Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Nov. 23.-After all the
Edison company will not furnish lights
for the new fire station on Dakota and
Mentor ctreets. as Mayor Farley today
gave his consent to the expenditure OF
money to pay the cost of running wires
from the municipal plant to these sta
tions.
superintendent Glass of the municipal
plant estimates the cost at $500. Since
the mayor has maintained that the
electric light fund has already been
largely overdrawn, it is supposed the
expense will come from the general
fund.
At the last meeting of the city COM
missioners the mayor was delegated to
make terms with the Edison company
to furnish the lights, and although the
council did not sanction such a move
it is understood the Edison company
refused to comply with any such ar
rangement without long time con-
tract.

HENEY WILL SUE.
Climax to Bitter War With TREY L
Foru's LAWYER.

San Francisco, Oct. 17.-Francis j..
Heney announced today that he intend
ed to bring suit for criminal libel
against Earl Rogers, chief counsel for
TREY L. Ford, the indicted attorney for
the United Railroads. Mr.. Heney will
base his suit on an article published
over the signature of Mr.. Rogers, in
which the statement was made that
members of the prosecution had used
undue influence upon G. W. Strange, a
Juror in the Ford case, who voted for
conviction.
Mr.. Heney came out in this morn
ing's papers with an open letter asking
Mr.. Rogers either to supply the proof
of his assertions or to retract. This
afternoon Mr.. Heney summoned Mr.
Rogers before the grand jury, stepped
out of the room and asked Mr.. Rogers
to lay his evidence before the Jury. Mr.
Rogers hedged and finally said that III
believed the grand jury an unfair bod.
and would not take advantage of Mr.
Heney's offer. 1t was then that Mr.
Heney declared that he would sue.

APPEAL OF BEEF PACKERS.
Novel Grounds for Objection to Fine
Under EIkins Law.

Washington, Oct. 17.-In the brief
of the Armour, Swift and Cudahy Pack
ing compmanies, praying for a writ OF
certiorari, which was received by the
Supreme court of the United States to-
day, and in which it is sought to have
the court review the $4,000 fine i'm
posed on each Of the companies by the
United States District court for the
Western district of Missouri, several
novel grounds are outlined.
1t is stated that the Elkins act, under
which the fines were levied, does not
apply to shipper unless he is guilty
of some bad faith or fraudulent conduc,
in using some kind Of device dis
honest or underhand method to obtair
rebate, concession or discrimination
1t is also alleged that the Elkins ac
does not apply to export shipments
The jurisdiction of the Missouri courts
is denied in the claim that the evidence
shows that the concessions were obtain
ed in Kansas for transportation east o
the Mississippi river. 1t is also hel'
that the indictment under which tn
convition was had was not sufficient.

NEW HYBRID WHEAT.
Washington Experiment Station Cross
es BIuestem and Turkey Red.

The Washington State Experiment
station now believes it has succeeded in
combining Bluestem and Turkey Red
wheat into a hybrid variety which can
be grown with superior results in the
wheat-raising districts Of the Pacific
Northwest. This experiment was be-
gun in 1908, and the purpose in view
was to grow winter wheat, which
would lack the boards of the Turkey
Red, and still possess its attractive
qualities as a winter wheat. Bluestem
being valuable for flour making pur-
poses, but not we'll adapted to fall sow-
ing, was crossed with the Turkey Red.
The result Of cross produces what Is
known as "hybrid," the term simply
meaning union between two flowers
or plants not Of the same variety. In
all work OF this nature, no definite re-
suits are obtainable until the second
generation, or, during the second years
growth after the CROSS has been made.
Since the first Cross was made, in 1908,
each year the station staff has selected
the plants that possessed the character
istics of the desired hybrid. Thirteen
perfect plants were obtained from the
cross of 1908, and now seventeen
thousand of them are growing.
The hybrid Is peculiar in Its inter-
mixing Of the qualities of Bluestem and
Turkey Red. The straw grown favors
Bluestem, but the leaf formation is
much like that Of the Turkey Red. For
this reason Prof. Lawrence, in charge
of the experiment, is not absolutely
sure that the new wheat will in every
way be adapted to all wheat raising
districts OF Eastern Washington. In
nearly all instances the kernel favors
the Turkey Red, although in few In
stances the grain Is white like Blue-
STEM

