LEGISLATION by Caucus.

-. Observation-Disclosures.

A great question that has been loom
ing high before the American CON
gress for several years concerns eau
Gus control of legislation. The secret
caucus has been entirely done away
with by the minority Republican and
Progressive parties. Perhaps rea-
son is that the caucus system in mi
nority party does not reach the desir-
ed aim that can be secured in the ma
jority, and therefore the minorities
can well afford to be reformers. This
is shown by the fact that when the Re
publicans were in POWER the objection
against the caucus came from the
Democratic side. Presto, change-the
condition is exactly reversed
In the caucus the solid ranks pre-
scented in the Democratic house in all
matters of importance have been ar
ranged, for in their caucuses all diff
ferences are adjusted as illustrated by
the agreements upon the tariff and
currency bills of the present session.
The severe test of supporting the eau
Gus has been reached in the senate
and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
has been the first to jump the traces.
He upset the Democratic calculations
in reference to the income tax so bad
ly that the question was re-referred to
the finance committee, and a higher
tax on large incomes was agreed to.
Mr.. Hitchcock declared it to be "a
mistake to endeavor in Democratic
caucus to bind the individual to de-
tails"
Senator Norris, his Republican COL
league, publicly congratulated Mr..
Hitchcock upon his stand, and Senator
Bristow pointed out that in the rule
controlling the proceedings of the cau-
Gus that IS senator's compose quorum
and that IA senators would compose -
majority In such caucus, and that
an agreement of the IA would bind the
majority and thereby IA members
could rule the senate. Senators
Works, Cummins and Borah also dis
cussed Mr.. Hitchcock's revolt, and COLI
graduated him upon his courage. Mr..
Lane Of Oregon declared that he vas
getting a little tired of these lee
lures" Meanwhile the institution of
the caucus is too valuable to dispense
with.

DITCHINa TO PREVENT WASHING OF SOIL
chiefly through the peculiarly potent
titles exist in the soil and pass thence
into the plants and animals. and the
vital energy of organisms, like that of
soil, is maintained largely by the cir
culation Of their fluid portions. which
consist chiefly Of water. In most AMI
NAL genera the circulation is fairly
uniform throughout life. Among most
kinds Of plants it varies widely with
the season. while in soil the circula-
ton depends largely on climate and
season, especially as these are related
to plant growth. Other things equal.
the internal work or functioning of
soil is determined by its capacity for
conserving water and conveying 1t to
growing plants.
The fresh water entering soil Is de-
rived from rain or melting snow ell
Their directly or through overflow or
underfiow by irrigation or otherwise.
The water within the soil may be or
may not be efficient in circulation or
in soil functioning. according to its
quantity In relation to the soil texture.
for with its quantity its condition may
be said to vary from. first, static to.
second, dynamic-that is. 1t may be
either inert or active.
The full capacity Of given soil for
water ranges with its texture or porOs-
ity from some 80 per cent to over 30
per cent Of its volume. This may be
denoted the water Of saturatiOn. 1t

Three Masted Schooner Loading

The three-masted schooner Fred r
Sanders, now loading 100000 feet of
lumber at the Buchanan mills for San
Diego, Cal, has the reputation among
deep-sea sailors of being one of the
fasterst, If not the fastest, sailing
freighters afoat The Sanders has the
longest gaffs of any sailing vessel of
her dimensions on either the Atlantic
or Pacific oceans and First Mate Will
Sullivan gives it as his opinion that
the vessel is enabled to carry her enor-
nous spread of canvas because her
lines are along those of yacht. This
sailing vessel, now plying regularly
between San Diego and Olympia. has

She was built by F. O. Scott at Eagle
Harbor 81 years ago.
local interest is given to the pres
ent and future visits of the Sanders to
this port by reason of the fact that her
master, Capt. George Ekron, is in a
way an Olympia man in that he is the
son-in-law of DR.. A. b. Woodland, who
was known in Olympia's early days as
one of the city's most earnest and pro-
gressive citizens. Dr. Woodland was
one of the original owners of the
Westside mill that has lived through
all kinds of ups and downs to become
the property of the McClearys to be
renovated and put in better shape
than ever to turn out finished lumber.

