POISONED BY LOCO.
United States Department Of Agri-
culture Prescribes a Remedy.

United States Department Of Agri-
culture Prescribes a Remedy.
A bulletin issued by the United
States department OF agriculture says
the loco weeds are a class of legumin.
Gus plants of which the principal ones
are the purple loco weed (Astragalus
mollissimus and the r%attleweed Ara.
gallus lambert. One OF both of these
prevail to a greater or less extent over
an area including all or parts of Mon.
taua, Wyoming, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan.
sas, Colorado. Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma
The characteristic symptoms of the
disease are q slow, staggering gait,
rough coat, staring, vacant look, and
emacistion. The affected animals
have hallucin atoms, cannot be led or
backed, show more or less lack Of
muscular coordination, gradually
lose flesh, and die. The affection
comes on in q slow and cumul alive
manner, and there is no possibility of
animals becoming immune by contin.
ually eating the plants.
In many cases much al be accom-.
plished by keeping animals away from
loco.covered ranges during the time
when feed is short, as they are much
more likely to contract the habit at
such q time. It may sometimes be
profitable to feed them for q short
time, in order that the loco.eating
habit may not be formed. After ami.
mails have become affected the first
essential in their treatment is to place
them where they cannot eat the loco
weeds. They should be given plenty
of nutritious feed, and 90 far as prac-
ticable feed with laxative properties,
such ss green alfalfa. Some may re.
cover under this treatment without
recourse to medicine. With most
animate, however, recovery is hast.
ened by medical treatment.
Az q result Of its experiments the de-
partment of agriculture suggests the
following treatment: For cattle,
strychnine in doses of three.twentieths
to four.twentieths of q grain daily.
administered hypodermically. For
horses, Fowler's solution of arsenic
in %half-ounce doses daily in the drink
ing water or in the grain. This treat.
ment should be continued for q least
q month. To correct the constitution
which is almost universal for locoed
animals, magnesium sulphste (epsom
salt may be administered as q drench
in two.ounce doses. Epson salt may
also serve to some extent as an anti
dote to the poison produced by the
weeds. Beneficial results have also
been obtained by giving horses daily
a drench containing two ounces OF
epson salt with ten drops of dilute
sulphuric acid, and by giving cattle
tri-weekly three to four ounces OF
epson salt with a proportionate in.
crease in the quantity of dilute sui.
phuric acid.
As the foregoing reatments are in
the experimental stage, the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, Washington, D. c.,
would be glad to receive reports OF
results from their use.

hitting this vast area to remain
a desert for the lack of moisture.
But within the past few years;
it has been made manifest that
it was we'll for us that this great
domain was left in an arid con-
dition until we became educated
to practical methods of intense
farming, and so today we find
the regions of this arid land be-
ing made the mecca of all farm
ing countries. Values spring in
to existence, such as has never
arisen from non-irrigated lands.
Within the past ten years the as
sessed values of this valley have
increased more than $40, 900, 600
and the year Of 1908 alone mark
ed an increase of $4,000, 900 over
the previous year. Yet, we are
just beginning to develop this
valley. Even our little town and
adjacent territory, will, within
the next few years, increase the
assessed valuation Of 1908 by
several hundred thousand dollars
The 5000 acres adjoining Nab
ton which are being placed I'M
der irrigation will support a pop
ulation of several thousand peo-
pie and the wealth of our little
city will increase many fold.
In a country where values in
crease so rapidly as this. there
are unfold opportunities and
many there are who make a COM
petent fortune in a few years.
Investors will find opportunities
for investment in and around

Making Rapid Progress

The wealth that has already
resulted from the irrigation of
arid lands and what will accrue
in the future, cannot even be es-
timated. Only a few years ago
and all the millions of acres of
desert land lying west of the
Rockies, were classed as worth
less and were scarcely given a
thought by man; and
men have even questioned the
wisdom of the Almighty in per-

Governor Hays Plan

Governor Hays plan of having
no state officers elected by the
people except the governor and
lieutenant governor is worthy of
consideration, though the Com
moner does not believe that it.
should be adopted. The chief
argument in favor of it is that
the voters are not well enough
acquainted with the candidates
for nominations for the minor
state officers to be able to judge
of their qualifications, whereas,
if the governor had the power
to select the heads of the various
departments just IS the presi-
dent selects his cabinet, more eff
ficient men would be secured.
This would probably be true,
provided the people never made
mistake in the selection Of a
governor and lieutenant COVER
nor.
But what would be the result
if man like Mead should hap
pen to be elected governor and
he should select for his assist
ants men like Ex-Adjustant Gen
eral Hamilton and Ex-RaiIroad
Commissioner Mcmillan?
With a strong but selfish and
ambitious man in the guberna-
torial chair there would be grave
danger that he might use the
increased power to build up
political machine to perpetuate
him in office or advance him to
the United States senate. With
a we'll meaning, but weak exc
cutive there would even be more
danger than under the present
system, of the selection of dis
honest and incompetent officials.
The governor is now vested
with sufficient power to safe
guard the people against dishon-
esty and grating in the other
departments Of the state admin
istration, and an honest, fearless
and competent executive would
make it his business to do it. If

ing a secretary to o. K. vouch-
ers by affixing his name with a

WISE AND OTHERWISE

James J. Hill's address at the
A. Y. P. Exposition was a mas
terly effort, Astounding in many
historical facts, and in a very
prophetic manner outlined a Qlo-
rious future for the Northwest
coast states. Had not Mr.. Hill
been born in a foreign country
he would be good presidential
timber.

