FOR FIVE Jl'lKiES.
Ijiw Will He Introduced Increasing
the Supreme Court.
It Is given out on good authority'
that a bill will be Introduced In the
legislature next winter to Increase
the number of Judges of the supreme
court from three to five, says the Sa
lem Journal.
It Is a well known fact that the
supreme bench Is behind In Its work
and at the present time a very largo
number of suits of Importance are
piled up awaiting consideration. In
many Instances this works a big
hardship on the litigants and In some
Instances the decisions come too late
to give the remedy they otherwise
would carry.
As It Is, the Judges are overworked
and there Is always a temptation to
hurry In the work and not give the
cases the time and attention tluty are
entitled to.
However, ' It has never been said
that this has actually occurred In
Oregon, but the supreme Judges are
only human and, like every one else,
could probably do the work better If
they had less of It to do.
It Is not known what member of
the legislature will be sponsor for
this proposed bill, but It has been as
serted that a section will be Included
making It compulsory that not more
than three of the five members of
the new bench Bhall be of the same
political party.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST WHEAT RANCH
A correspondent for the Seattle
Slur, writing from UIIhs, Okla., de
scribes the world's blugest wheat
ranch, located on the Ponca Indian
ri'Hervatlon near there. The corres
pondent sayB:
This year's wheat crop In Oklaho
ma now Is being threshed, and Is
promising a record breaker. Figures
as to the yield in the whole territory
of course, arc lacking at this time,
but 101 ranch will do Its share to swell
the total with a crop estimated at
175,000 bushels.
Sounds big, doesn't It? Well, It's a
big ranch. There are 70,000 acres of
It. and 9000 acres devoted to wheat.
This 101 ranch Is where they do things
on a large scale.
Now, as to that wheat crop. Joe
Miller says and you believe him If he
does go about In his shirt sleeves and
wears nn ancient hat with sweat stains
clear out to the brim that beginning
some" three weeks ago. they had 48
harvesters harking off thu bearded
grain (poetical name for It). It took
three horses to drag each of these
harvesters, which were of the type
cutting a six-foot swath. Some of
these swaths were easily a mile long.
If you want to become statistical fig
ure out how many bushels to the mile.
reckoning 20 bushels to the acre.
And again, Joe Miller will tell you
with the other Miller boys to back
him up, that each of the machines
cost from $2000 to $3000. Also It Is
an undisputed and Indisputable fact
that It take 46 drivers to drive 46 har
vesters. Then there are' 23 water
haulers, twine haulers, etc., to say
nothing of a few superintendents and
a gang of men at the stables to feed
and harness the mules and horses.
If you are used to some small or
garden variety of farm. It will mean
something to you when you hear from
Joe Miller no relation to the Joker
of that name that he now has out
six threshing outfits, besides the
threshing machines. Each outfit
needs 10 bundle wagons, one cook
wagon and one water wagon. It calls
for a total of 60 drivers of bundle
wagons, six engineers, six separator
men. six water wagon drivers, six coal
haulers, six cooks, six assistant cooks.

saya It is one of the greatest labor--aving
device ever made. An em
ployer of 400 men can appreciate that.
By the way, there Is never any dearth
of harvest hands ut the 101 ranch.
Applicants always apply there first.
On the Miller runch the harvesters
eat and sleep In the field, as they are
from one to 10 miles away from the
house. A cook wagon, very much like
the owl lunch wagons you see down
town In cities, stays by them out In
the field.
There is a little counter In It and
stools for the men. while the rear Is
taken up with the cook stove and a
refrigerator. The men go to bed by
the Blmple process of lying down on
the ground, pillowing their heads upon
a shock of wheat and pulling a wagon
over them for comfort. The mules
do not eat In the field. They are fed
at the ranch stables, where 400 to 000
of them are allowed to fill up on corn
and oats all night Ioiir. This Is their
only meal In the 24 hours, but It Is
one that lasts.
The 101 ranch wheat crop, although
mammoth. Is Hot Its only one. The
big tract of land, leased from the
Ponca Indians, also produces 150,000
bushels of corn a year, 5000 tons of
prattle hay. soon tons of alfalfa hay.
and It supports 15.000 cattle and 3000
hogs.
Joe Miller. 38. conducts general su
pervision over the farm and signs the
checks and he can sign pretty big
ones If he does do It with a lead pen
cil. He also communes with the In
dian landlords in the Ponca tongue.
Next Is Zach. who looks out for the
15.000 cattle and the cowboys, and
who does most of the traveling.
George Is the office man and keeps
in constant communication with all
parts of the ranch and the United
States by local and long distance tele
phone. They have 200 acres In cotton ot
101 ranch this year. They have more
than that In watermelons. The cotton
Is an experiment.
Says Joe Miller: "If It turns out all

