Previous to 1898 progressive bills
could be brought to vote in the
House of Representatives. Since that
time they cannot. Speaker Reed es-
tablished rules that enabled him to
prevent vote ON any bill. The plum
derbund party Of both political brands
liked the new invention. While
Speaker Cannon has nominally beer
dethroned, the element that has sus-
tanned him and his predecessors for
seventeen years il still in power. The
people are demanding that Congress go
on record. The misrepresentation
don't want to be put on record. 1t is
better for them that bills be killed in
committees. 1t is not advisable to
even allow them to be debated. The
people are getting restless, and the in
surgents want to debate the vital
issue.

THE c0cUANUT TREE.
II Has an Irresistible Craving For Salt
Water.

II Has an Irresistible Craving For Salt
Water.
"In the tropics. where the cocoanut
is wanted for planting, the nuts are
picked up when they fall from the
tree where they have hung for about
fourteen months in ripening 1t is n
fact not generally known" says thr
Bakers Weekly. that a majority of
the nuts drop at night. which prob
ably accounts for the small loss of life
by cocoanuts falling upon the heads
of the natives.
'The action of the heavy dew at
night loosens the seal with which ma
ture mas provided the nut and allows
1t to fall. The nuts wanted for plant
ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds. where they are
allowed to sprout before planting, in
order that good. healthy N'sprout nuts
may be selected, thus avoiding the
possibility of planting blind nuts
that would not sprout, In which case
much time would be lost in starting
the 'cocoanut walks. as the orchards
are called. When holes are dug about
three feet deep and twenty feet apart
the nut is carefully placed in the hole
and covered with about one foot of
soil. The hole is filled as the sprout
grows until 1t reaches the surface,
when 1t is left to itself, requiring no
further attention Should the place
where the cocoanut Is planted be any
great distance from the seashore
quantity of salt is placed in the hole.
1t will grow in luxuriance, however,
but short distance from the shore,
nearness to salt water being absolute
ly essential to its welfare.
San interesting story is told by
gentleman who resided for some years
In the tropics. He planted a cocoanut
tree behind a board fence some dis
tance from the sea. The tree grew
perfectly straight until it reached the
top of the fence, when it began to
grow toward the ocean, leaning foot
or more. Then a shed was built quite
near the fence, but several feet higher,
and the tree again grew straight until
the roof of the shed was reached,
when it again leaned toward the sea,
forming very curious and odd look
ing tree.
'The irregular growth was wholly
attributed to the influence Of the salt
air. No magnet is truer to the pole
than the root of the cocoanut tree to
the ocean, for when the root breaks
through its husk 1t points directly to-
ward the sea, no matter what the po-
sition of the nut when placed In the
ground"

eATHENA. ORE. APR. 1910

The bill now in Congress provi ding
for the issue of thirty million dollars
in certificates to raise funds for COM
pleting the projects of the reclama-
tion service which are now held up for
want Of money, is being watched with
close attention by the peopleeof Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho. because
much of the money, If Congress con-
sents to raise it, will te spent in these
three states The bill has already
passed the Senate and is in the hands
of the lower house, which will pro-
tably act upon it within the month.
During the past two or three years the
Reclamation service has planned and
begun some Of the largest irrigation
projects yet undertaken in the west,
and in almost every case has been pre-
vented from completing them by lack
of funds. For example, the irrigated
area Of Kliokitat and Yakima counties
in Eastern Washington will be doub-
led if the projects already under way
are completed Similar conditi ons
exist in all the Northern states. The
delegation in Congress from these
states are all devoting much energy
toward getting the 30,000.000 bill
through Congress. The wealth of the
three states will te increased by much
more than the amount expended if the
Eill passes, while other parts of the
West will receive Fimilar help.

HIS LADY LOVE.

The roses in bis lady's cheeks,
They were not real-Ah, me-
An artist put them there, as you
Gould very plainly see.
The tresses of his lady's hair.
Though curly, golden brown,
Were dyed that way, those ringlets
fair,
To match her fashy gown.
The shoes that graoed his lady's feet,
Were stretched so very tight.
That il they should be taken off
Her feet would come off quite.
The smile upon his lady's face
Was stoniness itself:
But, Oh to this most loving youth
She was winsome elf.
And, to those who knew quite we'll,
She was all false--'tis true,
This youth, SO blind to her defects,
Loved her summer through.
And when / tell you this, | know
The cause you'll plainly see
His lady was large ag-doll,
And he was only three.

When Tennessee Was Known as the
State of Franklin.

When Tennessee Was Known as the
State of Franklin.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennessee
was Franklin or that in 1888 the sal
aries of the officers of the common
wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol-
lowing is a correct copy of the law:
'Be it enacted by the state of Frank
lin, and it is hereby enacted by author
ity of the same, that from and after the
list day of January, 1888, the salaries
of this commonwealth be as follows
to wit:
"His excellency the governor per
annum, 100 deerskins.
"His honor the chief justice, 500
deerskins.
"The secretary to his eXcellency the
governor 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk, 800 beaver skins.
"Clerk of the house of commons, 200
raccoon skins.
Justices fee for serving a warrant
one minkskin."
At that time the state Of Franklin
extended to the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then a terra in
cognita, save few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. 1t was known as the district
of Louisiana and in 1906 was made the
territory Of Louisiana.
The state of Franklin, which became
Tennessee in 1796, was almost as lit
tie known, The now great city of
Memphis was mere trading post and
was not laid out as village until
1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distribut-
ed for purposes of currency and bar

The Doctrine Of Election.

When the late Senator Vance was
running for congress he called on an
old colored man who had in early life
served the Vance family. Asked aft
er his health, the former servant re-
piled, "Mighty poly in this worl', but
it's all right over yander."
"Do you believe III the doctrine OF
election?" asked Vance with great
solemnity,
"It's the doctrine of the Bible" an
Swered the old man.
"Uncle Ephraim, do you think I've

here's to land values wherever men

civilization. Hence Prineville citizens
