Ten miles remain without rights OF

are in Judge McBride's court for Jury
trials. But demurers are fled in court
which must be disposed Of first by the
court before the jury trials take place.
This means next Spring (lo0o). Now
the question arises, are Astoria people
so anxious for the railroad to the Ne

the Pacific Ocean instead OF from the
Portland side that they will give the
P. 0. & S. Ry. Co. free rights of way
Tor the remaining 10 miles desired.

that these 10 miles il procured and
guaranteed by the Astoria people will
be obtained so that construction can
be commenced thereupon by October
this year, subject to the condition that
the deeds to these 10 miles are to be
taken to and in name OF the trustees

Marriage as a Failure.

There is more nonsense talked ir
the abstract about marriage as a fail
ure than is talked about any other
branch Of the conduct of life. If a
census on the subject could be taken !
am sure It would be found that the
majority of married people jog along
very comfortably and are much hap
pier in their united state than they
possibly could have been had they re-
mained unmarried. The number of di-
vorces is usually quoted to prove that
marriage is failure, but what, after
all, is the number Of divorces In pro-
portion to population of many mil

Has Memorized 10000 Dates

E. c. Laston, who has just issued a
challenge to the world for the memory
championship, although only young
man of % years, is veritable walking
encyclopedia, for he has memorized 40
600 dates of the principal events in the
worlds history, since the creation. 1t was
quite by accident that he discovered that
he had an exceptional gift of memory.
He was oeing trained as an army Off
Ger, when an attack Of rheumatic fever
dispelled his hopes in that direction. At
that time he happened to meet the Fan
Gigs in India, who, noticing what a re-
markable memory he had for dates, ad-
vised him to cultivate it. He then pur-
chased a copy of Haydn's Dictionary of
Dates" and sought to commit to mem
DRY the dates of the most important
events in the worlds history by writing
SO to 100 dates on a piece of paper, and
rewriting them three or four times until
he had fully grasped them, with the re-
suit that he has a repertoire of thousands
of dates, and can give the correct an

Origin of Hooligan.

The question as to the origin of the
term 'hooligan' reminds a correspondent
of an unwritten chapter in the history of
the metropolitan police, which tells how
hooliganism was stamped out in the Dor
ough. This, q retired inspector of police
informed the writer, was effected by the
simple means of drafting into the di-
vision every big Irish constable that
could be found in London. These natural
ly rejoiced in the change from peaceful
neighborhoods, where their talents were
thrown away, and so they hunted the
ness of heart reminiscent of Donnybrook
Fair. In consequence the borough was
very soon as safe place to walk
in as kensington or Piccadilly.-London

whiskey for Lame Back.

The increased use of whiskey for lame
back rheumatism is causing considera-
Bile discussion among the medical fra
ternity. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: "To one
half pint of good whiskey add one ounce
of Toris Compound and one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceuti-
cal Co., Chicago, but it as we'll as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.

To Kill Quack Grass.

Quack grass is sometimes known as
johnson grass, and also by other
names. 1t is useless to attempt to get
rid of it after the land has been plant
ed to crop. Now is good time to
consider fighting it. Plow the land late
in the fall, just before winter begins.
Plow just deep enough to get under the
roots, leaving as much of them as pos
sible exposed to the frost of winter.
These exposed roots will be destroyed.
In the spring harrow or rake over the
roots repeatedly, doing the work over
and over again until almost every root
is removed, and then plant the soil to
potatoes or corn and give thorough cul-
tivation.

xXUEhLUr WAATHER AND MAG
NIFICENT CROPS.

Reports from Western Canada Are
Very Encouraging.
A correspondent writes the Winni-
peg MANI Free Press: "The Pinch
er Greek District (Southern Alberta),
the original home Of fall wheat, where
it has been grown without failure, dry
seasons and wet, for about 25 years.
Is excelling itself this year. The yield
and quality are both phenomenal, as
has been the weather for It's harvest
ing. Forty bushels is a common yield,
and many fields go up to SO, 80 and
over, and most Of 1t No. 1 Northern.
Even last year, which was less favor
able, similar yields were in some cases
obtained, but owing to the season the
quality was not 30 good. 1t Is prob
ably safe to say that the average yield
from the Old Mans River to the boun-
Diary will be AZ or AZ bushels per
acre, and mostly No. l Northern. One
man has just made q net rSofit from
his crop of S19.55 per acre, or little
less than the selling price OF land.
Land here is too cheap at present,
when a crop or two will pay for 1t,
and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British
Columbia, for the abundant hay Of the
district, and poultry, pork and garden
truck. Coal is near and cheap. Jim
Hill has an eye on it's advantages, and
has invested here, and is bringing the

