It Is well known that Prof. L. H.
Bailey, ol Cornell university, has been
working for three years past on an ex
tensive publication to be known as The
American Cyclopedia ol Agriculture.
This is to be published In several vol-
I umes and it is expected that it w ill be
; accepted by the reading public aa the
standard reference work on rural affairs,
i It haa been many years since such a
i work has been attempted and nothing
I of such an extensive nature has ever
| been undertaken before in America.
Professor Bailey has called to his aid
the beat known writers on agriculture
throughout the entire country, who
have written up the various subjects on
which they were recognized as authori
ties. The entire work may be referred
to as the combined efforts of the agri
cultural specialists of Amerioa aud
when published w ill no doubt find a
place in the library of most progressive
farmers.
It is significant that when it came to
the very important subject of wheat
that Professor Bailey recognized the
great Northwest and its place as one of
the leading wheat producing regions by
calling on Professor E. E . Elliott, head
of the Agricutlural department at the
State college of Washington, to prepare
this most important article. This has
been done by Prof. Elliott and the mat
ter is now in the hands of the publish
ers. The article in question consists of
about ten thousand words, with numer
ous Illustrations, and would be suffi
cient in itself to make quite a book If
published separately.
II covers the
entire subject of wheat production in
America and at the same time atten
tion is particularly called to the great
regions of the Northwest where the pro
duction and quality of this cereal have
placed it in the f.refront. Our wheat
growers ate to be congratulated In the
fact that the article in question has
been prepared by cne so familiar with
the Bubject and who is doing so much
to advance the industry tbroug the
work being done by his department at
the state experiment station and at the
various cereal stations established in
the state as well as through the wheat
producers organization which was ini
tiated by him.

Responsibility for Buying San
Francisco Supervisors.
San Francisco, Aug. 27.— President
Henry T. Scott, of the Pacific Tele
phone 4 Telepraph company, was re
called to the stand when the Glass
bribery case was resumed yesterday.
Under questioning by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Honey, Mr. Scott testi-
efid that prior to the earthquake and
fire of 1906 F. A. Pickernel), assistant
to the president of the American Bell
Telephone company, took no active
hand in the conduct of the Pacific
States corporation, but immediately
thereafter be set about the formation
of plans for rebuilding the wiecked
plant. The purpose of this testimony
was, on the part of the prosecution, to
ambush any prospective defense to
shunt the bribery blame onto the
shoulders of Mr. Picernell.
Mr. Scott, answering a series of ques
tions designed to clinch in the jury’s
minds the asserted fact that General
Manager Glass was In complete con-
tr> 1 of the company during the alleged
bribery period, said that he (Scott) be
tween the date of bis election to tbe
presidency and his return trom the
East, in the latter half of March, 1906,
signed no company checks, authorized
none, gave no authority to Glass or
Halsey to expend any money, and gave
no company instructions to any one.
Mr. Scott said T . V . Halsey had no
Btated position with the company, but
that he is drawing a salary of $176 per
mouth.
Mr. Scott declared that ’ he gained
from the'grand jury'the first knowledge
of the issuance of $50,000 worth of
checks.

Telegraph Operators Expact
Overtures Soon,
Peace
Chicago, Aug. 26.— A crisis w ill be
reached in the telegraphers’ strike
within the next few days, according to
tbe expectations of Chicago operators.
Announcement to this effect was made
today by Frank Likes, chairman of the
local strike committee, at a meeting.
Mr. Likes declined to disclose fully his
reasons for making this statement, but
from other sources it was learned that
the operators are expecting that some
sort of an offer w ill be received from
the companies within a short time.
In view of the determined stand
taken by both corporations against
dealing with the strikers collectively,
this report was viewed with skepticism
in many quarters.
It Is said that many of the strikers
would be willing to return to work up
on the promise that they be given free
use of typewriters and a moderate wage
increase. Recognition of the union, it
is declared, would not be Insisted upon.
The statement of Mr. Likes concern
ing a possible crisis was made during a
dispute concerning the advisability of
holding a strikers’ meeting tomorrow.

