CHELAN PIONEERS.

Despite unpropit1ouS weather the
annual reunion of the Chelan county
pioneers seems to have been a dis
tinct success and the old settlers are
congratulated on the pleasant fea-
lures If their three days gathering.
Chelan county has an interesting
past, full of the usual incidents of
pioneer life, the retaining Of the
virgin soil, the gradual incoming of
settlers, the successful cultivation of
farms, the building up of number
of thriving towns and general
growth of prosperity among the
people as the result of hard work
and constant and commendable en-
ergy.
The old settlers can look with JUS
|tifiabla pride and satisfaction on
what has been accomplished and re-
joice in the heritage which they will
leave to those who come after them.
The newcomers and the SONS and
daughters of these pioneers are
looking forward to ever-incr2asing
development and prosperity. They
see all around them a country rich
in varied natural resources and
beautiful in it's physical aspects.
They ,are contributing their share to-
ward improvements that are being
made. They are working for and
obtaining, surely if slowly, better
facilities for communication and
transportation. Immigrants are be-
ing attracted to their locality and are
adding to the wealth of the commun-
ity. The district is being more wide
ly known as one of the most attract
i've in the northwest for tourists.
In many and various ways the Che
Ian country is advancing.
Few, perhaps, of the pioneers are
as yet to be classed among 'old Pc >
ple," yet they have well earned the
rest and enjoyment which should
now come to acknowledgements
view.

comes practically compulsory in 9th
er occupations. There are few
teachers, or stenographers, or clerks
in business establishments who are
retained after passing the half-cen-
fury mark.
AS in commercial life SO in the
government service, the women as g
rule are paid less than men for the
same class of work. One reason
suggested for this is that as the
heads of departments are almost al
ways men they naturally rate the
man higher than the woman APP
parently if women are ever to get
the justice they claim in the matter
of remuneration they must get into
executive positions. When the suf-
fragists get all that they want they
will doubtless see to it that the dis
elimination in the matter of salaries
between men and women is abol-
ished.

that his motive in telling all that he

A German court has rendered the
rather singular verdict that the COLI
sion between the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
and the British Royal Mail steamer
Orinoco last December was due to ex-
cusable errors on both Sides" Thir-
teen persons were killed and fifteen in
iured by the accident. Had the court
found the collision due to inexcusable
errors on both sides it would have d.
vided the blame into two equal pOr-
tons. But this verdict reduces the
blame to a minimum and then divides
that.

COMPENSATION FOR INJURED
EMPLOYEES

Recent published utterances of
President Roosevelt to the effect
that "workmen should receive>a GER
tain definite and limited compensation
for all accidents in industry, ire
|spective of negligence" have natu-
rally drawn forth adverse comment
from some employers and represent
atives of employers who cannot see
that the motives behind the proposal
are wise, conservative and humane.
Undoubtedly injustice to employ
|ers might at times result from the
operation of law such as that
which is suggested, but the injustice
would not be nearly SO grave as
that which oftentimes now prevails,
and the burden could be much bet
ter borne by those upon whom it
would fall than by those who are
now almost exclusively the sufferers.
There would be no encouragement
Iof negligence or carelessness, since
no man is willingly going to take
chances of serious injury simply for
the small financial recompense that
may come to him.
Three things have been stated as
probable of accomplishment under
the proposed remedy. 1t would
place the employer and employee on
AN equal plane, SO that both would
share the burden Of the injury from
the accident. It would make 1t un-
necessary for the empioye to barter

ksation to which he is entitled to

WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT SER
VICE

In recently published compilations
of census bureau statistics relative
to the women workers in the United
States it is shown that the govern
ment service attracts many and that
In clerical work women are quite
prominent. Though they are as yet
only one to ten in comparison with
the number of men employed. it is
significant that there are no less
than 1882 female government
clerks.
Out of a mass of information in
regard to the women so employed a
few points are of peculiar interest.
1t appears, for instance, that only
ESQ of the 1882 are less than 20
years of age, while Is per cent. are
over so. There are more women be-
tween 80 and 40 years of age in the
government service than between 20
and 80, indicating either that they
do not seek this work until pretty
well advanced in years or that they
have the faculty of staying devel-
oped to perfection.
The fact that there are 1876 on
the rolls over so years Of age shows
that In oficial life women are re-
tanned In active service at ages far
beyond those when retirement be-

FARMING THE COLUMBIA UP
LANDS.

