DOPING THE SOIL TO MAKE THE
FLOWERS THRIVE

Potassium permanganate, a che
mical that is commonly used as an
antiseptic or disinfectant, and may
be purchased at any drug store, is
found beneficial under certain condi-
tons in flower culture. If, for in
stance, the sweet peas do not thrive
the soil will often be benefited by
spraying or sprinkling with solution
consisting of one ounce of this che
mical to six ounces of water. The
potassium permanganate kills some
of the injurious organisms in the
soil, and is also especially effective
in killing the green fly which infests
rose bushes.
Care should be taken, however,
not to make the solution stronger
than the proport 'ons mentioned.

tration of public land laws designed

The American Mining Congress
has invited the governors of all the
arid states to be present at the meet
ings of the congress and to assist in
formulating policy with regard to
the public lands of the west which
will heve the united support Of the
western states. Governor John F.

this subject careful study both as a

In June 1906 the editor of this pap
er was on a train passing through the
Grand Ronde Valley in eastern Ore
gon, returning from a tour of the
Pacific coast and visit to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition when J. w Pow
| ell former resident of Lost River
Valley boarded the train and engaged
in conversation about the early days
of Lost River. We had been publish
ing some historical matter about the
valley and Champagne Flat, and he
said he would send us some data
after he got home. Some months
passed away and as nothing came we
decided that he had forgotten it. but
after period of seven and halt
years the mail man laid a packet of
letters on our desk among which was
the promised information, accompan-
led by little note relative to his pro-
mise on the train. He also said that
he would furnish some more when he
meet again and as we expect to at
tend the Panama-Pacific Exposition
in 1915, we may meet him then and
get the rest of the story.

He is the son of George Washington

Extract FROM SPEECH ON THE
RECALL OF JUDGES.

In speaking of the U. S. Supreme
Court, the Senator said: II have of
ten thought If there is a sacred spot
on the face of Gods footstool made
so by the institutions of man, it is
in front of the tribunal where pre-
sides the chief Justice of the United
States. There you may take the
poorest, the most unfortunate indiv-
idual in the land and he is heard,
sir as if he stood clothed with all the
influence which wealth and friends
could bestow. Though he stands
there with every mans hand against
him and every right denied, that tri-
bunal throws about him the guaran-
ties and protection of the Constitut-
ion, the fundamental law which the
people have made for the protection
of all, and he stands upon an equal
ity with every other man in the land.
Even though he is too impecunious
to file brief, with no less care will
those painstaking and overworked
and devoted men examine into and
determine his cause. And if in the
end judgement shall be rendered in
his favor, if need be the power of
this Union will enforce its terms.
Do we appreciate the worth of this
and the great underlying
principles which have made it what
1t is? Do we understand how this
government of ours without this
steadying, stable, immovable tribu-
nal of justice would 60 to pieces in
! decade? A decade, Mr.. President!
Rather should we say to all practical /
effects it would depart in a night"

CONCERNING BREAKFAST Foor

In view of the general and sub
stantial increase in the cost of
living it is obviously the plain duty
of everyone responsible for the pro-
visioning of the household to in
quire diligently into the actual food
value of certain food stuffs, which
are SO attra lively put up and ad-
vertised by their manufacturers. I'm
questionably there is at present an
enormous consumption of the So
called prepared ceral breakfast
foods which reach the consumer in
comparatively small cartons or con-
tainers. Commendable arguments
have been advanced in favor of the
ceral breakfast foods put up in this
way. In the main they center upon
such claims as: increased palatibil-
ity, insurance of non-contamination
on the way from the manufacturer
to the consumer, and ease of pre-
paration for the table. A simple
calculation at the time of purchase
will reveal the extra-vagant prices
often paid for single pound of the
particular ceral in question, parti-
cularly if it be remembered that the
man who produced the raw product
received for a like amount not to
exceed one and one half cents. The
consumer of the partly prepared, ex-
pensively cartoned and highly adver-
tised ceral breakfast foods may we'll
ask, "Am I getting my moneys
WORTH" The average consumer needs
to be reminded that in the preparat-
ion of the above mentioned classes of
foods the same cerals, viz. corn, oats,
and wheat are used as in the prepar-
alton of the more commonplace raw
meals which ordinarily can be secured
in much larger bulk and consequent
ly at a much lower price per pound.
When properly cooked these meals
are highly nutritious and palatable.
There is no really good reason why
they should not in the average fam
lily be given preference over the more
expensive cartoned article.

very bad, so it would not be safe fol
him to attempt trip to Idaho, much
as he regretted it. He referred to
the political situation and expressed
him self forcefully, adding that he
wanted his friends to know how he
felt with relation to the questions he
briefly discussed. The following ex-
tracts are taken from the communi-
cation:
"I have felt tempted to write an
open letter but it was SO difficult.
Some of our friends are in such am
biguous positions that it might seem
like an effort to strike blow at
long distance and I do not desire to
be charged with that. If I wrote or
if came out Ishould talk very plain
ly on the situation.

andoing their party and the party
that put them into office merly be-
cause of the passing maudlin senti-
ment of the hour.

organization openly and above board

of them he should be put between
