was made, but after the state made
its application for the survey which
the state claims fixed its prior rights
the Northern Pacific filed on 10000
acres of the timber land and 212 per-
sons, one of whom was the now no.
torious Jack Simpkins, took up
claims on the land. These claims
were filed with the local land office
at Coeur d'Alene and when the state
went to make its selections the land
office refused to grant 1t the land for
which claims had been filed.
The state commenced suit against
these settlers before the commission
er of the general land office and in a
series Of 12 decisions practically all
of them have been in favor of the
state. The defendants have appealed
the cases to the secretary Of the in
terror.
Script was used by the Northern
Pacific in making its filings on the
land in controversy and in connec-
ton with these cases the state will
make the claim that it has a prior
right over any selections

II is announced that a change Is to
r. & N. to take effect next Sunday.
With other transcontinental railroads
the O. r. C N. is making these
changes with a view to making some-
what slower time in crossing the con-
tinent.
wher the first announcement OF
slower time was made recently, by
other railroads, the order was as
cribed to economy of operation.
Crack transcontinental trains are
heavy as well as handsome, and they
attract travel by reason of their fast
time, coupled with their palatial APP
pointments.
1t costs money to rush these heavy
trains over mountain ranges and
across the prairies at breakneck
speed, and the railroad managers de-
cided that the trains did not pay for
the expense and risk involved. Their
greatest value is said 10 he realized
i'm advertising the road.
So when the order went out from
the railroad headquarters a while
ago for the general pairing of ex-
penses. the flyers were about the first
to he affected by the retrenchment
policy. Some trains were shortened
to tighten the road the locomotives
had to carry. In other cases slower
running time was inaugurated to save
coal bills.
But economy is not given as the
reason for the change in schedules
by the Hartman Officials. 1t Is said
that as the transcontinental trains
are long and heavy, with traffic con-
stantly increasing 1t is found to be
more and more difficult to adhere to
the fixed schedules.
The management believes 1t is
more to the public advantage to run
trains exactly on time tina to make
fast time one day and be far behind
the next. The change is said to be
In the interest of better service and
increasing regularity.
The time to Chicago by the o. r.
Il N, Oregon Short Line and Union
Pacific from Portland will be length
cned four hours and 80 minutes. A
''-hour schedule is now being ar
ranged.

In the glass collection at the Museum

large drinking cup which stands apart
from all other art objects under a

CONTEST FOR TIMBER LAND.
Idaho VIII Seek to Secure Rights

The Boise Statesman says of
in northern Idaho:
within the next few days the land
cases-originally suits brought by the
state against persons settling on land
in the St Joe river country to which
the state claimed a prior right-will
be heard by the secretary Of the in

general land office decided the cases
IN favor of the state and the opposi-
ton appealed to the department Of
the interior. Assistant Attorney
Snow left yesterday for Washington
to argue the cases for the state,
Timber land to the value of $780,
600 Is involved In the cases, which
are very important from many stand
points. The decision reached by the
department In these cases probably
will determine its attitude on a num-
ber of other cases of like nature. One
of the principal contestants of the
states rights is the Nohthern Pa

able to the state other suits Of a SIM
liar nature will be brought against

In 1901 Governor Hunt applied for
survey of certain timber lands in
the northern part of the state for the
purpose of selecting lands for salts
flying the state school grants. The
lands were surveyed but It was moi
until the year of 1905 that the state
made its selections of about 5000
acres which are now worth about
S750.00O. The selections include
some Of the best white pine timber

Alfalfa A Great Flesh
Producer.
(By A. d. Burhans.)

Throughout the whole corn belt, where
the main live stock feed has been corn in
some shape or other, the alfalfa gospel is
taking root There is forage that can
do much for the land, for hogs, cattle
or growing stock of any kind, as alfalfa.
The writer was young man working on
live stock growing at this time. He well
remembers how Wichita, Kansas, was the
great market for Texas hogs, and has seen
thousands of these rail-spittng animals
driven on farms almost wholly given to al
falfa growing. They foraged on the al
falfa pastures all summer and early in the
fall were finished off with a bit of corn for
the Kansas City markets
Kansas farmers knew the value of pure
bred hogs, but they could buy the Texas
animals too cheap to bother with raising
pigs To the Kansas hog grower belongs
the honor of teaching farmers that alfalfa
was the greatest swine feed on earth. AL
falfa keeps the blood cool, grows great
bone. makes thrift, keeps the hogs system
clean, and provides a perfect growing IA
ton.
The dairy farmer of the corn belt also
has learned a thing two about alfalfa
He has found that three crops of hay from
well cultivated field are sure every season
Alfalfa is never reseeded to preserve its
density on the ground In favorable local.
ties 1t spreads from the roots well
from the seed.
A disc set just a trfe cutting, run over
a field of alfalfa that has grown too coarse
will split the crowns of the plant and cause
it to sprout up finer in stem This discing
opposite direction DO this after cutting off
"a crop.
In the major portion of the corn belt, in
1906, four crops of alfalfa of over ton
to the each were cut. The year was
particularly good for this plant.
The daryman likes a finer stem to his
alfalfa than does the average farmer. He
finds that the cattle, the milk cows as well
as calves and growing heifers, appreciate
the most easily chewed stems
In the alfalfa country can the
colts and calves in shelter places partakng
of this hay the whole winter through, and
it brings them out to spring fat and sleek.
Where so much corn is fed to live stock
as in the belt where it thrives best, there
is plant that can take the place of al
falfa. It, with corn, forms a perfectly bal
anced ration for all growing animals The
dairyman does not have to worry over the
high price of bran If he can grow alfalfa,
for the thing he buys bran for is wonder
fully abundant in this plant.
We have seen dozens of dairy farmers
who made bright alfalfa hay and ground
corn, an all winter feed that produced heavy
flows of rich milk.

