pieces Of work taken up at this SEES
sion is to impress upon the profes-

art Of embalming so that no contag-

the object of the Washington asso

B. S. Wadsworth, vice president O

to Walla Walla today. Mr. Wads
worth is making his usual monthly
trip to the city and Mr. Taylor being
in Pasco yesterday when the Seattle
excursion train came along, boarded
it and will spend the day visiting the
fair. He will return home this eve
ming.
without having actual figures al
my disposal l should judge the acre
age sown to fall wheat this season is
double that Of last year." Mr.. Wads
worth said this morning. There will
be very little spring wheat. If more
intelligent methods of farming and
anything like a normal rain fall count
for anything Franklin county should
raise a banner wheat crop next year
Some were discouraged by the poor
showing made this year, but as the
shortage was general all over the
state, the effect has been only to set
the farmers to work with a grimmer
determination to make the best OF
it. More careful methods in cult
waiting the land are being employed
and the result will be noticed when
next years returns come in.

MUST PAY THE CHECK.
Judgment In Suit for Money Lost
at Gambling.

Tacoma-Judge Huston has given
judgment for 5000 and costs against
F. Parton. of Sunnyside, who was
sued by Thomas & Elder, proprietOrs
OF the Peerless saloon, for a check
which the First National bank Of
North Yakima had refused to cash.
The check was dated February %,
1903. The plaintiffs alleged that Par
ton had borrowed the $500 and given
the check as collateral.
In his answer Parton claimed that
he had lost 1865 in the gambling
rooms operated by the plaintiffs, and
that the check represented the amount
which had been returned to him
through a peaceable settlement. He
contended that it was not the inten-
ton of either party that the check
should be cashed He further con
tended that there was still due him
$165 of the amount lost at gambling
and asked judgment for this sum.
A letter written by the defendant TO
the plaintiffs in which he asked them
not to prevent the check at once, as
he was not in a position to meet II,
was introduced in evidence against
him.
The court held that the borrowing
of the money was a separate and dis
tinct transaGNpn from the gambling
game, and that the plaintiffs were en-
titled to recover the amount of the
money loaned,
