Couldn't Give Away His Own
Land as a Reward for Industry

The well known scotsman, Mr..
John A. Salzer, has just made cur
ious discovery. AS you readers know,
Mr.. Salzer is offering $500 in gold to
the person who names his newest breed
of seed corn. But, did you know that
Mr.. Salzer had planned in addition to
the $500 prize, to give away absolutely
free, four fine Wisconsin clover farms!
The plan was to give these farms to
the four men who got the biggest
crop per acre from Salzer's "Rejuve-
mated White Bonanza oats. The de-
tails we're all arranged even to the ex-
tent of writing the adveI tisements an
nOuncing the free farms to the public.
But the United States Postal authorl-
ties, at the last moment, stated that
they we're unfavorable to the free farm
feature, much to the surprise and
disappointment of Mr.. Salzer. The
government officials did not for a
moment question Mr.. Salzer' lnten-
ton of giving away the fine farm, but
the techniral point, as to whether or
not the proposition amounted to
lottery, came up. Rather than delay
his ertisments, pending the gov
ernment's final decision, Mr.. Salzer
left out the farm announcement.
By the way, Salzre's 1910 Seed Book
is wonder. Literally Cverfiowing
with pictures and descriptions of ex-
ceIlent seed, priced right. 1t is a
Cracking good book" as MIR. Salzer
enthusiastically said few days ago
Why don't you try to name the
"Nameless" corn and win that SOU
prize? You haven't anything to lose
by trying. Just send in YOUR sugges-
ton by letter or postal. You will be
gold you did. You will be nightly
pleased with the Salzer Seed Book,
even though you shouldn't win the
$500. Just write, "Please send your
new Seed Catalogue and consider this
name (then give name) for your
conn.," Add your own name and ad-
dress. The card should be sent The
John A. Salzer Seed Co., III S. 9Th
st. Lacrosse, Wis.," Nobody should
think of buying a farm or garden seed
until he overlooks the Salzer 1910
Seed Book. Its one of the best.

Small Stock Shipments.

Washington, Feb. 1O-One contrib
uting cause to the high price of meat,
according to a report of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor issued
today, is the fact that livestock re-
receipts for the year 1909, at seven
leading interior markets of the United
States, we're the lowest for five years.
The total live stock receipt for i9O9
in these markets aggregated 80, 3d.
725 head. Particularly did the re-
ceipts of hogs for the last year fall OFT.
For each of the four years previous
to 1909 the hog receipts had been IN
excess of 100000 head, totaling
more than 1000, 600 in 1908, falling
to Is, S34, GAL last year.
Cattle receipts in these markets for
1903, 1S9, 312-while comparing IA
vorably with those of previous years,
fell below the totals for three years
before 1908. Sheep fell below those
in 1905 to 1907, but compared favorably
with 1908.
While the total number of cattle re-
ceipts at the seven principal markets
we're larger than the year before, the
1909 cattle receipts at Chicago ., 929-
8O5 head fell below the 100000
mark for the first time since 1902.
The largest losses since 1905 appear
70 undor tho head of canned meats
the loss amounting to about 70 per
cent. and of lard, the shipments OF
which declined about per cent since
that year.
The report also shows that grain re
ceipts at fifteen of the principal mark
cts during 1909 were 744, 624, 600 bu-
shells, which Was lower than for any
year since 1904.

for marketing all kinds of livestock
will be found here and packing opera
tions will constantly expand. The
opening of the new Swift plant means
that sou people will be employed there
at first and within che year it is like
ly that this number will be doubled.
Not only will the Swift plant in
crease its operations constantly but
other packing plants and factories for
the utilization of by-ploducts will be
built in the stockyards district. Com
petition for the stock raised through
out the Northwest will be secured and
good prices assured. The new indus

The origin of the disease is mysterl-
Gus and it is not known how the
horses on Reser's ranch became att
ected. The disease effcts various
parts of the body and is accompanied
by high fever, which is noticeable
every other day.
Animals afflicted with the disease
rarely recover, the death rate being
about SO per cent.
DR.. Nelson states that it is battling
him. His assistant, DR.. j. w. kal-
kus, at Pullman, is working on the
disease in the labratory.

est price paid here for cattle for the
local markets in several years. |. b.
Henshaw, OF the Palace market,
bought ID yearling steers from Ed
Hogan, a farmer living south of town,
today. The steers averaged $50 pounds
each, and brought Mr.. Hogan $433
each, or $3.50 for the % head. Beef
cattle are getting scarce and higher
prices are expected. Fears are en-
tertained that enough fat cattle to
supply the home markets cannot be
had locally and that shipments of
dressed beef from the east will have
to be made before grass fed cattle are
put on the market.

A Beautiful Catalog.

The 1910 Seed Annual of the Port
land Seed Co., which in both Size
and artistic quality eclipses all prevl-
Gus catalogues issued by this I'll m, is
a credit not only to the company but
to the Pacific Northwest. The book is
profusely illustrated and is entirely
the product of this coast. Every bit
of information is based upon the many
years experience Of this firm in sup
plying northwest growers With seeds,
poultry supplies and bee supplies. All
the engravings and printing itself were
executed to order for the Portland
Seed Co., right in Portland. The color
plates in the catalogue were made di
rect from photographs of growing
crops in the Northwest and are typical
of this country.
1t is said that the Portland Seed
Co., numbers over 10, 600 live custom
ers on it's books. The reason for this
is easy to understand. Serving west
ern growers with western seeds, adj
apted to western soils and western
climate and western seasons for nearly
a quarter of century, cannot fail to
build up a far stronger clientele in
this section than any eastern seeds
man could possibly secure. The ex-
perience of the Portland Seed Co. is
reflected in splendid scientific cultuI-
al suggestions throughout the annual.
1t is practically a hand book for gar
dening. AS is it's custom the Port
land Seed 20. will send this book free
postpaid upon request. Inquirers for
tioning The Ranch in writing.

