More Merit Land to Be Plated

F. A. Reynolds has crew of survey
ors at work dividing 240 acres of land
adjoining the town site into one and
five acre tracts. The Great Northern
railway is engaged in grading for new
sidetrack alongside the land that is be-
ing plated and it is given out that the
railway company will build Y at this
point for the more convenient handling
of its cars during the period of construc-
ton of the snow sheds at Wellington,
and should the new tunnel, of which
there is much talk, be built this would
be the point for distributing supplies on
the east side OF the mountains. There
is a rumor aloat that the railway com
pany contemplates running its electric
motors as far east as Merit as soon as
the Y is completed.

Missouri Prosecutes Meat Packers

Attorney General Major of Missouri
began custer proceedings on Monday
by filing quo warranto informations in
the supreme court against the Armour
Packing Co., Morris & Co., Swift &
Co., Hammond Packing Co., and St.
Louis Dressed Beef & Provision Co.
The first three companies named are
charged with violating the antitrust
law and conspiracy, and the others
with conspiracy to control the business
in Missouri. Not only all kinds of
fresh and dressed meats, but lard, but
ter, eggs, cheese, poultry and agricul-
tural products were the commodities,
so the charges read, that the packers
sought to unlawfully control and fix
prices on. The attorney general will
endeavor to confscate their property
and drive them out of the state.

ROAD POLL TAX LAW OF 1903
Still in Force Repeating Law Defective and
Title of Other Laws Bad-First Time
All Embodied in One Work

That the road poll tax law Of 1908 i:
still in force is the conviction of the
authors of Remington & Ballinger'
Code of Washington which has just
been completed. 1t is pointed out
that the act of 1907, attempting to re-
peal this law, had a defective or mis-
leading title, as it failed to call atten-
ton to the subject Of poll tax in any
way whatever. The new code sets this
out in an explanatory note in contra
diction of an opinion Of the attorney
generals Office given long since that
the act of 1907 expressly repeals the
road poll tax law.
Defects in the title of other laws
have been discovered, including the
act of 1909 authorizing viaducts in
cities having a population Of $4,000
inhabitants according to the census OF
1900, of which the courts must take
judicial notice. The game laws in
force, concerning which there has been
heretofore more or less speculation, are
in this work made ferfectly clear.
Criminal legislation not covered in
the penal code of 1909 is herein set
out fully and clearly. This code the
supreme court OF the state has adopted
for reference in preference to the gen
eral statutes.
This is the first time in the history
of the state when all the laws Of the
state since 1850 have been embodied
in one work. The code is in two vol
umes, approximating almost 1000
pages. Great value, from the stand
point Of the lawyer, has been added to
the book by the thoro manner in which
it has been indexed, with its exhaust
i've cross-references and explanatory
notes. The original code was com
piled by R. A. Ballinger in 1897, and
the revision is the work of State Su-
preme Court Reporter Arthur Reming-
ton. of OlvmDia.

Rough Riders Give Teddy a Present

The Rough Riders Association pre-
sented their commander with a white
horse and gold-mounted saddle on his
return to New York the other day.
The horse was reared on the Texas
ranch of one of the rough riders and is
four years old. The saddle is the reg
ular cowboy pattern, with horn and
other parts inlaid with gold. Engrav-
ings on it represent mounted rough
riders, Texas steers, Indians, cowboys,
and the national flag.

tables when their own garden truck is
better than anything they can buy2 In
the valleys of the country are native
grasses in vast meadows and growing
waist high. Fields in the Tanana have
produced splendid crops of oats, and it
has been demonstrated that rye, barley,
and wheat can be successfully grown5
Here is an abundance of forage for
stock, and the opportunity for making
hay, which costs SIS a ton on the Yuk-
on and its tributaries. The summer
days of the Yukon valley are ideal hay
making days. Why should Alaska i'm
port hay when it grows on millions of
acres in the wilderness Of the territory,
and can be raised in fields by the sim
plest arts of agriculture? The wild
berries that go to waste every year in
Alaska would supply the needs of
million people.
It is obvious that Alaska needs farm
ers. There are a few farmers in the
country, but not until recently has any
body thot of going to Alaska to engage
in farming. The few pioneer farmers
engaged in the business because they
were shrewd enough to see the sure
returns and large profits. To any one
with a knowledge of farming there is
no uncertainty about agriculture in the
interior of Alaska The season is long
enough to mature many kinds of crops,
and the soil is rich and pliable. Alas

Must Have Been the Top of a Hill

A Spokane jury last Saturday found
two real estate men, Carl Eiseman and
Claude Paxson, guilty Of fraud in taking
advantage of woman in land deal,
and decreed that they should refund
$4,000 to the plaintiff, who is widow
from California. She had owned lit
tie home, including five lots, at Los
Gatos, CAL, and came to Spokane to
register in the land drawing last year.
Not being successful, she decided to
trade her home for fruit land and en-
tered into negotiations with defendants.
A trade was arranged for ten acres Of
Wenatchee land, and as there was some
reason for a quick deal, she was per
suaded to close without first looking at
the acreage, which afterward proved to
be Of little or no value.

