can be handled, with the result that
small chunk will be split off the
republican party and this much
strength added to the democratic
column.
But there Is enough margin between
the majority and the minority parties
in Oregon to lop off the crooked,
rotten branches from the party trunk
and still give the statement No. /
candidate the best Of II.
"A statement No. l candidate Is go
ing to be chosen, that's certain, and
the republican voters in Oregon are
going to prove that they have as high
regard for their party affiliation and
as deep a love for the right to let the
people choose their candidates as have
the democrats.
That also is certain. and to the man
who can get away from the idea that
being a good fellow means being a
good public servant and who can see
higher principle in this fight for
statement No. than mere sweetened
sound there can be but little doubt
that not only will the machine in the
republican party be smashed to very
small atoms, but the republican party,
the real, loyal, broad-minded, honest
republican voters en- masse, will see
to It that a statement No. l legisla-
ture chooses a statement No. 1 sena'

TO FIGHT WEED PESTS.
Yakima Farmers Organize Against
Pests.

HeSIS.
With the advent of spring comes the
ever present noxious weed. Farmers
of North Yakima have long been
troubled with all sorts of weeds, such
as water grass, China lettuce and
above all. the Russian thistle, says
the Yakima Herald. The latter has
made its appearance during the last
few years It has, however, gained
stronger hold on crops than am
Of the other weeds, it is stated.
Ranchers have made some individual
efforts to eliminate the pest, but thus
far have been unsuccessful.
1t is known that the Russian thistle
is not only one of the worst weeds to
contend with once it gets started, but
is also known to be disastrous to
crops, and in some states the thistle
has totally destroyed valuable grow
ing grain and hay.
tn thistle is not only found in the
rural districts but also along the
city streets It begins to grow early
in the spring and keeps on until fall
when the roots become rooted and the
pest is blown for miles over valuable
land, scattering its seed as it goes.
This gives it the name of tumble
weed"
Farmers Fight Pest I'm Body.
Farmers in the Ritzville and Walla
Walla countries have during the past
years formed an organization each
spring and fall to fight the pest,
which threatens to totally put to
flight their means of livelihood,
Ranchers living around Ritzville have
already started their spring crusade
against the weed. Despite their ef-
forts collectively the weed is fast
gaining ground and is causing no
small amount of anxiety.
The country around North Yakima
Is rapidly assuming the same appear
ance as the Ritzville and Walla Wal
la countries. Unless. something is
done, and that soon, the country
threatens to be overrun.
