He bought the Strawberry park waterworlls and two other plants in the near vicinity. men ton of the fact being briefly made in these columns some time ago when the transaction occurred. The three pumping plants now furnish water to the towns of Strawberry Park. Gar dena, Moneta and the Mckinley Home district, as well as a section of the Los Angeles half-mile shoe-string strip between the city proper and the sea. on which is located a high school building and a public school building. All these districts and institutions named are supplied by his newly amalgamated company. which is known as the Los Angeles County Waterworks company.
 The old company, he says, paid 10 per cent net on a S25O.O0O investment. and he believes that with the inn provements now under way for bet ter service and a larger patronage he will be able to run his profits up No 70 per ttUl- ne IdS a lHlTlN year franchise and has no fear of the Owens river or city waterworks put ting him out of business, for it can only do so by buying him out, in which event he probably would not be materially injured, as his franchises will prevent any confiscation.
 Nevertheless. NIT. McCabe says he is an Arizonian and a mining man, and Phoenix is his home, no matter what he may buy in Los Angeles or else where. He became interested there partly to aid others in becoming in terested in his mining projects and partly because he thought the invest ment was a good one. He expects to depend on the mines chiefly for break ing into the millionaire class, is not dispOsing of his mines, and is always looking for more good ones.

 By the very nature of things, there are certain big waterway projects that must stand alone by themselves and for which provision should be made for early completion. If we cannot take them all up. we should take up as much as We can in order that the wellestablished propositions for which complete surveys have been made may be wound up.
 ''The Columbia river is one of the great propositions with which We have to deal, and it is exceedingly difficult The mouth of the Columbia must first be improved before we can proceed to improve the river itself over two and a half millions for improving the mouth, have been appropriated. and it will probably take a million and a half more to do what they want done We have secured a temporary channel of twenty-five feet from the mouth to Portland. a distance of about one hun dred miles
 The next obstacle encountered on the Columbia is at the Dalles. a mill ion dollars having been appropriated and now being expended under the continued contract feature in deep ening the river. When the work at the Dalles is completed. we will have navigation from the mouth to Lewis ton. Idaho. on the Snake river. and to Priest Rapids. on the main Columbia. a distance of about three hundred and fifty miles"

Senator Jones said: T hope this commission will bring in a plan for waterways i'm provement that will be both broad and comprehensive. and that it will also report upon the aggregate cost for de- velQpment, SO that the American peo- pie may know exactly where they stand on this great question

MAKING SOIL.

Extensive farmers have methods
for rendering their soil fertile by
blowing under clovers, vetches, etc.
These same farmers do not know that
they are also creating soil. The most
important Of what they are doing is
not adding fertilizer, but increas-
ing the quantity of soil which they
own. Alfalfa or clover that is
plowed makes a mass of humus, and
this slowly undergoes chemical
change and physical change until it
is added to the bulk of the soil. Now,
what we need in our country homes
most of all is a knowledge Of how to
make soil. A large majority of our
little homesteads are not Over-rich
in what land they do have, and the
land itself is limited-probably not
more than half an acre for fruit and
vegetables. The owner ought to know
how to make this exceedingly produc-
tive, and instead of decreasing it
he ought to add to it and to its fertil-
ity every year. This can be done al
most anywhere, and done with ease.
One Of the simplest possible ways
for increasing garden soil is the
planting of legumes. Beans may be
planted over and over in the same
spot and will add to the nitrogen,
needing only a little potash and a
triae Of phosphate. But if corn is
planted repeatedly in a corner of the
garden It exhausts corn-food, and
you will, in the course Of three or
four years, get stalks one-haK size on
ly, and ears accordingly. Now the
proper thing to do is just as soon as
you buy place is to begin to aceumu-
late soil-stuff. Put this all into piles,
and you will be surprised to find
how rapidly the piles grow. On clay
soils you can get hardly anything
better than coal-ashes, and this is
generally thrown away by the ton.
l advise you to get It IA largely as

the prospective nominee.
The Star in its brief paragraph
exposes the whole direct primary
system, and proves the assertions
The Tribune has made time and
again. What we would like to know
is where on eartk is the system a
success? 1t is in use and effect in
several states. The test is, is there
less corruption? are there better off
Gals in those states than there are
in the other states, or, again, are
they better now than they were
under the old system? Has
there been any change in Illinois,
Wisconsin, Oregon or Washington,
that is for the betterment of TIE peo-
pie? We mention Washington and
Wisconsin because those states fur
nished the pattern for the Idaho d.
rect primary law. If conditions have
not improved, why daily with the law
at all? 1t is an expensive piece of
furniture, both for the people and the
candidates. The law itself contem-
plates that the candidate for sheriff,
say, in Canyon county shall spend
100000 in getting the nomination.
If no better men are elected under
the new system, what's the use? As
stated in the last issue of The Tri-
bune, if we were the republican party
we would call a state nominating
convention and pledge our legislature
to repeal the law.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY AGAIN

