Considering the little time that is
SPENT on this work. 1 feel that the
Pierce County Soil problems are be-
ing looked after very carefully. A
Federal SO! Soil Survey was started this
ships were completed this fall. The
work will be resumed next spring and
finished by fall. When finished, a map
showing the topography and the diff
ferent types of soil in each township
will be printed and distributed free to
the people of the county. This should
prove a very valuable aid to the farm
ers. I have samples of the Soil Sur
vey Maps of each township in which
the work has been completed. Also,
have samples of the different kinds of
soil found i'm this section of the county
By having this survey work done, I
was able to get a reduced price on the
individual soil analysis. The price be-
ing $500 for 100 acres, which was for
merly $500. Samples have been taken
of 81 farms and analysis are being
made now. Reports will be explained
at meetings held this winter the same
as at meetings that were held last
winter. These reports will be a valua-
BILE aid to the farmer in solving his
soil problems.

speech to expounding the virtues Of
the honor system and advocating g
prisoners parole law.
II don't know the cause of the
explosion at the Fourteenth street
bridge" said Mr.. Logan. who pre-
sided over the meeting. but know
that 1t was instigated for the pur-
pose Of creating public opinion in
favor OF the railroads.
mo such deed would ever get the
sanction or the sympathy Of our
own men. 1t is to our interest to
preserve order and avoid violence or
violent acts, and we have endeavor-
ed and are endeavoring to do so.
1.-THE explosion was a plot or plan
to get public opinion against the
striking shop men. The act was
something these good, patriotic
American citizens would not think
of perpetrating."
Mr.. Logan's declaration was ap-
plauded by an audience that filed

and which contained a number of
women.
Mr.. Davis the boilermakers' repre-
sentative. who spoke later, said a
workman as an individual had no
chance whatever to protect his own
interests, and that only through or
ganized unions could he gain his
rights.
Referring to the explosion. Mr..
Davis said:
'I have been through strikes be-
fore. and 1 know from experience
that railroads will plant these bombs
and cause explosions pur-
posely TO win public sympathy. But
I notice that when they do have
such explosions the explosives are so
planted as not to cause loss of life
or interfere seriously with traffic.
''The truth is that the wrecks
which are being recorded in the !
papers daily are caused by de-
fective equipment. The maintenance |
Of way men are still on the job,
and the tracks are kept in repair. |
The locomotives and cars are not
however"
In his address on the honor sys-
tenn and proposed parole law, War
den Plummer declared, "A prison
should make a man and not break
him" He added that kindness does
A great deal OF good and that 'lots