other lines will follow"

acres in addition to his 1e0 homestead
acres, at $500 an acre, and also how
to reach these lands into which rail-
ways are being extended. 1t might be
interesting to read what is said of that
country by the editor of the Marshall
(Minn.) News Messenger, who made
trip through portions Of 1t in July,
1908. Passing through more than
three thousand miles of Western Can
ada's agricultural lands, touring the
northern and southern farming belts
of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan and Alberta, with numerous
drives through the great grain fields,
we were made to realize noe only the
magnihcence of the crops, but the mag
n1tude, in measures, Of the vast terri
tory opening, and to be opened, to
farming immigration. There are hun
dreds Of thousands of farmers there
and millions of acres under cultivation,
but there is room for millions more

ers who went there from this state, it
was difficult to realize one was beyond

Handling AlfaIfa's Crop.

Methods of handling the alfalfa crop
from the time Of seeding until it is in
the barn in the form of weu-cured hay
are given by the Wisconsin Station bull
letin. In brief, it is as follows: The
best soil for alfalfa is a rich clay loan
over a gravelly subsoil. 1t Is best on
well-cultivated soils. If the nitrogen
forming bacteria are not in the SOIL
the soil should be inoculated. Spring
sowing is the best. Where ground is
inclined to be weedy use nurse crop,
barley sown at the rate of three packs
to the acre being the best. Thin seed
ing of the nurse crop is preferable
Twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre
is recommended. The year following
the seeding three good crops of hay can
be expected. Cut when about one-tenth
of plants are in bloom and on a morn
ing after the dew has disappeared on
a day that promises fair weather. Cut
stubble at least an inch high. In the
afternoon Of the day cut, rake and put
into small cocks. These cocks can be
covered with light cotton duck caps
and left until the hay is thoroughly
cured.

Found Struggled Goods.

Another seizure was made in New
York city IN the campaign to break up
what is believed to be systematic Snug
Cling by band of Italians. Armed with
search warrant Inspector Hyams went
to 81 Schneck avenue, Brooklyn. The
only person in the apartment was wom-
an who denied that the house contained
smCggled goods. The inspector tore up
the floor boards and found several thou
sand pairs of kid gloves, a good proper
ton of them being long or elbow gloves,
valued at 50 pair. The total value
of the find is believed to be about $10,-
900. The customs authorities believe
that S. Manzi, already under indictment
for smuggling, is connected with this
latest development. 1t was said that the
woman is already under indictment for
the smuggling.

BIRDS KILLED A SNAKE.
Contest in Which Reptile Had Small
Chance for His Life.

SuduSS 1Ol his Like.
Ed Neal and his sister, Miss Jessie
Neal Of Alma. tell a strange story and
vouch for the truth of it. They had been
spending the last month with their
father. Younger Neal, at their old home
in the country near Alma, and one day
last week they were out driving when
they saw in the road in front of them
a large snake of the kind known as the
coach whip.
Stopping the horse in order to kill the
snake, they discovered that pair of
mocking birds were flying at and strik-
ing the reptile with their beaks. first
from one side of the road and then from
the other. They watched the battle. as
they call it. for something like half an
hour. when the snake entirely ceased to
attempt to avoid the angry onslaughts
of the enraged songsters.
Ed Neal got out of the buggy and 60
ing to the scene Of conflict found that
the snakes head was almost severed
from its body. The neck just back of
the head was cut down to the skin on its
throat. and when he picked it I'D the
head fell down limp. The snake was
dead. 1t measured 515 feet, and seem
ingly had just swallowed a half-grown
rabbit. which was in the stomach undi-
gested.-Alma Cor. Forest and Stream.

Grasses Everywhere.

Grasses are widely distributed We
usually think Of them as existing in
our temperate zones only, because here
we have the perennial pastures and
meadows. They are, however, to be
found so far north that the soil is
frozen under them during the greater
part of the year, while they are also
common to parts Of the South where
the frost is never known Even the
mountain tops that are clothed with
perpetual snow have just below the
snow line their carpets Of poas that
grow and bloom through brief period
every year. The grasses push hard
against the eternal SHOWS.
