EXPERT ON ALFALFA
ADVISES GROWERS
Says That First and Second Cuttings
Should BE Kept Separate and
Higher Prices Will Be Got.

Editor Herald:-A / sell a great
deal of hay in the course of a year.
1 am in position to know just how the
trade requires the hay in every re-
spect-especially alfalfa.
1t has been the custom for many
years for farmers when they COM
mence to stack their second cutting of
alfalfa, to pile it on top of the first
cutting, and from my experience in
the hay business here in Seattle, this
is a mistake. l have a great many
customers that prefer first cutting al
falfa for horse feed, as substitute
for high priced timothy and these Gus
toners do not want second cutting
at any price, as they claim it is not
good for horse feed; while dairymen
and those using alfalfa for COW feed
do not want first cutting, as they claim
1t is too coarse and the COWS will not

two cuttings are stacked, baled and
shipped separately.
l have had more trouble with the
different cuttings being in the same
car the past year than ever before
as the people are finding out by ex-
perience what cuttings of alfalfa are
best suited to their needs. So thought
this was the proper time to give this
information to the editors of the diff
ferent papers in the Yakima Valley

ers will agree with me that stacking
the different cuttings separately and
shipping them that way would very

Expert Accountant Finishes Auditing
Books-New Head of Concern
Ordering Steel Rails.

r. S. Patterson of the American
Audit company of Spokane who has
been in the city for the last three
weeks auditing the books of the Yaki-
ma Transportation company will
leave soon, his work here having been
concluded. He announces that the
books of the concern are in excellent
shape. Mr.. Paterson was brought
here by M. n. Richards who has ar
ranged to take over the concern.
No announcement of the details Of
the transfer have been made as yet.
but it is understood that the present
local stockholders are to receive dol
lar for dollar for their stock. This ap-
plies to the stock that was assigned
to the trustees as well as that which
was not. There have been some ru-
mors to the effect that six per cent in
terest would be paid in addition to
the par value of the stock, but Mr..
Richards is at present out of the city
and the present members of the cor
poration refuse to talk, so the rumor
could not be verified.
Extensions at Once.
Mr.. Richards is an attorney in Per
dleton and it is understood that he IS
in Pendleton now but will return the
latter part of the week. Credence 1.
placed in the report that he will have
placed an order for steel rails 70
some fifteen miles of extension for tn,
present system before his return. I.
is believed that these extensions will
cover franchises that are to expire
this fall and that work on both ends
of the system will be inaugurated i'm
mediately
The idea generally prevails that the
new owners while not a part of the
North Coast railroad proper, are
nevertheless closely associated with
the Strahorn interests. 1t is further
understood that the Strahorn power
plant will continue to furnish the
power for the operation of the sys-
tenn. Those most closely associated
with Mr.. Strahorn in this city only
look wise when his connection with
the deal is intimated at is safe to say
that the two interests are friendly"
said one of them recently.

WISE MEN ARE BAD POLITICIANS
Importance of West Overlooked by
Leaders, Who Risk Grief by
Dangerous Rule or Ruin Stand.
(Raymond in Chicago Tribune)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June lot
is strange that the eastern leaders
do not seem to appreciate the great
political Importance of the nearly
solid front presented by the senators
from the states just tributary to Chi
cago. New England men have run
the tariff for so long a time that they
do not take into consideration any of
the rest of the country except as
means of trading off SO as to secure
the highest rates on their own sched-
ules.
Most of the eastern senators are abb
solutely ignorant of the west. Few
of them ever go beyond the Alleghen-
les and when they do, it is often in
private car. They stop at a few hotels
in the big cities, but are ignorant and
unconscious of the extent to which
the west has begun to dominate the
politics of the country.
With a western president, a western
secretary of the treasury, a western
war secretary, and secretary of COM
merce and labor, secretary of agricul-
ture and secretary of interior all
from beyond the Mississippi, the west
has come to have a dominating influ-
ence in the executive administration.
Eastern Men Run Congress
In congress, however, eastern sem
ators and representatives run every
thing, in spite of the fact that Illinois
They make combinations which win
and parcel out tariff favors to the far
west or to the south to head off the
attitude of the men from the central
west. They are strangely oblivious to
the fact that behind the attitude of
the Mississippi valley senators there
is strong public sentiment which can
not be ignored from a political point
of view and which will make itself
felt later on if the eastern men per-
sist in their dangerous rule of ruin
policy.
1t is a fact which wise students of
politics understand that the real
throbbing political heart of the coun-
| try beats closely around the popula-
ton center, which is now probably in
Illinois. The anti-slavery agitation in
New England probably did more harm
than good. 1t Vas the conservative
men of the Lincoln stripe from the
interior who finally decided the policy
of the government, and the union
army had its strongest support in men
and in morals from the same section.
1t was the attitude of the west on
the silver question which raised up
| the necessary bulWarks to the BRYAN
wave. So, too, in the last campaign
it was in the west, and in the west
| alone, that the battle was fought and

FORESTS TO BE PROTECTED

pointed for Northern Idaho.
SPOKANE

SPOKANE, June ~. - Arrange
ments We're completed at confer
ence in Spokane by representatives of
the United States forestry service and
heads of voluntary forest fire protec-
ton associations to patrol $50 town
ships or 100000 acres of timber
lands in the five northern counties in
Idaho, owned by the government, the
state and private concerns. The war
dens and rangers will divide the ter
ritory and the expense of fighting fires
In the district will be pro rated on
an acreage basis. The cost of this
work was less than three cents an
acre in 1908. This is the first time
that the government has entered into
an arrangement of similar character
with private companies, and Albert L.
FleWelling of Spokane, president of
the Pacific Northwest Forest and Con-
servation association, taking in WASH
ington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and
California, says it marks an epoch in
the history of fighting forest fires in
the Northwest. The government was
represented by w. B. Greeley dis
trict forester of Missoula, Mont, w.
G. Weigle, superintendent of the Occur
d'Alene forest reserve, and William
Ross, state fire warden of Idaho. A.
w. Laird, president of the North Ida
no Forestry association, represented
the associations.

curing. No arrests have been report
ed from any of the larger cities of the
state and Aberdeen and North Yaki-
ma stand out in bold relief. Chief of
Police Cade of Bellingham has gone
on record as stating that he believed
he had no more right to enforce this
law and he would have to arrest a
man for filling his pipe or for eating
brown bread instead Of white. He
does say however, that he will enforce
the law as applied to tobacconists
who are illicitly selling cigarettes.
Removal of Screens.
The removal of screens from SAL
Don windows is raising another protest
and in speaking of the constitution
ality of this law, Attorney Henry J.
Snively stated to the Herald Monday
evening that he believed it would be
Knocked out if a test case were made
on the ground that the law has no
right to say that a saloon man shall
not have a screen and at the same
time permit all other lines of business
to do so. He thinks that discrimina-
ton will be proved and the law prov
ed null and void. Mr.. Snively says
that a saloon man has just as much
right to have a screen in his window
as does lawyer and that no law may
be valid which discriminates.
