GRUB WANTS MORE IRISH Pc.
TATOES

E. II. Grubb-don't smile of the
United States devartment of agricul-
ture, has been sent to Great Britain
to look over British methods in the
production of the Irish potato, of
which this country imports one-fourth
of its annual supply.
1t appears thaht Mr.. Grub, in
grubbing around, has discovered that
the English farmer is peeling us on
the production of potatoes. Mr.. Grub
is a potato grower in the irrigated
potato belt of Colorado and in his
report he speaks of the British farm
ers alertness in taking advantage of
anything and everything in adaptable
implements and methods that point
to greater production to the acre.
THAT is why Lord Rosebery, on soil
that has been cultivated for hundreds
of years, can grow 1000 bushels of
potatoes to the acres,' writes Mr..
Grub, while the best I can do on
my irrigated farm in Colorado is 900
bushels"

HARRISON RESIGNS FEDERAL JOB
Head of Idaho Field Division Will
Engage in Law Practice
Here

Clinton H. Harrison, who since
March, 1909, has been chief of the
special agents of the interior depart
ment in the Idaho field division, has
rendered his resignation, and upon its
acceptance will retire from the gov
eminent service and take up the prac-
tice of law in Boise. He will make a
svecialty of mining, land and irrga-
ton law. He has taken suits PIT in
the Idaho building.
When Mr.. Harrison took charge of
the special agents in this territory he
found conditions in bad shape. There
was good deal of nasty feeling on
account of alleged abuse of authority
on the part of certain special agents
and the resultant friction ramified in
many directions to the detriment of
entrymen and the further complica-
ton of land matters. Hr. Harrison
succeeded in untangling these snarls,
and leaves the office with an entirely
different state of affairs existing.
Mr.. Harrison secured his legal edu.
cation at the George Washington uni
versity of Washington, D. C. He en-
tered the government service in June
1908, and in 1908 and 1909 rendered
valuable assistance at Portland, Ore,
in the Oregon land fraud cases. He
was transferred from that point to
Boise to take charge of the Idaho di-
vision.

The project involves the building
of solid concrete dam across the
river, a powerhouse, and new lock

of river traffic.
The United States government and
the Mississippi River Power company
are Jointly interested in the enter
prise. The government secures free
of cost new lock and dry dock, to
replace the present canal and three
locks, which will be submerged by
the new dam-the new lock being
much larger than the old ones. The
government secures also a new per-
manent navigable stage of water for
a distance of 60 miles north of the

This is Old

A few days ago an irascible young
man could not get the number he
called for as quickly as he desired. :.
"See here, Central" he shouted,
'Ill report you"
"You don't know who I am" was
the calm reply.

blamed quick, too"

soft, sweet tone over the wire.
You're in the big Office furniture
building. I've seen your picture"
"You have?" exclaimed the young
man delightedly, and he mentally
kicked himself for having been so
rude to so sweet a girl.
Where did you see it? Was it in
the Furniture Journal"
NO" came the laughing reply.

Twas a Good Suit

John w. Fisher, manager of the
Interstate Telephone Company, Ltd.
tells good story of a wealthy old
scotchman who always scorned os-
tentatious clothing.
The old man had worn one suit of
clothing for 40 years to Fishers per-
sonal knowledge.
One day Fisher made bold to ask,
Sandy, why do you not buy your
self new suit of clothes you've worn
that suit for 40 years." Sandy smiled
indulgently. "Mon," said he. "What
guild would it do to dress up in Spo-
kane; everybody knows me-"
The argument seemed irrefuftable.
A year later, Mr.. Fisher was in
San Francisco when he met Sandy
drinking Scaotch whiskey and other
wise enjoying himself-but still wear
ing the same old threadbare suit
Il see you have the same old suit
of clothes, Sandy" said Fisher. "Why
don't you dress up?"
"Man, what guild wad it do" said
Sandy. "Naebody here knows me. !"

the collar anyway, whether it needed
it or not.-Republican
