Stevedore implicated.

Jackson is a bad negro, whose previous
record has been black. He will prob
abl.- be sent up to the criminal court, and
meanwhile an investigation will be con-
Quoted. In the opinion of Ballih Curran
of the police court, the stevedore is to
blame, having accepted bride and
brought Jackson into the court room. in
Producing him as Williams
The stevedore is constantly causing
trouble around the jail as he is con-
victed criminal. and has a hand in every
escape. Only few months ago he figured
in the escape of two men through the
walls. In fact, the prisoners can easily
get away with little assistance on his
part at any time.
Whether the stevedore is guilty of this
offense or not there is much criticism of
the plan and 1t is probable that the
council will take some action in the mat
ter.

PRATT OFFICIALS
To BEGIN DUTIES
Mayor and Aldermen Will Take
0aths Tonight
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Is Unchanged and Same Officers
Are Notwithstanding Speaks
Highly Of the Corps Of
Teachers.

Pratt City March 10.-(Special)-
new mayor and board of aldermen will
take their oaths OF office tomorrow night,
and the affairs of the city will be turned
over to them for the next two years.
1t is very probable that the appoint
ments will not be made to the minor
positions at this meeting, as 1t will be
late when the necessary formalities are
gone through with, but that the new
board will call meeting for Tuesday
night, when these appointments will be
made.
There are said to be three or more
candidates for the city clerkship, but
from expressions heard on the street,
the race seems to be mainly between
Robert Farley and Walter Gibson, with
odds In favor OF Gibson, who is the in
cumbent.
So far as is known. Chris fairfield
has no opposition for chief of police.
There may possibly be a change in san
itary inspectors position, as it is ru-
morod that Granger the incumbent, wants
to make a change, and that Fred Lewis
will succeed him
The patrolmen will also be appointed
at the same time the others are made,
and it is whispered around that there
will probably be a shake up in this de-
partment.
The new board has already had heads
together in regard to making extensive
improvements and ]. e. Lacey, the new
ly elected mayor and DR.. j. f. Seay,
both say that there is no doubt but
that the improving of the streets will
be one of the first matters that Will re-
ceive their attention, which is very wei
come news to the citizens of the town,
for there has been much complaint as to
their condition.
They also state that the matter OF put
ting in storm and sanitary sewerage will
be thoroughly gone into. and IL there
is any feasible plan whereby the neces-
sary funds can be raised, complete
sewerage system will be put in, which
could be easily connected with the coun-
ty sewer close at hand, at Village creek.
DIR. Seay states that Mayor Hudnail
leaves the city's affairs in first class
shape financially, and that he is firmly
of the opinion that Pratt City Will haSe
sewerage at an early date.

Chief Wier has the reputation of be-

force, and he was a close second to
the dusky racer. This was very much like
the relay race in which the chief par

twenty-five shouting and eager boys.
Chief Wier took several shots at the

For The Farmer.

For the encouragement of
dairy farmers in those districts
which are without condenseries
we may remark that their farm
lands will grow richer while the
land of those who sell milk will
grow poorer, says the Oregon
Agriculturist. 1t was long ago
observed in England that in the
long run the farming districts
which made butter were more
prosperous than those which
made cheese. The reason was
that the farms grew more pro-
ductive in the butter-making dis
tricts while they became less
productive in the cheese-making
districts.
The substance of butter comes
out OF the air. 1t takes almost
nothing from the soil. Selling
milk does not rob The soil as
rapidly as selling wheat but it
steadily removes fertility from
the land. It is estimated that
every thousand pounds of milk
sold represents the taking of one
dollars worth of fertility from
the land. The business farmer
will take this into account and
make allowance to1 it when he
is selling milk TO condenseries,
cheese factories or for shipment
to cities. II he gets enough
more for the milk than for the
cream to make up for the loss of
fertility and then makes up the
loss to the soil be will be all right,
and his land will be maintained
in fertility aud productiveness.

"WHOFEARS TOSPEAK OF'o87"

When the late John Kells In
gram, formerly senior fellow and
vice provost of Trinity college, Dub
lin, wrote the ballad ''Who Fears to
Speak of Ninety-eight ?" by which
he was so well known, he was a
young student in his twentieth
year. A writer in the Manchester
Guardian tells that about the time
when the ballad appeared prepara-
tions were being made for the ar
rest and prosecution of the 1oung
Irelanders" for high treason. The
whole tone of Trinity college was
then, as it Is now, anti-lrish, and
the college authorities took the
alarm. His own friends and rela-
tions Joined in persuading Ingram
not TO write any more ballads. The
result of the influences brought to
bear upon the youthful poet was
that he never again wrote word
of what may be called Irish nation
al literature. 1t is said that in after
life he was anxious to let it be
known that he had ceased to enter
tain the views of his student days,
and Dublin wag once said that
the true answer to the question,
'Who fears to speak of ninety
eight? ?" was John Kells Ingram"

without foundation. - Westminster
