TIMOTHY HAT POSSIBILITIES.
ROOSEVELT HAS
OPPOSITION
Brings the Farmer What May Be Call
ed "Easy Money."
The Kettle Falls, Wash., Tribune,
publishes an interesting story on the
possibilities of hay meadows in Stevens
county. It insists that the modern
business farmer has a greater source i uburD8 of
ot income rrom umoiny nay man irura
any other of the crops planted In that
section. Estimates place the probable
cash returns from a quarter section of
good land planted to timothy at 4000
annually. That means the money the
farmer has after paytng all expenses.
Those engaged In the business have
returns that verify the figures. Be
cause of such conditions the acreage
devoted to timothy will be increased.
Timothy hay Is one of the staple
products of the soil. It is in demand
everywhere that horses and cattle are
kept for profit. According to the gov
ernment crop report for January the
prices of timothy hay have advanced
from $12 to S16 a ton In Chicago in the
past year. Local prices, received by
the farmers in Stevens county, have
reached 120 a ton. Under favorable
circumstances every acre planted to
timothy yields an average of almost L.
two tons yearly. The crop gives bet
ter returns than any of the cereals and
does not require so great an outlay of
cash to handle the harvest.
The hay farmer Is a man of compar
ative leasure. He has to work only
about two months In the year. He can
live in some adjoining town, as many
do. and spend his Idle time in the
marts of commerce. He can take the
receipts from the crop and travel with
his family to different countries of the
world. He can locate In the city of
schools and educate his children.
Everything that money can buy Is at
his disposal. And all the time the hay
meadows are increasing In value. The
grass grows while the land owners
sleep. Once in seven years the fields
need replanting.
Better Protection for Theaters.
A complete Investigation is to be
made of the theaters and playhouses
of the city with a view to ascertain
ing what It Is posible to do In the
matter of securing better fire protec
tion, says the Seattle News. A com
mittee consisting of Fire Chief Brlng
hurst, Fire Marshal Kellogg and
Chairman Blethen, of the committee
on tcly affairs of the Chamber of Com
merce, will conduct the Investigation
and out of their findings there will
be prepared a report to the city coun
cil. The Investigation is to be made
at the Instance of a large number of
people of the city who have address
ed communications to members of the
chamber regarding the alleged bad
condition of some of the houses.
That President Roosevelt and Secre
tary Hitchcock have not had "smooth
sailing" in their land fraud Investiga
tions, and that much strong opposi
tion to the policy of the president
has developed In the ranks of his own
party, is shown by the following
Washington dispatch:
Both the senate and house have
administered some hard knocks to the
administration's public land policy.
The senate struck out the grazing lease
amendment In the agricultural ap
propriation bill, while the house, by
vote of 104 to 17, adopted an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
which provides that no part of the
1250,000 appropriated for the pay and
traveling expenses of special agents
shall be available for the examination
of lands embraced in an entry on
which final proof has been made,
unless there is good grounds for sus
pecting fraud.
During the debate In the house the
work of the special agents was Be-
verely criticised and the orders of the
president regarding final proof on
homesteads was condemned as work-
nig unnecessary hardships on settlers,
Mr. Cushman of Washington, while
he regarded the secretary of the In
terior as "honest and high-minded,"
declared that he was suffering from
a "very severe case of suspicion," and
said that when a special agent starts
out from the office of the secretary
"he Is saturated before he starts with
the idea of fraud. The very existence
of his Job depends upon his finding
fraud, and if he does not find fraud
then the necessity for his official ex
lstence ceases." As for himself, he
would rather accept the statement of
the settlers than of the agent who had
been appointed, perhaps, from "the
slaughter house in Chi
cago through political pull."
Mr. Lacey of Iowa defended the sec
retary of the interior, who, he said,
had been greatly maligned and much
misunderstood. "He has endeavored
to enforce the law," he said, "and he
has caught some pretty big fish,"
Fur Catch Was Light.
The fur catch this year will be one
of the smallest in recent years, owing
to the exceedingly heavy fall of snow,
says a dispatch from Edmonton. The
trappers complain that snow has fal
len almost every night during the
present winter, making their traps as
useless as though they had been
sprung. Upon visiting the traps In the
morning trappers often discover them
buried in several inches of snow. Re
ports from the northern wilds In the
early part of the season showed fur
bearing animals ot all descriptions to
be plentiful, and a good season would
have resulted with a normal fall 6f
snow, but conditions are such that fur
of all kinds will advance in price dur
lng the next few months.

Lucy Allen Acquitted.
Within a few minutes after the
case had been submitted to them
for decision, the Jury In the district
court yesterday afternoon returned
a verdict of not guilty In the ense of
Lucy Allen, charged with murder by
stabbing. The arguments of the at
torneys were concluded about three
o'clock and Judge Steele then gave
his instructions. All feutures of the
evidence were reviewed in detail by
County Attorney Nvedham for the
state and by Attorneys Clay Mc
N:mee and J. I.. Harn for the de
fense. The attorneys for the defense
had handled the case throughout
with ability and in the arguments to
the Jury took the position that it
had not been proven Lucy Allen
killed Henry Carssow, but that in'
ste.'.d the evidence went more direct
ly to show that the wound which
raused Carssow's denth was prob
ably inflicted by Smith L. George.

Chester Pray Cleared.
A letter from a gentleman in Ne
vada to the American, takes off some
of the poignant features of the story
to the effect that Chester A. Pray
had been arrested for stealing bullion
from a Ooldfleld mine. That portion
of the letter relating to the matter
rends as follows:
"Mr. Pray and an associate were
leaving Qnldfleld to make a trip to
Salt Lake and Denver and had with
them some of the high grade ore
which probably had been stolen from
gimenf the mines In Ooldfield. They
were arrested at the Junction here of
the S. P., and charged with grand
lRrceny, hut the grand Jury has
simply found them guilty of hav
ing stolen property in their posses
sion. I think that Mr. Pray swore
on the stand that ho had purchased
this ore from parties In Goldfleld,
and this undoubtedly was the case.
The arrest nf men found with small
quantities of this ore In their pos
sesion, Is at much for the purpose
of advertising the richness) of Oold
field as It is for the recovery of stol
en property. Mr. Pray has brought
eult against the Mohawk Mining
company for damages on account of
illegal arrest. Blue Mountain American.
