THE FARMER OF TO-DAY

THE FARMER OF TO-DAY.
Washington Post: IN the contin-
ued rising tide of prosperity, as am
nounced In every trade and crop re-
port. the center OF interest for the
last few months has been the til!er Of
the soil. From being a .igure re-
garded with mingled pity and nnpa-
tience, in view of mis- d~oWntrodden
and apparently apathetic condition
he has become an object OF respect
full attention. so far as rhis country
is concerned. at least, the ".ingelus''
and the MAN With the Hoe" are
%portraitures Of one who Was. rather
than OF a contemporary reiag. and
the "Old Homestead" promises hence
forth to appeal only to The ren.inis-
cent sentiment that still finds pleas
ure in "Uncle Toms Cabin and othsr
presentations of days that are past.
1t may be worth while to consider
-
the reason, or, rather, reasons, for
this change. Foremost must be placed
the fact that the best and richest of
the vast domains of the country have
been taken up. Much government
land is still u~noccupied, but the true
natural farming country has been
largely absorbed. The United States
has been open-handed in it's policy
with regard to its public lands, and
the agriculturists of this and other
countries have taken advantage of
the l%iberality, until now there is not
so much remaining to give away or
to part with for a nominal sum-. Proof
of this is found in the increased mi
grafton to British Columbia. The
fertility of Manitoba's wheat lands
has long been known but Americans
are loath to leave their native soil
$50 long as equally good opportunities
are found at home. Another proof is
found In the irrigation projects now
underway in the semiarid regions of

In the Commoner Mr.. Bryan has
set forth his plan for requiring can
didates on the democratic ticket to
stand pat. 1t is his idea that all
future democratic conventions shall
insert as a part of the platform the
following words: I'VE believe that
platforms r binding, and we pledge
u candidate to carry out this plat
form in letter and in spirit" Mr..
Bryan is moved to have this para
graph placed in the platform for the
reason that some of the democratic
congressman wavered to a fearful ex-
tent during the making of the tariff
bill. in which they approached al
together too near the protective idea
of the republican party. 1t seems
that the democratic congressional
candidates cannot be relied upon to
cal ~ into effect what the platform
says and that something of a more
binding nature must be applied. The
structure will have little effect
on the candidates, for the good rea-
son that when they accept the NOM
ination it implies the same thing.

PEARL PUMP SAID
TO Be A WONDER
Young Man of This City Claims to
Have a Patent for Which He Has
Been Offered More Than
100000.

Simple in its construction but pos
sessing absolute power, is the vacuum
pump that has now been perfected by
Frank W. Pearl, young man of this
city who has been working on this
idea for the past eight years. Mr. Pearl
who is at present working with the
Richland company, is a former stu
dent of hydraulics and civil engineer
ing and having discovered a certain
principle at one time, has been de-
celoping it, until now he has invented
a pump which, it is said, will work an
absolute change in all pumps now ex-
listing.
No power, excepting that generated
by vacuum created by drawing out
some of the water from a tank placed
S3 feet above the outlet, is used and
when in operation will run forever
without the slightest expense. A Sc
attic firm has already made an offer
of s325,d00 for an option on this gin
vention, but preferring to organize a
local company with himself as man

ager, Mr.. Pearl did not close with the
DEAL All United States patents are
filed and with six months to perfect
the foreign ones, no difficulty is anti
cipated from this source.
The idea displayed in this inven-
ton is new. so far as it's ever having
been used with success before is con-
cerned, but involving the principle of
hydraulics it is simple in construction
and can be built with very little ex-
pense, there being no more after once
set up.
A tank erected above another with
the flow SO regulated that the same
amount of water issues from one to
the other, creating an equal vacuum In
both receptacles. is the power and no
limit to the strength is known.
The invention is designated as
Pearls Automatic Water Power and
Elevator and is really based on the
principle of raising water from lower
point than the outlet. 1t is the de-
sire of the inventor to establish a fac
tory in this city for the purpose of
building these pumps and if this can
be worked successfully it will not be
very long before a plant will be erect
ed with Mr.. Pearl as the managing di-
rector.

