PINETUCKY FARMERS UNION.
Whereas, Great Britain, in her ex-
treme effort to depress the price Of
American cotton by trying to grow
it in South Africa, India, and IN all
countries where she has territory and,
whereas, all her efforts have proven
absolute failures, and, whereas, she
now as last resort is negotiating for
some Of the most fertile cotton lands
in the west to be cultivated with
foreign labor to surely depress the
price Of our money crop (cotton) and
to Cypress the southern farmer.
Therefore, be it resolved by Pine
tucky Farmers Union Of Richmond
county, Georgia, that we most en-
phatically protest against alien own
ership of land in the United States,
and do most respectfully request our
members Of congress and our two
senators to offer and push to success
full passage a bill on this line that
will protect the southern farmer in
his God-given rights.

WHAT IS AND WHAT OUGHT TO
BE.
(From the Farmers Union Banner,
Winfield, La.
1t does not require any argument
to convince the most densely stupid
farmer in the country that he has no
voice whatever in the establishment
or the regulation of the products that
he produces. He occupies the posi-
tion Of zero in this commercial equa-
tiOn. He is the lone, single and here
tOfore silent exception to this rule in
the whole fabric Of commercialism.
His tolerance has been So submis-
sive and Of such duration that it has,
centuries ago, ceased to excite pity
or stir admiration for his silent en-
durance.
The farmer, Of all the factors of
government and civilization, is the
one upon which all the rest find their
foundation when the analytical test
reduces them to the last analysis in
this sum of commercial proportion.
WAile he carries all the burdens, be-
cause he occupies the position in civ
ilization, in society, in government,
In commerce that he does, yet his
voice is never sought, his opinions are
never solicited, his interests are never
questioned, his counsel never asked
when the policy of government is be-
ing determined, or the price of his
multitudinous products is being sched-
uled. ,...
The farmer is only asked TO pay the
bills as they are presented and keep

BIG IRRIGATION
DEAL IS MADE
WaIa Wa||e Engineer to
Survey District

Engineer L. w. Loehr was today
given charge of the surveying and
plating of a 1000 acre irrigation pro-
iect which will be located about %
miles northwest of Pomeroy, on both
banks of the Snake. ElmOn Scott of
Pomeroy, is at the head of the enter
prise.
This is one of the largest private
irrigation projects ever attempted in
the west by a private concern. 1t is
estimated it will cost the promoters
close to $4,000 to install it.
1t will be an orchard proposition
and it's promoters say it is in every
way equal to the orchard lands
around Charleston and Lewiston. AS
soon as Engineer Loehr has complet-
ed his survey and plat. a campaign Of
advertising will be opened and the
project put through on broad lines.
The granting of the work to Engi-
neer Loehr is marked compliment 70
his reputation as an engineer. as Mr..
Elmon Scott has been in Tacoma and
Spokane looking for some one whom
he could trust with the work.
The work Will be done by the day.
Mr.. Loehr will leave Walla Walla for
Pomeroy week from today and eX-
the preliminary surveys. hTe compile
ton of the work will be a matter of
two months.

NEW COMPLAINT
Declares Discrimination in
Rates on Steel Shipments

WASHINGTON, D. c., July S-Three
state commerce commission by the city
of Spokane against the Great North
ern, the Northern Pacific, and the Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation company
respectively. The complaints are Az
most identical, and concern the ship
ment of sheet steel and rivetS from
Pittsburg to Spokane for use in con-
structing the waterWorks system of
that city.
The old question of terminal rates is
involved by the interstate commerce
commissions forthcoming decision on
the merits of that ancient controversy
It is alleged in the complaints filed
against the Great Northern today tina,
in October, 1905 shipments of 3.6S9.515
pounds of sheet steel and 134.990
pounds of rivets for the extension of
the Spokane waterWorks were made
over that road for the Union Iron
Works contractor Under the terms OF
the contract the city was required to
pay the fgreight on the steel as a sep
arate item.
1t is said that the charge was $1.213
per hundred, whereas the rate to Seat
tie 800 miles farther westward, is only
IS cents. The complaint claims that
a proper rate to Spokane would have
been 66.3 cents, and the city. therefore,
claims damages to the extent of ST.
S1S with $1,000 added as attorneys
fees The signers of the complaint on
behalf of the city are l.. r. Hamblin
T. D. Allen and H. A. Rhodes.

The father is Baron Okura. the Mead

Nippon. Money came to the son as
freely as the air he breathcd. The ia
theirs liberality seemed to know no

The son, who knew not the value of
a yen, was spendthrift throwing
money to the winds. Life in Toxic
finally became too tame for the youth
and he came to America.

