If anybody tries "jo "string you with that kind of talk, just laugh at him. Tell him you're willing to wear clothes made from part-cotton fabricsif your self respect allows you to admit it; but give him to un derstand that you're buying adult erated goods because the price is lower. Don't say because they're cheap er; they're not. Don't say because you save money; you don't. Just say, because the price is lower. Or better still for you and every body else say, "nothing but all wool will do me, " and that pretty near amounts to saying nothing but Hart, Schatfner & Marx clothes sn this town.

This wheat has been grown on a small scale at this station for some years, and we find it to be of little Professor H. T. Rigelow of Wash ington, D.

In speaking of his work this morn ing, Professor Bigelow said: "The study of evaporation is a new problem taken up by the government and it is a very Important one in con nection with the reclamation serv ice, which is building large storage reservoirs, which In parts of the country will be greatly lowered by evaporation and consequently It can be readily seen that this feature will affect irrigation and plant Industry to a great extent. "The government Is beginning Its work at Salton sea, where work has begun of installing a gigantic evap oration plant to determine the exact amount of evaporation on the dry deserts of California. "The Salton sea Is now dropping at the rate of six feet per year and very little water Is coming in from the rivers, so It will be easy to deter mine what the evaporation Is in that locality and altitude. The plant will consist of a series of towers in which pans will be set 10 feet apart which will show the evaporation at differ ent altitudes.

NEW WHEAT MAY BE FAKE. Dr. WiUiyoombe Warns Farmers to Go Slow with tli "Alawka." Dr. James Wlthycombe, writing from Corvallls, to the Oregonlan, says of the alleged new wheat of Ida ho, called by Its discoverer the "Alas ka" wheat: Permit me to offer a word of cau tion to our farmers' regarding the "Alaska" wheat, the merits of which were so fully and so interestingly set forth In yesterday's Oregonlan. It Is not our purpose to discourage the Introduction of a new and valua ble variety of wheat to the Pacific Northwest, but we are frank to con fess we are somewhat incredulous as to the value of the "Alaska" wheat Cheap money and plenty of It is a very influential element In the pres ent advance.

Possible to Raise mid Run Pure, Bred Registered Sheep on Western Na. ilonal Forota Reserves Certain Conditions Neivssary and Govern, niont Provides These. Many sheep breeders, especially those of the east, will bo surprised to learn that pure bred registered .sheep may be raised and run on the open ranges of the west In large bands without any diminution In the grade or quality of the product ns compared to the parent dams and sires with which the flocks were start ed, says a forest bulletin. The first requisite, however, is that an entirely satisfactory range, properly protected fiom the intrusion of other flocks and upon which there Is certain to be the necessary amount of forage, water etc., must be assured. At the present time this condition exists only upon private lands and within the national forests of the west which are under the administration of the forest serv ice. A noteworthy example of what can be accomplished in breeding high grade sheep on properly controlled open range Is that of Allen Bros., who graze about 3000 head of registered Cottswold sheep within the Uinta na tional forest In the state of Utah. These bands are the Increase of about 200 head of prize winning stock from the royal stock show of England and the international show at Chicago, purchased and Imported to Utah by Allen Bros, since 1S92. They have been grazed within the Uinta nation al forest since 1903, upon ranges which nre practically Ideal for sheep grazing purposes, being well watered, grassed and shaded, and protected from the grazing of other sheep. Careful breeding Is developing a pure bred type of Cott.swold entirely ade quate to western range conditions, yet equal to anything raised under fences in the eastern United States or In European countries. This Is a sample case that demon strates what range control within tha national forests is enabling the stock men of the west to do. There nra quicker and greater returns to be se cured from the raising of high grade stock than from Inferior mongrel breeds, but In many sections stockmen have hesitated to Invest In registered sires and dams because of the uncer tainty of securing ranges upon which feed and water are absolutely assured and without which such ventures would not Le so remunerative or as successful as the running of Inferior grades of stock better adapted to the severe range conditions that are com monly encountered because of over stocking and lack of control. On national forest ranges the num ber of stock allowed Is only what the range is sufficient to sustain under all conditions, and a stockman who se cures a permit to graze stock on these ranges may embark upon the business of raising high grade cattle and sheep with every reasonable assurance ot success.

What It Means Many people do not know what a bank's capital means to its depositors, or the differ ance between a bank of little or no capital, and one with a large capital. One of the functions of A Bank s Capital is to protect its depositors from possible loss; therefore the larger it is, the greater protec tion the depositors have.

MeCunn of Glasgow, reports that the official details of the operations of the municipal street rail, ways of that Scotch city fur the year ended May 31, show gratifying result, and gives the following particulars: . The number of passengers carried was 22C,94S,290, an Increase of 2, S S 3,1 92 over the previous year. The revenue from passenger fares reached the record figure of $4,416,321, an In crease of $97,SS3 over tho previous year's total. While the total receipts for the year are the highest yet re corded, the increaso Is tho smallest in the past 10 years. In 1901-2 the In. crease of receipts over the previous year reached the extraordinary sum of $608,040. This remarkable Increase was accounted for byJhe fact that at that time the great extension scheme was being rapidly utilized, and tha receipts were proportionately Increas ed. The total receipts, however, of that year (1901-2) were only $2,990, 041, so that the revenue has Increased in six years $1,426,281, or about 60 per cent. The comparatively short ex tensions of the track mileage -made during the past year and the Inclem ency of the weather during the sum mer and autumn seasons are tho at tributed causes for the lower rate of Increaso. The average track mileage (single) open during tho year was 179 miles, ar. Increase of 10 miles. The rates of fare charged ranged In regular grada tions from 1 to S cents, over 60 per cent of the traffic being carried at the 2-cent rate. Boise Xceds IIoudcs. With the advent of the month of August the house hunter has again taken up his weary burden after a rest of several months, and Indications point to the fact that at the present time there will not be a house in the city vacant by September 1, says the ltoise Capital News. The supply at tho best Is Inade quate, and many who have hunted the city over from end to end and side to side have reached the verdict that Holso Is sadly In need of rental propositions at more popular prices and on the cottage style.
