FROM TAFT'SSP Speech
TRY To FOLLOW POLICIES OF
ROOSEVELT'S.
Says Change Is Required in Monetary
and Banking Laws-Upbuild Army
Canal-Conservatio of National Re
sources-For Postal Savings Banks

President Taft begins his administra-
tion with a deficit in revenue FOR the
current fiscal year of $1O0, O0O, 900, in
abiding to which he says that should
it be impossible to overcome this
through the tariff new kinds of taxa
tion must be adopted. Among these
he recommends a graduated inheritance
tax as correct in principle and easy of
collection.
In further comment on the immigra-
ton question, clearly with reference to
Jap troubles on the Pacific coast, the
new president followed the lines of
Roosevelt IS policy in regard to substi-
tuting federal control for state aurnor-
ity in these matters.
One of the reforms named by Taft
to be carried out during his admins
tration is a change of the monetary
and banking laws, and in accomplish
ing this he places confidence in the
work of the monetary commission ap-
pointed to investigate the financial sys--
TENS of Europe and formulate plan
for the United States
In other respects Taft Is announce
ment of policy closely follows the ideas
of Roosevelt. He urged conservation
of natural resources; upbuilding of the
army and navy 20 a degree that will
give all possible assurance of peace and
find the nation prepared for war if
war comes; and noninterferenee with
the work of completing the Panama,
canal. At the present rate of progress
be prophesied that this, the greatest
undertaking of modern times, would
be completed early in the next admin
istration if not before.
The incoming congress, the new
president declared, should fulfill the
republican promise of passing a postal
savings bank bill, arguing that the
promise to repay by the government
will furnish an indBeement to savings
. deposits which private enterprise
can not supply, at such low rates as
not TO withdraw custom from existing
banks, and will substantially increase
the funds available for investment as
capital in useful enterprises.

early varieties of strawberries, sucn
as Clarks Seeding, Warfeld and
Bederwood will give us the best re-
suits of the strawberry group. Late
maturing, late fruiting varieties
should be eliminated entirely.
There are several plants that should
be carefully tested by everybody who
lives in these dry sections where fruit
is difficult to obtain, or it is impos-
sible to grow it. Among these plants
L will call your attention to the Stub
bleberry, commonly known as the
Night Shade berry. This is a mem
Der of the tomato or potato family
which produces small, purple black
berries in clusters, and when carefully
prepared makes excellent sauce or pie
material.
Another plant that is closely related
to this stubbleberry is the old
fashioned ground cherry. This car
be grown with the minimum amount OF
moisture, and makes an excellent sub
stitute in many ways for fruits anc
for many of the tender fruits which
it is almost impossible to grow.
Another interesting plant is known
as the Garden Pomegranate, which il
a close relative of the muskmelon, bu
produces fruit about the sic of ;
medium sized apple and which, wheI
cooked or prepared as sauce, Is al
excellent fruit plant.
These are plants that are perfect,
hardy and will grow in almost an,
section of the country where grass o
grain will grow, and should be uset
where it is impossible to grow tn

IRRIGATION CONGRESS ADVICE
F. w. Blackman of Kansas Give Good
Instructions.

EITHER cooperative state laws or
federal law will eventually regulate
the water supply, not by the riparian
rights nor by the priority right. but by
the equitable distribution of water in
the irrigated districts -
F. W Blackman of Lawrence, re-
gent of the University of Kansas, lays
emphasis upon the foregoing in let
ter to the board of control of the 18th
National Irrigation Congress, of which
George z. Barstow Of Barstow, Texas,
is president. He suggests that the con-
gress. which viii meet IN Spokane
August TO IA. as well as future gath
erings. should be scientific associations
for the solution of specific problems.
G. L. shumway's Ideas.

lation OF department rulings are pre-
scented bv 6. L. Subway of Scottsbluff

mittee of the American Irrigation Fed

New York, April lit is verbally an

ton of the purchase price was made in
stock of the International Smelling &
Refining company and The remainder in

under way since the first OF the year
and within thirty days seven mites of

local offices, where they are attracting
considerable attention. No less than eight
feet of ore from the deepest workings is
now being mined and hauled over the hill

This ore runs from $50 TO $50 per ton

were now coming from the company s
Magnolia holdings, and that il was prob
able that, in the near future, a tramway
would be constructed TO handle the ore
between the property and the mill. dis
tauCe of something like three miles, as
the haul by wagon is slow and costly in
comparison with what il ought to be. Up
TO short time ago the company has al
lowed leaSeTS TO work the Magnolia, as
the main ore bodies, that had proven so
productive in surface workings during the
early history of the mine, had not been
opened up at depth Now that the ore
has been tapped below and the ledge is
proving strong and rich, the company
will pay every attention TO its farther
development, with the idea that it will
soon prove a most important unit in the
productive capacity OF the company s
mines.
The Bamberger-DeLamar company has
been producing at the rate of about $4,000
a month gross, for some time past. and
now that the Magnolia gives such SPLEEN
