HOW TO DEVELOP
FARMING LANDS
Chehalis County Is a Great
Dairying Country, Says
Farm Expert Smith
URGES COUNTY EXPERT
Boosting Price Of Real Estate
Will Never Develop the
County's Resources

AS a result of the visit to Alb
erdeen and Hoquiam of C. L. Smith,
expert agriculturist in the employ OF
the Oregon-Washington Railway l.
Navigation Co., steps are being TAX
en- for the permanent organization
of a county central committee of the
commercial organizations of the coun.
ty. A meeting of committees from
Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Montesano, and
Elma was held yesterday in Monte
sano to prepare for a meeting Of the
farmers in Aberdeen, May 10, and to
petition the county commissioners to
engage an agricultural expert to ad.
wise and assist the farmers of the
county.
Developing a County
"By all means get an agricultural
expert to work with your farmers,
advise them when he can, study them
personally and analyze conditions pe-
culiar to this section" said Mr.. Smith.
Let him work in conjunction with
the State Agricultural College and the
Department of Agriculture, if you
want to build up farming commun-
ity here equal to those in other parts
Of the States"
Attempting to develop county
by booming realty prices does not
appeal to Mr.. Smith, anc ne con.
demned it in no uncertain terms dur
ing his address, which was one of
the most interesting heard in this
city in many a day. "The way to Sc
cure prosperity" he declared, "is to
till the SOIL"
"He who will dig in the dirt, milk
cows and feed pigs, is the man who
will develop your county, and not
the man who trades in land and at.
tempts to get rich by booming prices.
Your ranchers can double the agri-
cultural product of the district By
intelligent farming. You need some.
one to tell them how"
There is one thing that never
fails for the rancher," declared Mr..
Smith. "and that is dairying and
pigs make good supplement There
is always a market for the product
This should be great dairying coun.
try here.

ON CANAL TOLLS
Senator From Oregon Would
Abrogate Treaty If Found
Necessary
GOSSIP AT U. S. CAPITAL
Smithsonian Institute Gets
African Trophies Pic
turesque Congressman

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3d.
(SpeciaD-Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon does not believe in halfway
measures SO far as free tolls are
concerned for American ships pass
ing through the Panama Canal. Rath
er than have the agitation continue
on the part of Great Britain, that
the American nation is about to vio-
late the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in alb
sorbing the tolls on ships flying the
flag of the United States, the senior
senator from Oregon has introduced
a bill abrogating the treaty as the
easiest way out of the difficulty.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, who is
member of the foreign Relations
Committee Of the Senate, is not con.
vinced that the Chamberlain bill is
necessary on the ground that the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty contemplated
the building of the canal on foreign
soil, whereas we have acquired the
strip of territory through which the
big ditch" passes, and the canal, BY
the very nature of things, is on Am.
erican soil and therefore the treaty
in no wise applies.
In any event the question is very
much alive and is one of the per-
picking problems which the admins.
tration has to solve in the very near
future, as the new Ambassador to the
United States from Great Britain, it
is understood, is bringing with him
the last word on the toll question
from the English point of view.
Trophies from Africa
A new collection which, will make
the Smithsonian Institution in this
city the foremost repository of Afr.
can trophies in the world has been
given by Herbert Ward, the sculptor
and soldier of fortune, who is now the
last surviving officer of the Stanley
expedition which invaded the depths
of the black continent years ago in
search of Emin Pasha. The gift.
made possible through the efforts of
Thomas Nelson Page the novelist,
contains more than 1000 African
weapons and musical instruments
used by the natives.
A Picturesque Congressman
Perhaps the most picturesque new
conner in the House is SAINT Kirk
patrick of the Sixth Iowa District.
Almost all his life-at least since
the close of the Civil War-Kirkpat-
rick has been a hunter Of moonshin-
ers. Not even he could tell how aft
en- he has been shot unless he did
a few sums on his fingers. His eyes
were practically shot out in the last
raid he led SO that he is now al
most blind. There are fully 200
pieces of lead in his body as a por'
ton of the reward for being a reve-
nue. officer for twenty-seven years.
At least three times he has been
left for dead on the field and the
doctors who overhauled him pledged
their professional honor that he
couldn't get we'll. after ALL" says
Mr.. Kirkpatrick with a certain grim
ness, 81 wasn't nearly as bad off as

work during the war.
Unable to recover from the wounds
of Malvern Hill, which made 1t impos.
sible for him to march, he joined the
second North Carolina cavalry and re-
manned with that troop until his cap

the Confederacy during its later
days. The insignia of his rank is on
only one sleeve, for 1t cost too much

Webb returned to North Carolina and
began teaching at Oaks. He did not
intend making teaching his profess

providing funds with which he might
study law.
After teaching year at Oaks he
accepted an offer, 1attering for those
days, from the Horner School, one of
the largest in North Carolina. The
fact that he had led his classes at the
University won the place for him.
He stayed with Horner School four
years.
In 1870 he found a place in Culleo-

That is the only don't In the gospel
of DO, that Senator William R. Webb,
of Tennessee, has preached to thous-
ands of boys from all sections of the
country. For forty-seven years his
business has been making men, and
there is hardly city or town in the
United States, especially in the South,
where there are not Webb men," and,
invariably, they are men of promi-
nence and integrity. They all bear
loving tribute, too, to the ground work
of that integrity that was laid by the
teachings of Senator William R.
Webb, known for half a century as
"Old Sawney"
His is gospel of DO" He start
ed teaching school with the idea that
if school teachers inspired the young
sters under their care with the idea
of doing things, there would be no
necessity for the eternal, ever-increas-
ing category of "don'ts."
Service to Humanity Counts.
1t dosen't make so much difference
to Senator Webb what a man does, so
long as he is doing something that is
honorable and it is not done on the
sly. Although a profound scholar he
never has discouraged his boys from
entering business, for he holds that
any occupation is a profession if car
ried to excellence. If you are doing
something, if you are doing it in the
open, and if what you are doing in
some way, remote though it may be,
serves humanity, you are pursuing a
course that is satisfactory to the form
er United States Senator from Ten
nessee.
But if there is one "do" that is en-
phasized more than any other in the
gospel of Senator Webb, it is Tell the
! Truth"
He holds that "the greatest thing
God has made is man." That is one
of his favorite expressions, and he
holds, further, that a man is not a
man who is afraid to tell the truth
Failure to tell the truth is failure to
admit in the open what your actions
have been. Therefore it is doing
something on the sly. And he is op
posed to doing anything on the sly.

truth for truths sake originated has
