The Russian Thistle.

This communication has been sent by
the Washington Agricultural college to
boards OF county commissioners
Gentlemen: A thorough examination
along the railroad lines of this state dur
ing the past season disclosed the pres
ence OF patches of Russian thistle III no
less than 10 different places. With two
exceptions the patches were small. con-
sisting OF not more than 100 plants, the
progeny no doubt of single plant intro
duCed the year before. The E6tler two
patches were quite large, one of them re-
quiring the work Of several men for 10
days to destroy it,. We believe that
through our efforts practically all the
Russian thistle in the state was de.
stroyed, though it is not al all unlikely
that some plants were overlooked.
In every case where the plant was
found it was evident that the railroad
was the agent that carried the seed
This is not strange when We remem bel
that every railway from the east passe,
through regions where this weed abound,
and as the plant isa typical tumble weed
it is inevitable that now and then one O.
them becomes attached to the wheel Oh
brake beam OF a, car. This is just a.
liable to drop off at one place an another
a very clear illustration of this was af
forded by three isolated patches founC
along the Northern Pacific railroad, one
near Pasco, Que at Kennewick, and on.
four miles east OF Badger, while between
these places not asingle plant was found
While the railroads are net the onl,
agents by which the Russian thistle car
be introduced, yet they are infinitely the
most important means. 1t follows, there.

THE PERRfNE LAND GRANT
Further Hearing BY the Senate Investiga.
ton Committee.
Mr.. Robinson, One of the Settlers, Ex.
nmined at Leneth-Amdavits
That Are Expected.

The Senate committee on public lands
this morning continued Its investigation of
the Perrine land grant case. There were
present in the committee room Senators
Dubois, chairman; Carter, Tillman, Nc
Bride and Wilson Mr.. E. /. Robinson, one
of the settlers, and attorney for other
settlers on the land grant, was examined
at length. He was asked the value of the
land OH the Perrlne grant, and said it was
worth $3.50 per acre in the back districts
He said the men who had worked in the
interest Of the railroad company were the
right men, who were located on the bay
front, and had been given the largest con-
cessions from the company. He said that
DIR. Cutler, the richest man in that vicin-
ity. was to have the town site. This he
had been told by Mr.. .Ingraham He said
the rich men on the bay front used their
lnnuence to have the back settlers sign the
agreement with the railroad company and
the railroad company had made threats
about what they would do in order to in
f1uence the settlers to sign. He said that
William Roberts, who had gone to sea, told
him that he had to sign the agreement with
the railroad company before leaving home
as he was afraid his wife and family would
be put out Of their home If he did not do So
He said that Roberts told him that when
he went to sign the agreement with the
railroad company. Mckinley. the attorney
1or the company, asked II he had ever
signed a petition to Senator Call and
whether he would sign another petition in
favor of the Perrines. Roberts told Nc
kinley he never would do so.
AfIidavits Expected.
Mr. Robinson said he expected affidavits
here In short time regarding the improve
ments made by the back settlers in con-
firmation of some statements made by him.
w. s. Holconbe, attorney for the railroad
company, who has been present during the
hearings made an objection to having let
ters and affidavits placed before the COM
mittee when the railroad company would
not have an opportunity. to answer them.
Mr.. Robinson suggested to the committee
the desirability of having an investigation
of this case on the ground, SO that the
back settlers might have an opportunity
to have thei" case properly presented. He
said these settlers had deiuged the de-
partment with appeals and letters, but re-
ceived no satisfac ton. but had only been
informed by the department that they
would have to go to Congress.
The examination Of Mr.. Robinson con-
tinued until about II O'Clock. when a recess
was taken by the committee until 1:30
o'clock this evening, when the investigation
will be continued.
