HOW TO RIPEN TOMATOES.
Artificial POllenation is Sometimes
Found Necessary.

Corvallis, Ore.-''A great deal of
trouble has been experienced in the
past in the ripening of the tomato
crop, said Prof. A. G. b. Bouquet,
vegetable garden expert of the O. A..
G., recently. "One of the greatest
drawback has been in the dropping
of blossoms in the early summer,
with a resultant meagre setting of
fruit. Instead, therefore, of having
ripe tomatoes the last of July and
middle of August, many vines do not
begin to set fruit early enough to
permit ripening before the fall. AS
result there is much loss either by
the cracking of the fruit by rains, or
frosted vines.
The makeup of the tomato flow
er is such as to make it necessary
to often pollenate the blossoms arti-
ficially The trouble of poor setting
of fruits is nothing more or less than
non-fertiliation of the female organs
of the flower. If this organ is not
properly pollenated, the flower will
fall, breaking off at the first joint

AohlhlO blODoOuO lGlldln open
several days, and pollenation can be
aided greatly by the gardener. On
bright, sunny days the pollen in the
Flower will scatter readily if the vine
is shaken or tapped with a stick or
lead pencil A high temperature,
such as that between 10 and 2
O'Clock, will cause the pollen to scat
ter much more freely and be caught
by the pistil, the female organ |
would suggest that some plants be
kept as checks and not shaken, to
compare results.
If pruning or stalking of the vines
is desired, the plants should be put
closer together in the row, two and
half or three feet. They should be
pruned to single stem by removing :
all the laterals at the axis of the
leaves They should be supported
with stake and cut off when six
feet high. Otherwise they should be
planted four feet apart in the garden
or field"

COLONEL TO FIGHT TO END.
''They Know Me and l Know Them"
He Declares Defiantly.

Oyster Bay N. Y.-Colonel Roose-
welt indicated recently the issue upon
which he is to make his campaign for
the presidency. He purposes to base
his appeal upon the assertion that
what he has termed the big sinister
Influences" have determined to elm
mate htm from public life because
he is the one man whom they really
fear. To accomplish this purpose, he
believes, they are willing to take up
any man whom they think can win
the presidency over him. Having de-
feated him at the Chicago conven-
tion, he says. they hope to control
the democratic convention to this
same end.
They know me and | know them, -
he said. 1T is anything to beat me-
l am fighting a lone hand and | am
going to fight it out to the end"
The eX-president made this remark
after long conference with William
A. Predergast, controller of the city
of New York. Mr. Prendergast came
to Oyster Bay to induce Colonel
Roosevelt to say definitely that un-
der no circumstances would he with
draw from the fight Regarding his
position in this respect, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
In the statement which | made in
Chicago on Monday, | said | would
stay in the fight to the end. Since
then ! have received hundreds of let
ters and kilograms urging me to go
on with it. and not one of them sug-
gested that get out of it. In every
case my reply is just what | said in
Chicago"
The controller said the reason he
was desirous of making it clear that
Colonel Roosevelt would make the
fight was that 'the interests" which
defeated him at Chicago would do
anything in their power to keep him
out of the White House, and for that
purpose would gladly accept any 9th
eT progressive. "
Controller Predergast said that he
has pointed out to Colonel Roosevelt
that the Overshadowing issue was
whether the nomination for the
presidency can be stolen and the peo.
pie not given an opportunity to pass
judgment on the theft"
The object for which this FRAUD
was perpetrated, he said, was tn,
defeat of Mr. Roosevelt, not the nomi
nation of anybody else. This conven
tion's piracy will be successful if an,
other man is elected to the presi
dency."

SALARY BILL WILL APPEAR.
Measure AboIishing Capital Punish
ment Meets Opposition.

Salem, Ore.-Advices have been
received here that circulators who
have been engaged in circulating a
bill to make the state printer flat
salary bill effective next year, have
succeeded in obtaining enough sigma
lures and that the petition will be
filed in time to insure the title of
the bill being placed on the ballot
Circulators of petitions asking for
the initiation of bill to abolish cap
ital punishment are bending every eff
fort according to reports received
here, to secure enough signatures
for petitions for this measure, and
they are now sanguine of success. So
difficult has been the work of OBJ
tanning signatures for this measure,
1t is declared. that it has become
necessary to put paid circulators in
the field.
The fate of the Blue Sky law, ac-
cording to reports received here, is
still in the balance. Corporation
Clerk Babcock has left here to take
the subject up with the commercial
bodies of Portland, and it is believed
that by hard labor possibly enough
signatures may be obtained to initi-
ate the measure.

Women Clerks Forbidden.

Women will not be permitted to
work as clerks or, in any other capac-
ity in saloons, cigar stands at saloon
entrances, or in pool rooms or other
places of similar character in Port
land, as the city council has passed
an ordinance forbidding it.
The ordinance is the result of re-
ports made to the mayor and council
by the department of public safety
for women. Mrs. Baldwin, the su-
perintendent, and her staff had told
the members of the council of the
evil influence of these places on
women and young girls.

you become bilious and constipated and
later the consequences are more seri-

ment Of Charles #. Murphy from the plat
form of tho Democratic State Convention

ears of those delegates who were able 70
appreciate II. There was much disordor
while the speech was being delivered. ana
no doubt there were followers or the
boss who would willingly have dragged
the Auburn man from the PLATFORM anu
thrown him out OF the hall, II only the
word had been given.
The speaker asserted that Thomas
Fortune Ryan was back OF Murphy, and
declared that the hour OF the boss was
about TO strike.
Alton 3. Parker, the permanent CHAIR
man, did what ne could TO preserve ORDER
and permitted Mr.. Osborne 10 have MS
say. Then Senator Robert +. Wagner.
one Of tie Tammany spokesmen, made q
sarcastic speech about Mr.. Osborne
which was In no sense a reply.
Previously Judge Parker, defending
himself against those who had opposed
his election as permanent chairman on the
ground that he was rcactionary, de-
clared In q voice filed with emotion:
Il am Progr essive Democrat
Under the circumstances In which II
was delivered this declaration Is likely
10 go down IN history along with the IA
nous declaration Of David B. hi many
years ago:
II am a Democrat"
Mr.. Osborne gained the opportunity OF
throwing his bomb into the convention by
Offering a minority report Of the commit
tee on resolutions. He said that 1t was
supported by other members OF the COM
mittee but he mentioned no other names.
Senator Wagner, chairman OF the COM
nittee on resolutions. had finished read
ing the long platform and motion had
been made for its adoption, when the
storrncloud In the form Of Mr.. Osborne
appeared on the horizon.

disappointed because, after organizing Il

mocracy two years ago, the bosses and
