General Edward S. Bragg, of
Fond du Lac, one of the old time
Democrats of Wisconsin, says
Democracy exists only in the
south. The recent election in
Wisconsin goes to show that
the general is not far off in his
estimate in this state at least.
When the Democrats do have
an opportunity to get out and
make a showing, they don't
seem to be able to line up their
men.

If such is the case, it has take
Roosevelt a long time to pay hi

NEW LINE FOR HOOD RIVER.
Development Of Apple Industry De-
mands Better Transportation.

HlaTl0S BfIttT 1TdIiSIDftdtioh.
1t is estimated that within the next
three years Hood River valley will be
producing 400. 900 boxes Of apples an
nually. says the Oregon Daily jour
nal. The present output is less than
half that amount. This year the crop
will be from 130, 900 to 100000, which
ia double the number Of boxes yielded
last year.
II has been proposed to build an
electric railroad line to accommodate
the people of the valley and give
them quick transportation to and
from the town OF Hood River, on the
o. r. & y. railroad. The Eccles
railroad. built from Hood River to
point in the timber not far from the
base of Mount Hood, has not proved
to be OF much value as a means oil
local transportation for the people OF
the valley. 1t has announced the es-
tablIshment of but one station in that
part of the valley, where fruit Is
largely produced.
An electric road expert has made
an examination Of the field and pro-
poses to build a road from Hood
River town southwark alone-the eas'
side Of the river to fuckers bridge
about seven miles, and there cross tc
the west side and complete belt line
back to the town of Hood River
From fuckers crossing 1t is proposed
to construct the line on up the river
to tap certain timber lana where mills
would be established, and bring lum'
ber out to the markets.

David f. Lantz, assistant in the BIZ

Washington. after more than year

studying the habits of coyotes and
trying to devise means for their de-

improbable though it may seem,
coyotes have increased in numbers in
Oklahoma since the country was set

prevails in other western states where

New Kind of Potato in France.

The British vice-consul at Rouen
reports that the cultivation in France
of a new potato brought from Uru-
quay has been observed for some time
with great interest. A variety Of this
potato, called the "solanum CONNER
sonii violet" is said to possess excel
lence of taste as we'll as a nutritive
value, and is equal to the best table
potato known in France. This vari-
ETY. is distinguished by its resistance
to frost, as also to disease, and its
one great advantage is that 1t prospers
most in a damp or swampy soil, where
no other kind of potato would grow.
Every kind of soil, whether clayey,
calcareous, or silicious, seems equally
adapted for its culture, provided 1t is
damp. The price of this potato, which
has now been placed on the market
in a limited quantity for planting pur-
poses. is shillings (about As cents)
per pound.

restricted to Mexico and Central
America.
Coyotes eat both animal and vege-
table food. In Oklahoma they are
great pilferers of watermelons, always
choosing a ripe melon.
Practically the only benefit derived
from coyotes by farmers is their de-
struction of rabbits and smaller ro-
dents. The big jackrabbit for a
short distance. is swifter than a coy
ote, but lacks endurance, and is soon
caught. When a jackrabbit realizes
that it is overtaken 1t utters peculiar
cry Of fear.
The prairie dog is a choice morsel
for the coyote. The latter hides be-
hind a bunch Of weeds or grass, close
enough to be brought by a few leaps
near the mouth of the burrow In
feeding, the prairie dog approaches
closer and closer to its enemy, and
often is caught before 1t suspects dan

Plans for Destruction.
One purpose of Mr.. I.antz's inves'
tigations was to determine the prac

cost a wire fence that would protec
the livestock from coyotes. His ex
periments were conducted near Chat
tanooga.
a long lane was first built will
sides seven feet high. made with poul
try netting of a small mesh. Fourteen
cross fences of heights from 80 to 6
inches and of various designs wer
built at intervals along the lane. The

