TACOMA ELKS ARE.
STEPPING HIGH
TODAY

& Tacoma Erks are only touching
the high places as they walk along
the streets today and no blame
should be attached to them for
feeling as good as they do, after
the showing they made In Seattle
yesterday at the big Elks' parade.
They were there with the goods
sure enough and those who saw
them On the parade showered
them with congratulations after
1t was over.
The Tacoma men made a par
tfcularly fine showing on the ex-
position grounds, where they par
AIDED in the afternoon headed by
the splendid band which accom-
panied them. Each public build
ing on the grounds was serenaded
by the band. When they arrived
at the California building the
structure was turned over to them
and they were served with refresh
|ments.
Seattle displayed its usual hos
|pitality in entertaining the visit
ing Elks.
Next to Tacoma came Port An
geles, the Elks of that city max
ing one of. the hits of the parade.

BIG. LEAGUE MEN

Major league baseball scouts
who scour the country every year
looking for new material to boil
|ster up their respective clubs have
been lowering around the North
west league lately. Dick Padden,
for the st. Louis Americans, was
here yesterday but ne did not see
anything that looked good to him.
Hedges, owner of the st. Louis
Browns. will join Padden proba-
bly, today or tomorrow. Stanley
Robinson of the st. Louis Ma
tionals was here Tuesday. Jim
Mcclure for Cleveland. George
Huff for Chicago Cubs, haze both
been here and Garry Hermann

Out-rooted, out-pitched, out+hit
ana out-helded, Tacoma went
down again before Mike Lynch
and his band of Turks yesterday.
Score III to 2.
TacOma's team was shown up by
the Seattle team but the yeaf con-
trast came not on the ball players
but on the rooters. Tacoma fans
were given an exhibition of what
real roofing is and q quartet of
Seattleites made more noise from
the start to the finish than the
whole grandstand and bleacher
crowd of local fellows.
When Seattle took pair of
runs in the first inning the Ia
coma fans quit, but when Tacoma
tied up the score and had the
Turks on the run the Seattle
rooters never gave up and never
allowed hull In their roofing.
There was no chance for the Seat
tie players to lose heart on ac-
count of disheartened support and
this confidence helped, as 1t al
ways does. to simply wipe the tt
gers on the map.
Newlin was given hard bump
ing by the Turks. Anderson would
probably have Jared little better
hut Mike Lynch yanked him out
of the box in the second inning
after Tacoma had tied UP the
score In the first, and he had
pumped the first man up In the
second on the leg. Gus Thomp-
son came onto the slab and 1t was
all up with Tacoma.
Enratic fielding helped Seattle
to pile up enough runs for three
or four games, but Tacoma could
neither hit the ball hard enough
to get around nor get the Turks
ratified enough to make errors
Score: n II Z

What to do with our boys? This
city has hit on solution.
It's an anxious time for boys
the time they are graduating from
the eighth grade-from the gram
mar schools. They want to go to
work and earn money, to get a
job. Maybe they are little
tired of school, Perhaps the
family could use the extra money,
too. They are at the age at which
the law allows them to go to
work.
Statistics show that smaller
and smaller number of boys were
entering high school from the
eighth grade. Also that they
dropped out steadily during the
four years. so that there was only
a handful left by comparison on
graduation day.
These things had worried Free
port people, who took an active
interest in Freeport boys. At last

A FINE HOG PASTURE PLAN.

\ very successful Minnesota hog raiser has plan ill the care of his hogs which has given him excellent results and should contain a hint for hog raiSerS elsewhere He believes in feeding the young pigs largely on rape and clover, finishing with corn after ward. He has never lost a pig from disease, and he attributes this largely to his hog pasture plan. He aims to have the area devoted to this twice as large as is needed at one time. He puts d fence through the middle and has one half in rape and clover and the other half in corn. The following season he reverseS this and puts clover and rape where the corn was and corn where the hogs and clover were. The latter part of June he SOws clover in the growing corn and follows with a light cultivation. He picks the corn i'll thC fall and lc>--~s. tiln etalI-S ~tcr.t- ing After the ground is well settled n the spring he turns in his hogs and LOWS three pounds of rape per acre. The hogs tramp the seed into the soil. md in short time it is nicely started md makes feed by the time the clover IS out of commission. If the rape gets too tall and tough he mowS it off, which starts luXuriant growth of succulent shoots. At the same time he has corn growing on the other side of he fence and sows clover the latter part of June, in this way repeating the pEoceSs.

RAILROADS AND FARMING.

One of the hopeful aspects of the general agricultural situation of the country over is the interest which leading railroad officials are taking in the preaching of the gospel of a better type of agriculture. Very naturally this interest is traceable to the fact that with agriculture on a better foot ing and making an increased cOntribu- tion to the wealth of the country busi- ness will be better i'll general and the transportation business in particular. But this interest is none the less com mendable because it is partly selfish. for the benefits accruing will be first to agriculture and secondarily to trans pOrtation companies. President James J. Hill of the Great Northern has this year offered substantial prizes to those ranchmen ill territory adjacent to his lines for the best exhibits of agricul- tural products, and these inducements have had a very beneficial effect in arouSing interest in better crops. \ few weeks ago in an address, before the Railway Business association in NeW 4OEh Cllf 1IeSlueul W. '. ISTONu of the New York Central railroad stat ed his intention of recommending to the roads with which he was connect ed the purchase of farms to be oper- ated as experimental tracts according to the most advanced methods of seed selection. fertilization ard cultivation at the expense of the road, but under the direction of the agricultural col lege in the state in which the farm is located. It was his hope that this idea might be adopted by majority of the roads of the country. Such farms would serve as object lessons ill better farming and would tend to greatly in crease the productivity of land and in so far increase it's capacity to sustain and feed d growing population. This railroad president is on the right track, and it is to be hoped that his sugges- tiOns may be carried out in full.
