HIDES

The house. by a vote of 247 to 1O3,
voted to put hides on the free list.
New England and other eastern MEM
bers voted for free hides because they
reasoned that this would help the man
ufacturers of shoes and other articles
made of leather says the Oregon Jour-
nal Some western democrats voted
against free hides imagining that duty
on them would benefit stOckraisers and
farmers, or because cattle raisers de-
manded it, but Investigations nave
shown that it is not they but the beef
packers, organized into a trust, that
really get the benefit of a duty on
hides They charge the consumer
more for meat, but pay no more for
cattle. 1t is said that there nave been
instances where punches of inferior
cattle, or cattle sold during a depres-
sion in the market, were sold in Chi
cago as low as $1S.75 a head, whose
hides, under the high duty. were worth
SIC each. The men who sold the cat
tie did not get cent more for them on
account of the duty on hides. 1t is
also asserted that the packers control
the leather output of the country, the
Is per cent duty being sufficient to
prohibit the Importation of foreign
hides, giving the packers control of the
market. The number of independent
tanneries is rapidly decreasing, and of
packers tanneries increasing
But Aldrich, that is, the senate
proposes to keep the duty on hides
From this it would seem that the
packers trust is more influential
than the shoe manufacturers. OF
course the consumers don't count
And this piece of robbery of the peo-
pie is a sample of 100 others This
is how the people are ruling.

Ny Dear Miss Bea:
Will you please give me some idea
of what to serve in the way of eat
con for eight people? Of course
everything must be red. My thanks
in advance. A. A.
If you can arrange it, / would sug-
gest your serving the following menu:
Oyster or clam cocktails in the red
pepper cups which can be found in
the china departments of most depart
ment stores. There are china cups in
the shape Of red peppers or tomatoes
which used to be a fad several years
ago and are now very much reduced in
price.
For a soup I would serve tomato
boulliOn, and for the fish course a
pretty novelty is broiled smelts, each
fish curled up to form a little basket,
a toothpick being run through the
heads and tails to keep them together.
Arrange the smelts in this way on
the dish, and on each smelt place a
very large shrimp This will give the
desired touch of red. Garnish the
S1d6S OF the ulSn WIFI pdIIHSS VI Ueet
cut in the shapes of hearts or flowers.
With this serve cucumber salad trim
med with radishes cut into the shape
of a rose.
Instead Of having smelts you could
have lobster broiled and served with a
hot Chilli sauce, another touch of
color.
A net
with boiled rice served in pimentoes.
Pimentoes are the canned red pep
pers. You can us these for garnishlng
all dishes in case you do not serve
them in this way. The color is beau
tiful. But on no account allow pim-
entoes and beets to appear on the
same dish, for the scarlet of the one
and the crimson of the other makes

resources and the urgent necessity for
an immediate change of policy in the
use of those resources.
The organization Of the washington
Conservation association and its meet
ing here to discuss the question which
so directly affects the continuance of
the progress and well being of our
state, is the outgrowth of that con-
gress iof the governors which convened
one year ago today.
Washington is a young state full OF
the buoyancy and vigor of youth, en-
joying a marvellous growth and devel-
opment and confident of still more
brilliant future in the glowing promise
of known but yet untouched sources OF
wealth. In spite of the optimism with
which We must he inspired by consid-
Grafton of the latent possibilities with
which the commonwealth abounds, we
cannot blind ourselves, nor shall we, to
the fact that even now it is possible
to fortell with mathematical accuracy
the time when our forests, one of ouI
greatest natural resources, will be ex-
hausted if the present disregard for
the future is permitted to continue.
We are now consuming over three
times as much timber each year as the
natural forest growth restores. This is
largely due to the wasteful and unscien-
tific methods of logging. But more
care in that respect alone will not
suffice. We must not only adopt a diff
ferent policy in cutting but before il
is forever too late We must endeavor
TO reforest those large areas of cut

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The true facts of the roll top desk
trouble between E. Campbell and A
7. Cope, are:
The desk was borrowed from me
nearly a year ago with the under
standing that 1 was to have access to
the desk at any time, as my books and
ali such matters as l cared to leave
in it were left in it, there being two
keys to the desk. Cope had one and
I the other. The desk would have
been left with Cope longer, if he had
not used it as a sort of collateral fer
help from the people with whom he
was working with.
I got my desk, but as I didn't take
it according to law l had to pay $147O
cost.

