as yet the people have begun serious

question OF democratic leadership.
One must go back four or SIX years
for any certain expression OF popu-
lar feeling as 20 Mr.. Bryans availa-
bility. and as democrats particularly
have shown themselves TO be subject
to quick changes of mood, one can
noi take Mr.. Bryau's popularity then
as sure indication of his standing

pressions Jess ancient Early last

the Homeric descriptions of Mr.. Bry-
ans wanderings through Europe,
showed a disposition to nominate
him on the spot; and, when later he
landed upon his native shore, the
people did indeed proclaim him as
returning Ulysses. But since then
Mr.. Bryan has spoken somewhat on
the subject of government owner
ship of railroads. and. as every one
knows, his words so chilled the
hearts of thousands as to rob the
welcoming cheer of its echo. Those
| demonstrations, therefore, are not
an augury upon which the wise Will
tput great reliance.

fact is perhaps the more signiffcan'
for the reason that the gentleman en-
gagged in this work was until short
time ago one of Mr.. Hearst's journa-

as meaning. not only that Mr.. Bryan

If these speculations are true, rea-
son would have some facts to forge
into an opinion. But at best 1t would
be a small and brittle opinion, one
which could not account for the CON

The Rlqht View.

1t is not possible at this time to
make definite estimate of the per-
centage of damage to fruit in the
INSTRUMENTATION vslleys accru-
ing from the sudden turn of the
weather on Saturday night. The
Tribune cannot believe, however.
that the loss is of discouraging di-
mansions, or should be egarded as
other than an incident to which all
human eudeavors are exposed The
serious side of it, of course, is the
fact of this being the third consecu-
tive year that blight has overtaken
the tender crops of the valley, when
those who depend largely on horti-
culture can lily afford to go through
another lean year. But the Tribune
repeats that from all the informa-
ton it can gather, the misfortune,
while undoubtedly great, is nothing
like so great as first apprehensions
conceived. 1t may get worse, but
the chances all favor its getting
better. 1t will doubtless be found
that the trees will turn off a good
yield after all. But if there are
others not so hopeful, or who con-
slider it unbusiness like to depend
on an industry susceptible of fla
grant or repeated blight, then there
is obviously Just one thing to do.
We have great, rich country, with
fertile soil, abundantly watered,
and fructifying climate Such
country ought not, must not, de-
pend for its prosperity on the chance
of a 81 degree temperature coming
along for one night and paralyzing
the labor and hopes of all the year
We may not have another ~ degree

Tickets Treated as Commodity.

A new principle probably will
find acceptance in the newer phil
osophy of interstate and interstate
commerce sale of passenger
transportation exactly like potatoes
are sold, as a commodity conveying
absolute title transferable at the op-
tion of the buyer. 1t is rapidly be-
coming the common belief here
among government officials who
have to do with these matters that
the plan in vogue on the New
York Central lines must be uni
versally adopted by all railroads.
This plan is.
One may 60 to any New York
Central ticket office and buy a
mileage book at 2 cents flat a mile.
A 500-mile book costs $40; 1000
mile book $40. This book may be
used by man and his wife, the
conductor pulling for instance
200 mile coupons for the journey of
the man and wife TO Albany, 100
miles from New York city. This
rule applies to every station on the
entire system. Furthermore, the
buyer may take with him anyone
he pleases to take, whether or not
a member of his family. For in
stance, if he sees a friend on the
train, he may instruct the con-
ductor to pull twice the mileage for
! the distance; the two are going
from the same book Or he may
take thus as many persons as the
mileage of the book will carry.
Again, if he be temporarily in
the state or on the Cent? ais lines,
and when ready to leave that region
he have an unused part of one of
these books he may dispose of it to
anyone else without violating the
rules of the company There are
no restrictions as as to who shall
use it,
On New York Central branch
lines, the passenger rate is two
and a half to three cents a mile, if
ordinary tickets be bought, but
these two-cents-a-nile books are
good on any part of the system.
rhis rule is on the theory that
purchase of passenger transportation
is not merely a personal contract
limited to being carried out only as
to the original buyer, but that
rather it is the purchase of a
commodity much as the purchase
of a sack of potatoes, with the
feature of a contract to give safe
carriage to the holder of a ticket.
The commodity is to be consumed
in quantities and manner to suit
the wish of the original buyer.

Great is the SUGAR Beet.

