Growing Strawberries.

. The strawberry is too valuable
an addition to the table and is so
easily grown that every farmer or
lot owner should raise at least
enough for home use, says the Pa
cific Northwest Farmer.
Two square rods if we'll fcrtilizcd
and tended will yield enough to
supply the table of an ordinary FAM
lily and leave some for canning.
Find someone who has a thrifty
patch and intends to fit it for
crop next year. Get the privilege
of taking out plants after the crop
is off. AS soon as the crop is off
take a spade and cut blocks eight
or more inches square and place
on the bottom of a wagon bed or
wheelbarrow, if close by. Haul
these blocks to your ground, which
has been previously prepared by Gull
tivation. Dig holes little larger
than the prepared blocks into which
they (the blocks) are then placed
and holes filled as for planting
trees. A liberal wetting should
be given them in case the ground
is not already we'll moistcned. If
the work is thoroughly done the
vines will make healthy growth
and new runners will push out and
make solid rows, if the blocks are
planted every two feet. This is
lot of bother, but small patch
will amply repay anyone for the
trouble.
The second expedient is to take
new settings, which may be OBJ
tanned in the latter part of July or
the fore part of August, and plant
them about a foot apart in rows,
being sure to keep all runners cut
so the plants will get stocky. A fine
crop may be secured the next spring
from plants so treated.

Why Hill Succeeded.

James ]. Hill entered the railroad
business in 1881 as, general man
ager of the ST. Paul and Pacific
railroad, and a clew to the reasons
of his success may be found in
the following from an article in
the April Evcrybody's.
" He was baggagcman, conduct
or, engineer, trackwalker, fireman,
passenger agent, freight agent, trsf-
fic manager, and everything else
on the road at different times, one
of the men who was with him as
assistant at this time told me. He
looked after every detail until those
who watched him were appalled,.
Not a box of rubber bands was
bought that he didn't o. X. the
order and supervise payment. He
not only learned how the work
was being done, but devised meth
DDS of doing it differently, doing it
better, more economically, more ex-
pedicntly. System followed in his
wake, system in every department.
Reilrosding as he found it was an
involved, cumbersome, chaotic at

We Eat Too Much.


Medical science declares that
practically seven-eihgts of our ills,
are due to overlooking. Colds in
the head are often due to eating too
much. ssnaSa-5
1t may be claimed that our well
spread boards are meagre compared
to those of our ancestors. Probably,
but our ancestors were hardy and
able to throw off the effects of a
hearty meal. We do not take. into
consideration the great difference
between their life and ours. AS it
is, we cat altogether too much food
for our health and comfort, and the
fashionable remedy tor most ail-
ments is scmi-starvation for .
period of varying lengths.
The great Edison says that he
has not only become convinced that
mortals sleep too much, but that
they eat many times more than they
should. He is proving his beliefs
by personal experiments, and says
that his power to work and en-
dure fatigue has increased to an
amazing degree.

Growing Potatoes at Greeley, Colorado
PETER BROWN, Experienced Grower Writes of His Method

reason they are more apt to rot in
the ground after planting. Select
your seed from where there has
been good crop the year before
and which shows no signs of run
ming out. We seldom use seed
more than two years of the same
ground and import hndreds of
of cars from the northern states
every year.
And now let me impress on you
that the most essential thing re-
quired to grow a large crop of po-
tatoes is to keep your ground loose.
Plow at least six or seven inches
deep. Cultivate deep the first
time, not SO deep the second time
and not at all after the potatoes are
well formed except with the
ditcher and the hoe. Ditch deep
and don't fill the bitches so full
that you will flood the top of the
rows. Let your water draw up from
below and your land will not bake.
If you are in need of further in
formation let US know and we
will be pleased to help you out.
Yours truly, PETER BROWN.

very evident that by 1908 these
companies will cut considerable fig
ure in copper production; in fact,
IT is estimated that they will be
able to add 200, 900, 600 pounds to

The Calumet and Hecla Mining

at 400 cents per pound in several
different lots. Some of this copper

this country and abroad. The most

PRUNING Rose Bushes.

