DEPREcATiNG TAFT's ACHIEVE.
MENTS

1t is rumored that the democratic
campaign will be largely based upon
the assertion that the much heralded
legislation secured from Congress by
President Taft at the tip of the big
stick, Is full of bugs; that while 1t
is paraded as reform legislation 1t
will not hold water. The railroad bill
will be condemned as unconstitu-
tional. The waterways bill will be
ridiculed as a pork barrel measure,
innocent Of value from a conservation
standpoint. ALL of the bills secured
with travail by the President from a
reluctant Congress will be filled full
of holes by the campaign committee s
blunderbuss. 1t will be freely charged
that the reform legislation enacted
by the republicans was largely, ii not
wholly, for political effect in the com
ing campaign. on course, the repub
licans will refute these arguments
both on the stump and in their liter
ature. but the side which succeeds
in maintaining an aggressive attitude
placing the opposition on the defens
i've will have an advantage which Will
be substantial.

CHAMP cLARk's DREAMS.

Champ Clark, having sent his
family to Europe, has nothing to do
but dream day dreams of Democratic
victories, and to tell the Press how
he his going to land on top Of the
landslide as Speaker Of the House,
vice Uncle Joe. for whose scalp the
insurgent progressives are hunting
After the Speakership-well, Champ
has his dreams about that also. but
he is satisfied to make public one
step in his plans of political advance
ment at time.
The trouble with the Democratic
party, declare some of the progress
i've democrats, is that M is not sin
cere in it's protestations Of friendship
for the plain peepul" and that its
leaders, and especially perhaps the
leaders in the South are drifting
closer and closer towards the trusts.
Senator Bailey, for instance, made an
argument recently In New York a.
gainst a physical valuation of the
railroads. Now 1t may or may not be
proper to require physical valuation
of the railroads; 1t is easy to see
what blow that would be to "fren-
zied finance" and the widows and or.
phans who hold railroad stocks would
be paraded before the sympathetic
public as the ultimate victims while
the plutes prudently retired behind
veil OF crocodile tears and lamented
tor the financial undoing of the limo
cents on whom they had unloaded a
part of their watered stocks. At the
same time, the question of physb2a
valuation is one which will not down
Bailey and all the other friends oi
the interests Notwithstanding. An
other southern leader, who Is about
to retire to private life and who is
far more respected by the public al
large than Bailey Is, has been quoted
as saying that in the next campaign
the democrats would have the suppor
of the corporations. Why? Because
naturally, the Republican party, OF
at least the rank and file of 1t, Ii
drifting rapidly away from convention
al bounds and is strongly tincturet
with the anathamatized radicalisi
which Is worrying the leaders int
an early political demise.

FOR BETTER INSECTICIDES

When you stop to consider that
the value of crops In the United
States amounted last year to eight
billion dollars, and that one fifth OF
them had been destroyed by insects
and fungous growths SO that the crop
values should have reached total
of ten billion dollars, ii will be seen
quite readily that Congress did ali
important piece of work when 1t
sought to save the nation goOdly
portion of that $2,O00,O00 by enacting
a law "for preventing the manufac-
ttMe, sale or transportation Of adul-
terated or misbranded Paris greens,
lead arsenates and other insecti-
cides. and also fungicides, and for
regulating traffic therein and for
other purposes"
The enforc cement Of the ct lis lid on
the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
In pursuance of law, they have ap-
pointed q board consisting Of r. Il.
Cabeli, commissioner of Internal rev.
enue; Charles Earl, solicitor Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor,
and George p. McCabe, solicitor Of
the Department of Agriculture, to
have general supervision over the
enforcement Of the law.

LAND DRAWING
AT GRAND VIEW
Small Crowd at Carey Act Drawing
Out Of 5000 Acres Only
1850 Are Drawn.

The Carey Act Drawing at Grand
View last Monday by the Snake Riv-
er Irrigation company was not at
teEded as larG.v as was expected.
There were 5000 aces under the
Carey Act OF which about 1900 acres
were drawn.
pany, of which d. M. Inman, of
Vermillion, S. OAK, is president,
and G. E. Croker, vice president
and general manager, have embraced
in their project about 1900 acres
OF the finest land that can be found
in the state, situated along the
Snake river and as level as table
with scarcely a rock as large as a
hens egg. The land is especially
adapted to all kinds Of fruit rails
ing, and were anyone to doubt the
assertion he has only to take a trip
to the ranch owned by Chattin &
Helm known as Apple Cove, and
there see for himself an orchard
loaded till the trees are breaking,
with apples, peaches, apricots, plums
and pears, all OF many varieties.
In an interview with Col. E. Mars
ters we learned that the Snake Riv-
e" Irrigation Company will put in
an electric pumping station at Cas-
tie Butte. Material for the dam is
being unloaded at Owyhee and work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
to completion. Contractor Marsters
has a grading outfit of 15O head OF
horses and all bitches will be COM
pleted by the 18th of October and
the dam will be completed next
spring. The company expects to de-
velop about 1000 horse power from
the river of which 5000 will be used
for pumping for irrigation, the sur
plus power will probably be put into
use for electric lines to Mountain
Home and other points.
The Company is under $4,000
bonds and the settlers are assured
that the project will be a success.