ders. was with Rex Beach's party

TNIIE experience of the farm In
every country and age has
shown that the fruitfulness of
soil depends on adequate water
supply: no water, no crops, no animals.
no human lite-indeed. no soil
Soil is of three parts-one solid, an
other fluid and the third gaseous. The
solid part consists of mineral and or
ganic matter in fragmentary or granu-
lar condition. 1t forms the stable
body of the soil The fluid part is a
solution consisting of water carrying
mineral and organic matter 1t forms
the circulatory medium of soil and
plants. The gaseous part consists OF
air nitrogen and OXYGEN mixed with
aqueous vapor. carbon dioXide, hydro
gen dioXide. etc. 1t permeates the body
of the soil. moving with the movement
Of the circulatory fluid. changes in TEN
perature and barometric pressure, etc
The three parts are conveniently
known as soil body. soil fluid and soil
gas.
Much Of the substance of plants is
taken directly and that of animals in
directly from the soil. and soil grows
largely through the return of sub
stances from plants and animals In
more highly differentiated or richer
form. and the chief source Of vital en-
ergy in soil expressed by its own func-
tioning and measured by its fertility
is derived from the growth and decay
Of plants and animals. Thus potash
and nitrates are elaborated and con-
centrated by plants and phosphates by
animals and returned to the soil. which
is thereby enriched and rendered more
effective in sustaining both plants and
animals.
While the interdependence of soil
and organisms extends to all the ma
terials and powers Of both. it operates

II have placed the Shelton at the
head of this group because it fairly

not extremely handsome, but the quail
ity is hardly surpassed by any pear
yet produced. The tree grows very
erect and tall, and is rather brittle.
The Shelton bears very heavy crops in
its prime, but will sometimes miss

very large. and loaded with fruit reg
ularly. 1t Is called the standard Of
excellence among pears. 1t is not

Democrats in the senate.
tnlls Nrr Grand Larceny.
In speaking of the reported unrre-
parcduoss of the United States for
war, Vice President Marshall com
meutrd that it is his belief that if our
country Keeps out of the game OF
grand larceny there need be no fear
Of trouble with other nations. Senator
Thomas of Colorado says that IF war
comes the nation will ultimately rise
to the needs of the OCCASION Senator
Reed OF Missouri declares that the
country could put five million fighting
men in the field if necessary. Senator
Kenyon of Iowa asserts that he be
licvcs in maintaining powerful navy
as a means of oftense and defense. He
thinks also that we should encourage
in all ways the national organizations.
He asks: What is the use of talking
about the Monroe doctrine unless you
are prepared to back it up?"
Selling Government Publications..
During the lobby investigation in
the house a new feature of activity
among congressman was brought out.
hnt ha mi e
government publications an equal dis
tribution of documents is made to all
members. The city representatives
find they have no use for agricultural
year books and the like and desire
other classes of documents. They have
been shown way through the activity
of private individuals whereby they
trade documents back and forth, there
by receiving the books they particu
larry desire for their constituents. The
pubic document merchant evidently
has been doing first rate through his
transactions. The tempest in a teapot
over the alleged discovery may mean
better business for the public docu
ment merchants.
Phenomenal Success of the Parcel Post.
A year ago petitions against the par
eel post were coming into Washington
by the wholesale. For several years a
thoroughly organized movement
against this reform brought the sigma
lures of hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie throughout the country, who saw
ruin in the Inauguration of such sys-
tenn. Now the same country mer-
chants and tradesmen of small towns
who were the principal directors are
finding no difficulty in increasing their
business by utilizing the better trans
portation facilities afforded through
the postoffice, and instead of the mail
order houses taking all their business,
they are reporting to Washington that
they are being greatly benefited. The
express companies who for many
years have maintained a sullen silence
are at last loudly protesting, and claim
that it is almost impossible for them
to continue their business
Benzine wagons certainly do go
some, not only in speed, but in dol
lars. To say nothing of the domestic
business and automobiles, it is inter-
esting to know that the imports of au-
tomobiles and parts sent out of the
United States during the past year
exceeded $40,O0O,000.
