found in a barn in the rear of Oar

wife and son gone. He said $500 in

SHERIFF KILLED BY 4 BOMB
Before Death Brown Said West.
ern Federation Had Marked Him.
Told How He Had Been Swallowed on
Account of, His Connection With
Steunenberg and Adams Gases.

Baker City, Oregon. - Harvey K.
Brown, ex-sherif of Baker County,
died from wounds received in the
bomb explosion at his front gate two
nights before.
The Western Federation of Miners
was accused of instigating the death
of Brown in an ,ante-mortem state-
ment made by the victim. The out
rage was in many respects similar to
that which killed Ex-Governor Steu-
nenberg, of Idaho. The ante-mortem
statement was taken by the district
attorney, and was as follows:
was on my way home from up
town fast night when 1 met a man In
front of my house, and spoke. The
man made no reply. This man was
about Ave feet ten inches tall; his
weight was 165 pounds. He wore a
brown suit and a celluloid collar and
was clean shaver.
Il have been conscious Of having
been followed for three weeks, and I
have no doubt that those who at
tempted my life are persons connect
ed with the Western Federation Of
Miners, and that / was marked for
death on account of my connection
with the Steunenberg and Steve
Adams cases."
The townfis much excited. Practi-
cauy no business is being transacted,
and the people n gathering in pub
lie places to discuss the crime.
Brown arrested Steve Adams at
Haines when the latter was wanted
as a witness in the Steunenberg case,
and he testified at the trial. Of Adams
in Wallace, when the latter faced a
jury on the charge of having muir
dered a claim jumper. Friends of
the ex-sherih say that he frequently
mentioned the threats made against
him.

Boise Citizens Hail His AcQuittal in
Land Fraud Case.

Boise, Idaho.-William e. Borah,
United State Senator, was acquitted
on the charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government out of Idaho
timber lands. The case was sub
mitted without argument by the de-
Tense, and the jury was out just long
enough to take one ballot.
The verdict was greeted with
cheers and applause, which the court
officers made no effort to restrain.
AS soon as the news reached the
street bells were rung and the Fire
Department made a spectacular run
through the streets, stopping even
tually at the Idaho Hotel, whittier
Senator Borah, surrounded by several
hundred citizens, was escorted. A
brass band appeared as If by magic,
and as the Senator reached the hotel
played "Hall to the Chief!"
The streets about the hotel were
blocked by a cheering throng, whose
shouts mingled with the fire engines
whistles and clangs of trolley car
bells. Senator Borah thanked his
hearers for their demonstration Of
confidence in him throughout the
trial.

Birds Are Good Friends.

The latest theory put forward to &C
count for the decrease in bird life,
makes the destruction chargeable to
the poisons contained in the spraying
liquids which, applied to trees and
sh%rubbery, are readily reached by the
birds which subsist upon insect lie.
One investigator claims that he has
examined a number of insectiyerous
birds found dead in the fields and or
chards and that he discovered evil
dences of poison in each. If this is a
fact, and not a theory, it opens up a
very serious question, for there is no
longer any doubt that we r largely
dependent on the birds to hold the in
sect pests in check, and that if we
kill off these good friends we shall
surely be in a sad pIight.-Farm Jour-

Make Profound Impression.