Situation Seems Ridiculous

In the current number Of the Review
of Reviews, DR.. Albert Shaw, a close
friend and adviser of ex-President
Roosevelt, has this to say of the efforts
of the administration to punish the re-
publican insurgents in congress:
Who would have dreamed that this
composite Taft administration-made
up OF one northern democrat, one south
ern democrat, the able leader of the
insurgent faction Of Missouri repubi-
cans, a statesman from Pennsylvania
famous for demanding and allowing
the right of independent judgment,
and brilliant lawyer from New York
supposed at heart to be mugwump, il
not free trader-could have ventured
forth on a heresy-hunting crusade to
punish any man whose republican or
thodoxy might fail to respond to the
Payne-Aldrich test!
In political associations, as in reig-
ious bodies, the upholders of orthodoxy
have usually assailed the very men who
were the saving salt OF the organization
because they were honest and did theiI
own thinking. And who would ever
have supposed that man Of Mr.. Taft's
religious affiliations would have become
in politics an almost fanatical heresy-
hunter?
To read Senator Beveridge out of
the republican party in Indiana would
be something like trying to read Mr..
Roosevelt out of the republican party
Of the state OF New York. And as fol
the republicanism of Dolliver and Cum
Minis, it is at least substantially support
ed at home in Iowa by those who vote
the republican ticket.

LEAVENWORTH WON BY 6 TO 4
Off the Old Barbees of Seattle e-Next Sum-
day il VIII Be wenstchee's
Turn to Lose

The links seem to be off Leaven-
worth once more. Last Sunday the Old
Brbees journeyed from Seattle and
went down to defeat at Leavenworth's S
hands by the score of 6 to 4, in one Of
the prettiest games seen on the home
diamond this year. Pap Lee was again
in form and held the visitors down to
five hits, three OF which they collected
in Pap's unlucky eighth, which netted
them the only runs they made in the
game. Okkar for the Old Barbees held
Leavenworth down to four hits, but
they were made at the right moment.
Leavenworth scored one run in the 1st,
one in the 3rd, three in the 9th, and
one in the 9th. In the 9th inning,
with Lee on third and Bee on second,
Smith drove pretty two-bagger be-
tween right and center field, scoring
both men, and came home himself on
a pass ball. When little Robert came
ambling across the plate he was greeted
with a shower of washers, etc., and
went after them like Dan Patch doing
a mile in 1:56.
Precious caught for Leavenworth in
the absence of Sauder and did good
work considering the amount of prac-
tice he has had. Dutch Shubert, the
catcher for Old Barbee, furnished any
amount Of fun for the grandstand with
his quick wit and clown-like actions.
Take it all in all the visitors are
fine lot of fellows and the best Of
losers, and deserve very much credit
for the game they put up.
Next Sunday Wenatchee again jour
neys up here and one of the most hotly
contested games of the year is expect
ed. 1t will be good chance for the
rooters to give Wenatchee a real good
taste of Leavenworth roofing.

Railroads Working an Old Bluff

The report goes out from St. Paul
that the policy of retrenchment, threat
ened by the railroads because of federal
activity in preventing an increase in
freight rates, is being put in force, and
that the plan is not confined to any
one section Of the country. So far, il
has meant, says the report, the laying
off of about 10000 laborers in the
northwest, $4,000 Northern Pacific
men, 5000 Great Northern, and 900
Northwestern. The Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul laid off between 1000
and 1900 about two weeks ago in the
northern district, but for the present
that road is not following the policy oi
retrenchment in the northwest. The
Santa Fe and the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific have together let out about
$500 men.
/ President Elliott, of the N. P, is
quoted as saying: Increased taxes,
increased prices for labor and material,
and the enlarged powers Of the railroad
commission are all working to reduce
the net earnings OF railroad companies,
so that it seems prudent for the railway
officials to consider carefully not only
their duty to the travellers and shippers
over their roads, but also their duty to
the people whose money is invested in
railroads and the large class Of investors
to whom the roads must look for capi-
tai for additions, Improvements and ex-
tensions"

