question being asked Is whether the
Chamber will decide Il is the best
policy To use slio0 Tor this pur.
pose.
There Is no question but what the
advertising would bring some good
results. but would IL not bc better To
get this money appropriated for use
in arranging a grand exhibit OF the
klamath products at Seattle? Mon
ey is not going To be over plentiful
this year and what can be raised
should be expended only after care
ful consideration. and then In the
way that will bring the largest re-
turns. II the funds used for adyer-
tising are distributed among too
many propositions, 1t will be almost
like throwing the money away.
klamath county should make a
showing at the Seattle fair that will
not only compare favorably with 9th
er Coast exhibits. but will surpass
anything there. and attract the at
tention OF the entire United States.
II we cannot do this Il would be bet
ter to give up the Idea entirely.
The proper advertising OF this Sec
tion Is a matter Of vital Importance
to every land owner In the county.
and after the grand showing made
at Sacramento. there Is no question
but what the Chamber OF Commerce
would have the support Of every
farmer In the county In making
big showing OF products at Seattle.

A woman, carrying a small dog in

Post, and earnestly besought the con-
ductor to tell her when they reached

she glanced appealingly at the other
passengers. At the next stop she half

At 5Oth street she stumbled forward

he repeated.
At last, looking pointedly at her, he
shouted loudly, "Forty-second street

Cotton Seed.

From what q half century ago were
worse than rubbish heaps, more than a
million dollars a week now come. The
story of this find reads like ro-
nance.
Before the war the disposal of cotton
seed gave the ginners great concern.
1t was usually hauled away somewhere
to rot, or dumped into q neighboring
stream, where it soon became nui-
sance. The old laws of Mississippi
and other States provided severe pen
alties for ginners who did not dis
pose of it in such a way that it would
not be a menace to public health.
To-day the uses OF cotton seed are
so numerous that the census office has
published diagram showing the
courses which the four parts of each
little seed may take. These are classi-
fled as waste" 'linters," "hulls" and
meats" The waste is still waste
even though that characterization OF
anything now leads a fugitive exist.
ence
The linters ere used In cotton bat
ting. The bulls may go in three direc-
tions-into fuel, the ashes of which are
used as a fertilizer, although this Ii
now regarded as too wasteful; into
fiber, of which paper is made; or, com
bined with cottonseed meal, into an ex
cellent food for cattle.
But the kernels serve the most varied
uses. Besides making cake and meal
for cattle, they are readily convertible
into q crude oil, from which, accord
ing to mixtures and processes, 1t may
emerge as oil for miners lamps, 'com
pound lard" and cottolene, butter and
salad oils" winter yellow oil'' and
soap. The invasion of other industries
by these cottonseed products would OF
itself make long story. The olive or
chards of Southern France have sui
fered much.

An old lady in New Hampshire de-

Boston Herald.

"You are losing your faculties. You
can't see. If this man was on the
other side of the street you couldn't
tell him from anyone else"
The old lady said she was going to
marry him. ''Now. Wen put the man
on top Of the barn, and you shall stand
in the kitchen door. If you can see
him on the barn you shall marry him.
The prospective bridegroom sat or
the ridgepole of the barn, the old lady
came To the door, looked, shaded heI
eyes and looked again.

"Oh, yes" was the reply. Il can Sc,

Advantage of Underdrainage.


In Farmers Bulletin No. 1871, United
States Department of Agriculture, c.
g. Elliott gives an interesting resume
of the advantages of removing water
downward through the soil instead of
allowing it to run off over the surface
They may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:
The surface soil is retained entire
instead of the finest and most fertile
parts being carried off with every con-
siderable rainfall.
Any plant food in manure or other
| fertilizer deposited upon the soil is
| carried into it with the water as il
percolates downward from the surface,
with the soil.
Rainwater as it passes through the
soil serves a most useful purpose by
dissolving and preparing crude soil ma
| terial for the nutrition of plants.
The soil having been well prepared,
is at all times during the growing sea
son in readiness for the growth of
plants, such growth not being hindered
by stagnalt water or saturation.
The frost goes out earlier in the
| spring, SD that the planting season
opens one or two weeks earlier than
| i'm the case of soils affected by surface
| drains only.
Where stiff clays are found the soil
| Is made more porous, open and friable,
and roots penetrate more deeply than
they do into surface drained soils.
The effects of drought are dimin-
ished, as has been found by experience.
owing to the enlarged and deepened soil
bed, and to the more favorable condi-
ton of the surface for preventing ex-
| ccssive evaporation of moisture.
1t aids in making new soil out of the
unTrepared elements, since it permits
a freeI entrance of air and atmosphsr-
ic heat, which dsintegrate soil material
hitherto unavailable for use of plants
Stubborn and refractory soils, when
drained, are frequently so changed in
texture and mechanical structure that
| they become easily managed and re-
spond to cultivation with abundant
| crops.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1908-01-09

railway service was not established IN
til about 1850. In the absence of the
telegraph and the lack of any estab-
lished system of signaling the early
railroads adopted novel methods for
conveying information.
The New Castle and Frcnchtown
railroad had Il primitive telegraph in
operation as early as 1881 A descrip-
ton of it says that 1.-The poles were of
cedar. quite like those now in use. and
had cleats fastened on them, forming a
sort of Jacobs ladder
The operator would go to the top
of the pole forming his station and
with his spy-gass sight the next sta
ton in the direction of the approach
ing train. If the train was coming
and the signal showed a flag. it meant
that all was well. and the operator
would pass the signal along to the next
station below.
If ball was shown, and no train
in sight, it signified an accident or n
delay of the connecting steamboat.
These signals were methodically ex-
changed until an understanding was
had all along the road
The facilities furnished by the rail-
roads were at first much more fully
appreciated by travellers than by The
shippers of freight. The speed Of the
trains. amounting at times to as much
as twenty-five or thirty miles an hour,
was q source of undated wonder to
the passengers. who had hitherto tray-
eled on the slowly moving canal boats
and stage coaches
In the matter of freight traffic the
railroads were ut first unable to COM
pete with the canals. OF prominent
Massachusetts railroad it is said that
a motion was made at an annual meet
ing to let the privilege of carrying
freight on its lines TO some responsible
person for $500 a year
There are many accounts of the pitt
full state of impecuniosity to which
some of the railroads were reduced
Cash being exhausted. and receivers
certificates having not been invented
when o,R'ations proved Improbable
there was no basis for credit
Men were sometimes put on the ten
der with a sawhorse and saw. and
when the engine ram out of wood these
men would take up their saw and cut
up new supply of fuel from the near
est woods. Often the passengers would
get off the train and help in the cutting
Of the wood.
The railroads were often too poor
to pay for the fuel thus secured. and
there are many stories in the old news

crews and the farmers who caught
