CONDITION OF ROADWAY BEFORE USING
DRAG.

drag. That lies in making it too
heavy. 1t should be 50 light that one
man can easily lift it. Besides, light
drag responds more readily to various
methods of hitcbing and to the shift
ing Of the position and weight Of the
operator, both Of which are essential
considerations.
A dry red cedar log is the best ma
terial for the drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are excel
lent, and box elder, soft maple and even
willow are preferred to oak, hickory or
ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slab should be selected for the
front. The two slabs should be held
thirty inches apart by the stakes. A
strip Of iron about three and half
feet long, three or four inches wide
and one-fourth inch thick may be used
for the blade. This should be attach
ed to the front slab. A platform Of
inch boards. held together by three
cleats, should be placed on the stakes
between the slabs. An ordinary trace
chain is strong enough to draw the
implement, provided the clevts IL not
fastened through link. y:
The successful operation Of drag
involves two principles which, when
thoroughly understood and intelligent

this implement simple. The first con-

ordinary purposes the snatch link or

toward the blade end Of the chain to

THE USE OF IA COUNTY
POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.

Since the substitution of the
primary election system of nominal
ton of candidates for the county and
legislative Offices for the county and
congressional convention system, the
congressional convention has been
dropped, and the interest manifested
IN the county convention by the voters
in general seems scarcely to Justify the
expense of publishing the notices.

the duration OF the life of any

HOW SOME MEN FALL IN LOVE.
Propinquity Accounts for Some of the
 Oddly Assorted Couples.

In the case of men propinquity ac- counts, perhaps, for some of the most oddly assorted couples. If a man sees woman at irregular intervals for any length of time she becomes a habit, and the moment he becomes conscious of the habit he usually proposes, pre- ferring to take the ills he thinks he knows rather than those he wots not of. Here, again, the cloak of habit obscures from him the fact that she dresses badly and is approximately jealous of other women that even if she did her hair with rather less re- semblance to wooden transfOrma ton she could never be attractive or punctual. If she makes him really comfortable the cloak may never. fall, and they count as a happily married couple.

the fact will become known at that

that time.
One year in the penitentiary was the
sentence pronounced in the case OF

Washington, April 2.-Widely di-

will follow the naval appropriation
bill. Chairman Mann, who will act
as sponsor of the bill, though opposed
to some of its provisions, will seek
on Monday to fix date for the bill to
be taken up.

fits upon tht public.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court. declares "no untried
experimental legislation of a doubtful
constitutional character. should be en-
tered upon by congress at time when
neither consumers. shippers nor rail-
roads ask for such legislation"
The minority members, while ear
nest advocates of federal supervision
of interstate railroads, attack the bill
as paternalistic.
Still another set of views is pre-
sented by Messrs. Simms of Tennessee
and Russell of Texas, democratic
members of the committee, who refuse
to sign the minority report although
in favor of some of its features.
Mr. Richardson of Alabama. who
signed the minority report, believes
the bill leads to government owner

amendment prescribing PHYSICAL valu-
alton instead of fluctuating value of
capital stock as basis for ascertain
ing a fair rate.

FAMILY
HAS THE H00KW0RM

Walla Walla, Wash, April q
Probably never before has case of
hook-worm been discovered this far
north, but there is a family of six
living near Freewater on the inter-
urban line which is now suffering
with this dreaded disease. Owing to
the sandy condition of the soil in and
| around Milton and Freewater it is
possible that the neighboring inhabi-
| tants will fall a victim to the ravages
| of the disease which John ID. Rookie
feller has donated one million dollars
To stamp out of the south.
DR.. Edward Montgomery of this
| city, has the cases well in hand though
he realizes that great precaution will
have to be taken to prevent the spread
Of the disease. If the contagion once
gets into the soil ii would be almost
] impossible to prevent it spreading to
| other persons until next winter when
| the severe cold would in all proba-
bility kill the dreaded plague.
DIR. Montgomery refuses to make
known the name of the family suffer-
ing with the disease but after care
full consideration has arrived at the
conclusion that there is no mistake
and that the hook-worm has invaded
the Walla Walla valley
The family originally came from
Smith county, Tennessee, near Nash
vile. About two years ago they NOV
ed to Oklahoma and last fall moved
to Weston, Ore, coming to the ranch
on which they now live about six
weeks ago. DR.. Montgomery is inclin-
ed TO believe that they contracted the
disease while living In the south and
have brought it north with them.
This belief was also strengthened con-
siderably when the father of the fam
lily admitted to the physician that the
entire family had, while living in the
south what is commonly known as
"ground itch" 1t is believed by many
who have studied the disease that
the germ enters through the pores OF
the feet first.
