A letter has been received by the edi-
tor from Col. f. R. Place which indicates
that that enterprising gentleman is once
more bending his energies towards the
building of the road to Winnemucca.
The writer is we'll acquainted with the

1T is the gentleman referred to. On the

OF its influence are millions of tons of
ore, low grade and otherwise, that could
be marketed at profit if this road be-

Mr.. Place is now very optimistic re-

the road, which is already built to the
Snake River from Caldwell. We hope
to see the road built and we have a great
deal OF confidence in Mr.. Places ability
to finance and build it.

Miss sebern, a teacher Of the De Lamar
school, left on Saturday mornings stage
for few days stay in Boise.
The girls are talking OF giving a dance
for the purpose Of helping along the de-
Tense fund of the County Seat Retention

With willy old politician like Dave
Brumbaugh at the helm, and with such
able lieutenants as John Connors, VIM.

DIR. Heer went to De Lamar on Friday
to sound our neighbors there on the
county seat removal question. He found
the people of De Lamar unit in favor of
resisting any change at this time. Mr..
Lucius Gardner and Mrs Weston went
along and the trio secured l57 signatures
in few hours, the party returning the
same evening. The committee sent out
to discover the sentiment of the people Of
Silver City also did good work. This
committee consisted Of Henry Rood and
Andy Swan. They finished up the work
in less than day, securing 1853 signatures.
Thus, in the space Of a day and half 3l5
people signifed their intention to resist by
their vote any change in the location OF
the county seat this year.

CEMENT FEED FLOORS BEST
More Expensive Than Others, But Pay
for Difference in Comparative
ly Short Period.

The writer constructed floor 20x20
feet last September and has been u.s.
ing it almost constantly and with the
greatest satisfaction. Though 1t cost
about two weeks of hard labor and $15
in cash I almost feel that have re-
turn for my outlay both In labor and
cash already, says a writer in an ex-
SIS worth of feed and believe the ex-
ira labor IN carrying out corn, a
basket at a time, through the deep
mud to dry (muddy) spot through
all that bad weather would have al
most equaled the labor of building the
floor But more than this Is the sat
isfaction of feeding in this clean and
handy way, which can only be appre-
ciated by trying it.
Our floor was made right beside the
cribs, in what had been hog wallow.
Stones were gathered from the fields
and laid in the bottom. These were
covered and leveled by smaller stones
and coarse gravel, then a thick layer
Of concrete (eight parts Of gravel to
one Of cement), then the surface coat
Of four or five parts Of coarse sand to
one part Of cement, the concrete be-
ing forced to the bottom on all sides
to prevent rat invasion. After remov.
ing the board forms, posts were set
on three sides and the same wide
boards were nailed on the inside to the
posts, fitting down to the floor. Thus
tnclosed no feed is rooted Off the floor,
and the cobs and other waste need not
be cleaned off so often. With bins on
one or more sides all cobs and manure
can easily be scooped into the same
and saved. The floor should be slight
ly lower at one corner for drainage
While constructing our floor posts
were set in the middle, so we could di-
vide it for pigs and hogs, which makes
it very convenient, always having a
clean, dry, handy place to slop and
feed the pigs, and also a place to pen
them up quickly for any kind of treat.

Why the Change?

President Taft, who has stood
the abuse of his friend Teddy un-
til patience has ceased to be viz
tue, has made public letters re-
ceived from the ex-president before
his ambition was aroused by the
enemies of Taft and he entered the
field as an opponent for the repub-
lican presidential nomination. 1t is
amusing. Those who know about
the letters number them I, and
8 and they cover political policies,
two of which we're endorsed by
Roosevelt, but which he now con-
demns;
Letter No. I, from Roosevelt,
urges President-elect Taft to hook
up with Senator Cannon and
lick the insurgents and pro-
gressives. That seems to be the
one that made Representative
Gardner angry.
Letter No. 2 congratulates
President Taft on his advocacy OF
Canadian reciprocity. 1t confront
ed him by saying that it was the
right thing to do regardless OF
what the people thought. for he
(Roosevelt) believed they would
come around to Taft's way OF
thinking.
Letter No. 8 urges President
Taft to see Senator Lodge and get
him right on the Lorimer case. 1t
explained that Mr.. Taft was the
only man that could get Lodge to
vote against Lorimer. 1t was af-
ter this that Mr.. Taft got Senator
Root to speak against Lorimer.
What has influenced Roosevelt
to change his attitude toward the
president? Was he offended be-
cause Taft ordered suit institut-
ed against the steel and harvester
trusts? The same trusts are now
back Of Roosevelt and it is thought
furnishing the funds for his cam
paign.

Hiqh Time for d Change.

