THE WASHINGTON FARMER

To express more fully the scope of
it's work and to conform to it's future
policy, the name of this paper with
this issue changes to The Washington
Farmer.
This publication recently passed
to the ownership of Miller Freeman,
of Seattle, it's founder, who published
it for several years as The Ranch,
and who is thoroughly familiar with
agricultural conditions in the North
west.
Changes in these conditions, as
we'll as changes in general business
conditions, call for change in the
policy of the farm paper that is to
render the best service to agriculture
in this state. The business Of farm
ing in Washington is Of sufficient
magnitude to engage the exclusive
attention OF the journal that under
takes to adequately represent it.
The Washington Farmer will there
fore devote itself solely to working
with the farmers of this state who are
preaching and practicing better
farming for Washington. 1t is plan
ned to work along different plans
than have been followed by many
farm papers, and its readers are as
sured a more interesting and more
helpful paper. 1t will have the best
staff of regular writer's to be secured.
and the first concern will be the best
possible service to it's readers.
This concentration of effort to the
state of Washington is certain to give
better service to it's readers. and, it
naturally follows, to advertisers as
we'll. Advertisers desiring to reach
the farmers of this territory have
long stood in need of one strong pa
per that could be depended upon to
cover the state of Washington. They
have long since learned that the
best returns are secured through
mediums whose circulation is con-
centrated in one state. In the East
they have used with great success
such papers as the Ohio Farmer. the
Michigan Farmer, the Nebraska
Farmer, the Kansas Farmer and
numerous others that could be relied
upon to cover certain states. Coming
to the Northwest, however, the ad-
vertiser found number of papers
that attempted to cover the entire
territory without being able to show
any considerable strength in any one
state.
The Washington Farmer will con-
centrate it's energy on Washington,
and it is hoped that the result of this
effort will be publication that will
be considered in every way worthy OF
the support of every farmer in the
state by reason of its superior service
to readers and advertisers.

 PLACE FOR S7,45O
lAJ COMMISSIONERS SALE
HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND NEAR CONWAY BRINGS
 ABOUT $75 PER ACRE
From Thursdays Daily.


 At a commissioners sale at the courthouse this afternoon, the J. w. Firestone place, consisting of 100 acres just west of Conway was sold for $7,450, or practically $75 an acre This is probably the highest price ever bid for an upland farm in Faulkner county, although similar bodies of land near the city have sold for a somewhat higher rate per acre.
 The sale was made under a decree of chancery court in the case of J. w. Firestone against John Mcleod. It will be remembered that McCleod, as an heir of Elvira Hogan, was given judgment for a one-ffth interest in 160 acres of land on the western edge of this city In the case of Firestone, the largest owner of land affected by the decree, judgment was rendered against McCleod for $1 400 for inn provements on the property, taxes paid, etc. In order to clear his title II lTcSCO1it DIWuSuL oLAlL Aol ALIiS -pflIhE tion of the lands and the sale was or dered at the last term of chancery court.
 Judge |, B. Wilson of Russellville represented McCleod at the sale to- day. Starting at S4,000, the bids rose rapidly until $7,0O0 was reached. Judge Wilson's last bid of S7 400 was raised $50 by MT. Firestone and the place was sold to it's present owner .l. R. Donnell conducted the sale for the commissioners.
 In another chancery court sale, Commissioner J. H. Hartje sold the west half of the southwest quarter, l1-4-14, to A. E. Livingston this after noon for $325. The sale was made un- der a decree in the case of Livingston against Eliza Moore ct al.

 The order of the court will be for mally published in bath county news papers throughout the time for filing and the sheriff will also post copies of the courts order at each precinct in the county The following is a copy of the courts nnder:

KIRBY ARRA|CNS
 SENATOR CLARKE
ANSWERS HIS OPPONENT
JURIST HEARD BY LARGE AND
 HERE MONDAY NIGHT.

From Tuesdays Daily
 Taking advantage of his first op- portunity to reply to the attacks made upon him by Senator Clarke at Mor- rilton Saturday, Judge William F 1 Kirby, before an enthusiastic audi ence of nearly 300 at the courthouse last night, severely arraigned his op- ponent, and emphatically denounced the charges made against him by the senator.
 ! Judge Kirby introduced for the first time in his campaign sensational charge against Senator Clarke when he declared that the Argenta street railway system, owned by Senator Clarke and operated by one of the senator's clerks on the government payroll, which had been assessed at $16,OOO, was sold last week for $l20,- GOO. This not only shows," said Judge Kirby, that the Argenta street railway is not the insignificant prop erty as the senator claims, but that he has been defrauding the state out of the taxes on $1O4,O0O worth of property"
 Dr. J. w. Conger, president of Cen tral College, presided at the meeting, after it had been called to order by County Judge Holt, and introduced the speakers. The first speaker was Earle W. Hodges, who in 10-minute talk, presented his claims for re-elec- tion as secretary of state. Following the address of Judge Kirby, F. E. Clinton, MT Hodges opponent; A. V. Smith, former secretary to Governor Futrell and candidate for state land and highway commissioner, and Hen ryfC Mccain, candidate for state au- ditor made short addresses. In introducing the principal speak CT of the evening, Dr. Conger, after mentioning the~achievements of Judge Kirby and the honors which have been ] accorded him by the people, said he was proud % introduce him as a Christian gentleman 'I know of Hc higher econium 1 can pay him tha -hat." said Dr. Conger,