EVENING CHIT-CHAT
By Ruth Cameron

The second half of the prescription
may come very hard at first.
To people who are not writer's by Vo-
cation. the thought of writing anything
simply for the sake of learning to write.
seems ridiculous.
But it isn't.
Nothing so stimulates the mind as
writing Nothing teaches one to speak
good English better than trying to
write it.
Don't say you have no thoughts
worth setting down.
Every human being is thinking al
the time he is awake-that is, about
Is hours day.
Surely, in the course of that time
some one thought passes through your
mind that is worth polishing off ano
setting down.
Here, for example, is what one wo-
man, who is taking this tonic, wrote
yesterday:
1T is not possible to thoroughly
know how to cook anything until yol
have failed If you have never baked
the cake a bit too long, your success.
has been chance and you do not know
by what signs to expect failure ant
how to ward it off. Is not this alst
true of life?"
At the end of three months if your
mind is brighter and happier thar
when you started the tonic, you ma,
cease taking tiff you wish to. Bu1
here's hoping you won't.

wALLA wALLA INTERESTED.

The first annual convention of the
Washington Conservation association
which opened it's sessions in the Com
mercial club rooms this morning,
brings to Walla Walla not only some
of the greatest thinkers and most
prominent men of the country, but also
the question, are we, in our race for
wealth and self advancement, plumber
ing our patrimOny or are we living
with the constant thought of handing
it down intact to future generations?
Set in motion a year ago by ex-
President Roosevelt, the conservation
movement has attained a nation wide
popularity and the work has ramified
to all parts of the country. The state
of Washington was one of the first
to recognize the necessity of laying
OBTAINING hand on our reckless pur-
suits in forest field and stream. Walla
Walla, ffanked on all sides by produc-
tive fields stretching their broad acres
TO the forest fringed ridges of the
Blue mountains, or to the sandy banks
OF the Columbia, should be as vitality
interested in conservation as any part
of this great state. The resources Of
our valley are as great and as varied
es any and the problem of outstanding
them is intricate and one that demand,
the immediate and careful considera
tion of every property owner and
every resident that is interested in
the future growth and development of
Walfa Walla and the Inland Empire.
Much has already been accomplished
along conservation lines and many
phases of the work discussed today
and tomorrow will not come as an
innovation but will throw additional
light on the movement as it is being
followed. Theories that have been
worked out by the ablest soil experts
and hOrticulturists have already been
put into practice and the great work of
educating the farmers to conserve and
restore while they cultivate is we'll
under way.
The experimental farm and the DEM
OnstratiOn train have become power
full factors in impresing the soil tiller
with the necessity of adopting new
and improved methods on the farm.
Just now perhaps the greatest demand
is for more information on how to
succeed on small farms. Men and
women read of wonderful crops being
taken from orchards. gardens and
vineyards of small dimensions, and
doubt the truthfulness of the stories.
They have seen old farms abandoned
because the land did not produce suf-
ficient income to offer inducements
for the young men to remain on the
land and attempt to keep up with the
requirements of the age They have
noted the failures Of many apparently
industrious families in harvesting sue
cess from large tracts of land. Now
come the stories of wealth and indie
pendence being attained through the
cultivation of One-tenth the area of
former unsuccessful farms.
The people are interested and are
Clamoring for new ideas and more in
formation and the Conservation con-
gress is undertaking the responsibility
of furnishing just such information
and the great truths that are voiced
here today and tomorrow will without
doubt answer many questions that
have arisen to puzzle both the novice
and the PXOert

Why not take a spring tonic for your
mind as well as your body?
Doubtless it needs it quite as much.
If you don't know a good prescrip-
ton, here is one that you may fill and
take yourself without going to any
druggist.
For the next three months commit
to memory one good thought OF some
great man or woman, and write down
one good thought of your own every
day.

busy to learn few lines of prose or
poetry sometime during the day.

Expressed Regrets

Secretary L. Frank Brown. who re-
sponded to the address Of welcome
prefaced his remarks with regrets at
the absence of the president and the
directors, and said he felt much like

ed in marriage by the parson, was,
through force of habit, invited by the
clergyman to view the remains" Mr..
Brown gave voice to strong statements
relative to the great work that is be-

in the great northwest where the nat
ural resources have in past years been
wasted.

There will be some great trying out
done this week. There are over d

eral dark horses. The latter are doing
surprisingly good practice and are sure
to play a strong nand in the race.
There is a young runner who is crs-

half Spanish and half Hawaiian lad
and is a student at Kaahumanu school.
/ He has been practicing over a distance
since the fleet was here and runs eight

day last week he covered nInereen
miles in three hours and a quarter,
which is remarkably good work for a
boy of twelve.
The race at the ball park will give
the public an excellent chance to
watch the styles of the contestants and
will furnish an excellent object lesson

The track will be surveyed this week
and the number of laps to the mile
announced in the newspapers as soon

BARRY BEATEN
BY LANGFORD

PHILADELPHIA, March H. - Sam
Langford defeated Jim Barry at the
Washington Sporting Club tonight in
one of the most exciting and sensa-
tional bouts that mas been seen in this
city in a long time. Langford ap-
peared to be in almost perfect shape,
but Barry has been suffering from a
light attack of malarial fever and he
had not been able to get into good
shape for the bout. Langford used a
left hook vo the head and face with
good advantage and he kept slamming
his right into Barry's kidneys at ev-
cry possible opportunity in order to
