Clatsop Talking of Him. to
Lead Legislative Ticket
CONVENTION TO Bfe HELD TODAY
Men Slated for Nominations to Lower
Hobsc Meeting Likely to Be
Asked to Take Hand in Contest
for Cnstom-HoHBe.
ASTORIA, March 2?. Republican lead
ers were busy today fixing up the Legis
lative ticket to be nominated by the con
vention tomorrow. Slates "were made and
unmade with almost lightning rapidity,
and still the matter Is not fully settled.
The slate this evening 1b: C. W. Fulton
for Senator, with C. W. Carnahan and A.
Scherneckin for Representatives, but even
this ticket is not satisfactory to all con
cerned, and may be changed before the
convention meets.
The convention tomorrow will probably
be asked to take a hand in the contest
over the Custom-House. The term of
the present Collector of Customs at this
port expired some weeks ago, and the
applications for the position are numer
ous, but th Congressional and county
delegations decided to withhold their se
lection until after the June election. Now,
however, some of the aspirants are get
ting anxious and an effort will be made to
have the county convention give its In
dorsement to one of the candidates, and
thus force the members of the delega
tions to fall into line.
TICKET DISMAYS DEMOCRATS.
Marlon Conntjr Republicans Have Vp
Exceptionally Strong Men.
SALEM, March 27. Marion County
Democrats took no small interest in the
Republican convention yesterday, and
they seem not well pleased with the re
sult. The ticket is generally admitted
by them to be an exceptionally strong
one. They had lioped to see a ticket put
up m such a manner that they could de
feat a few of its candidates. While they
have not given up entirely, they are
perceptibly discouraged with the out
look. Marion County is Republican by an
average plurality of about 500 votes.
Bad management of county affairs a few
years ago encouraged the Democrats and
Populists to attack the Republican
county tickets with some hope of vic
tory. But during the last four years
good management has lifted the county
out of debt and placed it on a cosh
basis. With this record behind them, the
Republicans have nominated a county
ticket of good, strong men of recognized
ability. .Under the circumstances, the
Democrats have little, If any hope of
successfully availing it.
The Democratic primaries wiH-,be held
March 29 and the convention on April
E. Democrats say they will put out a
full ticket, and expect to make their
strongest fight on the Legislative ticket
Since they cannot talk of needed reforms
in county matters, they will make the
campaign on a demand for reforms In
state affair?. They will advocate the en
actment of laws placing all officers on
flat salaries and abolishment of the fee
system; economy In state appropriations,
and other euch popular appeals to the
voters.
So far as can be learned, no Republi
cans are expressing dissatisfaction with
the ticket It is generally approved, and
apparently if the Democrats win they
must da so on the strength-of their
platforms. The Republican candidates
are pledged to economy and advocacy
of the fiat-salary system. The Demo
cratic county convention will endeavor
to find some way to go the Republicans
one better, and find a programme that
will catch independent voters.
"The Democrats are at sea Just at
present as to probable candidates, and
will studj the situation very carefully
before naming their ticket. Unless they
can find some open dissatisfaction among
the Republicans, they wilL be obliged to
fight with only such advantage as per
sonal popularity of candidates, .geographi
cal :ocation and party platforms may gli-e
them. The Republicans do riot believe
their adversaries can gain any advantage
in any of these particulars.

lican members of the Sennte committee on
the Philippines were in session today,
considering the Philippine Government
bill. The sub-committee having In hand
the portion of legislation relating to the

had not prepared Its report, but, after

committee stated that there was practical
unanimity in favor of permitting the pres

remain undisturbed.
DISPOSING OF FRIAR LANDS.
Question May Be Settled Before
Sbarretti Leaves Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 27. Archbishop
Sbarretti and his secretary. Mgr. Bro.de
rick, called at the War Department ko
day and had a short conference with
Secretary Root. The prelates will remain
in Washington about a week, for the
purpose of affording the officials here any
Information In their power touching the
pending religious questions in the Philip
pines. It appears that the issue now presented
to the Government here is one of ex
treme interest to the Catholic Church.
Primarily, It revolves Itself into the
question whether the settlement of the
Philippine friar land problem shall be
effected at Manila or whether it shall
be adjusted at Rome. Archbishop Sbar
retti, becoming Archbishop of Manila,
will be the nominal owner of all tho lands
and real properties belonging to the friar
orders In the PhIHpplnes. Therefore, he
wduld be the person to whom applica
tion In such case would be made by the
Philippine Commission and the transfer
of properties would be accomplished In
the usual and ordinary legal means com
mon to condemnatory proceedings, such
as are provided for In the pending Philip
pine government bllL
But another proposition Is under con
sideration at the White House, and that
Is to have the proceedings conducted at
the Vatican by tho religious superiors of
Archbishop Sbarretti on the one hand
and by a legal representative of the
United States Government onthe other.
In such cases It has been suggested that
Governor Tnft might stop at Rome on
his return by the eastward route to1 the
Philippines. This proposition Is under
stood to be strongly urged by Archbishop
Ireland and Archbishop O'Gorman, who
would possibly, in the event of Its adop
tion, accompany the first representative
of the United States Government to i-islt
tho Vatican In official capacity. It Is
expected the Administration will dedlde
as between these conflicting propositions
before the departure from Washington of
Archbishop Sbarretti.
Mgr. Sbarretti later called on the Presi
dent. He stated that he had simply
called to pay his respects.

