The democratic state central com.

Jennings Bryan for the presidency
OF the United States last week, after
an attempt had been made by q

The past month has required some

THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.

When the present proprietors took
hold of The Miner and announced
their future policy there were many
who shook their heads and said that
mining paper which dabbled In
politics would lose caste with the
mining fraternity and fail to make
friends with the political element.
The Miner, however, pursued the plan
laid down In its opening editorial.
Up to date there has been no COM
plant from the former subscribers on
the departure that was made. A
physician living In western Pennsyl-
vania wrote last week as follows:
Enclosed find two dollars. another
years subscription for The Wallace
Miner. take your paper to get the
mining news of the Occur d'Alenes
in general. Am glad your paper Is
republican as that alone almost en-
sures a true report of the district"
This note was all the more crafty
ing because no bill had been sent to
the subscriber in question.
That the paper Is no less popular
with its patrons than 1t was under
the former regime is shown by the
fact that a number of subscribers.
whose term OF subscription had not
expired. have RENTED in advance
for another year with caution in al
most every case, that we be careful
to see that they are not missed for
any issue.
1t Is the policy OF The Miner to
cndeavor to give only accurate &C.

ing the future prospects or present
other words to be fair
and just both to our outside SUBJ
scribers and to the district. We are
thoroughly convinced that In no way
could the future OF the Occur d.
Alenes be greater imperiled than by
he circulation OF false or exaggerat-
ID accounts of-1ts wealth In any To-
,ality or as generality. and every n
person who has Investigated thelI

TOO MUCH REST.

II one is to believe that the
Spokesman-Review is true organ Of
public sentiment in Spokane and the
state OF Washington, II would appear
that the Sunday Closing Law Is meet
Ing with anything but general public
commentator. In recent issue Of
the paper there Is a cartoon repre-
senting the law IN question as a sort

OF mongrel cat which is about to be
consigned to the waters OF oblivion
for good. the whole effect being label
ed, mot Yet, But Soon"
This cartoon probably sounds the
true chord of public feeling and OF a
sentiment that Is not altogether con-
fined to the Power City. The Spokes-
man-Review has already been ex-
tremely jealous in commencing the
enforcement Of the Sunday Closing
Law in Idaho In spite Of the fact that
similar law has been lying dormant
at home for years past. Now, how
ever, that this nonsensical measure
has been called into activity In Spo-
kane there has been a decided change
of tune and II one is to Judge by the
daily papers local sentiment has un-
dergone complete change.
1t il probable that the law in ques-
ton was passed by the Washington
LEGISLATORS under the belief that the
measure was for the best interests Of
the state and It was probably en-
dorsed at that time by many OF the
business men OF the state. However,
Just as In Idaho, few experiments
In its enforcement have been sum-
cient to indicate that while the theory
OF the measure might be all right
the practice was not quite all that
was expected.
The truth OF tho matter Is that
both In Spokane and In Idaho public
sentiment has changed completely.
and the business interests have been
forced to the realization that a COM
munity, in the west at least, Is just
as we'll OF without a Sunday Closing
Law at this time.
II the time is not yet ripe in Spo-
kane, city which prides itself on
the perfection Of Its civilization, how
much less necessary Is q law OF this
sort in the Occur d'Alenes, a district
whose very existence depends on sun
day labor.
The Law Enforcement League,
backed by a few OF the fanatical
pastors. has been organized in Spo-
kane apparently on something after
the same lines as the Spying Out
League formed by Rev. Charles Mac
Caughey OF Wallace. Both these or
ganizations have done their duty tc
certain extent inasmuch as they
AVE devoted profitable Sunday after
Moons to nosing around the different
saloons to see that no business was
done, but so far as we can see, neither
Of them have offered any solution Of
the problem as to what those Affect
ed by the closedown are to do on Sun
day afternoons. Up to the present
time non-residents in Wallace over
Sunday have been forced to seek such
shelter as can be given by two depots.
Rev. ]. C. Havnaer did indeed state
that he was willing that the Baptist
church should be thrown open for
these men, but the reverend gentle
man left the city, this little matter
probably having slipped from his
mind.
There Is evidently movement
afoot in Spokane to have the law re-
pealed forthwith and The Miner feels
confident that were petitions circulat-
ed In Wallace for the removal OF the
ban in this state they would meet
with the heartiest support. Many OF
the men who signed the petition for
the law have now realized its absurd
ity and not few of these have al
ready indicated their willingness to
aid in Its removal.

