 There is no hope of tariff revision at the present session of congress, ot course. but 1t is good party policy and good national policy for the minority to force discussion of this question. The country wants to know just where the Republicans in congress stand with reference to revision. This information is especially sought by progressive Republicans in all the States. The next election will depend largely on the attitude of the Republican convention and it's nominees for President on the tariff question. And the attitude of congress, if 1t can be forced by the Democrats, will also have an important bearing.

 It is widely believed, for example that playing the oboe makes man dangerous The peculiar tone ot the nstrument--which sounds like the bleating of a sheep dying of sciatica-- is blamed for this. and there are many chicken hearted addlers who will have nothing to do with obve players, nor with any other performers whose places in the orchestra are near ,E,oo4s oae wind to form of social ostracism Which wfIic is as painful as it is senseless.

I'VE recently shipped $40 head to

but this about cleaned out all the
available animals in the three states.
Uncle Sam will now have to look to
Australia to replenish his stock in the

Disease exterminates horses on the
islands and keeps the government
constantly in the market. A fly at

break out all over the victims bodies.
No remedy has proven Of value yet,
and when horse has broken out with

Mr.. Parker has personally superin-
tended the shipment of thousands Of
horses to Manila the past nine years,
or since the Spanish war broke out.
He has made four trips across the Pa

shows that have ever been brought to
the city.
I'VE are In a position to assure
this" said Mr.. Seeley,. "as a combina-
ton has been effected between Spo-
kane, North Yakima, WalIa Walla and
Lewiston to sign with the same car

gether to bring the best available COM

Charleston Gardeners Lose
Heavily on All Early
Truck Crops


CHARLESTON, Wash. May 21.-
Damage to the extent of several thou
sand dollars was done in the Charleston
and vineland countries by the violent
hail storm, which lasted but FIVE min
utes yesterday afternoon. with the
air calm. damp and murky rain COM
menced falling about o'clock and
then, without the slightest warning.
hailstones as large as marbles began
to drop. The stones were conical in
shape and averaged about five-eights
of an inch in diameter at the base.
The young gardens and melon fields
in the fiat were stripped.
b. Hyde & Co., the largest garden
ers of Vineland, report a damage ag-
gregating $500 to their lettuce, beans
and melons. The Hyde gardens have
for years been famous in the Mon
tana country for the early shipments
of green stuffs Because of the freeze
and later hal storms, it is feared little
produce will this season be marketable
until later in the season.
Strawberry plants were injured to
little extent. Reports from the fiat to
the north and. west state that no par
ticular damage was done The storm
was apparently most heavy in the
southern portion of the orchard tracts.
This is the first time in the history of
Charleston that storm of such nature
has struck the town.
Refuse to Grant Salary Due.
After complying with a recent de-
cision of the supreme court regarding
the illegality of the appointments by

and declaring all action taken by them
in the destruction of trees and small
fruit plants infected with pests as IL
legal the county commissioners now
refuse to grant the salary due to Dep
uty Fruit Inspector George w. Fer
guson, they taking the stand. that the
decision will make the payment Of the
$3.50 due Illegal.
Fruit Inspector Ferguson states that
he has complied with the law until the
decision and that the salary due him
was legally earned before the time the
decision went into effect. He further
states that he win take up the matter
personally with the commissioners and
in case they refuse to recognize hts
plea, win take It to higher courts to
test laws which deprived an employee
of the state Of wages lawfully earned.
