The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-01-12

American poultry raisers doubtless
will be -e-lighted to learn that the
usual amount of government free seeds
will be forthcoming-a little later, per-
haps, but still in time to be of use.
When, last fall, the seed warehouse of
the Department OF Agriculture was
visited by fire which destroyed some
$4,000 worth of the seeds which had
been purchased and packeted for Con
gressional distribution, the farmers re-
gretfully and even tearfully put aside
the thought of producing extra fine
poultry for the holiday trade and took
other steps to secure suitable fattening
food for the Thanksgiving and Christ
mas birds, for they realized that $4,000
worth of chicken feed makes a big pile.
However the American public can look
forward to frolicsome feasts on fat
spring chicken, for, thanks to the fore
sight of Secretary Wilson and his lieu
tenants, no sooner had the clang Of the
fire bells died out than provisional pur-
chase was made OF seeds to replace those
destroyed, and these were deliverd in
Washington and held subject to the
action of the Sixtieth Congress on the
Departments request for an emergency
appropriation to refill the bins of the
restored seed warehouse. The measure,
rs everyone knows, went through, and
this week it developd that the Depart
ment is about ready to inaugurate its
annual distribution of the seeds, as per
Congressional suggestion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-With 1905
fairly under way, the aspiring Presi-
Dental candidates for the Republican
nomination have gone into hard training
for the contest and have undertaken a
systematic speech making diet. Secre-
tary Taft's address last week before the
Merchants Association of Boston was
perhaps the initial one in this Fd-hke-
to-be- President talkfest series, and his
lead has been followed by Senator
Knox, who has accepted several invita-
tions to address political and commercial
clubs in the near future Even the silent
executive Of New York, Gov. Hughes,
has agreed to be the principal speaker
ut the annual banquet of the Union
League Club OF Chicago on Washington's
birthday, on which occasion he is expect
ed to declare himself as to his stand on
national questions. The fact that Mr..
Hughes views on tariff revision, corpo-
ration and railroad control, a greater
navy, and one or two other issues which.
collectively, bid fair to form the bone OF
coutention in next November's election,
never have been clearly known has caused
much criticism to be directed against
the movement to nominate him. These
criticisms practically all have come from
the supporters Of other candidates, but
they nevertheless have served as brake
to the Hughes Presidential band wagon.
Thus it is that what the New York Gov
smor will have to say at the Windy
City banquet is being awaited with much
interest.

SOAK The PROFESSOR

ANACONDA, Mont. April 10
Playing the sleuth, Principal Hick-
son caught students of the high
school having little dance in the
hall. The board of education had
sternly forbidden such pleasure.
When the professor tried to break
up the party a pretty little girl
sought to lead him out on the floor.
They treated him nice enough to
turn any mans head, but the pro-
fessor couldn't be tempted. He
broke away from those wicked
jewellers and turned the fire hose
on them, evening gowns and all.
That stopped the dance and also
the professor. They held him and
drenchei him to the drowned rat
stage He was still absorbing
moisture when an officer heard the
racket and rescued the professor.

TEAMS READY
FOR CLEANUP

Spokane is to be left as bright
as pin Saturday April Is, accord
ing to the plan outlined by the City
Beautiful committee today. 1t is
the committee desire that the citi-
zens have all rubbish piled up by
the 18th in order that the teams
can make a clean sweep. Arrange
ments have been made with Supt.
Merritt of the crematory depart
ment, to furnish all the teams need
ed. They are ready for service
now.
Residents having rubbish to be
hauled should either phone the
crematory department, No. 1896, or
Sec. Jones, $40, but care should be
taken that the same order is not
sent to both phone. Z
The practice of dumping refuse
on private property and the rub
bish pile on the island was referr-
ed to the legislative committee for
investigation.

TO FIX FENCES

Representative Mann, of Illinois,
who is close in the confidence of
Speaker Cannon, stated today that
he expects to see congress adjourn
about May 20, provided a rule is
brought in to expedite disposition
of bills which have been to con-
ference. He pointed out that mo-
ton to suspend the rules ami place

that If the minority took advantage
of its full rights it could force the

ering senate amendments to this

they are anxious to get away, so

pected.

BOND ELECTION
TOMORROW

The question Of whether the
Spokane school district shall be
bonded for $25o,OOO goes to the
voters tomorrow. The polls are
open from l to p. m. Women citi-
Zens VINO are registered are entitled
to vote. For Bisbee precinct bal
lots will be cast at the home of M.
A. Covington, S517 Greene. In the
First ward residents of Adler, Al
win and Ashley precincts will vote
at the Mckinley school; those of
Altamont, Ada, Alki, Alice, Anne

The high school is the Second ward

scroft in the Fourth; Dewey. Davi-

MONEY FLOWS LIKE WA TER
IN TAFT CAMPAIGN

1t TO the use OF this expensive
means of communication. II any
question arises a manager calls up
an agent 500 miles away as readily
as he would man in the next
block.
There is as much freedom in the
matter of railroad fares and hotel
bills. Every politician of conse-
quence i'll every state has been in
terviewed in the interest of Taft.
Much of this work has been done
without expense by officeholders
and other local representatives, but
complete dependence has not been
placed in them. Managers and SUBJ
managers have taken trips through
out the country to keep in touch
with the situation and to solve diff
cult problems. In some sections,
particularly the South, II is the
custom to pay expenses and lit
tie more TO delegates to conven-
tons. II is likely that the Taft
managers as well as their oppo-
nents, have not jisregarded the an
cient custom.
Whatever the amount of the ex-
penditures 1t seems probable that
the Taft managers have beaten the
record of the first Mckinley cam
paign and the output of Hearst in
his political ventures. They have
been due to desire OF the Taft
men to make the most complete
canvass possible in his behalf. No
man or corporation outside the
family has contributed dollar to
fund. 1t has been provided as a
matter of family pride by Charles
p Taft. brother of the secretary
and the possessor OF millions.
