BALL|NGER IS GRILLED
LAWYER GETS ADMISSION OF DIS
 GARMENT FROM SECRETARY.
Shows Existence of Interior Depart. ment Rulings Which Must Have
 Been Violated.

Washington, D. G.-The existence of rulings in the interior department which MT. Ballinger must have violat- ed in appearing before the general land office in behalf of the Cunning ham coal claimants, after his retire ment as commissioner, was brought out by Attorney Brandels in cross-ex- amining the secretary of interior in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation.
 Mir. Brandels got an admission from MT. Ballinger that he had been barred from appearing before the land office by similar ruling in another case subsequent to his activity in the Gun ningham cases and prior to his becom- ing secretary of the interior.
 MT. Ballinger said he had not called these rulings to the attention of the president to assist him in reaching a conclusion on the Glavis charges be- cause he did not think there was any law to sustain them.
 The committee decided to grant the car Lawler, assistant attorney general for the interior department, be asked to furnish the original or copies in his possession of the memorandum which he prepared for the president last September, and which MT. Bran dels intimated the president followed in writing his letter vindicating Bal finger and dismissing L. R. Glavis. By unanimous vote the committee re- fused to ask the president for similar information.
 Attorney Brandels had almost con- cluded the cross-examination of MT. Ballinger when the hearing was ad- journed until Thursday.

is inclined to object to some of his methods since he has been in office. It is likely Mir Bryan does not believe that Senator Root, by his statement of the case of the administration, can en- tirely convince the colonel that Mir. Taft has been sincere and whole heart ed in his endeayors to secure the fur therance of the Roosevelt policies.
 Taft's Friends Not Uneasy.
 There are in Washington friends of MT. Taft, who also are friends of Mir. Roosevelt, who say that MT. Bryan is utterly mistaken and that when the colonel returns it will be found that he is still loyal to the man who sue ceeded him in the White House. Sena- tor Root, as one has had occasion to write before, was depended upon by MT. Roosevelt when he was president to give him advice from a strict con- servative point of view The colonel has implicit confidence in his secre- tary of state, the man who now is senator from the state of New York. The friends of MT. Root say that noth- III D A-SAo AoPPShCo tO (Ac%ASC NAiC colonel's opinion of the senator. and that if any man can bring MT. Roose- velt to the belief that MT. Taft is ab- solutely sincere and is doing all that be can along the lines of progressive legislation, that man is Elihu Root.
 Most recent political gossip is to the effect that when Colonel Roosevels comes back he will enter the field against Chauncey M. Depew for United States senatorial honors in New York state. Republicans, insurgents" and regulars alike, and the Democrats also, say that if Mir. Roosevelt should make up his mind to be a senator of the United States there would be no con- test between him and Mr Depew worthy of name. The feeling is that the colonel would sweep everything before him, as least as far as the Re- publicans are concerned, and that his only fear of defeat would come from Democratic victory in the state, vic tory which would elect Democratic legislature.

but it was said that in view of the out come of the first it was unlikely the latter would be pressed AS a result of these charges and the delay in get ting a trial ne declared he had lost about s5,000,000.
 The verdict was greeted with cheers that would have done credit to crowd at a baseball game.
 Heinze had tears in his eyes as he shook each juryman by the hand. He could not trust himself to speak. Friends and relatives, women and men, overwhelmed him with congratu- lations. Some flung their arms around his neck and were restrained from kissing him only by the crowd of strangers present.
 Sensation in Court.
 Earlier in the day another sensation al scene had been enacted. Arthur P. Heinze, brother of the accused had in terrupted the district attorney as the latter was addressing the jury, to call him liar, and had promptly been ejected by order of the court.
 The acquittal of HeinZe was contrast ed with the conviction, in the same court room and before the same judge, of an associate of Heinze, Charles w. Morse, who was also charged with vio- lation of the national banking law. If Morse's case the accusation of false entries in the books of his bank had been added to that of misapplication It was on the false entry charges that Morse was found guilty and sentenced to years in prison.
 Outside the court room Heinze made the following statement:
 T am naturally pleased with the verdict, but not at all surprised. The thing I most regret is the long delay in bringing the case to trial. I have been ready for trial every day since the first indictment was returned, two years and a half ago This delay has cost me between s4,0eO, ,000 and s5,0oo,- 900.
 Possibly some persons who were very anxious to see me convicted will be almost as we'll satisfied with this as though I had been found guilty, for the ruination of my credit seems te have been one of the objects most viciously aimed at"

James River Dam Bill.

