T here will be 476 votes In the elec
toral college this year. In the last pres
idential election 447 votes were cast.
The increase of 29 is due to the reap
portionment of representatives under
the census of 1900. The importance of
the rest of the country over the East
has been increased In the proportion of
nineteen to ten, as of the additional
votes nine goto the South, ten to the
various sections of the West and the re
maining ten votes go to the states east
of the Alleghanies.
T he United States Supreme Court
has decided the long-pending case be
tween the United States and the Cali
fornia atd Oregon Land Company, in
volving the ownership of land in the
Klamath Indian Reservation in Ore
gon, In which it was claimed by the
land company under the grant to the
Oregon Military Central Wagon Road
Company, made in 1864. The decision
was favorable to the company and
against the Government. There are
90,000 acres of land involved, and L is
valued at *1,500,000. The Chief Justice
and Justices Harlan and Brown dis
sented from the decision.
T he private postal card in imitation
of the real Uncle Sam article is doom
ed. From Washington comes the fact
that it is a violation of the United
States law, and therefore unmailable.
However, the government has no de
sire to cause any loss to business firms
that have been using these cards, and
gives them until July 1st to get rid of
their stock on band. Until that date
the imitation postal cards will be trans
mitted through the mails, provided
they have the necessary postage affix
ed; but after that date no amount of
stempecan insure their delivery, for
they will be heli up at the starting
point.
"C olonel ” H ofer ’ s effort to show
that the Indian War veterans were men
who led lives of enjoyment while ac
cumulating wealth through gold dis-
. coveries is not a very creditable under
taking. The story of the hardships en
dured by men who left family, friends
and firesides to defend organized gov-
eminent against treacherous Indians is
fresh in the minds of the people,though
half a century has passed. Men who
fearlessly incurred the greatest dan
gers, subsisted upon food not alwajs
good in quality nor sufficient in quanti
ty, and stood guard in scanty clothing
through wintry storms of snow and
aleet, have earned the gratitude of two
great Pacific States. As the years roll
on this appreciation will not wane, nor
can it be lessened by the heartless va
porings of one who came in years of
peace to make his home and build his
fortunes In a beautiful land prepared
for him by the valor and perseverance
of the veterans of the Indian wars, says
the Oregonian.
T he burial of another congressman
during the last week recalls the exist
ence of a crying evil In the matter of
congressional funerals, which both
parties are responsible for and ought
to combine to eradicate. Whenever
a member dies the ’‘etiquette" which
Congress has established requires that
a large committee of ten to twenty-five
from both houses be appointed to es
cort the body home; that one or more
Pullman sleepers shall be chartered by
the government; they shall be stocked
withall sorts of food and drink, and
that the committee and their friends
shall go for a week more, upon a
junket. These funerals cost from 95,000
to 925,000 each. The champagnes are
of the rarest brand and the cigars fur
nished cost 50c to 91 apiece, and each
with its aroma is enclosed in a separate
vial. On many occasions some mem
bers of the committee have become so
intoxicated as not to be able to attend
the funeral. Can such a disgraceful
custom be terminated too soon?
M ark H anna ’ s monumental hypoc
risy was never so vividly exhibited as
in his article against Socialism in the
February National Magazine. He
warns the country against the grow-
ng systems of co-operation among
workingmen and tbe widening senti
ment In favor of a community ot inter
usts among the masses, but never a
word of condemnation for the voracious
trust«. Never one sentiment against
the combination and co-operation of
capital for 'business purposes. Never
one word against a selfish system of
favoritism which has been the bane of
the masses and the enthronement of
the few in this government. Union
among the people he brands as a dan
gerous tendency because of the lack of
experienced heads to guide such an enor
mous force as tbe united people. Or
ganization and co-operation are right
and proper among capitalists. Com
munity of Interests are beneficial among
large concerns, but dangerous among
the thinking, patient, sovereign peo
ple of the nation. Hanna’s talk about
devoting his remaining years to the
restoration of the rights of the masses
is one that would be Interesting to
Americans If his past record and pres
ent practices on this
thia subject were not
so well known to every schoolboy.

Doors.
San Francisco, Feb. 4.—Bolton, De
Ruyter A Co., the well known grain,
itock and bond brokers, have closed
their doors. Today they will meet
their creditors and discuss plans for a
settlement. Mr. de Ruyter says the I
manager of the flrm, Richard Genung,
»nd the bookkeeper, Daniel O’Connell,
falsified the accounts to the amovnt
•f 1100,000.
The moment the members of
firm found they had been victimize
tor such a large amount they decided
to suspend business. Experts were
called In a few days ago and the
amount has been growing larger and
larger under Investigation.
Their
eastern brokers, Logan A Bryan of
New York, were informed that they
would suspend business and now both
members of the firm are awaiting the
result of the experts’ work to see how
they stand in the financial world. De
Ruyter and Bolton are wealthy men
and claim that all creditors will be
paid dollar for dollar. De Ruyter said I
last night that no criminal action
would be taken against either Genung
or O’Connell, as he considered the ac
tion of the employes only a breach ot

