Printed signs giving the location OF

THE PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLY.

On July 80 the Filipinos will be per-
mitted to choose representatives to a
popular assembly which will become
the lower house of a biennial legisla-
ture, the members of the Philippine
government forming the upper cham
Der.
This body will be forum for the ex-
preston of popular sentiment. 1t will
afford an opportunity for the represent
tatives of the people to discuss prob
lens of vital interest 1t will be a
help to the insular government in it's
difficult task by showing it what the
leaders among the island peoples ia
vor. Its membership will be selected
from the Christian tribes, none from
the pagan groups being permitted to
vote.
There will not be an entire freedom
of legislation, however, since the upper
house will form a conservative cham
Der which will have practical veto on
all enactments of the popular body.
This limitation is a wise one, since it
is by no means certain whether the
natives are ready for self-government.
Not much damage, therefore, will at
tend the granting of this small degree
of participation IN the affairs of the
islands. while the future gain may be
notable. If the experiment proves a
success and there develop capable and
conservative men worthy of trust, it
will be an easy step to grant to them
wider freedom and greater opportuni-
ties.
The Filipino students who have
been attending the colleges and univer-
stiles Of the United States during the
last few years have made a favorable
impression in the main, their earnest
ness and zeal for self-improvement
commencing them to their instructors.
The progress Of the natives in the
schools at home has been marked also,
and the opinion hell by Americans
of these wards of the nation is much
higher than it was when The war was
over.
The idea of the proposed assembly of
Representatives is a popular one in this
country, and the outcome of the expe-
riment will be watched with sympa-
thetic and hopeful interest. ;,

RETAIN THE CITY PARK.

1t is to be hoped members OF the CITY
| council will not take seriously the
proposition of Councilman Kirkman te
sell the city park In fact It Is hard
" probable at this time that Kfrkman
takes himself seriously in the matter
| 1t bears more of the earmarks OF
grandstand play for the benefit OF MI
Kirkman.
But there Is never any rule by which
the cratic actions of the present coun-
Gil can be judged except that what IL
desired, or Is good for the people. Is o.
be voted against and turned down.
A vigorous protest from the citizens
Of Walla Walla should be fled. against
the sale Of the city park property. Pc
titions should be circulated to indicate
the wishes Of the majority as to keep
ing the park grounds. The city coun-
Gil, for once, should be made to feel its
responsibility to the people.
Kirkman declares the money could be
put to better uses. Well. could it? Is
it the idea of property owners that
turning over that sum to be spent on
the whims of the present councilmen
would put it to better uses? Is there
an intelligent person in the city today
who would want to see some of those
councilmen now in Office handle the
money?
Mr.. Kirkman grows real funny when
he suggests the city park, if sold to
private parties, would be revenue
producer because those new owners
must pay the city taxes on the ground.
What an ahs,1r1itv,
The value of the park property is
increasing daily. If never used for
park purposes, the natural increase
alone would more than make up for
whatever share Of the taxes the city
would acquire.
But it is not as a real estate spec
ulation the city park should be held
1t should be made into a real park
transformed into a recreation ground
on a scale which would make it one
of the attractions to sight seers as
we'll as joy to the residents. AS such
it is of more value to Walla Walla than
five times the price at which it could
be Soda price, too, which would be
quickly dissipated by the councilmen
Then would Walla Walla be without
a city park-and in a short time with
out even the price received. Walla
Walla would be the loser. Who would
be the gamer?

CHARLES 3. HANFORD FRIDAY.

The play of Julius Caesar" in which
Charles B. Hanford will appear at the
Keylor Grand Friday, April 5, is one
which presents such a variety of op-
portunities that every legitimate actor
finds in it a stellar part. Some of the
great players select the role of "Bru.
tus" as the one best calculated to dis
play their powers. Others choose the
more subtly and intellectual "Cassius",
Charles B. Hanford makes the eloquent
Marc Antony" the central figure. Sew
eral reasons led Mr.. Hanford to that
choice. When he played the part with
the Booth Barrett combination he scor-
ed on instantaneous hit. When he
decided to engage in starring tour he
was closely identified with the part in
the public mind. To have selected
either of the other roles would have
been 20 challenge comparison with two
men whose greatness made them in
comparable and it would also have
compelled another player to assume the
part with which Mr.. Hanford had be-
come brilliantly identified. Forum
ately for Mr.. Hanford's determination
Marc Antony is the sympathetic hero
OF the play. His personal grace, his
loyal direction to the memory of a dead
friend, his impetuous yet well direcreu
eioouence all combine to make him the
IDOL OF the modern multitude as he was
OF the populace in Rome. The princi-
pal feminine role "Portia' will be as

mas so long been conspicuous rav-
orite in the Hanford productions.

