Whether the board OF county COD
m1ssioners is to appropriate the sum
Of $4,000 for the proposed Stubble-
field home will probably be decided at
the next session of the board, which
commences Monday morning. Pet-
tons which were circulated through
out the city and county asking the
board to appropriate the sum stated
have all been returned and the mat
ter will come up for final disposition
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Along
side the petitions to help the board to
arrive at a decision will be the re-
mOnstrance OF Waitsburg and east
end-of-the-cOunty taxpayers who are
opposed to the appropriation and who,
through their spokesman, Attorney
Ormsbee, Of Waitsburg, served notice
on the board at the time the remon-
appropriated Injunction proceedings
would be commenced against Auditor
HOneycutt from issuing the warrant
and Treasurer Hawley from paying it.
Both sides are expected to be lib
orally represented at the meeting
Monday afternoon and lively times are
looked for before the matter Is Off
cially settled. Members of the board
have expressed themselves as expect
ing condemnation, whichever way
they decide the matter, so the fear Of
popular disfavOr they say will have
little influence in their arriving at a
decision one way or another.
Another matter which comes up at
the November session and which is
expected to worry the board some be
fore being settled is the appointment
of three road supervisors for the new
road districts created under the new
law passed by the legislature at the
last session. The new law takes eff
feet in January 1t is understood that
a score or more Of applications for
the positions have been received from
each district and the selections will
hardly be made without considerable
balloting.

Seattle-A jury in the superior
court awarded J. E. GrissOm $4,000
damages against w. d. HOfus for in
juries inflicted on his left leg by a
vicious bulldog, alleged to have been
kept on the defendants premises on
the tide flats. HOfius, who claims that
he is not the owner Of the dog. gave
notice OF appeal to the supreme court
Brissom is a millhand employed on
the tide flats, and claims that the dog
attacked him as he was passing in
front of the premises Of w. D. Hofus
& Co., on Connecticut street. The
plaintiff claimed that the wound in
flicted by the dog incapacitated him
from work for considerable period.
He also confessed that he was a vic
tim of the popular notion that a per-
son bitten by dog was forever after
ward in imminent danger of develop
ing hydrophobia and this belief prey
ed on his mind. Considerable testi-
mony was introduced to prove that
the dog was known to be vicious, and
had menaced other pedestrians who
had occasion to pass the Hofus yards
The defendant pleaded that he was
not the owner Of the dog, but that it
was kept by the firm of W. D. Hofius
& Co., as a watchdog to prevent petty
thieves from frequenting the yards
of the company at night 1t was also
alleged that when the dog bit Girls
som he was trespasser upon the
firms property.
The case went to the jury Wednes-
day evening, and a sealed verdict,
awarding the plaintiff $4,000, was re-
turned into court Thursday morning.
The case was tried before Judge AL

tUtL IN POTATOES.
Inland Empire May Become Seat OF
Vast Enterprise inv Few Years.

As one of the greatest potato re-
gions in the world, both in quality and
yield per acre, the Spokane country
may some day become the seat OF the
production of potato alcohol, says the
Chronicle Government tests, 1t Is
asserted, have shown that the starch
percentage of Washington and Idaho
potatoes are higher than they are for
the spuds grown in any other part OF
the United States. The abundance OF
starch in these potatoes would make
them particularly adapted to produc-
ing alcohol.
That alcohol can be produced from
potatoes at a cost of considerably less
than 10 cents a gallon, providing an
inexpensive and nearly perfect fuel,
has been shown by tests. An agita-
ton has been begun among congress
men to have the duty taken from po-
tato alcohol for use in the arts, and
it is believed that if this concession is
obtained the production of alcohol will
be carried on on a large scale in the
pOIdIO 1CSiOuS VI ILO SOu1Oiy
Make Use of CuIIs.
In the central states, where there
are two bushels Of culls dug for every
bushel OF merchantable potatoes, the
agitation for removal of the duty on
potato alcohol has assumed import
ant proportions. The culls can be
used for producing the alcohol. The
culls in Washington and Idaho might
be graded nearly as high as merchant
able potatoes of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, and amount to less than a third
or half Of the entire crop. Produc-
ton of alcohol on a large scale, how
ever, In this region would provide
steady market for large potato crops,
and would keep the price more uni
form
If They Only Knew.
The Chicago Packer, organ Of the
National Growers and Shippers asso-
citation, has this to say about potato
alcohol and its production as big
boost for the potato raiser:
THE heavy tax ON the manufacture
Of alcohol shuts out the greatest out
let for the surplus potato crop. II
large potato growers realized Just
what they were losing every year by
the present federal laws they would
take prompt steps to secure al
amendment to the internal revenue
laws so that alcohol could be made
free OF tax, just as it is in Germany.
What Germany Did.
German scientists have made the
future Of the potato certain. Where
few years ago a large crop meant
absolute loss to many, today there is
an outlet for every bushel of every
kind Of stock The exporters who I'M
til recently depended upon the prices
in foreign markets now are absolute
ly independent. If another country
wants German potatoes it must pay
the price or the potatoes will go to
the alcohol works.
I'm 1896 in Germany the total crop
was 1880. 900 tons, while in 1901 it
was 4S,6S7, 900 tons. This enormous
increase is due solely to the demand
for potato alcohol. The German gov
eminent, by requiring the use of a
coloring matter in the potato alcohol,
insures its use in the arts and under
freedom from duty its production has
been enormous"
