1t is nearly forgotten, says the Taco

directed toward the matter, that an ex
perimental station is to be established
on the west side of the mountains in con.
nection with the agricultural college
which has been located at Pullman b.
the recent decision 0f the supreme court
There has not been much talk regarding
the location of the station, partly be
cause it's Importance has not been full
appreciated, nearly everyone having the
idea that it is miniature farm, on whicl
few old fogies try impracticabIe ex-
periments on subjects about which they
know very little. This idea, however, i

There is a considerable probability thai
the station will be located near Slaugh.
ter. The people of that city have ex-
pressed their willingness to donate d
farm Of forty acres to the regents if they
will locate the station there and as this
Is the most liberal offer yet made, it is
probable it will be accepted. Henry
BuceY, who is interested in the matter,
has conferred with the people Of Pu
yallnp, Sumner, Kent and Slaughter. The
latter two places have united on a loca
ton near Slaughter. No other offer has
been made.
The station will be supported by half
of the appropriation of $4,000 annually
by the national government. The other
half goes to The station east of the noun
tains. The bill took effect over a year
ago, SO that $4,000 is already accumu-
lated.

No Extra Session.

An Olympia special of Monday says:
Governor Ferry and all the state officers
met this afternoon, discussed the advisa-
biity of an extra session and adjourned
without a definite conclusion. But it is
understood that Ferry does not think
the emergency contemplated by the
constitution exists at present.
Another special about the same meet
ing reads: To justify the calling of an
extra session some extraordinary and
imperative emergency must exist. accord
ing to the constitution. It was pointed
out at the meeting that the ordinary
needs of legislation are not sufficient to
warrant the governor in converting the
Legislature. 1t is not thought that any
reason for calling it was suggested that
was convincing. While the governor
did not formally decide the matter, it is
not at all probable that an extra session
will be called.

Quaker Social.
December ]

The Quaker ocial at the COngrega-
tional church last evening was well at
tended, and one and all of those present
seemed to enjoy the occasion. The at
tendance was, in fact, the largest ever
present at a similar entertainment in
the town, and the capacity of the church
proved hardly adequate to the demand.
The quaker element was represented
by several ladies and gentlemen, the
ladies being costumed to represent the
character, and Quaker silence was impos-
ed upon all present, a word aloud or
a laugh causing the unlucky person
convicted thereof to be mulcted five
cents for each offence. Silence, however,
was not continued throughout the en-
tire evening. Quaker simplicity was
further made manifest in the banquet
served, the first course consisting OF
water and dried apples served IN a COM
mon dish, each person helping him
self. Following this came a course OF
tooth-picks and pumpkin pie. The
evening was filled in with pieasantries
and games, making it thoroughly en-
jOYable.

county commissioners that they
had right to make less levy than
four mills on the ground that the
clause in the revenue law (section
74) repeats that part of the school
law you refer to. Three mills this
year will raise more money, and as
much, or more, per capita, than
four mills did last year, besides we
ought to receive IS cents to $1.00 for
each scholar from the state from in
terest never received before. Be-
sides warrants on school fund can
be drawn by directors and bear ten
per cent. interest same as county
warrants. We do not wish to less
en- the school money, or in any way
hurt the interests of education, and
trust you will not be Inconvenience

them over to the treasurer by De-

much trouble to make the change

tage to US to make the levy three
mills instead of four, but we thought
it would be better for the public