Do YOU THINK He DREAMEON2
Tacoma Man Finds Bones Which
Look Good

TACOMA, July S.-Mystery concern
ing the identity of the animal, the
frame of which was partly composed of
a strangely formed pelvic bone, in the
Pacific avenue. has been doubled by
his acquisition of duplicate.
The original bone, which started the
speculation as to what animal it be-
lOnged, was secured some time as;.
from Henry L4euders, of Springfield
county road near that place. Since its
exhibition it has been the source OF
wonder and conjecture. No one has as
vet been able to satisfactorily connect
the bone with any known animal. 1t
has been suggested that it was part of
one of a herd of ca,nes brought to
Puget Sound some 60 years ago by
Englishmen who had planned an expe
ditiOn across the continent with the
ships of the desert" as means OF
transportation. Others have expressed
the belief that the bone figured in the
anatomical architecture of a sea
horse Some have been heard to as
sert that it was part of the frame OF
a Walrus.
The advent of the mate to it has
served only to make matters more
mystifying. 1t was found the other day
by Henry Leuders. who pulled it UP
from the bottom of the bay al Spring
field. while he was fishing for rock cod
His hook caught in the bone and NJ
hauled it in. He was overcome with
establishment on seeing the prototype
of the pelvis that he had previously
discovered. Having found the bone in
six fathOms of water, fifty feet from
the shore he now believes that the
camel theory is exploded. The only
difference in the bones is in that the
one dug up on the right of way of the
county road is of q dark color Will
that brought up from the bay is "a
white as snow.
Mr. Jewell is endeavOring to solve
the question by consulting all author
tiles in bones with whom he can gel
into communication. but at present the
outlook does not promise an answer.
During the uncertainty the price of the
pelvis is continually going up, and al
though the mystery market may APP
pear overstocked by the receipt OF tina
new bone, the quotations., instead of
going down have been boosted.

BAT NELSON BATS B|NGOEs
HcqeWisCh Dane is Said TO Have
Lost Nerve

Is Battling Nelson suffering from a
broken heart?
lot of fight fans believe so. The
terrific pace that Cans set him at
Goldfeld, the inability of the Dane
to do any particular harm to his OPP
ponent, the gruelling finish and the re-
suit of the fight. all have combined
to put Nelson in a frame of mind that
some of his best friends are at a loss
to account for.
Nelson has spent a good deal of his
time in sanitariums since that fight.
He went through a three hours con-
test, at Goldfeld that might we'll have
Slapped the energy and nerve of big
ger and better man than he. Cans
himself has not been very conspicu-
Gus by his responsiveness since and
his fight with Herman at Tonopah
was farce.
Now it is claimed that Nelson's
heart is broken. The wallOping he
+ook from Joe Cans, a colored man. did
it if anything. His manager has ar
ranged a fight with Britt for this
month and Nelson defeated Britt the
last time out If Nelson again de-
feats him will the Dane come back?
Is these good fight in him yet?
Is there a good fight in him vet?
1t must be conceded that neither
man will put up anything like the
fight they did two years ago. But
which has broken down the most?
This fight. if it comes off. will settle
lot of questions like these.

BASEBALL BOYS ARE "S0RE"
Too Many People View Games
From Outside

It is probable the Wonders will
play the Dayton team on the home
grounds next Sunday afternoon.
Final arrangements for this game
have not been completed, but unless
something unexpected comes up, II
will be pulled off.
The Wonders are making a good
showing in reducing their debt Ihey
have hammered it down for $500 to
about SIS and this will undoubtedly
be liquidated by the proceeds of the
next two games.
Last Sundays game stood the team
in only about $50, while the Sunday
before it Melted $50. This drop in the
amount of net proceeds. however. does
NOT ecessarily indicate a falling on
n attendance at the game. In TINS
case it is largely due to the fact ina,
the tops of box cars. adjacent sheds,
etc. look more attractive to a certain
class of patrons than seat IN the
grand stand or bleachers.
At yesterdays game, men. women
and children in numbers, holsted them-
selves to different perCVes of vantage
from which they watched the game. A
troop of six cavalrymen line the
fence watching the game from ther
horses backs. The queer part OF II
all is that these people who take thls
of the boys are never seen
to comeover to the ticket window at
the game with their big quarter. one
would almost be led to believe they
were afraid of that quarter.
Undoubtedly the boys will get out
of debt this season even though they
are handicapped by not being able 10
collect admittance from fourth 10
third of their audience. They are not
narrow enough between the eyes TO
begrudge the cheap skates the quar-
ter so industriously saved. so don't De
bashful about lining up on the top OF
the cars and sheds at next Sunday
game.

TO CHANGE CEMETERY NAME
People Like Not The Present
City Cemetery"

1t is more than probable the city of
the dead known as the city cemetery
will shortly be rechristened.
Much objection to the name city
cemetery" has been expressed recently,
owing to the fact that to a stranger
the name would imply it was a por-
ters field, whereas. though it is owned
bv the city, it is conducted as though
it were owned by a private corpora
ton.
Several names have been proposed,
the most popular of which are Blue
Mountain and Mountain View ceme-
terry.
Should the name be changed it is
probable that one of the above will be
adopted.
