Expected Outcome Of Referendum OF
Chicago Street Car Men.
Chicago, Aug. All furloughs in
the police department have been can
celled and every man ordered back to
Guty following the action of the en-
ployes of the Chicago street railways
in deciding to hold a referendum vote
Thursday on a proposition to call a
general strike.
Such action would affect all the sur
face lines in the city and suburbs and
would practically tie up street car
traffic.
From the expressions of the en-
ployes at their mass meetings at
which the referendum YVES decided
upon it appears to be certain they
will vote to strike. This was indi-
Gated in the bitter addresses of all
the speakers and by the unanimous
rejection of the offer of the Chicago
City Railway company to arbitrate
wage differences or to sign new agree
ments with the men under existing
conditions. i

SENATE AGREES
ON Time OF VOTE
Will Act on Tariff Confer
ence Report Thursday.
DEMOCRATS GIVE NOTICE

Southern Senator'S Intend to Make
: Diligent Effort to Have Cotton Bag.
ging Placed on the Free List-Re.
publican Leaders Now Confident
That the Report Will Receive Ap,
prevail Of Senate.
Washington, Aug. 4,-The tariff con.
ference report will be voted on in the
senate at 2 p. m. Thursday. An agree.
ment to this effect was reached in
the senate at the conclusion of a
speech by Senator Clapp. The unani.
nous consent agreement was reached
on motion of Senator Bailey.
An effort vas made by informal con.
ference to agree upon 8 p. m. We'd
nesday as the time at which a vote
should be taken, but some senators
feared that all of the speeches to be
made could not be completed by that
hour and, therefore, It was regarded
as the better plan to have the vote
Thursday.
In reaching the agreement Senator
Bailey intimated that there would be
considerable discussion of the pro.
posed concurrent resolution to correct
the hide and leather paragraph. This
suggestion was endorsed by Senator
Bacon, who said that several senators
might desire to correct other para
graphs.
This remark was interpreted to
mean that the minority would make
diligent effort to have cotton bag
ging placed IN the free list at the
same time the duties on boots, shoes,
harness and saddlery would be low
cred.

Addresses were delivered by Colonel

Governor Johnson's Address,
Governor Johnson was then intro
duced. He said in part:
"The time has come for the West
to throw off the shackles of the
East. I would preach no sectional
divisions and 10 sectional %strifes, but
Minnesota and Washington and the
states between them, with these to
the south of us, should arise in their
might and claim for themselves that
fair share OF influence in the halls of
congress and in the administration of
national affairs to which are entitled
by every law of common sense, as
we'll as of political economy.
I'VE, as an integral part of the
American people, should cast our In
fluence and our votes not only to ad-
vance the material interests of our
own particular section, but we should
be broad enough and big enough to
labor for the common good of our
common country.
"We have in the states west Of the
Mississippi the undoubted balance of
power. no matter under what name
the national administration at Wash
ington exists. In the years that have
passed population and u mate
rial wealth have not enjoyed that rep
resentation to which they are entitled,
and, furthermore, our leaders have
been content to follow in no small
measure the leadership of men who
represent relatively small constitusn.
Cies and smaller commonwealths."
The speaker declared that the call
of the West, among other things, is
the call for emancipation from the
dominion Of the trusts and political
machine. He denounced what he
called fifty years of national folly in
the enactment of navigation laws and
high protective tariffs" and declared
that the great army Of Western yeo-
men demand no fostering hand Of gov.
eminent and ask only for that justice
and freedom to which they are en-
titled Ivy natural right under the guar.
anty Of our constitution and our flag"

DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE
Conferences Report ON Tariff Bill Un.
der Consideration.


