FIRST SOD TURNED
FOR SElAH LINE
Workmen for the Contractors
Are on the Ground Making a
Grade for the Teams

The first sod was turned Monday
into the Selah of the line of the Yak
ina Valley Transportation company.
The fact Is however, that it wasn't
sod 1t was just plain, ordinary Yak
ina hillside. The workmen went at
it with pick and shovel working out
a grade sufficient to enable the teams
and the tram cars and the other
paraphernalia to be placed to ad-
vantge. The men were strung out
for long distnce on the side hill just
above the clubhouse location at the
state quarry site. The work, as prev
iously stated is looked upon as q
four months job but will probably
extend to August. 1t is the under
standing that the line be in sharpe to
handle the fruit crop of the present
season.
1t is the expectation that work VIII
be undertaken in few days on the
pier construction for the crossing of
the Naches river. The time would
appear. according to those who know
the river, to be opportune. The Wa
ter is lower now than it has been Tor
years and the present likelihood is
that the rise is a couple of months
away So long as the nights remain
cool there will not be much of a rise
in the water unless unusual weather
conditions in the way of rain prevail
or snow at the lower levels which. Is
nor at all likely, 1t is understood
that no ATTEMPT win be made to ana
terially lessen the width of the river
al the point OF crossing. To do so
would be to court danger in dealing
with a mountain stream

Industrial peace is even more ne
cessary than International peace"
This is the observation of one of the
greatest captains of industry who
sees in the movement of the times
a general upsetting of industrial af-
fairs and probably long period Of
readjustment. Strikes and walkouts
and demands from this and that fac
tor in the industrial world has caused
hating of industrial progress and
lmping of prosperity. A serious
side to the whole agitation is to con-
slider how much of it is really worth
while and how much is merely II
clouding of the industrial waters with
little hope. of social or Industrial bet
torment.

Champ Clark points significantly Ia
the fact that the republican, nationa
convention is TO be held on the 18th
of June, which is the anniversary of
the Battle of Waterloo. This may be
ominous for somebody but it is hardly
to be seen where any grain of COM
fort can come to the democratic
nominee who will be called upon to
face the Hero of Waterloo.

Following out the demand for in
dustrial peace if such a thing is pos
sible bills have been introduced both
in the house and in the senate to
carry out the presidents recommen-
dation for the establishment of A
commission to inquire into the exist
ing relations between capital and
labor. One of the objects is to learn
what effect the organizations of en-
ployers and workers has on the pub
lie welfare. incidentally the commits
sion is to give some attention to as
pertaining the methods employed in
Europe for maintaining industrial"
peace. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing if the peace movement of the ma
tons were energized in this direction
that more would be done to improve
conditions than will be done in any
other direction.

Now is the time to prune hybrid
perpetual and hybrid tea roses
This is the most important opera
ton of all and requires the utmost
care.
Save all the cuttings and select thu
hard, wooded part of the pruning
the harder it is, the better-for cut
ting as soon as they are cut. Place
them in soil or sand. A rose cutting
is like a fish out of water. 1t soon
begins to wither and die after it is
cut. Make the cutting about seven
inches i'm length; plant in a trench
five inches deep. Pack the soil hard,
leaving only three eyes above ground.

GIVING THE BOYS A CHANCE.

GIVING THE BOYS A CHANCE.
The plan of offering prizes TO slim
ulate the boys and girls in agricultur-
a districts to compete for prizes and
| interest themselves in making the soil
| produce better quantity and better
quality of any one of the standard
crop products is one that is sweeping
the country. The corn and the cotton
clubs of the south are now to be sup
plemented by the potato and apple
clubs of the west.
mira BILE. 1t is a well conceived plan
to educate the boys on the farm that
and as rich rewards to be had for the
expenditure of brain and muscle en-
ergy as can be obtained through any
other source. But this work ought to
be only supplemental to the york Of
the rural schools, which under the
same stimulous are now turning at
tention to the field of their real use
fulness.
The work of the rural school is now
being differentiated and directed into
new channels. 1t is no longer thought
to be the thing to train the rural
school boy to prepare himself to at
tend the city school and turn him
away from the farm but to educate
him in line that will have direct
bearing to the work he has at home
on the farm. The rural school course
has now distinctive meaning and
aims at giving the pupils of the rural
schools a better appreciation of the
problems that lie directly at hand.
1t is now quite generally conceded
that the following subjects are ne
cessary for the proper training of
rural school teachers and the knowl-
edge reflected through them will
mark the distinction of the rural
school course of study. The subjects
are: mature study, elementary princi
pies of practical agriculture, sanitary
science and hygiene, domestic econo-
my and pra ctical principles and prob
lens In elementary chemistry and
physics as applied to the study Of
these subjects. Under such a course
as might be outlined from this pre-
paration the boy in the rural schools
will be given a new insight and a new
interest in the possibilities Of the farm
life.
Under such a course of study in the
Canadian rural schools it is estimated
that the wheat yield in the provinces
has increased five bushels an acre in
few years time and the good effects
are still going on. If the rural schools
of the United States could equal the
record of the schools across the bor-
der and increase the wheat yield five
oushels per acre the net increase to
the country would be millions of dol
lars and the money would go directly
back to the country and would add
immensely to lettering rural condi-
lions,
The results obtained from the slim
ulous to the corn and cotton yields in
the south and middle west Justify the
assertion that an increase in either
one of these crops is entirely possible
and that the whole country can do
what is being done in specific instan
ces by the encouragement of the boys
on the farm Under such a system of
encouragem the boys on the farm
will be kept on the farm and the lure
of the city will loses much of it's at

Two hundred Dutch farmers and
their families have arrived in New
York enroute to iowa, where they
have secured lands for forming q
colony, This is part of the general
plan to bring to America this year
and in the near future colonies of
Dutch, Belgians, Danes and other
immigrants from northern Europe
and place them on lands in the Uni
ted States where they may apply the
methods OF intensive cultivation that
they have been forced to employ in
the countries from which they came
because of the congestion of the
population and lack of land It is the
beginning of an era of intensive de-
velopment of the agricultural lands
of the country, a breaking up of the
farm units and will make a revolu-
ton in present methods of agricul-
ture.

