Watlilngtfln, Oct, 17 Btuator Aid rich, of lthodt Island, thoKaueral man ager of the United H tales senate, Is not ttllltiK what the program it to bo (or thu romlng aeislou, hut he has allowed an Intimation to leak out that there will he no tariff legislation, and no revenue legislation beyond some pro vision lor ratinmn ranal bonds. What Mr. Aldrlub may say and think la not ueeesstrily the plan to be fol lowed, but It is pretty apt to be, and when the Rhode Island sennUir. who it chairman of the finance committee, sayn there la to ho no tariff legislation, the probabilities are nlrouuly In favor of such legislation being pigeonholed If it ever mines from tlm house. Hut Kenator Aldrlch Is believed to be equally as Interested in siippreHnlug railroad rate legislation which would bo offensive to his good friends, the railroads, and there again he Is going to have Mimethlng to say later, though ho will not talk nl tho present time. Hituator Aldrlch Is n member of the committee on Interstate commerce, hut he did not attend thn hearings given by that committee. I nit spring, nfter congress bad adjourned. Mis mind la Hindu up on that ipiifitlon. Ho knows how he will vote; he knows the kind of bill he favors; be understands what his Mends want, and when the time cornea for action, though he will nay little, he will get in n powerful lot of effective work. There Is no discounting Henator Al drlch'a ability; he Is one of the might lent factors In congress, and it so ha pens that he Is chairman of the com mittee which handles tariff legislation and a memlMirof the committee that must pnsa upon the railroad rate bill after It passes the house. That is an other reason why Aldrlch Is In a iki- slllon to speak with authority as to tvgislntlvo prospects at tho coining sit tloti. MAKE TIMDER DURABLE.

FAin AT AN END, Great Lewlt and Clark Exposition Pastas Into History. Portland, Oct. 10. The Lowls and Clark Centennial exposition Is ended. Its Imposing palaces and buildings will como down; its well groomed te-races and lawns will quickly (ade to bar monlzH onco morn with the rugged landscape. Jlut its influences for the betterment of a new country will live on forever. It ran Its course on a chalk mark of success and ended In a burst of glory. From a financial standpoint it was a success; from a commercial standpoint it was a success; from an artistic stand point it was a success. Look at the Portland exposition from any stand point you will, and all you see is suc cess. Tho end came at midnight, October 14, with a sceno that word can but poorly describe. Although a heavy rain was falling, thousands stood tho wetting and waited for the vital hour. At ten minutes of tho hour President II. W. Goode, Governor Chamberlain, Mayor Lane and a large party nl prom inent citiiens and exposition officials entered the bandstand on Gray'a boule vard. The band played a medley of patriotic American airs, which brought forth prolonged volleys of cheering. Then Govornnr Chamberlain was Intro ducod. In a few well directed words ho congratulated the people of Portland nnd of the Coast for the great success they had achieved, and in passing, eu logized President Goode and those who had been actively Interested In shaping the dctlnlea of the exKsitlon. Mayor Ln.no sjioke in a similar vein, and ex pressed particular delight in the fact that the fair should end in the midst of n good old Oregon rainstorm. Then there came n pause, breath less pause, during which there was a nervous consulting of watches. The minute bands po'nted to (our minutes of midnight; then to three, then to one. The life of tho grout exposition was swiftly ebbing away. It was bat now n matter of seconds. Tho hush was that of a death chamber. Preeldent Goode arose slowly to pro claim tho end. It was ten seconds away. "The greatest honor that baa ever come into my life or that ever will was that of declaring this exposition open," bo said; "I now officially de clare the Lewis and Clark Centennial exposition at an end." TWO ARE GUILTY. Jury Returnt Verdict In Oregon Land Fraud Cate, Portland, Oct. 10. "The United States of America vs. Willard N.Jones, Thaddeus 8. Po ter and Ira Wade: We, the jury, in tho above entitled case And the defendants, Willard X. Jones and Tbaddeut 8. Potter, guilty as charged In the indictment. C. P. Bishop, fore man." "In