SEEKS TO IMPROVE
THE RATES FOR
MONTANA

Washington, ID. c.. April IL
(Special)-In an effort to give
Montana merchants a fairer rail
road rate, Senator Dixon today in
troduced an amendment to the rail-
road bill, applying the long and
short haul freight rates from Chi
cago and st. Paul. He declared
that merchants in Montana were
charged more for the short haul
to Montana than was charged for
the same shipments to Seattle and
San Francisco. He also declared
that this condition gave a monopoly
to the distributing points which
could only be broken by means of
the long and short haul clause.

TO DECIDE WEATHER
FOR NEXT SIX WEEKS.

Washington, Feb. Tomorrow is
the day and date on which the ground
hog will decide the meteorological
conditions for six weeks to come, il
the I'D superstitions surrounding
Ca3dlemas Day are to be accepted at
their face value. Uncle Sans wealth
er sharps, however cast many and
sever reflections on their prophetic
rival, asserting that for the last three
years the ground hog has been all OF
in his representations.
There are many old rhymes and
traditions upon which weather pro-
phesies nave been based, but none are
more widely circulated than those re-
garding the second of February, which
in "Ye olden time was known as
Candlemas Day and was celebrated
with a special church service, to
which each worshipper contributed a
candle.
"Candlemas Day, Candlemas Day,
Half our wood and nalf our hay"
is a well known couplet which indi-
Gated to the ancient British yeonan
that the winter was half past.
IF Candle-nas Day be fair and bright
Winter will take another flight,
But if Candlemas Day bring cloud
and rain.
Winter is gone and won't come
again."
is another version of the same old
theory.
The introduction of the grounding
into the traditions surrounding the
second of February is an American
innovation and is said to have origi-
mated with the negro superstitions
Of "ole Virginny."
According to their stories, the
ground hog wakes up from a long
sleep and comes out on the second
day of February to see if the winter
is over. IL the day is clear and bright
so that the sun throws a shadow on
the snow the grounding takes fright
and returns to his hole for six weeks
more. If it is a cloudy day. however,
he remains out over night and as a
consequence warm weather COM
mences Immediately and h farmers
prepare for an early spring.
'Brer Grounding come out fer to see
the day.
Mr.. Sun shows his shadow AID skeers
i'm away,
Brer Grounding. he trots long back
to his hole
An fer six whole weeks more it am
goin' ter be cold"
is the versihed rendition of this old
negro tradition.

cies to cross and produce nybrids

The strains of ~yariegated alfalfa
which have assumed greatest impor-

Springfield, III, Feb. &c. J.. Doyle.
mayor OF Greenfield and attorney for
the state insurance department, today
assumed the Office of state fire nar-
shall. This office was created by an
act Of the 81 General Assembly,
with the following objects:
"The object of the law is the re-
duction of the fire insurance waste
which will result in the lowering of
rates charged by fire insurance COM
panies. This result viii be brought
about, first by prosecutions and con-
victions of fires, and. second. by the
prevention of fires through careless
ness in building methods and in the
accumulation of inflamable material,
which too frequently cause great los
SEES by fire.
This law is approved by IRE in
surance corporations, both stock and
mutual. and the Office OF fire mar
shal is to be supported by a tax OF
one-fourtn of l per cent, of the gross
premiums received by fire insurance
companies.
The fire waste in the United Stat
es IS very heavy when compared with
the same waste in some other coun
tries, and it is confidently expected
both by the governor and the fire in
a companies, that the operat
ion of the law will, in a snort time
materially reduce the rate paid fol-
fire insurance in Illinois"

NarIaqated AIfaIfas.

Within ecent years alfalfa has
forged to the front IS a forage plant
in the United States with extraordi-
nary rapidity. In fact it may now be
considered one of our most important
crop plants. 1t is grown to some ex-
tent in all sections, but il is only in
the western half of the country that
ii takes rank as a leading forage crop
In most parts of the West the ordi-
nary alfalfa appears to be well adap-
ted to prevailing conditions. but for
localities where drought resistance Is
important. and along our northern
border where ability to stand ex-
trenes of cold is essential, IL has
been found very desirable to secure
improved strains.
The species of alfalfa ordinarily
grown bear violet colored lowers,
and it's seed pods are coiled into close
spirals. Persia vas probably the orr.
ginal home of this species. There Is,
however, another species of alfalfa
growing wild in Siberia and through
out the greater part of Europe which
bears yellow flowers and whose seed
pods are sickle-shaped. The pros
trate stems and poor seed-bearing
qualities Of this species are obstacles
to it's use rs a forage plant II is,
however, very drought resistant and
Is able to stand very low temperature
without winter killing.

Two Years a King.

Lisbon. Feb. liking Manuel today
completed the second year of mis-
reign, which dates from the bloody
tragedy of February 1, 1908, when his
father King Carlos. and his brother,
Crown Prince Luiz( were assassinat-
ed. The anniversary was marked by
a queer mixture of mourning and re-
joicing. In the churches of Lisbon,
requiem, masses were offered for the
souls of the dead monarch and the
prince. There is no doubt that the
youthful Manuel IS much more popu-
lar than his father ever was. Surroun-
ded by his court djgnitaries. he at
tended a memorial service in the Ca
thedral of st Vincent, where the re-
mains of King Carlos and son lie bur-
led.
King Manuel is now protected more
thoroughly than ever before, owing to
the recent discovery of a plot to as
sassinate him and many of his ad-
visors. The palace is now guarded by
a small army, and it is said that Man.
ael changes his sleeping quarters
every night.
The plot has been shown by papers
seized to be more far reaching than
any of its kind uncovered in Europe
in years. The ultimate object of the
conspirators was the institution of a
republican form of government and
the driving from Portugal or the ex-
e%cution of all the monarchial leaders.
The nen who engineered the assas-
sination of King Carlos and the crown
prince were the guiding hands of the
newer plot.