CONSTRUCTING DEM Alto
PLATFORMS.

I1JA1tDkMS.
The democratic movement in con-
gress at this session is bent to the
sole purpose of creating issues upon
which the party may go before the
people in the coming campaign. Tar
if revision is the first of these and
the bills introduced in congress are
drawn more with the idea of their
of the idea of their usefulness in
reducing the cost of living or creating
public revenue.
Filled with the thought that the
democratic successes OF the campaign
of 1910 was due mainly to the de-
mands of the people for further re-
vision of the tariff the democra is
have seized upon that issue and have
planned to flood the country with
prospective bills. They railroad these
bills through the house running the
steam roller over all opposition,
knowing that they will have little
occasion to worry whether or not
they will be effective as laws because
a republican senate and republican
president will see that they are not
passed.
They hasten on from schedule to
schedule because they do not have to
put their patchwork together, but can
boast that they have effected so much
of saving to the people by the re-
duction of the tariff schedules re-
CARELESS of the fact that they have
not provided for the necessary re-
venues for meeting the expenses of
the government. It is only when that
issue is raised and pressed as it has
been in the sugar bill that they begin
to cast about for ways and means
of meeting the large deficits that
their revisions have created
This is the occasion now for the
income tax measure which is sent to
congress from the committee in con-
nection with the revision of the sugar
schedules, To meet the deficit of
S35, 100000 which would be lost to
the government by putting sugar on
the free list the democrats propose
to levy an income tax. 1t works out
beautifully on paper but the pro-
motors fail to set out the fact that
such an income tax has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court of the United States and
that to meet such an emergency con
gress has passed constitutional
amendment and that now two years
practically after it is passed not
enough state legislatures have acted
favorably on the amendment to make
it legal
To assert as Mr.. Bryan has recently
done that the income tax is what
the people are really wanting is 10
make an assertion which, in the light
of the action already taken on the
income tax amendment, is not sup
ported by facts. This being true the
proposal to raise revenue by means
of an income tax is a proposal to dc
something which cannot he done un-
der the law as it has been construed
and under the wishes of the people
as they have already expressed them

Animals to Be Fattened in This
Valley for Display This
Fall at Lewiston
CATTLE AND HOG MEN
MAY ALSO ENTER CONTEST
DR.. S. B. Nelson Tells of the Al
tempts Made to Increase the
Business in This Part of the
Northwest


fattened in the Yakima valley this
year for exhibition this fall at the
live stock show at Lewiston. The
animals will be a portion of the hold
ings of Messrs. Rothrock & Andersen
and they will be cared for in this
valley somewhere between North
Yakima and Ellensburg, probably in
Kittitas county, as it is there the
gentlemen have their sheep head
quarters. 1t is just possible that
II. Stanley Coffin, George Prior
& Son and other leading breed
ers will make some effort to get into
the competition with classy animals
Duncan Dunn of Wapato, who last
year waltzed away with all the i'm
portant prizes for classy fat cattle,
will again he in the contest and
Messrs. White, Linbarger and other
in.
Very Heavy Cash Prizes
Dr. S. B. Nelson, state veterinarian,
who was here Monday, is an enthus-
last on the subject and is making
every effort to spread interest in the
Lewiston show, which will be Decem-
Der next, to 10 inclusive. There
are now 215 members in the North
west Live Stock association each OF
whom is a breeder or otherwise con-
nected with the business. AS body
they are making especial efforts to
induce the culture of livestock ana
to that end will distribute at Lewis
ton this fall over $1,000 III cash prizes
in addition to special prizes of one
kind and another, many OF which
will be valuable pure bred animals
which can be used by the breeders.
Seventeen carloads of fat animals
were shown at the Lewiston show
and sale last year and DR.. Nelson says
that there will be between fifty and
sixty this December. For the best
care of sheep, of cattle and of hogs
the first prize will be $500 each with
substantial second and third prizes.
Prizes of 500 will be numerous and
there are all sorts of other prizes.
Community Has a Contest
One unique contest will be that
known as the community four-horse
team contest This is successful
and popular event in Canada. Any
four people in one community, each
of whom owns a horse, may unite
and show their four to harness. In
this event at Lewiston four gold
watches costing $50 each are to be
the prizes
1--WE are operating in connection
with the Portland proposition" said
DR.. Nelson, "theirs being spring dis
play and ours in the fall and are
arousng considerable enthusiasm. We
have a sale and such enthusiasm as
was evinced last year is hard to
realize. We had those hard headed
old stockmen with the tears running
down their cheeks when the enthus-
iasm got high and it was Hurrah for
Nez Perez or Hurrah for lewiston
or 'Hurrah for Latah' and the air
was full of hats and noise and en-
thusiasm.
We want to get a trainload of peo-
pie from Yakima there this year. We
are also attempting to get trainload
from Spokane and Lewiston and
Camas Prairie to go to Portland this
month The stock business is the
right end and we are creating the
right sentiment in connection there
