REPUBLICAN SLATE
BAKER CITY MAVERICK
TALKS SOME POLITICK.
Sanies C, A. Johns for Governor, S.
A. Ixiwcll for Cwigress, and Mal
colm Moody for the I'nlted Stall's
Senate Review of Slate Politics,
Past, Present and I'n tine.
The Buk-r City Maverick, edited
by L. Hush I.lverniore and James
Conncllu, prints the following enter
taining. If not wh'My true, review of
the political situation In Oregon, sup
plemented by a "slate" for the next
republican slate convention:
Somebody down in Portland Is put
ting up a Job on .Jawn Hand. He has
been mentioned as a candidate for
congress from the Second district, to
oppose the aspirations of Malcolm A.
Moody, who Is slated for the race he
fore the direct primaries.
This may be a Job on both .lawn
and Malcolm A. a plan to bury Jawn
nnd to sidetrack Malcolm. It is writ
ten In the sturs that Oregon will send
Moody back to Washington but not
as u member of the lower house. It
Is also written that Oregon the new
Oregon, politically speaking will not
make Jawn Rand a congressman from
the Second district, or any other dis
trict. He may eventually be presi
dent, minister to the court of St.
James, envoy to the state of Swat, or
consul to Cockalorum.
But congressman! Not on your
photo button! Moody Is by long odds
the biggest man In the republican
party In Oregon east of the moun
tains. Even eliminate that final
(nullifying phrase, and truth remains.
The biggest mistake the party ever
made was when It defeated Moody
for re-election to congress und chose
J. Newt Williamson.
If the party has a red corpuscle of
good red blood In Its veins, It should
acknowledge its error manfully, and
after apologizing, make reparation,
not by granting Moody's wish to rep
resent the Second district In the con
gress of the I'nlted States, but by rec
ognizing his qualifications and well-
earned right to represent this state In
the most distinguished legislative
body In the world the senate.
As a matter of cold, hard and nuked
truth, Moody was one of the best
congressmen ever sent from Oregon
to Washington by the domlnunt party.
He did things back there In the na
tlonal capital he earned his salary.
and that's a whole lot to say about a
public servant these days. What he
did ns congressman he will do as sen
ator. I
The mnverlck who writes this,
painfully admits that he fought Moody
for re-election In the last state con
vention. He is heartily asham -ci of
himself an adniissfon which muy or j
may not he relevant to a discission
of Moody's qualifications; but this
much is Impossible of refutation:
There are big bunches of republicans
in this second district who are like
wise ashamed of themselves, and
would welcome a chance to ease their
consciences and Incidentally honor a
good man by giving him a boost to
ward the I'nlted States senate.
Now, here's a little slate that looks
pretty good. It Is made out of good
timber. It may not be particularly
palatable to republicans on the web
foot slope, hut It's good. Just the same:

TAXING BACHELORS.
r4naltle Hare Often Been Imposed
lu Various Countries.
Bachelors as candidates or probation
;rs for marriage have formed the sub
led for legislation from the earliest
times. Penalties have often been Im
posed ou mule celibate in various
countries. In proportion ati the Inter
ests of '.lie state were regarded us
above those of the Individual the en
forcement of marriage was the more
severe. In ancient fcpurtu it was con
sidered a punishable crime uot to mar
ry or to iiiurry too late lu life. In
Athens, though not severely punished,
celibacy was discouraged in earl
times.
At Koine marrluge was fostered by
positive penalties Imposed on unmar
ried men and sometimes eveu on wom
en us well as by discrl initiation In favor
of beads of families. In the allotment
of the Campauian lands by Julius Cue
sar portions were given only to the fa
thers of three or more children. Under
Augustus n law was enacted prohibit
ing unmarried persons Mow the age
of sixty in men unJ fifty in women
from taking possession of u legacy, un !
this was applied even to willows, who.
lu order to secure their part of their de
ceased husband's estates, were foivel
to marry again within u period of two
years.