NEW BREED OF CATTIiE.
Wyoming Man Imitates the Buffalo
Characteristics.
A dispatch from Meeteetse, Wyo.,
says:
7:.o creation of un entirely new
breed of cattle, with the primary ob
ject of securing an animal with a
coot of hide closely resembling that
of a buffalo Is being attempted by
Col. J. L. Torrey of Rough Rider
fame.
He claims to have discovered a
cross producing such un animal, and
In fact 15 head of the new breed
called "Bufftory" may be seen at
the colonel's ranch at Embar, lu this
county.
Colonel Torrey has been quietly ex
perimenting on the propagation of
the species for several years at the
Embar ranch and at his cattle feed
ing ranch near Bnssett, Neb., and
while his recent Importation of sev
eral carloads of thoroughbred Short
horns and Polled Angus cattle has
been mentioned In the press as an at
tempt to create a hornless beef ani
mal, the real purpose Is the produc
tion of buffalo hides.
The Polled Angus, an animal with
a heavy coat of black curled hair. Is
crossed with the Shorthorn, a large
percentage of the offspring being of
a dull brown color, with a hide closely
resembling that of the buffalo.
Five of the 15 "Bufftory" breed
have recently dropped calves at the
Embar ranch, and every calf Is the
exact color of Its mother proof ab
solute to Colonel Torrey that within
a few years he will have a herd of
animals not only the equal of others
for beef, but the hides of which will
bring him twice the umount received
for the beef.

MAYS WEPT OX THE STAND.
Stale Senator Unable to 1 tent rain Ills
Team. J
State Senator Franklin P. Mays, dc-,
fendunt In the land fraud cases, who!
seeks postponement of trial . on the
plea of ill health, appeared Monday
afternoon before Judge Hunt In the
federal court, says the Oregon Dally
Journal.
On taking the stand he answered
one question and then broke Into tears.
He wept perhups half a minute, an
swered a few more questions and wept
again. Then he became quiet and re
sponded rationally to numerous in
quiries made by the court.
Mays testified that his health began
to full about six years ago and that
his weight had gone down from 190
pounds to 142V4. He had been
weighed, he said, Just before ho came
Into court. Speaking of his efforts to
regain his health he said that he had
spent some time In California. He waB
In that state at the time of the earth
quake, but left there as soon after
ward as possible, starting for Oregon
on the following Saturday.
When Judge Hunt asked If his
health Improved Mays answered be
tween his sobs:
"They tell me I am better, but I
don't know whether they Delleve It or
whether they say It to encourage me."
Further the witness said he had
been unable to practice his profession
and had not been In his law office
since a year ago last January.
Mays declared that his health be
gan to fall long before the beginning
of the land fraud prosecutions. He
admitted, however, that those proceed
ings might have emphasized his con
dition. In speaking of his troubles he
said he could not write letters be
cause his thoughts became confused.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Honey next questioned Mays, testing
his memory as to a trip he took to
Washington six years ago. Mays told
about arguing the soldiers' homestead
measure and of conducting proceed
ings In regurd to land patents. This
concluded the examination of the de
fendant. r"
Mays was accompanied to court by
his wife and Dr. A. E. Rockey, his
family physician.
Another armful of affidavits were
filed and Judge Hunt took the motion
for a continuance under advisemetn.

View on Tariff Question.
While In Spokane to attend
His

wedding bf his son, Senator Ankeny
was Interviewed by a Chronicle re
porter In which he said:
"Tariff revision is a big subject, and
In my opinion the time Is not ripe for
changes. It is a general rule that
every manufacturer Is willing enough
to have the other fellow's tariff re
vised, hut when It comes to changing
the tnriff on anv commodity which he
uses he Is red hot against any revis
ion.. Tn the senate. I am considered
one of the 'stand-patters,' so I can say
little on the question of revision.
"f believe that President Roosevelt
is sincere In his statement thnt he will
nut accept a renominatlon, but he
miy be forced to do so by the party.
Among the possible candidates re
cently discussed Is 'Uncle Joe' Can
non, whose name has been promi
nently mentioned since the adjourn
ment of congress.
"In my opinion, William Jennings
Brvan Is stronger today than he has
been at any time In his career. He
has friends now In places where he
was opposed before, and I think that
the republicans will have to be care
ful to nominate a good man for pres'
Ideut.
Palonse Plan Next Tear.
"During the last session we sue-
ceeded In having $2,800,000 appropri
ated for carrying out the Yaklmu,
Tieton and Okanogan Irrigation pro
jects. We did not secure enough to
carry through the Palouse project,
hut we hope to secure the necessary
funds at the next session of congress.
"Another bill which we hope to
have passed by the congress Is one
providing for the opening of the Co
lumbia river as far as Kettle Falls.
If the project Is found feasible we
may succeed In having the river open
ed up even farther north."

