AS a matter of illustration of The
advantage of having milling plant
with pretentions and magnitude in-
volved in the Preston Parton plant,
comparison may be made in the
volume of money circulating through
trade avenues iu Athena and other
towns of like size which do not possess
large milling plant. In Athena the
Preston Parton company has purchased
nearly 80 per cent of the wheat raised
in the tributary territory, VIII lie in
other towns of the wheat growing
section, not over 80 per cent of the
wheat has yet been sold. In those
places, as result of wheat not NOV
ing, money conditions are cramped to
the extent that business IS dull.

A Crook county rancher, who has
lived there 80 years, says the climate
has changed greatly; that 30 years ago
it was 35 degrees below zero aud the
Columbia froze over at The Dalles SO
that cattle could be driven across
nearly every winter; that 25 years ago
no small fruits could be raised in
Crook county, while now they are
raised with but little trouble; that
the change occurred not gradually,
but about 1886, since when the winters
have been warmer and the summers
cooler than before that year. Some
Others confirm this but still others
think the change is imaginary.

Many complaints are being received
at the agricultural department in
which it is charged that various rail
roads are violating the thirty six
hour law regarding the transportation
of stock. Secretary Wilson is turning
in the complaints and such evidence
as his agents gather to the depart
ment of Justice and prosecutions are
expected to follow, resulting, if the
charges are sustained, in heavy fines
against the railroad companies.
The law requires that a railroad
company shall not carry live stock on
it's trains more than SO hours without
providing such stock food and water,
but if the reports that have reached
Washington are correct, sixty. and in
some cases as many as 80 hours with
out being unloaded to be watered and
fed. The charges apply to nearly all
the big railroads, both in the east aud
west, some of the worst violators
being eastern roads running out of
Chicago and st. Louis for New York
and Boston. Secretary Wilson has
declared his intention to insist on an
observance of the law and will extend
no leniency to roads that break it.

Special Correspondence.

Considerable surprise has been
caused in official circles over the an
nouncement that the president had
decided to make at the opening of
congress, all the cabinet changes
necessary incident to filling the va
canoy on the supreme court bench by
the appointment of Attorney General
Moody. The plan to have these
changes made now, instead Of at the
close of the session. indicates the de-
sire on the part of the president to
have as many of the transfers as pos
sible made at the beginning, so that
each memEer may be in his new Office
to look after such legislature as his
department may need.
According to the present program,
the nomination of Attorney General
Moody as justice of the supreme court
will be sent to the senate on the open
ing day, instead of waiting until after
the holiday recess. 1t is believed that
the president now feels there is little
danger Of the appointment failing of
confirmation. and Immediately that
action is taken, Mr.. Moody will as
sumo his duties on the bench. thus
giving to the supreme court its full
membership, thing much desired in
deciding important cases. Then, if
all goes as per schedule, by December
10, Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte
will become attorney general, Score
tary of Commerce and Labor Metoalf
will become secretary of the navy,
and Oscar S. Straus of New York, will
become secretary of commerce and
labor. The other cabinet changes
that have already been decided upon
will not be made until the close of the
present congressional session.

A surprise is in store for the presi
dent when he returns to the White
House from his visit to Panama and
Porto Rico. He will find that during
his absence, the campus just to the
rear of the executive mansion and
where the mansion band gives its con-
certs during the summer months, has
been turned into football grounds
and here during four afternoons in
each week, this strenuous game is
played.
Ehe captain of one of the teams and
the prime mover in the sport, is
Archie Roosevelt, son of the President.
His play mates are 30 boys about his
own age from the Friends Select
School at which Archie is pupil.
Temporary goal posts have been ar
ranged by the youngsters and soon
after the close of school in the after
noon full fiedged game is under
way. Each of the players has a
regulation uniform aud while all of
the plays perhaps, are not scientific
ally carried out, great deal of en-
thusiasm is expended, to say nothing
of the noise. Tourists have been as
founded at the sight of boisterous boys
whooping aud yelling in the shadow
of the executive mansion, but when
told it is all plan of the president s
son. they manifest considerable inter
est in the games as do the policemen
and attendants OH duty about the
place. Some of these say that it is
likely the president himself will take
hand in the sport as Lis liking for
/ football Is we'll known.

Sightseers in Washington as well as
residents are greatly interested in the
freakish plant now on exhibition at
the government botanical gardens.
This strange specimen of the botanical
world is popularity calletl the
"mother-in- plant" because it is
so closely related to the venerable
motheI-in law joke. 1t is the only
plant of its kind tiourishing in the
United States and was originally
brought to this country from South
America by Prussian traveller who
discovered the peculiar properties of
the bush by biting into its large
stock, the result being that he was
deprived of his power of speech for
about week.
The sap of the plant causes the
tender nerves of the tongue to become
swollen and produces temporary loss
of speech. So far, but one visitor to
the government garden has been will
ing to try the experiment. This W as
a woman, the wife of former gov
ernment official who doubted that the
plant contained the power to silence
the tongue. She bit into a piece of
the trunk, and as result her throat
and mouth required medical attention
for several days.
