TAFT ESTIMATE MADE
BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE
CONCLUSIVE ARGUMENT ADvAN CED TO SHOW THAT NO LAND
SLIDE IS IN s1GHT-G1v1NG ROOSEVELT MAJoRITIEs AND
SHOWING CHANGES NECESSARY TO INSURE BRYAN VICTORY
AN MPROBABILITY

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Tribune in
its review of the political situation
says: No leader Of the Republican
forces has the slightest doubt of an
overwhelming victory. Their esti-
mates of plurali,ies have increased
in all states during the last few
days. No laggard captains have APP
peared in the ranks, and every divi-
sion is where C5mmander-in-Chi
Hitchcock planned II should be,
ready to de liver Taft majority. Not
a discordant note has been received
at Republican headquarters
Even the admittedly doubtful
states Of Maryland. Indiana and Ne
braska have reported pr bablo Taf,
victories, and in all normal Repub
1ican states the estimates grow with
each dispatch received. West Vir-
g.nia is claimed rs safely Republi-
can.
Tart can not hope to secure the eX
traordinary p Qualities which Mr.
Roosevelt had in all of the ubtful
Northern states, and yet 1t is true
that tho falling off in the Republi
can vote must be in the nature of
a landslide to defeat Taft.
Taking the returns of four years
ago as basis and remembering the
fact that every vote changed means
two votes on the opposite side Of
the column, It Is possible to make up
a table OF the tota' v-te, the Roose
welt plurality and the necessary
changes to throw the electoral vote
OF the state into the Democratic col
umn, somewhat as fellows:

CLUBS FAVOR
BOND ISSUE
NEE PIERCE COUNTY NEEDS A
NEW JAIL-CIRCULAR ON THE
PROPOSITION SENT OUT TO
COUNTY VOTERS.

The various c ub organ TIA tons CT
the city have taken an active in
terest in the proposed bond issue to
provide funds for the improvements
at the courthouse and the erection
of new Jail building. Yesterday
four of the leading clubs prepared
circular to be generally distributed
throughout the county. calling at
tention to the present Inadequate
Jail facilities and asking the voters
Of Nez Perez county to support the
bond issue.

Is being mailed today to all sections
OF the county:
I'VE, the undersigned, respectfully
call attention of all voters in the

ques ion to be submitted to the peo-
pc will be the bonding Of the county
for the purpose Of erecting a new
Jail building and improving the
county building.
Separate ballots are provided to
allow an independent expression OF
the people on this question. The
present county Jail facilities have
been condemned by every Christian
thinking person who has Investigated
the matter. 1t Is in deplorable
condition, entirely inadequate. and a
disgrace to the county. No less than
10 to 20 prisoners are confined in
this Jail, while it's dimensions pro-
vide proper accommodations for not
over half dozen. 1t Is also unsani-
tary. Confirmed criminals and boy
offenders are required to associate
and live in the same room, and in
addition 1t IL necessary to maintain
a night Waterman or guard at the
jail In order to keep the inmates
from escaping.

Embraces Doubtful States.
This embraces about all OF the So
called doubtful or debatable impor-
by the most casual that 1t will re-
Cuire a great change OF public senti-
ment In these states to elect Bryan
over Taft. For instance, in West
Virginia. where the tota, vote 10 only
23s.542. and where party lines are
always closely drawn, President
Roosevelt had a plurality Of 31,75S
II would therefore require change
of sentiment on the part Of nearly
10000 persons who voted for Roose-
welt In 1904 and who prefer to vote
for Bryan In 1908.
Az to Ohio.
There has been good deal Of dis
cussion as to the probable result in
Ohio. the home ssate OF the Republi-
can candidate for the presidency. II
IL worth remembering, therefore
then, in vote Of 1,026.229 Presi-
dent Roosevelt had plurality OF
255.421. This means that on the ba'
sis Of the returns four years ago 1.
would be necessary for 120,711 peo-
pie who voted for Roosevelt tc
change their votes to Bryan to make
1t possible for the Democratic can
didate to carry the state of Ohio In
other words, the percentage OF
changes from RooseveH's vote must
be good deal more than one in ev-
cry 10 to throw the electoral vote OF
the state of Ohio to Bryan.
An even larger impeachment seems
% exist in the other states against
the possible success OF the Demo
cratic candidate. In Kansas, for In
stance, with total vote of only
324.5SS. there was Roosevelt plu'
rality 126.093. THIS would make
1t necessary for 63,017 of the citizen,
who voted for Roosevelt TO turr
sQuAreiy around and vote for Bry'
an to make 1t possible to transfer
the electoral vote OF Kansas to tn,
Democratic column.
Significance Of New York Vote.
There is a still mere impressiv,
political lesson to be learned in New
York state. The total vote here Il
particularly large, and the electora
vote is becomingly important. II

