term used by John Hayes Hammond,
world famous mining engineer in a
discussion in Nations Business of the
silver question, the topic that is hold

is of vital importance to the Inland
Empire and the northwest.
A development of the past week is
the effort of British Columbia to
arouse Great Britain which was chrys-
talized in a cablegram sent to Premier
Bennett in London to urge on the i'm
perial conference, which he is attend

Stock Feeding Boosts Wheat.

SPOKANE.--J. NJ Chiffon of Chi
cage, general manager Of the Farm
ers' National Grain corporation, in adj
dressing the Washington Farmer
luncheon at the Spokane Hotel, Spo-
kane, October a, urged the Inland En-
pire farmers to feed wheat to their
stock. He drew a graphic picture of
the heavy movement of wheat being
used as stock feed as result of the
summer drought cutting down the
corn yield.
This movement is of proportions not
yet realized by the public" he said,
"but it will be manifest before many
months have passed. The Farmers Ma
tional and Independent concerns are
selling several carloads of wheat daily
at the larger middle west terminals
purely for feeding purposes.
Il understand the feeding of wheat
in the Pacific northwest is increasing
The pity is the insufficient number Of
hogs in this territory to consume such
feed. We have reports from the mid
die west where wheat fed to hogs has
returned the farmer the equivalent Of
Sl.25 bushel"

WALSH STANDS FOR BENEFIT
TO GREATEST NUMBER

The attitude of Senator Walsh in his
consideration of every legislative meas
ure, and his final decision on whether
to support or to oppose any bill, is al
ways based on the best interests of the
great majority of his constituency. The
interests of cliques, however influential,
groups, however powerful, carry only
the weight they deserve with him in
making his decisions.
This he has evidenced time and
again. His recent votes on sections of
the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill, are out
standing examples of this characteristic
so in accord with his conscientious dis
charge of his duty as a representative
of all of the people of the state While
the powerful sugar interests with a
large plant in Montana, exerted pres
sure Of every nature to secure a pro-
tective tariff, favorable to the industry,
the senator in his able analysis Of the
question, set forth in his senate speech
on March 4 this year, proved the in
dustry in its operations under the pres
ent tariff regulations had prospered He
also proved that the tariff which might
be of special advantage to the already
prosperous sugar industry, would re-
act to the disadvantage Of the greater
portion of the population Of the state
and he voted accordingly and brought
his influence to bear for their best in
terest.
His vote on the tariff on crude oil
was predicated on the same grounds;
the interests of the majority--the con-
sumner.
He lives up to the demands of his
conscience and his principles. He is
with the common people, always.
