purchase the customer received nine
and one-eighth cents worth, instead
of the twelve cents worth for which
he paid. Superintendent Reichmann
continues as follows:
''All kinds of tricks are used by
dishonest merchants. Those mer-
chants who are not dishonest inten-
tionally may have faulty scales or inn
perfect measures Of which they know
nothing because they are not tested.
The longer set of scales Is used the
worse 1t becomes--for the customer
unless it is tested and repaired. But
the average merchant never will ask
for test If he has to pay fees for
that test, unless his customers COM
plain Of him. Now, in some towns
there is the fee system; in others the
municipal sealerof weights and meas
ures has a salary and collects fees
which go into the city treasury; in
others, again, there is a straight sal
airy basis, and no charge Is made for
tests. In some cities there is q rigid
inspection; in others absolutely none.
Bad Conditions in Syracuse.
"We went to Syracuse time ago
and found horrible conditions pre-
vailing. There was a municipal de-
partment of weights and measures,
with salaried head, who said he
never had done anything much, be-
cause his predecessors never had done
anything but draw their salaries.
Things were stirred up; this superin-
tendent was made to see the error Of
his ways, a couple Of deputies were
added to his staffA Now that same
man is one of the most active and
best men in the State. He tells me
that his working day is limited to
eight hours, but that he wants to
work overtime in getting after viola
tors of the law and does 1t. / went
to Yonkers some time ago, and there
was hardly straight weight or pro-
per measure in the town. Now they
have a good inspection there, and the
merchants are running pretty much
on the level.
But it's so easy to beat the game.
How many customers know the differ
ence between dry and liquid meas
ure? Yet II grocer sells quart of
lima beans, say, in a liquid quart
measure, he's stealing about fifteen
per cent It's very easy for him to

quart on that basis, and thus he
drives them out Of business or into
his own habits. A butcher, say.
keeps several sheets Of paper on his
scales. The paper weighs, perhaps,
an ounce or an ounce and half. 1t
doesn't make much difference on g
ten-pound roast, but on half pound
or pound of meat for the poor woman

there are as many ways to manipu-
late them as there are makes OF

weather is not too cold, the wood then
being dormant? Also, do you think
fall planting is safe? E. H. T."
For apple trees We prefer to prune,
especially the young trees, late in the
season or early in the spring, after all
danger of winter injury has passed.
Where We prune early in the season
the ends of the terminal buds often
die, which gives much annoyance.
Il believe fall planting is safe only
where you have moist, not wet, soil,
naturally hardened nursery stock. and
you are sure that the winters will not
be too cold. In other words, we favor
early spring planting where it is pos
sible. We are satisfied that we can
make better growth with fall plant
ing than spring planting, but also know
that We lose more trees by fall plant
ing than spring planting. Under your
conditions, however, if you have a lot
Of trees to plant, if you bank them

STATE SUPREME COURT
CONDEMNS THIRD DEGREE

Olympia, Dec. 25.-The supreme
court has granted new trial to E. P.
Montgomery convicted in Spokane
county. The decision handed down by
Chief Justice Rudkin and concurred in
by a majority of the judges severely
scores methods sometimes employed
by prosecuting attorneys and by jail
officials in using coercion in getting
witness to testify as they wish.
All third degree methods are severe
ly scored by the court and the conclu-
sion is that the defendant in the case
in point should not have been convict
ed on testimony procured through CO
ercion, but that if Montgomery is real
ly guilty of the crime charged he
should be punished. The court sends
the case back for new trial.

says the National Geographical Socie-

Admiral Schley that they send the
proofs Peary submitted them to the
University of Copenhagen, to meet the
same examination given Cooks pa
pers.
The National Geographical Society
is terribly indignant that it should be
called upon to "demean" itself in any
such manner. "Our findings need no
verification," say the men who gave
Peary clean bill of health.
Professor Gahnett, chairman of the
committee that passed on Peary's
proofs, acknowledges that every men,

lines, without regard to personality or
the standing of either claimant"
And as a result the polar contro-
versy heat is hotter than ever before.
The reputation of Cook, instead of
calming troubled waters, has dashed

To Treat Raw Pine Land.

Seattle: Il am putting some raw
nine land into orchard and field crops.
This land lies on the bank of the Co.
lumbia river, about twenty miles south
If Kettle Falls. The soil is sand with
a mixture of small gravel to depth
Of over fifty feet. l desire suggestions
as to the best method of treating such
soils. especially with reference to get
ting an income as soon as possible.
Last fall I sowed this tract with rye,
which is to be plowed under next
spring and followed with clover or
peas. The question now is, how shall
treat the soil in the season of 1910?
&c. L. T."
After blowing under the crop of
green rye that you have already seeded
upon your land, we believe that you
will be fairly successful with early pO-
atoes upon the soil. Of course, the
soil lacks humus and possibly nitrogen,
and probably has considerable pine
foliage, or twigs in it, especially if it
is from densely grown forests. We
know of no crop that can take the
place of potatoes so far as the trees
are concerned This is not always a
highly-paying crop, but is usually very
good Cabbage may be grown if you
have sufficient moisture, but it is
much more difficult to market. A
small fruit crop will do we'll in a small
way, particularly dewberries and
strawberries. All these considerations
will have to be governed by your local
conditions relative to moisture and
shipment of crops"
