the American Bonding company held
to be a breach of contract on the pail
of the territory and refused to pay

eral Simons then began a suit agaiust

claims that when they made a con-

He refuses to discuss the reported
finding of the ballot boxes in the river,

had come to him. it being said the
boxes were picked up by a tug.
A ballot box alleged to have been
stolen and discovered by accident was
taken to District Attorney Jerome's
office and closely examined.
A statement has been issued from
Mr. Hearst's headquarters saying that
an examination of the alleged defec-
tive ballots, which were thrown out
on election day. shows ten thousand,

these ballots were marked with a
ccoss beneath the municipal owner-

Mr. Jerome's name. Mr. Hearst says
that these balots should be counted

as to their validity. He asserts that
if these were credited to him he would
be elected without a recount of the
entire vote.

somewhat unusual in some cases and

accord with those obtained in the two

trials the indications are that where
wheat is judiciously pastured in the
fall and winter and the stock removed
in the spring by March 1, the yield or
graip will be little if any reduced by
pasturing and in some cases it seemed
to increase the yield of grain. The
results of the three years show with-
out variation that the yield of grain
is greatly reduced, usually about one-
half, by late spring pasturing of wheat.

One of the main assets of ihe de-

that if the contract for maintaining

company for two years longer, that

the bonding companies would make
money by insisting payment until such
a result is certain.

tary Wenuer of the territorial school

LEARNED LESSON TOO READILY.
Young Doctor Was One of Those Who
Profited by Advice.
When the old doctor met the young
physician who used to be his assistant
he inquired how he was prospering.
The young man poured out a tale of
woe. and said he had very few patients,
and they never paid their bills.
Whereupon the old man told him to
cheer up and all would come out right
In the end.
"And by all means.'1 cautioned tho
veteran medico, "do not be so candid
with every one as you have been to
me about your lack of success. Re-
member that the recording angel
keeps a large sponge with which to
wipe out the white lies young doctors
employ in telling the laity about the
large practices they enjoy."
A few weeks later the old man again
met the young physician and asked
him how he was getting along. The
young doctor at once began to rat lie
off a list of cases he was treating
which far exceeded that under the
care of half a dozen medical men who
had been in the business for many
years. The old man listened patiently
until the young doctor subsided, when
he remarked:

The second condition named is the
most difficult to meet. A very good
method is to keep the temperature or

about a week as soon as the potatoes
are stored and at the same time give

called the "sweating process." Pota-
toes dried in this way are said to be

venient a good method is to give all
