phatically criticized Browns candida
cy, and there was a general soreness.
It appeared that the announcement
that Brown might be a candidate came
as shock to most Oh the politicians.
They hadn't heard Of it until they saw
it in The Star and a little while later
they were at a meeting to vote on it.
The appointment also caused con-
siderable political stir about town, and
may be the cause of a Board of Super
visors fight, for County Attorney
Cathcart's selection has to be confirm,
ed by the Board. Browns opponents
of the last election took the warpath
at once, and are deci2ring that the ac-
ton will do a lot to bust up the Re-
publican party.
THE voters refused to elect him, "
said one, "and he has no right to take
an Office practically the same as the
one for which he was defeated"
In the meantime Brown is preparing
to take up his duties next week. and
many are wondering what sort of a
police and prosecution combination
Brown and Iaukea will make.
Several members of the Board of ST..
pervisors are quoted as announcing in
tention not to confirm Brown.

SEIZED BY
DEVIL FISH
SEATTLE MAN HAS A TERRIBLE
STRUGGLE WITH MONSTER
WHILE BATHING

SEATTLE. August 15-Seized around
the legs by a devil fish, c. c. Morgan,
a camper at AlH Point, had to fight
for his life in the water, hundred feet
from shore last evening.
Part of the time the fight with the
vicious fish was carried on under wa
ter. Had he not been an exceptionally
large and powerful man, Morgan would
have lost the fight and have been drag
ged down AS it was, mis- legs were
badly bruised and lacerated below the
knees, and he was exhausted when he
reached safety.
Morgan who was formerly proprietor
of hotel at the Great Northern docks,
recently sold out and has since camp
ed at All1i Point. He is a man about
six feet two inches in height and
weighs about 240 pounds. To his size,
weight and strength he owes. his life,
according to his story of the struggle.
Morgan was bathing about $3.50 last
night, He swan out some 300 feet
and then started for shore. When in
about five feet of water, something
grabbed his leg. Thinking that it was
merely seaweek Morgan kicked loose
and let his feet sink to the bottom, in
tending to waue in.
In a moment, Morgan was seized by
both legs below the knees and dis,
covered that he was in the grasp of c
devil fish. He struggled to keep his
footing and shouted for help, but was
dragged under water. Digging his
fingers into the sand and gravel of tn,
bottom, Morgan tried to prevent thu
devil fish from pulling him out o
his depth. The fish, however, wa
stronger than he and was towing hin
into deep water, when by the exercise
of all his strength, he spread his Leg
and broke the hold.
Desperately, Morgan struggled to
ward shore and managed to gain sew
eral yards before the devil fish reached
him again The coiling tentacle'
grasped his legs, but by powerful strug
giles Morgan broke away each TIM
and fought his way nearer the shore
AS the water became shallow tn
power of the devil fish seemed to les
sen and in three feet of water, tn
fish abandoned the fight.
: Morgan's wife and some of the Othe
} campers at the beach saw Morgan
struggles, but were unable to help him

originally with the fresh gas, the OBJ
Ject being to show the great economy
Of running a motor with this sub
stance although if fresh gas was used
every time it would be a great deal
cheaper than any power which is now
used for methods Of propelling motor

wonderful All it was necessary to do
was to open a valve to start the en-

pressure or speed required could ap-
parantly be had by opening a stop

speed was just as easy as to increase
it.

to heat up. All kinds of gearing,

Millet as a Catch Crop.

Have you plenty of hay? If not,
there is still time to grow good
crop, if you SOW nillet seed on good
soil. We have seen it make from
three to four tons per acre. In this
state it ought to make not less than
two, and if cut at the proper time and
we'll cured it makes hay of excellent
quality The Practical Fruit Grower
says:
Like most other crops, millet
thrives best on a fertile mellow soil.
Loans without too much clay and
not too much sand will give the best
results. For a catch crop, Or one a
dapted to sowing when other forage
crops show signs Of failing, we have
found millet almost a necessity, and
it has been an important factor in en-
abling many of the farmers in winter

when hay was light crop and other
forage was scarce.