Will President Taft veto the James river dam bill?
 On the answer to this question in- tense interest is hanging. The con- servationists of the country believe that President Taft will see his way clear to forbid the enactment into law of the bill, but the friends of the meas ure insist that the president. being judicial minded" will find that it is drawn in strict accordance with law, and that he cannot fail consistently to affix his signature.
 If the president makes up his mind to sign this bill when it comes before him, he will nullify one of the acts of Theodore Roosevelt which the friends of conservation say showed more conclusiyely than anything else the real heartfelt interest of the colonel of Rough Riders in measures to safeguard the peoples heritage of natural re- sources

Issue Closely Drawn.

This matter in the minds of many re- solves itself into this: "A sharp-drawn issue, with conservation as its basis, between the resource-saying policies of | Theodore Roosevelt and those of Will liam H. Taft It has been charged by some of the extreme conservation ists that President Taft is not wholly in sympathy with their movement. If i he signs the James river dam bill they will say that the fact has been proved. On the other hand, there are those who say that MT. Roosevelt went to an ex- treme in vetoing the measure and that the grounds which he gave for his veto were outside of the field of reason.
 This particular James river is in Missouri, and the purpose of the bill is to permit certain specific persons to construct a dam across it in Stone county and to divert portion Of it's waters through channel into the river again to create electric power. The James river is nayigable stream, at least it is so held to be in part, and l for this reason MT. Roosevelt felt that the federal government had complete jurisdiction, and the fact that congress sional legislation is necessary for the construction of the dam in a large measure proves the contention.
 The bill, which is a counterpart of tho vetoed measure, legalizing the dam construction, again has been reported | to the senate and it seems likely that it will pass.
 Why Roosevelt Vetoed It. In order that it may be understood just how sharp the issue will be made between MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt, if l the former signs the bill, it is worth while to quote from the Roosevelt veto message:
 ''To give away. without conditions, this, one of the greatest of our re. sources, would be an act of folly. If we are guilty of it, our children will be 1 forced to pay an annual return upon a capitalization based upon the highest prices which the traffic will bear. | They will find themselves face to face with powerful interests intrenched behind the doctrine of vested rights and strengthened by every defense which money can buy and the ingenu. ity of able corporation lawyers can 1 devise"
 1 In MT. Roosevelt's veto of the meas. ure he spoke of the great combinations | formed to control water power for the development of electric currents. He sa.4 that an astonishing consolidation ot the interests has taken place within the last five years, and that while the movement is still in its infancy, un- less it is controlled, the history Of the oil industry (meaning the Standard Oil operations), will be repeated ill the hydro-electric power industry, and that the results would be far more oppres- siye and disastrous for the people," It can be readily understood from the tone of MT Roosevelt's veto why 1t is that the conservationists and also the friends of the James River dam bill are awaiting with extreme interest the action of President Taft when this bill is brought to him for sanction or for veto.

crop the coming summer. Not par
ticle of damage has been done to most
tender varieties of fruit. The peach
buds are in perfect condition and a
large crop is anticipated. 1t will not
be as large as some suppose for there
was considerable damage to peach
trees in some localities one year ago
in January past. On lower ground
near us, the peach trees we're killed
down so that many of them had to be
cut back to Is and 20 inches OF the
ground. These cut off trees in most
cases started new tops but they will
bear but few peaches the coming sum-
mer. Some old peach trees we're SO
damaged by that hard freeze that they
were practically ruined. In our young
peach orchard containing over 1000
trees planted four, five and six years
and they are in perfect condition. If
we escape damage from the spring
frosts, we are likely to have % or 30
carloads of peaches this year. OF
course we know that we must run the
gauntlet at blooming time and may
have light crop but, judging from
past experience, we will not have a
failure. This new peach orchard is as
high up as one can be and be under
the ditch.
AS | stood in the door of our house
on the ranch, we could see two gangs
of graders at work on two railroads
near by. One is the North Coast and

