Best Books Cheapess,

Seriously speaking, books are so cheap nowadays that poverty is no ex. cuse for ignorance. says the Practical Teacher. And, what is excellent. the best books are cheapest. The new re. prints of standard and classical au. thors in every department of literature put the world of knowledge within the reach of the working man, whereas formerly books were the luxury of wealth.

TO REsURvEY THE COLUMBIA.
Senator Ankeny Holds Conference
With Mayor ChIttendon.

Senator Ankeny is still working
upon the proposition Of resurvey OF
the Upper Columbia river from Ket-
tie Falls to Bridgeport, says the
Walla Walla Union. He is today ad-
vised that Mayor Chittendon, engi-
neer in charge, with headquarters in
Seattle, has agreed early I'm the
spring to drive with the senator and
others interested in the proposition,
down the river from Kettle Falls 70
Bridgeport to look over the situation.
1t is understood that the war de-
partment takes the position that an
item for the survey Of the river will
have to be incorporated in the next
river and harbor bill, and then the
engineers can make a survey and in
cidentally secure and present data as
to the resources of the country trib-
utary and furnish all available infor-
nation as to the amount of shipping
there would be when the river is
opened.
Major Chittenden has already rec
commended to the department the
expenditure of $25OO in making the
survey, but the department takes the
position that the law as it now stands
does not empower the secretary of
war to order state survey, although
1t does not reflect in any way upon
the worthiness of the project, it hav-
ing been pronounced worthy by the
board of engineers for rivers and
harbors.
The senator proposes to secure If
possible some definite data at the
coming session of congress. He has
already made one trip up the river
in a boat for the purpose \of investi-
eating the subject personally, and is
taking a deep interest in the PROPOSE
tion.

there is room for Improvement. The
native bluegrass does not produce a
sod, but grows in punches. A sod
or turf Is wanted, and some of the
meadows will be seeded with we'll
known species TO test whether they
will grow and bring the desired re-
| suit.
Timothy, redtop, blue grass and a
clover called alsike originally brought
from Sweden, will be tried. Eight or
more patches Of from three to 20
acres each will be seeded.
1t is a wild and rugged mountain
region with few trails, and those very
difficult. Harrows or other agricul-
tular machinery could not be taken
in, except on the backs of pack ami
mails. Plainly, any method of seeding
which could have any practical value
must find other Instruments than the
tools upon which the farmer ordinar-
ily relies. The sharp cutting hoofs
Of sheep will be the only harrow used.
The meadows selected for sowing
will first be grazed as short as sheep
can crop the native grass. Since the
ground is wet it will be much cut up
by the sheep. Glover, timothy, red
top or bluegrass seed will then be
sown broadcast, and the sheep will
then be driven to and fro across it
until the seed is beaten well into the
soil.
This will be done late in the season,
so that the seed will lie dormant until
next summers sun melts the snow
and warns the ground. Whether it
will grow, and mature a crop in three
months remains to be seeh. II 1t
will, one problem of mountain pastur-
age will have been solved, for a much
larger quantity of forage will be fur
nished by these plants than the ma
tive growths supply.
II this grass sowing on the high
Oregon countains is, successful, it will
open the' way for similar range de-
velopment elsewhere. There is hard
ly a limit to the possibilities present.

TO PUMP WATER FOR CROPS.
Irrigation Company VIII Reclaim 6
Tract on Snake River.

Engineer Lew A. Wilson has Just
completed the surveying and plating
of 1900 acres of desert land for the
Evans Irrigation company, a recent
ly organized stock company, has be-
gun operations on the installation of
an irrigation plant located on the
Snake river five miles above the town
of Ainsworth, says the Walla Walla
Union.
The pant will have sufficient ca
pacity to supply water to the above
acreage. At the present time, this
land is a sterile plain, covered with
sagebrush.
The company is being promoted
and managed by ]. F. Evans, the man
who built the big ditch for the Pasco
Power and Irrigation company.
In the construction of the long
race to the power plant, the company
has been greatly aided by natural
race way in the form of slews and
low lands. Owing to this natural aid
the cost Of excavating ditch nearly
mile in length will be but little
more than $1,000. The race of sim
liar length and size for the Pasco
Power and Irrigation company cost
nearly 100000.
The power plant will raise the wa
ter distance Of 145 feet to the table
lands above, where the land has been
taken under the desert act by set
tiers. These settlers will cultivate
their lands as soon as the water can
be procured.

GOOD CONSULAR POSITIONS WAITING

solely upon the applicants ability to
stand the educational test that is
given at the state department.
Several years ago 20 young men
took the examination at Washington
and less than half the number were
college graduates. Fourteen passed
and were given positions paying them
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Places for Students.
The government is also offering
high school graduates a chance to
enter the consular service as STUDENT
interpreters. Young men who are
appointed to these positions will be
sent TO China and Japan to be edu-
Gated and during the five years
course which is required they will be
allowed $50 a month and travelling
expenses. At the expiration of the
five years the student interpreters
will be given positions in the consul
lar service.

Feeder Movement Is Rio.

The Chicago Drovers' Journal pub
fishes the following: A total of SS,-
2O4 cattle was shipped from Chicago
last week, which stands near to the
record outward movement for one
week from the local yards. OF this
number there was a heavy volume of
fat steers and the stock purchased
by the outsiders-the largest share,
in fact-but the number of stockers
and feeders was exceptionally heavy.
Close to 500 loads of thin cattle went
to the feed lots, or about 10000. This
stands as the largest movement of
stockers and feeders during the year
thus far and gives strong indication
of the tendency Of the corn growers
to stock up while the prices are low.

