On Tuesday DIR. S. 4. Nelson, pro-
lessor of veterinary science at the coll
ney killed, the same being in the last
stages OF tuberculosis. This is very
rare disease in Eastern Washington, tliis
being the first case ever discovered in
this locality. Cows having this disease
are apt to communicate it to other ami
mails, or even to human beings who use
the milk or the flesh. The Reaney COW
had been isolated, however, since being
sick, SO that it is not probable that she
communicated the disease to other stock.
The farmers of the Union Flat coun-
try are greatly elated at the prospect Of
the new line of railroad to be built by
tie N. F.. company from Pullman, as it
will save the long iiauis TO market. The
new line will catch nearly all Of the inn
mense crops that now go to Almota and
other points, making a great saving to
the grower. While it is not probable
that the line could be built through to
Connell in time to move this years crop
OF the Palouse by the short cut to tide
water the road can and doubtless will
be built down the fat so that the crop
can be hauled to it, and out by way of
Pullman.
Hon. l.. NJ. Ringer states that the
Northern Pacific can build no line of
road that will add more to it's revenue,
or do go much in reducing operating ex-
penses by making shorter and easier
haul than the line now projected by it
connecting Pullman with the main line
by way of Connell. 1t will be a down
hill pull all the way for the loaded trains,
cutting out several steep hills over which
"helpers" are now needed, aud will give
the road great advantage over all COM
petitors. 1t will also catch the bulk of
the grain that now goes down Snake

The w. A. G. base ball team went
to Moscow last Saturday to play the
Moscow city team. A fine game result
ed for seven innings, at that stage of the
game the score standing to 6 in favor
of Moscow, each team having put up
rattling good ball. The game, however,
came to a sudden termination in the
first half of the eighth by the refusal of
Moscow to abide by the decision of Um
pire Fudge. The Moscow pitcher made
ready to deliver the ball, going through
all the preliminary gyrations, but after
ward threw Pullman man out at sec
ond. Umpire Fudge called this "balk''
declaring the man "safe" at second, and |
ordered the game to proceed. Moscow
refused to accept the decision, and the
umpire would not back down from just
decision, the rules plainly supporting |
his contention. Captain Winston there
upon showed a proper spirit by calling
his men off the diamond, and the UNI
pirs gave the game to Pullman by a
score of 8 to 0. The Moscowites refused |
to give the Pullman team its share OF
the gate proceeds, and treated their Wis
itors in any hut a gentlemanly way.
Since then the Moscow team has chall- |

game, but the w. A.-C. boys should GER /
tainly not play them again till last Sat-
