HORsETH|Ef NOT BRANDED
Queer Error il Opinion Of the
State Supreme Court

An almost forgotten statute permit
ting allegation Of ownership Of stolen
property in the state of Washington,
where the actual owner is unknown
will send Louis Eddy of AsOtin coun-
ty to prison on horse stealing
charge.
Eddy was charged with stealing
gelding and the prosecution was unit
able to find out who owned the animal.
The information accordingly charged
that the horse was "owned by the
state of Washington" Eddy's attor-
neys on appeal commended that the in
formation was defective because it did
not properly allege ownership of the
horse The prosecution, however, dug
up section 1851, Ballinger's code, which
permits just such a practice and the
Judgment of conviction was sustained
An amusing typographical error oc-
Cured in the opinion as first handed
down. which was later corrected. AS 1t
read the opinion stated that the APP
pellant was not branded, but that he
was a slickear an outlaw" The Opin-
ion was promptly revised to make the
phrase refer to the stolen gelding in
stead of the appellant.

COULDN'T RAISE THE SPUDS

Raising potatoes by irrigation is

rancher, and he would always show me

AND THE DRIVER DIDN'T Do IT
Laundry Rig Gets in Way Of
StreetCar

One of the delivery wagons from
the Troy laundry collided with street
car on East Main street this noon, to
the sorrow Of the .Wagonette.
In front of the Model livery barn
are piles of sand and other trash
which have accumulated in building
the new sidewalks in that vicinity. The
wagon had turned the corner from
Spokane street onto Main and getting
between these heaps of rubbish and the
track the driver apparently made no
effort to escape the collision although
the motorman rang his gong sufficient
ly to attract the attention of all the
passersby to the affair.
Instead of hurrying the driver kept
his slow pace and seemed to invite the
impact with the car which the mo-
tormgan was powerless to avoid. Just
as the driver awoke to the sense of his
danger the car struck the wagon, cav
ing one wheel in and nearly upsetting
the outfit.
Thought I could make it, is the
only explanation Of the collision Of

TO TEST STATE LAW ON
CORPORATIONS COMING IN

OLYMPIA, June 2S.-The Amalga-
mated Republic Mines company of
Arizona has brought mandamus pro-
ceedngs in the supreme court to COM
pei Secretary Of State S. H. Nichols
20 accept and file it's articles of cor

rotary Nichols, after advising with the
attorney general, refused to file the ar
ticles on the ground that under the
terms of the articles the corporation
can engage in the real estate business,
which a foreign corporation is pro-
hibitei from doing, and could also car
ry on business as a trust, without
complying with the requirements i'm
posed upon domestic corporations.

new MILEAGE BOOKS
ARE GOOD IN THE STATE

A. M. Cleland, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific, has Is
sued instructions to conductors of the
road in the state of Washington that
the 1000 mile books, which are now
being sold by the company for $50, are
not to be valid outside the state. They
are good only for transportation be-
tween two points, both of which are
in the state of Washington, and must
not be accepted for transportation be-
tween stations not in Washington or
between a station in Washington and
a station in another state.

made on all sides most favorable i'm
pressiOn. The wide spread announce
ment of jealous and hostile press that
he would read his tedious statistical
essay on the subject" was so far from
the mark that it was an important ele-
ment In creating this favorable impress
sion. His grasp OF his subject is wide
and nnfaltering, his delivery virile and
impressive, his whole manner digni-
fed and sympathetic, lie wing his hear
ers the feeling that he is the master
of the situation, imparting to each
largely of his own interest and insight.
He sticks closely to his text, making
no slightest reference to local politics
or personal differences. A man who
can do this In the face of wide and bit
ter opposition is certain to attract
sympathy and appreciation. When
the time comes for Senator Kittredge
to present his own case for cOnsdera-
tion the people of Union county will give
him fair, full and judicial hearing.

And there's only one thing lacking,
That's the dainty baby cab.
He's been down to the isthmus
Where they're digging the canal,
Perhaps he'll tell the story
At a later interval;
But altho' he's heard the thunder

He's never truly listened
To the cradles soothing rock.

II the d1Herenr KINDS or S1OS are
properly built, there will be no differ
ence between them, so far as the quail
ity of the ensilage is concerned, says
Hoard's Dairyman. They will all keep
silage equally we'll The difference be-
tween stone and concrete silo is en-
tirely one of cost and convenience of
building. A stone silo needs mason
to lay the stone properly, while ce-
ment silo can be built by unskilled
labor. The only advantage cement
silo has over a wooden one Is In its
lasting qualities. Properly built, a
stone or cement silo will last indefinite
~, while a wooden silo is good for fif
teen to twenty years, depending on the
kind and quality of the wood used.
Makes Dairyins Profitable.
Professor b. H. Rawl says Of the
silo: In the majority of cases you can
not run dairy proftably without a
silo. l unhesitatingly recommend 1t to
every dairyman as one Of the cheapest
means Of producing the best results
Silage takes the place of green stuff In
winter and keeps the cattle in good,
healthy condition
A Valuable Food.
Silage Is very low in protein and
yet is very valuable food. In fact,
silage has not as much protein ton for
ton as Oat straw. 1t is valuable be-
cause Of its succulence and as an aid
to digestion. Everything that the COW
eats the silage helps to- digest. Mr..
Gillett understood this or he would not
have fed Colantha 4th Johanna thirty
pounds per day Of it during the sixty
three days test, but he realized that
he could not feed a COW as much grain
as he was feeding without having some
succulent food with it, to keep the di-
gestive organs In healthy condition.
Tho Stave SIo.
The stave silo, il well made and
rightly put up, Is usually satisfactory.
believe 1t Is wisest for those who
want stave silos to purchase them
from some reliable firm. The wood
should be right and the slaves well
fitted up and tongued and grooyed
Rnd then put together just right. 1
have visited many feeders who are
Osing and have used for considerable
I time different makes Of stave silos, and
almost invariably they speak well OF
them, and ! cannot recall a single In
stance where the silage was not good.
Home made stave silos have given
much trouble and wasted cargoes Of