the Circuit court of the United States for the district of Oregon. Unit ed Slates of America, plaintiff, vs. Wil lard N. Jones, Tbnddeui S. Potter, Ira Wade, John Doc and Richtrd Roe, de (endanta: We, the jury in the above entitled case, duly impaneled to try the above entitled criminal action, And the defendant, Ira Wade, not guilty. C. P. ltlahop, foreman." It took the jury just SO minutes Sat urday night to bring in the above ver dicts. Only three ballots were taken, and they were on tho guilt or innocence of Ira Wade, county clerk of Lincoln coun'y. It took only a brief discus slon before the verdict waa reached in regard to Willard N. Jones and Thad dues Potter. In fact, so unanlmout were tho 12 men of the guilt of Jones and Potter that it was hardly necessary to take a ballot. On tho first ballot upon Wade the vote stood seven for ac quittal, flvo for conviction. The second ballot resulted in nino for acquittal and three for conviction, and on the thl"d ballot the entire 12 "men voted for his acquittal. Caught Wife With Trap. HuiTalo, Oct. 10. A husband has a right to keep a rat trap in bis trousers pocket, according to a ruling made here by Police Justice Rocbford. The man who did this whs Joseph Schultt. He was arrested on bis wlfe'a complaint that her baud had been injured by tho trap when she went to take money from Shultt' pocket whilo he was asleep. Justice Rocbford ruled that Shultc could keep n rat trap in every one of his pockets to protect bis money if bo wished to do so. He discharged the prisoner. France Ready to Strike. Washington, Oct. 10, Another con ference between Secretary Root and M. Jusaeraud, the French ambassador, re garding Venezuela, was held at the Stato department today. Reports of the growing luipatienco of French pub lic contlnuo to reach hero, nnd this phase of the situation was among tboso discussed.

They woro on tholr way to Warsaw, and tho am munition, la thought to bo a portion of a supply Imported by a baud for use in An uprising. Unrii '.y.liolrnlll Tower. A heavy at tower nnd windmill built on a bnriljfniine mnket ft colitld erublu weight for tho timbers to bear. It Is well to have the tower so thor oughly braced as to be perfectly rigid. 'I Lose twisted wire cables can bo used for guys to run from the top of Uie lower to heavy anchor posts set deep ly In tho ground. These guys will keep the lower rigidly In poiltlou and pre vent any strnln on tho bam frame In a violent windstorm, Tho sketch nnd the following de scription will fully explain: Two of tho tower corner posbi (I) rent on the mnln crois beam. Tlio other two (F) rest upon tho purlin, shown at C. The vertical shaft runs down WI.MJMILL TOWER OX THE IIAIlX alongside the purlin to the beam at A. The bevel foot gear la located here, and this runs the horizontal shaft. The vertical shaft ia of cold rolled spring steel, one Inch In diameter. Tho Hue shafting is of tho same material, one and one-half Inches In diameter, nnd runs through three adjustable hangera. Wood split pulleys of proper diameter and face are adjusted on the shafting to run the machinery below. Shafting, pulleys and belting nro per fectly ndjusted, so that there Is the least possible friction. This Is essen tial, and causes trouble In many casr-s unless corrected by an expert mnchln 1st. The Illustration shows how the ele vated grain runs down Into tho grinder hopper (II) and the ground feed luto the bins below. The elevator (D) may be used either to fill bags on the plat form (II) or to carry ground feed to tho bin below. Ratltfactorr Track Crop. Growing sweet corn for canning purposes in tho vicinity of Ashvllle, In Pickaway County, Ohio, haa be come a very imnortnnt industry. A few years ngo these rich rtver bot toms wero devoted largely to general field crops, but with tho erection of a large cannery condition have large ly changed In this section. Most fanners now devote large areas to the growing of nweot corn. For the can nery Inst yenr about 2,800 acres were devoted to this crop for this one con cern. Parmer aro paid about ?3 per ton for the corn delivered. Stowell'a Kvergrecn Is grown extensively here. The average yield ranges' from three to three and n half tons per ncre. In 11XM the nverngo was about four tons per acre. Somo farmera last season nvcraged about flvo tons. American Agriculture. Corn Rhock Tyer.

