The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-08-28

why not?
1T was the sense ofthe meeting
that neutral lines be maintained in
the struggle for the United States
senatorship, that the Republican
organization could consistently
espouse the cause Of either candi-
date, and that this matter should
be left to Republican voters Of the
state to decide for themselves. For
this reason Mr., Plumley stated, no
invitations Of a formal nature had
been extended to either Mr.. Mar
shall or MI. johnson to participate
in any plan Of campaign which
might involve the senatorial strug-
gle with the selection OF. state and
other officers. He said this state
ment was due in justice, both to
Mr. Marshall and Mr.. johnson"
How generous they seem to be-.
They would not espouse the cause
of either candidate, but at the
same time johnson was there and
Marshall wasn't. Looks funny
doesn't it?
The Leader has always been in
favor Of straight Republicanism.
It has always advocated the plac-
ing in Office Of the best men and
those best fitted for. a particular
Office, and has invariably decried
the efforts of boodlers and grafters
to elect who we're plainly unquali-
fed to serve the public. There
has never been anything said by
it against harmony, the only point
advocated was anti cKenzieism.
The harmony meeting above e
ferred to seems to be, and was
without question, in the interests
of McKenzieism, The Leader is
willing to support the republican
ticket from top to bottom, but the
actions Of some Of these
so-called party leaders looks very
strange when viewed from an un-
prejudiced standpoint.
They make no promises Of what
they will do or how they will do it.
They do not agree to eliminate the
Doodle they have been accustomed
to use in their campaigns to defeat
the best and most desirable candi-
dates which the people wanted in
the several counties, neither do
they state that if they are elected
they will reside at the capital and
attend personally to the duties of
their respective Offices.
-
Governor Burke, representing
the democrats, has made his home
at Bismarck, where he is esteemed
as a good citizen and has attended
to his duties as a governor should.
The clerks in the various Offices
are not to be censured, for they
do the best they can, but the peo-
pie of the state when coming to
headquarters like to meet the
chief officials. Will those who
now aspire to state. Offices come
out plainly and tell the people that
they will reside at Bismarck dur
ing their terms of Office and attend
to the duties thereof personally
instead Of coming there occasion
ally for a visit and to draw their
pay as their habit has been here.

500 Years Under Cultivation.

Great Britain farmers have
shown what can be done with land
whers cattle and other live stock
are grown to eat up all the SIR
plus on the farm. With such IL
stock farming there are farms In
England that have been under Cul-
tivation for more than 500 yaars'
and they are more fertile and yield
a third more than they did 500
years ago. The clovers and other
legume crops wera grown IN rota'

great quantities OF manure was
and constantly SIP, cad over the
fields, and so fertility was not onI,
sintained, but Increased.
These old country object lessons
are certainly very assuring to farm
crs here whose lands are not q
quarter so old. 1t was unfoi tunats
that the New England states did
not avail themselves OF these Eiea'
lessons. Enterprising farmers thc's
are now struggling to overcom" tho
early mistakes, and here and there
with live stock are bringing up the
lost fertility. The wise thing fol

Value of Humus.

The principal source of nitrogen
in the soil is organic matter We
must have the nitrogen to produce
the crops. 1t is necessary to pro-
mote growth. 1t is an expensive
food-probably the most expensive
of all the food elements needed by
the plants. 1t is estimated that if
the nitrogen had to be purchased to
produce bushel of corn, It would
cost "a cents. However, if the Or
ganic matter is kept sufficient in
the soil, it can be supplied without
cost.
Generally speaking, there Is
enough potash in the average Am
erican soil to produce corn for
thousands OF years. but as rule II
is not available so that plants can
use it as food. Many of the un-
soluble mineral elements are made
soluble and available for the plants
needs by decay of the organic mat
ter in soils. 1t requires humus in
TIN poll to make these unsoluble
elements available.
1t is then plain that soils that
have plenty of humus are not only
rich in nitrogen, but in the decay
Of the humus the supply of availa
BILE mineral elements Is also In
creased. Soils are ready to farm
much earlier in spring that are ricl
| in humus than those that are def
| cient in it. This humus Is wha
| gives the soil it's dark color, and !
is a fact that anything dark in col
or absorbs heat more rapidly thai
does a light color. Soil containing
humus will dry out sooner and b
ready to cultivate sooner than sol
that has no humus.
Moisture is better retained in
soil that has the proper amount Q
humus than In one that is devoi
Of 1t. In other words, soils tha
contain humus are rich in availabl
plant food, are ready to work earl
In the spring and have moisture
keep the crops growing and produt
ing; while, on the other hand, soil
that are without humus dry out an
are unfit for cultivation.