THIS MAN SAYS LA TOILETTE.
Commercial Traveller Thinks Wiscon-
sin Man VIII Lead I'm Race.

A North Yakima dispatch says:
Robert M. La Toilette, senior sena-
tor OF the state Of Wisconsin, will be
the next president Of the United
States" Such was the announce
ment Of Joseph Galusch of Milwau-
kee at the Hotel Yakima last night.
Mr. Gallusch Is a commercial man
and Is a representative of very
large class of young men who have
supported La Toilette through thick
and thin throughout his political ca
reer, first as a candidate for COVER
nor, later through his primary elec-
ton law and railroad bill fights In
the state legislature, afterwards in
his candidacy for the Junior United
States senatorship, and finally in his
still harder fight to procure the cleo
tlon of Isaac Stephenson, his present
colleague, to the vacancy caused by
the retirement of Senator John C.
Spooner.
la Toilette" said Mr.. Gallusch,
'is the logical man for the office. He
will go TO the convention with the
solid support of his state and prom
ises from many other states, and
with strong following among the
people of the country, a stronger fol-
lowing than can be claimed for any
other candidate. His record on the
very questions which President Roose-
welt says are the most important now
before the people Of the United States
is such as to guarantee that he will
push with vigor and without allow
ing any influence to interfere, the
reforms which have been so well be-
gun and so far advanced in this coun-
try. There is no question of his be-
ing a man Of presidential caliber."

Few young men in the northwest
realize that there are positions OF
honor and responsibility I'm the feder-
nj service that are actually "golng
begging" Nevertheless this is the
case.
There are more than a score of va
cancies in the American consular
service, which Secretary of State
Root is determined shall not be
passed around as political rewards,
but he is willing and anxious to give
every young man, who is prepared to
pass the examination required by the
state department, chance to enter
the service in the lower grades, states
an exchange. The salaries paid are
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Young men in the northwest have
an especially good chance to secure
berths In the foreign service of the
government, for the reason that this
section Is sadly lacking In her quo
IA. Secretary Root wants to desig-
nate applicants for the examination
from those states that have not their
full share of representation in the
service.
a young man, republican or demo-
crat, who can meet the educational
requirements, whose health is good,
and who can get men of prominence
to testify as to his moral character,
may secure one of these positions by
having either the senator's or con-
gressmen of their states request Sec
retary Root to designate him for the
examination.
Examinations IN November.
One requirement. which prevents
many otherwise well-qualifled young
men from taking the examination, is
that the applicant must be able to
translate one foreign language into
English. This is the most difficult
thing about the examination. Aside
from this requirement nearly any
high school graduate could make a
rating high enough to secure an ap-
pointment Examinations will be
given In Washington the latter part
Of November and again during the
early part of the year.
Since the present administration
has inaugurated system Of consular
reform these positions have been
taken out of politics and in the fu-
ture all appointments will be made

All Idaho Has Oil Fever.

The oil fever has struck Emmett
says the Boise Capital News. Severa
years ago a company was organized
to drill a we'll and work was begun
but after going down 600 feet the
stockholders became discouraged and
gave up the attempt. Now the pro-
ject has been revived and it is pro-
posed to resume drilling.
A meeting of the stockholders in
the old company will be held and the
matter of drilling again will be con-
sidered. Sentiment in favor of the
move is very strong and it is almost
certain that the well will be put down
to Q depth of 1000 feet if necessary to
find oil.
There are strong indications that
there is oil in this vicinity, and the
success which was met with at Pay
cite has caused Emmett to take re-
newed interest in the proposition.

DENIES CAR SHORTAGE.
Investigation of Southern Pacific at
Salem Brings Out New Facts.

salem Brings Out New Facts.
Although admitting, at the hearing
before the railroad commission, yes.
terday afternoon, that numerous
complaints were being received from
shippers the officials of the traffic
department maintained that there
was no such thing as a car shortage
and that the company is well equip
Iped to handle all of the local traffic
! and In fair position to take care OF
The interstate shipments out of this
state, says the Salem Statesman.
One important fact was develop
ed as a result of the examination of
the railroad officials upon the wit
ness stand, which is regarded as be-
Ing responsible in a material degree
for the trouble some shippers are ex-
periencing in the delayed delivery Of
cars and that is the lack of system
of cancelling orders for cars as to
dates, as far as priority is concern
ed.
1T was shown from the records and
a special report furnished by the
company, at the request of the conf
mission, that some shippers were in
the habit of putting in orders at diff
ferent dates for cars and when a car
was furnished, to cancel the latest
date and leave the first orders to re-
fain in the order of priority over or
ders placed by other shippers. The
railroad commission will probably
make an order looking to an abate-
ment Of this evil and the company
Will make an investigation, with the
same end in view.

Seeding at Athena.

Seeding began generally in the
Athena district this week, according
to Representative Charles A. Barrett
who was in the city this forenoon on
business. Although it is very dry to
seed, yet there is danger in delaying
further, think the farmers, as it will
probably freeze up soon after the fall
rains set in. Last year seeding was
done during the dry weather and as
this years crop was bumper, farm
ers will seed while 1t is dry.
