FARMING IN THE SOUTHWEST

The Chehalis Bee-Nugget an
nounces the conclusion of a series Of
interesting and successful farm in
stitute sessions in that city The
meetings were attended by about
seventy-fve farmers, representing the
progressive residents of Lewis coun-
ty. Profs. r. w Thatcher, r. X,
Beattie and Ira Whitney, OF the state
college, were present and gave in
structions In the various arts of
modern agriculture. Prof. Thatcher
stated. that the legislature had ap-
propriated $4,000 for institute
work because of the demands made
by the farmers of Southwestern
Washington for more instruction in
the field of diversified farming.
Dairying was the principal topic
Of discussion at the Chehalis farm
meetings. 1t is a field which appeals
with great force to the agricultur-
lists of that section. A beginning
has been made, and in every locality
where the COWS receive proper atten-
ton the people enjoy full measure
of prosperity. The central theme,
as usual, connected the farmer with
the process of making money from
his labor. 1t handled the matter of
feeding for profit. In this the in
structors demonstrated the great
value of logged-off lands for growing
clover. Every student stated that
red clover was superior to all other
grasses for dairy purposes. And
that grows to perfection in the fields
OF Southwestern Washington.
The farmers institutes have be-
come the recognized schools for Civ
ing thorough instruction in the work
of tilling the soil for profit. They
are supplied by the state and distrib-
uted throughout the various sections
to reach as many farmers as posi-
Bile The lecturers are taken from
the state college because of having
practical experience in the different
branches of farming. They are not
mere theorists, but give the results
as obtained by the experimental de-
partment of the college. That
branch is mainland by appropria-
lions from both the state and nation,
and is complete in it's methods of
growing, handling marketing farm
products.
Southwestern Washington pre-
sents a large field for the develop
ment of agriculture in all its branch
es. The lands are fertile and the eli
mate excellent. Market facilities are
at the door of the farmers. The
greatest difficulty lies in the clear
ing of logged-off lands. And that is
no longer subject for worry to the
industrious tiller of the soil. The
day of machinery has removed much
of the old-time drudgery, and made
farming as desirable an occupation
as any other form OF labor and CAPT.
tai investment. The institute school
has opened in a good place, and its
results can easily be figured. There
is a future of rich harvests in the
lands of the big Southwest. |.

The Auto Speed Craze.

1t seems to be the case in m3ny COM
munities, notably in the large cities
and their envir0ns. that tie speed
mania had got into the brains Of court
officials and the police as well as the
drivers of automobiles. When high
speeding auto driver is arrested the
question of his liability turns on his
rate of speed. If it cannot be proved
that he exceeded fixed rata he gees
free.
Now, the question for the public is
not the rate of speed, but the menace
to life and limb. and that M = be pres
ent whe1 the machine is Going ten
miles an hour and absent V'hen it is
flying along at the rate Of mile a
minute The speed should be adjusted
TO the nature and conditions OF the
traffic and use of the highway and
should not be such as to e:ldancer the
life Or limb Of any person G.. the safe
t. of any property. In ether words,
the rate Of speed is of snail moment
to the public. but the amount OF dan
ger involved is of vital Importance.
There is one simple waT to enforce
this idea. The license of railway or
stationary engineer or steamboat
pilot who is reckless or Incompetent is
revoked The reckless motorst should
be deDosed. He not only should be
made to smart for inpairing life and
limb, but for endangering life and
limb. No special danger signal is need
ed to warn him. His signal is a thor
oughfare ahead occupied by pedes-
TRANS or vehicles or both.

