The Cayuse Is Giving Way to the
Light Harness Animal.

''In the Yakima valley" said ]. H..
Woodside. to Yakima Republic re-
porter, "the cayuse is giving way to
fine type of light harness horse.
In the three years since I came here
there has been a great change in this
respect. There is a better and ever
imprdoving class of breeding stock
and the result Is apparent.
There is certainly great improv"
ment in the driving horses to ~ "oe1
here" said II. B. Scudder lone of
the main causes, I think, is that as
people obtain more money they go out
after a better class of animals. Many
people here have purchased horses at
Ellensburg which has always seemed
to be ahead of us in that respect"
II have been coming here for
years" said ]. B. Jones, Of Seattle
"and beyond question the change in
the character of the horses seen is
one of the greatest to be found In
and about North Yakima. The ami
mails on the street here will compare
with the light harness horses of any
city and incidentally they mean an
improvement in the condition of the
streets and roads of the city and ad-

BOOM IN DRY FARMING.
Hopeful Activity on the Deserts OF
Wyoming This Year.

The Cheyenne Tribune publishes
the following graphic review of the
activity in dry farming in that vicin-
ity during the present season:
During the present summer home
steads have been filed upon in eastern
Laramie county at rate of nearly
three a day all summer generally by
dry farmers, says the Tribune.
These same settlers have bought an
equal amount of land from land COM
panies who are bringing them into
the state and locating them on the
lands.
Ranchmen no longer scorn dry
farming, but nearly all of them have
heard of DR.. Cooke and his method
and are giving it trial.
M. P. Wheeler of Casper, writes to
DR.. Cooke as follows: 81 followed
your instructions in sowing my rye
last year. / had 61a acres and cut 13
tons of rye hay without a drop of ir-
rigation, so l believe you are on the
right track"
The Utah Arid Farming company, a
single concern, harvested 1000 acres
of grain this week in Utah under the
Cooke system.
Good dry farming crops have been
raised in Colorado this year, although
the season was unusually trying.
DR.. Cooke has received an order
from Australia for 800 pounds of Wy
oming dry farming potatoes.
The coming state fair will have the
largest exhibit of dry farming crops
ever placed on exhibition before.
Irrigation farmers at Wheatland
and elsewhere are taking advantage
of the dry farming system to make
their water do more work and get
better results than ever before.
Laramie county farmers are urged
to save good specimens Of their dry
farming crops for the state fair and
to exhibit in Cheyenne at the time
of the dry farming congress.

FREIGHT RATES MAKE LUMBER HIGHER

A Seattle paper says Of the advance
in freight rates on lumber and the
cost of lumber:
A resolution was introduced and
passed by congress last winter au-
thorizing the bureau of corporations
of the department of commerce and
labor to investigate the cause of the
high price of lumber This investi-
CATION is now under way. The lum-
ber manufacturers of the country
welcome it, because they say the real
cause will be ncovered-excessive
freight rates.
Washington, Oregon, California,
Idaho and Montana contain 900,000,-
100000 feet of standing timber
enough to construct 45,0OO,O 900
houses, and sufficient to care for the
wants of the entire United States for
a period of rs years. This region
contains over 1000 saw and shingle
mills, employing 10000 persons, and
a payroll of approximately s135,000,-
900 a year. Last year these states
shipped by rail 100000 tons of lum-
Der, on which the freight charges
were not far from S150,000,000. The
entire operating expenses of the
Northern Pacific are paid by the lum-
bermen of the state of Washington
alone, and the most profitable busi-
ness of all the transcontinental lines
is this very same lumber haul. Were
1t not for the forests on the Pacific
coast the entire traffic of all the
lines could be handled by one road.
The cost of producing this lumber
at the present time is about $3.50
per 1000 feet, and the average selling
price is about SIS per 1000 feet at the
mill.
Freight Exceeds First Cost.
Freight charges are so high that in
many cases the original selling price
of lumber is exceeded. For exam
pie, rough lumber weighs 1900
pounds per 1000 feet and by adding
the freight charges one can ascertain
the delivered price per 1000 feet at
the following points:

and. it's net earnings $116,704, 4,933.20.
Much Good Timber Burned.

