RAILROADS ASK TO
INTRODUCE TESTIMONY
Attorneys Think They Should
Be Allowed More Evidence

OLYMPIA, Jan. so. Especial
Zera Snow, attorney for the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company,
and l.. c. Gilman. for the Great
Northern, today made application
to Judge Linn in the local superior
court for the permission to intro
duce further evidence in the joint
wheat rate and other railway COM
mission cases.
Assistant Attorney General A. J.
Faulkner opposed the motion.
The commission contends that if
the motion is granted it practically
destroys all that heretofore accom-
plished by the commission at it's
rate hearings.
The new law provides that in
such cases, when the appeal is
taken to the courts from an order
of the commission, the court may
only consider the testimony taken
before the commission.
The railroad attorneys contend
this unconstitutional, as a denial
of due process of law. The argu-
ment will be completed tomorrow.

The Star Spangled Fifth

Oh, say, you see by the dim candlelight
That has glowed since the last roman candle
exploded
While we stood on the lawn at late hour last
Can you if they're gone, as most of us
forebodedo
Little Johnnies left ear will be useless, | fear,
And papas scorched nose makes his face very
But, say, do poor grandfathcr's whiskers yet
wave,
Or did he acquire skyrockcty shave?
Uncle Henry has gone for some cotton and savc
TO apply to the arm of your poor sister Lizzie,
And the doctor keeps speaking of things he
must have;
All night has the druggist been awfully busy
Father cannot sit down, lie stands, with
frown,
And looks out at the fires that are blazing DER
But, say do poor grandfather's whiskers yet
Wave
Or did they melt off in that crash the bombs
gave?
All day he w~s warned that it might not be best
To be showing the youngsters the tricks of
their fireworks;
He was told that his beard should be showed in
his vest
Or the sparks and the flames would exhibit
their dire works
I and Lizzie and John, with our cutclc gone,
Suffer here on our cots in tie gray of the dawn.
But tell us do grandfather's whiskcrs yet wayc
Or did he acquire a IulV Fourthsh shave?

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
ARE INVALUABLE
Entitled to Much More Credit
Than Usually Accorded
No. g..

The Waterman referring to
the county newspapers editorially
says: 1t is true that a newspaper
is a business and should be treated
like any other business having ar
ticles of value in exchange for
money. Its reading matter costs
time, labor and money to prepare,
besides the cash outlay for maChin-
cry and material used in it's prepa-
ration. Persons who want to make
their own business known to others
can find no stlrer, more direct or
more effective means than through
the use of space in the local news
paper, and if at all reasonable, they
must expect to pay fair charge
therefor, without in any degree
establishing claim OH the graft
tude of the publisher. TO that cx-
tent the printer gives as much as
he gets, But it is also true that a
country newspaper is a business of
a special character and it does have
special claim on public favor.
While scouting utterly all talk of
'claritv,' it may justly be said
that a newspaper is an agency of
public usefulness, whose promo
OH of the general welfare is con-
slant and helpful in degree seldom
appreciated. Its operation i'll man
fold ways tends to advance the
III crest of the community and i'll
that way to benefit the individual
citizen. In this sense it deserves
the support of every right minded
man whatever his views about its
editor $ politics, religion or other
private affairs may be.

MILWAUKEE, GRADERS
STRIKE STEAM
Scientists Investigating But No
News Has Been Given Out

The strangest experience which
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
Railway company civil engineers
and graders have found in the con-
struction of their entire system in
the west has Just been encountered
OH the grade on Saddle mountains.
north of White Bluffs. Where the
crews have been blasting rock for
the grade on the slope of the NOUN
tains they have frequently found
steam issuing from the Crevices in
the rocks.
The workman paid little atten-
ton to the strange phenomenon
until they learned that spring
giving fourth warm water has ex-
listed for number of years on the
opposite side of the mountain near
the Columbia river. Scientist who
have learned of the matter; have
visited the field but thus far have
given no explanation of the con-
nection of the steam in the rock
cuts and the warm spring on the
opposite side of the hill.
The contractors report all UNI
usual uneasiness among their men,
and large number of foreigners
refuse to be further employed on
the works, contending that there is
grave danger of a volcanic eruption
at any me.-Spokesman Review.

The Potato Special

The Bio Grssde and'8 '8saSs Agri-
cultural college po.ato special
reached here Friday morning and
Wa met at the train BY tho Mod
ern Woodmen band. Fully 500
people turned out for the lectures
delivered by Professors Bennett
and Cotttell and others.
The main points discussed were
seed, cultivation and caring for the
potatoes after digging. All of the
speakers agreed that the first and
most important step was to select
good seed. 1t is not necessary to
send off for your seed potatoes.
First, start in with variety sult-
able and then develop them by
carefully selecting the best hills
some time before digging. 1t is
not necessary that seed potstoes be
fully ripened. and after digging 1t
is we'll to have them lay out in the
sun for time to kill any germs.
Plant small patch with seed 80
selected for your next years crop.
Do not heap potatoes in too large
bins which may cause them to
sweat or sprout, but keep your
seed and also marketable potatoes
in cool, dark place. Light and
air turn them green aud they lose
their flavor. 1t is not we'll to pack
potatoes in sacks, as too much air
comes in contact with them.
Seed potatoes should not be al
lowed to sprout before planting.
A potato that has had sprouts
broken off twice brings up sickly
vine.
Whole potatoes are best for
seed. They bring up a vigorous
vine and in case all of the sprouts
come up, only one or two of the
stronger will survive, the weaker
or small sprouts will w,ther up and
die.
Before planting, the ground
should be in good condition. Deep
plowing is recommended and the
surface of the ground should be
kept loose in order to give the
potatoes plenty Of air. 49, =.
After the potato vinss are we'll
up, the rows should be hilled up
and given plenty Of drainage. Po,
tstoes mature best in soil that 10
quite dry. the roots will go down
for whatever moisture 10 needed.
The be~t climate for potatoes 10
at . good elevation where there 10
plenty Of sunshine and cool nights.
These conditions. with loose soil,
make Colorado, aud especially the
San Luis valley, an ideal place for
the raising Of potatoes aud the
preservation Of them after harvest
inu them.
