A WAREHOUSE WRONG
Farmers at Garfield in a Peck
of Trouble.
Ran In Debt Several Thousand
o. Dollars During the Past
Three Years

Another farmers warehouse seems to
have gone wrong, but it is possibly
through severe competition, as the man
agement claims.
At a regular meeting of the stock
holders of the Farmers Warehouse Com
pany at Garfield, held few days ago,
the share holders found themselves in
trouble. The company is in debt $500
and has capital stock Of $7000-350
shares at $40 each.
Originally these shares were scattered
among many farmers, but it il now
claimed by minority holders that 70
per cent liz held in few hands, and that
$40 shares cannot now be sold for 10
cents.
In the eleven years of existence of the
company it has been under the manage
ment of Hon. j c. Lawrence. Up to
1898 dividends were paid ranging year
ly from % to 80 per cent. Since 1898
the dividends have ceased and the small
stockholders found at their meeting
that they were in debt $500 and short
of wheat $500 bushels, according to
their story.
Manager Lawrence has drawn $1,000
year as salary, a boOkkeeper $500 a
year and a weigher $75 month during
the receiving season.
Mr.. Lawrence explained the apparent
shortage az having been blown over the
fan, the difference in home and terminal
weights, and also says the wheat trust
has borne the individual operators
down so hard there have been no
profits.
At the meeting Mr.. Lawrence voIun-
tarily cut his salary half, agreeing to
serve for 5000 a year. Michael Byrne,
who has been one of the three directors,
refused to serve longer and Thos Me-
Gown was chosen in bis place, along
with Bryan WestacOtt and c. A. Gwinn
Mr.. Lawrence was re elected az manager
Prior to 1898 the dividends were
ST sc for every dollar invested

Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Miller returned
Saturday from an extended visit in both
the middle and far eastern states, says
the Paouse Republic. With the excep
ton of the intense heat, the trip was an
enjoyable one. Mr.. Miller says the crops
in Kansas and Missouri are for the most
part ruined. In New York farmers were
blowing for their spring crop the middle
OF June, the latest in 40 years. Mr.
Miller gives as his opinion that the price
OF wheat in the Palouse country this
season will be somewhat better than
last. He says he expects to handle more
grain this season than ever before, and
that he is at home prepared to do bust
ness on q large scale.

SUPREME COURT SAYS VOTE,
If You Do Not Cast a Ballot You
Are Out.

Olympia, Wash, July 18.-The su-
preme court today affirmed judgment in
the case entitled j. A. Strain, appellant,
VS.. S. S. Young, ct al. This action was
brought by appellant against the re-
spOndents, who constitute the board OF
county commissioners of Garfield coun
ty. The complaint alleges that on the
18th day of July, 1900, the courthouse
and ali county buildings of Garfield
county were totally destroyed by fire,
The county commissioners submitted to
the electors the question of mourning in
debtedDess and issuing bonds for 500
600 to build Il courthouse and at the
November election of 1900 462 votes
were cast for issuing bonds and 226
against, while 1923 votes were cast for
president in the county. Thereafter the
board of county commissioners declared
that three ffths of the voters of the
county had voted in favor of mourning
this indebtedness. Appellant is a resi-
dent and taxpayer of Garfield county
and prays that the respondents be re
strained from issuing said bonds Re
spOndents demurred and the lower court
sustained the demurrer and this appeal
taken therefrom.
The opinion states: "MOre than three
tifths OF those who saw proper to ex-
erclse their right to vote upon the prOpO-
sltlOn aseented to the increasing Of the
Indebtedness. Ii other voters who had
the opportunity to exercise the power of
the ballot declined to do so they can
not now complain upon any principle of
right or justice. Voters should be
sufficiently interested in the public vel
fare to go to the polls at the time of an
election and vote upon the proposition
submitted. If they fail to do so then
under our Interpretation of the constitu-
ton those who actually do the voting
upon the propositions submitted must

under the age of months That their
flesh is far superior to spring chicken.
Then when full grown they can be sold
for from $18 to $24 per dozen; that is
the price they are quoted at in San
Francisco and Portland. That they eat
no more, nor as much, as an ordinary
rooster of the same age. Why don't our
farmers try it?