but is generally known to be branch
of the Northern Pacific. They run
side by side fol- many miles. They
cross the corner Of our pasture and

in the packi ng and is not figured in
it's contents. The barrel is firm and
cannot be distended, the material used
in our boxes is very thin, especially
that used in the tops and bottoms,
and is capable of much distention
Apples must be pressed into both
boxes and barrels so as to be tight in
either case. This pressing does not
increase the size CT the barrel hut does
increase the size of the box. I have
carefully measured and I figured this
increase in many boxes and know
that the average is about DOT cubic
inches. In some cases it is more in
some cases less than this sum, but
give the average. We can not pack
our apples in boxes and have them
just as level full for they would be
loose in the box and would be damag-
ed in being transported tc market
AS just stated the apples must be
pressed into the barrel but when this
is done the barrel will contain 72G
cubic inches of space. Make the box

as we always do, and it will contain
1894 cubic inches and three such boxes
which are supposed to contain just as
much as the one BARREL will in reality
contain 7647 inches or just 621 more
cubic inches than the barrel. Is this
just? The fact is the box whose con-
tents is variable should never be made
| to sustain a definite relation to the
barrel whose contents is without APP
preciable variation. There is as little
sense in such LEGISLATION as there
would be by legislation to try to make
n "square peg fit round hole''
There is no need or such legislation
and [ have such confidence in the
good judgment of our congressman
that dc net believe they will ever
pass such a law if they understand
this matter in its true light.
If tho law muSt Ta6no tho oubic
contents of the apple box, then why
not adopt the Standard Apple Box of
the Northwest or the Special Calfor-
MIA box? The Standard box contains
2173.5 cubic inches 'without disten-
tion of parts' and with the parts it's
contents is $685. cubic inches or
1876 cubic inches more than one third
of the barrel required by the Lafean
bill.
But why single out the apple box
and regulate it? Why should not the
pear box, the plum and prune box,
the peach box, the cherry box, the
orange box and the lemon box be re-
gulated? Such special legislation
looks very much like there is ga mig

hoped that Senator Jones and others
who are our friends in this contro-
versy may be able to smoke him out.

pulverized. If, however, the land
still breaks up in clods, or in any
case, the land should be narrowed
with a smoothing harrow Immediate
ly after breaking. First, the clods
are much more easily pulverized than
they will be at any later time until
dissolved by heavy rains, and second.
the narrowing will help tC at once
settle the land back into a position
which will tend to prevent too great
drying out or loss of moisture. To
do this narrowing to the best ad-
vantage the plowing should stop long
enough before taking out for dinner
to harrow all that has been broken
that morning. The same thing
should be done in the evening and
all land broken since dinner har-
rowed before the finish of the davis
work
AT least one or two additional
harrowings should be given the land
before seeding, at intervals of, say
two weeks, or as soon after a rain as
the land is in condition to work.
If the land is broken in this way
and at least a month before seeding
we think that it will generally pay
to break the land for fall sowed
crops.
Of course, this amount of labor
put on the oat and wheat lands in
creases the cost of the crop, but if
done with a two or three-horse
team to each man, it will usually
pay and is not too much cultivation
to give the land for any crop.

Ihe rush of other work at this
season or the year is the reason gen.
orally given for failure to better pre-
pare the land for the fall soved
crops, but if We do this work with
maximum of horse and machine
power and a minimum of man labor
this objection is largely overcome.
In case the land is well broken for
a pea crop, and we repeat that in
such a case we would prefer not to
break it again unless it can be done
some time before seeding and the
land narrowed as above described.
then disking alone may be sufficient.
We advise a thorough disking some
time before seeding and following
with a harrow, and then giving il
another disking and narrowing be-
lore seeding. In a very dry season,
or II no rain is received on the land
after it is broken and before seeding.
1t is frequently found that a better
stand is obtained when the land Is
simply disked and narrowed instead
OF being plowed. Better preparation
of the oat and wheat lands is the
point to be aimed at, but we must
always keep in mind a settled seed
bed, which will better retain the
needed moisture to germinate the
seeds.-Progressive Farmer.
