crate soldiers as long as there is a
handful left to reunite, according to
the sentiment expressed at the open
ing session of the twenty-siXth annual
reunion of the United Confederate

States. They were adopted by a ris-
ing vote, amid scenes Of great great

mingham, do hereby again renew and
declare our unfaltering allegiance to
the government of the United States
in this its hour of great international
difficulties.
I'VE took up arms against the gov
ernment, not as rebels but to protect
our homes and fresides; to prove and
maintain the principle of states rights
and although the arbitrament of arms
was against us, we lost neither our
courage, our manhood nor our patriot
ism
To-day, the remnant of the armies
of the Confederate States of America,
does hereby offer herself, her sons
and her property upon the alter Of
a reunited country which we love
and seek to serve, protect and de-
fend.

citizen over 1G years of age residing
/, in the United States and its territor-
les be required Immediately to report
to the probate judge Of his county or
other like officer under penalty Of
the law and there swear allegiance to
this government, pledge himself TO
support Loyalty the government
against any and all foes whether

DISPLACEMENT
Of HORSES BY
MACHINERY
MUCH WORK ON FARM FOR THE
HORSE AND FEWER HORSES
ARE DISPLACED THAN is GEN
ERALLY SUPPOSED.

Washington, ID. c., May 17.-n in
yestigatiLg the value of the tractor
from the farmers point of view,
specialists of the department of agri-
culture recently obtained from over
400 owners of tractors in Illinois re-
ports as to the number of horses which
the tractor had enabled them to do
away with in the farm work. The fol
lowing analysis of about 200 reports
from typical corn-belt farms is taken
from the Farmers Bulletin 719, "An
Economic Study of the Farm Trac-
tor in the Corn Belt"
MANY men look to the tractor to
enable them to do away with the use
of horses for farm work, at least in
great part TO date, however, the trac-
tor has not dispaced horses to the eX-
tent commonly expected by purchas-
ers, but its greatest advantage, as
before mentioned, lies in the fact that
it does the heavy work quickly and
thus completes it within the proper
season, since it places at the farmers
command a large amount of power
when needed.
"The tractor does displace horses
to some extent, but only in about two
thirds of the eases where it is used
on the same number of acres pre-
yiously farmed. In these instances
the horses displaced' average only
about four and represent slightly less
than so per cent of the cost of the
tractor outfit The number of horses
displaced does not appear to vary to
any great extent with the size of the
outfit, about as many horses being
laid off after the purchase Of small
outfit as after buying a large one. The
number viii vary under different con
ditions, however, the principal influ-
encing factors being the number Of
acres farmed per horse and the distri-
button of the work throughout the
year. In the ocrn belt, horses are sell
dom displaced on farms where the ay-
erage titled acreage per horse is 30
or more. On the farms in Illinois where
horses were displaced by the tractor,
one horse had been kept for each 20
acres of titled land. After the pur-
chase of the tractor one horse was
kept for each 80 acres of titled land,
or approximately the same as on the
farms on which no horses were dis
paced.
There is much work on most farms
Tor which it is neither practicable nor
profitable to use the tractor. This is
especially true in the corn-belt sec.
ton, where cultivating frequently re-
quires more power at one time than
any other farm operation. Few, if
any, tractors, according to reports re-
ceiyed, are utilized for such work
with entire satisfaction, and it is,
therefore necessary to retain a con
siderable number of horses after the
tractor is bought

THE ART OF FORGETTING

What blessed thing it is that we
can forget! Todays troubles look
large, but week hence they will be
forgotten and buried out of sight.
says one writer: eff you would keep
a DOCK and daily. put down the
things that worry you, and see what
becomes of them, it would benefit
you. You allow thing to annoy
You, just as you allow fly to settle
on you and plague you; and you
lose your temper and you justify
yourself by being thrown off your
balance by causes which you do not
tract out. But if you could see
what 1T was that threw you off your
balance before breakfast, and put it
down in a little book, and follow it
up and follow it out, and ascertain
what becomes of it, you would see
what fool you were in the matter"
The art of forgetting is a blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quite
as important. And if we should
take time to write down the origin,
progress and outcome Of a few Of
our troubles, it would make us SO
ashamed of the fuss we make over
them, that we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at once
in eternal forgetfulness. Life is toe
short to be worn out in petty wor.

