SECRETARY TAFT's PLATFORM.
Has Set Forth His Ideas in Recent
Speeches.

The salient features of Secretary
Taft's address at Columbus were:
He favors additional railroad rate
legislation notably an increase of pow
er to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
He favors changes in the antitrust
law which will more clearly define it.
He believes there can be such a
thing as a lawful trust, but empha-
sizes the danger of unlawful monopo-
lies.
He does not agree with Mr.. Bryan
as to the trust license plan and as
to what should be done with the
trusts"
He is in favor of remedying the
Swollen fortune" evil and suggests
state legislation.
He belives that the graduated inner
itance and income tax might be prop
erly resorted to by the government in
case of financial emergency.
He denies that Roosevelt's policies
are socialistic and that the president
was responsible for state legislation
reducing railroad passenger rates or
for Wall street flurries. -
He designates Mr.. Bryan's scheme
of government as "nerveless" and de-
pies the practicability of a national
referendum.
He comes out squarely against gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
He announces that he is against
free trade, but favors tariff revision,
and believes there should be no tariff
tinkering until after the next presi-
Dental election.

VALUES OF THE OSTRICH.
Full Grown One Worth $500, the Eggs
Are Worth $25.

Arthur c. Hummer of Los Angeles
says ostrich eggs are worth $25. The
chicks are only worth $50. The full
grown ostrich is worth $500 to $500.
The average pluck is about one pound,
and is worth, on an average, about $50.
The best ostrich feathers come from
the Levant and the north and west
coasts Of Africa. Southern California
and Arizona have ostrich farms. The
American ostrich is only about half
the size of the African bird and its
feathers and eggs bring much less.
London sets the price on ostrich
feathers which, when the bird is four
years old, bring as high as 500 per
pound, the poorer grades selling as
low as $50. The eggs vary in value
from $40 to $25. Diseases cause about
third of the chicks to die in this
country.

up about II a. M. and sent two men
to their death and injured some IN
others. The dead: Richard Thomn-

Immediately after the explosion the
acid tanks caught fire and the flames
spread to the nitroglycerine mixing
house, where three tons of rtroglycer.
inc in great watts blew UP with a fer
rible defamation, scattering flames
and debris in all directions. So fer
rife was the force of the explosion
that Thompson and Doane were lit
orally blown to atoms and not a YES
tige of their remains was found over
which to hold an inquest.
Three buildings of the plant were
laid in ruins and all that remains is a
pile of twisted iron and debris. Thou
sands of gallons of acid in the lead
tanks in roaring flames added to the
catastrophe. The property loss will
reach $4,000. The conclusion caused
by the explosion was terrific and
every window in the vicinity of the
powder works and San Pablo, a mile
away, was shattered and persons were
thrown to the ground by the force of
the explosions. One of the big tanks
of the Standard Oil company, a mile
distant, was ripped open and thou
sands of gallons of oil flowed into the
road. The Giant company is an indie
pendent concern and is not owned by

ROQUEFORT CHEESE.
How the Green Mold and the Flavor
Are Produced.

\ cheese expert has the following
TO say about Roquefort cheese
ITO make Roquefort cheese we must
have the proper raw material-sheep's
milk. OF course we have sheep in
America, but show me a Yankee farm
er who would go to the trouble of milk
ing sheep, 1t is even too much for
him to milk cows, and it is the stand
ard lamentation of all our farmers
that the boys, even if they stay on the
farm, do not want to do any milking.
Before they do such kind of work they
would rather go to a business school or
a college where they study agriculture,
chemistry. etc.
How is Roquefort cheese cured:
The mold in the cheese is produced by
moldy breadcrumbs which are ground
to a green dust and mixed in the
cheese curd. The country around
Roquefort is very rocky. The lime
stone rocks are full of ~crevices and
caves, which draw in the warm air in
summer, give it out in winter, and vice
versa.
'These caves have been provided by
nature and improved by cellars that
have been built in such a way that
these natural currents of warm and
cold air pass through them. where
Roquefort cheese is cured. This is the
way that Roquefort cheese is ripened
and gets its peculiar flavor and char
acter. 1t is all very well for the sci
entists to study the chemical process
which the cheese is undergoing, but to
way is another question. Nature is
the best chemist.
''The manufacture of Roquefort
cheese has been tried in America, but
the manufacturers did not make much
Of Il success. Nobody manufactures
Roquefort in America at present. We
know of one manufacturer who tried to
make Roquefort cheese of goa,s' milk.
He boosted especially that he would
use only the milk of imported goats.
Just think of the ideal Imported goats
grazing on American pastures were
expected to give better favored milk
than domestic goats. 1t is the climate,
the special soil, atmospheric influences.
etc, ' hich produce the fine fragrant
grass, The milk of the COWS or goats
or ST eep is naturally the product of
the Grass they are eating. the water
they are drinking. and neither this nor
the climate nor the country Fan be i'm
ported to America-only the product
which the climate or country produces.
That is why neither the American
Camembert nor Roquefort ever has the
fla o or Fragrance of the imported ar
tiele in spite of all the imported goats
or imported cattle or even of imported
microbes. Chicago Record Herald.

MURDERED WITH A
PICK

The body of an unknown man, foul
ly murdered, was found in the black
smith shop of VIII Reading at We'll
lington Friday morning by Ana
Carter of Carson and another man.
Up to a late hour last night the man
had not been identified. A hole in
the temple, evidently made by a
pick tells the mute story of his end.
Carter was at Wellington on Thurs
day night, and when he arose Friday
morning a fellow named Nash report
ed the disappearance of his horse. A
posse was organized and started to
search, and while looking for the
horse Carter saw what appeared to be
a man sleeping in the Reading BLACK
smith shop with a couple of blankets
thrown over him. They passed on,
thinking the fellow was sleeping off
a jag, but later Carpenter and a com
panion returned, and upon closer in
vestigation discovered that the man
had been dead for several hours, and
that the body had been dragged to
the place where found.
Investigation showed that the man
had met oath by a blow from a pick,
tn murderer sending the point of the
tool into the right temple. The body
had then been dragged from the place
where the crime had been committed
into the Reading shop, where it was
found carefully covered with a couple
of old blankets.
A telephone message from Yelling
tas, Ert1axy axtaYtY.. n4at.l 49, -.
far no one had been able to identify
the body, aud not a person in the
vicinity who viewed the remainst ever
saw the man before. The man was
middle-aged, dressed like "A prospector
and had a ten days growth of beard
on his grace. His beard and hair were
tinged with gray. What inspired the
murder is shrouded in mystery. From
the indications it was not robber, for
the victim does not impress one as
having enough funds to make it worth
while. The officers of the place are
investigating and every effort win be
made to solve the case.
No motive for robbery, and there
remains but the one theory, and that
is revenge. Perhaps time will dis
close the full story, and again, the
strangers in the land where the man
met death may never know or under
stand.
SO far no trace of the horse and
saddle belonging to Nash and stolen
from the stable have been discovered.
The horse was purchased by Nasn,
who IS a prospector and enroute to
Bodie, from one of the Randall bows
at Dayton. The animal was "A fairly
good Indian pony and "A fair traveller.
According to information received
by the News shortly after / O'clock
Friday morning a horseman was heard

which the man travelled he awakened