Again the Great Northern has
demonstrated that disasters never
come singly. Less than year ago,
one of her magnificent Oriental
trains was destroyed by wreck and
fire. Less than six months ago the
Dakota-one of the largest freighters
the world ever saw, was wrecked in
broad daylight on the coast of Japan
under conditions that seemed to
make the wrecking almost criminal.
Last Friday the third disaster took
place when another Oriental train
was wrecked, ditched and burned.
The superstitious would say that
disasters not only do not come singly
but they come in threes.- Seattle

The reform wave demanding a bet
ter control Of the liquor traffic Is
spreading from the cities TO the coun-
try. Even the little city of Cathla-
met On the banks of the Columbia
has determined to close up the sa-
looms on the Sabbath day This is
the proper thing to do for many
reasons: In the first place the Sab
bath should be a day of quiet and
order-and not a day of riot and dis
order. But all know that the latter
viii prevail where liquors are freely
sold on Sunday. Again, there is as
much need for the stomach to rest
on Sunday from the exciting influ-
ences of alcohol as for the body to
rest from work Then above all
the law of the state requires that
the saloons shall be closed on the
Sabbath.-Seattle Times.

INLAND WATER

Meeting Will Be Held in Houston.

Delegates From the Terminal Of the
Waterways Not Yet Appointed. The
Mayor Of Victoria has Set Aside
Nov. 8 as Holiday.

Brownsville, the proposed ter
minal of the Interstate Inland
Waterways, has not yet announced
her list of delegates to the meeting
of the Inland Waterways League
on the 9Th of November in the
city of Houston. The completion
of the proposed waterways means
more for Brownsville than for any
other point on the route from the
Rio Grande to the Mississippi.
President Roosevelt only yester-
day announced his hearty coopera-
ton on the scheme of the league.
1t is to be hoped that enough men
will come forward to enable the
Mayor to announce a fine delega-
ton at an early day,
Corpus Christi will send de-
legation of so of the most pro-
minent citizens.
A dispatch from Victoria says:
Mayor Schneider has issued a
proclamation, setting aside No
vember 8 as a holiday. This is
because of the start that the in
tercoastal canal enterprise received
at this place, the the first call and
convention taking place here. The
mayor urges that all places of bus
mess be closed on that day, and
asks that large number 60 from
here to the waterways convention
at Houston. 1t is thought that a
special train will carry the Cuerc
and Victoria crowd over.
Corpus Christi has indicated
that she will send fifty delegates,
Cuero 100 and Victoria 100. He
also states that Louisiana will
send fully 200 delegates.

The Dog Protected the Deer.

A man whom l know has been
staying in New Hampshire this
summer, and he tells that one day
as he was driving over the hills
he saw a beautiful deer drinking
out of the trough by the waysidde.
So intent was she that she did not
seem to notice a dog which was
trotting down the road towards
her. Fearful lest harm should
come to the graceful little creature
the man tried to drive the dog
away. What was his surprise to
see the deer, when she had finished
drinking, turn to the dog, greet
him by rubbing her nose against
him, while he responded by lick
ing her face. Then together they
trotted away over the fields, evil
IDENTIFY on the best of terms. He
spoke of his adventure to his New

wife, who found it, just new
born baby, in the field by her farm
house. The mother had been kill

TO PROTECT COPYRIGHTS.
Comprehensive Bill to Be Reintro

bill to consolidate and revise the acts
respecting copyright will be reintroduced
by Senator Kittredge of South Da 4 in
a few days and referred to the committee
on patents. of which he.is chairman. This
in part is the measure for which The pub
nshers of the country are contending. 1t
is designed to afford better protection to
authors and publishers by it's broader
scope and the severity of the penalties
provided. The bill contains fifty-eight
sections.
Some of the penalties provided in case
OF infringement are as follows: In =. e
case OF painting. statue or sculpture of
any KIND, $40 for every infringing copy
maze or sold by or found in the possess
sion of the infrinser or his agents>or en-
ployes: in the case of a lecture, sermon
or address, $50 for every Infringing de-
livery; IN the case of a dramatic or
dramatico- musical or choral or orchestral
composition 500 for the first and $50 for
every subsequent infringing performance;
and in the case of all other works enumer-
ated in the act 81 for every infringing
copy made or sold or fond i'm the pos
session of the infringer or his agents or
employees.
The portion of the bill dealing with pen
alties is conceded to be the most import
ant and has aroused the most interest
and discussion. The bill was reported
favorably by. the committee last session
IN the form in which it will be reintro-
duced this winter.
