1t will be suggested by United States
Census Director Durand to the farm
ers all over the country that the work
of securing accurate returns at the
coming census of agriculture will be
greatly facilitated if the farmers will
keep or provide some sort of written
record of their farm operations dur
ing the year 1909. This effort to
secure the farmers personal cooper
alton is but one of a number of ways
and means chosen by Director Du-
rand in the effort to secure an accu-
rate expeditions and economical CEN
sus concerning population, agriculA
ture, manufactures, mines and quar-
ries which are the subjects of in
quiry defined in the census law.
Director Durand believes that great
good will be accomplished by getting
into direct contact and cooperation
with the farmers. Some of the in
strumentalities which will be used by
him and which promise practical re-
suits are the state commissioners and
state boards of agriculture, the state
agricultural colleges, the agricultural
experiment stations, the farmers in
stitutes, the farmers unions, the Pa
irons of Husbandry and the state
oranges; in fact all the existing or
CARNATIONS for the education and bet
terment of the farmers. Added to
these will be the daily newspapers
the country press and the farmers
publications.
Director Durand wants the farm
erS to keen hooks this wear 90 that
guess-work and recollections will be
eliminated as far as possible from
the thirteenth census and the farm
ers' organizations are coming to the
front with cheering offers OF cooper
alton toward producing a practical
useful and believable census of Amer
ica's farm population. operations and
wealth.

WILL BEGIN A
BIG CAMP |GN
CIVIC FEDERATION HOLDS MEETING
At Mass Meeting Sunday Afternoon
"Drys" Decide TO Campaign for
Local Option.

over 200 men met Sunday after
noon at mass meeting in the First
Methodist church and discussed ways
and means to bring North Yakima
into the dry column of the cities of
Washington. After session lasting
about an hour and a half, during
which great enthusiasm was manifest
it was decided to inaugurate a no.
license campaign and to carry it
through until triumphant. A com
mittee was appointed, to consist of
delegates from the various church
brotherhoods and the executive board
of the Civic Federation, and this
committee is to take the preliminary
steps.
The committee will invite a men,
Der of the state anti-saloon league to
sit in on it's first deliberations which
are scheduled for the evening of Oc-
tober at the Y. NJ c. A. building.
The committee will decide what to do
and will then communicate with the
dry" men in this city who will pro-
coed to do it.
The meeting showed that the "dry''
party in this city is strong one, an
enthusiastic one, and contains men of
undoubted determination.
Many Men Speak.
C. E. Udell presided, and the first
half of the time was given over to
speech making. DR.. Granville Low
Their said that he had investigated the
matter thoroughly and was convinced
that 80 per cent of the voters out
side the city wished to have the sa-
looms here abolished and that more
than so per cent of the voters in the
city were for doing away with the Ii
cense system. II have faith in the
morality and the conscience of the
people," said DR.. Lowther, land
think they will conquer on this issue"
d. c. Reed, superintendent of
schools, said that the arguments that
the abOlishing of saloons meant ruin
to business were fallacious He cited
several examples where the abolishing
Of saloons has improved business,
which have come under his notice in
southern California.
Rev. James Edmunds told of his
work against the saloons in Oregon,
predicted victory here and stirred the
audience to enthusiasm.
c. H. Human also spoke against
the liquor traffic, and L. d. Luce, in
an eloquent address, scored the sa-
loon and all attempts to do other with
it than kill it. His characterization
of the attempt to make saloons harm
less by regulation as pouring rose
water on a skunk" was the hit of the
afternoon.
Patrolman Mathis and half a dozen
others spoke and one man rose and
said he could pledge $50 to 200 votes
from the men of his church club. At

SAVING THE ROOTS.


Here are two letters which
speak for themselves. We have
a book full of letters in similar
vein:
Dover, WASH, April 10, 1909.
II wish to compliment you
upon the trees | received from
you. l have spent the past seven
years in the Wenatchee Valley
and have handled some 10000
young trees, but have never
handled anything before that
would compare with your this
years stock. The root system of
your stock is best that l have
ever seen. Every one is inquir-
ing where that fine nursery
stock is from. l am certainly
more than pleased with it."
1.-The Dalles, Ore, Sept. IT, 1909.
81 need some fruit trees and
I see in the Ranch" that you
have trees to sell that have good
roots. Now, / would like to buy
trees that have the roots on.
Last year / bought some trees
that had only stubs for roots. I
suppose they plowed them out
and cut the roots off pretty close
up to the stem, and l don't want
any more such trees as that be-
sides they must have tried to
make hay of the trees first, be-
cause the tops of some would
not grow and they sprouted up
from near the ground. Please
send me a catalogue"
It's not hard work to get a
big Top growth on tree in this
country, but it takes muscle and
lots of it, both man and beast, to
produce a good root system, and
that's what you, the purchaser,
should demand.
We think we know how.

To us who were blessed with the

Let us weep for her whose sun is set

needs her valiant sons and for hu-
mainly whose champion has gone over

mellowed by the thought that knew

PINCHOT is NOT TO RESIGN
Conference With President Seems to
SAVIOR More or Less of Love
Feast-Ballinger Silent.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 25.-As a
result of several long conferences
with Clifford Pinchot here today
President Taft tonight caused to be
issued a statement in which he de-
clared that never at any time during
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy has
the president intended to reflect upon
Pinchot and in which President Taft
takes a more forward stand than
ever in favor of Roosevelt policies Of
conservation of the natural resources.
The president indicates that what is
to be done in retaining lands must
be done within the law, but he an
nounces his intention of applying to
congress for such confirmatory and
enabling legislation as will put the
Roosevelt policies on the best possible
basis.
Taft Likes PinchOt.
Pinchot before leaving tonight for
Washington also issued statement in
which he makes public a portion of
President Taft's letter written to the
chief forester at the time the letter to
Ballinger was dictated. The president
said he hoped Pinchot would not find
reason in the Ballinger letter for re-
signing. Il shall not resign de-
clared Pinchot, and he added that he
will continue in the service of the
he has pursued in the past, concluding

adopted corporation tax.
An amendment To that effect was to-

The senate finance committee has
decided 10 postpone until the next SEES

ing To $3.50, 100000 the amount OF Ger

Senator Aldrich, who besides being
chairman OF that committee. is chair
man OF the monetary committee. has
also announced that he expects the lat
ter body TO be able 10 make a prelim-
mary report some time during the next
session which will involve some dii-
ferent provisions with reference 10 the
character Of United States bonds 10

In making these important an
nouncements Aldrich said:
The condition OF the treasury Is
such. and will be such until the con
gress shall meet again. that II will
not be necessary TO provide now for
a different character OF bonds, or FOX
an additional amount OF bonds"
We are going 10 get through with
the tariff bill this week. Some think
1t will be by Wednesday. but II is my
opinion that Ii may take until Satur
day"
This is the opinion given today BY
Senator Smoot. one OF Aldrich's CHIEF
lieutenants.

against the sugar schedule. the lumber
and the hide dutfes-etc., which II do
livered might yet delay the final &C.
ton OF the senate. But there is nc
doubt that senators OF all shades OF
political opinion are tired OF the heat

down the solid wall OF what has been
termed Aldrich's Macedonian pha-

The important point is that The end
is in sight The house will soon again
have the tariff bill in its possession.
The work Of the conferees will be has
tened as much as possible. Differences
between the two houses will be set
tied by President Taft. VINO will act
as referee, or ex-offlcio member OF the
conference. and an adjournment OF cor