LATE NEWS IN BRIEF
Th«“ Mooted QneHtioa of I «Ing Water
With Silo Corn.
Some five or six years ago I built a
building after a plan I saw In Hoard’s
Dairyman and divided it in the cen
ter, making two silos of about 100 tons
capacity each, says a corresi>ondent of
tlie paper mentioned. The plan calk'd
for the frame going horizontally around
and spikt>d together, with corners in
side cut off, which I did not do, and I
wish to say that the silo has never
sprung out of shape. It was loarded
double Inside, with tar or wax paper
between, and ciapboarded on tbe out
side ou to up and dowu slats of three
or four Inches in width.
Now for the experience. One of my
neighbors who had a silo told me my
corn was so ripe (It was all glazed and
fit to cut for the old way of harvesting
and husking) thut if I did not put on
some water It would heat and dry out,
or, as we call IL "fire fang,” and be
worthless. He did uot say how much
to put on, aud I calculated that the
heat would be great aud It would need
quite an amount; therefore I put forty
barrels on each silo of 100 tons. I had
very flue ensilage, and, feeding two
bushel baskets to each cow per day
with all the grain that grew on the
stalks, they improved In flesh and gave
a good supply of milk. The milk was
fine, and there was no taste of ensilage
either In the milk or butter made.
A friend of mine who put his In the
silo In the milk stage of tbe corn had
to stop feedlug his eusilage because of
the milk tasting so that his customers
would not take it We have continued
to let the corn ripen and wet it when
put Into the silo, with the exception of
one year my sou thought he would not
wet It, and-the consequence was that
we lost several tons of ensilage, and It
was largely in the square corners,
which I could hardly account for. but
{while Inside mending the bottom of the
silo last year (by the way, seven and
one-half feet of the silo Is in the
ground, or as low as tbe bottom of the
cellar w tie re the cows are tied up) 1
had some water left, and as I stood
there I threw it up against the hem
lock siding Inside and was surprised to
see how quickly It dried off, and then
It came to me that the dry siding,
drawing so much moisture from the
ensilage and double the amount in the
square corners, was the source ot tbe
loss of so much ensilage in tbe square
corners as is complained of every year.
I concluded to try an experiment on
la$t year's ensilage when put in and
put on sixty barrels of water to each
silo and put fully one-half of it Into
the corners and against the siding. The
result was all I could ask. not a bushel
of spoiled ensilage. Rather than put
on less water I would put a barrel to a
ton of ensilage.
I would suggest to all that have silos
to thoroughly saturate them with wa
ter or wet the ensilage and let the
tramping of the silage go. as it will be
heavy enough to take care of Itself.

The Albino Deer.
Toe Scientific American has the
foil «wing regarding tbe Albino d< er
killed in Josephine county some
m nths sioce:
«, An albino deer, with a coat as
wli.te as the drifting snows eyes a
délicat? pink and with a tread as soft
and di-creet as an elk fawn, was killed
in the Canyon mountains of Southern
On gon recently. It was one of the
ve y few albino deer ever 9een in the
mountains of the west. Old hunters
tell of seeing them, usually separate
from the mun herds, and at various
tim is during the early d iy-; but they
wt re too shy and disen el to be ap
proached near enough for a shot.
The deer which was killed in the
Can)on mountains was with four
other deer at the time it was found,
and had thi- not been tiue the hunters
would not have taken it for a deer.
Its a il I tecoat male it far more con
spicuous than tbe remainder of the
he d, and it Is perhaps for this reason
only albino deer are shunned by their
mates.
The albino deer bears exactly the
same relatioo to the deer family that
th< albino of the American race does
to human kind. Aside from its white
coat and pink eyes It is like all other
deer; possibly its fur is softer and
more silky.
The specimen found in the pine
forests of the Canyon mountains will
be made a part of the exhibitor albino
mammals at tbe Smithsonian Insti*

West Indian type, which is the only
one found in the markets of eastern
United States, yields a fruit about the
size of the largest pears. The varieties
differ considerably In form and range
from deep purple to light green In col

eaten is a pulp which surrounds a sin

Minnesota grower has beeu bow
to protect hla fruit against such trying
conditions. On the approach of winter
the trees should be mulched to protect
them from root killing. This mulch
may consist of any strawy material or
stable litter, and even a small amount
of it will protect from root killing,
which Is liable to "be especially Injuri
ous In severe winters when tbe ground
is bare, and It should be generally un
derstood that In this section we are
quite likely to have the ground bare in
winter.—Professor 8. B. Green of Mln

Winter Prtratn* Vndeairable.
In pruning it is very Important that
the healing process should start soon
after the wound Is made; otherwise the
cambium will be killed back quite a
distance from the exposed surface and
healing will be greatly retarded. FSor
this reason winter pruning should be
avoided, partk-ulariy tn frosty weather.
In the early fall or late spring the cam
bium is active, and wounds made at
this time start to heal at once and there I
is little or no dying back of the cam
blum.—W. W. Hutt. Canada.

When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
This remedy liquifies the tough mu-
us and causes its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs, produces a free
expectoration, and opens the secre
tions. A complete cure soon follows.
This remedy will cute a cold in less
time than any other treatment and it
leaves the system in a natural and
healthy condition. It counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia

greens which are more beautiful In tion reading this generous offer in this paper
winter than In sunrner because of the
pretty color of their foliage at that sea
son. and not the least among them Is
the Robinson's Golden Arborvltte,
Thuya (Biota) eiegantissima. In tbe
summer time It has golden colored tips,
especially when making new growth.
As soon as cold weather comes the
whole of the exposed foliage becomes
of a flame color and is especially bril
liant when exposed to the sun. In
fact, when overshadowed by trees or
buildings it colors hardly at all. Its
best position Is one entirely open. Tbe
habit of growth of this arborvltre Is
intermediate between the upright
growing common Chinese and the
bushy, slow growing Golden Arborvitae.
Set out of a height of about two feet it
would be some years before it would
be four.
Good companions In tbe way of
pleasing winter colors are the Retlnls-
pora pislfera aurea, the foliage of
which becomes of a golden yellow, and
the Douglas Golden Juniper. The col
or of the latter Is of a rich, golden
bronze, something unique among ever
greens. This juniper Is of a rather i
flat spreading growth, fitting It for
positions which the more upright ever
greens could not fill.
