WASHINGTON WHEAT
Ifop outlook This Year Said to Equal That Of
Last.

Seattle, May 9.-'The wheat crop Of
washington is now in more promising
condition than it has been this ear,v in
the season for years, and the outlook ;s
for crop this year fully as largo "a tho
phenomenal yield obtained from The
wheat fields in 1901"
luis statement was made by E. Cardin.
the manager OF the Seattle Grain Com.
Pany, yesterday, in his office in the
uioDe building. Mr.. Cardin returned
yesterday morning from a trip through
number of the most important wheat
producing districts in the state. in
Adams and Lincoln counties, and he re-
celved advices from the Walla Walla.
Palouse and Horse Heaven countries
which confirm his actual observations.
1t has been predicted that the crop this
year will. be rs per cent. below that of
last year, 80 ,00O, 900 bushels, the record.
put Mr.. Cardin is of the opinion that the
l9O2 crop will equal if not exceed it's
predecessor.
1.-THE wheat lands which l have lust
seen resemble one vast lawn" continued
MIR. Cardin. II hever saw more beau
tiful sight in my life. Stretching away
for miles and miles is this beautiful
green carpet. For several weeks early
in the season the weather was cold.
The wheat farmers began to feel that
the season was not going to be propitious
and were somewhat discouraged, but all
the while the wheat was growing down
and getting good start. This was seen
as soon as the first warm weather came
and the warm sunlight to draw it
upward. Now all kinds of grain are
springing up and are enjoying moro
substantial growth than would have
been the case if the spring had opened
warm.
"Ten per cent more wheat land is
under cultivation in the state than last
year. This will make q material addi-
ton to the years production. The new
land is located in nearly all the wheat
districts and is under cultivation largely
by newcomers from the East.
"The outlook for prices and for hand
ling the coming crop is extremely good,
too. Never before have the warehouses
of Washington been 90 depleted of grain.
Last years wheat has been sold 80 close
that market conditions in the East have
little effect on the local market. There
is almost no wheat left in the country.
The new crop will come into clean
elevators. The prospect of doing bust
ness with new wheat exclusively is graf.
flying"

REFUSE TO ARBlTRATE.
Mine Owners Decline Proposition Made by
Their Employers.

Scranton, Pa, May i0.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
announced that the anthracite operators
had refused the miners proposition to
submit the entire question in dispute to
an impartial board of arbitration. The
executive committee OF the mine workers
is now considering the advisability OF
calling strike.
Mitchell said that Senator Hanna had
been unable to take official action as,
owing to the rules of the Civic Fedora
ton, both sides had to agree to arbitrate.
He had, however, acted as an individual
in an effort to restore peace, and
although the operators had refused to
agree to arbitration, was still laboring
to bring about such result.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS.

Olympia, May 9-The state board OF
control yesterday morning announced
the appointment of DR.. w. H. Howells,
of Spokane, as superintendent OF the
Eastern Washington hospital for insane
at Medical lake. He succeeds DIR. j. ID.
Mclean. DIR. Howells has been at the
hospital during the past two months in
the capacity of assistant surgeon. DR..
Howells is an expert on insanity. be
has not been in the state of Washington
very long.
Olympia, May 10.-Puruant to a re.
quest of Governor Mcbride for an advis-
ory opinion as to his authority to ap-
point q lieutenant governor, Attorney
General Stratton has handed down an
opinion of which the following is di-
gest:
"There is no provision of law for the
election of q governor to fill vacancy in
the Office of governor, so that the lieu
tenant governor continues to perform
the duties of governor for the unexpired
term.
81 do not think there is any vacancy
in the Office of lieutenant governor, but
even if there were, upon the authority
of cases cited do not think it could be
filed by election. For it is more no
ticeable because the constitution pro-
vides for the election of persons to fill
vacancies in the Offices of supreme and
superior court judges.
"If cases may arise in which lleuten-
tenant governor may be appointed, in
any event can he be appointed unless
there be a vacancy? Without stating at
length the reason l have arrived at these
conclusions:
81. That there Is no vacancy in the
office of lieutenant governor, and there
fore no such officer may be appointed.
"2. That in the cases where the
lieutenant governor performs the Office
of governor, the constitution provides
for the election by the senate of presi
dent pro tenn, who performs the same
duties the lieutenant governor does
when presiding over that body that the
constitution gives no expressed or i'm.
piled power to appoint q lieutenant
governor in a ease of this kind, aud the
exercise of such q power would interfere
with the expressed powers granted to
the senate.
Olympia, May 10.-C F. O'Brien. dem
ocratic member of the legislature from
Pasco, rendered his resignation as leg.
islator yesterday. He says that bis per.
sonal business affairs will prevent him
from giving attention to matters of state.

Road Plan.

mittee on public lands gave hearing
on the bill introduced in the interest of
the Alaska, Yukon & Gulf Railway Com
pany, granting right of way to construct
the road from Valdes to Eagle. The
land grant feature of the bill was espec-
tally discussed. H. Helm, of New York,
the promoter of the railroad scheme,
appeared for the company, presenting
arguments in favor of the proposed
grant Of land.
Several members of the committee,

Tho hormal secretion Of the oriBce
OF the ear IS the product OF glands
situated IN the outer half Of the canal
only. This s~ecretion-the cerumen, or
ear wax-ls slowly poured from the
gland ducts as a thin, yellowish liquid.
AS it quickly loses a large amount Of
It's watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admixed with dust it
forms a thin layer, waxlike in color
and consistency, which normally Gov
ers only the outer portion Of the canal,
that in which the glands are located.
This layer Of material probably has
it's chief function, in common with the
few small hairs I'm the same location,
in protecting the ~vibratory membrane
the drum-from the contact Of dust.
1t Is interesting to observe that the
exit Of this layer Of wax is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the
car canal by the movement Of the jaw
in chewing and talking, a motion read
lily felt by touching the ori6ce with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase Of the secretion
is therefore provided with q CORE
spending loss, which takes place almost
as imperceptibly as the constant loss
Of the superficial layer Of the skin from
the surface of the body.
This explanation serves to make
clear why the use of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
of such objects is not only superhu-
Gus, but it is often the cause Of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent.
Even too vigorous washing with a
twisted cloth or sponge, for example,
may result in pushing the wax back
into the canal until a mass sufficient
to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated.
The first intimation Of the presence
of impacted wax is often the sudden
occurrence of n considerable degree of
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen on a damp day or just after or dur
ing a bath. A slight amount of mois-
ture cause the mass to swell so that
the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal is
closed. If it is not now removed, the
mass may shrink and the hearing pow
er be temporarily restored, only to be
lost again when conditions arise caus-
ing an increase in the size of the mass.
Firm, gentle Swinging with warm
water from a piston a syringe is usu-
ally regarded as the safest and best
method of removing the mass. the
handling of which had better be in
trusted to a physician or trained nurse,

In making any sauce put the -four

A heavy salad is always out Of place
In an elaborate dinner. Mayonnaise is
permissible, but French dressing is
better. e.
If corned beef is very red, which
means it is very salt, put it to cook in
cold water. This draws out a portion
of the salt.
When croquette mixtures are too wet
to mold and shape, put in more chop
ped meat or fish or in n desperate case
finely pounded breadcrumbs.
In making custard for lemon pies it
is better TO partly bake the crust be-
fore adding the mixture so that it may
not be absorbed by the paste.
Gingerbread is improved by adding
to it, when mixing, a cupful of chop
ped prunes. Use the Juice of the
prunes instead Of water and mix the
dough a little sitter.