The party in this state which
will pledge itself to repeal the vi
cious income tax law, the IMAM
erican civil service law and the
perplexing and irritating primary
election law will carry the state
overwhelmingly. The people are
getting tired of burdensome taxa
ton and humbuggery, taxation to
keep an army of hirlings drawing
large salaries and travelling around
the state interfering in the business
affairs OF private individuals. So
called reform has cost the taXpay-
ers millions upon millions of dol
lars more than it should have I'M
der intelligent and economical ex-
penditures of public funds. 1t is
time for the voters to make a
change and return to honest and
sensible methods of administration
as obtained before the people were
carried away by the claims of dem
agogues who have been the only
ones benefited by the change.
Stop and think of the great reform
bell-wether, who, drawing a salary
of $625 per month from the gov
eminent for services supposed to
be rendered to the people in the
senate, has not been in his seat to
exceed two weeks since congress
convened the first of last Deem
Der; travelling over the country
with an idea that he is presiden-
tial candidate of any old party that
might nominate him. A sort of a
presidential peewee,

may fool them, and it is not in
good taste for papers which have
heretofore been strongly tinctured
with the insurgent virus, to make
light of the man who is largely re-
sponsible for the insurgent non
sense and who has been sidetrack-
ed by the greatest political char
latan of the age, whose nominal
ton and election would be the
greatest misfortune that ever be-

ton of the esteemed editor of the
Milwaukee Journa! is called to a
few recent political events. The
first statesman" to be turned
down was Beveridge of Indiana,
and democrat sent to the United
States senate to succeed him. Then
Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, was
thrown into the political discard
by the people of his state at the re-
cent primary election in that state
and then republicans in conven-
ton told Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa, that he could not have the
delegates to the national conven-
ton. The people are getting good
and tired of the demagogues, who,
to advance their political fortunes,
have been preaching discord, dis
content and class hatred and are
retiring them to private life. Just
watch Wisconsin at the next gener-
al election and see how the farmers
vote-for they are becoming dis
gusted with high taxes and the con-
ditions brought about by the dem
agogues who do nothing to lift the
burdens of the people.

Too Much Nonsense.

The Milwaukee Journal, which is
near-Socialist, bemoans the fact
that voters do not vote on impor-
tant questions submitted for their
rejection or approval, and yet, it
would give us the initiative, refer
endum and possibly the recall, in
face of the fact that at the last
general election in this state, only
48 per cent. of the votes cast were
cast for or against the three acts of
the Legislature submitted to the
electors for their approval or re-
lection. The ballots have become
so perplexing that more than half
of the voters become disguised be-
fore getting down to special mat
tiers and fail to pay any attention
to them.
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1912-05-03

It begins to look as if Wall
street was putting up the money
for Roosevelt in order to defeat
Taft, who has shown a disposition
to enforce the laws against trusts
and monopolies. 1t will make no
difference however who the reEub-
licans nominate, for if one half
that Roosevelt and Taft have said
about each other is true, the demo
Gratis have all the political amini-
ton they will need for the next
campaign. They have destroyed
any chance their party might have
had.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Senator Jonath an Bourne of Ore
gon, has had a sad awakening. He
has been the apostle of extreme
radical political politics in his state
and waltzed around thinking him
self the great mogul of nonsense,
has been repudiated by the voters
of his state at primary election
which he was instrumental in Sc
curing in that state of political ex-
periments. The voters in the Or
chard state evidently have had
enough of demagogues and flap
doodle statesmen and thrown
Bourne into the political discard.
1t is only the beginning for the dis
appearance of such men in other
states.

Excellent Type.

she will, barring the ravages of black
head disease, raise so per cent. of
them. If she Is allowed to roam she
may raise as many, but it will de-
pend largely upon their fortuitous
escape from water, cold and animal
foes. Their survival may also de-
pend upon the individual character
istics of the hen as a brooder, and
upon the care which she receives.
Poults improperly brooded during
the first week begin to die in the
second. They seem at this early
age particularly subject to lung and
abdominal troubles. Overheating and
chilling, and rapid changes from hot
to cool conditions, affect them fatally.
The connection between the lungs and
the abdominal air sacs is such that
both are affected by colds. One of
the most common results of these in
Examinations is a suspension Of eating
followed by the absence of ingesta in
the intestine. The consequence of
this is that the white material ex-
creted by the kidneys becomes more
apparent, and gives rise to the symp-
tom called white diarrhea. While this
Inflammation may or may not be due
to specific germ, the disease is so
readily prevented by proper temper
ature conditions during the first three
weeks of the pouh's life that 1t mat
tiers little whether it is a germ disease
or not. The disease is on the same
basis as pneumonia in human beings,
since germs in that case may cause
the disease, but they seem to get their
first foothold by inflammations pro-
duced in the tissues as a result Of
changes of temperature.
