Johnson has asked the management to
allow him to enter the races at the
September meet. but this request will
be refused as the color line is drawn
at all the automobile race courses in

speedway, said the manager of john
son had made application on behalf of
the fighter, to enter the races, and If
he could not enter the speed contests
to make arrangements for an automo-
bile racing exhibition number with
Johnson as the driver Fisher said the
management of the speedway would
not consider the proposition to allow
Johnson to enter the race, but that ar

the celebrated course.
1t is a we'll known fact all over the
country that Johnson is speed crazy, as
he has been arrested in many cities for
violating the automobile speed laws

ton for the negro and only recently he
made application to enter the Wander

plans for staging in San Francisco the
last of August a twenty round boxing

several athletes lost their tempers. two

with Manager Chance administering
verbal castigation to one of the box

That tempestuous round also was
signalized by a double exodus. Magee
kicked himself into the clubhouse
thereby handicapping the team for the
rest of the day. Not to let 1t be said
that the Cubs took a mean advantage
of their guests. John Evers Immediate

double play hard enough to be chased

trouble. for the rest of the men on both
teams were careful on account of the

playing at the local park this season as
cIassed as the best in Chicago but have

Greys have world wide reputation as
the fastest little performers in the
Semi Pro ranks.
With two excellent hurlers Hammond

innings was all they played, the big
East Chicago team taking the grounds

WASHINGTON, D. c., ITEMS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Forty-five
| Senators, all from the conservative
or regular" wing Of the membership
are said to have joined in the move
ment to formulate new Administra-
ton legislative program.
AS utterly impossible for the con-
servatiYes to reach, the regulars have
classed Beverage, Bristow, Clapp.
Cummins, Dolliver and La Toilette.
The men on whom the regular Re-
publicans are still working, and who
will receive the attention of President
Taft, include Bourne, Dixon, Gamble
and Nelson. All of these men have
voted with the insurgents from time
to time. They have refused, however,
to be called insurgents, and have been
found in the ranks of the regulars at
least half of the time.
Insurgent Senators say they will
not be swerved from their course on
the railroad bill, no matter what tao
tics are pursued by the conservative
Republicans. This announcement was
made at the conclusion of an insur-
gent conference by Senator Cummins
of Iowa.
The House rejected the Washburn
amendment to the railroad bill, pro-
viding that section II, prohibiting
acquisition of competing lines, shall
not affect any leases of railroad prop
erty made prior to January /, 1910,
for period of 20 years" The Adam.
son amendment to the same section,
exempting any railroads entirely with.
In one state, was defeated. 121 to IA.
The House then struck out the entire
section II Of the railroad bill, pro-
hibiting the acquisition of the stock
OF competing lines. The vote was
131 to 1913.
The prospects for a postal savings
bank bill of some sort are improving.
For four days the Hose committee on
postoffices and post roads had the bill
under informal discussion. and it is
said that from the great variety and
volume of views expressed, there is
beginning to appear possible ground
for agreement. Just what this basis
may be 1t is not yet easy to predict.

Dry Farming Congress

The economic Importance of the
dry farming movement to the In
land Empire, and it's practical
value to individual farmers of this
district can hardly be over esti-
mated. In the first place more
than nine-tenths of the agricultural
products of the Inland Empire are
grown under the conditions OF a
limited rainfall, under which the
methods of so-called dry farming"
must be carefully practiced if the
best results are to be obtained. In
the second place, these methods are
the most skillful and require the
highest degree of intelligence OF any
class of farm operations known to
agricultural science. Success or
failure lie. so close together and are
determined by such comparatively
small changes in methods as to
make thorough understanding OF
the best of the highest Importance.
The fifth sessions of the dry farm
ing congress in Spokane, Oct. 8 to
6, will bring together more experts
in dry farming practice than have
ever been upon public platform
at any one time or place before.
The exposition in connection with
the congress affords a means for
showing to the world what has been
produced as a result of the apph-
cation of the best methods of dry
farming to our conditions. Govern
ment officials and agriculturists
who have visited the broad fields
of the Inland Empire are unitedin
the opinion that in no other part
OF the United States are the meth
DDS of scientific tillage so we'll de.
veloped and SO intelligently prac-
ticed. A display of the products
serves the two-fold purpose of in
struction as to what ideal tillaee
may accomplish and exhibition OF
the wonderful possibilities in the
Inland Empire. Therefore, every.
farmer and business man who isin
any way identified with the derel-
opment of this wonderful country
has a personal interest in the expo
sition.

Going After the Stumps

Standpoint, Idaho, May "a
movement which may ultimately
result in the clearing of the vast
valley here, and converting it from
an area of stumps to a fertile or
chard and garden, was started when
an association composed of some Of
the leading business men and mer-
chants was formed and articles Of
incorporation prepared to be filed
with the county auditor and secre-
tary of state
The corporation was capitalized
at $4,000 and of this amount
$4,000 has already been sub
scribed.
The organization is for the ex-
press purpose of clearing logged
over lands and getting them in
readiness for the pillow. J. R. Law,
owner of the Law additions and
one of the heavy land owners of
Bonner county; Byron S. Defen
bach, E. d. Farmin, Andrew Chris
tenson and Eugene w. Sims were
elected as board of directors. Mr..
Law is president, Mr.. Defenbach,
vice president; Mr.. Farmin, treas
urer, and Mr.. Sims. secretary.
The members of the company
propose to adopt the latest methods
of clearing land and to bring the
work down to a science. The latest
machinery will be purchased, and
only experienced powder men en-
ployed to do the work. They will
do general land clearing business
and may in some instances take
land IN payment sor clearing done.
For some time past Mr.. Defen-
bach, especially, has been inter-
ested in the stump removal ques-
ton, and he has given it much
study. He. as well as the other
members of the association, is firm
believer in the future of the Pend
Oreille valley when the stumps
have been removed and the vast
acreage converted into orchards
and meadows. The land is partic-
ularly adapted to fruit raising and
the growing of hay, and in case the
accomplishments of the association
are in keeping with their hopes
wonders will be accomplished.

81 Is e
LONDON, May 9.-All England is in
mourning over the death of King Ed
ward VII, municipalities, churches and
societies of all sorts have met to pass
eulogies on the late monarch and OF
fer good wishes to his successor. The
courts and business houses have been
closed; sports and entertainments OF
every type have been dropped; So
ciety has cancelled its engagements.
The whole kingdom, indeed, is
nation in mourning. Ireland has for

King Edward died almost before his
subjects had begun to realize that ne
was seriously i'll. He was taken sick
a week ago. After three days seri-
Gus complication began to develop.
The fourth day his physicians issued
bulletin that stirred the whole nation
to its depths. On the sixth day the
King was dead.
The shock to Great Britain and to
the world had been tremendous, not
in national way, for the death OF
the King has been discounted in the
markets for many years, but to the
Empires sentimentality. King Ed
ward was sincerely loved throughout
the length and breadth of England's
possessions.
The King died from pneumonia at
11:45 the night OF May 6, at Bucking
ham Palace, and at the same mo-
ment the crown and scepter Of the
Empire of Great Britain passed auto
matically to his son and heir, Prince
George of Wales, now George v.
Nearly all members of the Kings
immediate family were at his bedside
when the King died. Just before the
end came, the royal patient rallied
and spoke weakly to those about him.
II know it is all over" he said, "but
think I've done my duty