Toxic, Japan.-SecTetary Taft's
speech at the banquet given him by
the municipality and the Chamber
of Commerce is regarded here as the
most Important event in the history
Of the relations OF Japan and the
United States since the treaty nego-
tiated by United States Minister Al
fred Buck in the late '90s, when he
issued his appeal to American resi-
dents to respect Japanese laws and
institutions, viii y made Buck the
most popular of Ministers.
Taft's speech Is regarded as restor-
ing the warmth of the old national
friendship. The Japanese who at
tended the banquet and who were
representative o. all classes, are
as reassuring beyond expectations.
Taft's fearless and outspoken treat
ment Of the dreaded topic appealed
strongly to the admiration that Amer
lean sincerity has alWays commanded
here.
Marquis Matsukata, a leading
member OF the Elder Statesmen, said
that the speech ought to end all talk
Of war, for It had voiced the true
feelings Of both sides.
The speech OF welcome at the ban
quet was made by Baron S~hibusawa,
governor Of the Bank Of Japan. : He
said the JapLI 0se regarded the Amer
leans as their own people and he
wished Mr.. Taft 50 to tell their broth
ers over the sea.
Secretary Taft's speech was in part
as follows:
ct pIab e. o~r~aSS nm haor&foIf
thanks for this magnificent evidence
of good will. Since my visit in 1905
Japan has been through a titanic
struggle, but peace is dawning. The
Americans are proud hat Mr.. Roose-
welt, with the prestige OF the Amer
lean Presidency, FASTENED the end Of
a peace that is honorable to both
Japan and Russia.
Japan has proved as great in
peace as I'm war. She has taken first
rank among the nations. Her growth
from a hermit nation in fifty years is
a marvel to the world. The Amer
leans r proud Of Japan. She has
! always had the cordial sympathy and
effective aid OF the United States.
The names OF Perry, Harris. Bing-
ham. Grant and Roosevelt are insep-
arabic from Japan's attainment Of
her position as a world Power.
Now for the moment there is only
a little cloud w our friendship of
fifty years, but the greatest earth
quake OF the century could not shake
our amity. I do not intend to con-
slider details.
"The word war is not allowable in
diplomatic correspondence, but those
who are not diplomats can talk war.
I do not hold that war is entirely I'M
justi1able when International griev-
ances cannot otherwise be redressed.
But war is hell, and only a great
which cannot be settled by
diplomacy justihes it.
"A war between America and
Japan would be a crime against CIV
ilization. Neither people desires it,
and both Continents will strain
every nerve to prevent it"

The Old Orchards.

a definite plan for pruning old or
chards is given by the Ohio Expert,
ment Station as a result of trials with
an old rundown apple orchard on the
station farm. After trying various
plans, it was advised that during the
first season Of renewal the topmost
branches should be cut out leaving
all the healthy side branches. The
next season the horizontal branches
may be pruned so as to promote a uni
form, well-shaped head and top, the
large wounds caused by pruning
should be followed up by thinning the
vent decaying. The heading back
should befollowed up by thinning the
new shoots and getting back those Sc
lected for future Aruit bearing.

I of the Farm.

It takes about three months to grow
a broiler.
No brooder pen should contain v e
fifty chicks.
The goose lays a score or two OF
eggs in a year.
Broilers shrink about half a pound
each when dressed.
The shell of an egg contains about
SO grains of salt Of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for shipment.
From thirty-fve to forty ducks ana
brakes are allowed in d pen.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs
in about seven months laying.
Ten dozen eggs a year is the aver
age estimate given as the production
of the hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output or
the turkey.
Ducklings are marketed at five
pounds weight, which they should att
tain in ten weeks.
When possible to avoid, never give
a full draft Of water within an hour
after feeding. The effect is to carry
much undfgested food into the bowels,
producing serious disorganization

I hold that a man who has his sense

Early Lambs.

In the address by Joseph e. Wing,
at the annual meeting of the Pennsyl-
yania State Board of Agriculture, he
stated that the important thing for an
early lamb is to have constitution. AS
soon as the lamb arrives he shuts eve
and lamb or lambs together. Gradual
Iy increase the ewes feed, which
should be fed just like a dairy cow
to make milk Provide a lamb creep
In which wheat bran, coarse corn meal
and about ten percent OF oil meal is
placed, or corn alone and alfalfa. West
ern bran the lambs do not like, pre-
ferring only the fresh bran from ear
by mills. Pretty soon the lamb will
eat ear corn and alfalfa. Keeps
lambs shut up in a small yard.
Does not turn out to grass early be-
cause the early grass is simply col
ored water. Let the grass grow
awhile before putting anything on it.
Avoid parasites by getting the lambs
fat and OF to market before the para
sites are troublesome, which is us
ually about the first of July. Feeds
ear corn on pasture. Sheep do not
take parasites from alfalfa because
they Craze the alfalfa too high. To
keep lambs from parasites wean them,
keep them on hay and keep them on
old pastures. He turns ewes OF only
when they lose their teeth As long
Is a eve win bring an early lamb