nation concerning the new theory OF
soil poisoning by successive crops
Following is the reply given to this
letter:
AT this station we have tested sew
eral different cultures, some of which
were successful, while others failed.
We have found that in the laboratory
and greenhouses, where conditions
could be controlled fairly we'll, the
cultures possessed valueJ. We are
not sure that their use will become
general, for most of the commercial
product does not show up very uni
formly We have depended more
largely on the use of inoculatcd soil
from old alfalfa fields. in getting a
stand of alfalfa, than on the bacteria.
Fertilizers have not been very
thoroughly tested in eastern Wash
ington, but we are learning that many
of our soils may be vastly improved
by certain treatments. The indica-
tions are that fertilizers will be used
in the near future, more as cor
rective agency, than to increase fertil-
ity. The theory of 'soil-p poisoning' is
based on the fact that where a soil
is overcharged with some element,
the excess Of this element becomes IN
furious to vegetation. 1t is necessary
, to counteract this by the use OF some
chemical fertilizer"

Cabbage Worms.

When the first appearance of the
worm is made the plants should be
busted with the paris green and flour
mixture. When the heads are forming
use one pound of pyrethum powder to
four pounds of -four to dust the plants.
This is harmless to man. After the
head begins forming paris green should
not be used. Those who are afraid
to use paris green are generally success
full by beginning early to use the py-
rethum powder and spraying often.
Cabbage and other plant lice are best
controlled by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, using the Is per cent solution
IA solution containing Is per cent of
Kerosene If the lice are on trees,
flowers or rose bushes, tobacco decoc-
tion may be used with good results.
The tobacco decoction is made by tax
ing three pounds of tobacco stems and
five gallons OF water and boiling for
two hours. 1t Is used without diluting,
but must not be applied too hot, or 1t
may scald the plants.
If treatment is begun in time plant
lice can be controlled. 1t must be done
before the leaves are curled so the
spray can reach the pests. There
should be several sprayings, four OF
five days apart, as one spraying will
not completely do the work. Clean cul,
ture is important in fighting these in
sects, as with many others.

Treatment for Loco.

The results Of the loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly fa-
miliar to the stockman of the plains
east of the Rocky mountains. 1t has
been estimated that the losses from
this source in Colorado alone have
reached the sum of million dollars
per annEa. The national bureau Of
plant industry has been taking turn
at the loco problem, and G. d. Marsh,
expert in poison plants, reports that
it has been found that locoed cattle
can in most cases be cured by course
of treatment with strychnine, while
ocoed horses can generally be cured
by a course of treatment with Fow-
er's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa-
tion which is almost universal among
locoed animals. 1t should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent as an antidote to
the poison.
1t may be added in regard to the
question of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in a slow and cumulative
manner, so that there is no possibility
of animals becoming immune.

Wasted Road Money.

In a recent speech at Peoria, Fl. H.
Gross, secretary of the Farmers Good
Road League and special agent for the
National Department of Agriculture to
study the question of highways, made
the following statement: "In forty
years enough money has been thrown
away and squandered on the dirt roads
of Illinois to pay for graveling or mac
adamizing every foot of highway in
the State" He went on further to
state that as good, hard roads could
be built on the black land in the corn
belt of Illinois as in Massachusetts, ur
in any other State, and at moderate
annual expense to the landowners of
the State, possibly not exceeding their
present annual tax for road and bridge
purposes.

The Pacing Horse.

we have known of many animals
that have acquired the habit of pacing
because Of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist In the
efforts Of propulsion, their Office is
simply to hold up or support the fore

as it must keep these fore feet out of
