self caused them to decide in
it's favor, and a deal was
made whereby the R. S. King
Company, an investment
house closely associated with
the American Slate Products
Company, bought outright
the city of Othello, from the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railroad.
A part of the deal, which
caused a great deal of dis
cussion in financial circles, a
few weeks ago, was the
agreement of the Slate Prod
ucts Company to locate its
plant at Othello, and the R.
S. King Company gave the
railroad company its bond,
with heavy sureties, guaran-
teeing that the plant would
be built.

RAILROADS PLAN BIG
THINGS

Recently an announcement
was made by President Far
ling, of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound Railroad,
that a line would be built
north and south from Othello
at once. In an interview in
the Seattle Post Intelligent
Ger, President Earring said:
"Upon the completion Of
surveys now under way, we
will build a line both north
and south from Othello, to
reach the wheat fields that
are already yielding and dis
tricts that will be developed
with transportation facili-
ties, etc.
With the completion Of
this north and south line Of
railroad Othello will be at
the crossroads Of the great
railroad highways of the In
land Empire. Its position a.
a Wholesale point and as .
commercial, manufacturing
and shipping center, viii,
without question, make it
one Of the great cities of the
State of Washington.

MILKMEN in

Lack Of Rain Has Caused a

DEALERS UNABLE

ton to-day.

only hope.
While it has not reached a famine

are not receiving their full daily quota

cannot get enough from the wholesale

CHANGE THE MARRIAGE LAWS.

mo doubt vigorous effort will be made TO
have the next Legislature change the mar
riage laws Of Delaware. We think majority
of the ministers of Wilmington have concluded
that il is time to end the troubles surrounding the
runaway weddings Almost every day there are
reports of distressed parents, of young folks in
teens being married. of preachers explaining, and
of general unpleasantness
If these articles do not arouse the ministers
who do not particularly profit by the present mar
rying industry, we do not know what can stir them
to action. OF course il is not upon the ministers
alone that the responsibility for the disgrace rests
The law makers and other forces which are sup
posed TO be CONCERNED in the social upft
responsible. The name OF Delaware so far as
il relates to weddings of runaway couples is
by-word in other states. Even New Jersey has
closed the door against the runaways and COR
rupt and contented" Pennsylvania sends those who
cannot wed under her laws to Delaware.
The law here is about as bad as il could be. 1t
encourages clandestine weddings. Those who per-
form such ceremonies can and often do conceal
the names of persons whom they we'd
The loose marriage laws have been in vogue in
this State for years The only possible excuse for
them that we have ever heard of is that they

a poor argument compared with the great amount
of harm done Great credit is due the Roman
Catholic priests of this city who have steadfasty
refused to soil their hands in this matter. The
same may be said of some Protestant ministers
And the remainder of the clergy should be re-
strained by law from engaging this traffic in
hearts Another Legislature should not be per-
mitted to adjourn without having reformed our
marriage laws.

Editorial Opinion
Imnrored Farm Maehlnerr.

Nebraska State Journal.
Reports from Kansas tell of the
successful operation OF simple ma
chine that cuts and threshes small
grain at a single operation. A machine
no heavier and not much more COM
plicated than a binder cuts and
threshes wheat or oats at the same
rate as the binder now cuts the grain.
The reports may be exaggerated, but
things have been done in the past
with farm machinery that at the time
seemed more remarkable than this
seems now. The thin has been done,
but only by machines so heavy and
complicated that they can be used
probably only on bonanza farms.
This reminds us that the farmers
may yet be emancipated from the
special strain of harvest time. The
greatest difficulty of the farmer lies
in the way his work increases at GER
tain periods AS water can flow
through a pipe only as fast as its
narrowest part permits, so a farmer
must adjust his operation for the year
with more or less reference to the
special demanrs of harvest time. The
annual cry for harvest hands is the
result of the farmers risking a crop
as large as he can handle at planting
time, trusting to special providence to
/ furnish help for the harvest A har-
vesting machine that will turn out
/ threshed grain instead of sheaves that
must be shocked, stacked and later
thrsshed would solve the difficulty.

