10 Advertise The Country.

In order to place the true facts re-
garding this country before the people
in the East, the HERALD will. in the
future, devote considerable space to ar
ticles on the resources and needs of Pull
man and Whitman county.
To get these facts we ask the farmers
and business men to write letter on what
they have done or seen done, in a bust
ness way, in the Palouse country. Facts
are wanted. They are good enough in
themselves without exaggerating or
covering up.
Send IN statement of what yon have
done in this country, and have it pub
lished over your own name. 1t will, in
this way, have more weight with your
friends in the East than a ton of straight
advertising matter could ever have.
The people of the East are anxious to
learn of this country, and letters
would be read and would do much good
towards deciding them to locate here.

-u Whitman For The College.

The committee upon which devolves
the duty of locating the agricultural
college, has seen Whitman county, and
in seeing it has viewed the greatest ag
ncultural county IN the Union.
The members of the commission could
not fail to be impressed, favorably, with
this portion of the state and, from all
appearances, they were that way i'm
pressed.
A county must be very prosperous to
contain and support SO many good towns,
as does Whitman.
The farmers of the entire county, and
of this part of Washington, are anxious
to see the college in this county, as it
would be of no benefit to them whatever
if located in Yakima.

TWENTY ONE states have adopted tbs

ARrEsIAN water is usually not well
stocked with fish, and accordingly Pull
man people are obliged to cast about
for another subject than this well worn
one affords when they desire to relate a
marvellous story. The reporter of the
HERALD recently succeeded beyond his
utmost expectations, when, in his en-
deavor to tell something wonderful, he
thought of the following: "P. G. Klein
gard, aged IA years, would make some
OF our younger sportsmen take back
tseat when it comes TO accuracy of aim.
Tin one day he killed ninety three ground
squirrels, making but ninety -four shots
to perform the feat. 1t takes a man
with steady nerve to make a record
like this.-Spokane Review.

Pullman as a Site for the College,

Whitman county is the proper county
for the college, and there is no town in
the county that can offer better site
than Pullman, AMI no site in the county
that Is surrounded by more natural ad-
vanta8es than the one here.
The healthfulness of the locality
should be strong consideration, and
there is no town in the state in which
the general health is better than in Pull,
man. This is due to the fact of our
having pure, artesian water.
The site offered has good view Of the
town, looking down Main street, and is
of the richest soil. A site nearer the
ideal could not be found.

The Negro In The Census.
Every Sunday.

G'eIS
Instead of the blacks Outnumbering
and overwhelming the white race in the
southern states, as was inferred by a
comparison of the erroneous census fig
ures of 1870 and 1880, comparison of
the status of the two races in the two
last government courts show that the
reverse conditions prevail The Ten
nessee figures of 1890 are Whites,
1,382,971; blacks, 435,30O showing an
increase in the white race equal to II
per cent, and in the black of y per cent.
since 1880. The census figures also
show that the negro is rapidly losing his
numerical standing in the northern row
of southern states. In 1860 the blacks
comprised more than one fifth of the
population of Kentucky; in 1880 less
that one-sixth, and the proportion is
gradually decreasing. In Missouri there
are only about 100000 negroes in a pop
ulation of nearly 100000. The
Courier Journal says that the race is
steadily drifting or being driven by
force of circumstances into the low lands
of the Atlantic states, or into the far
south, but seems to be able to sustain
Its numbers only in the low lands and
swamps on the coast; while in the hill
country of the far south it is succumbino
to the white faces, and the tendency of
this aggregation of blacks in certain
localities to the exclusion of the whites
is the only serious phase the negro
problem presents at this time. The
race question will finally settle itself.
but not in the way looked for by MANY
philanthropic philosophers.
That item on the inside sheet of the
HERALD this week, entitled s'Colfax gets
1t" referring to the agricultural college
should be credited to a Spokane paper.
1t lacks good deal of being the opinion
OF the HERALD, and is from Spokane
journal which knows nothing whatever
of the matter