der Consideration.
Washington. Aug. 4.-No sooner had
the senate convened than the mem.
bers were reminded Of the disturbance
over the leather schedule of the tar.
if bill. The subject was introduced
by Senator Culberson, who, referring
TO the decision of the conference com.
tmittee to bring in a joint resolution
r%emodeling the leather provision, gave
:notice that when the time came he
would present an amendment putting
cotton bagging on the free list.
Without attempting to enter into a
discussion of the subject Mr.. Cul
berson reminded senators that the
senate had already taken action on a
similar proposition and he intimated
that it would be no stretch of con-
science to repeat the former action.
That the decision with reference
to leather had a %reassuring effect was
made evident by the placid counte-
lance of the Republican leaders when
they entered the senate chamber.
Senator Aldrich expressed confidence
that the bill would now go through
without further difficulty and that
even the so-called range" senators,
who have been the most strenuous adj
vocates of a duty or hides, were in.
clined to Join in this expression of
confidence. While not entirely pleased
that leather and leather goods are to
receive any protection the grange SEN
ators were not unmindful Of the con
cession that had been made and for
the first time announced an intention
to vote for the bill. A few of the
insurgents were still displeased, but it
was evident that most Of them would
fall into line on the final roundup.
Senator c.app Objects.
Objection was made by Senator
Clapp to the provision of the maxi.
mum and minimum clause. dating from
April 80 the six months notice of an
abrogation of commercial treaties con-
dieting with the duties provided in the
tariff bill. MI. Aldrich replied that
such notices had been given foreign
governments three months ago.
The tariff commission clause Of the
BILL, as changed by the conferees. be-
came a subject Of much explanation
when Mr.. Newlands arose and ques-
toned the chairman Of the finance
committee concerning the. paragraph.
Asked whether that provision would
empower the president to obtain the
cost of production Of manufactured ar
ticles at home and abroad Mr.. Aldrich
replied that in his judgment the pro-
vision would not only do that, but
was actually broader In its authority
than the senate paragraph which it
replaced.
Announcing that he could not con-
scientiously vote for the conference
report Mr.. Clapp said: "After we I'M
dertook revision Of the tariff as a re-
suit Of a demand by the consumers,
q force for the first time began to
arise, not for profession, but for profit
to intensity profit.
RefeNing to his course in antago-
mixing the tariff bill Mr.. Clapp declared
that the Republicanism Of himself and
those who agreed with him had been
called into question. II am willing to
submit my. Republicanism." he said.
ito the only tribunal capable Of de-
termining ito the people Of my

The Potato for the Market.

No food plant is so universally used
in civilized countries as the potato.
There are probably more than one
thousand varieties of potatoes grown
each year, yet so little is known about
quality and varieties in potatoes that
many markets know but two types or
kinds of potatoes, the red and the
fruits demand certain varieties and a
certain quality in these fruits, so that
some varieties bring more than twice
>as much per unit on the market as other
varieties. The difference in quality is
just as great in varieties and types of
potatoes as in fruits. This difference is
becoming recognized so that some mar
kets are demanding high quality of
potetoes at high price.
The most desirable potato for shape
and size for all purposes is oblong,
round, or kidney shaped, and it should
weigh ten to fourteen ounces. The
eyes should be shallow. Nearly all the
protein of the potato and a large part

tuber. If the eyes are deep. the tuber
irregular in form, the loss from pairing
will be from thirty to fifty per cent OF
the food of the tuber.
The skin of the potato should be
tough, so as to withstand the rough
handling which potatoes receive in get.
ting from the grower to the consumer.
Some of the highest quality have thir
skins. These should be handled ii
small crates or boxes. In this way
some OF the growers of Colorado are
receiving considerably more for the pro,
duct than the general market, ever
after the expense of handling and the
box is taken out.

Irrigation.

The details of irrigation, manner of
to be described. But there are few
simple points which are essential to
success. First do not irrigate potatoes
up if it can possibly be avoided. Wet
ting the land at this time is very likely
to bring on attacks of disease which
will result in poor stand and serious
injury to the plants throughout the
growing season.
Ordinarily the first irrigation should
not be given until the tubers are set.
If the tubers have a chance to form in
a comparativelf dry soil, the majority
of them will be formed at one time;
then when water is applied all will
have an equal chance to develop; the
result should be a crop of even sized
potatoes.
The water should always run shallow
in the burrows, never deep enough to
stand around the tubers, but sufficient
amount applied 80 that the moisture
may seep up into the ridges. In this
way the soil about the growing tubers
may be kept damp but not soggy.
This is the ideal condition for the po-
tato plant, but unfavorable for the
growth of potato diseases.
An effort should be made to keep the
soil moisture uniform by frequent light
irrigations. If the ground is allowed
to become dry, the growth of the tu-
bers is checked; then when water is
again applied second growth starts in,
which results in nobs and irregular
growths. The tubers of some varieties
crack badly under this treatment.
1t is essential that the potatoes
should mature in comparatively dry

soil. If the soil is kept wet until har-
vest time, the tubers contain an excess
of moisture and this necessarily re-
suits in poor quality. Then, too, po-
tatoes dug when the soil is wet present
a poor appearance on the market, be-
cause of the quantity of soil which is
bound to stick to them.
In order to have the soil in proper
condition at digging time, and the po-
tatoes of the best quality, it is neces-
sary to stop irrigation three or four
weeks before the usual time for frost.