Unless you wish to raise bramblcs
rather than bloom you must trim
the rose bushes and trim them
severely and early. 1t is not nee
essary to use the heavy shears
made for this purpose for there
are many successful growers vino
never use use them. A grass sickle
will do it beautifully, or the big
blade of a pocketknife kept well
sharpened will serve every purpose.
With the exception of climbing
roses, all bushes should be trimmed
back each spring almost to the
ground. Don't be afraid to cut.
Leave only three or four buds 10
each shoot and have no fear of the
result. The flowers will be larger,
richer and far more plentiful than
ever before. Climbers also should
be cut back each spring, but not so
much. Take about one-third of
last seasons growth only, and be
glad.

Assays that have been made show
the ore to be from 65 to 70 per cent
copper.
What is believed to be an entire

in the properties of the Mason VAL

There has been a new contrib
utor of high-grade copper ore from
the great country of Beaver added
to the list, and one that promises
to eclipse oil its predecessors in
the Newhouse Cactus property, and
steady shipments are now being
sent from the mine.
General Manager Watts of the
Seven Troughs Eclipse Gold Min
ing company of Seven Troughs
has sent word that he has just
made big strike of free gold ore
in the shaft. The vein, he states,
is as well defined and as strong as
any in the camp.
Word has reached Salt Lake from
the Statclinc mining district of
Utah to the effect that the Big Sun
flower property in that section has
been the scene of a splendid strike
of silver, the assays showing the
ore to run $0.3S ounces silver and
$3.50 ounces gold.
The crosscut from the bottom OF
the Black Bull shaft of the Mont
gomery Mountain, at Goldfield,
passed through two good lodges last

the other four feet. These lodges
carry fair milling values. Drifting
will be done on these lodges.

ambassador Bryce is Versatile

Not only has James Bryce, the new
Ambassador from Great Britain, writ
ten one of the best books ever penned
on the life and institutions of Amer
lea, but he is sure of an even warmer
welcome from the fact that he speaks
throughout that great work in terms
of warm admiration of the American
woman. He is solid with both sides.
And one may say that there is not a
section in the community on whose
welcome James Bryce has not some
special claim. There is the great
bulk of the nation, to which the
American Commonwealth recon-
mends him. To the Irish-Americans
he comes as stanch Home-Ruler,
who never for moment wavered in
his convictions. To the German
Americans he may proudly boast that
he is an alumnus of Heidelberg, that
he is lifelong student of German
literature and history, that, in his
first political campaign, he had the
honor, shared by few British mem
bers of Parliament, of addressing the
German electors of East London in
their own Teutonic tongue To the
French, he can point to his splendid
study of Charlemagne, in the Holy
Roman Empire, and say that few his
torians have done more ample justice
to the great reviver of the Roman
Empire. The Italians should well
come him as great student of Italy,
from the days Of Julius Caesar up to
the present day. He may fraternize
with the Swiss, if we have any among
us, on the high ground that, for
years, he was one of the most intrepid
climbers of their lovely mountains,
and is former president of the AL
pine Club. The Hungarians will re-

