GRANGE PROTESTS AGAINST
RAISE IN POSTAL RATES.

White Salmon, Feb. 19.-Mountain
View Grange No. SO, of this place, at
its last regular meeting, adopted the
following resolutions:
BE it resolved, That we are opposed
to any Increase on the rate of second
class mail matter, as we believe it will
be direct burden upon the people:
We protest against the proposed, or any
other, tax on periodicals.; we favor the
continuance of rural free delivery and
extensions of it; we favor the estab-
lishment of local parcels posts and pos
tai savings banks; We favor putting
all postmasters on the civil service ba-
sis; the improving of the postal SER
vice and bringing it up to date, and the
installing and owning of the latest i'm
proved steel mail cars, and cutting
down the excessive payments to rail-
roads for carrying mail cars.
Eve further disapprove loaning the
deposits of postal banks, as is now pro-
posed; We favor loaning to individuals
on gilt-edge or approved securities"
A copy of these resolutions was sent
to Senator W. L. Jones, to be trans
mitted to the proper committee.

COURT INJUNCTION
BILL BEFORE CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. 19.-What is gen.
orally recognized as the administration
bill on the regulation of court injunc-
ton has been introduced by Represen-
tative Moon (Rep.), of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the committee on revision
of laws. The phraseology of this par
ticular bill is expected to be given care
full scrutiny.
The Moon bill is brief, covering a
single typewriter sheet. In effect, 1t
provides that no injunction, whether
interlocutory or permanent, shall be
issued by any federal court without
previous notice and an opportunity to
be heard on behalf of the parties en-
joined.
But, it says further, if there appears
a probability that immediate and ir-
reparable injury" is likely to ensue,
the court may issue temporary re-
straining order without notice. 1t is
required that every such order shall
define the injury, state why irreparable
and why granted without notice, and
shall not extend more than seven days
from the time the notice is served.

Appreciatfon for a Poet.

On the day it was announced that
the body of poor John Davidson had
been found, l read brief paragraph
showing how such a calamity might
easily have been avoided. The in
habitants Of Tourcoing, in the north
of France, are very proud of their
local dialectic poet, M. Jules Wat
teun. Instead of waiting to erect a
statue to him after death they have
made sure that he shall be put be-
yond the reach of financial worry.
that bane of so many poets great and
small, during his lifetime. There
was a demonstration in honor Of M.
Watteun last year and public sub
scription was opened. The sum col
lected has now been utilized to build
the poet a house, which shall be his
during his lifetime and then revert
to the commune, and in addition to
secure him an annuity; while II his
death precedes that Of his wife an
annuity of half the value will be paid
to her so long as she lives.

the amendments to the interstate COM
merce law, the postal savings bank bill,
the antiinjunction proposal and the
statehood bill would go through.
The situation now seems to portend
that the Alaska legislative council
bill, the federal Incorporation bill and
several other measures desired by the
President will either fall by the way
side or be laid upon the shelf for an
other session.
Platform Pledge Kept.
Some Senators fear they will be TAX
ing in four Democratic Senators and
some Democratic Representatives in
passing the statehood bill. The Pres j.
dent, however, wishes to stand by the
Republican national platform of two
years ago.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
taken a stand with the President in
this matter. Of the four administra-
ton measures mentioned, the state
hood bill alone seems to show signs
OF weakness. AS to the postal savings
bank bill, the President has had some
dlfflculty in smoothing out the wrin-
kles.
Smoot and Root Pacfied.
He has had to meet the opposition
OF Senator Smoot and also has been
compelled to ask Senator Root not to
press his amendment to the invest
ment OF funds in government bonds.
The anti-injunction bill introduced
by Representative Moon of Pennsyl-
vanla is satisfactory to the President,
as it does not differ materially from
the administration bill. There never
has been any doubt of the success of
the Interstate Commerce amendments
at the White House.

SENATE CONSIDERING BOND

a discussion of the bill authorizing the
issuance of $50, 00O, 900 worth of certifi-

The measure was championed by a
number of senators, especially by
Messrs. Carter and Borah. Mr.. Car
ter said that in number of cases res

bitches had not been constructed, while
the effect was to withhold the water
from settlers. It was stated that the
money would all be repaid by settlers.
and that, in reality, the treasury would
not in any way be affected.

using one bank security for securing
control of another. Not content with
these triumphs, which netted him
many millions, he organized the Con-
solidated Steamship Company, with q
capitalization of 100000. Had not
the panic of 1907 occurred, Morse
would have been able to swing his
great enterprises, but he fell one of
the victims of that disastrous financial
crash and in a night the title of Ice
King, Banking King and Steamship
King passed away from him forever.
In an endeavor to save himself he mis-
appropriated funds of the National
Bank of North America, and it Is for
this offense he is now prisoner In
the Atlanta penitentiary.

Good Profits in Good Potatoes
J. Craig Assistant Agrirst Washington State College,

tricts, and the peculiar climatic AMI
soil conditions of Washington are Ell
pecially favorable for the producti4
of potatoes. In regions of the state
where the atmosphere is dry dur4g
the summer months the growth of I'm
gus diseases on the foliage is disc4dr-
aged.
Erroneous ideas that potatoes IS a
crop do not need much attentiol is
largely responsible for the great yAria-
ton in yields per acre in this State.
Many farmers give time and cane to
the potato crop only when there is
nothing else to do, so the potato is
neglected. The potato crop is respon-
sive to good treatment, and the grower
who exercises proper care with his pc.
tatoes is always repaid in the yield
and quality of his crop.
A deep, friable, mellow loan, rich in
humus, is the ideal soil for potatbes.
Heavier soils may give good results II

clover or alfalfa sod. If the soil has
any tendency to pack, the tubers are
restricted in their growth and are
often misshapen. Supplying humus ia

discusses the effects of ivy growing on
walls of various kinds, and arrives at
the following conclusions: It is not
advisable to allow the plant to grow
on walls formed of newly cut stone,
since it soon destroys the smooth sur
face, although the damage does not
extend to any noticeable depth; it is
bad for ancient walls of cut stone, the
joints of which have been opened by
the various effects of time and the
weather; it is not injurious on brick
walls, If the Inhabitants are not sub
ject to rheumatism; and it is useful
on ancient walls of rubble, since its
interlaced branches tend to prevent
the fall of loose stones
According to some of the farmers of

the fields. In one district they say no
less than 346 lions have recently been
killed by hunters, and they estimate
that this represents the saving of
$4,000 to 10000 zebras and antelopes,
which would otherwise have fallen a
prey to the lions that have been de-
stroyed. Of course the hunters shoot
zebras and antelopes also, but this fact,
they think, does not counterbalance
the destruction of those animals that
would have been effected by the slain
lions.
The experience of the corps of tel
egraphers employed to operate the
wireless apparatus used by the French
in the recent campaign in Morocco
suggests that the Hertzian waves de-
velop various affections of the eyes. A
slight conjUnct;vitis, resembling that
occurring among those who work with
arc lamps, was commonly observed,
together with a few cases of a more
serious nature. Two cases of eczema
were apparently due to the same cause,
and one man suffered from palpitation
of the heart after working for any
great length of time at the sending
instruments. Doctor Belle is inclined
to think that many cases of neuras-
thenia and nervousness, now becoming
common in the navy, may be due to
the influence of the waves used in
wireless telegraphy.
