The st. Paul left St Louis Wednes-
Gay and was due here tonight The Of
ficials OF the Streckfus Steamboat line
state that the accident will not delay
the boat more than a day or two. As
reported in the telegram to The Argus,
the boat will be floated and will pro
coed TO Keoluk under its own steam
if possible. At KeokIk it will be haul
ed up on the government ways and
the bottom will be repaired. Many peo-
pie in this city and Davenport have
tickets to St Paul. Their trip will of
necessity be delayed several days.
Thus far the line has expressed no in
tention of disseminating the through
service to ST. Paul, and a local repre-
sentative said that it will take a more
serious accident than that which befell
the st. Paul today to force them to
take the boat of the upper river.

THE TAX PAYERS ROBBED.

Much has been said from time to time in the
papers of the county concerning the great game of graft
that has been practiced in the administration of the
countys affairs and the days go by and more is
coming to light. AS soon as County Commissioner Nc
Kenzie refused stand in with the graft practice he
was opposed by the other commissioners and repeatedly
taken into court with the view of forcing him stand
for the graft The ferry boat Lake Washington
is one of the notable gratis that has recently
to light The ferry behind last year $1,000 per
month"; when it was operated shift day, and
double that amount when it day and night which
was paid out of the general fund 1t started out the
same way this year and Commissioner Mckenzie began
seek find the therefor and this is what he
found: The commissioners paid the Anderson Steam
Boat Company $50 per barrel for fuel oil and Mckenzie
made contract with the Union Oil Company to furnish
the oil at eighty cents per barrel The county had paid
II per hundred pounds for the railroads put
ting it down at Kirkland, but an investigation and
threat of exposure reduced the price to six cents per
one hundred pounds the ferry carried large free list
and every emp1oye OF the county that had to the
ferry rode on pass as did hundreds Of other political
favortes everybody pays and register has been
placed the boat that the in charge has to

of the whole in stead of the boat losing either $1,000
or $24O0 per month it is clearing than $100 per
month while running two shifts per day. AS in this
case in every other particular, and Commissioner Nc
Kenze estimates that the county treated square

per year would be saved to the tax payers Take the

CONDEMN THE WATER FRONT.

If the tax payers of Seattle would vote bonds to
denim the water front and thereon modern wharf
age they would be doing something that would bring
to them dollar instead Of forever and day after draw
ing on them for dollar, for maintenance, said city
official day this week "In my opinion every foot
of water front in Seattle ought to be condemned and
taken over by the city, not much because it would
pay but to keep those wishing to ship things into the
city from being robbed by the wharf operators Not
many years ago the city of New York had its water
front tied up by the railroads just is Seattes water
front at the present time, and arbitrary did the own
ers become that the city had to begin condemnation pro-
ceedngs and the most of the water front in New
York city owned by the city, and though only reas
enable wharfage fee is charged yet it is source OF
immense revenue to the city The present wharfage or
charges in Seattle about seventy cents per one hun
dred pounds which is to say the least exhorbtant
charge and it could be done by the city for half that
amount and still she would make enormous profit on
the investment 1t might cost Seattle $lOOOOOOO to
get control of the water 'front.' but could make every
cent of that back before the bonds fell due and at the
same time the present wharfages in two. AS it now

DIR. HAZARD AND THE DOCTORS.

The daily papers since last Saturday have had much
to say about the sanatarium maintained by DIR. Linda
Burfeld Hazard, which starved the patients to death
her arrest Dr. Hazard declares it is spite work the
part of the medical association which has sought from
time to time to dscredit her work. For the most part
Dr. Hazards patients have been strong minded men,
who took her treatment and felt we'll satisfied with it.
though the OF them died and the other doctors de-
clare their deaths due to her treatment Not only
were the patients satisfied with her treatment but the
friends and relatives of the patients, equally strong men
tally, expressed themselves being satisfied with her
treatment The way to treat sickness has resolved IT
self to matter of opinion and though the doctors are
learned in their profession and to have made Won
derfu progress caring for the diseased parts OF the
human BODY yet there those who take little or no
stock in their treatment and it right for the law
to step in and force those persons to follow the course
prescribed by the regular physicians, because to the
man up at tree it looks it, when death calls for you
he will pretty nearly getting you in spite OF the
modern skill of the physicians the starvation treat
ment of Dr. Hazard Personally Of the opinion
that Dr. Hazards remedy is darn sight worse than
the disease but others entertain different views on the
subject and are much entitled to their views as we are
to ours and that too in spite of the fact that majority
of the people of the country believe we do. The
physician is perhaps necessary evil in every commun-
ty and when one gets very sick he is sent for not SO

When Mrs S. Foster Kelly refused to discuss the

a MONG the important crops in the
~ states of the central west,
northwest and Pacific coast
are barley and hops, both Of
which require considerable care In
cultivation. The chief market for the
better grades of barley is the mailing
industry, which supplies principally
the brewing and distilling trades. The
principal and almost exclusive market
for hops is the brewing industry.
For a number of years American
and European scientists have devoted
much inquiry to these crops for the
purpose of deciding upon which prop
critics are conditioned their value to
the consumer
With regard to barley, there is con-
siderable difference of opinion. the
views of American and European III
vestigators diverging to an extent.
With regard to hops, scientific inquiry
has not yet proceeded far enough to
state with any degree of certainty
which are the leading characters Of
the plant that make up its value to
the manufacturer who uses it.
Departments of Agriculture Study
Barley and Hops.
The agronomists and chemists of the
State Agricultural colleges and several
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have devoted
great deal Of time to the study of
barley and hops and their improve

farmers to devote attention to the pro-
duction of those properties in these
crops which are most desired by the
consumer. In this work. however,