Experiences With Alfalfa

We hope that every man among
you, who keeps any live stock and
VINO mas not done SO, will prepare to
try alfalfa by sowing at least a small
patch this fall. The following record
OF experience, written by a cores
pondent of the American Agriculture
lst, will show its value as feed. Sow
some this fall if only few square
rods.
We commenced experimenting with
alfalfa about 20 years ago. Many told
us 1t would not grow At first it did
not grow as 1t does today. There were
several things we had to do. do
not know what our worst obstacles
we're; but [ think the first thing we
had to do was to take the water
away from the surface by putting in
tile WE have on our $50 acres about
IS miles of tile drains We put it in
during hard times, and some of it
cost us as much as $50 an acre.
We selected the worst spots rather
than the best, because we had the
idea alfalfa needs a gravelly soil. The
roots went down into gravel. There
was very little nutrition and the
growth through necessity was dis
appointing, but we gradually spread
the area until we got it over clay
ground. Today we have it growing
over considerable area. Our coun-
try is in the glacial drift, and we have
a great variety of soils After grow
ing 1t for several years we have final
ly chosen soil that has a heavy clay
subsoil.
Alfalfa is worth about the same.
pound for pound, as wheat bran. One
reason farmers do not make a better
showing is because of the cost of pro-
teln in the form Of linseed meal or
cottenseed meal. 1t costs $27 to $28
ton. The same amount of protein
IN the form Of alfalfa could be raised
on half acre. Now, about what is
alfalfa worth? Wheat bran is worth
about $14 ton and alfalfa is worth

have the soil in condition favorable
to it's rapid growth. If there is doubt
about the soil containing sufficient
plant food to make crop of millet,
fertilizers containing a good proper
ton of nitrogen and potash will give
good results. In many cases when it
is sowed, a disking Of the ground is
all that is necessary.
If the hay crop fails, the ground can
be plowed and a good crop Of millet
grown before frost comes. The COM
mon practice is to SOW from sixteen
quarts to a bushel of seed per acre
drilled in the same manner as oats,
except that it should not be covered
as deep. When we SOW millet we fit
the ground last with smoothing
harrow, then broadcast the seed, and
cover by going over with hay rake.

that; that is to say, I got $I4 for al
falfa on the tracks at Our place baled,
and do better than that sometimes
when [ feed it. We ship it down to
the coast, where it is ground up and
sold as poultry meal, sold, I presume,
at about $50 ton, while we get $I2
Or $I4 for it on the track at our place.
Alfalfa is not only to be sold at its
intrinsic value; it can be fed to almost
all the farm animals. We feed it to
our lambs, horses and cows. | might
mention incidentally that one of the
incest ways of handling alfalfa is for
the fattening Of hogs Out west they
can get about $50 worth of pork per
acre by feeding alfalfa with pound
or two of ear corn to hogs until they
are pretty we'll grown, and then finish
with more grain.

Doing Without Dobbin.


The editor Of the Epitomist makes
this title the text of an article about
a new power said to have been dis
covered by an inventor in PhiladeI-
phia The name Of the city makes us
rather suspicious, for it was in Phil
adelphia that Keely made his home
when he exploited his wonderful dis
covery of a power which was to rev.
olutionize all mechanics. That proved
to be a first class swindle, and we
should advise caution in making any
investment in this new enterprise.
But if it is all that is claimed for it
we do not look for any fall in the
price of horses Trolly lines were to
cut down the demand for horses to
point where it would be improbable
to breed them, then it was automO-
bileS, but hOrsefesh was never SO high
since this country was settled. Nor
do we believe that anything will dis
place the horse, certainly not within
the next generation. The Epitomist
says:
Is the horseless age at hand-the
time when we can do without DObbin
and save worry, time and money by
exchanging him for another means Of
conveyance? Considered as a motor
the horse is both expensive and un-
reliable. The average time Of his use
fulness, in a really remunerative way,
will not exceed five years and the
expense Of his keep, counting his feed
at market value, is much more than
that Of any other power. 1t is useless
to say that the horse cannot be dis
pensed with for the reason that he
can perform labor under conditions
impossible for the use Of machinery,
for that is a great mistake. For
years machinery has been performing
all kinds Of work to which horses are
especially adapted and far more sat
isfactory, except in the matter of first
cost, the horse being the least ex-
pensive, though costig more for the
actual service performed
A Philadelphia inventor has recent
ly perfected power generator which
is adapted to the operation Of vehic-
les, farm implements and machinery.
The simplicity and ease OF control
Of the new power is wonderful. It's
inventor claims that although tre-
mendOusly powerful, it will not ex-
plOde and cannot burn. Half a pound
Of carbonic acid gas will charge the
generator sufficiently to drive thir-
ty-fve horsepower motor for hun
dreds of miles, and the cost is so
small that it is not worth mention
ing The inventor of the new motor
claims that an auto, or other wheeled
vehicle, can be run a month at a cost
of about fifty cents.
Like the power of gasoline, the
force of carbonic acid gas has been
known for many years, but only re-
Gently has any method been devised to
control it and use the force for power
purposes. The inventor of the pres
ent generator has been experimenting
tor years and has finally perfected an
apparatus for controlling the force of
carbonlc acid gas. From demonstra-
tions recently given in Philadelphia,
it would seem as if he has succeeded
IN harnessing it up for useful pur-
poses.
At demonstration, a small guam
tlty OF carbonic acid gas was intro
duced into tank in the rear of
small engine, and in few seconds
the engine was working at tremen-
dous speed. Instead Of exhausting
the gas into the air of the room, it