Der 8, when all former residents of

that the senate's recommendation Will

ate. and ii is there the real work OF
making a new tariff will occur.
Statistics show that the hosiery
glove industries are amply protected
IT has been figured out that the pro-
posed advance in duties would increase
the cost of living to an average lam
ily Of six over $40 per year. 1t would
be a good idea for the women and the
men too for that matter, to write 10
Congressman Poindexter on the sub
iect. commencing the senates action
and at the same time let him know
what you think of a prohibitive tax on
stockings and gloves.
The lesson is being brought home
to the country at large that congress
will respond to the will of the people
IL they only insist on what they want.

SHOWERS AND SMILES.

To every cloud there is a silver
lining but every one does not bring
golden showers, and wealth to a thirs-
~ land Now that the sun has dis
PEELED the storm which brought rain
all over the great wheat belt of the In
land Empire and the farmer has had
a chance to take an inventory of his
multiplied assets it is evident that
Nature has added many thousands
and perhaps millions of dollars to the
credit side of the northWest's prOsperi-
ty. April showers falling on the tiny
blades of the spring wheat and the
jointing stalks of the winter grain
will hurry it on to a vigorous growth
that will withstand the unfavorable
climatic conditions that may arise la
ter in the season. And from reports
from all sections of the country it
is evident that rich harvest of gold
en- grain for next fall is now prac-
tically assured.
The acreage of both spring and win
ter grain in the Pacific northwest is
undoubtedly the largest on record and
all signs now point to a bumper yield.
OF wheat alone, it is estimated by crop
experts that there are excellent pros
poets for a 60,000,000 bushel harvest,
and owing to the high prices paid for
other grains last year, the farmer has
increased his acreage in oats and bar
ley.
1t now seems a certainty that the
prices at which the coming crop will
be marketed will be far in advance OF
the average of the last decade, and
there is little likelihood of the quota
tons falling much below the dollar
mark. Sixty million bushels of wheat
at 81 a bushel The q significance OF
such enormous returns from our fer
tile fields is apparent at first hand and
the success of the farmer is our sue
cess. 1t means the greatest prosperi-
" the country has ever known.
Walla Walla situated as it is in the
very heart of the greatest grain pro-
ducing district of America is certain
to reap this year as in past, rich re-
wards from the generous hand of ma
ture. With every train carrying car:
of earlN vegetables and garden pro
duce to the less favored sections of thu
north and west, with the peach, thu
apple and the cherry tree just drop
ping its fragrant bloom is evidence
that every bough will carry its luciou
load of ripening fruit later on. an'
the young grain springing luxuriantl,
from its recent drenching, the chan
nels of the Garden City's revenue ar
opened wide for the certain flowing o
the golden streams of wealth. which
are bound to quicken the current @
our progress and insure unprecedente'
prosperity in all lines of activity.

But probably ten times as many
people in this country have read about
Earl and his affinity as of Anna Kare-

served the world with her warning as
only an ostentatious public failure can
serve it.
There are some people who are thor
oughly DESTROYS of being good. If a
thing is wrong that's enough to keep
them from doing it. They need no sign
posts to turn them from seeking hap
piness by the path Of broken hearts
and marriage vows.
But there are other people who want
happiness SO badly that they don't care
how they get it. They seek to juggle
with right and wrong an1 justify
themselves with pretty terms like "soul
mate" and affinity" These are the
people who need Julia Kuttner's les
son. For her sign boards say in the
unmistakeable language of a woman's
bruised flesh and shattered ideals and
broken heart-"This path leads to great
unnappiness.
1t is well that those who are not
capable of hating sin for it's own sake
should be taught to hate it for the
suffering it brings.
SO the shrieking publicity that has
been given Julia Kuttner Earl's affairs
has not been in vain If a single woman
has come thereby to realize that the
man who will desert his wife, the wo-
man to whom he is bound by every tie
of respect and legality, will treat the
woman to whom he is bound by no
such ties and for whom he has had
to undergo much sacrifice far worse.