So fur as insects of the caves are

gradually undergo is siitiiclently well
understood. The first step Is a de

less. It would be most Interesting to
breed these or other blind creatures ol

If they would get their sight bnck.
In nil nnlninls. Including man, it Is
found that nature tries to coins?nsnte
for loss of vision by increasing the

MQREDRY FARMING
T III! CAMPBELL SYSTEM"
HAS A SCIENTIITC BASE.
And Has ISecu a Success Wlicrever
ProM-i-Iy and Consistently Tried
Clin Ik' Made to lie of til eat Vuluo
hi I'jistern Oregon and Eastern
Washington In Its Essentials It Is
a System of Dust .Mulching to Coti
erve the Natural Water Supply.
Colonel It. C. Judson, Industrial
ugent of the (). R. & N'., bus returned
to Portland, from a trip Into Eastern
Washington, where he has introduced
a system of "dry farming," such as
Is successfully carried on In Kansas
and Nebraska, says the Pacific Home
stead. He finds that by summer fal
lowing the dry, unwatered soil at cer
tain seasons, the Blight rainfall of the
district Is conserved and held In the
ground until needed by the growing
crops. Alfalfa is said to thrive on
this treatment, and certain furmers of
the Inland Empire will try this sys
tem us an experiment. It Is believed
It will be highly successful In this
seml-arld section of the Northwest.
Colonel Judson said: "The more I
examine into dry land farming as It Is
conducted In Nebraska and Kansas,
under what Is called the Campbell
system, the more I am Impressed with
the need of such tilling of the soil In
Eastern Oregon and Washington.
Dry land farming as is conducted on
farms that I have visited Is the rais
ing of crops where the precipitation
is light, ranging from 10 to 13 inches,
and that during the winter and up
to May. The virgin soil or bench soil,
as it is usually termed, is volcanic
ash. with some silt or washing from
the mountains. I has good retentive
powers, and it being rich In mineral
plant food makes It ideal land, need
ing only moisture to produce the fin
est crops. But water is nceaea. ana
the source of supply, whether used as
nature brings it, or it Is applied arti
ficially. When rain falls upon land, j
whether hard or compact, some of It
may penetrate the soil and some of It
may run off. The proportion in either
ense depends upon the heaviness of
the showers, the heaviness of the land
and the slope. From what I have
observed and from examinations oi
the soil. I find that when the soil Is
hard and compact, the moisture evap
orates very rapidly from the surface
Into the air. On the other hand. If
the land Is plowed to the depth of
eight or 10 Inches the rain percolates
down deep Into the soil, to be again
brought to the surface by capillary
attraction.
..tjlt ureolc t went to Franklin
! :ind examine the seven
different
j farms upon which R
B. Miller, gen
eral freight ngent, is testing the rais
ing of dry land alfalfa and also the
growing of corn on the summer fal
low. I found the acreage of wheat
less this year In the county, owing to
the fact of the land being summer
fallowed: but the crops of grain are
fully up to last year as far as one can
Judge from the yield. The grain Is
out of danger and free from weeds.
Harvesting has Just begun. Now as
regnrds the dry land alfalfa, will say
that I never saw finer. May sown
alfalfa on soli where they had to go
150 feet to water, that was 15 Inches
tall, dark nnd of a very rank growth:
roots 13 to 14 inches In length, and
ready for the first cutting, heing par
tially In blossom.
"On Mr. Cooper's farm, five and
one-half miles from Washtucnn. I
found he had sown nn acre on rcsu-
lar hnMnnn soli, anil It was kiokhik
fine and the soil was dried out so
that It was hard to even get a sharp
stick into It. It was new land. Just
plowed for the first time. Another
piece was In soli that was simply ash.
one sinking In to the depth of two to
three inches at every step. Mr.
Cooper, who is one of the largest and
best farmers in that county. Is more
than pleased and will put In a large
tract next year and commence to di
versify, raising hogs, cattle nnil horses
on alfalfa. His corn was extra fine,
standing four and one-half feet in
height. Tills had been cultivated four
times, while at other farms only one
cultivation had been given, nnd thnt
stanillng three feet In height.
"To sum up: The experiments In
dry land alfalfa and corn on summer
fallow in that country are very grati
fying, and set nt rest the fact that the
dry land alfalfa will grow to perfec
tion there, also that fine corn can be
grown on the summer fnllow.
"I succeeded in securing promises
from some of the leading farmers to
commence to summer fallow their
land ns soon ns the first rain comes
In the fall. Instead ot In the spring,
nnd thnt way conserve the moisture,
the farmers agreeing to plow the land
eight L.chcs deep instead of four In
ches. Further experiments will be
made next Benson on the summer fal
low, as Mr. Miller Is desirous of having
something grown where at present
nothing Is grown on the summer fal
low." Wages of Belgian Ijicc Makers.
