that 1 tried three Companies fertili-

TIE SEASONS SNOWFALL. The
first snowfall of the first month of
1908 was, on the whole, unusually
light, ranging from the average of
former Januarys to much below. The
greatest deficiency in Snowfall, was
on the western slope of the Cascade
mountains, where in several localities
the total snowfall was less than one
half former seasons. Much of the
precipitation was in the form of rain,
thus packing the snow, therefore the
water content of thel tier was great,
but the total precipitation from both
rain and snow was not fully up to
the normal. On the Eastern slope
the deficiency was not so great. the
largest departure being about one.
third less than normal. In the Okan.
ogan highlands, there was in some 10.
calities a fair average snowfall. In
the Blue mountains, as nearly as may
judged from the small number of Off.
cial reports available, the snowfall
was an average one.

OTTO HUGO, a German Count, has
been held amenable for $1,000, O0C
fine, at Berlin, for selling foreign
lottery tickets, or it may be counted
by 1,461 years Imprisonment. The
court decided that 1875 and 100 days
Imprisonment would serve the ends
of justice. The prosecutor has threat
ened to appeal, probably in the belief
that the long term will strike terror
to the hearts of wrong-doers If il
does not chasten their hearts and
reparc them for their long sleep.

Susan b. Anthony.

Tie recurrence of the birthday Of
the noted reformcr Susan b. Anthony
IS a hOmc-lorr event that very few
references are made to the full date,
and we therefore deem it duty to
impress it occasionally on the mem
CRY of our readers lest We forget.
Mis- anthony was of Quaker origin,
born in South Adams. Mass, on
Feb H.. $50 Her education was
IN Il boarding school of the Society of
Friends and along the lines of self
support and usefulness. She taught
~rhon. in New York (Statt) from
l>35 to 1870. Her family in 1876
settled in Rochester, Miss Anthony
first spoke in public in 1871. in the
advocacy of temperance reform. or
gdnizing societies mainly of her own
Sex TO advance the work. This Sug-
ge>tcd probably women $ cnfranchise-
mcnt. for it was through her efforts,
assisted by Elizabeth Cody Stanton,
that women came to be admitted to
educational and other conventions
about 1857 she took a prominent
stand in favor of abolition of slavery
The succeeding year she made re-
port in Il teachers convention in
Troy favoring co-education of the
SEXES, and her efforts may be con-
sidcrcd the cause which has given di~
rcction to school matters and more
cquable adjustment of property
rights. She was likewise active in
New York about the year 1860, in
securing to married women the pos
session of their earnings, the guard
ianship of their children, and other
natural rights that had been so far
denied political force. In the same
year she presented 4 petition to Con.
grcss in favor of striking out the
word male" in the 18th Amend
mcnt. In 1867 she went to Kansas
with Mrs. Stanton and Lucy Stone
and obtained 5000 names to petit
ton for wOman's acknowledgements.
In 1868, she published the Rcrolu-
honist, devoted to women's enamel
patton. In 1872, Miss Anthony cast
ballots at the State and Congress
sional elections in Rochester, to test
the intent of the lately passed Con-
stitutional Amendments. She was
indicted for illegal voting, and was
fined by Justice Hunt, but in ac-
cordancc with her defiant declara-
ton, never paid the penalty. In
1851, she published The History of
Woman's Suffrage" in two volumes.
Miss Anthony died on March II,
1906, in Rochester, of heart trouble,
combined with pneumonia, at the
age of Sc.

The Danger Ct Capitalization Passing

1t seems, Since Roosevelt has fin
ally abandoned any intention of be-
ing forced to accept Il third nomina-
ton. that his plan for Capitalization
of Federal authority has received
considerable modification from both
Congress and the Supreme Court.
1t has been noted that the appoint
ments of several Federal Judges have
failed of confirmation by the Senate
ostensibly until such time as it may
be- made quite plain that they will
not attempt to ride over the State
courts, and it is announced that the
/ Supreme Court Justices have agreed
to limit extension of Federal author
ity and to follow the plain require
mentS of the Constitution regarding
those reserved rights guaranteed to
the States upon entering the Union.
1t is announced by the ST. Louis
! RtpnbHc Bureau of Information, ut
Washington, that the members of
the high court have considered their
course and have agreed as to duty at
this time. The views of the most
noted and influential members of
that august tribunal have been made
clear by the most direct and unmis-
taxable way. While they are ex-
ceedingly reticent against criticising
the President in a partisan way, they
seem to think that he has built up a
mob sentiment" in favor of de-
parture from the fundamental princi-
pies of the government as defined by
the Constitution. Come what may,
the Supreme Court, as now consti-
tutcd, intend to pass a limit upon
the expansion of Federal over State
authority.
The question as presented is stat
ed rs follows: Shall q Republican,
like Taft, committed to the Roose-
veltian scheme of liberalization, or
shall a Democrat who believes in the
independent authority of the States,
be given the power of appointing at
least two, and probably four, menu
bers of the highest tribunal. Three
of the Supreme Justices are now ap-
preaching or past the age of three
score years and ten, and the chances
are that neither of them will serve
through another administration. 1t
is quite probable that the action of
Congress is based upon this possible
emergency.