grant nuisance as long as has
Seattle. The people have been
patient to a fault, and still their
patience endures. How long
this deplorable condition will ex-
list no prophet can foretell. The
people have complained for the
last ten years to the city author
tiles, but they have in profound
silence turned deaf ears. That
these bill boards are nuisances
goes without saying. There are
no persons affected by these
boards that would not qualify
under oath that they are not
nuisances, besides this the city as
whole is affected more or less.
1t is claimed that there is no law
or ordinance that will reach them.
If so, why does not the city coun.
Gil make some law? If the char
ter must be amended, why was
it not amended ten years ago?
The people have been ready for
| it. Ordinances have been intro
duced in the city council and they
have disappeared as if by magic.
The people have petitioned the
cito council, bombarded the
board of public works and haras-
sed the city officials from the
mayor down to dog catcher, and
yet there is no sign of relief.
Our exposition visitor while tour
ing the city gaze upon bill boards
instead of magnificent buildings.
How much longer must the good
people of the city suffer?
Still the automobile goes on in
it's usual style Gripping, naming
and killing, and the authorities
let them. Two simple sentences
of an ordinance well enforced
would prevent all these disasters.
It is on account of fast running
that these disasters occur. Let
the council pass an ordinance
prohibiting all autos from run
ming more than five miles per
hour in the business portion { f
the city and have it rigidly en-
forced and these accidents will
cease and lives will be spared.
Judge J. T. Ronald did a right
eous act when he refused to
grant q divorce to a couple last
Saturday for little or no cause.
The judges idea is that marriage
is something more than a simple
business contract. When hus-
band and wife become one it is
solemn partnership for life and
should not be dissolved only for
Bible cause. If this doctrine
was faithfully carried out people
would be more careful in their
marriage engagements and con-
tracts and divorces would be re-
duced to a minimum.
Just at this time congress is
wrangling with the schedule of
the tariff proposition. 1t is an
an important matter to all people
in all sections of the country.
The adjusting of proper tariff
on foreign goods SO as to be just
to products of the United States
is difficult problem. There are
two phases of the case to be con-
sidered - tariff for a sufficient
revenue to defray the expense
of the government and protec-
ton where it is needed.
Making Rapid Progress
The wealth that has already
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1909-06-11

business of the city should be
,ystematized so as to be without
friction and run like clockwork.
No private corporation would
transact its business in that slip
shod manner.
Some difference of opinion has
been expressed by our business
men as to the effect of the A. Y
P. exposition on the real estate
business in the city of Seattle,
King county and the state in gen
eral. Some of our pessimistic
citizens say that both values and
business will slump and every
thing will be knocked into moe
cuou8 desuetude and refer to the
Jamestown affair. That affair
was not a parallel case. There
was nothing to Jamestown while
Seattle and this part Of the coun-
try has everything in the way of
natural advantages cooped up
and ready for development.
Publicity is the enemy of all
wrong doings and evils. Nine
tenths of the wrong doings and
unlawful acts of the people are
projected because of their secre-
tiveness. People commit wrong
acts from the fact that they
think they will never be uncover
ed. Thousands of CRAFTS and
other unlawful acts are hidden
away in the stiffness of profound
silence never to be unearthed I'M
less by the potent hand of thor
ough investigation and publicity.
The laws of the state and ordin-
ances of the cities should provide
for thorough examination and
at least once a year. If
this were done the CRATER would
subside, and the people would
breathe easy.
No public enterprise benefits a
community more than macadam-
lied roads. 1t enhances the val
ue Of farm lands especially, and
incidentally the value of city or
town property - rducss the re-
tail price of every product the
farmer has to sell to the towns
people, besides the pleasure of
driving on smooth, dry roads in
stead of over corduroys, dirt and
mud highways. Any money ex-
pended judiciously for macadam-
lied roads will be returned four
fold. Should the state of Wash
ington be gridironed with good
roads, this state would become a
celebrated spot for tourists and
scenic hunters, and the people
would be benefited by the mil
lions of dollars spent here an
nnually.
Officials of state, county or city
should faithfully attend to the
business for which they were
elected or appointed. In most
eastern states they are held for
punctuaI and prompt duty, and
any officer who does not strictly
attend to business is not nominal
ted and elected for a second term,
and generally his salary is reduc-
ed accordingly. In the state of
Washington it is different. A
man is elected to an office, turns
over the business to deputies and
clerks and goes out on a tour,
hunting or fishing or smokes
Spanish cigars and plays cards
in some favored saloon and draws
his salary regularly. We under
stand that some of our officials
in this county have drawn two
