FREAK LIQUIDATION"

Under the above heading the Carson
City News has the following to offer
regarding the bin introduced in the as.
sembly providing for the removal Of
the state capital to Winnemucca:
"In every legislature there is al
ways more or less freak legislation pro
posed which usually dies a natural
death for the good Of the people. The
first bill of this nature to be pro
posed in the legislature is that of
Robins, of Humboldt, who has pre-
scented a bill asking for the change Of
capital from Carson City to winnemue-
ca. The measure is herewith given in
its entirety:
Assembly joint concurrent resolu.
tion No. 4, proposing to amend section
! of article Is Of the constitution ap-
pertaining to the sea- of government.
"Resolved by the assembly, the SEN
ate concurring: That the constitution
of the state of Nevada be amended SO
as to read as follows:
"Amend section ], article Is, so that
the same shall read as follows:
"Section THE seat of government
shall be at Winnemucca, county Of
Humboldt
The exact meaning Of the term
"freak legislation" in this eonnec-
ton, is rather ambiguous. One thing,
however, is certain. The state of Ne
vada needs a new capitol building, and
needs it badly. The question to be de-
termined is whether the tail will be
allowed to wag the dog or vice versa.
1t would seem that the people who have
occasional business at the capital have
been compelled to visit an almost in
accessible country village long enough.
The Ormsby county delegation has
introduced a bill in the legislature pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000
with which to repair the present shack
by courtesy called a state house. But
that would be only a beginning. Sue
ceeding legislatures would be called up
on for similar appropriations until the
total amount sunk in an old building
would approximate the cost of a mod
ern structure.
Move the state capitol out onto the
main lines of travel, where it will be
easily accessible to the tens of thous-
ands of people who will have made
Nevada their homes before the new
building is ready for occupancy.

ALE SUTHERLAND AMENDMENr

- -
The debate on the bill in the United
States Senate providing for the cleo
ton of senators by direct vote of the
people seems now to hinge upon the
amendment of Senator Sutherland, of
Utah, which provides:
"The time, places and manner of
holding elections for senators and rep
resentatives shall be prescribed in
each state by the legislature thereof;
but the congress may at any time by
law make or alter such regulations,
except as to places Of choosing sen.
ators.'
As the southern senators are against
this amendment, it is probable that the
bill will fail of passage At this session
of congress.

Still a Glimmer of Hope

Close as the friendship is between
Mr.. Bryan and Speaker Clark. the
former takes occasion to rebuke the
latter, with the suggestion of asper-
ity, for the grandiloquent, flag wav-
ing speech, assumed to have had so
much to do with the defeat of reci-
procity in Canada. Mr.. Bryan seems
to be of the opinion that the damage
to American Canadian interests is ir-
reparable-in other words that resi-
procity as an issue or possibility is
so dead as to be beyond resurrection.
There is really no occasion for
long-standing friendships to be shat
tered over this affair. 1t is not to he
denied that Speaker Clark's utter
ance was unfortunate; but it is I
matter of exceeding doubt if that
utterance adversely decided the fate
of reciprocity for all time. 1t is only
to be expected that, as the heat Of
political conflict in Canada wears
away, the people of that country who
were frightened by the bogey-man of
annexation will begin to realize how
ridiculous their attitude was. We as
consider that on the whole the peo-
pie of Canada are intelligent; though
they may be a little slow in appreci-
ating the true essence of American
humor.
This matter of reciprocity is not a
matter of sentiment; and it is not to
be settled ultimately one way or the
other by sentimental considerations.
1t is a matter of economics, Of trad
ing, of figures of dollars and cents;
and it proposes that arrangements
which, in the course of time, will es-
tablish natural relations between the
two countries with reference to all
these things. 1t is quite likely that
the issue will not be Immediately re-
vived; but that 1t is beyond resusita-
ton is beyond belief. The sound bus
mess sense that must ultimately DOM
mate the conduct of affairs in both
countries will not let it die.-Port-
land Telegram.