Special Correspondence to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, d. G. April 10, 1881
Maj. Mckinley is in town this week. and
he has been to the White House nearly
every day. The President is anxious to
have the Major accompany him to the
Pacific coast, and although he has not
yet consented to go | shall not be sur
prised if he does. The present relations
between these two eminent republicans
show the absurdIty of the democratic
talk about their being rivals for the re-
publican Presidential nomination next
year. Maj. Mckinley was asked what he
thought the returns from the local spring
elections indicated, and he replied !:
"They indicate that the voters of the
republican party are rapidly getting in
line for the great battle next year, and,
mark my words, that the republican
party will elect the next President of
the United States"
Secretary Rusk is the recipient of
many congratulations on his success in
getting Germany to rescind its prohibi-
ton of American meats and meat pro-
duets, and he is proud, as he has right
to be, of what he has accomplished, but
he is still hard at work, through the
State department, trying to convince
the Government of France that it will
be wisdom for it to follow the example
set by Germany and open it's markets to
our meats, and he believes that he will
eventually succeed.
Every republican sincerely regrets
that the state of Senator Edmund's
health has caused him to tender his resig
nation to the governor of bis state, and
not even the belief that he will be sue
ceeded by so able man and so good q

Whitman's Fame Spreadeth.


The advertisement being given this
section of Washington by Northcutt's
letter to the president, and the subse-
quent letter of Senator John B. Allen
is reaping greater returns than could
ever be realized from the publishing OF
pamphlets or other advertising matter.
Aliens letter is being copied, as a
matter of news, in hundreds of eastern
papers. The following are samples
The National Tribune, of Washington,
d. c., containing this item:
''E. j. Northcutt, Pullman, Whitman County,
Wash, sent the President sample of Northcutt
Giant wheat, from prize acre, which yielded
10l bushels and IL pounds. The wheat was sent
to the Agricultural Department, which inqired
or Senator j. B. Allen, of Washington, as to the
reliability of the statement. Senator Aleln re-
piled vouching for the same, and stating in ad-
dition that the yield of Whitman County last
year was probably the greatest of any similar
area in the history of the wheat growing in the
United States. Farms ranging from 100 to 900
acres yielded an average of 49, As, so, and in
some instances 60 bushels to the acre, and this
without irrigation or the use of fertilizers"
From the Saratogian, of Sarat ogia,
Springs, N. Y,
GA big yield reported to the department. was
10l bushels and II pounds of wheat from single
the farm of E. j. Northcutt, in Whitman
county, Washington. The Secretary thought
this was stretching it little too much and so
wrote note to Senator Allen of Washington, ask
ing him if he knew Mr.. Northcut to be gentle
man whose word about wheat could be relied up
on. The senator replied that he did and the
secretary is accordingly satisfied that the banner
acre of wheat in the United States is in Whitman
county, Washington.
Senator Aliens letter to the secretary contains
the following passages which will vastly interest
the farmers in this section of the country.
The yield of Whitman county last year which,
by the way, is one of the largest counties of the
state, was perhaps the greatest of any equal area
States. Frequent yields of farms ranging from
100 to 1000 acres were forty, forty-fve, fifty
and in some instances sixty bushels per acre, and
a gentleman well informed upon the subject
tells me a number of farms furnished a. larger
average than l have mentioned.
Upon none of these lands was irrigation en-
ployed. nor have they been as yet fertilized
Thus far the heavy yield has occasioned no sp-
parent diminution of the productiveness of the
soil, which is largely of volcanic formation
underlaid with subsoil that shows remarkable
tenacity in retaining moisture for the supply of
the growing crops"

