II Wasted Sop.

The Weiser American does not believe that the
effort made by the Jack-Mormon statesmen TO nflu-
ence the court will produce the intended effect;
Some persons are curious enough to wonder why
the Mormon democrats left the office of justice OF the
sunreme court blank on their ticket Either the port
ly Perky, the dignihed Nugent, the youthful Paine
the Pence the slippery Martin are supposed 10 DE
qualified TO fill the position. Why not one OF
them nominated? We don't beve the sop they threw
to Judge Ailshie whose successor is to be elected
this year. by leaving the place vacant in their ticker
will have any effect on the supreme court when 1t is
called upon to decide the legality of the two demo
cratic tickets The anti-Mormon democrats have the
law and precedent in their favor, and the other
fellows we'll know it. but they are trying to run Dig

n Dry Farm Harvest.

The American Falls Press gives the results of the
seasons work upon an extensive farm in the neigh
borhood of American Falls that is known the Dry
Farm" The season has been fairly productive but
there were apparently mistakes made that may
be avoided in the light of experience The Press
says:
Harvesting, threshing and seeding have been under
way at the same time on the Dry Farm this week
Two headers two seeders and thresher are in
oneration, employing about fifty teams and thirty
men. Harvesting have been in progress nearly two
weeks but seeding began Monday There are about

That ALASKA Wheat.

The story of Idaho's wonderful wheat has travelled
far and wide and inquiries coming in from every
quarter for the wheat promises great returns to the
producer if it sustains its marvellous reputation.
The Idaho experiment station at Moscow has had
something to say the subject and it is being del
uged with enquiries from practical men. So much
that it hasens to explain and in its explanation it
shows that it has been misrepresented in its many
particulars
The Portland Oregonian reproduces the recent ut
terances of the officials of the experiment station,
saying:
So many inquiries about the ALASKA wheat" fable
have come to the Idaho experiment station since the
station chemist ]. S. Joues, announced recently:
Judging from the chemical and physical condition
of the sample ALASKA wheat), it would rank with
the best grade of b1uestem for flour-making pur-
poses," that the station Director H. t. French and
the station chemist Mr. Jones, each has issued
printed letter declaring that the alleged merit of the
wheat has not yet been proved. The letters, each
dated Moscow, Idaho one Aug 10, the other August
IS, as follows:
The experiment station is being overwhelmed
with communications regarding the socalled alaska
wheat, claimed to have been originated by Mr..
Adams, of Juliaetta and advertised under the firm
of Adams -Hobe Seed Grain company, Julia
etta Idaho
The statement has been published that the Idaho
experiment station is in way connected with the
development of this wheat, as shown by the fol-
lowing clipping, which has been extensively copied:
"The United States paid eighty millions of money
tor Alaska, and yet the great gold payment Alaska
has returned sinks into insignihcance when COM
pared with Farmer Adams Alaska wheat which in
the secret and far away fields of Idaho he has grad
ualy brought to perfection until he has given to the
world wheat that will grow under average con-
ditions 200 bushels to the acre.
This is a large assertion and hardly belevable
were it not for the fact that it is backed up by sur
veys of land and output of threshers and the yield
and quality backed up by the Idaho experimental sta
ton at Moscow IDAHO and being followed up by
other stations. all eager to make test to see II
they can beat the yield of the originator"

GRILLS THE RAILROADS.
Governor Guild Outspoken In Purpose
TO Emancipate State From Rail-
road Domination.

Boston. Jan. 2.-Hostility to the
present railroad conditions in Massa-
chusetts was expressed by Governor
Curtis Guild in his annual address to
the legislature today.
He was outspoken in his purpose
to signallze his third term by eman-
cipating the state from the domina-
tion of transportation interests, all
located outside the boundaries.
He said: Loading up the rail-
roads with heavy permanent fixed
charges as the result Of long leases
has been. as unfortunate for the pub
lie as the roads. One condition at all
events has been forged in any propos-
ed consolidation: Stringent perma-
nent provisions should be made
against the control of any New Eng
land railroad by any corporation with
an Atlantic terminal for east-bound
freight anywhere outside of New Eng
land.

