BEAVERS AGAINST
CUMMINS
important Case Decided
Lower Court Affirmed.

The Supreme Court has handed
down IA decision in the case Of Beavers
VS.. Cummins, ct ais, affirming the de-
cision of the Circuit Court of this
county.
The case was tried before Judge
Henson at the December term of the
court last year, and judgment render
ed in favor OF Beavers, An appeal was
taken by Cummins and the Farrady
Coal Company, and the lower court
sustained.
The case excited considerable inter
est here, and the facts generally are
familia. Briefly they are rs follows:
In 1901 j. NJ. Beavers, J. n. Hartman,
Nj. G.. McCorkle and Thomas Hankins
secured an option from Il. Barnett and
wife, of this county, on "a tract of coal
land, consisting of 317 acres. on which
an option had already been given to
Stephen Ef1ler, and transferred by
Effier to Mr.. Cummins. President OF
the Fairy Coal Co. Cummins failed
TO take the land under the Effler option
when the time expired, and asked fol
two weeks extension. Two days after
this Beavers secured an option from
Barnett and wife, which WAS aclknow
lledged before ii notary, AMI the sum OF
Sl.OO paid as a consideration. Barnet
gave Cummins written notice that an
arrangement had been made to sci
the land, and to deliver the Effiel
option TO Beavers, which he refused TO
do. Before the expiration of the
Beavers opiian Barnett was rendered
the cash payment for the land by
Beavers, which he declined. and "a few
days later conveyed the land by deco
to The Farrady Coal Co.
Beavers instituted suit against Bar
nett and wife and The Farrady Goa
Company for Il deed to the land, Will
the above result.
The price paid for the land wa.
SO so per acre. 1t is now said to b,
J worth much more, as it is undertake

Tomato Crop Not Good.

Indications are that the tomato crop
throughout the greater part OF east
ern Washington is a poor one this
year The trouble, Horticultural Com
missioner Won HOlderbeke says, is due
to a blight or bacterial disease, and he
recommends the following procedure
as a preventive. Of course, it is too
late to do anything this year, but the
growers should do something next sea-
son to avoid a repetition of the trou
BILE. Mr.. Won HOlderbeke says to
first supply the soil with humus and
second to plant the tomatoes in the or
chards, which will partially shade the
plants, or alternate in planting with
rows of corn in the absence of trees.
The plants should be mOistened when
ever necessary, which will be deter
mined by the appearance of the plants.
If the leaves begin to wilt in the mid
die of the day and at night take on
fiabby appearance instead OF
Strengthening out, it is an indication
that they require water. 1t is neces-
sary to cultivate as well as irrigate
the plants. Over irrigation will close
the pores of the soil, which shuts out
air and heat, necessary to decompose
the necessary elements OF plant life.

who know it, because once it, or either
of these burs get in the wool they can
never be removed and great damage is
done the clip. Besides this, the sheep
carry and scatter the seed.
"Mr. Stevens found these plants in
the lane between here and the upper
bridge. He said he watched the plants
grow from the time they came through
the ground and he felt certain that
the owner of the land would extermi
nate them, but as he did not he him
self pulled them up just as the burs
had formed, and thus put an end to
their mischief. People generally and
sheep men in particular should keep
a look out for this great menace and
promptly stamp out the nuisance
whenever it may be found"

A Menace to kittitas Valley.

The Ellensburg Capital in its last

be a serious menace in the Kittitas

cleft at this office thrifty and almost
ripe specimens of two plants, the in
PRODUCTION of which will mean untold
damage to Kittitas valley. One is the
burdock and the other is the cookie
bur, both burs of the most tenacious
character and alarmingly prolific. Mr..
Stevens declares that the former plant
left by him easily contains a million
seeds and had this specimen been al
lowed to ripen the species would have
had a great start. Aside from its fe-
cundity, it carries dread to sheep men

CoIfax Wheat is Hiqh.

Last week in ColfaX wheat prices
went higher than had been the case in
a long time Cub and red grades sold
for 70 cents, while bluestem went to
76 cents. Large sales were made
throughout Whitman county at these
figures. Farmers are jubilant, and
many expect higher prices. While
large sales are being made, few are

THE FIELD
Pacific Coast Wheat Yield

The preliminary estimate of the
federal department of agriculture OF
the Washington winter wheat yield is
11.426 061 bushels, which is nearly
1000, 900 bushels larger than the &C
tual crop of 1903. 1t is said the enor
nous crop of this year is not due so
much to an increased acreage as to
a phenomenal yield. This yield OF
11,426,061 bushels of winter wheat
averages more per acre than that OF
any other state in the union. The de-
partment places it at 1858 bushels.
Idaho is a close second with 26.2 bush
els, while the average for the whole
country is placed at 1878 bushels. or
course the figures, both as to total
yield and as to the average, are liable
to be somewhat modified, owing to
the attack of black rust in many sec
tons, but approximately they are cor
rect for purposes OF comparison. 1t
might be well to call attention to the
fact that winter wheat conditions on
the Pacific coast are in striking con-
trast to those which obtain In other
parts of the country, for there is eSu-
mated to be a loss of about 90 ,OOO,OOO
in the crop of 1904, as compared with
that of last year. The official prellm-
mary estimate, SUBJECT 10 COlloClIOii
in December next, gives crop OF
47.567 ,697 bushels on the west coast
that is, in the states of Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon and California. Last
years Pacific coast crop was SO OS3,-
S91 bushels.
The indicated winter wheat crop IN
Idaho is about 100000 bushels
larger Cor nearly so per cent larger)
than last years; Oregon's is about
900 600 bushels larger and CALIFORNIA;
is about 100000 bushels larger. The
conditions were better on the coast
than anywhere else in the country, and
they were far better than they were
last year in the same states In all
four of the states under consideration
the acreage yield was larger than last
year This is the second year In
succession that Washington has led
all the states in the union in the pro-
ductiveness of it's winter wheat soil.
The department will make no est,
mate of the spring wheat crop until
October. The conditions throughout
the Pacific northwest region are eX-
cellent, however, except in certain
small localities, and the prospect is
that the Washington crop will be up
wards of $1,000 900 bushels, and it is
the belief of the agricultural depart
ment that it will go little more.

In sections of Whitman and other
eastern Washington counties the
wheat straw is rather heavy and the
heads light in consequence. This
makes the yield little less than was
at first estimated, and the expense of
more, on account OF the ad-
ditional time necessary to handle
heavy straw

The United States government is
now taking daily measurements or
the amount af water carried by the
Wenatchee river. This is the first
time in the history of the river that
any measurements have been taken.
While nothing definite is known re-
garding the motives back OF these
measurements, it is presumed that
they have some relation to the ma
tional irrigation scheme.

Walla Walla and PendletOn reports
indicate that heavy sales of wheat
have been made at both points, at

cars was so heavy the first week or
ten days after threshing had COM
menced that the railroads rushed cars
in by whole trains. From the Pendle-
ton section considerable wheat was
