CLEAN JOURNALISM

Senator Works of California has re-
Gently distributed copy of his speech
In the Senate on his bill making it
unlawful to publish reports of crimes
and accidents In the District of Col
umbia.
Mr.. Works, in the conclusion Of his
speech. admitted the futility of his
proposed statute, by conceding that
the evils of which he complains can
not be overcome by law. But while
one may well deny the desirability
OF Mr.. Works main proposition, many
OF his criticisms upon the modern
newspaper are fair.
For instance, in deploring unwar-
ranted intrusion in private lite. he
refers to the dissertation of funerals
BY persistent efforts of newspaper
men to get pictures Of the mourners,
the casket, and the bearers. Most
newspaper people will concede that
when people are struggling with be
reavement, remOrseless kodak fiends
might well leave them free to fight
their own inner battles.
The queer thing is that SO many
respectable people will buy newspa-
pers that sanction such coarse i'm
pertinences. While the average man
deplores intrusion into his own
1airs, he seems to want the newspa-
per to intrude into the affairs of his
netghbors.
There is a very large section of the
public that reesents scandal, intrusive
gossip, and revolving details of crime.
These people should let severely alone
the newspapers that bride servants,
listen at key holes and desecrate fu-
nerals The majority of news papers
are made by men of kindly hearts.
Competition occasionally becomes so
fierce. particularly in metropolitan
daily journalism, as to dull the sense
OF decency and consideration of pri-
vate rights. Men who, normally would
nave generous instincts, lose all SYM
pathy in their cynical rush for
Scoops" Don't buy this morbid nro-
duct, and It will cease to exist.

Still, a tactful landlord with COM
mon sense and some knowledge of
human nature can do a great deal to
make his guests have a good time.
Plenty of chance to play games, room
for the young folks to dance in, some
one to make music, not too much
forcing OF various circles into eacl
other, are good rules. There are in
congruous features in the annual mi
grafton, but a whole lot of people
like it or capitalists wouldn't keen

WHY NOT MORE HOGS?

A few days ago q carload Of hogs
arrived at the Portland Union Stock
Yards by rail from Condor, Ore, the
consignors being the Gilman-French
Co., of The Dalles, the hogs coming
from that company's Prairie ranch
in Wheeler County, this ranch being
located a few miles southeast OF
Fossil.
These hogs sold for 1910 per hun.
dred pounds, and the carload, consist
ing Of 80 head, brought the shippers
and sales expenses. The manager OF
the Gilman-French ranch states that
the grain fed to these hogs to fatten
them amounted to about 725 bushels,
which al. the market price at the
time of shipment, about 70 cents per
bushel. sums up $529.25. But from
this must be subtracted the price OF
$50 grain sacks at 1O1x cents eac'
and hauling the grain to market the
haul surely being worth Is cents a
bushel for the 35-mile haul.
Deducting such items, we find these
hogs we're fed, in the fattening stage,
grain worth $38375 To this, how
ever. should be added, to make the
comparison complete, the cost of haul
Ing the hogs to Condor The hogs
each, or 1880 pounds. The 1875
bushels of wheat fed them weighed
1880 pounds, SO there was a saving
In hauling OF practically $4,000
pounds
AS pigs and shoats these hogs were
fed chopped wheat, barley and corn
and ground alfalfa; perhaps sucl
feed would amount to SO per he
Deducting this sum, 1910, from t
net amount found above, it will
seen that there was good pro.
In the grain fed. Mr.. Cooper says the
usual estimate that grain fed to hogs
viii fetch 81 q bushel is far too low.
Certainly the figures bear him out.
One OF the pleasing features dis
cernible in the wheat regions is CT
increasing interest in feeding grain
instead OF marketing it in the raw.
Many wheat-growers are feeding
their wheat and barley to cattle and
sheep. making good returns thereby
much better than IL they hauled their
grain to market This il particu-
larly true where the haul il long and
the roads not Of the best.
The one drawback in much of
area where grain is grown IL the la.
OF water. Without good supply of
running water hog-raising is practi-
cally impossible. On the other hand,

Several large ranches In Sherman,

Plans For..Extension in the Local
Yards Now in the Hands of
Officials Here and Work
Will Soon Begin
TWO ADDITIONAL SIDE
TRACKS TO BE BUILT
Improvement Necessary to Han.
die Immense Volume of
Freight Here

To meet the demand for addi-
tional track room in the South Yards
of the Louisville e Nashville railroad
to accommodate the increase in the
freight traffic that is contemplated
during the winter, work will begin the
early part of next week upon the ex-
pany to double the present capacity
and at the same time the construc-
ton of two new tracks will begin.
The plans and specifications for
the improvements have been in the
hands of the Chief Engineer of the
company and have just been returned
to this city, after being approved by
the engineer and President Milton H
Smith.
The present capacity of each side
track in the South Yards is estimated
to be between forty and sixty cars, a
number of them varying in length
Under the new plans the capacity will
be increased from the above from
eighty to one hundred cars. The
two new tracks which will be con
structed will each have a capacity
of about one hundred cars. This i'm
provement it is said will remove any
| possibility of congestion in the yards
which now frequently occurs.
Recently the l.. & n. purchased q
strip of land along the right of way

teenth street to Claysville, which
when first constructed accommodated
about four tracks, has been doubled
and the work has been completed fol
about six weeks. Grading the road
