RESIGNATION OFFERED.

Mayor John r. Hearne, who is also
president of the Palestine Board of
Trade, beside being the president of
the Royal National Bank, and a very
busy man, has rendered his resigna-
ton as president of the Board of
Trade, the same being presented to
the executive committee in session
last night The Herald keenly appre-
ciates that too much is being asked of
Mr.. Hearne in a public way. and for
--S@MgiIzr pEys- NO returns on the
time taken from his private business
affairs. 1t is appreciated that this is
too much to ask of one citizen, and
Mr.. Hearne has a right to offer his
resignation. 1t would be fair to him
to accept his resignation, and release
him from this part of his burden. But
to do SO would be hurtful to the inter-
ests of the Board, and the Herald be-
lieves to the interest of the entire city.
Mr.. Hearne, by his unselfish interest
in public matters, has earned the rep
utation of being progressive citizen,
a man who can do things for his town,
and the people are willing to risk his
judgment and follow his advice in
public undertakings. And for this
reason his presence at the head of the
commercial organization of the town
becomes a matter of vast Importance
to the town.
The Herald is almost tempted to
risk an opinion as to why Mr.. Hearne
has offered his resignation at this
time, though it has never heard Mr..
Hearne complain, and has never heard
him mention the matter. But If this
paper had its guess as to his private
motive for retiring at this time, II
would say that II was because of the
attitude of the people toward the
State railroad proposition. Mr.. Hearne
took hold of this matter, and with de-
termination and energy has worked |
at the problem Of how to raise the |
bonus to secure the road. He has Civ |
en- his own time literally. and, more |
than that, he has given of his private |
means, but with all of his work, with J
all of his arguing, and with all of his
time, he has failed so far to get the
people TO see the Importance of the
matter, and the proposition is still |
pending. Even the right of way has
not been secured because people are
so shortsighted as not to see the i'm
portance of this road.
And here is the plain truth of the
situation: Palestine possibly can af.
ford TO lose the new railroad and live
over it, go ahead and be a pretty good
town, anyway; and the Herald very
much doubts this But il cannot lei

TISSUE OF LIES, SAYS TAFl
Secretary Denies Stories Re
garding Canal Affairs.

Washington, June 2S.-"It Is tissue
of falsehood," said Secretary Taft
when his attention was called to the
reports of dissatisfaction on the part
of the administration of the manage
ment of Affairs under the isthmian ca
nal commission and the intention of
the officials engaged In that work to
relinquish 1t and return to the United
States. The secretary was very en-
phatic In his declaration that he had
not received a single Communication
from Colonel Goethals showing in any
way that he was dissatisfied or de-
sired to end his connection with the
work.
No immediate change Is contem-
plated In the administration of affairs
on the isthmus," continued the secre-
tary, "and there has not been a single
kick Of any sort. There Is no truth in
the story of the army officers asking
for leaves Of absence to return to the
United States"

Plant Food Not stimuIants.

Many farmers regard the plant food
In stable manure as the only kind Of
real plant food they can use. while
they regard commercial fertilizers as
stimulants instead or plant food. This
conception is wrong. Commercial fer
filters contain real plant food, and
their nitrogen. phosphoric acid and pot
ash do the same work In plant nutri-
ton that Is done by the same constit-
uents in stable manure. This wrong
idea has probably come from the mis-
use OF commercial fertilizers. when
proper tillage, soil, humus and other
essentials were neglected.
The use of commercial fertilizers win
not Internationally insure an increase
of crop. As previously pointed out,
physical conditions Of soil, tillage. eli
matte conditions-all must be taken
into consideration.
The application of commercial fer
tilizers cannot take the place of thor
ough tillage of crops.-Dr. Van Slyke

Japan now threatens to boycott
all American goods in order to get
even for the San Francisco troubles.
If this course is pursued Japan will
be the loser. 1t will be like the
poor ignorant Germans who voted
an almost exclusive tax on American
meat products few years ago.
The election in Germany hinged on
the American meat question this
year because the scarcity Of meat in
that country made the prices so high
that the poor people were practically
compelled to go without New laws
will now be enacted in the German
empire and the duties reduced.
Japan has got to live and about the
only country that has a superabund
ance of food products is the United
States, and it is here that the little
fellows will have to come for their
food whether they want to or not.

IN OREGON.
Important Points to Observe In the
Care Of Cows.

important Points to Observe In the
Care OF Cows.
The great future of the buttermaking
Industry in Oregon depends upon the
quality of the product. Quality ana
not quantity" must be the motto OF
every dairyman and creameryman. I'D
order to make butter of the highest
quality the dairymen and creamerymen
must work in harmony. They have
common interest. The dairyman can
not expect a high price for his butter
fat il his cream is poor. Butter mace
from inferior cream cannot get the
highest market price.
Must Begin on the Farm.
In order To secure better butter we
must begin on the farm. The stables
IN which the cows are kept must DE
clean and supplied with an abundance
of fresh air. The floor must be clean,
and an occasional bit of lime or gyp-
sum should he thrown upon il to de-
stroy the odors. The cows udders
must be washed before milking. This
is the starting point Of most OF the
trouble with cream. The mixer sits
down with pail open at the top. Any
dust. straw or manure that may be
hanging TO the udder Is gradually work
ell off and,finds its way into the pail.
Every particle OF such dirt carries with
II quota of germ life. While the
dairyman milks he unconsciously sows
the seed of destruction in the very
product he is going to market. The
destruction begins at once and Is car
ried on rapidly so long as the proper
temperatures are maintained.
The Remedy.
The remedy naturally suggests itself.
Stop the dirt from getting into the
milk. IL the mixer will carry with
him a damp cloth and carefully wipe
of the udder and the parts immediate
~ around II the trouble will be pre-
vented to great extent. This work
will require but few moments of ex-
ira time and would prevent much after
trouble in the way of sour or i'll fla
vored cream. The COW should be milk
ed In a place in which tie air is free
from dust When the cows are kept In
the stable never feed or move hay or
clean ont the place or do anything to
stir up dust or strong smells just be-
fore milking.-J. w. Bailey, oregon

RECORDED BY SEISM0GRAPH
Earthquake OF Greater Severity Than
That at Kingston.

Washington, July 1.-THe coast and
geodetic survey service reports that
an earthquake was recorded at the
Cheltenham (Md) observatory begin
ming at S:14 a. m. and lasting one
hour. The principal disturbance was
from s:22 to S:25 O'Clock, the largest
motion being In north-south direc-
ton. The shock was comparatively
greater than that at Kingston, but not
so great as the San Francisco earth
quake.
From the general details of the rec
ord the weather bureau officials are
led to conclude that the disturbance
may have been south of Washington
and at a distance of from 1900 to
1000 miles.