1t Is believed, although neither of the
gentleman concerned will talk about it.
that in was to enable Secretary Proctor
to close up some matters in his depart
ment in which he is greatly interested,
before leaving the Cabinet in order to
enter the Senate, that Senator Edmunds
made his resignation to take effect on
the first of November next. Some PEG
pie think that for either Senator Ed
munds or Senator Proctor to confirm
this would be to imply that an under
standing had been reached with the
governor of Vermont before it was
known that there would be vacancy in
the Senate.
The three days celebration Of the
centennial of the United States patent
system, began on Wednesday with 1
public meeting presided over by the
President and addressed by Secretary
Noble, Commissioner of Patents Mitch

Robt. S. Taylor, of Indiana, Justice
Blatchford, of the U. S. Supreme Court
and Senator Plat, closed this afternoon
with military review, participated in
by regular troops and militia. The cele-
bration has been a success, although the
attendance of strangers has been much
smaller than was expected by some Of
its over sanguine projectors.
The question among democrats is, did
| Governor Senator Hill Intentionally
throw tariff frebrand into the speaker
ship fight? Intentionally or not his
recent letter announcing that he had ne
sympathy with free trade has created &
stampede among the supporters of Mills
who is an avowed free trader, and it nov
looks as if there would be a regular
monkey and parrot time in the Fifty
second congress on account of this
question having been precipitated into
the arena by Hill. Mr. Cleveland is
understood to be for Mills and free
trade.
The war department is still receiving
numerous offers of volunteers in case Of
war with Italy, but if these would-be
soldiers do not smell powder before Italy
declares war against the United States
they will have to wait sometime for that
pleasure. 1t is not positively known
whether Mr.. Blaine has yet sent his
answer to the last dispatch of Rudini,
the italian prime minister, which has
not been made public, but I understand
that it was read and approved at the
last cabinet meeting.
There are several applicants for the
vacancy made by the resignation of Mr.
Windrlm, Supervising Architect of the
Treasury, and as Secretary Foster is
now considering the matter the APP
pointment is looked for daily.
Ex-Representative Crounse, of Ne
braska, who served in congress with
Secretary Foster, has been appointed
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury to
succeed Gen. Batcheller, of New York,
who was appointed minister to Portugal
just before the adjournment of Con
gress.
Charles E. Kincaid, the newspaper
correspondent, who shot and killed ex-
Representative Taulbee in the Capitol
building last year, has been acquitted
of the charge of murder.

EaIifornEa's Exhibit.

Mr.. A. +. Judson, OF Cotton, Cal.
who is the Worlds Fair Commissioner
for Southern California, is very en-
thusisstie over the exhibit his State is
going TO have at Chicago, says the
Glob-Democrst. He says the mineral
exhibit will be the largest and richest
ever seen anywhere. 1t will consist OF
every mineral ever seen on the Pacific
Coast. The horticultural display is
also going to be one Of the principal
features. The State has forty-four
counties, and $1,000 has been appro-
priaied for each county To make a
display. The appropriation for the
whole horticultural and mineral ex.
hibit is $T50,00O, and il this is not
sufficient the amount will be increased
70 81 100000. The State will have ten
acres of ground at the Fair, and two
and half acres Of this will be made
into a suitable orange grove. The
trees are to be transplanted and
oranges are to be grown the same as
in their native home. A very pretty
feature OF the exhibit will be a salt
palace. In San Bernardino county
there is lake Of crystal salt "a feet
through. This is so transparent that
a newspaper can be read through
eight inches OF the crystal There
will be 1000 tons Of the salt used in
the palace. 1t is to be handsomely
decorated, and the front will be inlaid
with native marble, gold. silver and
precious stones. In another portion
of the exhibit will be every semi-tropi.
cal plant known in the horticultural
world.
Mr.. JudsOn had with him yesterday
some very rich specimens OF ores and
marbles. A very pretty paper weight
is among his collections. 1t is to be
presented TO the Director General of
the Fair. 1t is in the shape OF book.
The center is of white crystal marble,
the back Of gray onyx and the sides of
green and blue marble. Across the
back are three solid gold bands, and the
front is fastened with a gold clasp.
The whole is beautifully polished and
handsome.
