modern gas tractor is worth so much to

With the modern gas tractor the
farmer can plow as he never could with
horses. Flowing is tough work for
horses at best and the farmer has a
natural disinclination TO overwork them
by throwing his plows In as deep as he
would II he had no regard for the source
OF his power. The tractor owner has no
compunctions on this score; he can sock
'em In good and deep with no fear Of
tiring his engine or wearing it out Fur
thermore. he can take the time to plow
more thoroughly, because he can cover
so much greater an area in a given time.
The tractor enables the farmer not only
to plow more deeply and to do his plow-
ing in less time. but also to get his
threshing out OF the way earlier and
thus turn TO his fall plowing earlier

CUT OUT So MILES

The Hartman lines have author
lied the expenditure of 5000, 900
for construction work on the North
Coast road in Eastern. Washington
in order to shorten the distance be-
tween Portland and Spokane. The
road will be shortened about so
miles, making this the shortest line
between Portland and the Power
City. Contracts will be let within
a few days and the work will be
completed before the end of 1912.
The plans include some remarkable
bridge work where the line will
cross the Snake River and through
Palouse Canyon, where formidable
engineering problems present them
selves.

ing will be constructed thereon.
Other needs will be met by putting
up such buildings as may be re-
quired. The first will be a temple
of justice which is to cost $500, 900.
1t will house the supreme court,
the attorney general and the law
library. The bill authorizes the
Capital Commission to borrow $3.50, =
600 that this work may begin at
once. Plans are to be received
August |, 1911. A perspective pre-
pared by Ernest Flagg gives very
attractive idea of the group plan he
has in mind, one that if carried out
would grace Washington with the
most attractive Capital Place in the
United States.

WHY DON'T YOU REGISTER

Next Tuesday, the 18th, will be
held special election to vote school
bonds. Ten days later, March 9th,
another election will be held to vote
bonds for the trunk sewer. Satur-
day, March 4th, occurs the annual
school election. In view of the i'm
portance of these elections, the ap-
athy Of the voters toward register
ing is strange. AT the time of this
writing, hardly one-fourth of those
qualified to register have done so.
Pasco, at the same time, has over
400 names on her books. Are the
citizens this side Of the river less
interested in public welfare than
those of our sister city? If they
are not, then let them show some
public spirit and keep the city clerk
busy for the next few days. The
registration books close next Mon
day, the 9th, at midnight. They
are open every day from s a. IN. to
8 p. N. Have your name written
there, and vote the school and sewer
bonds with rousing, representative
majority.

NOT GOOD GOVERNMENT

Should the Compensation for In
jured Workingmen Bill, which is
now pending at Olympia, become a
law, it will lead to the building up
of huge political machine. To adj
minister its operation, a large corps
of deputies will be required in all
parts of the state to see that the
funds are collected. Such a Frank
enstein is not regarded as desirable
by the forces of good government,
which are doing all in their might
to batter down political machines.
Other features of the bill have
caused workingmen to oppose it, as
we'll as interests that willabe ad-
versely affected. The daily tax OF
two cents on every employed per-
sou, no matter what the nature of
his work, does not appeal to the
people whom the bill intends to
benefit. It is estimated that the
tax would net fund of 1000, 900
annually, eighty-fve per cent OF
which would 60 for administration.
This smells of graft, for which rea-
son the bill should be killed.

the man 'on the land, so that the
land may become productive and
profitable. Idle land is a dead loss
and the Southwestern Washington
Development Association can de-
vote its talents and energies to no
more important work than that OF
getting thrifty, industrious citizens
to settle on and develop the unused
areas OF the state.
What we need in this state, tho
the need is not confined exclusively
to this state, is larger army OF
producers. Population has increased
more radidly than production, and
the fact is impressively indicated
in the increased cost of living. Nor
will there be any very great change
in the price list until we do some
thing to increase the number OF
producers in this country.
Washington is fortunate in having
SO much fertile land to offer the
homeseeker; but the state will derive
no substantial benefit from it's good
fortune in this respect unless the
distance between the land and the
thrifty husbandman is closed. Put
the man On the land.

A SPLENDID PERIODICAL

The January number of Better
Fruit" the Apple Show Edition,
was an unusually fine issue of this
valuable journal for fruit growers.
Its 1OS pages contained writeups
of nearly every apple show held in
the Northwest during 1910, and
many columns Of general informa-
ton besides. The edition was pro-
fusely illustrated with over 100 fine
half tones, and well-executed four
color engravings. The writer has
absolutely no incentive to write this
other than the fact that he would
like to see every grower in this val
ley a subscriber for Better Fruit;
Editor Shepard has set and is main
tanning an unusually high standard
for his periodical, both editiorially
and geographically, and deserves
all the credit that can be given him.
There are few magazines of any
kind in the country that are better
printed than the Hood River journal
and none in it's particular line,
which is a boost for Baltes & Co.
of Portland, from whose presses the
magazine comes.

LOST MEMORY. GETS 500.

ELIZABETH, Oct. 1s.-A jury before
Justice Benjamin A. Vail, in the Su-
preme Court here yesterday, gave
a verdict for 5000 for the plaintiff in
the suit brought by Patrick O'Brien
against the A. C. Martin Automobile
Company of Plainield.
O'Brien claimed that while he was
riding a bicycle last year in Plainfeld
was struck by an automobile be-
longing to the defendant company. He
claimed that he had suffered loss of
memory from the accident.
