In delivering his speech Senator
Dolliver has won the temporary en-
nifty of Leader Aldrich. To say
that he has won Aldrich's last OPP
position would be doing an injus-
tice to the character of Aldrich.
Aldrich does not cherish personal
animosities. These, with all 9th
er things, subordinate themselves
to the ends toward which he
strives. II he needs man he goes
after him. His feelings play no
part. 1t is the method of the
briber. He is suave, keen, shrewd.
He has an excellent memory. He
has experience at his command. He
has resource; and for many years
he has commanded influence,
money, power. He is a dangerous
man. No matter what the future
may bring forth, Senator Dolliver
is entitled to much credit for his
courage in what he has recently
done to him.

WIDOWS DAMAGE
SUIT ON
TRIAL

The 100000 damage suit
brought by Christiana Christrom
against the city of Tacoma, as a
result of her husbands accidental
electrocution on February 1, was
in progress today before Superior
Judge A. j. Shackleford and a
jury of twelve men. The acct
dent occurred at the Younglove
grocery store, 1894 Pacific avenue,
the victim receiving nearly LOO
volts and dying two hours later.
He left two children besides the
wife. The plaintiff alleges that
the tragedy was due to careless
and non-insulated wiring.

Why not a toy power boat
boys and girls? They're as easy
as falling off log.
You might try the Mississippi
packet" first. It's simplest.
Take. thin piece of board
about four inches wide and eight
or ten long, and with a SHARP
jackknife white one end of II
down to blunt point. That's
the bow of your boat.
In the center of the stern-the
/, three-quarters Of an inch wide and
two inches long. Then take two
pieces of wood, one-half inch wide
by one and one-half inches long
and notch them in the center SC
they will dovetail together and
make your paddle wheel.
Now take a stout rubber band
and fit the paddle wheel together
over the center of it-so an equal
length hangs out on each side.
Drive a small nail through the CEN
ter of the wheel to make both
blades secure.
Notch the outsides Of the stern,
on line with the center of the
hole you have cut in 1t. Slip in
the paddle wheel and throw the
loops over the notches. Twist the
wheel on its rubber band axle
around backwards as far as you
think the strength of the rubber
will permit.
Holding the wheel tightly, drop
into the water you want to sail
your Mississippi packet on. Re-
lease the wheel and away she'll
|sail-until the rubber band un-
winds. Then wind it up and
start her off again-and so on.
You may find that the weight
of the paddle lifts the bow of your
packet out of the water. If you
want to overcome that, make a lit
tie cabin of cardboard or an old
cigar box, and set it up near the
bow.
Now for the bigger and more
complicated boat:
White out a boat shape along
the lines of your packet out of a
thick piece of wood. Then cut a
big round hole the size of an ordi-
nary paper mailing tube in the
center Gig. -. Through each
side and into the big hole, bore
two holes half an inch in diameter
Gig. p.
Next cut a round piece of wood
Gig. 81 little less than half an
inch in diameter, and long enough
to project an inch or SO beyond
each side of the boat, when thrust
through the small hole Gig. p.
This is going to be your propeller

For the first time in the 80

This comment by an old resi-.

by the recent speech of Senator
Jonathan Dolliver of Iowa.
Nothing like it has been seen in

gripped him, as it were, by the
scuff of his neck and shook him
until every tooth in his head rat

down and let him start to walk

gave him another shake. He

Senator Dolliver talked tariff.
What he said sounded sensational
because he spoke the simple truth.
He told how lobbyists and special

them today. Only he named names
and handed out figures. He ex-

Puck: Clifford Pinchot, chief for
ester Of the United States, denies
that the forests have been managed
in spirit above the law. He as
serts there was good ground in the
law, either in decision or statute,
for everything which his department
did. True, beyond likelihood Of
doubt. Our laws ordinarily are so
poorly enforced that when a man
like Pinchot comes along and en-
forces them to their full strength, it
looks to many as if he had exceeded
his authority, instead of simply as
serting it honestly and fearlessly.

CLEANING AND GRADING SEED WHEAT.
Notes Furnished by the Farmers In
StituteS.

Selection of seed: Most farmers
appreciate the value of good live
stock. They select their best ami
mails for breeding and market the
others. They know good animals
will give them better returns and
more vigorous offspring than will
the weaker ones. Few appreciate
this same principle as applied to the
selection ofNseed grain, and yet the
principles are as applicable and ne
cessary to good grain raising as to
good stock raising.
A bin of grain may be compared
to a herd of cattle, and superior
individuals may be selected from
the bin of grain as we'll as from the
herd of cattle. Individual kernels
of grain vary as much in ability to
produce good or poor offspring as
do individual animals. The heavy,
plump seeds were produced IN most
cases upon the strongest and most
vigorous plants, and the light,
shrunken seeds from the weaker and
less vigorous plants. THAT like
produces like" is a well-known axi-
ON in animal breeding, and the in
fuence Of heredity is as strong in
plant life as in plant life. Improve
ment can be effected only by breed
ing from the strongest individuals.
Hence there is as much reason for
selecting good Individual seeds of
grain as for selecting good individ-
ual animals.

weight seeds: A COW in good con-

Minnesota has been heard from at

show, to the extent of capturing
second prize in the shorthorn herd
competition, for the St. Anthony
school herd, Kansas winning first
and Nebraska third. 1t is somewhat
significant that whereas the exhibit
made by St. Anthony farm school at
the livestock shows the past years
have been a leading feature, this
year the state agricultural colleges
of Kansas and Missouri appear to be
taking most Of the honors. Which
suggests that the plea of the state
bankers for a strong dean for our
state agricultural college was timely
and should be acted upon as soon as
possible.

The switchman' strike last week

The switchman's strike last week
was the theme of conversation
everywhere. While opinions differ
ed widely, the majority appeared to
be rather unsympathetic with the
switchmen in their attitude of de-
handing $3.50 per day of ten hours
and refusing to accept proposition
Of the employing roads to arbitrate.
The demand of double pay for Sun
day work, however, seems justif-
able. That the strikers touched the
commercial world in tender spot is
indicated by the admission in the
Minneapolis dailies that the city
could not count on more than a
week supply of coal on hand even
on warm weather basis, and one
can imagine that out in the Dakotas,
away from the Ignite fields, a bitter
cold snap might bring about tragic
results, in case the strike is not
broken soon. 1t is up to some states
man to immortalize himself by get
ting law enacted that will render

A more promising scheme of loco
motion than the flying machines is
the mono-railroad, if the results Of
some recent demonstrations by the
inventorl are to be credited. Dis
counting largely the claims of the
inventor that he will succeed in safe
ly driving ascoach 100 feet in length
and 20 feet in width at 200 miles an
hour while travellers are making
continental journey in a hotel on
wheels, we have no reason to despair
of the scheme being practical to the
extent of greatly cheapening and in
creasing the present speed of passen-
ger transportation. The British
government is said to be taking
great interestssin the invention, the
inventor being an Englishman named
Brennan. A strong point in the
system.is that the single rail can be
put down rapidly over uneven
ground with but a slight expenditure
of labor'as compared with the pres
ent two-rail system. and that bridges
would be correspondingly inexpen-
sive, a single wire cable being all
that is necessary for temporary
work. Surely, the world do move,
and at swift pace at that.
