Steamer Burns At Dock.

Stockton, CAL, July 9.-The steam
er Isleton, of the California Trans
portation company, valued at $780,
900, burned to the waters edge at her
dock here early today. The entire
cargo had been removed before the fire
started. There was no insurance on
the vessel. The fire started in the
after hold, where it could not be got
at, owing to its location and the dense
smoke. The city firemen saved tanks
containing 5000 gallons of crude oil.

lngtOn, at Point Of Death.
TAKES RAPID TURN FOR WORSE
Enters New York Hospital for Slight
Operation and While Recover
ing Pneumonia Sets in.

New York, July S.-Congressman
Francis W. Cushman, who has been i'll
in Roosevelt hospital for 10 days. was
IN critical condition last night, and
at midnight the authorities of the hos
pltal held out little hope of his recoy-
cry. They in fact said he was so low
1t was doubtful if he would survive the
night.
Mr.. Cushman entered the hospital on
June Il to undergo an operation for
the removal of an abcess in his neck.
The operation, which was a slight
one, was successful, but before he re-
covered from it pneumonia develoved.
The disease reached the critical stage
yesterday, and, contrary to the expec-
tations Of all, it took rapid turn for
the worse.
Francis W. Cushman was born Nav
8, 1867, at Brighton, Ia, and was edu-
Gated at the local high school and at
Pleasant View academy. In order to
aid in paying his tuition there he work.
ed during the summer vacation as
water boy" on railroad construction
work. On completing his education at
the academy the future congressman
worked for some time as section hand
on local railroads, until at the age of
16 he moved to Wyoming. There he
remained for five years. being a cow
boy on ranch, ''handy man" in a
lumber camp, and also school teacher.
During this period he took up the study
of law, reading by himself, with but
little outside aid.
At the close of this time he moved
to Nebraska, and was admitted to both
the District and Supreme bar. He re-
mained there until 1891, when he went
West again, settling in Tacoma, which
has since been his permanent home.
Prior to his election to congress he held
no Offices of any kind, and made his
living entirely by his legal practice.
In 1898 Mr.. Cushman was nominated
by the Republicans for congress. Since
that time he has been without opposi-
tion in his own party, and has been
elected by overwhelming majorities at
each succeeding election, and is now
serving his sixth term.

Downieville, CAL, July 3.-Almost
every night for more than a week
earthquake shocks have been expert
enced here, and their frequency has
caused considerable uneasiness. Since
the rather severe tremblor of June 21
there have been frequent lighter
shocks, most of them sufficiently per-
ceptible to awaken people. People
living at Poker fiat say Mount Fillmore
is the seat of the disturbance. That
country has reported some of these
quakes as being quite severe. Earth

rsy FARMING CONGRESS.
..,hods of Increasing Crop Output
Will Be Discussed.

The Dry Farming congress is now
.-r.nized. with some persistency ano
Sassrmipation to be heard from in the
Utter of urging its claims upon the
...sntiop of the public. The faith that
80 nromoters and operators of this
sssoeiation ~ have in their claims of dry
farming methods, well carried out,
.snnot be questioned, says the editor
- The Twentieth Century Farmer. Tn,
sx.eriepces and results of careful ant
usrsistent work in crop growing effort
ars The evidence that is offered in tes
,;mopy of the feasibility Of dry farm
mo methods and dry farming as an in
dustry.
II is not surprising that there ar,
,be doubtful, the skepticsl, the unbe
lever in converting the dry land of tn,
arid West to agricultural purposes, the
growing of crops, the cultivation Of
richards and forests, the establishing
of homes and the building up of com.
mereial interests and industries OF
these lands; we say that it is not sur.
prising that some hesitate, that they
aoubt the availability of sufficient
moisture to grow crops; that they fore
east seasons of drouth. etc. All these
things had their period and have exert
ed their influence to discourage and
preiudice the mind of the public as the
settlement of the country has pro
Oressed westward for the last fifty
years, and yet cultivation has been the
ciyilizing influence that has conquered
drouth, hot winds and the barrenness
Of the plains and prairie countries that
are now the dependence in production.
The Fourth Dry Farming congress
will hold its meeting at Billings. Mon
tana, October 26, 27 and %, 1909.
This will not only be an institute for
dry farming farmers and dry farming
instructors and tescners, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products
such as this or no other country has
ever witnessed. There are pledged al
ready exhibits from thirteen Western
states that are engaged in dry farming
work. The organization by states, to
show what each is doing and capable
Of doing in the raising of grain and
vegetable crops, without irrigation, is
feature never before undertaken in
this district and promises some great
surprises for visitors.
The area of tillable lands in the
United States not yet turned to culti-
vation is comparatively small, and un-
der present conditions of demand by
the homesteader will last but few
more years at most. 1t is only the part
Of good business judgment that the
dry farming districts be investigated
by those who contemplate getting
home under the free homestead law.
Good lands and the best locations will
be the first taken. Each year will re-
duce the quality of lands to be disposed
Of as government homesteads.
The Dry Farming congress will be
agood place to visit next October, in
view of getting dry farming informa-
lion and dry farms on which to put it
into practice. The Dry Farming con-
gress announces that there are 200,-
100000 acres of arabic land awaiting
development by the dry farming meth

An EMPTY OBJECTION.

State Senator Davenport i'm a recent speech
on direct nominations made the point. in reply To
those who object that the Republican state pla5-
form Of last year contained no Endorsement Of
the direct system. that neither did the Repub-
lcan national platform call for a corporation
tax. Vet when the President recommended such
a tax il became a party measure. much
nearer case in point can be found. The Repnb-
lican state platform of 1906. when Governor
Hughes was first elected. contained not word
about the regulation of public service corpora
lions. There was not a-hint I'm IL that remotely
foreshadOwed the Public Service Commissions
legislation. Yet the first act of Governor
lIughes's administration was the recommends
ton Of such legislation and his recommendation
made il a party measure. Moreover, the pas
sage OF the law has been the chief stock i'm
trade of the Republican party i'm this state ever
since. Nor did the platform Of 1906 contain Il
word about the gambling law as being i'm spirit
a violation of the state constitution. Yet when
! a year later Governor Hughes recommended his
antigambling legislation that recommendation
was Republican doctrine. The people made
support Of the Governor in that matter strict
test or Repubcanism. and most of the Repub-
mean Senators who ventured TO oppose the Gov
ernor were severely disciplined
To argue against the Hughes plan of direct
nominations because the platform of 1905 did
NOT declare in favor of direct nominations is To
waste breath or ink. Expedency. not platforms
governs in such cases. If tn people want direct
nominations il will make not a particle of diff
ference what the platform of 1908 said or omit
ted 10 say. The Republicans in the legislature
will give them the Hughes system as soon AS
public sentiment Enthusiastically declares itself I'm
favor OF that system. We do not think the peopIe
have signfea their desire yet. though there
