Burbank Thornless Cactus.

G. H. Fuller of Spokane, Wash, ar
rived in Caldwell. the other day, having
come to Idaho for the purpose Of intro
ducing Burbank s famous thorniess esc-
tus. He brought with him some fine
specimens of the plant, which contain
large green leaves without the sign of
a thorn. This plant will grow in almost
any kind of soil without any water
whatever. and is considered fine feed
for cattle. sheep and hogs. 1t IS plant
that is especially adapted to the ard
region and bids fair to become one of
the Leading products of the section. 1t
is claimed that it has three-fourths more
nutritive power than alfalfa without
the fruit, and with the fruit it is far
superior. as the fruit contains about
fourteen per cent sugar. The yield Of
this plant the first season is claimed to
be about seventy-hve tons per acre.
If a person will let his Imagination
go out and try to conceive the vast
amount of products that could be raised
on the desert lands in this section alone.
it would be almost too great task.

SMUT WRECKS SEPARATOR.
Three Machines Blow Up aud Bu1
Near Walla Walla.

Smut is reported from the Walia
WaIla. Wash, section, where harvest
is well along, and trouble is being ex-
perienced with the explosive dust IN the
cylinders of the threshers. Three ma
chimes have been blown up and burned
by the accumulation of smut in the last
two days. the last being owned by n
B. Atkinson. president of the farmers
union for that state Mr.. Atkinson was
operating his machine in good grain on
land near Waitsburg. the yield being
about 80 bushels an acre. Without any
warning the separator exploded az If
powder had been discharged in the cyl
inder. and flashes of flames seemed TO
appear at every opening. In minute
the machine was on fire and nothing
could be done TO prevent its destruction
Two years ago over dozen machines
were burned as the result of explosions
in the Palouse country. Several field
fires were narrowly averted in this sec
ton. The quality Of the grain is not
materially injured by the presence of
smut that explodes.

one of the most strenuous in the history
Of the party in this state. The only
surprise Was the defeat Of Congressman
Burton l.. French for denomination.

Nomination of Senators.
We favor the nomination Of a can
didate Of the party for United States
senator in this state convention. We
have tried that experiment in the nom-

great President Roosevelt represents,

those policies and principles The
American people are not willing that
any backward step shall be taken, or
that any experiment shall be tried a,

and in aid thereof. we declare in "a

districts of this state are oyercrowd-

cannot have speedy hearing. we
pledge the Republican party to take
such action as shall be necessary to
grant relief TO such districts in order
that litigants may have speedy
hearing and thas justice may be ai-
ministered without delay.

The Republican party is the father
of the homestead law and the friends

versy existing between the state and
certain of it's citizens respecting Ger.