b. Parker was candidate, almos
the full Democratic vote wa
brought out in New York, and Mr.
Rooseye't's record-breaking plurali

that the Republicans in his hom
state were in an overwhelming ma
jority. The total vote Of New Yorl
four years ago was 1.617,5O9. o

Salt for Asparagus.

Every now and then the old question
crops up as to tile ACCESSIBILITY of heavy
applications of common salt for aspara

thing I'VE a year ago., Professor e.
Walker of the Arkansas Experiment
Station announced that he had found
y distinct benefit to accrue from the
Use of heavy doses Of salt on small
garden plats of asparagus-presumably
planted broadcast-a benefit which he
seemed to think could be but made
IUately accounted for by the destruc-
ton by the salt of the weeds in the
bed.
Some years since experiments at the
Georgia station on half an acre indi-

cations Of salt. but there was not 4
sufficient difference to pay for the salt.
nor was the increase under salt equal
to that with kainit, where ever half
he quantity of the latter was used.
In neither case did the excessive appli-
cations pay.
1t is possible that the increased bene-
fit from large doses of salt on garden
beds of asparagus, for which Walker

The Strawberry Raspberry,

The strawberry raspberry is not one
of Burbank's productions; it is not
new it Is not a valuable fruit. and in
stead Of being a cross between the
strawberry and the raspberry it Is a
distinct species. This species has peer
grown in America in a limited way for
a great many years. and was reintro-
duced from Japan. where it is native.
about twenty years ago. 1t was quite
widely disseminated II few years later,
but it has never developed any COM
mercial Importance.
The plants are attractive in an orna-
mental way, as they make a dense mass
of foliage, and flowers are produced
through a long period. The berries are
large, red in color, and quite apt to
crumble, and they are dry, seedy and
insipid.
The plants are unusually unproduc-
tive, their fruit-bearing habit resem-
bling the wild thimble berry Of the
foothills, and as a commercial sort they
have been nc more profitable.
1t IS usually the safest plan to test
novelties in a small way at first. In
Colorado. in particular, except for To-
cal market. the trade demands large
quantities OF well known, staple kinds.
All these varieties will no doubt be
displaced by better ones. but such
things take place slowly.-W. Paddock.

Wild Horses Make Escape.

Several efforts have been made to
capture three bands of wild horses
feeding in the n~eighborhood of Kit Car
son.
Among the group that runs wild
about twenty miles north of the town,
says the Denver Republican, are said to
be a powerful horse and al equally
handsome mare thai would make a
team worth about $500. \ huge sorrel
animal with a blaze face, a tail that
ing name is the leader of the band, and
is said to be so wary that up to date
all attempts to run down any member
of the group has resulted in failure.
Whenever a man appears on the hori-
zon the stallion sounds the alarm and
starts the band off in the other direc-
ton, led by a small roa broncho. The
sOrrel himself brings up the rear,
swapping at the mares to make them
run faster, and if too hard pushed he
will stride off to himself.
The country where the band roams is
known as the Little and Big Springs
section, and the farmers in that vicin-
ity are watching their wv horses close
ly to keep them from joining the wild
herd. A domesticated horse is often
coaXed away by a band of wild ones
and in a few days is as wild as the
rest.
There is said to be another band, led
by a big brown horse, about twenty
miles south of Kit Carson, and a third,
led by a bay, not quite so far off. Some

Preventing Hog Cholera.

