The Bug in the Spud

THE potato growers OF California, and meaning particularly those
who have cornered the market, are attempting to protect hemselve
from competition with the potato growers OF Nevada by tase and
fraudulent representations; falsely representing that Ncvadagrown po
tatocs are infected With what they have invented and call the eel worm.
1t Is n notorious fac that Nevada grown potatoes are better than Cali
forna potatoes. with Or without worms of any kind whatsoever. The
press agent of the parties who have cornered the California market will
have TO work more than eight hours a day to exclude Nevada potatoes
from any market, because they are the best.
DEMOCRATS in the West Virginia Legislature are tryng to II
eat a Republican ad other Republicans refuse to attend the sessions.
The Democrats threaten % have them arrested by the Sergeant alarms
and brought forciby into the House, and the Republican Governor
threatens to protect them from arrest by use OF the militia. What do
the masses of votes who do OF care much just where the pie counter
is located, think OF a party squabble like that?

IMPROVEMENTS FOR PAsCo

Improvement Work this Year.

Pasco, Wash, May 4, (speciaD-
Pasco stands for progress, Last
night the Council awarded contracts
that provide for the immediate
paving and improvement of the main
streets of the city.
For some months the Council
Committee has been busy with trips
OF investigation to various cities of
the Pacific Northwest for the pur-
pose of determining the most de-
sirable kind of paving for use in
this climate. Their report covered
wide experiences by various cities,
with concrete, asphalt, hassam,
westrumite, bitulithic, brick and
wood blocks. The committee re-
ported unanimously in favor of
bithulithic. Bids were received
from companies representing most
of the pavements above named.
Prices varied considerably, a num-
Der being offered for less per square
yard, than bitulithic, but in view of
the favorable reports in the towns
where this form of pavement has
been tested for a long period of
years, it was considered that btu
lithic is unquestionably the cheapest
in the long run.
