HELPS THE FARMER
J. J. HILL GIVES PRIZES
FOR GOOD WORK
Over $4,000 to BE Distributed I'm Cash
Prizes to Minnesota and North Da-
Eota Farmers for Good Results in
Farm Work-IIopes to Stimulate
Diversified Farming.

James ]. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railway, has adopted
new style of philanthropy which as
cellence in farming and is left-hand-
ed aid to his own financial under
takings.
1t is to pit farmers against one
another and force them through ex-
perience to learn proper methods that
James ]. Hill has offered annual cash
prizes, aggregating s4725, to the
farmers Of Minnesota, this amount
being divided among the nine con-
gress districts of the state at the rate
of S525 each. In each district three
prizes are offered. The first prize
is $500, second $50 and the third
SIS, total of s525. Similar prizes
are offered for the eastern half of
North Dakota and the western half
of the same state; likewise for South
Dakota. This makes a total for the
thirteen districts of S6S25 offered in
cash by Mr.. Hill to the farmers in
three states.
These prizes are to be awarded by
Prof. Thomas Shaw, together with
one other judge from each district,
approved by Mr.. Hill. The judges
will award the prizes according to
what they consider the best system
of rotation adopted by each farm en-
tered in the contest, character of cul-
tivation, cleanliness of farm, crop
yield, number and quality of livestock
kept in proportion to area.
There are no fees, dues or expenses
but the Hill prizes are open to every
farmer in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, the only restriction being that the
in addition thereto either sheep or
swine, or both.
Some 10 or 12 years ago ]. ]. Hill,
before he became so well known as
he is today, conceived the idea of en-
couraging the farmers of the north
west to engage in cattle raising. He
had his agents purchase and distrib-
ute 100 thoroughbred bulls.
The animals were an undoubted
aid to the Swedes. Danes and Norwe-
gans who We're then opening up the
farms of the northwest along the
Great Northern railroad, but unfortu-
nately these farmers knew absolutely
nothing about farming. The major
ity of them stuck to wheat raising, as
large percentage are doing today,
and could not be prevailed upon to
take up diversified farming.
Jim Hills bulls probably never
brought him half their cost. His in
tentlons were good, but he least his
pears before swine" and they knew
not their value. 1t was five or six
years later when practical farmers
from the middle states invaded the
Red River valley, that a change came
over the farming industry. Creamer-
les were established fine herds of
dairycattle were secured; sheep, hogs
and poultry were introduced and the
country became prosperous.
The new land was planted to grain,
but every year has seen the exclu-
sive grain area pushed further to the
northwest. This is shown in the
wheat yield of Minnesota, which has

WORK ON TETON PROJECT.
Government to Begin Construction by
September.

Engineer Joseph Jacobs returned
last evening from a trip to Seattle,
where he had been to hold consul
tation with Supervising Engineer d.
c. Henny in regard to the work of the
government in this valley on the Tie
ton project, says the Yakima Repub-
lie. Other matters of importance
were discussed, but the work of the
reclamation department in the Yak
ina valley occupied the chief atten-
ton of these two prominent figures in
the reclamation service.
Mr.. Jacobs stated to Republic
reporter this morning that he felt
sure the actual construction. on the
Tieton project would be commenced
in six months from the present time
After talking over the plans with En-
gineer Henny, and taking up all the
matters of detail which must neces-
sarily be encountered in connection
with big undertaking of this kind by
the government, they concluded that
not later than September the scrap
ers would be at work and dirt flying

KILLED BY THE FALL.
Girl Thrown From Horse and Skull
Was Fractured.

Edna Clark, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chauncey Clark, was thrown
from a horse at about 6 o'clock
Thursday evening last. and sustained
a fracture of the skull, from the eff
fects of which she died at about 3
o'clock Friday afternoon. She was
about 13 years of age.
The facts seem to be that the young
lady was riding a horse to water, and
on the resnrn trip the animal attained
such speed that she was thrown off
with the above result. The sympa-
thy of many friends is extended to the
parents and relatives of the dead girl.

