Lister Makes Hit With Grange.


(Colville Examiner.)
The addresses made by Governor
Lister in this county show that this
state has an executive who believes III
the common people and in protecting
their rights, cutting taxation, and get
ting full value for moneys expended.
A personal guaranty of the integrity
and ability of Governor Lister was
made to the State Grange by Master c.
B. Kegley, and the applause evoked by
this announcement showed that the
farmers realized the truth of the
statement. The applause with which
the statements Of the governor were
greeted, showed that the Changers ap-
preciate the course taken by the gov
ernor, and are with him in his work.
People nowadays are looking for men
who can serve the people instead of
their own selves.
The Changers and the governor are
united in the belief that non-partisau
commission city and county govern
ments must come, and perhaps in time
state government modelled on the
commission plan.

(Benton independents Record.)

(Benton independently ecord)
One of the greatest triumphs of the
present administration seems destined
to be brought about by VIM. j. Bryan,
who is probably the worlds greatest
champion of peace today. Already n
number of nations have signified their
willingness to join this country in d
universal peace plan as advocated by
the secretary of state. Should Mr..
Bryan be successful in enlisting the
great powers of the earth in a practi-
cal scheme to prevent wars in the flu
ture, he will, indeed, have accom-,
plished something that will bless the
human race and mark the administra.
ton of President Wilson as beginning
a shining epoch in the history of the
United States.

Endorses Oranges Position.


The State Grange has declared in
favor of the abolition of the state SEN
ate and of limiting the number of
members Of the house, or in other
words adopt a commission form of
government for the state. The Grange
is on the right track and if the matter
is placed before the people as an mi.
alive measure, the Call intends to sup
port it with all it's might. The legisla-
ture, not only of this but of all the
states is huge joke. They can accom-
plish nothing and spend four-fifths of
their time in introducing bills and
then at the close rush through lot Of
measures on barter and trade prop
osition. The pork barrel is the king
of the bunch.

OAKLAND, Cal, June 20.-The only
stretch Of elevated railroad west of
Chicago Is being built in California, at
the Oakland terminal on the Southern
Pacific company. 1t is to accommo-
date the numerous suburban electric
trains that pass at that point with pas
sengers between the east bay cities and
San Francisco.
The rails will be carried on a double
track, ballasted deck structure, eX-
tending for a distance of about II city
blocks. These changes are made to
prevent congestion. for the traffic out
of the Oakland terminal is very heavy.

Brislayvn a Wise Choice.

(Spokane Democracy
When Governor Ernest Lister chose
Mr.. J. w. Brislawn of Davenport as a
member of the state tax commission
he made one of the best appointments
of his administration. Mr.. Brislawn is
one of the younger set in Washington's
Democracy, who has been prominent in
the councils of his party for some
years and has had much experience in
county Office and in the legislature.
And in every position he has ever held
he has made good. His judgment is
conservative and sound, he is honest,
he is fearless, is free from entangle-
ments which might interfere with his
usefulness, he possesses rare ability
and first, last and always he is Dem
ocrat. He is to be congratulated upon
his appointment, and even to greater
extent is Governor Lister to be con-
graduated upon the wisdom Of his
choice and Mr.. Brislawn's acceptance.

(Chehalis County Calk)
Governor Lister made an address at
Colville last week in which he said:
What this state needs is more inter
nal development and less money
squandered for advertising purposes
Of uncertain quality"
The governor further said that we
need more farms and fewer town lots
and that roads should be built to open
traffic to trade centers and between
trade centers and not to develop noun
tain scenery. He cited state road No
2 near Colville as an example of for.
mer extravaganza.
Governor Lister is eminently cor
rect in his conclusions. False boom
ing, like the violation of any other nat.
ural law, must ultimately pay the pen
atty. Take Wenatchee, for example.
We are informed by commercial men
that never in Wenatchee's history have
times been so tight as at present, all
on account of an inflated boom and
inflated values.
The People, the Papers and the Rail-
roads.
(Snohomish County Tribune.)
Time was, when the people needed
the aid of every newspaper in protect.
ing them from the impositions of the
railroads of the country. Time is,
when the railroads need the newspa-
pers in order to keep their financial
heads above water, because Of much
adverse legislation. 1t is as unjust for
the people to treat the railroads un-
fairly as 1t was for the railroads to
treat the people unfairly, and as much
the duty Of the newspaper to tell the
truth about it despite lingering pref
udice in some quarters against the big
common carriers.
Here's an Excellent Thing to Remember
Clarke County SUM
The Northern Pacific and North
Bank railroads pay one-fifth of all the
taxes in this county. They also EN-
ploy about 600 men. 1t pays to boost
for the railroads. The railroads and
officials are some boosters, too.

SPRING WORK IN THE GARDEN
Early Vegetables May Be Grown Be-
tween Rows Of Tomato Plants
Long Before Latter Are Up.