Inc department OF agriculture Has
issued an interesting bulletin on
farm practice in the Columbia basin
uplands. 1t is the result of three
years careful investigations, made
for the purpose of showing how to
increase the crop yield of that sec
ton. The area includes portions of
Idaho, Oregon and Washington,
where wheat is the principal farm
product. It is district almost sur
rounded by mountains, yet of a semi
arid nature, and utilized chiefly for
growing cereals. The elevation var
les from a few hundred feet above
sea level to an altitude of 3OOe feet.
The rainfall ranges from six inches
to> twenty-three inches during the
year. 1t is with the dry-land farm
ing that the specialist deals in the
bulletin.
In a large portion of the Column
bia basin, generally known as the
Inland Empire, the farmers plant
crops only once in two years. They
summer fallow the land and leave it
to rest In doing this the moisture
from winter rain and snow is con-
served for the coming season, the
weeds are destroyed and the land
put in condition for planting when
the time for that work comes. The
agent of the department of agricul-
ture has discovered that the grain
crops can be increased 25 per cent.
by a systematic cultivation of the
land. The average yield of wheat
now is 20.4 bushels to the acre. 1t
is estimated that by adopting modern
methods the entire district will re-
turn at least Is bushels per acre.
The expert agriculturist recon-
mends disking and narrowing the
land in early spring, before blowing,
packing the sub-surface after plow-
ing, and following by surface cult
walton. Men who have practiced the
method report an increased yield of
rs per cent. over former ways of
handling the soil. To do this re-
Quires disc harrows, corrugated roll
ers and the best plows. But those
implements are obtainable, and
should be on every farm. There is
no machine manufactured that is too
good for the Washington farmer,
providing it will assist him in get
ting better cash returns from his
land.
One valuable lesson which every
farmer should learn is that there
are too many varieties of wheat
planted for the financial success of
the country. The experiments of
years demonstrated that fact. OF
the spring varieties. the department
recommends Little Club and Red
Chan for the humid regions, and the
Bluestem for arid and semi-arid re-
gions. OF the winter varieties, the
Turkey Red stands at the head of
the list. But the Fortyfold is re-
ported to be the best all around
sort for the entire wheat region of
the Inland Empire. 1t stands. the
winter. is early, and yields well un-
der both arid and semi-arid condi-
lions. The bulletin is a valuable
publication in many respects, and
should be in the farmer library

TAINTED TALK WORSE THAN
CUSSING.


guage on the streets.
The accusation has been brought
that careless men congregate on cor
ners, about doorways and halls, and
use words that disturb passing wo-
men and particular men.
This is true-of Wenatchee and
other towns of it's size.
Some blame the polices
1t would seem more fair to lay the
blame to the individual.
There is a law which authorizes
the police to arrest people who swear
on the streets; but an impartial en-
forcement of it would find nine
tenths of the male population behind
the bars most of the time
The trouble is not with the in
dividual who under stress, calculates
mild and oftimes necessary
Damn
The kick is against the loiterers
whose foul speech taints the air with
obscene stories, and obliges passing
women-hasten they ever so much
with averted head-to overhear
fragments of speech offensive to any
decent person, man or woman.
1t is against these that criticism
should be directed, and steps taken.
The man with the foul, obscene
speech is thrice the nuisance of the
man who simply swears.
The former is depraved-his mind
q sewer of unclean thoughts.
The latter is only blasphemous.
A man who thinks he must talk
filth should betake himself from
the paths of people to whom his con-
versation is repulsive, for there is
not even standing room for him
among good citizens.
The man who swears violates one
commandment.
The purveyor of obscenity by his
own disgusting speech stands a self
confessed moral degenerate wal
lower in uncleanliness, his heart
stained with the criminal fracture
of the whole Decalogue
1t is against this insidious vice
that every community must struggle
the sin of Dirty Talk. This is the
Evil which turks in the streets.
around Railways, and among crowds
of certain kinds of men. Careless
Conversation breeds it; Sloppy
Speech fosters it. 1t menaces the
youth of the community more than
whisky, and beside a measure of
swearing becomes almost a virtue.
TAINTED TALK is WORSE
THAN CUSSING.
So instead of harping on the DO
lice against Swearing on the street.
let's go after the purveyor of Sim
full Stories.
He's the real menace.
And, incidentally, let the man who
