Sun sets 5:58. rises 6:23; moon rises 11:07 p. m. This is also a great year for steal ing thunder and the clothes of poli ticians in swimming. In Mexico few presidents die, but under present circumstances the in augural preferred seems to be a re signation. Italy's Parliament has annexed Tripoli, and now the question will be how to get hold of the garment as well as the fringe. Sometimes Democracy is spelled with a big D, sometimes with a little d, and sometimes, if too radical, with a prefix of two d's. Whatever the express companies may have to say in the line of de fense the plea of poverty strikes the public as the least forcible. GARFIELD Professor C. J. Lewis and R. W. Rease instructed over one hudred in terested persons at the state orchard. People came from near Vancouver, Washington, Sycamore, George Cur rinsville. Eagle Creek, Sprinwater, and other piaces to become acquainted with the professor and his assistant. Those coming from a distance were met by W. M. Tracy, D. Trapp and Phil Standish with wagons and driven to the place where the demonstration was held. Those coming to our part of Oregon for the first time were well pleased with the country, some wish ing they could locate with us. The Professor thinks he -will be able to give the next demonstration in June or July, when we expect a much larger crowd to attend. ' Several are planting pits for nursery stock, as this part grows stock that cannot be excelled, and they will be sure of their trees. Mr. Orison who purchased the thir ty acre tract from Epperson has it in fine shape to set but trees. It is an improvement to be proud of and we wish him success in his work. He three teams and four or five men em ployed in clearing the old orchards and putting in the new. R. Denning who purchased Eman uel Krigbaum's place is busy putting the ground in shape to plant Loganber ries, which do well in this locality, as grow all kinds of berries. We can say it is no experiment as the berry is a success here. Mrs. Wm. Davis, we are sorry to say is no better. She has been a great sufferer for more than three months, Not able to lie down- to rest, in all that time. The trouble is in her lower limbs. They show no improvement. THE CANAL IS OURS. The Senate has learned that Eng. land has already formally acknowled ged the right of the United States to fortify the Panama Canal, and that, therefore, that question can never be brought up under the pending Anglo- American arbitration treaty, which the Senate is to act upon next week. A letter read in the Senate, written by Secretary John Hay, who aided in framing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty dealing with the canal matter, said that the whole theory of that pact was . that "the canal Is to be entirely Amer ican. The enormous cost of construc tion is to be borne by the United States alone. When constructed it Is to be exclusively the property of the United States, and is to be managed controlled and defended by it." These are the words of a man who was secretary of state under McKin ley, and also under Roosevelt, and who knew what he was talking about They take all the point out of the ar gument of the small, but noisy fac tion, who say that England will be angry If we fortify the canal. As neither England nor any other coun try is paying a cent of the hundreds of millions of dollars of the cost of construction, and as all of the outlay is shouldered by the United States, the elemental dictates of internation al comity demand that -we should own it and defend it. It is part of our coast line, and we hare) just as much right to erect fortifications at its ter minals and anywhere else along it as we have to put up defense at Key West or New Orleans. Moreover, the work of fortifying the canal has already started. Under present plans this work will go hand in hand with construction. The canal builders will aid in erecting defenses as they go along. The construction of the waterways is in charge of army engineers, and they will direct the work of erecting defenses. A regi ment of infantry has already been sta tioned on the canal zone. This is to be followed by other regiments and by coast artillery. It is planned to have a brigade there in normal times, after the waterway is opened. Politics must be kept out of this great national question. The canal is American property, and its management and de fense must be dealt with on lines that are broadly and wholly American. Discouraging tha Boy.

