NOR many years past the American
n farmer has realized the impor-
n tanee of crop rotation as an agen-
cy for the maintenance of soil fertl-
ity; but while comparatively few have
changed their crops, in d way prac-
ticing rotation, practically nothing has
been done in a systematic way, and but
little data are available In the United
States touching upon this all-impor-
tant subject.
In Germany the farmer can go back
for generations, giving the yield Of
each piece of land, and give accurate
data as to the crops grown and value
received, thus putting a commercial
value upon rotation in dollars and
cents.
1t has been proved by them that
grain grown on land on which sugar
beets have been grown for one or more
years yields 30 to 40 per cent more than
from land upon which beets have not
been grown.
In some parts of the United States
this has ben proved. but, as before
stated, but little information Is to be
had beyond the fact that rotation is
not only benefit but an actual neces-
sity.

The pessimist may here be dis
posed to believe that the thirst for
wealth will impel the ablest to labor
for his own gain regardless of his
fellows-with milllardom always in
view. Let us consider this point
of view. Is this really the rule
today throughout the realm of
business? / do not think so; at
least the exceptions are already
most notable. Take our vast rail-
way systems as the greatest in
dustrial organizations. Is McCrea,
president of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. who is a relatively poor man?
Is Brown of the New York Central,
also poor the former telegraph
messenger boy? Is Mellen of the
Eastern lines, or Ripley of the
Santa Fe. or Judge Lovett, chair
man of the Southern and Pacific
boards, who hiss risen from the

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Enstachian Tube. When the
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

A man to be q good Governor
must not only have executive ability
but firm determination to do that which
is right, an honest desire to give every
man a square deal, but must also have
the physical strength ana endurance
to do the amount of work a Governor
is called upon to perform If lie desires
to give the citizens of the state a
businesslike administration.
An instance OF Oddie's tremendous
physical strength and energy is shown
by his work on his quicksilver NINE
in the Spanish Belt mountains before
the discovery OF Ionopan. Oddle was
driving a tunnel to catch the ore
shoot and when water was encountered
in the tunnel it began to cave badly.
Being one OF the most inaccessible
places in the country, 1T was lmpossi-
bic to pack timDers on the backs Oh the
two mules that Oddie owned, so he
went down the steep and rocky canyon
and fened what trees ne needed and
carried them on his shoulders up to
the mouth OF the tunnel some OF
these tlmDers weighed nearly three
hundred pounds and ne was compelled
to lift one end OF each timber, get his
shoulder under it and gradually bal
ance it until he could get a start. lie
would then carry 1t or a snort dis-
lance, drop 1T and rest until he had re-
covered his strength, then start up

A man VINO will ~persevere IN the
face OF such diiuculties Is not a man
who can be swerved from his deter
minatiou to do that which Is rlgnt and
can be depended upon to give the peo-
pie of tins state OF nevada a square
deal, no matter how strong any EFFORTS
may be made to swerve him from do
ing his duty.

A NEW REPUBLlC

The spirit of Democracy that is
sweeping the world has resulted IN an
other republic. During the week
events have moved fast IN Portugal,
the Revolutionists are now IN control
and King Manuel, with his mother,
the Dowager Queen, has sought safety
under the British flag at Gibraltar.
The successful Insurgents have formed
q new government, with a strong eaDl-
net, and, having practically the whole
army and navy on their side, VIII
probably continue to govern the coun-
try indefinitely.

Too much praise cannot be given to
the duett by Mrs A. N. Poole and Mrs.
E. Moreland; in fact, every number on
the program was first-class and show
ed there had been some good training
at home. Good people may die, but
their names live on.

PLAYS QUEER FRANKS
Crossed Electric Wires Damage Many
Telephones in Monmouth.

The storm last Sunday night blew
down the electric wire at the corner,
near Lindsay & Company's store so
that it lay on the wires of the Pacific
Telephone Company, where it pro-
ceeded to do damage and display itself
generally.
The telephone boy was probably
the first to receive attention, and the
way the light flashed from the ex-
change board was sufficient to give
him a good fright. The live wire car
ried a voltage of $500.
There were fifteen lines burned out
in the main cable, besides different
phones that were put out of commiss-
ion over town. The main lines have all
been repaired, but the repairs to
phones in private houses have not all
been completed. Many homes were
filled with light emitted from the tel
ephones before the connections burned
out.-Monmouth Herald.

WANTS OWN ROAD TAX
Monmouth Calls Election to So
Amend Charter.

At the approaching election in
Monmouth, the voters will be called
upon to say whether they favor Civ
ing their town the exclusive right to
regulate all roads and highways within
it's limits, and to levy and collect all
taxes for that purpose, thereby taking
the road money out Of the hands Of
the County and expending it them
selves. An ordinance calling the cleo
tion has the following section con-
cerning the proposed change in the
manner of collecting and disbursing
road tax paid by the inhabitants Of
the town.
'"rhe power and authority given
by the general laws Of the State of
Oregon to the County Court of Polk
County, Oregon, to divide said county
into road districts and to appoint road
supervisors, to lay out or work high
ways, shall not apply or extend to the
territory within the corporate limits
of the City of Monmouth, but such
territory and inhabitants thereof are
hereby excepted out of the jurisdic-
tion of said county court upon said
subject, provided, that road tax now
provided for by the general laws of
the State of Oregon shall be paid to
the City of Monmouth, and if paid in
work, the same to be done upon the
streets of said city; if paid in money
the money to be expended upon the
repairs or bettermentS of streets. All
suits, actions or other proceedings
concerning road or street work or
taxes shall be prosecuted in the name
of the City of Monmouth, and the
street commissioner or marshal, or
other officer designated by the city for
that purpose, shall have the same
powers to enforce the work upon the
roads or streets in said city that the
supervisors appointed by the county
court now have in Polk County, Ore
gon."