A lamb with two heads and seven legs
Is a freak that appeared on ono of the
leading ranches the other day, says the
Boise Stitesman. It Is probably tho most
remarkable monstrosity of the kind that
has ever been known. There la a head at
each end of the creature, and one pair of
legs under each end and one in the mid
dle, whllo the seventh leg protruded from
the side at the middle. Thero are two
tails on one side at the middle. There Is
ono backbone and one set of intestines.
The creature was taken from the mother,
and was killed in the operation. Another
remarkable feature of this case was that
the sheep gave birth to si normally de
veloped lamb after being delivered of the
monstrosity. The freak has been mount
ed and will be presented to some museum.
ESSENTIALS IN DAIRYING
CREAM SEPARATOR AND BABCOCK
TEST AMONG THEM.
Professor Kent Explains Their Valae
at Farmers' Instltnte Timely
Talk by Dr. WIthycdmbe.
CARLTON Or., March 27. Tho people
of this vicinity met last night with rep
resentatives of the Oregon Agricultural
College for a discussion of dairy topics,
J. A. Cunningham presided, and first in
troduced Professor F. L. Kent, who dis
cussed what he considered the two most
important factors in the modern develop
ment of the dairy industry the cream
separator and the Babcock test.
Professor Kent said In part:
"Tho cream separator Is the only means
by which practically all the butter may
bo taken out of the milk. The old methods
of removing cream from milk easily leave
an average of one-fifth of the butter fat
in the eklm milk, while tho separator
should not leave more than one-fortieth,
and some do considerably better work
than this. The uso of the hand separator
brings the creamery within reach of many
milk producers who could not afford to
haul their milk the- long distances re
quired. It also rankes It possible for the
producers to patronize a creamery many
mlle distant by enabling him to ship hb
cream by rail.
"A man to be successful in dairying,
however, must not only be able to get tho
greatest amount of cream from his milk,
but must also know whether each Cow
Is producing enough milk and butter fat
to pay a profit, and this can only be -determined
by the use of the Babcock test
and the scales. Every successful dairy
man of the present day knows what each
cow In his herd will test, and how much
milk and butter fat fihe will produce an
nually." Dr. James WIthycombe addressed the
meeting o'n vital questions connected with
dairy operations. He said In part:
"Our farming In the past has been main,
ly without thought of the future. The
growing of wheat has been practiced al
most to the exclusion of other remunera
tive crops, and tho fertility of the land
has been gradually reduced. Dairying
keeps up the fertility of tho land, and it
will be richer under such treatment 100
years hence than at the present. We can
not expect to dairy successfully on, pas
ture. We must grow clover, vetches and
other forage crops, and thereby make
every two acres of the farm sustain a cow.
Besides .being valuable as a forage crop,
thee leguminous plants have the power
of utilizing nitrogne from the atmosphere,
thus Increasing the plant food In the soil.
The Idea that we cannot compete with
tho states of the Middle West In the pro
duction of butter is erroneous. With our
ability to produco large quantities of food
on our comparatively cheap lands, we can
easily overcome the differences in freight
rates .and by shipping in carload lots suc
cessfully compete with the states of the
Middle West In the New York markets.
"Don't think just any old cow will make
you a successful dairyman. Don't think
you can be successful and milk with one
hand Into a tin cup from one side of the
cow while the calf Is getting tho lion's
share from tha other side. Don't think
you can secure rich milk and plenty of
It by giving the cow no more protection
than is fumlehed by the sheltered side of
a barbed-wire fence. Don't get the Idea
that you can make a success by having
your cows freshen Just as the grass is
coming on In the Spring, and having an
abundance of milk when every one else
has. and then letting the cows go dry
about harvest time. It Is the Winter dairy
ing that pays besjt." 1
A very Instructive Illustrated lecture on
"Breeds and Types of Livestock,'' closed
the programme. In this discussion. Dr.
WIthycombe pointed out the essential
characteristics of a dairy cow arid a beef
cow, contrasting the two types very
strongly by means of actual photographs
reproduced on the screen. Attention was
also called to undesirable features In these
classes of farm stock. Some very Inter
esting questions relating to the production
of wool were also Illustrated, particularly
the matter of pigment-bearing wool, andi
the effect on the wool of tne use of certain
sheep clips.

A. whirl of excitement was
recently caused in the scien
tific world by the news that
the mystery of nerve action
has been solved.
It is announced that healthy
nerves are fat nerves and
that it is the fat in the core of
the nerve which is sensitive
and by hardening and soften
ing: creates nerve action.
Maybe this explains why
Scott's Emulsion has always
been such a remarkable remedy
for nervousness.
Scott's Emulsion feeds thin
nerves with the best of all fats,
the pure cod-liver oil and
strengthens them with the best
of nerve tonics, the hypophos
phites. For all forms of nervousness
and neuralgia take Scott's
Emulsion.