POTATO MARKET HAS The potato market is showing a further advance in the price at coun try points, although it is stated that the southwestern markets refuse to follow the advance. For extra choice stock a number of carloads were purchased in the. Will amette valley at $135 per cental f. o. b. stations. This is a nickel above anything heretofore offered for this quality. The advance is due entirely to the speculation by dealers. Some of them are of the opinion that a sharp advance will be forced after the fir3t of the month and they are backing their judgement, in a limited way, by taking hold of supplies. N Others who are offering the advance are doing so because they already have liberal supplies and by paying a fraction more for a load or two, are thereby able to give the market an artificial stimulant. All interests now agree that as soon as the weather permits, shipments will start from Minnesota and Wiscon sin, thereby throwing additional com petition into the Arizona and Texas trade. Few new orders are coming from there; present purchases for that amount being for lots sold by dealers some weeks ago. The boosting by Japanese speculat ors in California is causing some loc al holders to stay out of the market. News sent from Stockton, California, is generally Inspired by speculators there.' One advice just made public says that potatoes are selling there at $2.50 per bag on the river bank. This is misleading because the same potatoes are being sold in San Fran cisco at $1.75 per cental, and stock is never purchased there by the bag. The average bag of potatoes in the river district weighs close to 120 pounds. No business is reported at Willam valley points for extra fancy potatoes Offers for these range around $1.60 per cental, but growers are asking more money.

An r.musing anecdote of Carlyle told In Allingham's diary, is also mention ed In his letters. William Black wrote to Allingham that It had always been one of the ambitions of his life "to see Carlyle face to face." and asking the poet to try to arrange for a five min utes' interview. Allingham brought about the desired meeting, at which Carlyle's inquiry. "Well, sir, and when are you going to seriously set about writing a book?" must have astonished the popular novelist. London Nation. Care of Birds. In an English treatise on the "Hy giene of Bird Keeping." by George Creswell. attention is called to the thoughtless practice of hanging birds in cages just above the level of the sashes of windows and to the mistak en kindness of hanging a cage in a cor ner of a sitting room or a kitchen near the ceiling. In the one case the bird is subjected to drafts and will in all probability develop catarrh and bron chitis, and in the other it lives in a vitiated atmosphere. GENIUS.

WHEN THE HARD WALLOP STINGS Tommy Dixon Tells of Effects of a Terrific Blow. In On Fight Kansas Scrapper Scored Knockout In Fifth Round, but He Had Fought Mechanically After First and Never Remembered the Battle. How does a fighter feel when he gets a wallop that sends him reeling half- iway across the ring and into the can vas? In answering that question some of the experiences of Tommy Dixon, the Kansas City lightweight, are inter esting. Tommy was engaged in a bout with a fighter named Lewis. In the first round Lewis landed a wallop on Dix on's head that left him stranded in the thought league. It was an awful wal- TOMMY DIXON, CRACK KANSAS CITY LIOHT- WEIGHT. lop, but it didn't knopk Dixon down; Just stunned him. Tommy stalled through the first round and went back to his corner without knowledge of what he did. He went back in the second round and fought hard. He re peated in the third and the fourth and finally knocked Lewis out in the fifth. A Crack on the Bean, Then Darkness. "And to" this day I have no recollec tion of entering the ring." says Dixon In speaking of that bout. "1 got u crack on the bean right on the jump and knew nothing during the remain der of the bout. They say 1 fought hard, but it must have been mechan ically, as I sure didn't know what 1 was doing. After the bout I went into a cafe to get something to eat. They asked me how I felt, but I couldn't re member being in a fight. I thought I had fallen and hurt my head and had not been allowed to enter the ring. I didn't know anything about it next morning, and I've ..never been able to remember anything of that fight." Dixon tells of another bout in which he fought mechanically almost to the end. It was his last mill with Jack White, one of Cleveland's sturdy Differs and a heavier man than Dixon. The second round was on. and Tommy got In front of a blow that sent him to the mat. He got up with his customary speed, but again went down before a well aimed wallop. Another biff sent him to the floor a third time, and that was the wallop that seDt Tommy's senses to the padded cell. Covered Up and Fought On. "I kept fighting.'" says Dixon, "but 1 didn't know much about what was go ing on. They say that I covered up most of the time and wasn't ait often after those three wallops in the sec ond; But something happened after five rounds. It was In the eighth. White hit me another Wallop that sent me reeling into the ropes just as the gong sounded. That blow brought my memory back. I felt the sting of the wallop, nnd suddenly I saw the ropes of the ring. A whole sea of faces rose up before me, and I noticed the gleam ing lights for the first time since the second round, I went to the corner and asked what round it was. They told me it was the eighth, ninth com ing up. ' I was surprised. In the next two rounds I stood and fought toe to toe with White. He beat me, but I came back strong after being absolute ly out of the fighting for five rounds that Is, as far as I knew." Soccer Football Draws 20,000 Average. English first division soccer matches averaged 20,000 spectators a game this season. A Taxidermist. "Now, Johnnie, define the word taxi dermist," said Miss Rodd. "A taxidermist Is a feller who runs a taxicab," said Johnnie. "No. dear," said Miss Rodd. "A taxi dermist is a man who stuffs birds. Have you never seen one doing his work?" "Yessum," said Willie.

