days to the central part of the state,
and he is more than pleased atapthe

the association has taken up the work.
IN EDDY county we were very much

the seeding was done In rows last
Iail, n 1T shows. too, that the alfalfa
stood the winter nicely and will prove
to be a great success. Mr.. PEOPLES
says that he has looked into the mat
ter to a considerable extent and finds
that wherever the seeding was done
IN rows the yield will be great and
plend yields will be the results. It
might be said in connection with this
that 1000 pounds of alfalfa seed has
been sold right in New Rockford this

will bend his energies along this line.
In fact there is a great deal of en-

are already UP a foot in this locality
is certain to make the yield great

met Senators Overman and Reed went
to the White House and conferred with
the. president. Both declined to talk
OF the visit, but the president told the
1nqulrers. he made suggestions to the
senators which will be developed in
the course Of the inquiry. He declined
to say what they might be. The sena-
tors didn't ask the president to appear
and 1t was generally regarded at the
capitol and the White House that he
wouldn't. 1t was said the president
has practically placed all his informa-
ton on the lobby in the hands of Over
man and Reed and the impression pre-
vailed that later the president might
furnish a list of names of those whom
he believed to be lobbying against the
tariff bill.
Senator Ashurst, was first called.
he testified he was not Interested
directly or indirectly, financially in the
production, manufacture or sale of
any article mentioned in the tariff
bill or any other bill pending before
congress nor had he sought to in
huence any other senator. Ashurst
said ne hadn't kept a record Of the
lobbyists" or persons who talked
with senator's" about the tariff bill.
He was not prepared to give the
names of all he could remember. He
mentioned several but said there was
nothing improper said to him by these
men and they did what every citizen
a a right to do, talk to their senator
about their business affairs
Ashurst did believe however. that a
IMAM named McMUrray'' had been at
tempting to influence improperly the
action of senators with respect to
preventing the cancellation of certain
contracts McMurray held with the
Cherokee Indians for the sale of land
whereby he might receive So, 500, 900.
Bacon, following Ashurst said he
didn't believe anything he was as
ISOLATED with financially was affected
by amy Of this" legislation. Bacon
he hadn't tried to influence mem
beers of the senate, except in a general
way, to urge the reduction of the tariff
on articles of general use.
Borah next took the stand. EMO,
was his answer to all questions as ID
whether he was interested in any in
dustry or represented professionally
any industry affected by the tariff. He
mentioned several who had talked n
him about various items on the tariff
bill. )