want to go you one or two better.
This weeks Case and Comment" a
little law magazine, gives the following
account Of a lawsuit, copied from the
Lancaster Law Review: In the vii
lagos of Luceran and Lanccque, in the
Alps, Maratimes, France, public holi-
day was kept to celebrate the end Of
great lawsuit which had kept the two
villages divided since Nov. IA, 1862.
The question of dispute was the pos
session of a piece Of land at Iowa,
which each village claimed. The
court at Nice definitely settled the
matter by dividing the land equally be-
tween the villages. The total cost of
the lawsuit during the 4.44 years of its
continuance amounted to 100000,
while the value of the land in dispute
was about f100. The law papers ac-
cumulated were docketed in 1856 par
GELS, which weighed 10 tons, and were
stored in a large disused church.
Figure it up at S4.84 to the pound
and see what the cost was in dollars
and cents. Yours truly, J. J. King.

The Fault of the Public

Ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri at the
Missouri society's dinner in the Wal
dorf Astoria, said Of corruption:
THE existence Of corruption is the
fault Of the people. The populace, in
stead of making a real effort and ridding
ITSELF OF corruption once for all, wriggles
uneasily and does nothing.
In fact, the populace adopts the
dangerous laisser-iaire policy of the boy
with the stomach ache.
You must not go swimming to-
day. this boys father said. You've
got the stomach ache you know
"'Oh, that'll be all right, father, said
the boy, 'I'll swim on my back"

Dry Farming in the West

Whenever the dry-farm boom strikes
a community it means the rapid rise in
land values and fat reaping for the
real estate man. Farmers who have
been prosperous and conservative in
their former homes join the rush to help
sell lands to newcomers, and the newt
able result of attempting to conduct a
real estate Office in the city and farm
from three to ten miles from town, is
the neglect of one or both. The faith
of some Of the newcomers to the West
in the productive powers of the semi
arid lands is marvellous. By merely
scratching the soil before planting crops
and by employing farming methods
that would put to shame the most
slovenly farmer on the rich lands of the
corn belt, remunerative returns are ex-
pected from land which the pioneers oi
the West have maintained for years is fiji
for nothing but grazing.
In dry farming, as in all other lines
of business, the ultimate outcome will
involve the selective process by which
only those fitted to survive will become
permanent occupants and tillers Of the
soil. In some of the older dry-farmine
regions, as those east of Denver, Colo
rado, and in the valleys of Washington
and Oregon, the stage Of exploitation il
aleady past and the farming operations
are now upon a permanent basis.-Pa
cific Monthly.

pie OF the open country to work to-
gether, not merely with the view o
forwarding their own economic inter
ests or in competing with those who
are organized, but to develop them
selves and establish an effective com
munity spirit
The consolidated rural school will be
similar to the graded city institution,
the betterment of the curriculum being
by emphasizing industrial and manual
training and domestic science and ad-
ding such other studies as will give the
students a knowledge Of things with
which they come into contact in actual
life and presenting means of working
out the chief studies in practice. 1t is
also purposed to teach the students the
principles Of business. However, the
value of agriculture as the greatest Of
all industries will be constantly kept to
the fore.
This may be termed back to the
farm movement, the necessity of which
is becoming more apparent every day, "
said Mr.. Brown. I'VE need more men
and women on the farms; in fact, it
would be better for the nations pros
perity if IS per cent, instead of 33 per
cent OF the population, as at present,
were tilling the soil, milking COWS and
setting hens. The open country, how
ever, is not the solution of the out-of-
work problem, for, unless instructed in
some branch of agriculture and keenly
interested in the work, the average man
is worse off in the country than in the
thronged city.
This takes the Spokane plan to the
first principle, that the child should be
educated along practical lines, and to
bring this about the country school
must be made new kind of institu-
ton. The rural schools are held by
some to be largely responsible for in
effective farming, the general lack OF
ideals and the rapid drifting from the
country to city. The rural schools are
not declining; they are simply in a
state of arrested development and have
not kept pace with the changed condi-
tions of life.
I'VE believe the movement will
meet with favor not only in the rural
districts but also in the cities, as every
citizen must be interested in the en-
largement of the country's agricultural
resources and maintaining the nations
growth. This means the full develop
ment of the farm as expressive of all
the social and economic forces that
make for the welfare OF the farmer, the
real backbone of the nation, and those
in other lines OF endeavor who are de-
pendent upon his successes"
