The dry soil remains poor in humus,
In moist spots the soil is darker and
humus content increased.
The heavy clay soils require heavier
dressing of phosphorus and lighter
dressing Of nitrogen, while on the dry
soil the reverse Is true. Wet. cold
soils are for the most part poor In
potassium.

Of crop rotation should bring wheat
after corn, clover after wheat Zone or

Cowpeas, sugar beets, turnips and
similar crops ought to have a place in

VALUE OF THE HEML0cK.
Bark For Tanners Use and Lumber
Are Products Of the Tree.

Hemlock has always been an i'm
portant source Of tanning material on
account of the tannic acid In its bark.
While there are now many substitutes,
large quantities are still used, and the
bark Of hemlock forest may furnish
a considerable revenue; hence, in order
to estimate the total value Of a hem
lock stand, 1t is necessary to be able
to determine the amount of bark az
well as that of lumber.
Wherever hemlock seed trees are
plentiful reproduction is usually fair.
1t does not. however, take possession
Of old pastures as do the pine and
spruce, and 1t Is practically never
found on the burns Oh the mountains.

BIG FIRE
VISITS
RUSTON

Fire which broke out in An
derson's saloon in Ruston at 2
O'Clock this afternoon destroyed
the saloon, the Franklin board
ing house and the city hall, and
it is expected that several other
frame structures will be burned
before the flames are quelled.
The volunteer fire department is
fighting desperately to stop the
spread of the flames, but their
efforts are weak for lack of water.
1t is expected that whole
city block will burn down before
the fire is stopped.
All three buildings are frame
structures, and the loss at pres
ent will reach several thousands.
The city hall is complete wreck.
The smelter men have been sum-
moned to aid in fighting the fire.

to a window. Firemen later
rescued Mrs. Wilkins, but Mrs.
Bonnevieu was cremated.
Tina Nelson jumped from sec
ond floor window and received
injuries from which she will die.
The police fear that some of the
missing persons are dead in the
ruins.
Five bodies already have been
recovered and it is predicted that
at least 20 others will be taken
from the ruins before night.
OF the injured, six are in hos
pitfalls in serious condition.
Eight others escaped with minor
bruises. The property loss is
5000, 100.
Stories of locked doors and in
accessible fire escapes are limited
at by the survivors. A score or
more guests, they insist, were
caught like rats in a trap. The
firemen are rapidly clearing away
the debris, but 20 feet of wreck
age still covers that portion of
the ruins where most of the
guests were sleeping.
A score of guests still are
missing, but the police say some
of those who escaped undoubted-
ly went to their homes without
reporting their safety.

OF
DEAD WOMAN
WAS HERE

The police are still in the dark
as far as any knowledge of the
murderer of Mary Lezner, whose
body was found badly cut up in
her home on South ID street, is
concerned. The entire police
force has been following clues,
but today the authorities admit
that they are completely at sea.
Morris Rosenberger, divorced
husband of the dead woman, ar
rived from Portland yesterday.
He was closely questioned by the
police and after a severe examin-
alton he was permitted to return
to his home in Portland. He was
in that city the day of the muir
der.
A French boarder Is being
sought today. 1t is said he was
the. last person seen with the
Lezner woman on the date of the
murder. ..-.-.

married him?" asked Deputy
Prosecutor Askren appearing for

marry them,' responded the
wife.
Her stepbrother also testified
that st. John was cruel and had
not supported her properly. He
told of seeing the defendant come
home and kick Mrs. st. John
about once after a fishing trip.
Judge Chapman thought maybe
it was because he hadn't caught
any fish, but the witness denied
this. No defense was presented
by the defendant and Mrs. st.
John was granted a decree.
The couple were married in

The merits of the foregoing
claim are to be determined by a
jury composed of eight women
and four men in the case of Peter
and Elizabeth Bellies against the
city for injuries sustained in a
severe fall at the municipal dock
which the plaintiffs allege was
due to a rotten floor. The acci-
dent occurred September 10,
1912. The Bellies run the Puyal-
lup hotel at Puyallup.
The city declares that any ac-
cident was due to negligence on
the part of the plaintiff.
The damages asked amount to
$2,7O7. An unusual request is
made in that the plaintiffs de-
sire 81 alleged to have been spent
for auto hire after the accident.
One hundred is also asked be-
cause the hotel has been deprived
of the services of Mrs. Bellies.

"Why not" says Rev. Mr..
Wheeler. 81 believe in athletics
and clean sports, and I believe
in religion. Religion and athle-
tics ought to go hand in hand.
If the athletics can't stand re-

cleaning up and if religion can't
stand athletics it indicates the re-
ligion is too weak to be much ac-

81 want religion and athletics
that will be strong and clean and
something that will appeal to the

At the Mixer" tonight both
boys and girls will be welcome.
1t is probably the first wrestling
match in Tacoma where young
ladies have attended freely.
Rev. Mr.. Wheeler thinks it will

there will be other games and
