is that there
were too many pigs for the teats
and some OF them had to be
killed off, and Murphy was sin.
gled out to be the one. Hence
the cry Murphyism and Bossism
was used to :hoodwink the vot-
ers to help kill Murphy. The
real bosses sat upon the throne
and directed the war. They sue
ceeded to some extent in fooling
the people, but will they succeed
again by the same method? We
think not. | think those men
have themselves proven that it
was not reform they were after.
Had it been, they would not have
run things as they have. 1t is a
matter of history that this coun-
ty administration has been the
most corrupt and extravagant
in the history OF this state, and
they have by their actions dis
graced the fair name OF Ward
county. And had itnot been for
County Commissioner Swanson,
no one can tell what would have
become Of the financial part OF
Ward county.
Another method which | have
heard is to be employed during
this campaign is to take 10 side
but be independent aud try to be
elected to the State Convention
without any pledges. There is
only one issue in the presen t
campaign and that issue is for
or against the old State Machine,
Mckenzie, Hansbrough & Co.

CHOLERA PATIENTS
WERE BURIED ALIVE

HAYS CITY, KAN, Jan. 2.-From
disclosures made this week in the
burying ground at old Fort Hayes, it
is evident that many soldiers were
buried alive there in the cholera
epidemic. The bodies are now being
moved to Leavenw orth, and the fort is
being abandoned as a military reserve.
Coffins are dug up that give ev1d-
ence of frightful struggles of their in
mates for life. Some bodies are turn
ed over, others had the legs drawn 1p
TO the neck and others were grasping
the hair. In the epidm eic the health
laws required the immediate burial of
the victims, and this CHS stiy evidence
indicates that large number of ohol
era patients were alive when buried.

TELEPHONE TO TAKE PLACE
OF TELEGRAPH ON RAILROAD

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Illinois
Genital railroad is rushing the work
of equipping the entire system with
independent telephone service. More
than 2, 900 miles of metallic long dis
tance telep hone oircuit already has
been installed on the telegraph poles
from Chicago to Omaha land Chicago
to New Orleans, Grenada, and Jack
son, Miss, Sioux City and Fort Dodge,
Iowa; Carbondale, I'll. and ST.. Louis
and Greeenada and Water Valley,
Miss.
Copper wire weighing 166 pounds
to the mile was used in building the
first circuits, but it has been found
that this is not heavy enough to give
good service in zones extending over
400 miles, and there now is being snb b.
stituted for it wire, weighing 435
pounds to the &ile.
All the circuits enumerated are to
be reserved exclusively for railroad
business. By a composite system
which has been introduced the wire
can be used for telegraph as we'll as for
telephone purposes, though it may not
be utilized in that way.
1t is found they can meet every en-
argenoy, telephones may ultimately
surpass telegraph service because of
economy. Telephones have been in
use for more than eighteen months on
the Illinois Cenral between block sign
al cabins, and the service has been
found to be highly satisfactory.

IMMENSE LUMBER
OUTPUT LAST YEAR
Four Billion Feet of Lumber Cut Last
Year and Two Hundred Billion Feet
Still Standing in the State of Wash
ington.

TACOMA, WASH, Jan. 2.-For
billion feet of lumber was cut in
Washington in 105. Two hundred
billion feet are still standing, enough.
at the rate Of last years cutting, TO
supply the mills for fifty years. This
is the estimate made On the year $
lumber business in this state by S. L.
Mccormick, secretary of the Weyer-
haeuser Timber company.
Oregon has twice as much stand
ng and is not cutting as fast as Wash
intgon," stated Mr.. Mccormick.
Washington did its share of the
great business during the past year.
There was more demand for lumber
in this state :han ever before. and in
he coming year there will be an in
creased demand. Our company sold
more timber land in Washington last
year than it bought.
"The extraordinary activity of
the demand 10 Washington last year
was due, in large measure. to the
fact that titles are clearer hele and
there is less suspicion of any land
frauds. The expose at Portland has
lIurt sales in Oregon, and the absence
of any such land frauds has turned
the money into Washington.
But the mf.la thing is that timber
On the coast is peculiarly adapted to
railroad and dock building and all
heavy work"