trial on a charge of smuggling.
Tbe first inkling that dogs were used
for smuggling came a few days ago
when Officer Lane, of the Bellingham
station, shot a dog which he saw run
ning through the thick timber near
Blaipe. The canine was loaded down
with a leather saddle in which was
found three pounds of opium and a
package of silk. Where the dog came
from and where he was going were
mysteries which the officials at once
began to ferret out.
The officers took a coon dog with
them to the boundary line where the
first canine) waa seen. For three days
they waited before another dog came
along with a pack saddle on its back.
This time there were three dogs loaded
down with the drug.
The men let
them pass, and then, with the aid of
the coon dog, they traced them to an

afterwards arrested Smith on a charge

New York, Aug. 27.— President Small

Portland, Aug. 26.— Judge Alfred F.
Sears, Jr., of the State Ciriult court,
ODe of the foremost jurists of Oregon,
died of apoplexy at his residence, 690
EaBt Madison street, shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday morning. Death was
altogether unexpected, for not the
slightest warning to members of the
family foretold the end. The funeral
ill be held Tuesday.
Judge Sears was in his usual health
Saturday. He wae about the city, and
to many of his friends and associates
seemed in the best of spirits. H ere-
tired about' 10 o’clock Saturday night,
rather earlier than usual, and it was
not until Mrs. Sears stepped into his
room at 4 o ’clock to see if he was sleep
ing well, that it was known he had
passed away.
Dr. A. J. Giesy was immediately
called, but the judge was pajt all med

He had ceased breathing
when found by Mrs. Sean, and the
opinion of the physician is that he
had died but a short tim e before. No
scund was heard from his room, and
this leads to the belief that the end
was peaceful and painless.

“ I was walking on Pennsylvania
avenue In Washington one day at high
noon when a ‘nigger’ loomed up on my
horizon coming rapidly toward me,”
said a well-known negro comedian.
“ He was wearing the most outlandish
outfit I ever saw on u human being,
on or off the stage. His trousers were
trayed aud torn above his sboetops.
He wore a musk-colored woolen shirt,
a celluloid collar and a tattered sack
coat. On hla head was a sombrero
which looked aa If several dogs had
been trying to pull It to pieces. But
tbe crowning effort waa a new and Im
maculate full dreaa vest. He had pull
ed back his coat and shoved his
thumbs luto tbe armholes of that vest.
As be came sailing before tbe wind
he certainly was the most comical fig
ure I ever saw. I couldn't resist the
temptation to stop him.
“ ‘Look here,’ I said, ‘what do you
meau by api>ear!ng at tbls time of day
In such t dress? Don't you know that
you're de trop?'
“ 'De wbat— what's that?'
“ 'Don’t you know that you’ re de
trop?' I repeated, ‘that it Isn’t permis
sible to appear In-full dress before 6
o’clock in the evening?’
“The darky drew himself up very
proudly.
“ ‘Look heah,’ he said. ‘I'll have you
to know that I don't ’low nobody to
make time tables tor my cloas.' ’’—

The Samoan Islands are tbe natural
habitat of the moat diminutive apactea
of variety of the genus boa now known
to tbe naturalist. The average weight
of tbe males of these llllputlan cattla
seldom exceeds 200 pounds, tbe aver
age being not greater than 150 pounds.
Tbe females usually average about a
hundred pounds larger and are very
“ stocky” built, seldom being taller
than a Merino sheep. These dwarf
cattle are nearly all of the same color
— reddish mouse color, marked with
white. They have large heads as
compared with their bodies, and their
borna are of exceptional length.

It was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry a cane having a
hollow bend, the top of which waa gold
pierced with holes like a pepper box.
Tbe top contained a email amount o f
aromatic powder or of snuff, and on
entering the house or room where a
disease supposed to be Infectious pre
vailed the doctor would strike hla cane
on the floor to agitate the powder and
then apply It to hla nose; hence all
the old prints of physicians represent
them with canes to their noses.

The very high sounding word eti
quette bad a very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply a label. It re
ceived Its present slgnlflcatloa from
the fact that a Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis X iV . waa much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths, and at length had labels placed
to Indicate where they might pass. At
first these labels were not attended to.
but a bint from high quarters that In
future the walks of the courtiers must
be within the “etlquettea” or label«
waa promptly attended to. T o keep
within the etlquettea became the cor
rect thing. The meaning of the phrase
waa afterward widened.

The young man who waa batter

“ I see that they played ‘Parsifal’ In
Bayreuth yesterday,” commented tbe
long-haired person with the newspaper.
“ Did they? Who won?” queried the
young man.

The sane, healthy way to study the

the teacher for a certain length o f time
every day.
That length o f time de
pends entirely upon tbe future that the
student may decide upon.

four hours dally should ba given to