SEYLER TELLS HOW
JANE ADAMS DIED
Declares Girl Fell Over Rail
While Quarreling.

Atlantic City. \. J.. Feb. 22.-Jane
Adayns. whose body was. found in the
.surf on February Il. ta.asle5 over ss,e
raii Of the pier into the ocean while
backing away from William seyler dur
ing quarrel. according to the state
ment Of the man to the police.
Although Seyler refused absolutely TO
admit that he was attempting to as
saut the girl when she met her tragic
death. the police stin hold to this theory
and are working 10 establish case that
will warrant them in holding Seyler for
murder Under the New Jersey law an
attempt at assault which results in the
death OF the victim is murder.
The substance Of Seylers confession
is to the effect that the girl met her
death by accident Seyler declares that
he saw her back toward the railing
and suddenly tumble into the ocean
The man declares that he rushed down
the ladder leading TO the water in the
hope Of grabbing the girl. but she never
came up The man insisted vehementiy
that he had no intention Of assauIting
the girl. but has made no satisfactory
statement regarding the cause Of the
quarrel that caused the girl TO run from
him
The spot pointed out by Seyler as the
place where the tragedy occurred is d.
rectly over the beat landing of the pier.
where the police found what they believe
to be blood stains. SeyIer also joins with
the police in the theory that the girls
body struck the landing in It's fall, caus-
ing the terrible bruising OF her face and
the deep scar over her eye. which sur
geons declare TO have been enough to
have caused her death.
The remainder Of Seyler's confession
deals with his fright when he discovered
that the girl he'd gone 10 her death. and
that he would probably be connected with
the affair L went home to think it over"
he said, but when Mrs Adams came
over to the house and accused me OF
making away with her daughter, I lost
my nerve and beat it.
Seyler admitted that he had told his
brother about the tragedy. and persuaded
him to leave town also TO prevent being
mixed up in the case. Although Mrs
Seyler has been told of her husbands
confession, she still insists that he did
not murder Jane Adams. and promises to
stick by him

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.-In-
stead of martial law, it was mob
rule in the greater part of Philadel-
phia to-day. The former situation
now seems inevitable.
The first brigade of the Philadel-
phia National Guard, stationed
here, is already assembled in the
aumories. The Third Brigade is
being modified in the central por-
ton of the State to be ready for i'm
mediate action.
The State Fencibles, a military
organization, composed of veterans
of the Spanish war, were utterly
annihilated by the crowd that at
tackled them wherever they at
tempted TO go on duty. Many of
them were stripped of their uni
forms. Their rifles were seized
and used as clubs upon them.
Mob Near City Hall.
Inasmuch as in the mill district OF
Kensington not a car turned a wheel, the
center of disturbances late in the day
was Market street, a few blocks from the
City Hall
An aged man was crushed and killed by
a mob in front Of the Reading Terminal.
following an attack upon three cars Of
the Haddington division. Stones were
hurled through the windows. Passengers
fed in alarm, while the police with drawn
revoIVers vaInly attempted 10 hold back
the swarming thousands of rioters. Two
little boys were the victims of bullets in
the Kensington district. one of whom
may die.
After all the cars we're withdrawn al
O'Clock. the rioters hurled a dynamite
bomb in the loop district near Fairmount
Park. the missile partially destroying
Strawberry Mansion. which is one of the
historic entrances Of the park.
General Strike Next.
Although the strike leaders conferred
throughout the day as to the advisability
of a general strike. Charles Hope, secre-
tary of the Central Labor Union, an
nounced tonight that 100 Of the 800 locals
in the organization had already declared
a walk-out. This means that tomorrow
$4,000 men, in addition to $500 carmen.
viii be on strike.
Preparations for calling out the entire
State militia We're made during confer
ence at o'clock tonight between Mayor
Reyburn and Director Of Public Safety
Clay A petition to Gov. stuart, with
whom the mayor also conferred, was
drawn up tonight and signed jointly by
the mayor and Sheriff Gilfllan.
So far as the movement of cars was
concerned, the fourth day of the strike
ended as victory for the strikers. The
Transit Company made a brave showing
at the beginning of the day by placing
700 cars in operation, carefully omitting
TO run any of them in the direction of
KensingtOn.

Mahon Hall. at the Catholic University,
on Washington, the Christian" A large
and representative audience was present.
Washington was the son Of deeply re-

of England. and after the death of his
father, when ne himself was but ten
years old, was brought up in the creed
and catechism of that church under the
influence of a devout Christian mother,

was from boyhood attentive TO his re-

the deceney and propriety Of its cere-
monial worship.
He personally conducted prayers and
read the Scriptures on Sunday to his
command. How many young colonies in
any army were reading prayers these
Sundays of 1754 at the head of their
regiments? II took as much moral cour-
age TO do this in those days as it did OF