FIGHTING CATERPlllARS

Right under the nose of the honor
able Secretary OF Agriculture, the
caterpillars are devasting the beauu-
full shade trees of Washington in
shameless manner. They have eaten
all the leaves off many OF the Old
elm trees, leaving the twigs bare,
and they have attacked the naples
and other shade trees In armies with
a determination which bodies Ill for
shade during the remainder OF the
heated term. The caterpillars In
many cases have gone into cocoons,
which are attached to the bark OF the
trees, and men are nowbusy WIN
gasoline torches trying to destroy
them so as to keep them down next
year.

FORESTS OF THE NORTH.

Capitalists have long had wistul
eyes on the splendid forests Of south
eastern Alaska. A recent bulletin OF
the department of Agriculture says
that in this locality the annual av-
erage rainfall is about ninety inches
and the trees grow to large size.
In the central plateau OF Alaska the
precipitation is less than 15 inches
and the average size o. timber Is
small.
The total forest area of Alaska is
approximately 100 million acres about
81 per cent OF the land area. OF this
about 20 million acres bear timber OF
sufficient size and density to be used
as saw timber.
The Stand of trees averages for
considerable areas 25,0O0 feet pei
acre. The usual timber cut in the
coast forests of Alaska Is about ~,
coo 900 board feet, almost entirely
spruce. The southern and south
eastern coast having much larger
timber supply than will be needed
locally for long time to come. much
of the hemlock should be cut and the
spruce given an opportunity to in
crease. The cutting that has so fal
taken place on the coast OF Alaska
has had but small effect upon the for
est; the bulk is yet untouched.

BRAZILIAN EXPORTS.

Consul General George Il. Ander,
son OF Rio de Janerio recently report
ed that Brazil had exported during
the first three months of 1910 goods
to the value of $70,956,375. The Inn
ports for the same period exceeded
those for any similar previous peri
cd in the history Of the country. a.
mounting to $51,374,569 The great
est single item of export for the first
quarter Of this year wasrubber. which
was valued at $47, ,244,050, thus en-
phasizing signally the prominence
of Brazil as a rubber producing coun-
try. A large increase is noted In
the exports of cotton and sugar.

MILLIONS TO FIGHT BUGS.

The farmers and orchardists of the
country spend every year between
$50, 100000 and $25 100000 for insect.
cides. 1t has been found by the De-
partment of Agriculture that little
reliance can be placed on the quality
OF the stuff sold to consumers for
fighting insects and fungous pests.
Some of the stuff sold as insecticide les
contained as much as SO per cent OF
inert material which would have no
effect on insects. Many insect de
siroyers" are worth but 3 or a cents
and are sold under some fancy name
for 10 to 25 cents. Certain insect
icides' contain as much as 80 pei
cent of road dust. One sample
paris green" was found which con
tanned no Paris green at all. Not
to multiply instances, the Secretary
of Agriculture declared that legisla-
ton such as that enacted was badly
ne ,ded.
The House Committee on Inter
state and foreign commerce in its
port on the bill, estimated that one
third of the insects and plant dis
eases can be successfully combated
by the use of insecticides and fungi
cides. 1t showed that in single
state, California, the annual value OF
the fruit crop is over 6O,0OO,OO0 and
increasing at the rate of $4,000
yearly. Last year this state shipped
over 32,500 carloads of citrus fru!,
alone, representing an investment OF
SIT 600 900. Under exlstfng condi
tons With thr strei gtt and purity
of the chemicals frequently varying
their use as insecticides amt fungi
cides is often worse than useless. J
too strong they will probably des,
or injure the vegetation and If toe
weak they will not affect the insects
or fungi. One instance was citet
during the hearings where an orchart
in Maryland containing $4,000 peacI
trees had been practically wiped Oh
as a result of the owner spraying
with a solution recommended for SaI
jose scale, by a certain firm, Whltd
contained ingredient highly inJur
| ious to the trees.
1t was found that OF 1O5 samples
of pyrethrum powder sold for the ex
termin alton of flies and other insects
! 10 contained lead chromate, which L

Whilertne recent prize fight was
pending and while it was In progress
many daily papers were guilty OF a
lndicrous inconsistency. For on one
page they served up daily a full and
nauseating report from their special
correspondents of all the details OF
the affair, while In their editorial
columns they had numerous articles
condemning the fight in strongest
terms as an outrage to humanity.
