New York has finally elected man
by the name of James Aloyssus
O'Gorman to the United States senate.
This is an awful name for a senator
to be burdened with, but as he
announces that he stands for a parcels
posts system, direct election of Unit
ed States and Federal income tax, we
can somewhat forgive him for the
name. Mr.. O'Gorman was elected by
the Democratic party, and is said to
be faithful follower of Tammany.
This is not much to his credit, but
the great state of New York has not
been noted for electing men of ability
for many years. He takes the place Of
Mr.. Depew, who has been a vendor
of stale jokes and the right hand man
OF Aldrich, absolutely worthless to the
state of New York or the nation. We
hope Mr.. O'Gorman will be an i'm
provement.

Congress is again in session. For
the first time in many years the
Democrats have a majority in the
House. The Republicans have a
majority in the Senate, but this is so
small that it leaves control practical
ly with the Insurgents. President
Taft called Congress in session for the
purpose of having passed the Canadian
reciprocity bill. 1t is doubtful il
this bill will become a law, or any
other tariff measure at this session.
1t looks as though about all that will
be done will be to play politics to
influence the coming presidential
election next year. The farmers as a
rule are objecting to the Canadian
reciprocity measure, because it re-
moves the tariff on what they pro-
duce, but retains the tariff on what
they buy. Canadian fruits, veg
etables, livestock, butter and eggs will
come in practically free, but the tariff
is still retained on machinery, fenc-
ings, etc., or things they have to
purchase. The fact is the farmer

fed by. the. manliness of the students
who came forward and admitted their
guilt. A Tacom boy was expelled,
but protested his innocence. When
the notice of expulsion was posted,
the three guilty men who had not
even been suspected, stepped forward
and ackn wledged their guilt, stating
that the Tacoma boy had nothing to
do with the fracas. All honor to these
young men who were honestI enough
and courageous enough to tell the truth
and save the disgrace of an innocent
fellow student, We have great hopes
for these young men. Though guilty OF
an objectionable offence, still they
had the honor and manhood to tell
the truth, as shown by their action,
and will make men of themselves and
are entitled to great deal of credit.

The State Legislature which adj
journed recently has been criticised
most severely for it's failure to act on
the many road measures which came
before it. The old state aid law was
repealed, and the construction of a
main trunk highway was left with the
county commissioners to act under
the state highway commission. North
western Washington was opposed to
the plan known as the Sam Hill
system, and this caused a bitter fight.
So much SO, that the legislature ad-
journed with the road laws in the
worse kind of a muddle. The main
fight arose over what was known as
the Pacific Highway system. This
system Was planned to build a trunk
line of macadam road from Blaine
south to the Columbia river, with a
branch to Grays Harbor; and also
another road across the Cascade
mountains to Spokane. 1t caused a
bitter fight and many explanations
furnished by Chairman McNeelly,
and several members of the good roads
committee. The matter seemed to be
about as badly mixed as ever. 1t
remained for Commissioner Bowlby
and Senator Collins, of King county,
to give a rational explanation of the
condition the road laws are in.
Commissioner Bowlby says that the
Pacific Highway Can be built without
any additional legislation. Under the
old law one mill levy was allowed
for public highways, provided the
county would pay one-half the cost of
the road. Under the new law, the
same levy is allowed, but the money
must be spent under the direction of
the county commissioners. Under
the new law every county could begin
building Pacific Highway just as
they could under the old law, if they
decide to do so.

The Ranch Office has received from
the Fruit Grower, of st. Joseph, Mo-,
book called "The Fruit Growers
Guide" by e. II. Favor, associate
editor. This book contains about
300 pages of practical advice to people
who grow fruits of any kind. 1t takes
up the matter of spraying, diseases,
pests, pruning, orchard heating,
harvesting and packing. There is a
chapter devoted to small fruits and
one to the orchard as a whole. 1t is
written in every day language with no
attempt to take up abstruse theories.
The book sells for dollar, and i any
of our readers desire it, they can
order through The Ranch office.

The Ranch office is in receipt of a
few copies of the Soil Survey Of the
eastern part of the Puget Sound basin.
This work was done by A. W. Man
gum, under the supervision of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton. This shows the different soils
and giving their values for crop pro-
duction. This survey shows where
soils are deficient in any element of
fertility, so that persons can govern
themselves as to crops best adapted
to their particular localities. We
will send these to any person, on re-
quest, as long as they last.

WHITE DEER SKINS.

1hsy Passed About a. eanknetss q
One Time In China.
In China, the first country In the
world credited with using banknotes
certain skins were so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand in the same way
as banknotes are ut the present day
The negotiability of these skins arose
thus:
The Emperor Gu TT, being in want
of money, gave his treasurer to under
stand that such state Of affairs
must not continue. At that time It
was customary for princes and court
iers on entering the royal presence to
cover their faces with a piece Of skin.
Taking advantage of this custom, the
treasurer ordered decree to be issued
forbidding the use Of any other skins
for this purpose except those OF a GER
tain white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately there was demand for
pieces of these skins, which, being
monopoly, were sold at high price
and the royal Golfers refilled. The
steady value Of the skins thus secured
made them readily pass and accepta BILE
as an equivalent Of coin Of the realm.
