estate Chemist Gibson, who has
been spending several days in making
tests Of various lime and sulphur so
buttons for killing San Jose scale to
find the proportion. of the ingredients
contained in the most effective solu-
ton, has finished his examination of
a mixture with which he has been ex-
perimenting,H says, the Boise States
man.
This solution had been prepared
by him and tried on the scale by B.
IF Hurst, one of Horticultural Inspee-
tor Hits, assistants. 1t was found
to be tho most effective of all mixtures
heretofore tried and is believed by
Mr.. Gibson to be considerably cheaper
than the several commercial mixtures
now, on the market.
"The new solution, on careful analy-
sis, was found to contain 261a per
cent of sulphur, and II per cent Of
lime.
ut is made into solution by form
ing paste of sulphur and water and
placing it in a barrel with slaked
lime, without artificial heat the high
temperature. secured by the slaked
lime being sufficient to cause the two

the water in the form Of calcium sui
phide. which is the active principle in
the eradication of the scale.
ITO this mixture quantity of COM
mon salt is added, which also forms q

as the suiphide formula by the lime
The salt in the mixture is valuable
however, in that it aids in keeping this

The Extra Session

Democratic papers for partisan
purposes VIII proceed to condemn
Governor Dawson for calling an ex-
ira session OF the legislature, but,
perhaps. If they should but read
the advice given them as follows
by the Charleston Gazette, a leading
Democratic paper, they would be
benefited to the extent of being i'm
pressed with the righteousness OF
their harpIng attitude and the ex-
o of their being opposed to the
popular will:
"our Democratic friends mus.
not rend their garments because
Governor Dawson desires to have
an extra session of the Legislature
in order t have that body carry
out his plans for tax reform. We
have opposed these plans. The peo-
pie, however. have twice ratified
them al the polls and IL the governor
thinks, as he must. that the legisla-
ture at the last session made a slip,
whereby the supreme court was com
PEELED to hold that the whole of the.
governors plan is not expressed in
the present statutes, it is the gov
ernor's right, and. from a political
standpoint, 1t is his duty. to ask the
legislature to do now what 1t seem
ingIy attempted to do, but failed in
some particulars. While we age
politically opposed to the governors
plans, we mustecsnoede hat he has
had the courage to fight for them:
and, in now demanding that his
party shall stand for those plans,
even If it shall require an extra lei
sion. there is nothing to- surprise
us. The people knew when they
elected Governor Dawson in 1904
and they elected the present legis-
lature, that both are pledged to the
Governors plans. We should be
fair and concede to the chief exec
utive entire consistency"

II MAN ON
THE MONUMENT

Pulling his overcoat tightly d
him the Telegram reporter hustled up
the steps of the court house plaza.
The wind howled mournfuiiy around
the corner of the big public building
which doomed high above him ana
nearly lifted him from his feet. Few
people were aDout as the air was raw
and cold and those who were about
were hurrying in~doorwards. Just as
he was about to mount the first OF
the steps in the flight leading To the
door of the court house he heard u
faint cry seemingly directed toward
him. Looking around the plaza he
say no one within It. The cry came
apparently from the soldiers monu-
ment to his left which arose from the
ground like a big white ghost in the
semi-darkness. A piece of white coy
ering that draped the statue on the
monument tapped in the wind.
4 Hey. come over here" came the
voice from the monument.
The reporter stepped over toward
Just II little closer, please came

Voice. Pull this canvass over a biz

The newspaper man. like one I'M

request.

about to interfere, I'll tell you lots of

ment, You'd be surprised at the
things l hear UP here" hi Man on
the Monument snickered at what was
almost a pun. Folks waiting for
cars. loafers and others let loose of

plaza: II | suppose If they knew i

Won His Spurs

Secretary of the Treasury George
B. Cortelyou has won his spurs and
is fully entitled to wear them, says
the Springfield. Ohio Gazette. That
paper finds that tine recent financial
furry has amply tested the> secre-
tary's mettle and shown 1t to be
satisfactory even for the most. ex-
acting.
When President Roosevelt an
nounced that the treasury portfolio
in his cabinet had been bestowed
upon George B. Cortelyou. says the
Gazette, there were many who smil-
ed, with the thought that Roosevelt
could not be blamed for taking care
of his friends, and that the prosper
ity of the country was upon such a

do except to look pleasant anG
draw his salary.
They figured hat it did o mat
ter much who was aat the head of
the treasury department. being un-
able to foresee any trouble ahead,
50 they dreamed on in blissful nm
consciousness of the perils which
were. shortly to be faced by the new
head of the treasury. But sudden
~ they awoke to find that President
Roosevelt was a better Judge of
men than they, and that in placing
his former private secretary at the
head of the treasury department he
had secured a nan who was per-
haps better flied for the place than
any man to whom it had been II
trusted since Alexander Hamilton
created 1t.
Columns have been written
about the heroic manner in which
Morgan and other big fnancieres
went to the rescue. but we have
heard little of the resourcefulness,
calm and deliberate judgment and
cool and decisive action of this
youngest secretary of the treasury
at a time when a single false move
would have been disastrous.
When Mr.. Cortelyou went to New
York 1t is doubtful il any Of the
bankers expected much from him.
but no sooner had they consulted
with him than they discovered that
he was a mar of action and not
words-a man whose everX move
on the financial chessboard meant
something.
There are always to be found
dissatisfied people who will see in
Mr.. Cortelyou's actions a disposition
on the part of the United States
government to rush to the aid OF

Further Cause For Thanks.

Announcement from the financial
centers that all 70 the banks that
temporarily resorted to the use
of certified checks and clearing
house certificates have made prepa-
r~ations to resume currency pay
ments serves as the funeral knenl
of the recent money scare. fttingly
styled by one newspaper as the
flash-in-the-pan financial furry.
Already a number or the banks
in the larger cities have resumed
currency payments n within a day
or two the bank certificate will be
a thing of history. Gradually the
people have a~scertained that the re-
cent money stringency was the re-
suit only of fright occasioned by the
revelations of Observation-Disclosures
by high financiers in New York and
not because of actual Industrial and
commercial depression. Those who
became frightened and drew their
money from banks are drawing it
out of socks, mattresses and other
unsafe places and replacing It in
the banks and bringing it back into
circulation. Confidence has been
restored and prosperity continues IN
full sway. Capitalists, %fnanciers,
bankers and government officers be-
lieve the chief lesson of the panic is
that a more elastic currency be pro-
vided. This will of course be given
attention by congress at it's forth
coming session and necessary prac-
teal measures will be taken toward
the desideratum. Thus will another
barricade be built to Withstand
Grim Panic.
Certainly the people of the nation
have further aus to be thank
full.
