A Wall Street authority announces that
Hartman now controls absolutely one
third of the railway milage in the United
States. Two years ago his enemies, !"
headed by the president, thought they
had him on the run. The. fight made on
Hartman by the administration was
purely for political purposes. He is
stronger today in the railway world, says
the Wall Street Journal, than ever before.

| With a view to- bringing about better
social, sanitary and economic conditions
on Amer can farms, President Roosevelt
has requested four experts on country life
to make All investigation into the whole
matter and to report to him with recon-
lamentations for Improvements. The re-
port and recommendations, with any adj
ditional Recommendations which the
President himself may desire to make,
will be incorporated in-a message which
he will send to Congress, probably early
next year.
The men President Roosevelt has asked
to act as an investigating committee are

Elmer E. Johnson, secretary of the
Everett Chamber of Commerce, to
whose efforts the planning and prepa-
rations for this convention are chiefly
due, says of the movement:
Last summer, the Everett Chamber
of Commerce launched through the col
umns of The Ranch a land clearing
campaign, under the caption of The
Snohomish County Idea,' with view
to promoting the introduction of more

ing logged-off land. Our cities and
towns have grown rapidly in the di-
rection of logging, numbering, manu-
featuring, shipping, mining, etc., but
the distractions left by the logger, in
the way of the agriculturist, has pro-
duced an unbalanced development,
with the result that our agricultural
interests are far behind our urban de-
velopment, while our centers of popu-
lation Tin the midst of ideal soil and

tined to become the equal in every

cd of clearing these lands is very

these lands is confined to comparative
ly a few farmers, working at odd
times, with match in one hand and
an axe in the other, SO to speak, pro-
gress must be slow, and the local con-
sumption of farm products continues
to be in excess of the production.
"The Puget Sound farmer-from the
sparsely timbered sections of the East
is learning a lesson that the logger
learned before him. l. e., that the meth
DDS and equipment adapted to Eastern
timbered sections are not adequate to
Puget Sound timbered conditions, and
all communities in the older logged-off
areas appear all at once to have awak-
ened to the necessity for more efficient
methods better progress, and lower
costs in clearing up the refuse from
the lumber harvest, and preparing OF
the way for the agriculturist, the hor-
ticulturist and the dairyman, and the
introduction into our land clearing
operations of power to replace the by
hand methods, the utilization of the
chemical values in our waste woods,
and the staying of the hand of waste
by enlistment of capital, system and
science into wholesale land clearing
operations
apparently, as an outgrowth of the
movement started in Snohomish coun-
ty, there has from the first been mani
tested an unexpected, widespread and
very general interest in means, meth
DDS and costs of land clearing; real
ization of the tremendous waste repre-
sented in the present methods and
practice; universal desire and effort
to improve and modernize these opera
tions, and, especially noticeable, an
awakened interest in and appreciation
of the intrinsic value of our logged
off areas, and the important relation
of agriculture to the future balanced
development of the Puget Sound Sec
ton.
Many of the leading papers have
given the important subject their sup
port and have lent their columns for
the circulation of pertinent and val
liable ideas and suggestions bearing
upon many phoses of the matter. The
Agricultural Department has mani
tested a deep interest, and is now in
vestigating along the line of improving
mechanical devices and saving of
chemical values. The governor of the
state and several members of the leg
islature are investigating other i'm
portant phases, looking to the financ-
ing of wholesale operations. CONF
munities are agitating and discussing
plans and means for cooperation to
extend their operations. Inventors and
manufacturers are offering to improve,
perhaps revolutionize, apparatus and
equipment. Several instances of ma
terially reduced costs through the use
of improved equipment are reported,
and plans and theories for saving of
the lumber by-products and chemical
values of the waste woods promises
to still further reduce costs of land
clearing, until, possibly, land clearing
operations may pay their way instead
of being almost a prohibitive charge
against the agricultural value of the
land as at present.
"a very general discussion and agi-
tation of our land clearing problems
during the present months has result
ed also in bringing clearly and forci-

RENEW FLAG RACE
Sunday School Rivalry Ends
In a Finish Fight.
FIVE MONTHS STRUGGLE.

Another race for the silk U. S. flag
offered as a prize for attendance, will
start tomorrow morning between the
First English Lutheran and the First
M. E. Sunday schools. The race was
declared off in June by the mutual
agreement of both Sunday schools, I'M
til the first Sunday in September. By
the new agreement the race will be
five months long and in this way one
of the schools will have to have lead
in the total attendance and will then
have the flag for permanent posses
sion. The school having the largest
attendance during each month gets to
keep 1t during the next month. The
school having the largest attendance
at the end of the five months is to be
entertained by the school having the
smallest attendance.
Both Sunday schools have been MAX
ing preparations for tomorrow and ex-
pect all scholars in attendance. Both
schools have sent out notices stating
the fight is on and urging everybody
to come.

Song of Canary That Caused
Trouble for Two Fair
view Families.
FATHERS GAVE BATTLE.
RESULT OF PRoTRAcTED DIS
PUTE WAS FIGHT WAGED BY
WISE AND FORMER
WAS ARRESTED.

The canary bird feud existing be-
tween the families of Reuben Wise
and William Hopkins, who live in ad-
joining houses on School street, cul-
minated yesterday afternoon when the
respective heads of the families gave
battle. A warrant charging Wise with
assault and battery has been filed and
he was given hearing at o'clock
this afternoon in the city court All
I the incidents in connection with the
canary bird trouble will be given an
airing.
Several days ago the feathered song
ster flew its coop in the Hopkins
homestead and alighted on hostile
Wise territory. 1t was made captive
by one of the Wises and imprisoned
in their home.
When the Hopkins family learned
Of this their wrath knew no bounds
1t was a breach of armed neutrality
and the Hopkins notified the Wises
that unless the canary was returned
to them their act would be considered
as a causis belli-whatever that is.
The Wises not knowing, and apparent
ly having no ambition to know, re-
fused to consider the ultimatum. The
armed truce then came to an abrupt
end and Hopkins, Major, appealed to
the police to take a hand in the mat
ter.
Handsome Mort" Little was sent to
the Wise home to secure the bird-if
he could do so by persuasion. Little
had no authority to seize the little
warbler by force of arms as the cap
ture of the canary by the Wises was
not considered a criminal act. The
mission of Little was a decided fail.
ure. The Wises refused to give up
their prisoner of war, claiming Hop.
kins & Co. owed papa Wise so cents
The police then informed the Hopkins
that about the only way they could re-
cover the bird was to bring civil &C
ton.
Trouble between the two belligerent
families dates back some time prior
to the canary bird incident. 1t started
over a dispute concerning the child
rem of the two families. In the fight
which occurred yesterday, Mr.. Wise
is said to have administered a crush
ing defeat to Mr.. Hopkins.
