DAIRYING

That a large dairy industry
will soon be promoted here is
an assured fact, and for any
man or firm who is expecting
to start such an enterprise,
surely Richland offers an ideal
location.
It's perfect location on one Of
Americas greatest rivers and
several lines of transconti-

sible to reach all markets
quickly and cheaply.

PEACHES
CHERRIES
And What They Will
Do
Peaches from orchards in
this vicinity for the last few
years have controlled the mar
kets of the entire Northwest
for weeks before any other
northwestern peaches were
ripe, and the average net
profit per box to the grower
is consequently double the
amoant received by orchard
owners in later sections. That
the early bird catches the
worm" is an established fact.
Therefore every man in select
ing his future orchard home,
should not select a place where
he not only has to grow the
fruit under trying climatic
conditions, but must almost
beg for purchasers after he has
raised it and finally take a low
figure for his products, because
people are already tired of that
kind of fruit. Such conditions
do not exist in Richland. The
California of the Northwest"
Peaches and Cherries
are fruits of nearly the same
class as far as marketing is
concerned. They are both ex-
cellent money makers and
come into bearing early, but
to be successful they must be
from the early district. A
word to wise man should
cause him to investigate.

Fancy chickens are now rec
'ogniZed as one of the chief in
1ustries of many districts. 1t
Is Well-knoWn fact that a
good chicken ranch is a safe
and quick road to wealth.
There is probably no district
to be found north of Southern
California that can in any way
compare with the warm belt of
the Columbia River for the
raising of poultry. Within
radius of 10 miles of Richland
there are several chicken fan
cierS, who in the last three
years have won more than one
half of all the first prizes given
at state and interstate fairs.
1t is not hard for one to I'M
derstand that without mild
winters, almost perpetually

phere free from fog, that Rich
land is the natural home of

spoken of.
The Hon. Simeon S. Pennewl danced every
dance and the Hon. Thomas Q. Cooper, Speaker
OF the House. danced every dance. Both are ex-
pcrts in the fantastic art, and if there is any
more talk about the official social rivalry be-
tween the lower counties and New Castle, the
only way of settling the dispute will be TO have
dancing contest between the Governor and the
Speaker

EYES ON THE LEGISLATURE.

TT HE Legislature is being warned to guard the
= States finances, not to be cxtravagant. and
70 get down to business. Every time the Legis-
lature meets some persons become uneasy They
seem TO think the law making body is practically
unnecessary and that no good can come of it.
Some Democratic papers are telling the Depo-
cratic house not to be extravagant. cautionng
the members that the Democratic platform dur
ing the last campaign urged economy and criti-
ciscd the Republicans for alleged extravaganza.
The General Assembly should not throw away
money, but neither should it be stngy, in making
appropriations that absolutely necessary
Care of the institution at Farnhurst for example
is one of the burdens which the State must bear
without complaining. There are of course, many
other necessary expenditures.
There are good grounds for caution and warm
ings. Most public bodies inclined to be
wasteful. They spend other peoples money, not
their own, and therefore what matters it TO them
men in politics-if the money IS not handled
in a miserlv manner? And yet the reverse of
the actual situation ought to be the true rule to
follow Men should be much more careful of
other peoples money than they are of their
own.
The Legislature is urged to get down to busi-
ness and TO be brief No doubt a session of a
month would be amply sufficient for the Legisa-
tire II the members were prompt.
Still, we have made great improvement. Think
OF the old Legislatures with unlimited sessions.
What a nuisance they were, dragging along their
sessions for months and months, doing nothing
but consuming money and perhaps recording into
law the wishes of the corporations OF the State.
By limiting the time Of the sessions of the Cen
eral Assembly we have taken great step for
ward.
There is really little legislation necessary.
There will be flood OF bills Most of these bills,
when looked into arc schemes to devise Jobs for
some one. and to give some ono a chance to MUNICH
at the public crib. Few such bills arc likely to
be passed. However, there IS some needed legis-
lation that should be enacted For example, the
law should be changed that bonding compaH-
les shall be required as security for county Off
GERS but the slow going legislators have not yet
taken up this subject We have been informed
that tho Levy Court is preparing bill TO make
the change
A prompt and careful Legislature is ono which
would please the people, but such Legislature
IS hardly TO be expected.
Evening journal., 1909-01-22

found that the Republicans had control and then
question arose as to whether Chamberlain
should be chosen. Some tried to wrgge out Of
their pledges, but the better sentiment, which
was also upheld by the leading Republican pa
pers Of the country that urged the legislators to
stand by their pledges prevailed and elected
Chamberlain.
Roosevelt and Taft were appealed to as arbi-
ters OF the trouble, but they declined to inter
fere. The President was once quoted as saying
that Chamberlain should be elected although
when the opponents of the Governor started a
cry OF fraud in the primary. the President is re-
ported~to have withdrawn his statement Mr..
Taft did not interfere because he regarded the
matter as one that concerned only Oregon.
In New York sentiment is developing in fa-
vor of the practical election of Senators by the
people as has been done in Oregon. During the
campaign Governor Hughes criticised Bryans
plan TO amend the constitution so that Senators
could be chosen by direct vote, but Governor
Hughes pointed out that the Oregon plan is the
shorter and easier one.
