Of senatorial elections. Southern Dem
ocratic senators swallowed their re-
pugnance to this feature and voted
for the bill, but the house would not
have IT. At the close of the extra
session there were so many members
of both houses absent that IL was al
most impossible to handle a situation
of this kind. but in the regular session
there is little doubt that a compromise
win be reached and the amendment in
some form win pass and go to the
state legislatures for ratification.
The extra session broke party lines
into small pieces. On reciprocity the
Republican president and the Demo
Gratis OF both houses were found fight
ing shoulder to shoulder. with only a
minority of either the regular or in
surgent Republicans supporting them.
But on the tariff and statehood meas
ures the lines switched and the Demo
Gratis and insurgents were together
against the president and the regulars.
In scarcely any case during the entire
session was there a straight party
fight. The Democrats were united
much more closely than their oppo-
nents. In nearly every instance. at
least on important measures. the Dem
ocratic vote was q unit, while that OF
the Republicans was divided

What this forebodes for the future It

not succeed in capturing the next Re-
publican national convention. Certain 1t
is that Senator La Toilette maneuvered
himself into a position of great power
In the extra session. His voice was
the voice OF the senate in the tariff bill

and La Toilette of the senate were the
two men who decided the character of

THE CITIZENS MEETING.

A goodly number of our solid clti-
zens met at the Probate court room
Monday evening, pursuant to q call
in the Bulletin, for deyising means
for the better protection against fire
in Mountain Home. A. w. Lockman
was called to preside and A. G. Smith
elected secretary. Il. G. Helfrich
said that the railroad company had
agreed that their tank might be
tapped for the purpose of a supply
of water in case of a fire, for a
small consideration; whereupon 1t
was moved and carried that the chair
appoint one of the gentlemen pres
ent who would proceed to Caldwell
and ascertain all particulars relating
TO similar works as proposed here
and now in operation at that place,
and W. j. Turner was delegated to
Perform that duty. The next day,
Mr.. Turner being unable to so, Man
uel Comes was substituted and he
proceeded to Caldwell returning that
night His report, we learn, is very
satisfactory, and as all property own
ers have signified willingness to do
nate literally there is no doubt that
waterworks will be in operation here
before many weeks pass by, and
! that eventually a beautiful park will
adorn the plaza of Mountain Home.

Many farmers are so intent on
making money for the moneys sake
thai they take no thought Of the
great possibilities Of perfect living in
the country.
MONEY IN SEED GROWING.
Enormous Increase In Quantity Pro-
duced For Commercial Purposes.

Enormous Increase In Quantity Pro.
dueed For Commercial Purposes.
According to Joseph A Arnold of
the United States department of agri-
culture. there is profit in raising high
grade seed. Seed crops of sweet corn,
garden peas and beans Of good quality
are in ever increasing demand. and
the quantity needed yearly has be-
come SO large that the scotsman is
obliged to have the major portion of
his stock grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous increase in the
quantity Of seeds produced for COM
mercial purposes. This has been due
in large measure to the development
of seed growing and handling as
business. There are now nearly a
thousand seed firms doing business in
the United States. One of the largest
of these uses buildings with an aggre
gate floor space of more than sixteen
acres. This space is much larger than
was occupied by the entire seed trade
"a tue OniS ully dSOs
The quality also has vastly improved.
One of the most encouraging devel-
opments in the growing of garden veg
etables is the increasing recognition Of
the practical Importance Of using pure
and uniform stocks of seed whose va
rietal characteristics adapt them to
distinct local conditions and market
requirements. Another consideration
is the fact that the growing Of seed
crops of these vegetables can be un-
dertaken without any radical change
in farm practice or material increase
in farm equipment These conditions
make this industry well worth the at
tention Of farmers who are located
where soil and climatic conditions are
favorable for the best development Of
such seeds.
However, the raising of these vege-
tables for seed crops is not recon-
mended for all circumstances even
when soil and climate are suitable.
The farmer who contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
| to consider thoroughly the many ele-
ments which enter into profits. Seeds
| men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at veg low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of the species can be sold on the mar
ket. Such a condition might be due to
any of several causes, but usually
rests on an oversupply or a demand
for an inferior product. The general
tendency now. however, is decidedly
in the other direction, and both seed
dealers and seed growers can do much
by cooperation to further this tend
ency.