AN ALFALFA MEAL FACTORY.
Plant May BE Installed at Yakima by
st. Louis Firm to Pulverizc Hay.


a well known st. Louis firm, the
Williams Pulverizer and Mill Feed
company, is thinking of coming to the
Yakima valley and putting in a fac
tory for the purpose of making meal
out of alfalfa hay, says the Yakima
Republic. This experiment has been
tried before in various parts of the
country, and has met with hearty
support in every instance.
DR.. George Sloan, who has wit
messed the operation of an alfalfa mill
and knows the value of alfalfa meal
so far as feeding cattle and hogs is
concerned, thinks the advent of such
an enterprise in this valley would be
of untold benefit the the dairymen
and the farmers generally.
81 know that this st. Louis firm is
thinking strongly of coming here, and
1t Is at the present time in COM
munication with some parties in the
city who are making Investigations
for them" said DR.. Sloan.
"The object of the company would
be to put in large factory and sup
ply the markets of the sound" con-
tinued the dector, "as well as the
dairymen of Kittitas county and
other counties east of the mountains.
by grinding the alfalfa hay into
meal a great saving is accomplished,
because all the rough stalks and stems
which cattle will not eat as a rule,
are pulverized and make a very nu-
trltlous feed"
The raising of alfalfa hay is one
of the principal Industries of the
Yakima valley farmer, and an insti-
tuition of the kind in question would
no doubt prove successful enter
prise.

remained about the same in the last
10 years, while diversified farming
has increased hundred fold.
1t is in view of the changed condi-
tions that Mr.. Hill, who loses $780, 900
annually on his own farm near st.
Paul, is willing to see the farmers
compete for cash prizes annually for
four years. He hopes to stimulate
their ambition.

With a good, plain sign, like that"
So when she passed, 1 ventured
Near the EAST END GROCER's shop
And espied this simple legend:

And then the EAST END GROCER,
Smiling sweetly did appear,
And he kindly bade me enter,
Saying: "See what we have here"
And as my eyes gazed eagerly,

With wonder and delight,

Guessed It First Thing

When the news came this week that a gilded youth decorated in glad rags and with gobs of money to throw at the birds'had been arrested Seattle for forging the name of A. K. Bea.son of Latouche to handful of checks everybody in town offered to bet 10 to | that it was the exquisite R. K. Chesterfield, whose Seward and La touche record was the inspiration of more gossip than any individual factor in the town during the present year.
 Chesterfield came to Seward last winter as a Steerage passenger on the Oregon. He professed to be doctor, a graduate of Boston medical school and stated that he intended either to go into the Cook inlet region or to re- main in Seward. In the latter case he intended to furnish a suite of rooms which would be dazzling in their gor geous equipment. He introduced him. self to Rev. l.. II. PederSen and said he was a member of a certain Metho- dist church in Boston.
 The story did not leak out for a long time shat Chesterfield came up steer age. He was fairly well-dressed and showed fondness for giving the ladies a treat every day by walking around as if on exhibition. Soon after his arrival he accepted" a position as clerk in the railroad commissary, which he held for a short time. He wrote good hand but possessed no other clerical qualification. He was let out through a reduction of the force.
 Then began the Chesterfield record in hard luck fnanciering. He had already told the girls, and some men, that he was worth nearly a million dollars and as proof thereof frequently exhibited check for S45, 1000 on a fara- way bank payable to his order and bearing a signature of somebody un- known here. He also said that he had a very wealthy brother who was over- due in Alaska and that when his brother arrived they intended to buy up most of the copper property on the Southern coast.

 Fuller was living like prince at the Rainier Grand hotel and dressed in the night of fashion. He confessed the forgeries, saying that he needed the money to marry in good style.

 Early in September Chesterfield re- appeared in Seward and registered at the McNeiley hotel as R. Kensington Latouche. He had money to burn, went around and paid his debts, bought a lot of good clothes and began to per. form as a "Johnny." He was nice to the ladies and spent good deal of time at his favorite occupation of sit ting inside the hotel window aappinga a pair of kid gloves over his left hand with his right He also plunged a little in the tiger dens, craps being his favorite. He had all kinds of money and a suspicion was rife that he had tapped Beatson's till though the gen. eral belief was that he was remit tance man who had been cast off for a while and then taken up again by his family. His trouble at Valdez with Ackley is recent history.
