DALTON IS
REPR|EvED

The announcement was made at
the executive Office yesterday that
Governor Mead had committed to
life Imprisonment the sentence of
James Dalton who was to have been
hung Friday of this week for the
murder of Policeman Stotko of Spo-
kane The governor states that he
was moved to grant this commute
ton by many considerations, several
of which were sufficiently weighty to
satisfy him that genuine cause for
doubt of Dalton's guilt actually ex-
lists. The fact that the most dam
aging evidence presented by the pros
ecution was that of fallen and moral
ly depraved women and a criminal
associate of these women, and the
further fact that Dalton had a crimi-
nal record, the exposition of which
very probably weighed with the jury
Against the accused, entered largely
into the considerations.
Added to this were the represen-
tations of number of the most
prominent lawyers and citizens of
Spokane, who carefully followed the
testimony presented at the trial, a
member of the Spokane police force
and other officials, who studied the
case. All of these expressed it as
their firm conviction that there is a
doubt that Dalton is the man who
murdered Officer Stotko. The gov
ernor received petitions signed by
BAG citizens of Spokane requesting
that he commute the sentence of Dali
ton to l.fe Imprisonment.

Many of the great railroad companies

such a cost that the net earnings

AFRAID OLE COG. :"

CHICAGO, September 17-E H.
Sothern last night caused some quick
moves because of a dislike for the
number %, owing to a previous expert
ence. Sothern was to open an engage
ment at the Garrick on Monday night,
September %, with The Fool Hath
Said in His Heart" but when the actor
saw the announcement with the figures
20" standing out boldly, he at once
informed Shubert Bros. that he would
not open until the oath.
After some quick moves, Manager
Duce, Of the Garrick arranged to fill
the stage for the 23rd and Sothern will
open his Western tour Tuesday night.
1t is said that the main reason for
Sothern's aversion to the number 20 is
the fact that the Sothern and Marlowe
company embarked for England on
March %, and that, while the company
achieved great artistic success, the
financial returns were small.

Irritation Practice.

In the mountain states of the west,
where irrigation is practiced-in Colo
RADIO, for example-ideal conditions for
plant growth prevail, for there the sky
is clear, the sunshine intense and the
air dry. Therefore if water can be
supplied when the crops are in need of
it assimilation will go on at its best
and the production of organic sub
stance will be all the more favored.
The result will be large crop of
large sized grain. The results, in fact,
show this to be true. Whereas the
average weight Of a thousand grains
grown in the semiarid regions from
Texas to North Dakota varies from
twenty three to thirty-one grams, a
thousand grains in the mountain states
of Colorado, Wyoming. Idaho, etc,
where irrigation is in vogue, average
over thirty-six grams.-J. A. LIE Clerc.

Silage has been the great stimulus
to winter dairying, and without 1t
large part of the farmers profits would
be cut off Those whose memories go
back to the period when the winter
dairy was composed mainly of strip
pers" fed on moldy hay and dry corn
fodder, with sometimes a little bran,
and when even with this meager ra-
ton the cows scarcely paid for their
keep, do not need to have their atten-
ton drawn to the great improvement
which the winter dairy has under
gone nor to be told how large a part
it plays in the farm economy, remarks
Farm Journal.
The material of which silos may be
constructed and whether they should
be separate structures or attached to
the barn are questions about which
there may be differences of opinion,
but most people are agreed that
cheap silo is Il dear experiment in the
long run. There are a number of rep
utable firms manufacturing silos that
have stood the test of time, and one
cannot go wrong in making a selection
from these standard and well tried
models. The prime consideration in
the construction of silo is to secure
receptacle that is strong enough to re-
sist the great pressure put upon it and
to preserve it's contents air tight. The
location should be selected with refer
ence to its convenience for filling and
emptying.
According to recognized authority,
each COW should have an allowance Of
about four tons of silage in the seven
months it is usually fed. 1t is, there
fore, easy to determine by the number
of cattle to be subsisted how much
silage it is necessary to preserve. A
silo reasonably deep is the best pre-
servative of its contents and the most
economical, but it is held by good au-
thority that it is desirable to keep the
structure within reasonable bounds,
and when the demand goes beyond
that it is better to have two or more
silos.
