AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Warehouseman Convicted of Sell
ing Grain Stored in His
House Without Consent

W. j. Henzell, who was arrest
ed last summer for disposing of
grain as a warehOuseman without
the consent of The owner Of the
grain, was convicted in the Dis
trict Court at Lewiston last Sat
Iurday and will be sentenced some
time tomorrow. This case has
been one Of much Importance to
the farmers Of this section of the
country, not so much because it
was Henzell nor on account of the
amount Of grain which he had dis
posed of, but because Of the les
son it will teach to such men as
Henzell and the protection it will
afford the farmers in the future.
That there has been an effort to
discourage the farmers from 60
ing into business Of this sort in the
past has been indicated on various
occasions. The principle object
for so doing was to give few
a greater monopoly and enable
them to exact q greater profit on
the products Of the farmer in this
section of the state. Failing in
one way to accomplish their pur-
pose, they naturally undertake
some different means. The law
was intended to protect the pro-
Queer in just such cases and this
test of the law will be Of far
reaching Importance. The law,
while having been enacted sew
eral years ago, has never been
tested before in this section of the
state.-Nezperce Herald.

HOW TO FIT LAND FOR ALFALFA
Question Answered by Prof. Sever
ance of Washington State
College

1t is usually best to pillow in the
fall, leaving the burrows rough over
winter, in order to secure the benefits
of weathering, and to permit the set
Ting of the burrows by the action of
the fall and winter rains. This also
encourages the early termination OF
weed seeds, so that the soil may be
partially cleaned out of foul stuff
in the spring preparation of the soil
for seeding.
AS soon as the soil is fit to work
in the spring, the surface should be
given light working in order to
form a mulch to conserve the moist
ure and to smooth the surface of the
burrows to encourage the germina-
ton of weed seeds that lie near the
surface. The amount of cultivation
must be determined by the condition
OF the soil, but should be sufficient
TO work up a good mulch of loose
earth. Deep cultivation is not desir-
able. Up to the first day of May the
land should be given sufficient cult.
vation to preserve the mulch, and to
prevent weeds from securing toe
much of start. About the first OF
May the final preparation for seed
ing should be given.
If the surface has been well work
ed prior to the first of May, little
more than a single narrowing may
be needed, but the aim should be to
secure a well pulyerized seed bed OF
two or three inches depth with the
bottom of the furrow left firm. In
case of spring blowing, the firm ing
of the furrow may be brought about
by the use of a roller, planker, OF
other compacting tool.
Western Washington soils seem to
require incubation for successful
alfalfa production. This Is the best
accomplished by narrowing in at the
final preparation for seeding, a light
sprinkling of soil taken from some
old alfalfa field where the crop has
grown successfully.

Northwest Mining News

Experts estimate that Shoshone
county, Idaho, alone has produced
in mineral wealth
since the discovery of the silver-lead
mines in the Occur d'Alene.
On 100000 in capital the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan mine at Ward
ner has paid $11,151,000 in divi-
dends, a return of 371 per cent.
Only one mine in Idaho has ever
done better, and that was the De-

VARSITY BOAT RACE
UNIVERSITY or PENsYLvANIA DE-
 FEATs YALE.
Thfs Was The First Race Between The Two Universities In Twenty Yesrs-Rewed Against
 wind.

Philadelphia. April 1o--In the hrst boat race between the two universities in twenty years. the University of Pen sylvania eight pared crew defeated Yale this afternoon by two lengths over the one half course on thz Schuylkiie river. The crews rowed against three quar- ters head wind the entire distance and under these circumstances the time or eight minutes. five seconds was very good.
 Yale reversed matters in tho prelir- mary race for second eights, the Elfs winning from the Pennsylvania juniors by one quarter length in SIP z-b. Yale for the first time used an English shell history of rowing on the Schuylikill has such a crowd Of such magniture wit messed boat race
 The race for the Varsity eights was delayed until after i've o'clock to Ter the wind calm down. Both crews got an exceptionally good start, the Yale men getting their oars into the water a fraction of second ahead of Penn sylvania. The Ellis started with stroke of .s4 to the minute while Penn, syiyania rowed 32. Before the crews tage of a few feet The Yale men were rowing shorter stroke than the Quakers and seemed to be using up more energy than was necessary. The Pennsylyania shell was cutting through the water more steadily than the Yale boat which was momentariiy checked at the end of each stroke. At the end of the first half mile Pennsyi- variia was half length ahead of Yale and the latter hit their stroke up to Se, Pennsylvania raising hers to 34. The ov.A I,sa %A n a n al the mile open water began to show be- tween the two shells. In an effort to overtake Pennsylvania Captain Howe hit up the Yale stroke to 3s, Pennsyl- vania still being content with 34, Yale spurted on the next quarter of mile and for few strokes managed to hold Pennsylvania. Then the Quakers. hit- ting up their stroke, kept drawing away. A quarter mile from the finish Yale made final effort and ran her stroke up to forty. Pennsylvania re- sponded with a stroke of 3s, which her crew held to the finish while Yale ran hers up to 42. Pennsylvania crossed the finish with a length of open water between the two shells Yale was a strong fayorite before the contest started. 5
 Yale won the race for second eights almost as handily as Pennsylvania did the Varsity struggle. The Yale Juniors assumed command of the situation al- most at the start and foot by foot in- creased their lead over the Quaker youngsters. crossing the line with a quarter of a length of open water be- tween the shelis.
 Tn the Varsity race Yale had the west bank which was supposed to- be better than in the direction of the wind. But in the race for second eights Pennsylvania had the west bank. In each case the crew with the sup posedly poorer course won. so that the results proved in each instance that the better crewShad won.