lures are dried up, corn is scarce, and
the new crop has not been harvested.
Need 100000 Gallons a Day.
Chicago requires 100000 gallons of
milk a day, and 1t takes 10000 COWS
to produce the supply when they are
working full time. Some of the dairy
men estimated that owing to the long
drought the supply already had been
cut down one-quarter.
Hundreds of families have been un-
able for ten days to get the quantity
of milk from their regular dealers
which they have been accustomed to
receive. and some have gone miles
away from home.
Some of the large dealers say that
so far they have been able to get
enough to supply the requirements of
their regular customers. but have none
to give to small dealers who are not
so fortunate. The smaller dealers
have been forced to abandon some OF
their customers.
Dealers Are Warming Customers.
The milkmen are warning their GUS
toners that conditions will be worse
At the best the outlook is for two

The stories from the small dealers
are even more discouraging. Andrew
Thums said that for a week he had
been unable to supply the wants of all
his customers.
Hotel keepers and restaurateurs have
discovered that their customers resent
an advance in the price of their favor
tie dishes and will go even to cheaper
restaurants rather than pay more than
they have been accustomed. In most
cases trimming" the orders is the
the result.

Mosquito and Fly.

Baltimore american.
Those Baltimoreans who seek a
little open air refreshments thss
evenings on back porches or out on
the front steps are certain to be made
aware that the mosquitoes have not
been quite eXterminated, and when
the mosquitoes appear in considerable
numbers before the end Of July IT
signifies that a yaster horde will be
in evidence in August and September.
That enthusiastic crusade against
mosquitoes inaugurated about two
years ago seems to have given up the
fight at the end of the first season.
AS it is, we have a most stringent and
deadly earnest mosquito destroying
ordnance, but no actual warfare on
the pests.
Our good intentions about wiping
out the househy seem to be getting
into innOcuous desuetude in the same
way that our mosquito good resolu-
tions have been side-tracked. A great
many hOusehOlders succeed i'm screen
ing out the fly with appropriate com
pleteness. but nearly every stable
and every closet sink that is not
carefully looked after, is a fly breed
cry and as a consequence there are
swarms of fles surrounding every
house and awaiting an opportunity to
rush in when a window or door is left
ajar
That the fly can be practically eX-
terminated is proven by the fact that
in sections Of the city where extreme
care is manifested few flies are found.
Neither the fly nor the mosquito seems
to be an extensive traveller. Each
hunts victims in the vicinity of birth.
Flies can be trapped in innumerable
multitudes by the use of some of the
patented devices, and the trapping will
at least keep the ranks Of the pr"1a-
tory hOrdes thinned out.

when the great issue prohibition. Brewster

Mr. BRYAN and "a for MIR. Taft in 1908.
The voting place at the primary the other day

communication. Long before daylight on the day
of the recent primary the voters began to gather
around the polling place. About all the voters in

with bowie knives and pistols and the "drys' we're
similarly equipped Then each side dehed the

No doubt the experience Of Brewster County

the plan. Certainly New Workers would not want

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

for the supervision of all classes of public SER
vice CORPORATIONS The State Business Mems AS
sociation is behind the movement they want can
didates for the Legislature named who will sup

The chairman Of the Democratic State Com
mittee was asked TO use his influence to nave
nlank inserted in the party platform favorable TO
such commission But the state chairman took
up the matter in partisan fashion and would not
commit himself until he learned whether the busi-
ness men weuld support the candidates OF the
Democratic party IL nominated on such platform.
The State chairman was very practical, but he
should know that if legislation of this kind is to be
obtained, it will have to be enacted regardless Of
party lines
During the last Connecticut campaign the Re
oublicans said nothing about the public service
commission issue in their resolutions, but nomi-
mated a candidate strongly in favor of such COM
mission The Democrats on the other hand had
little to say about a commission but named as
their. candidate for governor man who was op-
posed to the idea. Half the Democrats in the
higher house voted against the commission bill
and more than one-third of them in the lower
house we're opposed TO the measure. An effort

men into obscurity.