The beet sugar industry is every
day attracting more attention and
becoming more important in the
United States. Since 1880 this in
dustry has been in existence in GER
tain parts of the United States; new
er exerting notable influence even
on local markets, however, until a
few years ago. In 1890 only two
beet sugar factories existed in this
country. Today in several Amer
lean states beet sugar making is
source of large revenue. factories
in several states employing hun
dreds of workmen. In Michigan
there are sixteen of these factories,
and farmers in that state are re-
ceiving annually about SO, 0OO,O
for sugar beets. About three
months ago a beet sugar factory
costing $1,000, 5000 was built in
Kansas, and the raising of sugar
beets in that state, already a wide
ly extended vocation, bids fair in
the near future to reach enormous
proportions. Sugar beets, it is
stated, usually bring in from $50
to 500 profit per acre. They are
easily raised, grow well on a great
variety OF soils, and are but little,
if at all, affected by frost, afford
ing more certain crops than most
other agricultural products. About
O., 72O, 600, 600 pounds of sugar is
annually consumed in America, of
which amount only ten per cent is
produced at home, the remaining 90
pre- cent costing about S12O, 500, 600
annually being imported. -Nampa

night Oh the first of May for ten
years and still we may have OF
during succession of years. The
country is too great and the peo-
pies prosperity too vital for them
to depend largely on such chance
conditions. Beyond that, esc
householder should map out b S
own course as to preferred crops ur-
on which he may rely, with I
tender varieties as an adjunct rather
than as the essential. The first
thing to seek is safety. With safe
crops, that give assurance of COM
fort and Righteousness, the mors
delicate crops will be sure to fur
nish in their season profit and pros
perity. There is no reason why we
should not learn and derive wisdom
and strength, not disappointment,
and weakness from experience. We
have all the elements of success and
fortune here and if we do not adapt
ourselves to them and bring sound
principles into our various voca-
tions and opportunities, we must
not lay all the blame on nature,
but take a fair share of it home TO
ourselves. Lewiston Tribune.

ing the utility of dry farming for
tins state, for he quotes figures
10 show that there are probably
from 1900, 900 to 100000
acres in Montana, which from
conditions and quality of soil could
probably be farmed but which can
never, under any circumstances, be
brought under irrigation The
question is whether these cannot
be farmed by special methods with
only the natural precipitation.
Prof. Linfield discusses the mat
ter Of the distribution of rainfall,
both by areas and seasons, and de-
cides that there are many areas
available in Montana where there
are from IA inches up of annual
rainfall, with at least seven inch
es in the months of April, May,
June and July. In such places he
figures that there should be no
trouble in securing good results.
Montana has more regular CHI
mate, he notes, than some of its
neighbors and he believes that the
natural vegetation is more 1uxur-
liant than in the mountain states
just south west of us
Prof. Liufield states that the
greatest amount of experiment in
these directions has peen made in
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.
Utah has made beginning. Some
experimenting in this line has been
going on for several years, but
last year was the first year when
the work was organized enough to
give any positive results. That
| year the work was carried on with
the fund furnished by the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern rail-
roads, and the state of Montana,
to the amount of $500.
The general results of the work
as settled by the experiment of in
vestigators elsewhere and tested by
the experience in this state last
year, are set forth by Prof. AtKin-
son, who had the immediate direc-
tion of the farming as the raising
of crops work. Frof. Atkinson de-
fines dry farming as the raising of
| crops where the annual precipita-
/ ton is less than eighteen inches.
/ The average he computes for the
dry area of Montana, is less than
/ this, probably about 13 inches.
( This would be enough to mature
3 bushels of wheat TO the scre if
it were all available. 1t is not /;
! but under certain circumstances
crops as large as this have been
raised.
Prof Atkinson summarizes his
results as follows:
The formation of a deep seed bed
to act as soil moisture reservoir.
Careful packing of the soil to es-
II
tablish the packing of the soil par
ticles and assist in the rise OF the
moisture, summer following each
alternate year and by summer Gull
tivation storing the moisture for
the succeeding crop.
Growing hardy strains of the diff
ferent crops so that the largest per-
centage of the moisture will be
utilized
Growing fall and early ripening
strains of spring grain in order that
the growth may be attained during
June and July.
This seeding so that the moisture
may not be wasted in producing
numerous stems, and none be pres
ent to ripeu the grain.
Growing intertilled crops like
corn and potatoes as the possible
constant cultivation retains the
moisture for the growth.
Growing some nitrogen-gathering
crop occasionally to keep supply of
this element In the soil. Rocky