These methods luvolvo trouble. but nuts so treated remain sweet and fresh for n long period. Largo quan tities may bo stored In tubs, using plenty of snud nud salt, tho tops cover ed to oxcludo air. Country Grain Weight. Hecauso of tho hick of uniformity In legal weights of tho measured bush el, farmers often fall to get alt that Is duo them in soiling to country buyers. Kor example, In somo Instances, n ihlppor at couutry elevator will require ,0 to b'i pounds of barley to the bushel In buying from the farmer, whlln weighing out only -18 pounds to tho bushel In selling It en tlio Chicago market The samo Is true of oats and other cereals, of onions, etc. The differ enco may not bo much on a slngto wagon load, hut In the crops of a year means many dollars. Farmers should understand what Is the legal weight and refuse to deliver more In selling to the local dealer. Hxchnngo. Whnt Aahr Are Worth. Wood ashes not only contain potash, but servo to loosen atlff soils nnd per form valuable service n chemical ro ngeut This Is duo to the largo pro portion of Hmo contained In tho ashen about 35 per centwhich In tho best form lu which It can be used. About 120 pounds of potash Is tho propor tion In a ton of wood nshes, while 700 pounds of lime accompanies It. The proportions moy be more or less, ac cording to tho kind of wood from which tho ashes aro obtained. Ashct nre worth only fl per ton, according to tho above proportions, to far nt tho actual potash is concerned, though the Hmo and other substance-i con tained possess value, tho phosphoric acid ranging from 2 to 5 per cent. Autumn Hon Pont lire. In somo of the Northwestern States and In all the vnllcyn of the Western mountain States It Is entirely practica ble to grow Held pons. nnd to fatten swine upon them In tha fields In which they hare been grown. This method of harvesting pent with swlno Is prac ticable wherever Canada field peas iro grown, but In climates of much rain fall In the autumn months tho grazing would be attended with considerable loss, and on clay tolls much Injury would be done to tho land. Moreover. It would nlwnys be accompanied by a loss of tho straw for food, but whero other fodder Is plentiful this loss would bo mora than compensated by the saving In labor effected by harvest ing the crop In this way.

It It made of two-Inch bard lumbvr eight Inches wide and about seven feet long. Tbo boards aro held In place by three ttrlpt of Iron half an Inch thick and three Inches wide bent Into notches two Inches deep and six laches long, except the last ono behind, which Is to be eight Inches long. Any blacksmith can do this work. Tha boards are bolted fait to the Iron trips, with the heads underneath. As CLOD CnUSUKB. tho boards are wider than the notches, they will overlap two Inches. Two pieces of Iron, with rings In the end, are bolted to the front board three or four feet apart for the purpose of hitching with a chain. Comfort may be added by attaching a seat from some old machinery. Indication of Laying. The color of the omb may Indicate; that hens or pullets nro about to lay, but so far as the noveral breeds aro concerned, and also In regard to tho sire of the comb affecting tbo laying, It Is not a fact, as has been claimed, that tho larger tho comb tho better layer tho htn. Such belief grow out of tho fact that the comb always en larges and becomes red on all hens Just as they begin to lay. It happens that some of the best laying breeds, such as Mlnorcns, Ulnck Spanish and Leghorns, naturally have large combs, but the light lira lima has a small comb, and It Is regarded as being fully eiial to any other breed. Tho comb simply Indicated heilth nnd condition and does not Intluenco laying. Itfllreetllnic of I'ow'i. The In-brcedlng of fowls Is not so much In dlsreputo among fanciers an It wns.
