Washington News Notes

Washington, Feb. 16.-The interior
department reports that five suits to
remove unlawful Enclosures of public
lands have been won in Montana, Col.
orado and Wyoming, which resulted
in restoring 263 acres in Montana and
other lands in the states named.
Senator Walsh has Joined Senators
Cummins, Ashurst, Borah, Nelson, Ov.
erman and Chiffon in report from
the judiciary committee in favor Of
an amendment to the constitution so
that amendments can be initiated
through the action of the states or
though the people Of the states.
Senator Myers has proposed sew
eral important amendments to the In
dian appropriation bill which are in.

originally, but it has been brought
there. Hog cholera is already in the
Judith basin. 1t is in other portions
of the northwest. 1t is there because
it has been brought there. There was
no necessity of bringing it. Due pre-
caution would have kept it out, but
evidently due precaution was not ex-
ercised or it would not have been in
troduced. 1t will not avail to say
that the climate of those states is so
pure that it will not nurse hog chol-
era. 1t is no more pure than the cli-
mate of Great Britain and yet hog
cholera is plentiful there. Hog chol-
era is a germ disease. 1t will come
into a country into which the germs
are carried, and it will flourish there
howsoever pure the climate may be.
When swine, therefore, are brought
into any part of the northwest, let
those who bring them make absolute
ly sure that they do not come from a
cholera-infested region. Let them
make absolutely sure that they carry
them in properly disinfected cars.
These two precautions taken, they
need not bring in hog cholera.

ROAD.
The road was trifie over forty-seven
miles long and reached a height OF
2G3 feet.
European trade for the orient went
by way Of the isthmus. and Panama
was once more a land Of plenty. The
roadbed followed exactly the trail OF
the old Spanish mule trains. But now.
instead Of carting treasure in the
shape Of looted gold and jewels. the
treasure train carried manufactured
goods for far away countries.
In 1869 the first railroad across the
United States was completed. and
much Of the freight trade and most Of
the passengers were diverted from the
tinued to make money.
In 1891 the French Canal company.
preparing to start work on the water
way, needed the railroad The French
men found it absolutely necessary, In
fact. to carry out their plans. and so
they purchased 6S.SS7 OF the 10000
shares of stock for 1921 share and
assumed charge Of the road.
In 1904. when the United States
bought over all the rights to the canal.
it obtained this stock and also bought
up by private purchase the remaining
shares. so that today the Panama rail-
road is owned by the United States. as
is the steamship branch Of the service
The road is today one of the most
complete in the world. The old rails
have been replaced with eighty pound
ones. and it is double tracked most Of
the way. One hundred ton oil burning
locomotives are used. and the passen-
ger and freight cars are the best made.
As the Panama canal. like the rail-
road. Is following the original trails Of
the first Adventures. it has been nec-
essary to relocate some of the line. so
that today it Is running partly through
a new country. The route over which
the Panama railroad was built was
known in the old days as the gold
road. for it was traversed by gold seek
ers Of all kinds from the earliest days
to the time of the California excite.
ment in 40.
This first railroad owned by the
United States pays dividends and Is
run strictly on business principles.
Colonel George W. Goethals. the canal
builder. is the president. and there new
er has been Il suspicion of any Of the
graft or the playing Of political favor

