Single Seed Potato.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Sept. 23.-One bushel of po-
tatoes or ninety-five spuds," raised
from one seed potatoe is the record of
Bert Davis of Ames. While sorting
out potatoes for seed last spring Davis
found one potatoe that differed mater
tally from the rest in the number of
eyes that it contained. There were
seventeen eyes and he cut the potato
so that there was one eye to the piece
and planted it in seventeen hills. When
he come to dig his potatoes this fall

bushel of potatoes of excellent kind.
While they are not especially large and

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-According
to information furnished the Associat-

ior, the attempt to shoot Chief of Po-
lice Neidgardt Of Odessa yesterday by
Young man who fired revolver at
him. was not connected with the Jew
ish question of mobilization Of troops
now proceeding in Odessa. The man
was evidently Russian factory en-
,ploye as when arrested he shouted:
.Long live labor" He obstinately re-
fuses to disclose his name and is not
believed to have accomplices. Probab-
ly he is a person of unsound mind who
wishes to initiate Sasoneff, the assas-
sin of the late Minister Won Plehve.
It is doubtful whether this abortfve at
tempt will lead to change in the en-
peror's plans to visit Odessa on the oc-
casion of the departure Of the troops
for the far east. Mobilization at Odes-
sa has been entirely successful, except
as regards Jewish reserve men, SO per
cent Of whom have eluded the call to
colors by going abroad or transferring

WANT WALLA WALLA WHEAT
SAN FRANCISCO BUYERS ARE IN
cREAslNG DEMANDS FOR
VALLEY PRODUCT.
AGENTS Now in the Field Trying to
Purchase Large Quantities OF
the Crop.

The demand for Washington wheat
from California this year will break
the record. The partial crop failure
and decreased acreage coupled with
the increasing liking for Walla Walla
bluestem by the millers of the bear
state is driving them up here already
to secure the wheat. Not only have
many letters come to local millers, but
several travelling representatives of
California buying companies have been
here the past few weeks
E. S. Isaacs said this morning: In
ouiries from millers have been fire.
uuent. 1t is very evident that Cali
fornia buyers see the necessity of 60
ing elsewhere for wheat. There is no
better evidence necessary to confirm
the report than that the California
crop is short He said that it was
most unusual to have so many inqu1r-
les from that section so early in the
year.
Ben c.. Holt, jr.. attributes the Cali
fornia shortage to two causes; bad
weather conditions and decreased acre
age devoted to wheat. Said ne: 1t
will be seen from the statistics that
each year more and more land is put in
orchards and garden stuff for which
there is a ready market in San Fran
cisco. This cuts down the wheat acre
age and consequently the wheat output.
Also in the northern part of the state
the crops were badly damaged by the
excessive rains this year which flood
ed the crops, While in the southern
portion there has been a deficiency of
MOISTURE There will be almost a total
failure in that section. One farmer
from the San joaquin valley who was
up here a short time ago said that he
had not yet cut his alfalfa because
the excessive hot weather following
the late rains had burned it all up.
Charles Holt of the Holt Manufac-
turing company, estimates that there
is only about 20 per cent of the usual
acreage in wheat in California this
year and that only about half crop
will be harvested from that 20 per
cent. This means under half a crop
for California this year.
Another factor in the increasing
California demand is the favor which
Walla Walla bluestem is finding there.
bluestem wheat works all right and
they are not raising enough of it down
there, consequently lots of Walla Walla
wheat is going to that state.
1t is hard to tell just how much of
our wheat does go to California as
many of the great buying houses like
Kerr, Clifford & Co, and Balfour
Guthrie & Co, have offices in San
Francisco and the farmers here will
sell to them as usual without knowing
how they dispose of the increased
amount. 1t is said that it will be more
profitable for farmers to send their
wheat direct to San Francisco and
in Portland or Puget Sound

will be considered. The tax agents of
the Northern Pccific and O. r. & ~
are expected to be present al the meet
ing and personally press their claims
for a reduction of the assessment on
railroad property in Walla Walla
county,
Up to o'clock today the following
additional complaints had been made
against the assessment and reductions
We're asked for, the complanants al
leging that their assessments We're out
of proportion to other property in the
same locality.
O. P. Jaycox & Contradiction from
$500, on buildings on Alder and Sec
ond streets, to $4,000.
Williams Jones-Reduction on his
three story building, from $500 to
$4,000

At a late hour this afternoon j. w.
Morrow. tax commissioner of the O. r.
& \. and Manager McCabe of the w.
& C. r. appeared before the board in
regard to their assessments. August
II was set as the date for the hearing.
1t will probably occupy all day.
Mr.. Morrow stated that he was very
much in earnest about this matter and
that the company felt :---t the assess
ment was most unrea sOnable and out OF
proportion with other things. j. y.
McCaW said that the commissioners
wanted to do what was right to which
Mr.. Morrow replied that was all he
wanted. 1T is too bad he said, that
the feeling here in eastern Washington
is so strong against the railroads.
The interests of the roads and people
are Identical The wheat is of no value
without TRANSFORMATION and the road of
no value without wheat
He said that the company could
imagine no reason for this dor.1iiT1g OF
the assessment.
Mr.. McCabe said: 1t scares US 70
death. If the assessment prevails 1t
will bankrupt our company.
