MEASURING HAY IN STACK

Reply to Andrew Wright, Sidewood,
Sask. "Will you please send me a
formula for measuring hay in the
stack?"
For obtaining the number OF tons
OF hay in stack, the first step is to
measure the width and length with a
tape line, and then what Is known as
the overthrow, that is, pass tape
Hno from the bottom OF the stack on
one side over to the bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which Is called the overthrow
by three, then multiply the length by
the width, and this by one-third Of
the overthrow-this gives you the
number Of cubic feet in the stack. or
course, If the stack is different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements In
several places and obtain the average
of these by adding them together and
dividing by the number Of measure.
ments made
The n nber Of cubic feet Of has
per ton varies considerably with the
length Of time that il has been stacked

forenoon, OF heart failure following
the administering of anaestheuc dur

Mrs. olding had been in i'll health
Tor good many years, but the ser

unexpectedly that it was an especial
shock to her many friends. She had
on previous occasions been upon the
operating table, and had suffered no
i'll effects from the anaesthetic,
though it was known that her heart

three sisters and two brothers to
mourn her death. She was born in

at her death. She removed to Grants
Pass in 1907. In June, 1910, she
was married to Frank Bruce Olding,
of this city.
The surviving sisters are Mrs. w.
F. Bruell and Mrs. II. A. Hagman of
Redfield, South Dakota, and Mrs. f.
II. Balsiger of Grants Pass, the
brothers being G. A. Riggs of Port
land and ]. G. Riggs of Grants Pass.
The deceased as girl and woman
had been OF that sweet and sunny
disposition that radiated happiness
wherever she went, and her friends
included all who were fortunate
enough to be numbered among her
associates. She was a member OF
the Eastern Star of this city.
Funeral arrangements will not be
made till word is received from the
sisters who reside in South Dakota

CHRISTIANS DEFEAT
BAPTISTS IN BASKETBALL.

The basketball game Wednesday
evening between the Baptist and
Christian teams resulted in a victory
for the Christian quintet by score
of 45-16. During the first half the
two teams played desperately, the
score standing 25-9 at the end
of this half. However, the Christians
showed their better staying qualities
when they came back in the second
half and played rings around their
opponents. Spectators state that the
Christian team showed better team
work in this stage of the game than
they have yet shown this season. A
beneficial change was made in this
team in switching Bratton and Fau-
bion. the former from guard to for
ward and Faubion from forward to
guard. The Christians are now play
ing in better form than in the last
few games and it is certain the close
of the pennant race will be fierce and
close.
Friday evening the Methodists and
Presbyterians will meet in what is
sure to be an exciting contest.

that the train was doing good work

here along certain lines, but with due re-
spect to the college and the work it is
doing, according to the belief of the mem
bers here it is fact beyond dispute that
SO far as crops are concerned the otero
Agricultural association can show much
better display and with the display can
give crop figures in manner that can
be understood by every farmer.
As stated by President Dye. and con-
Cured in by the members. the farmers
would not be at all afraid to put out an
exhibit in competition and believe that
outside of the pathological display they
would stand a good chance Of reaping the

NEWS FROM STATE CAPITOL
Water Defense Appropriation Is Now
Ready for Use.

The supreme court upon inquiries from
the senate has rendered an opinion the
effect Of which will be to largely .nullify
what was supposed to be the powers
given the people under the initiative and
referendum. The court holds that the
legislature can repeal any law enacted by
the people. This gives the legislature the
last say on any law which the people
propose and adopt. The court also holds
that the legislature can prevent the sub
mission Of any law to the people which it
enaets; by inserting the following sem
tenoe: at is hereby declared and enacted
that this present act is law necessary
for the immediate preservation Of the
public health and safety" With this sem
tenee in a law enacted by the ass emily
it cannot be referred. The court did not
say whether the sentence would prevent
the people from initiating law repeating
this section. Attorneys are divided on
that point. At any rate under this opinion
the legislature can undo anything the
people do and prevent the people from
undoing anything which it does.
The senate has passed and sent over
to the house the Burris Public Utility Bill,
Under its provisions a public utility COM
mission is created with power to control
and regulate all public utilities in the
state. The bill is. according to a number
exceedingly drastic. The public utilities
are preparing to make hard fight to
prevent its goeing through the house as
it passed the senate, The section prev
enting it being referred was taken out as
result of the fight made against it by
the Republican press, But now that the
supreme court has held that it cannot be
referred If this sentence is inserted, the
sentence will no doubt be reinserted.
The Democrats of the senate are divid-
ed the same as they were two years ago
This time there are seven reformers who
absolutely refuse to 60 into caucus
with the other seventeen. This has had
the result Of preventing the serious con-
sideration Of platform pledges.
After working several weeks in an at
tempt to get together on good roads legis-
lation the senate has appointed a special

is hoped, will be agreeable to all.

PREPARE FOR ELECTION
Old Mayor and Council Appear to
Have No Opposition.

At the adjourned meeting of the city
council on Wednesday evening the judges
and clerks were chosen for the coming
city election and the clerk was instructed
to procure the necessary blanks and other
papers.
The appropriation ordinance was pas
sed on first reading and new contract
was entered into with Ditchman Hoover
for the supervision of irrigation this COM
ing season.
Frank Pede was elected night marshal.
in place of Carl Weld who threw up the
job after ten days of service.
Although several of the aldermen would
like to have rest from their arduous
duties, it appears to be the general opinion
that they. as well as the mayor and ell
ective officers. can be prevailed upon to
accept another term and petitions will be
circulated within the next few days look
ing to their election without opposition.
The only position that will then have
to be filled will be to elect successor to
H. |. Maxwell. The Enterprise has heard
Charlie Cartwright suggested for the
place and in our opinion he would fill the
place to the entire satisfaction of all.
