An Invitation to Anarchy

Commenting on Roosevelt's
speech, the New York World (Dem.
says: "'It is another way of saying
that the power Of the majority
ought always to be absolute and
that the minority has no rights
which it is bound to respect. It is
transp!anting into America the the
ory on which the South American
republics administer their turbulent
affairs. It is Roosevelt's formal in
vitation to revolution and anarchy" +"
The New York Times also scores
the former president. 1t says:
"Roosevelt's address removes him
from the Republican party and
makes it impossible to nominate
him. From beginning to end there
is not single Republican doctrine
or expression of faith in the
speech, but there is throughout a
bold and defiant remuneration of the
principles of that party. Roosevelt
foreswears allegiance to the party
which made him president7and takes
the field as it's enemy and destroy
err
Colonel Roosevelt is too radical, :"
declares former Governor j N. Gil
lette, of California. His advocacy
of a plan to review decisions of the
higher courts Of the land is the
craziest proposition / ever heard
It's anarchy"

Ditching With Dynamite

The latest method of ditchinp
that is attracting attention wherev-
er swamp land exists, is ditching
with dynamite. This method is
marvelously simple and efficient in
wet or damp ground.
All that is necessary to do is to de-
tremine on the location of the ditch
and the width and depth. Holes
are then punched at intervals of
about two feet along the course of
the center Of the ditch with a crow
bar about il inches in diameter.
In each of these holes a 14x8-inch
cartridge of 60 per cent. dynamite
is dropped and tamped in with
some of the mud. A row of these
cartridges is made $50 or 200 feet
long and only the center cartridge
is primed with fuse and blasting
cap. This fuse is ligrted and the
operator retreats to distance of
200 feet or more. In moment
there is an explosion and sheet of
mud is thrown 200 or 800 feet in
to the air for the entire length
charged with dynamite, and behold
there is ditch already for the pas
sage of the water. The dirt exca-
waited is scattered over the adjacent
land. so that there is nothing to re-
shovel.
The whole 100 or 200 feet is ex-
cavated in single instant. and the
first time the water goes through,
the banks of the ditch are all wash
ed to a true line.
When an extra wide ditch is de-
sired. two parallel rows of cartridges
are used, and the depth of the ditch
is regulated by the depth of the
charge. This method of blasting
where only the center cartridge is
primed is possible only in damp and
compact soil.

Testing Cows For
tuberculosis

Dr.. c. ]. Sandwith, veterinarian.
has applied the tuberculin test to :
number OF cows in this county, the
latest being that of Gene G.. Gould.
which was treated the first Of the
week and found to be free from
any trace Of tuberculnus disease.
DR.. Sandwith says that there
seems to be less tuberculosis in cat
tie in Western Washington than
there is on the east side. In Spo5
kane county, for instance, so many
herds have been found to he infect
ed that in the city of Spokane an
ordinance has been enacted. and
it is said to be strictly enforced.
which prohibits the sale of milk
within the city limits that has not
been tested and found to be pure.
On some farms the farmers and
members of their families and all
the live stock, including poultry.
have been found to be infected.
A law passed by the last legisla-
ture provides for the free testing of
cows by the state veterinarian, or
one of his deputies, where the test
can be applied to herds of ten or
more at a time. The bill as intro
duced, and as it was actively sup
ported by Senator Troy. of this dis
trict. chairman of the committee on
agriculture and dairying, provided
for the condemnation and killing of
all animals founi to be infected
with tuberculosis and for the pay
ment to the owners of $50 per head
for all such animals. but this provi-
sion Of the bill was defeated. DR..
SaDdwith thinks it will only be
question of a little time, perhaps
not more than year or two. when
such law will be enacted and the
testing of dairy herds will be made
compulsory. Under the present
law DR.. CapIon made application
some time ago to have the cows of
his dairy farms tested, but the test
hs not yet been orderea. The
state veterinarian is considerably
hanipered in his work by lack of
funds. only $4,000 having been APP
propriated for inspection. ETC.. for
two years.

Dried Shrimp Project
Still in Abeyance

Capt. Bert Hale says that the pro-
ject to dry shrimps here for the
Chinese market, as well as for ship
ment to San Francisco, is still in
abeyance, awaiting the decision Of
Seattle Cinnamon who talk of go
ing into the business, as to wheth-
el they will pay the price for shrimp
which the shrimpers say they must
have. 1t is only the small shrimp.
which are not marketable for the
hotel and restaurant trade, that
the Chinese use for drying. Hith-
erto their principal ource of sup
ply has been in the shallow waters
about the head Of San Francisco
bay, where the shrimp are causht
in hand nets, no steamers. launch
es or dredges being required. But
the beds there are so depleted
that a closed season of several
years has been established which
forces the Cinnamon to look else
where for a supply. They only
offer one cent pound for the kind
of shrimp they want. Puget Sound
shrimpers say that there is moth
ing in it" at that price. They are
willing to contract at two cents
but not for less. 1t requires about
eight pounds OF fresh shrimp to
make one pound of the dried pro-
duct, which is said to retail at fifty
cents pound in San Francisco.
In this county the only shrimp
beds thus far found profitable are
in Harney channel near Orcas. and
in Upright channel, off Flat point
and the Devils Nose. There is q
more extensive bed near Anacortes.
but the expense Of operating there
is higher than it is here on account
of rough bottom and dockage char
ces at Anacortes. The best shrimp.
much larger than the ones casght
in this locality, are obtained in
Hoods canal, but they are not near
" as plentiful as they we're few
years ago.

Visual Test for Pilots

The present holders Of masters
and pilots licenses Under the cam
boat inspection service will be exam
ined for renewal of licenses under
the old rules. They will not be re-
quired to undergo the visual test
according to the rule adopted by
the department of commerce and
labor, but, as under the old rule,
will be tested only for color blind
ness.
A new applicant. however. will
have to undergo the visual test.
which is regarded as very severe in
examination for master and pilot
licenses. The fight against The Wis
ual test was made before the inspec-
tors principally by one-eyed pilots.
of whom there are many in the Uni
ted States. The visual test requires
the candidate to show visual power

man with one eye cannot measure
