Z MILLION DOLLAR RAINl D
4 GREAT PROSPECT FOR CROpSl
SG-cSSGS@I%

While the rains of the week have
caused postponement of the Fourth
of July celebrations i'll eastern Wash
ington, they have assured big
crop of all kinds of cereals, fruits,
etc, and there is great rejoicing
throughout the land. The ground
has been most thoroughly soaked,
it having been one of the most
drenching rains ever known at this
season of the year, it having contin-
ued steady downpour for three
days. There was little or no wind
and the water has nearly all gone
into the ground. Crops were not
sufe, ing for water, and fall wheat
would have mace good yield with
out it, but the spring wheat was at
WONT where the rain was most well
come, and it is now question
which will make the best yield, the
fall or spring wheat. Vegetables
and pasturage have been especially
benefited.
The value of the rain can not be
estimated. The conditions are the
best, rains having come when need
ed, and the Palouse country will
add another to its remarkable record
of bountiful crops.
Some Of the heavier wheat has
been laid pretty fiat, but much of it
will come up again with few warm
days, and that which does not can
be made into hay But the timely
rains are worth millions to the
country, and but bear out the faith
our people have in the best agricul-
tural district in the world

~ EWS NOTES.

The largest hotel in the world is at Palm Beach, Fla. It has ll62 rooms, the structure being in length equal to seven city blocks. It Is practically six stories high. The rate for rooms on the fifth floor Is $5 % per day, but it is taken for granted that that price in- cludes meals.
 Four hundred million dollars are to be spent this season by the railroads of the United States for improvements that will amount to rebuilding a large portion of the trunk lines. Many mil. lions are to be spent for rolling stock so much heavier than anything now in use that 1t becomes necessary to rebuild bridges and track to carry the 130-ton locomotives and the cars containing 50 tons of cargo. A million men will find work on these vast projects for rebuild ing railroads all over America this com- ing year. The Brooklyn Eagle tells all the details of this vast enterprise, and the Hartford Poet of March 21 copies the Eagles article. Suffice it to say it takes over two columns of the Post to reprint the article.
 On motion of the defeudauts, the in- uAosDcus AShluc u0l0n WumanS fO6b, Col. o. o. Post and 0. F. Burehman of Sea Breeze. Fla has been quashed at Jacksonville. Fla, by Judge Locke of the United States court. It will be remembered thst few months ago it was affirmed, by way of criminal charge, that Helan Wilmans Post, the leading Mental Scientist, had devised scheme to defraud others and had used the United States postal establishment to accomplish her purpose. The indict- meat alleged that she was to obtain money from others for treatment and fraudently coovsrt 1t to her own use without rendering any service or thing of value therefore. The court now holds that if Helen Wilmans Post be- lieved what she professed and acted in good faith towards those who had placed their confidence in her, she was legally justified in making her claims in refer. ence to mental healing. Also that ii was mt in the province of others, who denied that che possessed this power, to interfere betweeen Helen Wilmaul Post and her clients SO long as she was acting Tn good faith and 2 ving them what they desired and had paid for.