SHOULD RAISE PORK

In a bulletin issued by the Great
Northern news service, Prof. Thomas
Shaw remarks that in the northwest
much attention to the introduction of
swine. This is true of all the north
western states, particularly western
Dakotas, Montana, Washington and
Oregon. This move is certainly step
in the right direction. Pork at $8 per
hundred live weight is certainly better
than wheat at 70 cents per bushel.
But there is right and wrong way
Of going into pork raising. Persons
who are not familiar with the business
are pretty certain to take the wrong
way. At least they are quite as apt
to take the wrong methods as the
method that is judicious and right.
What is meant by the wrong meth.
cd? 1t means first, that farmers are
generally of the opinion that they
must purchase high-bred sows or sows
that are purely bred, and it means
second, that foundation stocks may be
brought in that will bring hog chol-
era with them. The lack of inforlna.
tion on these two points is going to
cost the ranchmen dearly in all the
northwestern states.
When choosing foundation sows, it
is not essential that they shall be
purely bred or even highly graded, un-
less the ranchman is going to produce
pure-bred swine for breeding. It does
not matter how mixed the breeding.
But it does matter that the sows shall
have good conformation. Good con-
formation means long body and
enough of length of limb to make the
sows active as grazers during the sea
son of grazing. 1t does not matter
much what the blood components are.
providing the conformation is as stat
ed above. Mixed blood elements are
advantageous rather than prejudicial,
for the reason that the more mixed
the blood elements on the side of the
dam, the more rapid will be the i'm.
provement when such dams are mixed
with pure-bred sires of any breed.
It should be remembered that with
sows Of mixed breeding improvement
comes chiefly from the sire If purely
bred. The more mixed the breeding
Of the dam. the more surely will the
progeny resemble the sire. AS mar
kets are at the present time, it will
not matter much what breed the sire
comes from, but it is pretty certain
that the markets of the future will
give the preference to a sire of tn,
bacon breeds. as the Yorkshires or th'
Tanworth.
It is peculiarly unfortunate that hol
cholera should be brought into th'
northwestern states. It might havl
kept out of these. It was not ther'

Will Abolish Phosphorus Matches

VIII A0OujS0 0OoSpnOCoUS maICUeO
Both the manufacture and sale of
matches containing white phosphor-
GUS will be brought to an end in this
country on July 1, 1915, when the law
recently passed by congress, impos-
ing a prohibitive tax on matches in
which this substance is used. will go
into full effect, as explained in the
Popular Mechanics magazine. This
law was passed after years of agita-
ton and after a long educational CAM
paign that made the public aware of
the terrible effects produced on the
operatives in match factories through
working with white phosphorous, and
brought out the fact that there were
other forms of phosphorous not of a
poisonous nature. Phosphorus is OBJ
tanned from bones, which consist
mostly Of PHOSPHORUS and lime chem
ically combined with each other and
with organic matter. The two forms
most commonly seen are white phos'
phorous and red PHOSPHORUS. The
white PHOSPHORUS is poisonous, while
the red PHOSPHORUS is practically
harmless.
Under the new law only two kinds
of matches will be in use-the So
called safety" match, which ignites
when scratched on a specially prepar-
ed surface on the side of the box, and
the "bird's.eye" match, which can be
ignited on any dry surface after the
manner of the white-prosphorous
match. The main ingredient of the
safety match is chlorate of potash,
while the surface on which it is to be
lighted is painted with red phosphor-
GUS. The substance used for the tip
of the bird's-eye match is sesquisulph-
ide of phosphorous, a compound of a
comparatively harmless nature.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY IS, 1s1
GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION

The action of the house of repre-
sentatives in passing the Shackleford
good roads bill by an overwhelming
majority is taken to mean that the
senate will also go strongly on record
in favor of federal aid to the states in
the construction Of highways. Wheth-
er the senate will adopt the Shackle.
ford plan or some substitute remains
to be disclosed. The Shackleford bill
appropriates $25.000,000 for road con-
struction and fixes a basis of appor-
tionment and distribution of the fund
among the states. AS Mr.. Shackle-
ford is a Missourian he carefully
drafted his bill to give Missouri a
maximum appropriation, nearly equal
to that given to New York and Penn
sylvania.
But in boosting the appropriation
for Missouri he cut into the appor-
tionment that would otherwise have
gone to the western states, and for
that reason the ShacklefOrd bill is not
acceptable to many western senators
who have given the subject study. An
effort no doubt will be made, before
the senate acts on this bill, to amend
It in a way to increase the apportion-
ment to the western states, and the
argument will be advanced that these
states are in greater need of federal
aid on road work than the east.
To begin with, the western states
cover larger areas, they are more
sparsely populated, they require great
er length of roads, and, on an average,
western roads are more costly of con-
struction than are the roads in the
east and middle west, because of the
rough and mountainous character of
the country. Moreover, there being
fewer people to pay for the cost of
roads in the western states equity
would seem to demand liberal ap-
portionment of funds to states as are
in greatest need of federal aid.
Whether the south and east will
consent to any amendment of the
Shackleford plan is yet to be devel-
oped. But it is reasonably certain
that some sort of bill will be passed,
regardless of expense, for the appro-
priation will go into practically every
congressional district in the United
States and the very enactment of the
bill at this time will be good cam
paign argument to advance to the vot-
ers next fall.-Anaconda Standard.