Professor S8ckett and Doctor Glover
Of the Colorado Agricultural College
attended the hog cholera meeting at
Ames, Iowa, the last of July. At this
meeting were representatives from the
experiment stations Of a large number
Of States. These experts met there at
the solicitation of the chief of the
United States bureau of animal indus
try. The government experts have
worked out a serum which will prevent
hog cholera. II is predicted that there
will be such a demand for this serum
that the government will not be able
to supply all the States, as it has done
with Black-leg Vaccine and Tuberculin.
1t is expected that each State will
manufacture its own hog cholera ser
UNI, and it was in order to give COM
plete instructions In the details of MAX
ing this serum that the experts of the
different States were invited to visit
the government station at AmeS. Iowa.
1t is hoped by station officials that ar
engagements may be made so that this
serum may be produced for distribution
throughout Colorado. It will prob
ably be at least two months before
much can be effected along this line.

Marian Life Dying.

A sadder interest attaches to such
existence-that it is, cosmically speak
ing, oon to pass away. To Our even
tual descendants life on Mars will no
longer be something to scan and inter
pref. 1t will have lapsed beyond the
hope of study or recall. Thus to us it
takes on an added glamour from the
fact that it has not long TO last, for
the process that brought it to it's pres
ent pass must go on to the bitter end
until the last spark of Marian life
goes out. The drying up of the planet
is certain to proceed until its surface
car support no life at all. Slowly, but
surely, time will snuff it out. When
the last ember is thus eX~tinguished the
planet will roll a dead world through
space, its evolutionary career forever
ended.-Prof. Lowell in Century.

The woofnS OF the WoOdcOck.

The wooing of the woodcock is one
of those sights to witness which a lover
of nature in all it's moods will make
a journey of miles. The scene is en-
acted at twilight, and the setting is of
willow or alder bushes whose branches
are just beginning TO show the tender
green of early spring. Suddenly from
the damp ground a bird form shoots
upward like some swamp spirit until it
is outlined against the gray of the event
ing sky. Then it circles above the
branches. and the sons of the wooing
begins. Hidden in the darkness of the
thick lower growth is the object to
which this love song is directed. The
bird above circles perhaps a score of
times, then drops back to the damp
thicket, making a sound which can be
likened only to the dropping of water
into a woodland pool. Again the bird
scars and circles. singing still the love
song. This is repeated time after time
until the last CLEAN of light has faded
and nights darkness cOmes down.

WATERFRONT CONCRETE.
How to Mix 1t So That Foundation
MALLS Won't Leak.

The complaint is often heard that
concrete is not water-tight. The con-
crete materials may be perfectly grad
ed and the proper proportions of &C.
ment and of hydrated lime used, and
then if the concrete is poorly mixed,
mixed with insufficient water, or i'm
properly placed, or if joints are left
in the mass, the wall will invariably
leak.
In the first place, says Cement Age.
the mixture must be thorough, and
in the second place. sufficient water
must be employed 70 give 1t least a
"mushy" mix, 50 that it will settle into
! place with only a small amount of
ramming. Fully as important as the
mixture is the bonding OF the concrete
between two days work. For a small
structure which must be water-tight.
it is advisable TO place the concrete
continuously, allowing no joint what
ever, and not even permitting the con-
crete to stiffen I'D between the patches
Even an interruption of an hour in
the middle of a hot day has been
known TO form a joint which will allow
water to pass. II continuous work is
impracticable, the old surface of the
concrete must be thoroughly cleaned
Of all dirt and partially set cement, so
as to expose the concrete. A layer of
neat cement paste of soft consistency
or else OF mortar should be then spread
upon the old concrete after thoroughly
wetting it, and the new concrete laid
before this mortar has stiffened. The
placing of the mortar or paste does
not preclude the necessity of thor
oughly cleaning the surface, for if any
Of the partially set cement is left on
the old concrete. it Will form a joint
under the new mortar through which
water will pass. A long wall or Il
conduit may require longitudinal re-
enforcement to prevent temperature
cracks and therefore leakage through
them.

Warning to Fruit Gamers.

According to Presiding Justice Wyatt
of the court of special sessions, New
York City, future offenders against the
law i'll relation to using sulphuric acid
to preserve fruits will receive prison
sentences upon conviction instead of
fines as heretofore. This decision is a
result Of several conferences between
the justice and Health Commissioner
Darlington.
Inspectors Of the health department
have found recently that many persons
put the acid in preserves and iellies.
and those who ave been arrested were
fined from SO to SO and warned not
to do it again. The warnings have not
had the desired effect. however. hence
the warnir: that prison sentences Will
be imposed hereafter.