commended that the kitchen garbage
and waste of the private residences of
the city shall be collected by the city
scavengers and hauled to the dumb
brute cemetery and buried there. Also
that the kitchen refuse from all res
taurants, boarding houses. hotels, &C..
shall be disposed Of by these different
places, and at their own expense. It
seems to me that these public houses
will have to make a contract with
somebody to haul this kind of refuse
off, and as it is good for hog and
chicken feed. probably hey will have no
difficulty in getting it carried away.
Why would it not be a good plan for
the city to have tank at some con-
venient place. close in, to save long
hauls, where the city scavengers could
bring all their kitchen waste and de-
post, and the same parties who take
the hotel and restaurant waste could
come and get it? The city could con-
tract for that, and save the long haul
to the dumb brute cemetery. Saving
the long haul is saving money, in
times of economy.

Internal Parasites of tho Hog

There are a number of different
kinds Of worms found in the alimen'
tary canal of the hog. but probably the
most commonly found is a large white
worm, varying in length from five to
ten inches. This parasite is usually
found in the small intestines. Other
common parasites of the interstine in
cludes the thorn headed worm OF the
small intestine, the pin worm of the
rectum and the thread worm of the
large intestine The effect OF large
numbers OF any Of these parasites is
to interfere very materially with the
growth of the hog. Young hogs and
pigs are injured TO a greater extent
than adults as they frequently become
stunted to such degree that it is diff
ficut to get them 20 growing and thriv-
ing as they should.
Generally no care Is taken TO pre-
vent the hogs from becoming infect
ed One infected hog in the lot will
under ordinary conditions soon infect
all of the hogs in the lot, as the prin-
cipal means OF spreading the infec.
ton is through the dirt of the feed
lot and by means Of surface water
that is frequently used for the hogs
to drink and wallow in. The treat
ment for most of the intestinal worms
is simple and generally effective, there
being number of remedies available
The following are among the most
common and effective of the remedies,
and the dose given is for each 100
pounds of live weight Fluid extract
Of spigelia and senna mixed in equal
parts in half ounce doses twice or
three times a day or until purging

two teaspoonfuls in milk or a small
amount of slop twice a day for two
days If number of pigs are to be
treated they should be divided into
lots of five or ten, and then given
the medicine mixed with their feed.
All of the remedies should be follow.

remedy itself is a physic. For this
purpose give an ounce of castor oil or

animals are purchased. The purchase
of one animal will influence the sue

of the other 40 animals. Isn't II
worth while then TO give some extra
time and study to the selection of that

Ia breeding FOR improvement the
milk record OF the sire's female an
cestry Is of Just as much importance
as that Of the ancestry of the COW
with which he is mated---is Of more
importance II the sire's ancestry has
better milk record. And the good
dairy sire pure bred is almost cer-
tain to have a line of dams with SUI
perior milk record; they have been
bred for that very thing. Whether or
not these dams have been tested, so
the actual figures can be given. they
are far more likely to have been high
producing cows than are the dams OF
the grade SOW One Of the very great
est things to secure for the hcifor cali
is the inheritance Of a large capacity
for milk production. and this comes
from the mothers in both lines of an
ce5try. The calf will he much moro
certain of getting high degree OF
this quality through an improved sire
than from a grade mother. a high
milk record in the sire's ancestry az

next generation in a common-sized

year (and not that many unless they

An in general. as 10 all the good
qualities that 1t is desired to transmit.
it should be clearly recognized that
these may be secured far more surely
from tho pure bred sire than from the
general run of grade cows. Nothing
is more certain than this. But all that
is here urged for the great value OF
proper breeding is no excuse for a
