Cheap Way to Remove Stumps

A correspondent says that
stumps can be removed ut a cost
of four cents apiece in cash and
Ave minutes in time. The method
is as follows:
With a two-inch auger bore a
hole perpendicularly into the
stump about two feet. Pour into
this hole one pint of a mixture
of equal parts of nitric and sui
phuric acids. Then plug the hole
tightly with a plug dipped in
melted p~arafiue. In thirteen
days a stump so treated will be a
charred pulpy mass, roots and all
and may be spread over the soil IS
! a fertilizer with . shovel.

sand and gravel, which make il
necessary to s a "strainer," to
prevent the sand from filing up
the well. No solid rock was
found. At the depth OF about
fifty feet they found a blue, gum :
my dirt, which was very tough
and hard to get through. This
dirt was nearly fifty feet in
depth and smells very much like
the mud taken from the bottom Of
an old pond. All along in this
blue dirt were found many pieces
of wood, which were branches O.
trees. Even at the very bottom
of the well they came to what the
supposed to be an old log, which
would give down when the drill
struck it. This is not The only

OF interest To Montgomery
City Readers

For months Montgomery City
citizens have seep in these columns
enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kid
ney Pills by Montgomery City
residents. Would these promin-
ent people recommend a remedy
that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their state
ment after years had elapsed, If
personal experience had not
shown the remedy to be worthy
of endorsement? No stronger
proof of merit can be had than
cures that stood the test of time.
The following statement should
carry conviction to the minds of
every Montgomery City reader.

secretions passed too frequently,
contained a sediment and were at
times painful. l was much run
down and felt miserable when
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my attention. They afforded
me prompt relief and | am now

trouble" Statement given in
June, 1867
On Nov. ID, 1908 Mr.. Laird con-
irmed the above statement. He

GREAT DEMONSTRATION FOR

CROWD SWEEP OVER POLICE.
Toilers in Chicago Surrender Their
Privilege to Great Democratic
Leader Air Rent With En-
thusiastic Cheering

Chicago Sept. 8.-Organized labor
yesterday paid a tribute to William J
Bryan. Although it was Labor Day, il
soon became manifest that the workers
had surrendered their privilege and made i
Bryan Day Within an hour after his
arrival in the city the demobratic candi-
date for the presidency y, standing on the
balcony Of the Auditorium, received the
plaudits Of thousand of toilers, as they
marched by in monster labor parade. The
air was rent with cheers and enthusiasm
was unbounded. Not infrequently the
marchers halted before the presidential
candidate, DOTTED their caps and gave
three cheers ''for our next president
Many thus more familiary addressed him
as Bill and william j. A mighty
shout went up as he reached out his
hands and caught a cigar makers union
badge which one of that body threw to
him from the street.
The pleasure which the ovation afforded
Bryan was undisguised.He smiled, smiled
continually, bowed and clapped his hands
always giving the women in the parade
an equal share Of the applause.
So insistent for a speech was the crowd
in front Of the hotel that Bryan yielded
In-the course of brief address, he paid
a tribute to labor, and said he believed in
the observance Of Labor Day. because he
thought we all ought to strive to assist
in dignfying in every possible way the
honest toll upon which our nation properly
rests.
But this was only feature Of the visit
Of the democratic nominee. Following
the parade, he was whisked away in an
automobile to the Iroquois club in COM
pany with and followed by many labor
leaders. There luncheon was spread and
he made short speech The luncheon
concluded, Bryan was conducted to Forest
Park. several miles away, where he was
scheduled to deliver a Labor day address.
There the multitude waited his coming
AS he neared the park the word was
passed around and he got another ovation
as he came in sight. So eager was the
crowd to catch a glimpse Of and to hear
him, that they got beyond control of the
police who were fairly swept off their feet.
Bryan himself had to struggld to make
headway to the pavilion.

