Supreme Court Decision.

there are many things that could be

violated the law 90 years ago. The
object In the statute was evidently to
set aside one day Of the week for
rest and the contemplation of the
higher things Of life and only works
OF necessity or mercy should be done.
The court holds that it should be care
ful in defining what are works Of nec-
essity and mercy: that by a slight
stretching Of the terms Of the statute
almost anything might be deemed
necessary or inerciful. Therefore so
!ong - the statute stands as It is. 1t is
best to consider the decision Of the
circuit court correct and It IL afirmed.

to the town.
Put what, my friends. is the dan
ger Of the concentration Of our popu-
lation in the great cities? do not
mean to say that the causes that I
have given are the only ones that
have tended to build up the cities.
Nearly everything has contributed, but
these influences have all, when you
trace them back to the cause, been
operating, and the fact that the far
mers' influence in legislation has not
been what 1t ought to have been is
one Of these influences.
''Take the rebates that have built
up great centres and destroyed the
small town. Why have they been
given? Because the farmer has not
had voice in the regulation of the
railroads.
II believe the farm Is the great
training school and I know that the
people from the farm have strength

friends. believe as We get away from
the country. as we get farther from
the soil, we are less and less impressed
by those great laws Of nature that
ought to have controlling influence
in our lives. Man as he lives close to
the soil lives close to God. It is
easy to inspire regard for the Creator
In one who sees every day the handi-
work Of Almighty and labors con-
stantly amid the mysteries of natural
life. And on tho Sc farms we have
been rearing men and women whose
influences have helped to keep this
country great and to promote the
movements which have for their OBJ

"But there Is another reason why I

HOW TO GET RID OF sAdH.BRUsH.

Over East of here is a new
region being opened to the pub
lie. under the Carey act by sew
eral big irrigation companies, in
what is known as the Twin Falls,
Idaho, reclamation project. Over
a million acres of sage-brush
land are being reclaimed. The
News, of that place, tells in the
following how they get rid of the
sage-brush:
William Benning has been do
ing effective work, with the kerr
osene torch in the sagebrush on
the North Side. Last Friday he
burned 30 acres which, at the
prevailing price of $500 an acre
is equivalent to a saving of $3.50.
Mr.. Benning states that the torch
works all right in dry weather
and can be proftably used where
the bush grows densely. Favor
ed by the wind, It is possible to
burn large areas with very little

Mr.. Hardesty further express
ed his surprise and satisfaction
at the settlement and develop
ment of the Harney country
since his departure from here a
few days ago. He remarks that
it requires new men and new
methods to show the old timers
what a country is really good for.
Thirteen years ago when he came
here people did not even attempt
to raise feed for their chickens
and it was considered only 81 ;

by saying: But wait and see.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES

The Portland journal says the
only way to oust Land Hogs" "
who hold large tracts of land
everywhere, and retard develp-
ment in Oregon is to tax them
so heavily that they will have to
put the land to some use, or be
compelled to sell. That is the
case exactly; but how are you
going to do it? Look. for i'm
stance at Weyerhauser on ground
of high taxation. refusing to pay
his taxes, at low valuation in or
der to appeal to the courts to
sustain his contention.
These wrongs demand a rene
dy, and it will come some day.
Indeed, the remedy is at hand in T.
Oregon, by a resort to the ini6a-
tive and referendum, SO soon as .
the people see ft to use that .

breed. The animals range in
age from six months to three
years and there are ten in num-
ber. The bull is a fine calf eight
months old.
DR.. Hibbard also had in the
shipment five of the finest Berk-
shire hogs as can be found any
where. They are as near per-
fection as can be found in hogs.
There are four brood Sou u n

After stating editorially the
fact that the supreme court of
North Dakota had decided that
members Of the legislator pledg-
ed 10 vote for the popular choice
for senator cannot be compelled
10 keep their pledges, the San
Francisco Chronicle, a staunch
Republican newspaper, says:
"Of course they cannot. Ev-
erybody knew that. The me h.
cd Of choosing United States SEN
ators is determined by the cons
tituton Of the United States, and
no state legislature can in any
way affect it, But neither does
the federal constitution prevent
legislators from promising 10 vote
as their constituents direct. If,
however, they make these pledg-
es no power on earth except their
sense of decency can prevent
them from 'welching.' fla man
desires to publicly confess him
self a liar and a sneak he has the /
moral--no, the immoral right .
TO do so. And if a legislator thus
pledged should thus violate his
promise it would be illegal for
his constituents to duck him in .
a horsepond after he got home. /
But they might do it and take
their chances with the law and
the recording angel. "
