Reporting the Thompson Trial.

AS illustrating progress in court
methods, the Thompson case now on at
Tacoms, shows how the recording and
transcription OF the testimony is sim.
plified and expedited, by means largely
of that wonder of human discovery
the photograph. 1t is estimated that
the record comprises 100000 words,
which were taken by the Graham system
Of short. hand at the rate of 200 words
minute, at times, and easily reaches,
on an average, from 10000 to 1900
word. an hour. Then, TO place this
mass of notes into typewriter copy,
Mr.. Palmer used the phonograph, on
which he reads from his notes and the
cylinders are handed to two expert
type. writer's, who clatter it off on the
keys at a wonderful rate. They make
five copies at time, by use of carbon
paper, two of which are for the State,
two for the defense and one for tine
strenographer. BY this aid of two
operators Mr.. Palmer has thus been
able to turn over sixteen pages OF type
written copy, running 80 lines to a
page, in 25 minutes.
The immense saving in time Of the
court is apparent, as well as the abso'
lutte correctness OF the record, which
has to 60 through four stages before it
becomes the permanent history OF the
case-first, in court; second, dictation
by phonograph; third. transcription
on type.writers, and fourth, revision
for errors. The record in the Thomp.

A Few Words About Poultry

At this time, when the poultry in.
terest is uppermost in popular consid-
Grafton, it may be we'll to ponder over
a late statement. by government au.
thority, that the earnings from that
product are more than half q billion
dollars, each year, over and above the
home supply of the farmer. Eggs are
becoming of more general use as a
substitute for high-priced meats, and
are entering more generally in the
everyday food OF the people. 1t is
estimated that enough eggs are han
died in this country annually to re.
quire q trsin of refrigerator cars 900
miles long, filled with 100000
crates, each holding 800 eggs, to carry
them safely to market. Let these
facts be borne in mind, and every
body who gives his attention to chick.
ems be prepared to make next years
exhibit larger and better than the
exceedingly creditable one just held
in this city. Let this be done as
q business investment, as we'll as
preparation for the exhibit at the
big fair in 1909. Introduce the best
breeds and give the "birds" that atten-
ton which ensures the best results.
Aside from pride in the matter, there
is no industry on the farm that will
pay better for the time bestowed upon
it. Well cared for, hen will lay from
twelve to sixteen dozen eggs q year,
aggregating in value at 20 cents per
dozen, the lowest price ever attained
in this country. and amounting to
from $40 TO $500 per annum, while
the cost of her keeping in the best
manner. with clean, warm quarters and
ample food, does not exceed ST. per
year.
In this connection it may be we'll to
state that an experienced poultry.
raiser in this county, Mr.. August Wise,
has experimental upon the feasibil-
ity Of production Of eggs in winter,
at time when the price is highest.
He Gays that hens can be forced to
pass the moulting season in the latter
part of August by simply placing them
on sparse rations the first weeks Of
that month, allowing them to subsist
couple of weeks on what they can
gather from the ground in insect life
and heritage. They will then be able
to begin laying in October, and proba-
bly, continue all winter. His expert.
mental tests have invariably resulted
in success, and the plan is certainly
worthy OF trial. Eggs, the past month,
have commanded from IS to 40 cents
per dozen, and for . few days even
higher prices have prevailed for strict.
ly fresh eggs.

One PHASE OF THAT VExED CUES
TIoN-EoUABLE MISUNDERSTANDING
General John d. Atkinson has issued
his first biennial report, 1867, which
makes a printed volume of 466 pages,
including the index. On page 1886, is
noted the term credits. as used in the
Revenue law of 1897, and is broad
enough to include moneys on deposit,
from which debts may be deducted on
the part of the taxpayer. At the late
session Of the Assessors of various
counties in this State, held in Olyn-
pia, the Commission recommended
that the law taxing moneys and bank
deposits be repealed. citing the case Of
Walla Walla county, which last year
returned q greater amount OF money
than King county, urging that as the
law now stands, it is simply tax on
ignorance and honesty, and there is
no way OF assessing money on an
equitable and just basis in this or any
other State. The STANDARDS advice
has been given. on diverse occasions,
that If the rate Of taxation were lower
there will be less inducements TO de.
fraud.