England. with her protection to herself,
means to all the other states that buy

see that the New Enland vote is purely
selfish one, the manufacturing interests

$4,000; Massachusetts, $694.000,000;
Vermont. $5700O,00O; Rhode Island.

goods from New England. The savings
banks show: Delaware $6,8l9,077;
Alabama, $1,f02.347; North Carolina,
100000; South Carolina $10.000.000;
Ohio $54,000,000; Indiana. $ll,000,000;
Minnesota. $24.000000. Showing that
these republican states that are the con-
trolling element in this protection which
is SO ruinous to the western people is too

LANDS IN IDAHO
SOON TO Be SOLD
Tulsa Men Bought and Will Sell
About 1000 Acres of Fer
tile King Valley

Miller Hammett of Tulsa has just re-
turned to Tulsa after a two months busi-
ness and pleasure trip over the northwest
ern and Pacific coast states. Most of
this time Mr.. Hammett spent in Idaho,
where he and his father, C. H. Hammett
have undertaken and accomplished avast
irrigation project.
Mr. Hammett has much to tell Of this
interesting project 9oth he and his
father have invested in some 10000
acres in southern Idaho land and in
water rights and machinery to reclaim it
through irrigation. Their investment was
made under what is known as the Carey
Act, an act which has done much to pop
ulate the formerly bad lands Of Idaho
and make them bloom into civilized
homes.
NJ Hammett and his father have form
ed a company known as the King Hill r.
rigation and Power company. C. H. Ham
nett is president. and Miller Hanimett
vice president. The lands Of this com
pany are located in the King Valley,
which is a part Of the justly famous Snake
river valley. They have divided their
holdings into sections and other portions
and will hold a sale OF land on the ground
on October IL. Already their irrigation
and power system is about completed and
will be so on the day of the sale. The
company is building a main water way
20 miles in length and also as many
miles Of feeder bitches, extending to
every part of their holdings. Idaho soil,
when irrigated is by far the best produc-
ing soil in the northwest Mr.. Hammett
says that he met many Missouri and Kan
sas farmers while in Idaho and that they
all told him they could raise more on 40
acres of land in the irrigated districts Of
Idaho than on a section Of their native
soil
The company secures its, water supplies
from the MaIlet river, which they abso-
lutely control This river is but four
miles in length, being a mountain tor
rent. 1t falls as much as $50 feet in the
course of a mile. The King Hill company
has purchased land rights the entire
length of this stream and so control all
its water rights, which MrHammett says,
is four times as great as their land hold
ings require to irrigate them.
This stream furnishes its own pumping
power. At the foot Of falls the COM
pany has built a power house which is
run by water power. producing electricity
to run the pumps which force water into
their irrigation bitches. They have chang
ed the entire course Of this river, running
it into big fiume which extends over
the Snake river and to their bitches, thus
cutting water from that stream, Owing
to the force of its flow the water in the
Mallet river never freezes. Inc big fiume
is enclosed and extends to the King Val
ley holdings. which are several hundred
feet lower than any valley in Idaho. Be
sides this the property is protected from
the north winds, so even frosts are un-
known. Excursions will run from allover
the west to the scene of this sale and
many investors will no doubt 60 from

manufacturing and other industries Of
New England had secured all of the tariff
protection needed. they Immediately in
augurated, through secret agents, stores
all over these states known as manufac-
turing centers. Then they filled these
places with strike-breakers from among
the poor French settlers of eastern Canada,
at the lowest possible living wages. The
city Of Lewiston, Maine, in very few
years increased its population from 9,000
to 10000, which increase was mostly
these poor French that had been shipped
in to take the places Of sttiking Ameri-
cans. The result has been the lowest
wages and absolute control Of the vote Of
each Of these states by hemanufacturing
interests, and they do this by making
these ignorat foreigners believe that their
only salvation is the protection inaugu-
rated and maintained by the republican
party, which has its strong hold in New
England through the workings Of this sys-

order to make doubly sure the republican
victory in these states, Italians and Poles