COLUMBIA BASIN FARMING.
Agricultural Department Issues Bulle-
tin on Dry Farming.

The United States department Of
agriculture recently issued a bulletin
that should be in the hands of every
wheatgrower in the inland empire.
The author of the bulletin. Byron
Hunter, made a study of farm meth
ods Of tillage throughout the country
to ascertain just what is being done
by the best farmers in different parts
of the country.
The bulletin discusses the methods
and merits of some five or six systems
of summer following that are prae-
ticed in different parts of eastern
Washington and eastern Oregon. It
also discusses methods of tillage used
in planting spring crops. In short.
this bulletin deals with dry land
farming in the Columbia basin.
This publication is Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 294. It's title is Farm Prac-
tice in the Columbia Basin Uplands."
1t is sent free to all who ask for it.

NOR.
Washington, Jan. 2.-Miss Ethel
Roosevelt, now the young lady of the
White House." will be given a ball to-
morrow night by her father and
mother, and the members of Wash
ington's younger social set are await
ing the function with the greatest of
impatience. AS a matter of fact, the
ball will be Miss Ethel's informal
coming out party and will mark her
debut in the fashionable society of
the national capital.
Dame Rumor has taken advantage
OF the occasion to roll under her
tongue many juicy morsels OF gossip
concerning the presidents daughter,
and her alleged love affairs, and
many OF the old DANES aides are cir
culating stories to the effect that
there will be another wedding in the
White House before President Roose-
velt leaves.
Charles Glover son of bank pres
ident, is most often mentioned as the
leading suitor for the hand and heart
of the fair Miss Ethel, although other
wise ones insist that Captain Mccoy.
one of the presidents military aides.
Is in the lead in this contest of the
Lockinvars. The latter is said to be
a favorlte with Mr.. Roosevelt, who
would welcome him as son-in-law.

MARKET DAYS
SEEM ASSURED.
BUSINESS MEN SUBSCRIBE
WELL TO THE FUND.
lrSSh. Gillen and Small Are Working
Energetically TO Establish Regular
Market Days in This City-Fund
With Which TO Bear Expense Of
First sale, After Which They VIII
BE Self-suppOrting.

That the Market Day. system will
be adopted by Pendleton seems now
assured. as Irysh Gillen and Small.
the promoters who are now working
the matter up are meeting with a
hearty response from business men.
A subscription is being raised with
which to bear the expense of the first
market day, and the business firms
are giving the promoters every en-
couragement After thS. first market
Is held and the matter is well adver-
tised it is hoped to make the markets
self-supporting and thereafter the
people who offer stock for sale will
contribute percentage of the prices
to the auctioneer.
On the first market day it is the
intention of the business men of the
city to employ the auctioneer and to
pay his expenses out OF a public sub
scription, in order to get the markets
started and to prove the benefits OF
the system. After the system is once
adopted and the sales advertised, it is
believed that buyers will come here
from every part of the northwest and
the people of the country will have
the benefits OF a regular fixed sales
day on which to dispose of their stock
and other property which may be for
sale.
In other places the market days
are highly successful and large crowds
attend them from all parts of the
surrounding country Buyers of live
stock, grain and other products make
a regular business of attending the
sales and the city is visited regularly
by prominent dealers.
That Pendleton could build a most
successful system of market days is
believed by all who have given the
matter any thought. The city is To-
Gated in the heart of a rich agricultu-
raj and stock growing section and it
is believed that the farmers would
largely patronize such market days.
That Pendleton business men are
willing to help establish such a pub
lie convenience for the producers of
the county is shown by the fact that
they are contributing literally to the
fund with which to start the sales
off and prove the benefits of the sys-
TEN.
