judiciary, which could not be deferred
from doing its duty by any amount Of

urged the simplifying of the process

"Where judges become so blinded
by prejudice or class feeling that they
cannot fairly and impartially admin

ed. But the process of Impeachment
of judges is a cumbersome one. 1t
ought to be simplified so that charges
against judges may be tried by some
appropriate and workable machinery
as well as other grave and important
issues are tried.

FATTENs HOGS ON PRuNEs.
PaIouse Farmer Finds Orchard Pro-
duct Beneficial.

Palouse M. v. Ewing, a pioneer
farmer living eight miles west of Pa
louise, has 25-acre prune orchard
which he says has yielded big returns
for many years. In answer to sug-
gestions that it would pay to dig up
his orchard and plant the land to
wheat, he replied: eff none of the
crop was marketed the orchard would
pay if devoted entirely to hogs. Hogs
would not only thrive and grow well
on prunes after they begin to fall
from the trees, but they would fatten
on them alone without feeding a
pound of grain. 1t has been said that
hogs cannot be fattened on fruit, and
made the test last year. bought a
shoat that weighed less than 100
pounds in April, fed him on scraps
from the table until early apples be-
gan to fall, and continued to feed him
nothing but apples and other fruits

WlLLAPA AWAITS CANAL.
Harbor Prepares for Opening Of
Panama Ditch.


Raymond Willapa Harbor is pre-
pairing for the opening Of the Panama
canal to handle with safety and dis
patch her proportion of the expected
increase in water-borne traffic and
offers inducements for industrial en-
terprises.
A memorial has been sent to con-
gress praying for the further improve
ment of Willapa Harbor by deepening
the channel to depth of "a feet.
This depth is deemed imperative to
meet the needs of vessels that will be
engaged in traffic through the canal.
It was shown in this memorial that q
sufficient depth Of channel is needed to
permit shifting of vessels at any stage
of the tide, as the large lumber car
riers will find difficulty in obtaining
cargoes at any, one mill and will be
compelled to shift about from one
plant to another for complete cargoes.
This is not only true of Willapa Har-
Dor, it is pointed out, but is the same
in practically every Pacific Coast port.