BUDD CARBERRY
IS The GOODS
Especial to the Bonanza. }

MILLERS, New, March 20.-Bud
Carbury, deputy sheriff here, receiv-
ed telephone message today from
Sheriff ingalls, of Esmeralda county
to look out for four men who had
stolen four hourses in Goldfield and
when last seen were evidently head
ing for Millers. Upon receipt of the
message Carbury started out to look
for the men. He encountered them
seven miles from Millers and, placing
them all under arrest, returned to
Millers with the prisoners and then
notified Sheriff ingalls, of his cap
ture. The names of the men are
Dick Jefferies, j. Dennis, w. B. Greg
DRY and o. R. Griggs.
Shortly after this, Carbury re-
ceived another telephone message
from the sheriff, stating that a man
named John Scott was on his way to
Millers from Goldfield, after holding
up man in Goldfield and relieving
him of two hundred dollars. Inside
of ten minutes after receiving the
message, Bud had nailed his man and
recovered the two hundred plunks.
And Bud again notified the sheriff
that the man was in custody, and
was highly praised by Sheriff ingalls,
for his efficiency. When in Goldfield
last year Bud received the name of
"Slowfoot'' from the crooks in that
vicinity, but Buds actions here today
showed him far from slow, and it is
possible that the crooks will give
Millers wide berth in the future.

TO RUSH WORK ON
RAWHIOE RAILROAD

c. E. Loss, engineer of the Cali
fornia Construction Company. which
has the contract for the construction
of the Rawhide Western railroad
from Rawhide to point on the
Southern Pacific on the shore of
Walker Lake, arrived in Reno this
morning from San Francisco and will
leave in a few days for Rawhide to
arrange for the actual construction
of the road. He has already ordered
the necessary construction machinery
shipped from California to Rawhide
and will begin grading for the rail-
road before the end of the week.
This road will be only twenty
eight miles long and it is believed
that it can be constructed in two
months time. The material has al
ready been ordered and by the time
the grade is complete, the steel and
ties will be on the ground ready for
the construction force to lay the
track.
The Rawhide Western railroad is
certain to be built and in a short
time trains will be running into Raw
hide. The road will be standard
gauge and connect with the Southern
Pacific line near Schurz.
A mining man from Rawhide, in
speaking of the new road this morn
ing said that he believes the freight
business of the road will pay for the
cost of construction in less than six
months after the first train is run
into Rawhide.-RenoG Gazette.

FIRE DESTROYS
FRAME DWELLING.
EARLY MORNING BLAZE WIPES
OUT COLORED WOMAN'S
RESIDENCE.

An early morning blaze destroyed
the dwelling owned and occupied by
Millie Tinsley, colored laundress.
The fire started in the front part Of
the dwelling in a room occupied by
an Italian woman named Millie
Simpson. In moment the entire
place was in flames. By heroic eff
forts on the part of men rushing to
the scene few of the chattels were
saved. The surrounding houses were
for a time threatened, due to high
wind and the absence of water, the
amount of hose being inadequate t.

it was either knocked over or set
fire to flimsy material, near which
the candle had been placed. The
Simpson woman disappeared imme-
diately after the alarm.
The loss of the dwelling and most
of its contents comes as sad blow
to Mrs. Tinsley, as it was by dint of
hard work at the tub that she ac-
cumulated enough to build the dwell
ing, and she had just finished paying
for it. There was no insurance.