CAT RODE OUT HURRICANE

Members Of the crew of the Anchor
liner California, which arrived yester-
day from Glasgow with a cargo Of
kippered herings and Scotch whisky,
told a thrilling yarn of a storm the
vessel passed through on the home
ward voyage from New York. She
left this port on November II with
las passengers for Glasgow and ran
into a gale three days out which blew
with hurricane force and raised noun
famous seas. The sailors said they
had noticed that riddles, the ships
cat, had seemed uneasy for "a hours
before the California struck the heavy
weather, and spent his time in the
weather fore rigging meowing plain
lively in the winds eye.
One very heavy wave rolled over
the bridge and put the steering gear
out of commission. Three sailors
were knocked down trying to get aft
to man the hand gear and the ship had
to be steered for several hours with
her twin propellors until the steam
steering gear could be repaired by the
engineers. Another big sea carried
away a lifeboat on the port side and
stove in the side of the Marconi house,
and the wireless apparatus was put
out of commission.
The sailors managed to hoist the
forestaysail, which steadied the liner
little so that the passengers were
able to get out on deck. riddles had
been hoisted accidently in the fore
staysail and could not get down again
on account of the violence of the hur-
ricane. The cat according to Ben
Fidd. the bo'sun's mate, expressed
such dreadful things to the crew that
they could hear him above the shrek
ling of the tempest.
II was a fearsome sight Fidd SAID

ments. Tiddles hung on until one OF

The cost of mining hard coal in any part of the east is much cheaper and the rail transportation to any coast point is much lower than is true of the Alaska coal Owing to the wages which must be paid in Alaska and the cost of getting in supplies at the pres snt time, Mir. Leehey stated that coal could not be mined alone for much less than S3 per ton. He says that the 4stimate made by Pinchott and Homp- tons magazine of Sl and $l.5O per ton is a pipe dream and was estimated on eastern la,or conditions aod east eu trans. ."'ta.ion and r)t upon con ditions as they exist in AIaskl.
 Nh. Lechey stated tha- Alaska coal would have to be laid down in Cali fornia at 8 per ton to have selling market demand. After mining the coal, say, for SS per ton it must be ,aulcd to tidewater and at a rail cost; it then must be loaded upon steamers and hauled Co San Francisco at a water cost; it must then be distribut- ed and these facilities provided at an additional cost, and one can easily figure where the profits would not come in at
 lIy. Leehey also stated that the plan for having regular coal barges or coal steamers built for carrying coal alone, the same as in the east, will not prove practical for the Alaska business. The haul is too long. with a limited market to be sup piled, compared with eastern condi- tious, and without any return cargo for the coal barges or ships.-Ju- ucau Dispatch.

LEEHEY SAYS COAL
 CLAIMS BE TIED UP

JUNEAU, Oct. lO.-While in Ju- neau on his way south, Maurice D. Leeney, the we'll known attorney of Seattle, who represents clients after coal claims under the government leasing plan in the Mataauska fields, vas interviewed in reference to coal development.
 Mr. Leehey said that his coal clients were prepared to spend SlOO,OOO in development work, but they find that the present members of the engineer ing commission cannot establish ail- road rates. The members of the com mission have taken tEe matter up with Secretary Lane and upon advice of the commission Mir. Leehey has CON suited other Washington bureaus, but it seems that there is no way Go get around this point without special legislation at tEc herds Of Congress.
 Meantime. the coal claimants hardly care to risk their money until given assurance Of stable rates Profit for mining coal, of course, depends upon the price wajcb 1t can be laid down in the markets outside in competition to other coal and to California oi' and the cost Of transportation and distri- button of the coal naturally are very important factors and must be known in advance.
 Mr. Leehey believes that the Mata- nusI,a coal will command a better price outside for blacksmith coal and naval where high grade steamiug coal is needed because of its quality. but even then it must compete with high grade eastern coal which is shipped via water mostly through the Panama canal
