Lad Who Stole Girls Pocketbook
 Faces Another Serious Charge

When Eugene Sparks faced Judge Thomas in police cou.t yesterday aft ernoon ne expected to enter a de fense against some minor charge that would hardly be proven. No more surprised mortal ever answered to his name in the Phoenix police court than Sparks when he was charged with carrying concealed weapons, on the strength of being found in pos session of a set of bldSS knuckleS
 Originally Sparks had been arrested on the complaint of a young girl who said that after escorting her home from a place of amusement an even ing or two previously, he had dis appeared taking with him her pocket book containing a sum of money. It was ascertained that this was not the first occasion upon which Sparks was suspected of a similar offense.
 When it came to bringing the ac ton in court. out of consideration to the young woman involved it was decided not to press the charge of stealing her pocket5ook. but to place the other charge of carrying con oealed deadly weapons against him. Upon the testimony of Policeman Wnkerson. who made the arrest of Sparks and who found him in pos session of the brass knuckles Judge Thomas imposed d fine of fifty dol lars or fifty days in the city jail.

THIS SHOULD BECOME A LAW.

One of the most important bills
which has been introduced in the
legislature is that of Senator Troy.
If this bill becomes a law dozen or
more comm issions relating to agrl-
culture matters will all be CONSOLIDATE
ed under one department, to be known
as the Commission of Agriculture. -
Governor Lister, in his inaugural
address. recommended this and SEN
ator Troy, being a practical farmer
himself, was an ideal man to draft
such a measure. We believe it would
work an immense benefit to the farm
ing interests of the state, providing,
Of course, the commission was com
posed of men who are practical far
mers, and broad gauge enough to re-
feet honor on so important part of
the states development.
Another important bill is by Repre-
sentative Lumm This is to create a
department of Farm Development.
It is proposed that the farm develop
ment be placed under a bureau of
farm experts. Under this proposed
plan each county would have the
services of an expert to be paid by
the county, and selected by the
County Commissioners with the ap-
proval of the head of the bureau 1t
is understood that il such a law is
passed the government will take an
active interest in it and pay half the
expenses. Several of the counties Of
Oregon are already working this plan
with great success.

The agitation for better credit for
farmers has reached President Taft,
and he recommends to congress a
National Farm Loan Bureau. This
is to be managed by the government
and long time loans made to ac ual
tillers of the soil at 4 p per cent. in
terest. 1t is proposed to loan up to
60 per cent. Of the value of the land.
A commissioner is to be in charge to
draw $4,000 90 year salary and an as
sistant at 100000. A bill represent
ing President Taft's view was in
trduced by Representative Bathrick.
This bill has many good features
but so far as the average borrower is
concerned has one fatal defect This
is that no man can borrow on his
farm unless one half of it at least, is
under cultivation. This should be
eliminated. To man starting farm
in timber county. especially in the
Pacific Northwest he could get no
benefit of this law for the reason that
if he could not borrow until half OF
his land was in cultivation he could
not borrow at all as nine tenths OF
the of the farmers need the money for
clearing. They do not need money
after the clearing is done because the

The necessity for lining the soil
of Western Washington has been grow
ing apparent for many years. The
heavy rains of this section for CEN
turtles past has leached out the lime
and left great quantity of the land
somewhat sour and most lands of
Western Washington respond quickly
to the sweeling effect of the lime. 1t
has been unfortunate that not a great
deal of limestone has been found in
the Pacific Northwest. Nearly all
that has been found are some mines
on the islands of Puget Sound, and
now a new method is being tried out
for cheap supply of lime. This is
by saving the old clam beds of the
Puget Sound Basin. There are many
places where there are acres OF clam
shells, made up mostly Of lime, and
it is now proposed to scoop these out
and after grinding them apply them
to the land. If it can be done cheap
enough it has great possibilities.

The success of the parcels post
system is most surprising. A report
of the Postmaster General shows
that during the month of January,
the first month it was put in practice,
10, 365, 433 parcels we're handled by the
department in the fifty large cities of
the United States. The Postmaster
General has reported it such success
that he recommends the rates be re-
duced, and also the size of the pack
ages increased. We do not think
that the time has yet arrived when
this should be done. The service
should be made reasonably self-sup-
porting and the size of packages
should not be changed until the people
have learned to use the service In
time these changes could be brought
about with profit The Postmaster
Generals report also shows that there
are more than II, 900 postal savings
banks in operation, having on deposit
more than 5000, 900.

The annual meeting of the Ayrshire
Breeders Association of America was
held in New York, January 9th.
There we're about 100 members pre-
sent, and they report the association

enthusiastic over the great breed OF
dairy COWS they represent. Seventy
nine members we're added during the

the year three Ayrshire COWS had
made over 20, 600 pounds of milk each.
Remarkable as it may seem two of
these records we're made in the state
of Washington on the farm of Mr..
elise at Redmond. The other COW
making this wonderful record was
from the state of Vermont.

He produced there corn which was
not only remarkably fine for silage
purpose, but matured for the best of
seed. He exhibited this corn at other
fairs so that at least one hundred
thousand people saw it, and he also
offered $500 an ear for corn that
would beat it, raised in Western
Washington. No money was ever re-
quired. A few years ago Washington
was considered hopeless as a corn
state, but now Eastern Washington is
raising some of the best corn grown

couraging.

Representative Zednick, of King
county, has introduced measure
which should pass. This is to make
an educational board and give it con-
troll of all the educational institutions
of the state instead of now having
board for each individual institution.
This would be saving and if an able
board could be obtained results would
be very much more satisfactory than
at the present time. The constant
rivalry between the different institu-
tions of the state is becoming men
ace to all of them. A serious mistake
was made when the agricultural college
at Pullman had it's name changed to
State College. 1t looked as though
the students and directors we're
ashamed of the name. If they are
they should never be there.
