the reduction OF the salary o: CGl. I.
ii. Ficilin, principal OF the Washing
ton school for boys, from $3.50 q
year to 81 900 and trust that Council
man Charles 3. Marshall will not de-

ughly investigated and Col. Fick!in'S
SALARY restored to its former figure.
Col. Ficklin has served the city ful
more than thirty years and hundreds
of Alexandria boys have received I
large part of their education under
his direction and now in the latter
wears OF his life, when the cost Of llv-

dcos not seem fair that his income
should be reduced $3.50 per annum.
The school board is not entirely to
blame in the matter. They arc given
Il certain amount of money by Coun-

they are compelled to divide this APP

developed into a contest between the
railroad company and the unions. the
railroad being determined to crush
the A. r. U.
The leaders were arrested upon
complaints before a United States
commissioner and their examining
trials were held in the eastern part
of the state and continued for weeks.
The contest was marked with great
bitterness and determination. Emf
nent counsel was engaged by the
railroad to assist the government.
The union men were at the end of
long strike and not only were with

In this situation. fighting for their
lives and for organization, they
sought counsel. whom they could pay
only with promises and with graft
tude. They appealed to the young
lawyer in Elko county who is now
the junior senator and he devoted his
ability and skill with unquestioned
loyalty to their cause.
The examination before the United
States commissioner resulted in the
union men being bound over to the
federal grand jury and indictments
were returned and the cases were
tried in the federal court at Carson
City in the fall of 1894, where again
a great array Of counsel employed
! by the railroad company assisted the
United States attorney. The trial
lasted for two weeks and was mem.
orable for the bitterness and ability
with which it was contested. The
young Elko lawyer secured an acquit
tai for his clients and he actually re

HONORABLE ". A. MASSEY HAS HAD AN EVENTFUl LIFE.
Republican Candidate Development

William Alexander Massey. United
States senator and candidate of the
republican party to succeed himself,
was born in Perry county. Ohio.
October Z, 1856. His father was
physician. A few years after the
birth Of Senator Massey he went
with his parents TO Paris. ILL.,. where
he lived until he was about 20 years
old. He was educated In the U. c.
college and at Asbury university, in
Greencastle. Ind. and was admitted
to the bar. practlcing law in Indiana
until 1885, when he came west and
was attracted by the mining excite
ment in Elko county at old Tusca.
rora. lie went there In 1886 and has
ever since resided in this state.
Took Up Mining
Nearly everybody in Nevada is or
has been at some time interested in
mines, and those who do not actually
prospect or work in mines are con-
stantly taking flyers" in mining
stocks or occasionally going in on a
grub stake.
Senator Massey has had experience
in all Of these symptoms of the min

months before his appointment to
the senate. The junior senator of
Nevada had the advantage of being
brought up on a farm in Illinois
and the discussion turned upon in
ventions in farming machinery and
the advance In farming conditions.
One gentleman related an incident
told by his grandfather of the time
when the now almost discarded i'm
plement known as the cradle" for
harvesting grain was invented.
Up TO that time grain was harvest
ed with a sickle and the cradle was
a tremendous advance, and this held
the field for many years. Then came
the old Johnson reaper, then the self
raker followed by the Marsh hara-
vester, the wire binder and the Irvine
binder The boys and men of 20
and so years ago viii all agree that
the job of "raking OFF, by hand the
grain as it was cut by the old John
son reaper in heavy field of wheat
was the worst job that ever mortal
man had to tackle.
The incident was told of the SEN
ator from Nevada who was then a
boy of Is, where three husky men
had attempted this job on a certain
sweltering day in Illinois and had
one after another pushed" one OF
them having fallen off the machine
in a faint. The 16-year-old boy tack
led the job and had TO be literally
pulled off the machine to save his
life.
Represented Railroad Men
About year after Senator Massey
began the practice of law in Nevada
namely. in 1894, strike was declared
in Nevada upon all the railroads
carrying Pullman cars, which brought
about one of the bitterest contest.
between organized labor and tn,

dered in this state.

which remains. It is, however, not
perfectly successful. Some persons
have tried sulphuric acid on the roots.
This is ditficnlt thing to handle for
it is very injurious to the hands and
the person. 1t usually kills the
dandelion roots, but in some cases
they escape.
Recently good many people have
tried spraying for dandelions, and
this is recommended by some. The
method used is to make solution of
iron sulphate, two pounds to one
gallon of water. Apply this to the
lawn with spray pump so that 1T
will make fine mist. Some people
put half an ounce of sulphuric acid
in each gallon of the spray. In any
event, all that this spray can do is to
kill the tops. II, however, one should
begin in the spring and kill the tops
with the spray and then repeat the
process as often as new ones appear,
one ought in time to get rid OF the
roots by starving them out. This
spray does little or no injury to
lawn grass and clover. It sometimes
blackens the edges of leaves a little,
but the damage is never serious.
From the standpoint of cheapness
and ease of application at least, this
is probably the best method to use in
fighting the dandelion.

