Potatoes Preserved on Coke.

A new method of keeping potatoes and
preventing sprouting is reported by
Richard Guenther, U. S. consul at
Frankfort, Germany. 1t consists of
placing them on layer of coke, and DIR.
Schiller, of Brunswick, who is respon-
sible for the idea, is of the opinion that
the improved ventilation thus gained is
not alons responsible for the result.
He believes that it is due to the oxi-
dation of the coke, which, however, is
very slow one. Coke contains sui
phur, and he considers it quite possible
that the minute quantities of oxides of
carbon and sulphur which result from
the oxidation, mixing with the air and
penetrating among the potatoes, are suf-
icient to greatly retard sprouting.
Potatoes so treated are said to keep
in good condition for a year.-Popular
Mechanics.

MAKE TWO FLEETS OF ONE.
Asiatic and Pacific Vessels Under Sep
arate Commands.

On account of the growing import
ance of American interests in the far
east and the difficulty of assembling the
whole fleet as now constituted, the navy
department has decided to divide the
Pacific fleet into two separate fleets
to be known as the Asiatic fleet and
Pacific fleet.
In January, 1907, the old Asiatic fleet
was merged into the Pacific fleet and
made the third squadron thereof. To
day action restores the old order.
The commander-in-chie of the new
Asiatic fleet will be Rear Admiral John
Hubbard, who will relieve Rear Admir-
al Harbor in a few days at Yokohama.
Rear Admiral Harbor will relieve Rear
Admiral Sebree as commander-in-chief
of the Pacific feet in February.

GOOD ROADS PARAMOUNT.
No Other One Issue So Important To
Farmers And Town Dwellers In
Northwest States.

The great Inland Empire, the pride of
every resident of its vast domain, grow
ing daily in material wealth and com
mercial Importance, is sadly deficient in
the one thing necessary to give it a sub
stantial permanently. Good roads, per-
manent, passable highways, giving I'M
interrupted communication between the
farm, the village and the cities, have
always been the mark of progressive,
prosperous and enlightened community.
1t is not necessary that these roads be
built of macadam. Gravel and earth
roads are sufficient in many localities
where the nature of the soil and the
natural drainage permit their use, but it
is decidedly necessary that they be built
scientifically.
The time has arrived when the farm
ers, fruit growers and all other agricul-
turists as well as the city and small
town residents, must talk this matter
over in plain words. A practical work
ing plan whereby the roads will actually
be built, is the only salvation for the
development of the hmitless natural re-
sources of this northwestern country.
The states of Washington, Montana,
Idaho, and Oregon and the southern por-
ton of British Columbia could furnish
road building material for the entire
United States. There is within easy
reach of any square mile of this terri
tory, material for the building of sub
stantial roads which will be dividend
paying investment for years and years
to come.
The solution of the good roads prob
lem will not be reached until the man
who owns the land along which the road
runs gets his neighbors interested-for
their own beneft-until this small group
federates with a township organization
and it in turn with the county, state
and nation.
Then will come the knowledge of the
value of scientific advice, the services
of the specialist who understands the
economic values of the material at hand,
the establishment of grades, drainage,
the preservation of the scenic surround
ings, the utilization of every natural and
artificial advantage, in the construction
of a permanent highway in which the
individual land owner will feel a pro-
prietary interest.

MAKE CHICKENS PAY.
j. R. Crosswaite Tells How He Made A
Success.

Working for eggs means very little
loss and great possibilities of profits;
sentiment as to color and appearance of
fowl does not count much for practical
purposes. If we are after eggs it pays
to go after eggs in a business-like man
ner.'
John R. Crosswaite, of Deer Park,
Wash, one of the most successful poul-
trymen in the Inland Empire and the
Pacific Northwest, thus sizes up the
poultry situation. He believes in pro-
ducing eggs rather than broilers and
heavier poultry, saying that the begin
er should avoid the former, and that for
the experienced man or woman there is
less profit in the latter than in eggs.
He breeds fowls that produce eggs, and
in view of the fact that the price ranged
from 25 to 60 cents a dozen in Spokane
in 1909, during which time the supply
was never equal to the demand, he APP
pears to have solved the problem.

zelaya Stays in Mexico.

Former President Zelaya of Nicaragua
has sent several messages to Managua
urging his friends there to secure the
release of his son-in-law, Joaquin Passos.
He says that the rest was a measure Of
retaliation and that President Madriz
cannot prove the charges made. Passos
was found guilty of transportation of
funds.
Notwithstanding statements to the
contrary, there is good reason to believe
that Zelaya is arranging to stay for
weeks more in Mexico.

Canada Claims the Most.

In proportion to population Canada is
building more miles of railroad than is
the United States. Canada Is entire
railroad mileage is now 233,OO0, which
is one mile for every 800 inhabitants, as
compared with one mile to every 3s1 in
habitants in the United States.
In 1867 in all Canada there were just
2,27s miles of railroad tracks. There
have been constructed in 1909 and are
under construction or contract nearly
twice as many miles of track as there
were in Canada in 1868, OF 1927 miles.

MORSE GOES TO JAIL.
NOTED BANKER STARTS HIS
l5-YEAR Term.
Most Brutal Sentence = Makes
Statement Scoring Jury and Laws
Governing His Case-New Trial De-
MED Him Again.

New York, Jan. with supreme
effort to be cheerful, but with emo
tion occasionally getting the better of
him, Charles w. Morse left New York
today to begin Is years sentence in
the federal prison at Atlanta, Ca, for
violation of the national banking laws
Before leaving the Tombs, where he
had been confined for the greater part
of the last year, Morse received his wife
and two sons and then the newspaper
men. He was too affected to say any
thing but he handed out a carefully pre-
pared statement.
Bitter Statement by Morse.
Morse's statement is bitter and dra-
matte.
% am going to Atlanta to begin penal
servitude under the most brutal SEN
tence ever pronounced against a citizen
in civilized country" is his opening
sentence.
81 have hoped" the statement con
tinues, with that hope which comes
from consciousness of my innocence,
that l will not have to close out for
ever the light and liberty of this world,
under such an inhuman sentence.
have felt that the fact that l had paid
fine and served year in prison would
satisfy the cry for victim and i have
steadily believed that the courts would
be compelled to give me new trial.
"When L learned that the private
detectives of the prosecution were the
keepers of the jury, that the jury drank
like men upon jaunt or holiday,
rather than citizens on serious serv-
were rendered unfit, L naturally hoped
that 1 would be allowed another trial
by another jury free of these hostile
influences 1t seems, however, that the
courts intend to establish the practice,
which make rum drinking a part of a
jury service and private detectives as
the eustodians of a jury permanent in
stitution.
Government Gone Mad
By this sentence and judgment
may be brought to ruin; but the damage
done to me is not half as important as
the injury to the administration of JUS
tice. / am now up in years and must,
with the passing of time, pass, also;
but the record of my conviction and the
way it was brought about will remain
lasting and dangerous example of a
government gone mad in search of a
victim.
"Whether l shall serve my full SEN
tence, l am not able to say; much de-
pending upon how much the govern
ment at Washington shall look upon it.
l have great faith that all right think
ing men and women who know of me
and my case and who realize the inhu-
manity of my sentence will make known
their feelings to the president. What
ever the future may have in store
liberty or imprisonment-I shall en-
deavor to meet it in the same way

of the past two years.
