Colonel Replies That His Personal
Representative Will Be Here
to Settle Things

response to appeals to him to settle
the differences between the progress
sive factions in Washington, today

sentative would be in Seattle Monday.
One wing OF the progressives. headed
by United States Senator Poindexter,
is opposed to nominating candidates
other than electors, and the other or

present congress. was adopted today
In the senate. Deserving their allies
Of the last two days, the republican
progressives, by an ironclad agree
ment with the regulars. succeeded in

regulars and the Bristow bill behind
which the progressives lined up.
1t would cut the present duty Of
$3.50 to $3.50; would abolish the
duties and standard under with vir-

HIGH SCHOOL MANUAL
ABOUT AGRICULTURE
Messrs. Busch and Gustin of North
Yakima Publish an Interest
ing Volume

A recent publication which ought tc
prove of great interest to Yakims
people is a manual of agriculture fol
high schools, being studies in soils
and crop productions. 1t is the work
of s. S. Busch. B. S., superintendent
of schools of Yakima county, and E
E. Gustin, graduate of the agricul-
tural course of the state college al
Pullman and superintendent of the
Lower Naches consolidated schools
The manual contains ninety-five pages
and an excellent lot of illustrations
and though designed for high school
use in the country. is filled with in
formation which must of necessity
prove to be of value to any farmer
who will attentively study 1t. The
criticism might be made that table
of contents would have made the pub
LEGATION more complete and given II
value as a reference book, but the OBJ
vious answer to this is that, as prev
iously stated the manual is for school
use and the students are expected to
be thoroughly conversant with it.
Leads Up to College Work
The work is prepared with special
reference to college studies along
lines of agriculture, and this is def
nitely so as indicated by the follow
ing announcement contained in the
manual: 1.-THE writer's believe that
the work in high school agriculture
should hold the same relation to coll
lege agriculture as exists in the case
Of the other high school sciences
botany, zoology, physics. chemistry
etc"
In the courses experiments and ex-
ercises provided for in the manual
provision is made for two years
course. In the first year soil studies
are paramount, moisture, loss of
water. heat, temperature, specific
gravity, sources Of plant food, nitro
gen Of soil and air and fertilizers and
food requirements being taken up in
considerable detail.
Course in Second Year
In the second year vegetable gard
cning is started with, following along
to plant study, the fruits, seeds and
weeds. irrigation, rotation and hand
ling of. the main crops, such as wheat,
oats. alfalfa, potatoes, etc. Generally
a great deal of ground is covered and
the manual will be of value to many
beside high school pupils.

DEMOCRATS SCORED
BY TEDDY OVER NAVY
Says When They Vote Down Bat
.tleships They Might a. Well
Z Is. Abandon Canal y.

OYSTER BAY, N. r., July 27.-An
attack on the democratic majority in
the house of representatives for re-
fusing to adopt the two battleships
program was made today by Colonel
Roosevelt. He declared the building
up of the navy must 80 on if this
country Is to maintain its position
among the nations of the world.
when the democrats vote down
the battleships," he said. IF they are
logical they also will vote to abandon
the Panama canal. It is an outrage,
from the standpoint of the national
honor and interest, to go on with the
Panama canal at all unless we both
fortify it and keep up an adequate
navy"
I The Colonel continued: 9ai0
"Any talk as to what we intend to
do about the Monroe Doctrine, the
Panama canal, the protection of
Hawaii or any other matter is not
merely offensive but contemplate If
we abandon building up the navy and
show that We have really neither the
power nor the will. If need should
ever come, to make our words goo
by deeds"
Colonel Roosevelt was told that
William ]. Bryan in his newspaper
had criticised him as a reeactionary
and Hamiltonian."
I'm mighty glad" said the Colonel,
smilingly. that Mr.. Bryan has heard
of Hamilton. 1t reminds me of a man
in Boston who was asked if he liked
to read the Bible. Like it?' he asked,
I should say do. There are not 10
men in Boston who could have writ
ten that book"
1.-THE voyage of our battleships
around the world was one of the
greatest moves for peace that this
country has ever made. / hope that
our people will always act not only
with scrupulous justice, but with the
utmost generosity toward all o.hef
nations, weak and strong.
II also hope that this will make It
evident that such action Is due not
to timidity on our part. but to genu-
Inc love of Justice We will become
impotent either to secure justice for
others or to secure respect for our
selves if We abandon the upbuilding
of the navy, for the minute we stop
building up the navy, the navy begins
to go backward"

Sheep men find the Chicago mar

the reasons Is that the eastern mar.

greater degree than does the western
and second is that the small local
lots offered at Seattle and Portland
keep down the price and thus make
the eastern shipments more desirable
to the owners. Though there Is q
considerable shrinkage in weight be-
cause of the longer eastern haul in
the mid-summer, the net results run
better. 1t was thought few years
ago that the eastern shipments had
