MORE DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

The Pullman Tribune states that

ricultural conditions, observes the
Seattle acknowledgements. They are

because that class of special farming
does not insure returns enough to JUS
tify its continuation. The families
are lonely, and want neighbors closer
than at present, and with more PER
manent places of abode. Some are
leaving the farms to engage in other
occupations. But many are Solving
the problem by the introduction of new
methods for tilling the soil. They are
looking more to the dairy, poultry and
hog raising features of diversific /
farming.
A few suggestions are offered by tho
Tribune. which are worthy of caresu
consideration. 1t says:
IF the people of Pullman reached Il
stage where they could work togethcr

starch factory, a straw paper mill a
condensed milk factory. fruit ami
vegetable cannery, and perhaps a
sugar beet factory, We believe the
farmers would have large field /,
work in supplying these manufactures
with raw material
To make those industries a financial
success the farmers must adopt mixed
agriculture. They must divide up the
large prospective small farmers. a

the products of many orchards. If tn
farmers had a few more acres each
devoted to orcharding, and would give
the trees proper attention. there would
be a greater income from a five-acre
tract planted to fruit than from a
quarter section planted to grain. TIL
same is true of other products of IL
versifed agriculture. The big farm
ers have too much money invested. and
must depend TO great extent on inn
ported help that is of no value except
during the harvest season. Small farm

legislature he recommended the crea-
ton of a commission. McBride's poll
CIV lived if he was defeated. There
was never a close affiliation between
Mead and the practical politicians OF
the state. He was simply political
exigency that was accepted. Even IN
defeat Mcbride had the sympathy that
one fighter gives to another. and in
the past three years Mead has not won
this away from him.
The fact that Mead's administration
is organizing for his nomination
shows that his advisers recognize there
has existed a breach that has never
been healed or that republican fac
ton in this state is dissatisfied with
the present governor. Were this not
true no organization would be conf
coded. The talk of Mcbride IS
prompted by republican anxiety for
some one to defeat the present gov
ernor.
+ McBrde's Old Enemies Turning.
The old lines that existed between
the politicians and the Mcbride men
as the railroad commiss on agitation
drew the line have disappeared. Some
Of the strongest railroad men of 1901
% have been among the first to urge
Mcbride to be a candidate TO sue
coed Mead and the men who stood
with Mcbride during the four years
he acted as governor and lieutenant
governor have fraternized in the eff
fort to bring him out again without
asking each other for terms or con-
side ring the mater. Even those who
are urging Mcbride to be candidate
do lot underestimate Mead's strength.
The voting population of the state has
changed in four years and there are
neighbors who Governor Mead's OPP
ponents are. They know about Mead
and whether they like him or not and
politicians figure that the floating
vote should go to him because of. the
prestige of an incumbency.
Just what effect Cosgrove's swing
over the state has had no politician
has been able to determine. There is
no question but that Cosgrove's east
side friends are enthusiastic and that
the grand army is strong for the
Pomeroy man. That showed in the
state convention held at Ballard
where at a campfire the veterans of
the civil war lauded Cosgrove as the

actual proffers of support have not
been strong enough to determine an
outcome.

If it should. develop that Governor
Mead's principal opponent for the re-
publican nomination for governor next
year was Henry Mcbride, and if it
should occur that the strongest advo-
fought him hardest in 1904, it would
not surprise those men who keep in
close touch with politics in Washing
ton, writes the Tacoma correspondent
of the Oregonian.
There has grown up Mcbride sem
timent during the past four months
that is fast crystallizing into real
boom. The Mcbride mail has grow.
to abnormal proportions and there is
a surprisingly small percentage of the
letters the ex-governor opens that
pertains to his law practice. By far
the great majority are of a political
character, and they urge his candidacy
against Governor Mead next year. Not
encouragement to the demand for his
domination. There is no question but
that the advocacy of his nomination is
pleasing to the ex-governor. but even
if he We're ambitious, Mcbride is too
old a politician to make the mistake
of yielding too easily. Aside from
the political side he doesn't want to
yield though the pressure grows
strong. His law practice has been
growing satisfactorily and his business
investments have been profitable. If
Mcbride consulted his own wishes he
would remain in the law practice and
leave politics severely alone. But
things are coming to such a pass that
a decision of this kind will be hard tC
make.
Railroads Nominated Mead.
What is known as the "old guard"
in Washington politics was strongest
when Mcbride was Lieutenant govern or
and governor. They rode roughshod
over Mcbride, but he fought back
gamely and finally lost out in the 1904
convention, through the activity of

Diplomacy Of "Fighting Bob"

A good many false impressions
about men are bred by their conversa-
t.onal habits or their letter writing
talent. There is Bob" Evans. for ex-
ample. Some people once called him
Fighting Bob" Evans, and he pro-
NOTED the conception that was formed
from that uncnviable term by pictu-
resquely purple talk and letters. But.
as matter of fact, there is no more
tactful, polite and cautious officer in
lie navy than Evans.
Once in Alexandria he was COM
fortably anchored in an admirable
berth, when the British fleet entered
under the command of one OF the
Seymours. The flagship signalled to
the others that an American. ship was
occupying the. spot which the admir-
al intended for his own ship. Evans,
reading the signals through his glass,
set his sails, reversed, and backed out
to become the friend of the British adj
miral forever after. Schley, the
tactful-and the tactician-sent his
men ashore in Chile, whose people
then wanted to destroy the United
States: a row followed, and a Unit
ed States boatswain was killed.
The clustering Evans in the Yam
kee would not grant shore liberty to
any man of his fleet He was TOO eau
tious. A very sedate officer. one N:.ose
fame for caution is still prevalent in
the service, insisted upon preferrirg
charges against Schley, but the
"hasty'' Evans advised that it should
not be, for politics would defeat
them. Of all men who shouldn't be
taken on their face, but On their deeds.
Evans and other sailormen are among
the most conspicuous. Observe, too,
how many different kinds of presidents
have affected him. Hayes was a
companion; Cleveland shot 'snipe with
him; Roosevelt admires him. The
only secretary of the navy who did
not like him was William E. Chand-