Combating Dande1ions In Lawns.

Professor r. Kent Beattie, Botanist
at the State College and Experiment
Station, has prepared the following
statement as an answer to many re-
quests for Information as to how to
combat dandelions in lawns:
The common dandelion is on the in
crease as pest in the lawns of East
ern Washington. 1t is very difficult
plant to eradicate. It perpetuates
itself by large, feshy root which is
difficult to kill and this must be re-
moved before one can get rid of the
plant. A very common method is
to dig out as much of the root as
possible with long. heavy knife. or
with tool called spud, and then to
put few drops of coal oil on the cut
surface of the roots. In many cases
coal oil kills that part of the root

Bulb Growing in Washington

Comparatively few know Of the in
teresting experiments that are being
carried on at the Bulb Garden near
the town of BelIingham, Washington
under the direction of the Secretary
of Agriculture.
For years the United States has
been sending to Holland and European
countries many thousands Of dollars
annually or hyacinth, tulip, narcissus
and crocus bulbs. The purchase of
these bulbs had constantly increased
until the past year when over a million
dollars worth were imported.
In 1908 the Seer etary of Agriculture
decided to establish on the Pacific
Coast garden for the culture and
propagation of Holland bulbs and a
point on the Puget Sound, near the
town of Bellingham, was selected as
having suitable soil and climate for
this work. A tract of 10 acres was
leased through the Bellingham Board
of Trade and the necessary buildings
erected and turned over to the De-
partment of Agriculture for the pur-
pose of demonstrating whether or not
the Holland bulbs could be grown
successfully at that point.
The Department commenced work
at once and the same year planted
over ITO, 900 bulbs. From that time

industry on the Pacific Coast which
will keep home the large amount of
money now being sent abroad annually
for bulbs.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01


bulbs we're planted. The increase in
the number of bulbs has been very
gratifying; each bulb yielding the
maximum number of young ones
which have proven equal, if not
superior, to the results obtained in
Holland.
1t is believed that bulbs can be
grown on the Pacific Coast and of
quality that will compare favorably
with. and in many ways, surpass the
imported article, the cost of produo-
ton and marketing being now the
chief obstacles.
An effort is being made to overcome
the difference between the high price
of labor in America and the cheap
labor of Europe by inventing ap-
| planes to lessen the hand labor re-
quired in bulb production and the
substitution of horse power for many
of the operations performed entirely
by hand in Europe has reduced the
cost of production considerably. In
this way it is hoped that growers in
the United States will be able to COM
pete successfully with the European
bulb growers.
A serious drawback to the produc-
tion of Holland bulbs on the Coast is
the heavy expense of freight ship
ments across the continent. but when
shipment can be made by water, as
will be the case after the completion
of the Panama Canal, it should be
possible to deliver such bulbs at the
port of New York almost as cheaply
as they can be brought from Europe.
Furthermore, the demand for such
bulbs for planting on the Pacific Coast
is rapidly increasing.
| These experiments are solely for
the purpose of showing prospective
bulb growers what can be done in
growing these bulbs in the United
States. The gardens are always open
to the public and when the bulbs are
| in bloom thousands avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit the gardens
and enjoy the flowers. At that time
it is veritable little Holland.
Thousands upon thousands of hya-
cinths, tulips and narcissus in all
colors and nearly all in flower at once
can be seen.
| Careful records are being kept and
much valuable information is being
collected in connection with the bulb
experiments which will. eventually,
be at the disposal of anyone who may
wish to take up bulb growing.
Last year very interesting expert
ment was made on the trial grounds
of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington where test was made of
the bulbs that had been grown at Bell
ingham in comparison with those
grown in Holland. Fifty bulbs of the
same varieties of tulips we're planted
side by side and given the same treat
ment. Those from Bellingham open
! ed their flowers from seven to ten days
earlier than the Holland grown bulbs
were of better quality in size of flower
and in color and were remarkable for
the almost total absence of disease;
while the imported bulbs showed a
larger number of diseased plants ard
many of them failed to produce

Good Road Work

The discussion of good roads for
the past year or two in South Dako-
t a is beginning to bear fruit. All
over the state the work is being TAX
en- up more actively than ever be,
fore.
In Hand county a number of town
ships have purchased grading mach
ines. and are now engaged in long
delayed work.

suggestion to make the work
thorough on a single important road

Last year York twp. made one good

township in the center east and west.
Everybody within reach of that road
now uses it. This year they will

and later work all ether roads up to
these two main roads. This is ,sYs-
tematic work of the right kind.
And in grading a road, it should
be completed by a proper surface,
and not left in humps to be worn
down. A king drag or smoother of
some kind should be used to com
plete the oval so that the surface is
smooth for travel and sheds the
rain to side bitches.
The width Of grading recommend
ed by builders is twenty feet on each
side Of the center.
