on one side and the sub soil on the
other, then stand in the pit and with
one and one-half inch auger bore to
the centre of the stump, so that the
hole will incline upwards very little,
and be as near the line OF the ground
as possible. Now put a board across
pit to stand on and bore another hole,
starting about foot directly above
the first hole and directed SO that the
two holes shall meet at the centre OF
stump. Have two pieces Of one inch
pipe about eight feet long heating in
a fire and when the second hole is
uored put one of the red hot pipes in
the top hole. See that the pipe is open,
as it acts as fue. Now take water
and mix your subsoil to stiff mud
and with a trowel plaster thick coat
over the stump top and all except the
the augur holes, put the mud ON at
least two inches thick. Keep red
hot iron in the top hole by changing
irons, and in 20 minutes your stump
will be blazing inside, then watch your
plaster coat and plaster fresh mud on
any cracks that may appear, and 1t
will burn out, or if you have mar
ket for charcoal, by allowing it to
burn for 10 or IL hours and then regu-
lating the draught by choosing or partly
closing one of the holes, the stump
and all the roots can be made into a
good grade of charcoal.
This plan has many advantages, not
the least of which is the fact that the
charcoal will sell for enough to more
than pay for the labor, thus making
it possible to clear many acres which
are at present unproductive.
Should this escape the waste basket

On motion of Mr.. Barth, of Seattle,
committee was appointed to present
constitution now in secretary's hands
with such changes as they deemed
best. Mr.. Matthews, J. Edgar Barth
and Prof. w. H. Lawrence were ap-
pointed. After a short recess they re-

mental purposes. Mr.. Musgrove, OF
Snohomish County, thought Western
washington the gem of the Union, and
hoped all counties would have equal
consideration. Mr.. Mist urged a prop
ositior for general legislation permit
ting organization by districts for this
work, and thought this covered the
ground Mr.. G. A. Barron, OF Sno-
homish agreed with Mr.. Mist, and cited
the arid-land law as precedent. Pres
ident Shoemaker referred to the re-
volving fund of the Reclamation law,
and. to the plan operated for dyk1ng
purposes. Mr.. Matthews thought the
association work should be educative
rather than actual clearing, and that
legislation should be along permissive
lines for organization for the practical
work. On motion, the subject was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
Mr.. Phelps explained his New Era
land clearing outfit. He has revised
the outline presented in The Ranch
of August Is, and thinks it need not
weigh more than 1000 pounds.
Mr.. G.. Estby, of Sylvana, Snohomish
County, though the association should
clear lands, but not buy them. Prof.
Benson suggested that the work of
the association should be: 1, Educa-
tive; 2,Agitative that the logged-off
lands of Western Washington should
be quickly cleared of rubbish; 8, IL
Illustrative by experiments. The funds
of Western Washington experiment
station should be increased for this
purpose.
Mr.. Stevens, of Maltby, Snohomish
County, thought he brush should be
removed and the land seeded down.
Seeds should be better inspected.

CONSTITUTION ADOPTED ORGANIZATION COMPLETED

Prof. Lawrence agreed, and cited a
case where Angora goats had been used
in clearing the ground, which still
showed the good effects of their work.
He also referred to dairying and or
charding among the stumps, and to
the clearing of 13 acres of heavy
growth stumps on first shelf land that
had cost $1,000. Could now do the
work at less cost.
The meeting then adjourned and
several signed the constitution. This
gives the state an association for
working out valuable results in those
land-clearing operations that will null

making of a contented and prosperous
people.

Butter Thieves Sentenced.

Melvin Bates and F. w. Kellogg of
Durand, the former house mover, the
latter blacksmith, brought 100 pounds
of butter to Owosso, Friday, and sold it
to Rundell Bros. claiming to be farmers
living near New Lothrop 1t was soon
noticed that the butter was creamery
made and payment on the checks given
the men was stopped, but they got them
cashed at a saloon. Chief of Police
Hodges arrested them on suspicion and
by telephoning found out who they
were and decided the butter was stolen
from railroad company. After some
investigation it was found that the
Grand Trunk was the loser and the
men were taken to Dsrand and sentenc-
ed to 65 days in the county Jail. There
they "squealed" and John Lumley was
also arrested and will probably be given
a sentence as the others claim he broke
the seal on freight car.

Died In His Office,

a resident of this city, was found
dead on the floor of his office, over
T. o. Christians jewelry store, North
Washington street, at eight o'clock
Thursday morning by Mail Carrier
Charles McGilvra. An inquest will
be held.
Mr.. Loring was evidently stricken
Wednesday evening, as the electric
light was burning over his desk near
the front window, and some stamped
and sealed letters showed that he had
been taking care of his correspon-
dence. The body was rigid, indicat-
ing that several hours had elapsed
from the time Of death
From appearances, heart trouble
was the cause of death, and when
he felt the pain of approaching dis
solution, he evidently attempted to
get to the door, which was unlocked,
to call for help, and fell towards hs
chair again. The body was lying on
the right side, fully dressed.
Mr.. Loring had recently returned
from st. Louis, where he had been
for some days, taking bathes. He
had been in feeble health on account
of rheumatism in his back, neck and
legs, for some time, though able to
be out and attend to business. He
declared, since coming home, that he
had felt better than for several years.

Flag Day Observed.

Owosso Lodge B. p. O. Elks attended
services at the Congregational church
Sunday morning, about $50 members
marching from the temple to the
church and many other members occu-
pying their usual seats in the church.
The sermon by Rev. G.. H. Hanks was
most excellent for the occasion and
highly appreciated by the large con-
gregation. 1t was founded on the
duties of American citizenship, it's re.
sponsibilities and privileges. Love of
country, he stated, does not mean
prejudice against other countries, but
should be manifested in helping to cor.
rect errors, working for it's good,
fighting its battles and being patriotic
in its service at all times in the year
and under all conditions.
In the afternoon under the auspices
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, the Congregational church
was filled by patriotic men, women
and children for service in honor of
the American flag. Rev G. w.
Jennings called the meeting to order
and presided.
The G. A. R., w. r. c., Co. H., the
u. of A. r. and Dorcas children were
present in bodies. A message as to the
significance of the flag in the G. A. r.
was given by Rev. c. H. Hanks, and
