An Event of Much Importance.

Count Leo Tolstoi's Resurrection. /" is
the story of young nobleman who be.
trayed an innocent girl and then deserted
her. Ten years later, having entirely
forgotten her, he finds himself one of a
jury, who, through an error convicts her
OF crime of which she is entirely inno-
cent, for which she is sentenced to ST.
IBERIA. He realizes that her life has been
ruined by his thoughtless cruelty and
tries to reclaim her even by bringing him
self down to her level. He gives all of
his land to the peasants and follows his
victim to the penal colony Of Siberia, even
Offering to marry her. Resurrection"
awakens many new ideas on the social
problem, and its argument, plot, charac-
tiers and surroundings are so vivid, so
real and so convincing, that it has been
pronounced the greatest novel of the
century and has interested the entire
world.
In dramatization it loses none of its
strength, in fact, with action and the adj
d1tlon OF many quaint characters and
natural incidents, it becomes, and is, one
of the best plays the stage has seen in
many years. The original American pro-
duction of this great play at the Pullman
opera house on May 10TH, will doubtless
prove one of the fashionable and princi-
pal events of our dramatic season.

Weekly Crop Bulletin No. 5.

Week ending May II:
The earlier part of the week was
warm and quite favorable for crops
in the western district, where there
was sufficient moisture. But on the
9th there was a very rapid and de-
cded fall in temperature, with Sc
we're dust storms in localities of the
eastern district, followed by heavy
frost at night which caused consid-
cradle injury to crops, In many
localities it cut down potatoes. corn,
hops and alfalfa, and turned the
growing wheat yellow. Fruit was
not much injured, apparently
For the most part crops have
made unsatisfactory progress, owing
to the prevalence of the cold, dry
weather. Spring wheat has not

Whitman's Valuation.

County Assessor Duff has pre-
pared his report of the assessment
of the various towns and villages of
Whitman county for the year 1908,
and his Office force is now at work
on the reports for the rural dis
tricts. The assessment rolls show
marked increase in the wealth of
the county, and it is thought the
assessment for this year will be
fully 100000 greater than that of
last year. When it is taken into
consideration that the value as as
sessed is only about so per cent of
the selling value of the property,
Z and that all real estate is assessed
on the same value as last year,
while the true values have adj
vanced at least Is per cent, this
report gives but faint idea of the
vast increase in the wealth of
Whitman county during the past
year.
In 1902 the assessment rolls show
ed the property values of the county,
as fixed by the deputy assessors, to
be $12,813,232 Mr.. Duff says he
is confident the values this year
will reach fully $13, 100000. Every
town in the county with but two
exceptions, namely, Uniontown and
Sunset, show an increase in value
of assessable property over laet
year. These two show decreases of
$3.50 and $40, respectively. Colfax
leads with the largest increase, viz,
$22,350 Pullman is second, with
an increase of $16,0O5.
The assessed value of property in
the principal towns of Whitman
county follows:
Colfax, $541 ,S05; Cotton, $23, $40;
Endicott, Sc, ITO; Elberton, 500, 800;
Pennington, 500, 155; Garfield, $97,-
'6S5; Guy, $22, 1915; Johnson, 81, 275;
Oaksdale, $120,410; Palouse, $751;
1856; Pullman, $274,755; Rosalia,
$52,860; st. John, $14,660; Tekoa,
SOL sos; Uniontown, $27, 300.
Assessor Duff's report shows in
'creases in the value of town prop
erty as follows:
Colfax, $22,350; Cotton, $3.50;
Endicott, $3.50; Elberton, 1920;
Pennington, 1890; Garfield, $500;
Guy, $2665; Oakesdale, $45; Pa
louise, 1925; Pullman, $16005; Ro-
salia, $5735; Tekoa, $8045; Union
town, decrease, $3.50. Total increase
in values, $67,O 40.
As there was no increase in the
value of town lots. which were as
sessed at the same valuation, as last
year, the increase is solely in inn
provemehts.

A YOUTHFUL SCIENTIST.
Inventor of n Wonderful Device 10
Make the Deaf Hear.

Scientific men all over the world are
deeply interested in the discovery
made by Miller Reese Hutchinson, Il
young inventor, who by means Of an
electrical device has seemingly dem
onstrated that the deaf can be made
to hear.
The instrument as explained by the
inventor is an application Of the com
bined principles OF the telephone and
the microphone, the latter being a
very sensitive scientific instrument
for the maguifying Of sound By the
combination sounds are vastly magni-
fed through the outer and middle
ears to the inner ear and the auditory
nerve.
In operation the instrument sends
the air waves against the tympanum
and forces It to vibrate. thus vibrating
the middle ear and loosening the three
vibratory bones so that they perform
their functions. II was the use OF
this appliance. II is said, that enabled
Queen Alexandra Of England to re-
gain her hearing. which for some years
had been impaired Mr.. Hutchinson
is the happy possessor OF a gold med
al given him by the queen for sciens
uhc research and investigation"
While pursuing his investigation
the inventor made a study Of the hu-
man ear under one OF the leading
aurists OF the country, acquiring a
thorough knowledge Of its mechanical
construction. Speaking OF this phase
OF his research. the inventor said: II
am an engineer, electrical and me-
chanical, and the human body is
mechanism. The perfecting Of my in
vention has been due to the application

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
Others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.

and gives the child growing

mel promises to be successfully complet-

menced Oh October S'h with a crew of
eleven men, In charge Of Mr.. Joseph

number employed was increased to
thirty-five. The total cost for labor and
material is about SO, 800, which is borne
by the owners of water power, compos-
ing the Skowhegan Water Power Co.,
Of which Frank A. Nolin is treasurer.
No accident to any Of those employed
has occurred. The structure is about
236 feet long and is 30 feet high at i,s
highest point. Near the southern end
of the dan Is log way, twerty-four
feet wide, depressed five feet below the
general lavel, for the convenience of the

placed was built nineteen years ago. II
Is thought that, as now constructed, it
will last for fifty years.
