THE sTEPToE MONUMENT
Why Not Dedicate Battle Ground 50th
Anniversary, Collecting More
Money for Monument?

The Steptoe battle was an historic
event, taking place so years ago this
coming May. 1t is the purpose to
erect monument on the spot where
the last stand was made with the In
dams, to be dedicated on this coming
5Oth anniversary. Several hundred
dollars have been raised, the people
of the Inland Empire responding lib
orally considering the brief time since
the Gazette would suggest, subject to
the approval of the society that orig
mated the idea and has carried it
forward, that a broader and more
comprehensive plan be adopted. 1t
is lnis: Instead of now erecting a
monument concentrating so impor-
tant an event, why not dedicate the
ground where the monument is to
stand (the citizens of Rosalia will do
nate the land) on this 50th anniver-
sary, postponing the erection Of the
monument for say two years, so that
large sum of money may be raised
and monument Of solidity and pro-
portions be erected that can be point
ed to with pride by all citizens of the
nation? The legislature of the state
of Washington and the congress of the
United States should be asked to as
sist in this matter, and no doubt
would do so if given the opportunity
1t will commemorate an historic
event, and therefore is matter OF
national interest. 1t should be erected
on scale to rank with the great
monuments of the nation. 1t should
be massive and heavy.
This is a matter for thoughtful con
sideration, one. which, we trust, will
be favorably acted upon.-Colfax Ga
Zette.

CLERGY
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ISSUES LETTER.
THEY WOULD CURB THE LIQUOR
HABIT BUT GIVES SOME
LEEWAY.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 12.-The Ma
it's president, T. M. Gilmore, has u.s.
sued an open letter to the clergymen
Of the United States. After explaining
that the object of the league is to have
uniform restrictive saloon license
adopted by all the states where prohi-
bition is not in force, the letter says:
We do not offer this law as substi-
tute for prohibition that is, it is not
intended to interfere with the passage
of prohibition laws If the people desire
them, but it is intended to bring about
obedience to law where the business Is
licensed
Prohibitory laws that are being
passed in this country merely prohibit
the manufacture and sale, and do not
prohibit the purchase and use, and
all thinking men know that where a
demand exists, it will be supplied from
some source if the profit justifies the
risk in supplying it. Witness the de-
velopment of the mail order business
and of the moonshine business, as
shown by the figures Of the internal
revenue department, the per capita
consumption of whisky having de-
creased with the spread of prohibition,
while the per capita consumption of
beer has largely increased.
If the anti-saloon league will agree
to it we will favor having an amend
ment to all prohibitory laws providing
heavy penalty for the purchase Of al.
eoholic beverages, or for having them
n possession in prohibitory territory
md this would mean prohibition.
But passage of laws will not prevent
he use of alcoholic beverages; thai
rs matter of education and evolution
Those interested in prohibition are
.aking the ground that the manufac
ure and distribution of alcoholic bev
erages are wrong per Sc. If this be
rue, then there is no question tina
he Almighty was wrong in commend
ng the use of wine to his chosen
PEOPLE" and Christ was wrong in max
ng wine at the foot of Galilee an(
e was wrong in selecting wine ant
| Jread to commemorate his death.
Now, if those interested in the effor
establish prohibition prove to thu
satisfaction of the American peopl
hat Christ did that which was wrong
hat Christ committed a sin and tina
christ set bad example to futur
generations, then we fear that the
will have succeeded, in SO far as tn
american people are concerned, in dc
,troying the very foundation of Chris
ian faith.
1t is a strange suggestion to com
from men connected with the whisk
ministry, but we consider it yer
business to those connected with tn
serious phase of this question, and on
that deserves the earnest thought {

Value of Cooperation.

Va1uo OF CO.OpeThthOMs
Sir Horace Plunkett, member Of the
British house of parliament, who has
been in this country recently, said In
an address to agricultural students
that there was mot single county,
not a parish, in Ireland where the
farmers are not completely revolution
izing the entire business Of farming by
introducing cooperative methods" And
it might be added that there is scarce
ly farming district in the United
States where more benefits canont be
realized by a closer cooperation Of the
farmers. The farmers are understand
ing each other better each year and
are coming closer together in oil mat
tiers which pertain to their mutual in
terests, but there are still greater posi-
bilities ahead. Describing the 900 CO.
operative organizations Of peasants In
Ireland which he was instrumental In
establishing for the purpose Of compe-
tition with commercial industries fore
ing out middlemen, compelling rail-
roads to provide better facilities, and
debating more favorable legislation to
parliament, done: "The first thing was
to introduce a system of agricultural
education which extended into every
branch Of the industry, teaching the
farmer, for instance, to purchase every
thing he requires, implements and ma
chinery, Of the very best quality. They
combined to consign in bulk and dis
tribute their goods in the market. They
combined to raise working capital fol
their operations. They combined tt
own breeding animals. They did JUS
what you are doing here, brought sci
ence into farming by getting 1t into thu
schools. They had the same system O.
instruction and experimentation sup