The correspondent claims that
here reside dozen or more Republi-
can aSpirants for the State offices.
vino are diligently working the
capabilities Of the direct primary to
fUiSt them into fat stalls at the pub
lie crib. Various are the devices by
which 4 connection may be estab-
lished between the candidates peck
at and the lever that is said to move
TIE world, and many and interest
ing are the devices by which they
may be united. One of these is by
that dcspicahlc method of establish
ing 4 beauty show and allowing can
didatcS to vote for their fayoritcS at
Il given sum per thousand votes, not
greater, however. than so per L.
600, This proposition is boldly made,
and with an assurance that scarcely
brooks failure to respond, and it is
said to have been suggested by the
newspaper promoter to the victim
that he drop note to his lady friends
stating that the proposition had been
made with his full authorization. By
the noted activity of this plan, it
seems that several scalps are already
dangling at the aforesaid editorial
belt.
Another plan is for the hungry
newspaper man to solicit loans for
new type or additional presses,
which the ready candidates loan on
slow note, which from its ma
ture would be to incur responsibility
for serious misdcmcanOr to attempt
to collect.
Others are importuned to increase
the subscription list, by argument or
persuasion, and if that fails, by pur-
chase of credit slips by the candi-
date, whose identity is lost immed-
lately they pass from the candidate
to his ally.
A Seattle man is said to be in the
field publishing half-tone pictures of
candidates and sending out bill to
each for the service. No conscience
stricken candidate is of course bold
bold enough to either deny authoriza-
alton of the publication, or to refuse
payment. And so it goes.
1t is found that the direct primary
has been the means of extending
fraud and imposition instead of puri-
flying politics, and that it has opened
the door to all sorts of nefarious
practices. Many people were doubt
less deceived. by. the united effort
made to secure the law, but if they
had looked little deeper they would
have discovered the contemplate
little partisan grub lying at the very
root of the new measure and have
discarded it for tried methods which
though imperfect and capable of SUBJ
version at times, are sanctioned by
age and experience as being reason
ably perfect.

AN "ALL-AROUND COOP FELLOW
Charles Vivian, whose name is re-
called to memories of long ago by the
prominence this week in local affairs
of the order he founded in the early
los, the B. o. E. Mr.. Vivian was
known, to our older townsmen, as q
popular song writer, and a most won.
derfully effective delineator of excen'
tricities of personal character. II
was often said of him that he was "a
whole show by himself" but by far
his best efforts were given to select
circles of friends in the club-rooms
of Pray's saloon, long after the public
performance had closed. His Tread.
mill Song" in character and cockney
dialect, will never he effaced from the
memory of those who heard him in
Aud lrng syne.
A RADICAL change seems to have
come over the dream of President
Roosevelt, since he by his own volun-
tary act, cast aside the cohesive
power of public plumber" or all hope
of its perpetuation by declining to
accept third nomination for Presi'
dent. He lately said when invited
to attend q dedication of the new
University of Michigan alumni me-
mortal building, "I'm not going te
Chicago; I'm not going to the Sen
ate; I'm not going to Europe; I'm
not going to any of the places they
have been talking about" He also
said he would make no more speeches

DENATURED ALCOHOL PLANT.-A
committee of the Commercial Club ut
Pullman, with President f. A. Bryan
OF the State College as chairman, in
cooperation with that institution, is
now perfecting plans for installing ap-
paratus for distilling denatured alco-
hol in that city. This is the culmina-
ton of the governments which have been
conducted by the college the past
year, relating to the feasibility of max
ing alcohol from potatoes, waste fruit,
off-grade wheat, and similar products
which are a source of waste to farm
ers. The experience has demon
strated that eighteen pounds of starch
which can be made from one hundred
pounds ofpOtatoes, will produce about
nine pounds of wood alcohol, worth
about fifty-five cents per gallon. 1t
is expected this plant will be running
by the time next season s potato yield
is gathered.
