TRACY'S SEED FARM
LOOKS FINE

]. A. w. Tracy of Washington
D. c., who handles seeds for the
government, was a visitor at the
home of his brother, w. w. Tracy
of Big Bear ridge. In conversation
with him heS informed the Gazette
reporter that he was on a return
trip from California where he visited
the great seed farm of that state and
that the seed crops were practically
q failure this year. and the seed
growers were looking for new loca-
tons and that they were talking of
coming to this vicinity. They have
been convinced that the Potlatch is
an excellent place to grow all kinds
of seeds. judging from the output by
w. w. Tracy. The Tracy seed
farm is this season producing a good
yield of all kinds of seeds. = 1t is
worth ones time to 60 and see. this
seed ranch. for there you will find
most anything growing. Mr.. Tracy
has just finished harvesting his Tur.
nip seeds. Among other flower anc
garden products, is a ten acre fielc
of Candytuft. It is now in full
bloom and is very beautiful.

good shape and good yield is ex-
pected. Some crops were thought
to be short this season on account of
the lateness of spring. but the
amount of grain is there. The bean
crop looks good and big yield is
expected. .

Lewiston Tribune: - John Laut-

creamery station for the Washing
ton Agricultural college. reports in
creased shipments for every month
since the shipments were COM
menced. Last months report shows
that about two tons of cream were
shipped from this point. This
months business is expected to be
increased by at least another ton.
The, farmers seem to be taking to
the dairy business with considerable
interest. which is said to account for
the large increase Of acreage that
has been put into alfalfa and clover
this year.

More good substantial road work
has been done in the Potlach coun-
try this year than in any five pre-
vious years put together, and from
the interest being shown. the coun-
try is entering on an era of better
road building in earnest. The Ce-
dar Creek road has been put in fine
shape and partly rebuilt at cost of
about 5000. while the Bear Creek
road has been worked until it is in
better shape than for years. The
city council has met the work on
the roads that lead to the town lin
its with the general improvement Of
all its roads, until the whole country
is enjoying the best kind of travel to
Kendrick. This road movement has
led the. citizens to believe that this
work can be still carried forward on
a more substantial basis by securing
q rock crusher and roller that is
owned by the county and locate in
this section, where material is plen-
ty and easy to get.

HUGE SANNAR|UM
TO Be At LAPNA|

Lewiston, Idaho, July u Special
Uncle Sam plans to develop at
Lapwai the most modern sanitarium
for the cure of tuberculosis among
Indian children in the United States.
In fact, it will be the only institution
of its kind in the world, and esti-
mate is made that when the plant is
completed. the outlay will involve
an expenditure probably reaching
quarter of a million dollars. 1t is
further learned that the government
is now working definitely on that
plan, although it will likely take
two or three years to complete the
plant.
The step taken that has resulted
in the plans becoming public was
the placing of DR.. J. N. Alley di-
rectly in charge of the sanitarium
and school and the grounds relating
thereto. while Theodore Sharpe, In
dian agent, will now confine his
work directly to the handling of the
Indian tribal affairs. The sanitar-
ium and school thus pass beyond
the function of a strictly Nez Perce
Indian tribal matter and become a
national institution, the patients
now there representing 20 tribes
and coming from all sections of the
United States.
The important decision reached
by the government has resulted from
the success following the establish
ment of the sanitarium last year.
DR.. Alley has been with the Nez
Perce tribe for II years. his work
there affording him opportunity to
make a special study of tubercu-
losis while he is an accomplished
physician along other lines. The
success in handling the patients sent
to Lapwai and the ideal climatic
conditions and surroundings. it now
appears have resulted in making
that point the seat of the leading in
stitution of it's kind in the United
States. AT this time SIS, 600 worth
of new equipment is enroute from
the east to be added to the plant,
and buildings are to be enlarged and
work generally inaugurated in bring
ing the institution up to the high
standard contemplated by the gov
eminent. ,gt

THE TERRIBLE ROLLER"

Among the many dangers which
those who go down TO the sea in
ships have to encounter must be
reckoned that strange phenomenon
known as 1.-THE rollers" a success
sion of immense waves which iE
certain localtis set in upon a coast
without the least previous indica-
tion, rendering the use of boats
impossible or. at the best. highly
dangerous. The places where they
chiefly occur are in the fine weather
trade-wind regions of the South
Atlantic and South Pacific, being
markedly felt at exposed islands
such as Ascension and St. Helena in
the former ocean. and in the latter
at the Chinchas, Lobos and other
islands off the coast of Peru.
The sea may be of perfect
smoothness, the breeze for days
previously the faintest zephyr,
when suddenly huge wave
appears rolling landward, at first
quite leisurely, until il reaches any
solid mass of reef, rock, or sho, e.
when as If reused to anger at the
obstruction, the hitherto lazy
undulation becomes a sharp ridge,
filings its crest high in the air
bursts upon the shore with
tremendous fury. This wave is
quickly followed by others, and
the rollers set in, ever augmenting
in violence, until they attain an
awful grandeur not to be exceeded
in the widest storm. A visit Of
the rollers may last from five to
six hours to two or three days, and
strange feature lie that they
come from leeward, in a widely
different direction to the usual
wind Of the locality.-Wide World