In speaking of the last city election
in Indianapolis, the Star OF that city
says:
1t is serious question whether the
adoption of direct primaries has bene-
fitted or injured the situation of mu-
nicipal politics in the election of a
Mayor. The city of Indianapolis now
confronts condition in which its
Mayor-elect, a poor man, is trying to
discharge the financial obligations he
incurred not so much in the final cleo
ton as before the primaries-obliga-
tons he entered into so as to carry
the various wards for the nomination
The general public does not under
stand so well as do the men who do
the practical work in politics the con-
ditions which confront the man seek
ing the nomination for Mayor. After
ne has consulted some central author
ity or authorities he is referred to
the so-called leaders in the various
wards, and these inform him that it
is possible he can carry their ward,
but money will be required for ex-
penses. From $400 to $1,000 a ward
IS the required amount and the as
pirant is made to believe that he
must either raise this money or with
draw from the race. At one stage of
his race Mr.. Shank was scared out
and withdrew. At q later stage the
money was supplied and he backed in.
Or course this is all wrong and
ought not to be. Some how or other
we ought to get the financial element
out of our municipal campaigns. It
is in the National and state cam
paigns, though growing less promi-
nent under newspaper criticism, and
it ought to be banished entirely from
city elections. Yet it is a question
whether the direct primary has not
increased rather than diminished the
facilities of ward bosses to hold up

that members of the press occupy SUCH
positions. The Southeastern Press
Association looked up Mr.. Taylor's
record, and finding it worthy in every
particular approved of it. This was
about the first publicity Mr.. Taylor
has received. The people can depend
upon it that when the journalists Of
the state approve of a fellow jour-
nalist, he is absolutely above re-
proach. 1t always affords a news
paper man keen pleasure to find a
flaw in the record of another news
paper man. We offer our congratula-
tons both to Mr.. Taylor and to the
fraternity in Idaho.

In Florida we fill trenches or deep
burrows with this sort of material,
then throw over with the pillow a

cuttings of sweet potato vines and
the results are very far ahead of any
thing that can be secured from high
grade fertilizers. Even pine needles
are useful, because they help to hold

find that you are adding richness. It
is muck better to compost your privy

even if you have no bathroom, by
carrying it through five or six-inch
tile, that can be frequently flushed.
You will find this a much more sani-

getting rid of wealth, but it is not a
good system for saving wealth. Be-

how to make the most soil, and at the

citation to the city council of Caldwell
and particularly to Councilman Ell
mer A. Clark. Mr.. Clark and asso-
ciates are reminded that they were
elected to Office through the efforts OF
the News, and being the political
creatures of the News, that paper
feels a parental responsibility. Its
duty is to compel the present admin
istration to attend to the needs of the
community. If necessary the rod will
be pressed into service as the News
has no intention of spelling its off
spring. The News ingeneously hand
ed the council few that the members
will not forget. In politics there is
no anathama so obnoxious as the
charge of being the creature of an

of thought and action is tacitly ques-
toned when his political success Is

Messrs. Gowen, Clark, Farrar, Payn-
ter, Devers, Gartin and Gipson, in
debted to success to anyone other than
themselves. Each of those men are
prominent in the affairs of Caldwell.
In business and as private citizens,
these men enjoy a reputation for
force of mind and character. No
one lays claim to responsibility for
the success of these men in the bust
ness life of the community; and we
think they must resent the charge Of
being the political offspring of the
News, no matter how honorable that
parentage might be. The fagellation
was more severe that the occasion
demanded. The council at the in
stigation of Councilman Clark turned
down the News printing bill. No
doubt tie bill was a just and lawful
one, but it seems that it had not been
endorsed by the proper official. The
council has adopted the rule that
claims must be endorsed by those who
incur the Indebtedness on behalf of
the city, and in this case this had
not been done. Councilman Clark is
entitled to no more blame than the
others. If he were he is not liable to
the charge that his success at the
city election was illegitimate. We
think on serious thought the people
will say with The Tribune that the
News castigation was undeserveo.
The Tribune is neither the sponsor
nor the apologist for the present city
administration, albeit it supported
this ticket at the election. 1t does
feel though, that it owes it to the
people to remind them of the facts
in cases of this kind.
