No More Half Rates For Clergy.

Clergyman, charity workers,
inmates OF soldiers and sailor s
homes hereafter when they travel
will pay full fare, the same as
ordinary citizens. Ever since the
two-cent rate laws began to be agi-
tated, the reduced fares for clergy
men have been - up in the air. "
More than 100, 600 annual certificates
now in existance will be cancelled.
In the West these grant q rate OF
II cent mile, and in the East two
cents a mile.
The railroads we're disposed for, a
time to let these certificates stand,
in as much as they bad been issued
for the year, but it was decided at
the meeting of the Western and
tinental association to call
them 10. The general inclination Of
the country to demand flat two
cent rate determined the action. The
roads feel that they can show no
fsyors, and the present rate is low
enough for any body. In other words
the roads are more in the way OF
needing charity Chan they are in q
position to extend it. The order just
made public will not be felt by
clergymen travelling over Eastern
lines, but will fall chiefly upon the
West and Southwest.

COUNTY SEAT COMMENTS

So many sections are represent ed on the ticket named at the nominating convention that it will be pretty hard for Imperial to wean away any votes for can didates of its own-and the pro- gramme is said to be so well fixed for Fl Centro as the county seat that it hardly can fail to carry Los Angeles Times.
 Imperial seems to be hopelessly behind in the race for the county seat, unless some break appears in the serried ranks of her rivals. San Diego Union.

Clark H. Bradshaw is out in a lengthy article trying to over come the worthless check incl dent. It's a fine thing for him to accuse anyone else of things he cannot prove, but when he himself is brought face to face with the facts it hurts. Like one Imperial man said: "It's the truth that hurts in this cam paign against Imperial" As for MT. Bradshaw, he knew he was doing wrong when he lent himself to do the work for the Imperial campaign committee and that he should get come up with is not to be wondered at.
Imperial Valley press., 1907-07-23

The Imperial push and the standard made the assertion that Fl Centro made promises which were broken at the convention. Will they please tell what prom ises were made, who were the promises made to and when. We are anx1ous to know. Unless they tell Us we will have 10 con- clude that these statements of theirs are lies, like the rest of the statements they are making. Come forth, push, and speak; don't just merely make general statements. Be more specific.

A story told of an Imperial man who now and then aspires to be chairman of political meet ings. According to the story Imperial had this certain man slated to be chairman of the con- vention and he was so sure of being chairman that he had pre- pared very appropriate speech for the occasion, the notes of which he lost on the floor of the hall. From the notes 1t appears he was going to turn loose cer- tain brand of eloquence which the Standard said at one time he could uncork when he chose. Too bad that all that prepara. tory effort was lost, and if the delegates knew just what they missed they would certainly be sorry for what they did.

If their campaign fund for cor ruption purposes is not yet ex- hausted the Imperial committee might spare a dollar and a halt or so to take up their secretary's worthless check.
Imperial Valley press., 1907-07-23

Inasmuch as yours truly Clark H. Bradshaw, Sec'v." writes garbled figures and Howe prints them, it was not unnatural to suppose that the worthless check was part of the campaign scheme. Anyway we simply asked, How(e) about 1t?

If Yours truly, Clark H.. Bradshaw, Secy." would pay a little more attention to his per sonal finances and get out and make a little money to pay his honest debts with instead of is- suing checks which are returned by his home bank as Il. g., read CTS of his juggled figures might put little more weight in what he says. A secretary of an exc cutive committee of town that wants to be county seat whose credit at his home bank is not worth twice six bits, will cut only a small chunk of ice in 1nfuenc- ing votes for the town in which he lives and for which he is work tug. And how about the com nittee which keeps him ln the place he occupies?

Imperial's duplicity is becom- ing more apparent every day. Just before the primaries of last Saturday as high as twenty rigs went out from Imperial in all di- 1ections. The game was to try and influence everything in favor of Imperial. The Imperial push believed the people would not take much interest in the seleC- tion of delegates to the cOnven- tion and ina agined that by some political tr1ckery they would be able to have such delegates as were favorable to .Imperial's cause elected to the convention. h every town they had their slate" prepared, but it failed to go through. The push at Imper- ial has always tried to carry things with such a high hand, that the entire valley has come to look upon any more they make with suspicion.