DENY BattIeship Charges.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The navy de-
partment's absolute refutation of the
Reuterdahl charges that American
battleships are seriously defective
went to the president recently. Rear
Admiral Converse, president Of the
board of construction, signed it. The
report may be summed up thus:
Heavy armor plate is not below water
line, but on it. Russo-Japanese naval
battles showed that high-placed guns
were ineffective. Space about the
turret guns is 10 square feet instead
of 10 feet square.

value of Beet Sugar Products.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
beet sugar industry in the United
States can be given by estimating the
value of the beets sold by the growers
to the factories and Of the refined
sugar placed on the market by the fac
tories last year.
If we assume that the average price
paid for beets in 1906 was s. per ton.
the total value of the 4,236, 112 tons of
beets harvested is $21 ,1SO, $50. If we
estimate the value Of the sugar Mt Az
cents per pound, the 967, 224,0 900 pounds
Of sugar manufactured were worth

prices both for beets and for sugar may
be a trife below those actually receiv-
ed, but these figures are sufficiently
accurate to indicate the magnitude Of

them in cool. dark place to ripen
slowly and sent them to market when
the supply had run low and prices run
high, says a writer in New England
Homestead. But for home use bet
ter way is to pick the smaller ones
from the vines and then hang up the
| branch in the cellar, darkening the
windows and keeping the place cool.
They will ripen slowly, and one may
indulge in ripe tomatoes In January,
when those grown in dollhouse and
not as large or any better flavor are
selling at 25 cents pound or more.

DON'T MuTILIATE THE ROOTS.
Careless Methods Will Reduce the
Amount Of the Yield.

In the cultivation of any farm CROP,
do not mutilate the roots. Careless
ness in this regard has caused the loss
of more ip the way of farm crops
than almost any other thing unless it
be weeds. Take note of how long
tree stands still in its growth after 1t
has been set out. That is because the
roots have been mutilated and are ma
king repairs before the growth of the
tree can be resumed
In the cultivation of field crop,
says the Farmers Review, the result
of destroying a part of the roots is not
so obvious, because the roots have not
been mutilated to the same degree
as in the case of the tree, and also
because the crop was growing so rap
idly that the result is only in les
sened speed of growth. But the result
is along the same line and exists even
If 1t be not so noticeable.
Yet the speed of growth counts for
great deal in the development of
crop, and nothing should be done that
will lessen that speed of development.
A loss of 5 to 10 per cent may be
caused and the farmer not suspect it.
because he has no standard by which
to judge 1t.
Before entering on the cultivation
of any fast-growing sron the farmer
should make cSretd estimate as 70
where the roots are likely to be in the
soil and avoid them. To leave the
roots unGisturbed is to leave them in
the very best condition for growing.

crust above them and let in the air,
which plays large part in the prepar-
alton of plant food.

OYSTER SHELL BARK LOUISE.
II Is Hard Pest to Fight, But Keep
at lt-Destroys Shade Trees.

The oyster shell bark louise Is a
hard customer. Last season two
neighbors called my attention to the
shade trees in front of their resi-
dences. They were seven black ash
trees of Is to 30 years growth. Three
trees were covered with the louise on
the trunk and out to the extreme end
of the branches. Many of the limbs
had died, and two trees had been cut
down two years previous, having been
killed by the scale.
These trees, explains the writer in
Farm and Home, / soon discovered,
needed radical treatment in order to
be saved in one season, so l decided
on one careful application Making
q kerosene emulsion of one to seven
strength, arming myself with scrub
brushes, ladder and saw, | started
to work as soon as the scales began
to lift, which was the first of June.
All limbs that were dead or quite sure
TO die were sawed out to be burned,
and the remainder, with the trunk,
were scrubbed with the emulsion until
all scales were rubbed off.
The work was out OF the ordinary
method for large trees, but had the
desired effect. They started at once
into new growth and now are in a
very promising condition. The own
ers were well satisfied to pay for the
work. The kerosene emulsion was
made of one gallon kerosene, two gal
Ions boiling water and half pound
soap, then agitated while hot for ten
minutes with foot pump. BY adding
five gallons water had sufficient
mixture to go over the seven trees