Horse Heaven Wheat Injured by Ex
tremely Hoi Winds.
"My estimate Is that the yield of
wheat In the Horse Heaven has not
been reduced more than 10 per cent
by the hot winds which prevailed a
couple of days last week," said C. A.
Lundy, acknowledged to be one of
the best Informed wheat men of the
inland empire, to Sunshine last week,
says the Wallula Gateway.
"Some of the early spring sowing
and late fall sowing suffered the
greatest damige from the heated
winds. This grain was Just chang
ing from the milk stage to the dough
stage. Some of this grain in certain
sections will go very light, but none
of K was damaged so much that any
of the ranchers are cutting tt for fod
der. !
"The only wheat fodder cut la for
the purpose of providing hay for the
harvest horses. Nearly all late sow
ing will yield fine if we have good
weather during the next few days.
Early fall wheat on volunteer will
go No. 1, Is ot good quality and ts
hurt scarcely any.
"Everything taken Into considera
tion, the farmers of the famous
Horse Heaven are to be congratulat
ed. After carefully examining the
grain and going over the ground very
thoroughly, I Judge there will be an
averago yield of between 18 and 20
bushels. Some will go 30 bushels,
but some yields llghc, too, you must
remember. At Hover, Kennewick,
Flndley and Erie there will be mar
keted about 200,000 bushels."

The saloon Issue Is to enter largely
into the state election In the state or
Washington, next fall.
The anti-saloon forces of the state
are now well organized and efforts
will be made to pledge prosecuting at
torneys and sheriffs to strict law en
forcement before nomination.
The Spokane Orator, an art andl
educational paper which Is represen
tative of the progressive element and
sentiment of decency, says of the com
ing election In Washington, and Its
bearing on the liquor interests:
The men who are elected to the leg
islature of the state of Washington
and to be the prosecuting attorneys of
its various counties for the next two
years will be supported by the liquor
men, or fought by them and supported
by the anti-saloon men.
The Immense victories won by the
anti-saloon men In the recent Oregon
elections by which three hundred sa
loons huve been closed have roused
the liquor Interests to a realization of
the fact that their business lives are
destined to be throttled In this state If
men favorable to them are not sent to
the legislature.
They also realize that tlie laws now
on tlie Hturuto books of Washington
are sufficient to control a sufficient
per cent of their business to take
away all of Its profits If tlie prosecut
ing attorneys would enforce them.
Party lines are being completely Ig
nored and the one burning question
with the saloon and liquor mem Is not,
does tlie man proposed for the legis
lature or prosecuting attorney belong
to my pnrty, nor yet does he visit sa
loons, but rather, will he support those
measures and enforce ' those laws
which are directed iignlust the very
life of my business?
On the othur hand the anti-saloon
league, which Is carrying Its work to
every pnrt of the state. Is looking for
men who can be relied upon to lend
every effort In the next legislature to
vote for a local option law that will
give the people of each precinct In
the state the right to say whether a
saloon shall locate In their midst or
not.
The anti-saloon league Is also quiet
ly and effectively working for the se
lection of men to be prosecuting at
torneys who will see to It that the laws
relating to the sale of liquor are
strictly enforced. Neither side Is pay
ing any attention to party lines and
the question of election of the next
legislature and of the prosecuting at
torneys will not be determined by the
fact that those elected belong to a
particular party, but by the fact that
they found favor with the saloon men
or the antl-saloon men of their dis
tricts, as the case may be.
SEATTLE GETS STATION.
$
Immigration Detention Department
Loaves Port Townsend.
The retention station of the Immi
gration department will be moved
from Port Townsend to Seattle. For
mal announcement to this effect will
be made In this city within the next
10 days, says the Seattle Star.
The move Is taken nt the request
of steamship companies, which are
forced to lose valuable time by beinsr

senger agent of the Great Northern
Steamship company, with the consent

a strong indorsement why the reten
tion station should be moved to Seat
tle. Tried to Block It.
Residents of Port Townsend. back
ed by a movement started at Tacoma,
rnlsed a remonstrance, but from ab
solute Information given out today,
the retention station will bo brought
to this city.
The selection of Seattle ns the only
logical place for the station will mean
a great revenue saver to the govern
ment. Heretofore every case of de
portation from Seattle or Tacoma has
been obliged to be sent to Port Town
send In charge of officers of the Im
migration service.
Has Been Expensive.
Transportation has been one of the
largest items In the expense of the
maintenance of the station at that
place. The transfer to Seattle means
also that all foreign steamers and
ships must now come to Seattle In
stead of Port Townsend before pro
ceeding to. other ports. The corps of
20 men In the station will be trans
ferred here.