A very intelligent and observing
farmer says: The Importance of a
mulch to counteract a drought was
presented to me in a rather forclble
manner last spring. we had planted
few rows of early beans and after
they had come up we had a cold spell.
and In order to save the beans from the
frost, they were covered with planks.
After the danger from frost had passed.
at one end Of the rows the planlIs were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was a dry sea-
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth of the others The
growth was evidently due to the mois-
ture saved by the planks.

Nall Wounds In Horses re~f.
1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries in
the horses hoof may lead to an lnfecs
ton followed by the formation OF pus
under the horn of the hoof, and seri-
Gus general disease of the horse, or at
least the loss Of the hoof
In a bulletin OF the South Dakota
Station, Mr.. Moore recently reported
results obtained in a number of cases
from applying a strict antlseptic treat
ment to injuries of this sort The
method consists In pairing away the
horn of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out The
foot Is then thoroughly washed In a so
luton of bichloride Of mercury, in the
proportion OF one part to 500 parts of
water, after which absorbent cotton,
saturated in a solution of the same
strength, is applied to the wound, and
the whole hoof Is packed In cotton. sur
rounded by bandage and well coated
with tar. This prevents any further
filth from coming In contact with tho
wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian. Suisse
quent treatment however, can be APP
piled by the average farmer, since all
that Is necessary is to pour little OF
the solution OF bichlorlde Of mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part OF the bandage The
cotton will absorb enough of the solu-
ton to keep the wound molstened and
hasten the healing process. If rem
edy Of this sort is not adopted in the
case of foot wound in the horse, tho
owner runs considerable risk of seri-
Gus Infection either of blood poisoning
or lockjaw.

There has been a rapid increase the

but the increase did not stop at that
rate On the first of January, 1901.
there We're no less than 1854 900

Those who are inclined 10 talk over
production at the present are confront

there was also an increase In price per
head amounting to over so per cent

WASHINGTON FIRST.
Idaho and Oregon, Too, Show Sig
Gains In Lumber Production, Ac-.
cordlng to Forestry Report.

Washington led In 1906 in the pro
ductiop of lumber, with 4,3O5, 053 900
feet; it was three times that of 1899
any other state.
The forest service has prepared its
report on the lumber census for the
year 1906 and presents facts showing
that the timber industry in this coun.
try has grown to immense proportions,
its aggregate value being about $780,
100000, or 5 per cent on $4,000, eOO,-
OO0
The reported lumber production of
the United States was 1850, 736, 600
feet, with a mill value of 1921, l51,3SS,
the largest quantity ever reported for
a single year and by far the greatest
value In addition there were pro
duced 11,S5S,260,00o shingles, valued
at $24,154,555, and 1872, S07 900 lath,
valued at $11 ,490.570. The total value
of the lumber. lath and single produc,
ton reported in 1906 was thus $685.
79b,513. Making a fair allowance for
incomplete reports, 1t is safe to say
that at present the annual lumber cut
of the United States approximates 49,
000,000,000 feet and that the total mill
value of the lumber, lath and shingles
annually produced is not less than
$700,O00,O00.
The changes which have taken place
in the cut of the various species are
strikingly reflected in this table. The
cut of Idaho in 1000 was mora tbop
six times that of 1899, that of Wash
ington was triple and that of Oregon
more than double. In the same length
of time the lumber production of
Louisiana increased 1911 per cent.
that of California SS.7 per cent and
that of Mississippi SO per cent. On
the other hand, the cuts of Indiana and
Ohio decreased 81 per cent, that of
Georgia 36.4 per cent and that of Wis
consin and Michigan 30 per cent.
In 1906 Idaho cut 41S,944OOO and
Oregon 1,6O4,S94. 900 feet.

An authority claims that fully one
third Of the manure voided on the
farms Of the United States is lost. The
fermentation of manure Is caused bv
the action Of two forms OF organisms.
One form is that which requires an
abundance of oxygen and dies when ex-
posed to 1t. The former thrives on the
outside OF the heap and the latter in
the Interior. The latter's office seems
to break up the more complex particles
and prepare them for the action of the
former. If the action of the former
is too rapid a great deal of the nitro
gen passes of into the air in the form
OF ammonia or free nitrogen. and Is lost
to the soil from whence it came.
