TAFT'S
ADDRESS
DELIVERED ON HIS IN
AUGURAL DAY.
NEW PRESIDENT FOLLOWS GOOD
MANY LINES OF THE
ROOSEVELT POLICIES.

President Taft begins his administra-
ton with deficit in revenue for the
current fiscal year Of 500, 1000, 900, in
abiding to which he says that should
it be impossible to overcome this
through the tariff new kinds of taxa
ton must be adopted. Among these
he recommends graduated inheritance
tax as correct in principle and easy Of
collection.
In further comment on the immigra-
ton question, clearly with reference to
Jap troubles on the Pacific coast, the
new president followed the lines of
Roosevelt Is policy in regard to substi-
tuting federal control for state aurnor-
ity in these matters.
One of the reforms named by Taft
to be carried out during his admins
tration is change Of the monetary
and banking laws, and in accomplish
ing this he places confidence in the
work of the monetary commission ap-
pointed to investigate the financial sys-
TENS of Europe and formulate a plan
for the United States.
In other respects Taft's announce
ment of policy closely follows the ideas
of Roosevelt. He urged conservation
of natural resources upbuilding of the
army and navy to degree that will
give all possible assurance of peace and
find the nation prepared for war if
war comes; and noninterference with
the work of completing the Panama
canal. At the present rate of progress
he prophesied that this, the greatest
undertaking of modern times, would
be completed early in the next admin
istration if not before.
The incoming congress, the new
president declared, should fulfill the
republican promise of passing postal
savings bank bill, arguing that the
promise to repay by the government
will furnish an inducement to savings
deposits which private enterprise
can not supply, at such low rates as
not to withdraw custom from existing
banks, and will substantially increase
the funds available for investment as
capital in useful enterprises.
Inauguration of Sherman.
In the presence of vast audience,
with Taft and Roosevelt seated on the
dais, Vice President Fairbanks took his
farewell of the senate in a brief and
earnest address, administered the oath
to James Schoolcraft Sherman and de-
clared the Goth congress adjourned.
The new vice president called the SEN
ate of the 61st congress to order and
Chaplain Edward Everett Hale offered
prayer in behalf of the new administra-
ton.

THE GROWING OF FRUITS.
Instructive Article by Prof. Thornber
of State College.

Conservation Of moisture as one of
the essential factors to successful hor-
ticulture is urged by w. S. Thornber,
professor of horticulture in Washing
ton State College at Pullman, south
Of Spokane. The growing of fruits
in the semi-arid districts in the north.
west as well as in other parts of the
United States and Canada is a phase
of horticulture which has received
little or no attention in the past, hence
it will be good news to many that by
a system of careful cultivation and
rigid selection of varieties and care
in selection Of trees and vines many
fruits can be grown in the dry dis
tricts. Professor Thornber's argument
follows:
1t will be necessary to practice great
care in the conservation of moisture
to make it possible for a tree to grow
and produce fruit in these sections
This is to be considered as a most
important phase. We must make use
of all the moisture that falls, ana
make use of every practice that will
conserve this moisture.
A certain amount of well-rotted ma
nure added to the land will help hold
the moisture much better than where
no manure is used. Almost every
farmer and fruit grower is familiar
with the methods of tillage that con-
serve moisture. Deep, thorough tillage
in spring and constant shallow tillage
during the summer will do more to
make fruit grow in these dry sections
than any other phase of cultivation.
Thus by the addition of well-rotted
manure, or the growing of cover
crops until the ground is in good con-
dition, and carefully conserving the
moisture that falls, or can be secured,
much fruit can be raised where none
has been raised in the past.
Following closely upon the manage
ment and care of these fruit planta-
tions we must select such varieties of
fruits as will mature before the very
dry part of the summer comes on, or
such varieties as will stand an un-
usual amount of drouth. This then
limits the number of varieties of ap-
pies to few winter kinds. The Rome
Beauty apple and WAGNER will STAND
more neglect and produce fair sized
fruit on dry land than any other va
riety that we have thus far tested
in our large experiment station or
chard.
Varieties like the Winesap, the yell
low Newtown, the Jonathan and the
Spitzenberg, while they do remark
ably well where the conditions are
favorable, fail almost absolutely if
there is not sufficient water to supply
these later maturing fruits.
Under no circumstances should they
be used in the dryer sections unless
plenty of water can be supplied. If
a person desires an early maturing

VIII Appear in Lecture by Himself
at Spokane, March 1S.

at Spokane, March IS.
The lecture of Admiral Robley d.
Evans, Fighting Bob" which will be
given in the Armory, Spokane, March
IS, promises to be one of the events Of
the season, as the admiral has proven
to be as great success on the platform
as on the bridge of battleship and
his lecture "From Hampton Roads to
San Francisco" is said by eastern
critics to be masterpiece.
Crowded houses have greeted him
wherever he has appeared and judging
by the interest already taken in Spo-
kane, that city will prove no exception.
His lecture contains stories Of the
many things seen and done in his
strenuous forty years of service told
as only he can tell it. From what We
can learn, the admiral has the peculiar
faculty of being able to talk to the in
dividual listener in such a manner ~
to hold him spellbound and send him
homo wishing he could have heard moro
Of it.
The 10000 club is to be congratu-
lated in securing this, the greatest Of
our heroes for Spokane appearance.
The tickets will be on sale at the
piano store, southeast corner Sprapue
and Post street, Monday, March 8, at
81 each, and can be secured by mail
by sending check or money order to