Strikes Don't Paw

Strikes are not profitable. The men
who strike do not gain anything by
striking. If the laboring men of this
country would study the statistics
compiled by the federal government
on the subject of strikes they would
understand the utter folly of resort
ing to this method of forcing employ
ers to do what they think they ought
to do.
Strikes sometimes raise wages;
they sometimes shorten hours; but
who pays the freight in the final
analysis? The men who strike; and
besides, when large number of men
strike they put upon the concern for
which they work, and consequently
upon the community, an enormous
burden, part of which ultimately they
must share.
AS a fact, the big part of the cost
of strikes is paid by the men who
strike, and in most instances what
they gain, even in cases where they
are successful, is not enough tc
square the account; it is losing
proposition, for precisely the same
TCdSOH lIdl VIE nOChOul WAS q
losing proposition.
The strike on the Hartman ram
road lines. Immediately involving 35,
900 men, and involving very many
more in an indirect way, is a case III
point. These men may gain some lit
tie advantage by striking; but why
should they pay, what they must pay
by striking. price for some advan-
tage they would not have to pay if
they proceeded along different lines ?
Arbitration, the spirit of conceding
something to the other fellow, is the
remedy for all disputes between the
man who tolls and the man who pays
and the men who take a different
view of it are not reasoning clearly
observation-disclosures.

Extensive Poultry Fattcning

A bulletin entitled "Fattening Poul-
try" describing successful methods of
fattcning poultry on n large CONNER
cial scale and giving complete data on
the feeding of over 100. 900 birds. has
department of agriculture. 1t gives
information of operations on an ex-
tensive scale and so far as known Is
the first publication showing the cost
of producing a pound of gain in poul-
try.
THE successful feeding OF poultry
depends largely on the ability of the
feeder to notice the condition of the
chickens on feed" Is one of the fun
damentals laid down by the bulletin.
The common practice in poultry pack
ing houses is to feed each lot II days
or less. Most of the 'mill<-fed' chick
ems are fed Ia days. Practically all
of the special feeding in this country
involves the use of milk, which pro-
duces the 'milk-fed chickens of the
market, Milk, while the least expen-
sive, seems to be the most essential
constituent of the ration. and when a
feeder cannot get milk in some form
he generally does not attempt to fat
ten poultry commercially
Crate feeding from troughs is the
method employed in this country by
most of the large fattening esta blish-
ments, with to 10 fowls in "a crate

ant influence on the digestive process,
keeping the fowls in good condition
under forced feeding. Beef broth liz
used to some extent, but it is not as
good as milk. At the beginning fowls
should be fed lightly for two or three
feeds, gradually Increasing the amount
until they do not clean up all that is
given to them. The main object should
be to keep their appctities keen and
at the same time have them consume
as much feed as they can assimulate
BY feeding of a small amount often
they will eat a greater quantity and
their appetities will remain keener."
The conclusions reached by the in
vestigation show that general purpose
fowls make more economical gains in
ia ttening than the Mediterranean
class. The average person will get
better results in fattening by feeding
three times rather than twice daily. II
was found that the average cost OF
feed and labor per pound of gain for
a large lot of poultry was 900 cents
and the cost of the feed alone was
10 cents. 1t was also observed that
hens made less gain than chickens, in
crate fattening and that low grade
wheat flour was a more economical
feed than oat -four at the present
prices of grain.

MADE THE FLOOD WORSE
Topography of Austin, PENNSYLVANIA,
Contributed Largely

Hills on either side of Freeman's
run. the stream that was damned
three miles above Austin, made verit-
able bikes that sent the water down
in a volley, according to Lyle Swan
son, who used to live in Austin and
whose father made the first esti-
mate on building a dam for the paper
pulp company.
"Clevelands run is a very small
stream" he said today. THE bridge
across ii in Austin is about twenty
feet wide. One may walk across the
stream in the summer time by step
ping on stones. There was not enough
water at times to supply the paper
pulp company, so the dam was built
Swanson was in Austin seven
months during the year 1908. He was
helping his father, j. G. Swanson,
who had the contract to construct the
waterworks plant at Austin.
Swanson's father was asked by the
pulp company to draw up plans for n
dam and to make a bid. The bid he
announced called for $4,000 The
dam was to be $40 feet long and As
feet high.
The pulp company thought this
figure too high, but year after the
dam was built at q cost of SS0,00
About a year ago the dam de-
veloped big bulge" Swanson said.
AT that time a section was dyna-
mited and the dam repaired. When
the dynamiting took place many of
the residents of Austin moved away
temporarily.
The dam backed the water up for
about three miles. The estimate of
five hundred million gallons of water
held in check by the dam does not
seem too much, About mile below
the dam is the pulp company plant.
The hills on the right seem to widen
out at this point and come together
again just above Austin. On the left
the hills are farther away from the
creek bed, but form an almost
straight and solid all."--Battle