Contractors Bids Rejected; Stevens
Resigns and Major Cocktails

Washington, D. C.-The Panama
Canal will be built by army engi-

private contractors have been reject
ed; Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
will, after leaving the Senate on
March 4, be appointed a member of
the Canal Commission; John F. Ste
vens, chief engineer of the Panama
Canal, has resigned, and his resigna-
ton has been accepted
These facts were announced at the
White House, after most exhaus-
tive inquiry into the merits of the pri-
vate contract system. and after am
pie opportunity had been afforded to
all the interested contractors to dem
onstrate their ability to undertake a
task of the magnitude which the en-
terprise on the isthmus is certain to
assume
Chief Engineer Stevens, who has
carried on the work with brilliant
success during the last eighteen
months, and who heartily concurs
with the President in the belief that
all bids should be rejected for the
best interests of the Government, will
be succeeded as chief engineer by
Major George w. Goethals, an army
engineer Of great experience and ex-
ecutive ability Major Goethals will
start for the canal zone Immediately,
to take from Mr. Stevens the com.
mand of the work. Major Goethals
will be clothed with all the powers
now in the hands of Chairman Shonts
and Chief Engineer Stevens, and
should he at any time in the future
become incapacitated for the work or
leave the enterprise, he will be sue
ceeded by other army engineers, two
of whom are designated by the Presi-
dent to go to the isthmus with him,
and who with him will also become
members of the reorganized Canal
Commission
Nearly all of these interesting facts
were made public at the White House,
and most of them were found in the
text of letter the President wrote to
the chairman of the Isthmian Canal
Commission.

ILLINOIS FARMER KILLS FOUR
Shocking Murderous Frenzy OF
Thomas Baldwin of CoIfaX.
One of the Old Mans Victims Was a
Fourteen-Year-Old Niece Whom
He Had AListreatcd.

Bloomington, Ill. - Enraged by
Grand Jury proceedings to punish
him for mistreating his fourteen
year-old niece, Thomas Baldwin, a
wealthy farmer, sixty-eight years old,
| recently made a widower, began a
campaign of vengeance, and when he
concluded four persons had been muir
dered, including the little girl whom
he had so outrageously wronged,
The child, Cora Eiseman. was his
last victim and his murder of her was
| most cruel. She had just seen her
mother shot to death and was striv-
ing to escape by crawling through
thorny hedge when. Baldwin ran up
and shot her to death.
Baldwin resides near Colfax and
is one of the best known men in the
county. He was one of the leading
merchants of the town until he re-
tired to live on his farm. His large
interests in various enterprises made
him of Importance commercially, and
he was one of the most conspicuous
church members in the place.
Last October his wife died and he
seemed to mourn her deeply His lit
tie niece, Cora Eiseman, lived with
her mother and sister about three
miles northeast of Arrowsmith, ten
miles from Baldwin's home. He went
there a week after his wife's death
and persuaded Mrs. Simeon Eiseman
to let Cora live with him, saying he
would take the best of care of her
and provide literally for her i'll his
will. Soon after the girl became an
inmate of his home he mistreated her
on lonely country road between Col
fax and Arrowsmith. The girl told
her mother, and Mrs. Eiseman, being
averse to the notoriety which would
attend prosecution, refrained from
making formal complaint. Baldwin
in the meantime gave her 5000 in set
tlement.
Baldwin then supposed the matter
had been finally disposed of, but the
news of his offense was carried to
States Attorney w. R. Bach, and he
promptly submitted the case to the
Grand Jury and Baldwin was indicted
On being arrested Baldwin vowed
vengeance upon everybody connected
with the proceedings to punish him.
Nevertheless he was released on
$1,000 bond.
During the morning Baldwin took
a revolver, supply of cartridges and
a quart bottle of whisky and drove to
Arrowsmith. He first went to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ken
nedy, friends of the Eisemans, whom
he suspected of giving the facts to
the States Attorney, and shot them
both dead.
Then he re-entered his buggy and
drove to the Eiseman home. Mrs.
Eiseman saw him coming and, fear
ing him, called Cora and the other
children into the house and locked
the door. Presently, however, she
opened the door and tried to mollify
Baldwin, but his answer was to fire
two bullets into her breast, killing
her instantly.
Cora and the other children started
to run. Baldwin paid no attention
to the others, but with curses fol-
lowed the little girl whom he had
wronged. She had reached ledge
and was crawling through to reach
some neighbors when he reached her.
He shot her dead while she was beg
ging for mercy
Baldwin then hunted UP deputy
sheriff at Arrowsmith and surren-
dcred.