Company will co., or else will be carried

Soon the regiment was in the thckest of
the fight at four o'clock it was ordered to
charge a battery. In the charge, the Regi-
mental Colors went down, the bearer being
killed John Harris instantly picked them
up, and waving them aloft said "CoDe on,
boys" After brilliant charge the bat
terry was taken. In the list of the killed on
the battlefield of Shiloh. as given by the
daily papers, was the name of Private John

crate army, driving back Sheridan, Davis
and Johnson's divisions. Baldwins brigade
OF Johnson's division was deployed to stay
the onset of the victorious enemy John
Harris carrying the coors of the Ken
lucky regiment. In the charge of the enemy
the entire color guard was either killed or
Weunded; John Harris alone held the flag
aloft until he was pierced with many bull
let's and fell to the ground, then the flag
was given into other hands.
Again at Chickamauga, John Harris was
in the front ranks in the thick of that
bloody battle, one of the bravest of the
brave. And when Woods gallant division
mounted the precipitous heights of Mission

gun At this they fell back to attend to
their wounded, and John jumping from his
horse ran down into Lost River, and there
concealed himself until his enemies gave
up the chase.
1t was a beautiful morning on April the
9th, 1862, and General Buells command
was making a forced march through Ten
nessee. John Harris with knap-sack and
gun was marching in the ranks of a Ken
lucky regiment his face palld and
his hands trembled as he held his gun.
Distant cannonading could be heard, and
occasionally an orderly would rush up and
say to the commander of the regiment,
General Rousseau says for you to hurry
up with your command" And in a few
moments the men were marched out to the
roadside, and ordered to pack their KNAPP
sacks in a bulk. detail was ordered to
guard the knap-sacks and the march was
resumed.
The Captain noted John Harris's condi-
ton, and suggested that it would be bet
ter to leave John behind, saying, I'VE will
never get him into battle" But John, all
trembling, appealed to the Captain to let
him continue with the ranks, saying, 81
shall never turn back until commanded by
you"
April the seventh, Buel's advance had
reached the battlefield of Shiloh and was
advancing on the enemy. John Harris was
again pale and trembling noting his condi-
ton the Captain again urged John to go to
the rear. Johns face became flushed and
his blue eyes sparkled and he said to the
Captain, when l so to the rear, the whole

men gathered to inlct still further torture
upon John. He was united and taken to
tree with projecting limbs, rope was put
around his neck, one end being thrown
over the limb and then the men were or
dered to pull away on It,
But James Wilson, who was known to
the mob as dead shot, came with re-
volver in hand and with a knife cut
the rope, shouting Stand back, or I'll
shoot"
At the same time Wilse Pertum who was
afterwards the great Union scout of the
Army of the Cumberland, appeared upon
the scene with horse, and John was or
dered to mount and fly for Bowling Green.
AS he mounted James Wilson handed him
double barreled shot gun. At the same
time, Wilson, Petrum, and some twenty
others cowed the mob.
When the metallic ring of Johns horses
shoes was heard on the pike. some one
said, Men, mount your horses and pur-
sue him." and away they went up the
Bowling Green pike Then commenced a
for life. Not less than two hundred
of the most desperate men in that part of
Kentucky after the poor victim who
had the courage of his convictions"
John finding some spurs on the pummel
of his saddle, buckled them his heels as
he flew along the pike The race was a
fierce one, and when he neared Lost River,
his pursuers were close upon him and soon
within fifty yards, shooting and yelling at
him like demons. John threw the bride
reins upon the horses neck and turning
in his saddle, let fly both charges from his

Birds Are Money Savers.

The fruit grower who does not take the
birds into consideration is in the wrong
business, to say the least
Some growers make the fatal mistake of
destroying the birds that eat cherries and
berries. 1t is true they do sometimes be-
come very annoying, but this can be les
sened by planting wild fruits that ripen at
the same time the cultivated ones. Null
berries will help save the cherries, as will
wild cherries, ederberries, wild grapes, ETC.,
the later fruit.
recent publication of the Department
of Agriculture names over 100 different in
sects eaten by the Bob White, among which
may be mentioned potato beetles, boil wee
wills corn bill bugs, click beetles, chinch
bugs, cotton worms, gTasshoppers etc, all
harmful to the farmer. 1t states that "as
many as forty cotton boil weevils
were known to be eaten at single meal"
and that "chinch bugs" are destroyed by
the tablespoonful
And yet the farmer will permit the city
sport to tramp over his fields, leave the
gates open and shoot the last quail on the
place No one accuses the quail OF destroy
ing grain or fruit, yet unfortunately it is
good to eat and must be sacrificed to the
appetite of the game hog, and occasionally,
though not often, to the farmer, whose
faithful friend he is.