Or. WILEY RESIGNS

Damned with FAINT praise from
the nationals chief executive,
hampered by reactionary depart
mental chief, who has long since
outlived his usefulness. badgered
by a pe,tifogging lawyer of the
night-scEool variety who, as a
representative of the vicious inter
ests, was able to nullify or render
abortive efforts made in the inter-
est Of public health. DR.. Wiley has
given up the unequal fight and
handed ia his reigamtiOn. Thus
rctlres from the government
service one of the most useful
officials this country has ever had.
An implacable foe of fraud and
deceit, DR.. Wiley has for years
stood between a more or less help
less public and the vested interests
that have developed TO science
the business of adulterating foods,
sophisticating drugs thus in many
ways threatening the public
health. On every debatable ques-
tion regarding the wholesomeuess
Of food stuffs. DR.. Wiley was
consistently on the side of the
people; his superior officers has
been just as persistCntly on the
side of those who have made their
millions by substituting cheap and
often poisonous drugs for more
expensive but wholesome foods.
AssailTd from without by some of
the most powerful vicious and
corrupt of organizations, he was
also antagonized from within by
the pulitical henchman of the same
organizations. To DR. Wiley more
than to any other ore man, says
The journal of the American
Medical Association. the public
owes the Food and Dmgs Act ard
to DR. Wiley it also owes whatever
of good has been accomplished by
that act. 1t is to be hoped that
this forced retirement will result
in such an upheaval Of public
Indignation that the forces of evil
at present in control of the De-
partment of Agriculture will be
driven into political oblivion and
thl department filled by men who
hold decency above dollars,
probity above pelf and public
health above private gain.

WHO PUTS UP THE COIN

A Washington dispatch of the
9th says:
fhc Roosevelt campaign manag-
ers are not handicapped by lack
of funds. They have all the money

The Roosevelt campaign head
quarters in Washington today
employ l60 people. officials. clerks.
stenographers and messengers.
Roosevelt headquarters work "a
hours day, employing three shifts
and activity never ceases. There
are more people employed at the
Roosevelt headquarters than are
employed by all the other cam
paign managers in Washington.
The Roosevelt headquarters are
larger than the combined Taft,
Wilson. Underwood, La Toilette
and Harmon forces, and they
spend money much more lavishly
than any of the others.
Who pays the bill? Roosevelt is
not paying for all this out OF his
own pocket; he would go broke
attempting such thing. Yet the
Roosevelt managers are spending
money like water. Rich men must

MITIGATION TERMS

An offensive act seems worse if
we call it by its right name; there
fore there is a tendency to soften
down the feelings which the wrong
act may produce by using some
other term.
A man who steals prefers to be
called "defaulter" rather than a
"tbiet." Nowadays people do not
steal they appropriate" the
property of others.
If woman goes into a dry
goods store and snatches up some
articles to take away she is the
victim of "kleptomania" and not
thief; especially is this true il
she is fashionably connected.

TUNNEL|NG UNDER RIVERS

There are now many great rivers
with tunnels under them. Even
when one is sunk to such a depth
and carried so far along as the
one under the Hudson at Storm
King for the new aqueduct il
eXcites only moments wonder.
Such tunnels are generally driven
under the water on the same plan
and that plan was taught to an
engineer by worm. The first
attempt to make a tunnel under a
river of any size was the Thames
tunnel in London, which was built
by the famous engineer Brunei.
He had so much trouble with the
water that oozccd through that he
came near giving up the job as
impossible when he happened to
see "a piece Of rotten wood into
which a worm had bored under
water.
As the worm ate it's way into
the wood it left deposit like
lime all around the hole and this
got quite hard and water proof
so that the worm could always get
out the way it came, and the hole
remained true and firm.
Bunel did the same thing. He
made large steel tubes and pushed
them into the earth and then he
forced cement in between the tube
and the wet ground about it, so
that it set as hard as a rock. All
tunnels under water are built on
the same plan now.

LIVING CORPSE
PUZZLES DOCTORS

A Living corpse" is what coa-
fronts the medical authorities of
lkaterinoslay, Russia. Since
March OF last year a Russian
named Moissejenko has been in a
lethargic sleep. The man was
charged with train robbery and
murdrr. When he learned that his
mistress had betrayed him, his
fear of the death penalty became
50 intense that he dropped un-
conscious and all efforts during
the many months have failed to
rouse him. To all appearances he
is dead. The movement of the
heart is barely discernible. Dur
ing ali this time he has been fed
through tube. He seems TO hear
everything that goes on about him,
but needles. not irons or electric
shocks have no effect upon him.

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL

The cost of maintaining the
county hospital is a severe drain
upon the county treasury. Last
month the hospital cost the tax
payers in The neighborhood of
$500. Counting the hospital
account for March at $500 would
give an average of 80 patients
for every day of the month, rather
a large number TO be supported at
the county's expense. Some of
them doubtless belong to that class
that squunder their means when
well and when sickness comes and
they need medical care they get d
permit to the hospital and live off
the Industrious people of the
county. No one complains about
the cost of supporting old, broken
down men and women, but there is
a just complaint from the tax
payers about being compelled to
support lot of worthless young
men. If the commissioners could
devise some way to make this class
of patients pay back to the county
the money they have cost the
taxpayers, the cost of maintaining
the hospital might be reduced.
When a young man who spends
has money in dissipation goes to
the hospital with money in his
pocket, the steward should be
authorized 10 take every cent of il
and pay it into the county treasury
to be held until the patient is
discharged. Then the amount
hould be credited to his hospital
account, and the balance if any,
paid to him.
Should there be a balance due
the county there seems to be no
way by which it can be collected.
1t might, however, be impressed
upon him that unless the balance
due the county for caring for him
was paid that he would be refused
admission the second time. That
might bring some of them to their
senses and they might pay.
The question is a difficult one to
solve and if the county commits
sioners can devise a plan that will
protect the county treasury and
the worthy poor and make the
younger class Of patients pay their
bills they will have the sincere
thanks of the taxpayers.