soils in the seacoast regions. Follow
ing are the results Of the analysis:
The sample sent in by ]. j., Of
Rdgefeld, Clark county, is lacking in p
available potash and lime. The most
beneficial treatment for this condition
of affairs is from 500 to 1000 pounds
per acre of slaked lime, and 1000 to
2, 900 pounds per acre of sulphate OF
potash, both applied broadcast in the
spring after the ground has been we'll
ploe.d The applications should be har-
rowed in we'll. There is no question
but that the soil in the region of Ridge
field needs this sort Of treatment.
The sample sent in by F. W., taken
from the White river valley between
Seattle and Tacoma contains surpris-
ingly large amount of lime for West
Side soil. However it is very low in
potash, and not we'll supplied with
phosphoric acid. Potash fertilizers
would therefore be likely to give the
best results Of any single fertilizer in
gredent. have advised Mr.. w. to
try about 100 pounds per acre of sui
phate Of potash, and about 200 pounds
per acre Of bone meal, applied to the
soil early in the spring and we'll work.
ed in before the crop is planted.
. The sample sent in by W. H. W., OF
Little Falls, Lewis county, is we'll sup
piled with nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and humus, and fairly we'll with pot
ash; but is very low in lime. I have
advised that 500 pounds per acre Of
slaked lime be applied after the ground
is plowed. 1t should be we'll narrowed
, in. This is all the treatment that the
soil of Lewis county needs, so far as we
: are able to tell by chemical analysis.
From Raymond, Pacific county, F. B.
. S. sends in sample Of red clay soil
which we find to contain percentage
Of lime only about one-twentieth as
great as 1t should be fer the best results.
; The supply of potash is also very low.
+ I have no doubt that the heaviest ap-

t can make will give very beneficial re-
0 suits on this type Of soil, although some
Q Of the Pacific county farmers have tried

r we have recommended about 100

j A. A., of Rosburg, Wahkiakum
G county, has sent us sample OF soil
: which we find to be low in lime and
9 potash. The other ingredients are

MUST FURNISH STAKES.
Railroad Also Forces Lumbermen t.
Pay Freight on Them.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The case OF
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufactur-
ers' association against the Norhern Pa
cifc railway will come up tomorrow be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion in what is known as the "car stake
case" The association complains in
common with several other similar as
sociations that the railroads compel
lumber shippers, not only to supply
stakes on fiat or gondola cars, but also
to pay freight on the stakes. Testimo-
ny shows that each stake contains 13A
feet of lumber, which at eight to the
car on 100, 900 ars at $40 per thousand
for lumber OF the kind used means an
extra tax for stakes per annum in the
Pacific Northwest of $4,000. The
railroads answer is that the stakes are
not part of the normal equipment,
hence the roads should not furnish
them. Commissioner Lane today said
the Spokane rate case would not be
decided within month.

Capers Recommends This When the
Stuff Is Suited for Beverage.

Stuff Is Suited for Beverage.
Washington, Oct. l6.-Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue Capers has rem
dered a decision relative to the manu-
facture and sale of alleged medicinal
alcoholic compounds, where on anal
ysis it is found that the said alleged
medicinal compounds are suitable for
use as beverage.
Summing up an elaborate opinion,
the commissioner holds as follows:
"That a special tax is required for
the manufacture and sale of alleged
medicinal alcoholic compounds, or for
the sale of the malt eytracts manufac.
tured from fermented liquors, the drugs
used in the manufacture of which are
not sufficient in amount OF character to
render the compound unfit as bev-
erage, or in the case of cordials, ex-
tracts or essences, in which the amount
Of alcohol is greater than is necessary
to preserve the ingredients or to extract
the properties or to cut the oils, and
hold the same in solution.
Manufacturers of alcohol medicina
compounds, malt extracts, flavoring ex
tracts, essences and soda water syrups
who wish to avoid liability for specia
taxes must satisfy themselves that theil
products are within the limits hereiI
defined, and those who put out alco
holic compounds of doubtful medicina
value or containing a questionable pro
cess of alcohol must do 80 at the risk o
being required to pay special taxes TO
the manufacture and sale Of the same.
