Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder A NEW GRASS Experiments by Clark Walter, an Ath ena Earmer, Athena, March 24 To the Editor It is said that when a man makes two blades of grass grow where only on 3 formerly grew, ii a benefactor to man kind, and it ia a wise and truthful say ing. . I have been experimenting witn dif ferent varieties of grasses, and now think I have found the coming grass for onr dry lands. In the spring of 1896, I purchased a pound of Bromm lot rmis seed and siwed the same. It came on and grew all through the drt season and was green all the time. But very few stems went to seed the first year. In 1897 the grass produced a t:ood crop of seed. I cut it about tbe middle of July, and as soon as I got the sead off, I turned in calves and th?j ast eveothiug green and tramped the ground so that it was nothing but a bed of dust. About the middle of August I took them out and in a few days after, the grass came up through too dust as green as ever, and has grown ever eioce. It bas been green summer and winter, since it first came up. I think the test I gave It last year, is sufficient to prove its worth in this country aa a pasture gran. For hay tbe claim is made for it.that It will pro duce four to five tons to the acre u ider favorable conditions ; which I think it will. It has a fine, fibrous root, and holds tenaciously to tbe ground, where it is sown thick enough to do so. I secured seed enougn to sew about four acres this year, which I have al ready sown. I nave no seed for sale ibis year, but simply give the experience I have had thus far with tbe grass, that others may profit thereby. I believe it will make a grasB that will grow well in the western part of our country, where stock raitdng is the principal Industry, and should further experiments prove as good as tbey have so far, it is certainly tbe coming grass for our dry lnds. Th seed originally came from Buesia, and is a Buesiau plant. Clark Walter WATSON WITHDRAWS. Hit Business Cares Will net Permit f His Accepting. D. B. Watson has presented the fol lowing communication to Chairman W. M. Pierce. ' " Mission, Oregon, March 21, 1898. To the Chairman of the Democratic Cen tral Committee of Umatilla County, - . Oregon: - . I wish to extend my most sincere thanks to the members of the late Dem ocratic county convention who unani mously nominated me as one of their candidates for representative ta tbe state legislature. I also wish to thank the members of the People's party conven tion and the Free 6il ver Republicans who indorsed me for that important of fice. I am sorry to inform you that busi ness interests which I am, unable to con trol compels me to state to ' you that I cannot except the nomination so gener ously tendered me. I hereby tender you my resignation and ask that you take such steps aa may be necessary to fill the vacancy cause by this my withdrawal from the ticket nominated last Friday. I promise my most hearty co operation and support of tbe ticxet nominated by the union forces of Umatilla countv. and I shall do all in my power to secure the election pifiyerv.man on the ticaet,.. . ' ir' , RfcapaftHnlty yonrSf ' .1 D. B. Watson , Mr, Wtit'on was interviwed by a ro pre sentative of tbe E. O., with regard to the withdrawal printed above, and said that he felt it was tbe only course left open to him nnder exieting circumstances. He bad not the time nor money to make the canvass,' which he would not care to enter unless be was able to take his part in a vigorous campaign. "Boone" tried bard to decline tbe honor of the nomin ation aecorded by tbe convention at the time, but could not escape it. While he feels very grateful for this compliment extended by bis fellow democrats, be thinks some candidate who is able to make the race to better purpose may be found. . Chairman Pierce was aeked what steps will be taken to fill the vacancy, and re plied that Jt would be left to the precinct committeemen. He will call a meeting of the committeemen for the purpose, but will pot fix the date nntil he returns iron tbe Portland convention. " ' ;"'A Lbat Saddle. It was a mild-eyed and pen live cay age. .