Much of the space in the garden
may be double cropped where the soil
is kept free from weeds and hand hoe
ing is thoroughly done. To illustrate:
Sow a row of onion seeds and, about
two or three inches distant, a row of
sets, or buttons of the evergreen onion.
These will grow and be eaten before
the black seed fairly starts growth. Or
a row of onion sets and row of let
tuce, or radish, together A row Of
parsnip, or carrot, and row of sets,
or lettuce, or radish. One will mature
and be used before the other, and both
are hoed and hand weeded at once as
readily as if alone. A row of sweet
peas may have early vegetables along
side it to advantage. Early vegetables
may be grown between rows of tomato
plants, melons or cucumbers, and
used, or marketed, long before their
comrades occupy the ground.
Hubbard squash and pie pumpkins
planted among early potatoes set and
mature their fruit after the potatoes
ripen and their tops die down. Ground
sown to early peas may be set to late
cabbage or sown to winter radfsh or
turnips after the peas mature and are
removed. This late working the soil
kills hosts of weeds and prevents them
maturing seed after August /, the
time when garden weeds usually ma,
ture seeds.

to range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage
to the crops and by such practice Sc
cure double returns from the same
piece of land.
Orchards or cornfields are ideal for
this purpose and the presence of the
chickens in them is beneficial rather
than detrimental, as they will destroy
large numbers of insects injurious to
the crops. The movable colony house
which is rapidly coming into general
use on the farm makes it possible to
scatter the chickens out over the
fields.
This method is especially valuable
for handling the young stock, as it
gives freedom to the birds. The re-
suit will be stronger, more vigorous
birds. By moving the house close to
the fields where small grains have
been harvested the birds are able to
turn into profitable gains the shelled
grain and scattered heads which re-
main on the field.

Enriching the Language.

The growth and change which are
inseparable from all living language
cannot fail to interest the student, and
special interest attaches to the in
corporation of the names of we'll
known men, Thus Wellington has
come to mean sort of boot; Broug-
ham, a carriage, and Gladstone, appro-
pirate enough, a travellers bag, as
that great man advocated the "bag and
baggage" policy, which seems likely
at length to be adopted.
Other names have been turned into
verbs as we'll as nouns. For instance,
the murderer Burke's name is per-
petuated in the words to burke, burk-
ed, burking and burkism, while in
quite recent times Captain Boycott's
experiences resulted in the language
being enriched by the phrases to
boycott, boycotter, boycotting, etc.
The most notable case was prob
ably that of the great and good man,
Rev. T. Bowlder, d. D., who by pub
fishing a family edition" of Shake
speare in 1881, added the words
"bowlderize' and "bowlderism' to our
language.

USE SNAKES 70 KIT SNAKES
South America Has Discovered an
Excellent Way to Cope With the
Universal Pest.


In South America, where the snake
pest Is very serious proposition,
they are now using snakes to catch
snakes.
Even in the most civilized parts of
Brazil over 1000 persons are killed
annually by snake bite.
Tne mongoose, which proved so eff
fectlve in Jamaica and elsewhere, is
of little use here. Necessity is the
mother Of invention, and nature and
science together have at last discov-
cred something which it is hoped may
eventually exterminate the dreadful
pest.
The discovery is nothing else than a
"beneficient" snake which is harmless
to man, and which kills and eats the
poisonous species.
The mussurana, as it is called, is
thick, muscular snake about four
feet long. It is possessed of an in
satiable appetite for poisonous vipers,
and it can tell of the approach of one
in the same way that a pointer will
scent" game. When tackling its
prey, which is frequently considerably
bigger than itself, the "good" snake
assumes lethargic air as if it were
glutted with food and could not fight.
Seeing this the bad snake Immediately
attacks.
This is just what the other wants;
for, being rendered by nature com
pletely immune from the poison, it
seizes it's enemy before it has had
time to recover from the charge, and
gives fatal bite at the base of the
brain.

HEALTH IN DEEP BREATHING
One of the Most Important considera-
tions for Man Who Would Work
to Full Capacity.

No piece Of advice that the physi-
clan can give will bear more frequent
repetition than the pithy sentence:
Breathe deeply" It is perfectly
simple rule of health, yet it is con-
stantly broken. There is no reason
why our lungs should not have all the
fresh air they need for their work;
the supply is unlimited. But In our
folly we refuse to give them their
fair share of it, because we are too
lazy to breathe deeply.
We go on from day to day. drawing
in little, inadequate puffs of air. living
from hand to mouth, as it were; and
then we wonder why we feel tired and
nervous, why our skin is sallow and
our eyes dull, why we catch cold
easily and digest our food badly.
When things have come to this pass
there is nothing for it except to put
ourselves to school and learn patiently
to do what we were meant to do I'M
consciously.
There are two ways to learn to
breathe. If our powers Of self-d1sci-
pline are poor, as is the case with
most insufficient breathers, 1t Is q
good plan to join a gymnasim or
calisthenic class and learn to use the
lungs as a baby learns to use its feet
and hands. But remember that les
sons in breathing do no good II the
scholar thinks he is absolved from his
task except when he Is in the class.
A simpler method for those VINO
have not time or opportunity for the
gvunasium is to turn life's daily rou-
tine into continuous discipline In
breathing. If the poor breatner taxes
the trouble to watch himself carefuliy
ha will find that when he is engaged
unon any work that calls for close at
+ention he does not even breathe a.
daenlv as usual; he almost Invariably
holda his breath. Then the blood cur

Eggs More Profitable.

The production of eggs on the farm
is always more profitable than the
production Of market poultry. Less
equipment is necessary to carry on
the business and the product is ready
for market as soon as produced. 4
the greatest profits are to be secured
from the business some attention must
be given to the proper selection, feed
ing and care of the poultry. Inc

Farm Machinery.

Numerous Investigations upon this
farm machinery question have brought
out that the life of farm machinery de-
ponds great deal on the owner. The
same Identical machine or implement
will last twice as long with one man
as it does with another. The difference
in duration is in favor of the ma
chinery that is housed. All leather
belts and canvas parts should be Ia
ken from the machine and stored In
a dry place and in place free from
rats and mice. A few of these rodents
can do great amount Of damage in q
very short time. Figure the cost OF
your machine and the per cent It
earns on the investment and see IL you
cannot afford to shelter 1t well. The
years that will be added to the life Of
it will Offset the first cost many times
over.