Knox. Oopy right by American Press Association MRS. PHTLANDEB O. KNOX. By far the most Interesting side of the life of a public man or woman is the domestic side, and probably there la no woman in Washington's official set who could stand closer scrutiny from this viewpoint than Mrs. Pbilan der C Knox, wife of the secretary of state. Mrs. Knor- is very domestic in her tastes, although she ably assists ber husband in the social drties of his po aitlon. She has a special love of flow ers, and the charming fancy Is hen of always having her homes, both at Valley Forge, in Pennsylvania, and her" charming house at tbe capital, ndorn ed with violets arranged in cut glass bowls. When living at Valley Forge. Mrs. Knox takes a special interest in the flower garden and has much skill in raising plants. Many a delicacy finds its way to tbe White House ta ble under ber direction, for all tbe old fashioned accomplishments, like tbe making of pickles and preserves and Jellies, are known to her. Perhaps there are few women in public life who are better or more constant readers than Mrs. Knox. There Is a conveniently arranged light at tbe head of her bed. and one of ber fancies is for reading after she re tires. The residence of Secretary and Mrs Knox is one of the best adapted to en tertain on a large scale of any In Washington. It is situated on K street, one of tbe fashionable thor oughfares ' at tbe capital, and . Is of light buff brick, with white stone trimmings. Its generous entrance, wide windows and lofty appearance make it one of the most imposing rest dences In that part of the city. Every detail of tbe furnishing has been care fully thought out by its mistress from the rich lace stretched plainly over the great plate glass windows to tbe most minute furnishings. Everything is suggestive of elegance and good taste. The Family Bulletin Board. In a large family where the members go out a great deal a family bulletin board is a convenience. It may be of a sheet of celluloid, a small blackboard or a large slate with pencil attached and should be hung in a part of the bouse where all tbe members of tbe family pass at some time of the day. The dining room or the front ball would be a good place to hang it. On the bulletin board tbe family post notices of regular interest which they have forgotten to Impart at breakfast or dinner. One day's substance ran like this: "Had a letter from Mary Smith. Sbe wants Tom to send ber tbe address of that antique dealer where he bougbt the blue pitcher. Sue." "Won't be home to dinner tonight. Tom." "Don't forget the church supper Fri day. " There'll be no supper at home. Mother." "Has any one seen my tennis rack et? Jean." "Mrs. Henderson phoned: wants mother to call ber up as soon as she comes In. Jean." And so it goes. Messages, callers, telephone calls, neighborhood news, en gagements, lost and found articles, are tabulated here for tbe benefit of all. Tbe result is a surprising lessening of household friction. Occasionally some one pastes up a squib or joke or bit of Terse jsrbicb the rest of tbe family will n joy. Even the cook and housemaid use tbe bulletin board and like the (convenience of it The board may be washed whenever necessary. . WomfVi Compose Cabinet. Santa Monica.

And what will the harvest be? There is a popular impression that youth male, not female, youth must have its fling; that the sowing is a nec essary experience in the evolution of a man. But If so Why not let the girl also sow wild its? Why not let her gain her expe nce in scattering evil? )h, that's different," you say. low different? AVhat has the boy to iu by tbe knowledge and practice of il that a girl may cot gain? If the iy may sow with reckless hand and I'll settle down to an exemplary life li.v not the girl also? What about the whirlwind? He or she who sows wild oats must eap wild oats not wheat "What ver a man soweth that shall he also pap." And Not only must be reap the sort of t;rain he sows, but more than he sows. Evil propagates evil. A grain of wheat will "stool out" in the growing, pro ducing many stalks for the reaping, vhich makes a tough harvest. it is Bard work, this harvesting of evil seed. The stalks are tough and tangled, and the sweat must pour from the faces of the harvesters.