One of the most enthusiastic gath
erings in the history of sherman
county took place at Moro Saturday
under the auspices of the Inland En-
pire wheatgrowers' association, and
according to f. ]. Smith, traffic man
ager of the Open River Transportation
company, who is in The Dalles to-
day, was a regular old-fashioned love
feast of farmers, says The Dalles
Chronicle.
Men who had never dared to at
tempt to make speech before got to
their feet and expressed their opinion
in no undecided terms. Four hundred
farmers. merchants and other Sher-
man county citizens were present to
discuss the matter of shipping this
years crop and though some of them
looked very blue on account of the
damage to grain, all seemed to be
decided as to the question of shipping
what Is left.
Complete organization was per-
fected and the following representa-
tive men elected as officers: Presi-
dent, George T. Parr, of Moro; vice
president, Judge John Fulton, OF
Wasco. secretary, " II. Smith, OF
Wasco; executive committee. w. Nc

LUNATIc ON THE RAMPAGE
Charles HARDWOOD, a Former reori
UlJ Policeman, Develops q
Dangerous Mania.

Peoria, Ill. Jan. 29.-Charles Har-
wood, a former policeman, now violently
insane, entered the police headquarters
Sunday afternoon, and at the point of a
revolver held up the chief and seven
officers for Is minutes while he vented
his insane wrath in a deluge of curses.
After threatening to shoot the entire
crowd and failing to shoot because a
snapped cartridge did not discharge, he
backed out of the station and made his
escape.
Within an hour after the holdup OF
the station, HARDWOOD appeared near his
home on Bigelow street and entered the
residence of a Mrs. Montgomery, whom
he knocked down with the butt Of his
| gun. Taking a shotgun and a revolver
from the house he barricaded himself In
| his own residence a few doors farther
on, and at ten o'clock Sunday night was
standing off a squad of police who sur
rounded the house. Saturday night he
compelled his wife to disrobe and then
| drove her into the street, and Sunday
morning he made an attempt on the life
of his children. Chief Kennedy and all
of his officers held up in the station
were unarmed and at the mercy of their
assailant.

WEDDING GIFT FOR ALICE
Cuban Senate, By Acclamntion, Pass
a Bill Appropriating S25,0OO to
Purchas the Gift.

Havana, Jan. 27.-The senate unan-
imously passed an appropriation OF
$25, 900 for the purchase of a wedding
gift for Miss Alice Roosevelt. The
hill, which was introduced jointly by
Senator Mendez Capote, the vice-presi-
dent-elect; Senior Alfredo aayas, pres
ident of the liberal party, and Gen.
Manuel Sanguilly, the leader Of the in
dependent party, directs President Pal
ma to select a wedding gift for Miss
Roosevelt and a%ppropriates SIS 900
therefor.
Each of the senators introducing the
bill spoke in a similar strain to Senior
Zayas, who said that Cuba owed some
evidence of appreciation to her unfail-
ing friend, Theodore Roosevelt, and that
the wedding of his daughter afforded OPP
portunity to demonstrate Cuba's love
for and appreciation of her illustrious
father.
Each speaker pointed out that all par
ties had agreed as to the propriety and
appropriateness of the making Of such
q gift.
Gen. Cisneros, who has been called
the most anti-American man in con-
gress, voiced his approval of the bill,
and moved that it be passed by accla-
nation. It was so passed.
Assurances are given that the public
will take similar action.

MARVELLOUS SPEED RECORD
Two Miles Covered in Fifty-Eight
and FOur-Fifths Seconds by
an Automobile

Ormond-D aytona Beach, Fla, Jan. 30.
Victor Demogeot, of France, was
crowned speed king of the world Mon
day afternoon, on the Daytona sands,
after driving his gasoline car two miles
in the marvellous time of IS As seconds.
Demogeot maintained a speed OF 125
miles an hour to make this record.
On the first trial Marriott (American)
went first, but the best he could do was
one minute and three seconds. Demo-
geot brought the crowd to its feet by
reducing the time to one minute 12-5
seconds. Referee Morrill, decided to
give each car a trial to see If the time
coould be brought within the minute.
Marriott came first again, and this time
faster. He made the two miles in SO 3-5
seconds. 1t seemed impossible that the
clumsy looking French car should re-
duce this, but the Florida Times-Union
$1,000 trophy was lost to America a few
minutes later when Demogeot Numbered
over the two mile course in S. As sec
onds, the fastest speed ever attained by
an automobile. Demogect was crowned
with a laurel wreath by Miss Mary Sim
rail-, of Ormond, Fla, while several
thousand persons cheered. An automo-
bile parade followed, and this ended the
tournament.