Grating expenses were S,1S3,460.
and its net earnings 6,704,933.20.
Much Good Timber Burned.
Several years ago the lumbermen
of the states of Washington and Ore
gon petitioned the railroads for a re-
duction in rates of 10 cents per
100 pounds to the middle west. on the
ground that they were burning up
annually $4,000 carloads of lumber
in the woods and at the sawmills be-
cause of lack of market for cheap
lumber. Their request was refused,
however, Notwithstanding the fact
that the cost of haul is $1200.44 per
tdainload, and the revenues at 40 cents
per 100 pounds would be $6120 per
trainload. This waste of timber is
still going on. During the past two
years the average time of movement
of a carload of lumber. Puget Sound
to st. Paul, was 120 days, and the
Pacific coast lumberman lost $15,-
100000 in cancellation of orders. In
1905 the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific added Just one locomotive
to the equipment of the two roads,
dspite the fact that the earnings were
the greatest in their history.
The railroads have announced an
increase in rates of 10 cents per 100
pounds. effective October 1, which
will add to the cost of lumber just
$3.50 per 1000 feet in all the terri
tory east of the Rocky mountains, ex-
cept Nebraska and Kansas, where the
pounds, or s1.65 per 1000 feet. The
reason given is the haul of empty
cars. The cost Of lumber under the
new rates will show as follows:

ew rates will show as follows:

The freight charges exceed the cost
of lumber in every instance. This
means that additional cost of con-
structing a dwelling will be s66, be-
cause the lumbermen of the Pacific
coast are in no position to absorb the
raise in rates.

After this explanation one can
readily understand why, for example,
the Hill and Hartman lines own and
control the Pacific coast and explains
the immense increase in railroad
earnings from year to year. For ex-
ample, the gross earnings Of the
Northern Pacific during the years
1900 to 1906. inclusive, were s208,-

Washington, Feb. 26.-It has been
decided not to accept any bids for
building Of the Panama canal. This
announcement was made following the
meeting Of the cabinet and after the
president had been in conference for

In his letter to the chairman Of the

states that the purpose of the con-
tract was to secure in the building of
the canal the services of the best,

contractors in the country at the
least risk to them and at the least
expense to the government. This pur-
pose failed, he stated. and there was
no longer any object for doing the
work by contract.

ATTORNEY JEROME COMPLETES
cRoss-ExAMlNATIoN OF Ev.
ELYN NEssiT THAW.

Aside From Certain Admissions Re-
earding Her Relations With stan
ford White and With Her Husband
Before Their Marriage the Prosecu.
ton Fails to Shake Her Story an
Told on Direct Examination.
New York, Feb. 26.-District Attor-
ney Jerome has finished his long
cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw at the trial of her husband
on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw had been
under the district attorneys fire for
nearly FIVE court days. His conclud-
Ing questions had to do with what the
witness observed as to Thaw's man
ner when he would chance to meet
White. She said he acted as q person
In q At.
Mrs. Thaw said her husband would
remember the meetings and talk Of
them. From Christmas, 1903. until
he shot White he believed the archi-
tect had set the Monk Eastman gang
upon him. He constantly feared
White and said he IA being perse-
cuted by him.
Mr.. Jerome called Abraham H.
Hummel to the stand to question him
regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit
h alleged to have made against Thaw
In his Office. Beyond the fact that the
girl went to the lawyers Office and
that he dictated to a st~enographer
while she was there the district at
torney was powerless to bring out
anything more because of the contin-
aed objection Of Mr.. Delmas.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld the objec-
Mons ON the ground that collateral
testimony cannot be taken to discredit
The witness.
At the conclusion Of her cross-ex-
animation Mrs. Thaw was recalled by
Mr.. Delmas for redirect examination.
Evelyn Thaw's story Intact.
To the observer 1t Is not evident
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's story has
been broken to any great extent. The
cross-examlnation brought out the
fact that Evelyn Nesbit lived with
Thaw as his wife for a ear and q
half before they were married, but
there was no attempt made to con.
oanI tht. foot Mru ThoU aHtnItfaA
1t without bubble. She also admitted
that her relations with White contin-
ued for several morths after her al.
legged ravishment. She also admitted
that Thaw tent cable messages to
White In her name asking him to In
terfere to prevent her mother from
making trouble while she and Thaw
were travelling together In Europe.
Aside from these admissions, how
ever, her story stands practically as
she told 1t on her direct examination.
Occasionally Mr.. Jerome succeeded in
Inducing her to make her statements
more positive. but he was unable to
Induce her to fix dates with any GER
tainty. On these matters her memory
proved to be very bad.
That Mr.. Jerome will attempt to
%controvert many Of her statements
seems probable. He has confronted
her with DIR. Carlton Flint, whom she
declared she had never seen before.
Mr.. Jerome several times asked her II
It were not true that she had gone to
DR.. Flint with Jack Barrymore and
she denied that she had. 1t is also
said that MIR. Jerome will place on
the stand several chorus girls and
others who knew of the relations be-
tween Miss Nesbit and Stanford
