make-they can push their cargo-com-
bines to winning, sure. Do you know
what that would mean to the farmers
in dollars and cents?
Save Growers 1920 This Year.
The crop this year in eastern
Washington alone is estimated at 3d.
100000 bushels. The state inspection
department figures that per cent of
that crop is smutty-that would give
6,4O0,000 bushels of smutty wheat The
combines discount is, as said, to 20
cents. Call it an average of cents.
At cents there would be a saving
of cents a bushel, and of 1892, 900 on
this one crop.
1.-The saving these decisions make
directly for the farmer, without neces-
stating any subsequent effort by him,
when it refused to classify So, 5Sh
and 5SA test wheat as No. 2, 1 figure
at s16O,0O0 for this year alone. Ffgur-
ing that one-quarter of the whole crop
would test on an average, from fifty
eight to fifty-eight and three-quarters.
and the price difference is 2 cents a
bushel between No. and No. grades.
Then there is a profit possible-in-
deed, probable to come on heavier test
ing wheat, the sixty, sixty-one, sixty
two and sixty three pound wheat,
which is now confiscated at a No. l
price. The commissions decisions
showed that sixty pound test wheat
was worth more than a fgty-eight or
fifty-nine pound test 1t showed this
by that admission of the Portland
chamber of commerce committee, and
by the extract on prices from the mill
ers association secret compact.
San Francisco is paying more for
sixty pound test wheat than for a fifty
eight pound test. San Francisco needs
from Washington, Oregon and Idaho
this year 10,O00,0O0 bushels of heavy
testing wheat.
Offer 1t to San Francisco.
Let the farmers combine offer their
heavy test wheat to San Francisco
buyers They won't have to make
many such offers. The millers- export
ers' combine will promptly come to
time, and pay the additional price that
heavy testing wheat is worth. The
farmer is entitled to it-let him get his
own He can win just as sure as 1 did
wnen 1 introduced bluestem wheat in
this state. The original seed came
from Australia. Dement, Brothers
brought it to Walla Walla l sowed $50
acres in it and advertised the crop for
seed. Sold it all for seed but one car
load, which l refused to sell because
all the milers and exporters said it
was worth no more than club.
Il sent my reserve car to the Sperry
Bros. Milling company at san Fran
cisco, and they wrote me: Our price
now, and hereafter, for sucn wheat is
5 cents a hundred pounds over the
price of No. 1 California shipping
That was cents a bushel over club
price. 1 published that letter, and
from that date eighteen years ago, to
this bluestem wheat has brought that
premium over club everywhere from
everybody That one piece of work Of
mine made the farmers of this state,
in this year alone, $4,000. Don't you
see the application? It's directly to
the point. It. by demonstration, makes
plain that when the farmers combines
find one buyer who will pay more
than the milers- exporters combine
they have then and there started the
disintegration of that combine"

WILLIAM n. REED ASSERTS
THERE is STRONG ONE IN
THE STATE.
He Claims That the MilIers and Elk.
porters Have United Against the
Wheat Raisers.

William H. Reed, a member of the
state grain comission, and the holder
of several thousand acres of land in
Walla Walla county, believes that the
Washington Millers association and
the exporters of the northwest nave
combined against the wheat growers.
Reed is the man who introduced blue
stem wheat into the northwest at Wal
la Walla, and has, for years, taken a
lively interest in the development of
the cereal industry. In an interview
given out at Tacoma upon the millers-
exporters combine, and also upon the
probability of the farmers combining
for protection, he said:
When the commission gave out to
the public that agreement of the mil
lers-eXporters' combine, which bound
each member not TO compete in buying
grain, to keep the buying price down,
they practically told the farmers that
there was a conspiracy on hand which
to pay them less than their grain was
worth. and to charge them more for
shutting than they were fairly enti-
tied to receive

Farmers Must Fight.

THE farmers can and will fight that
conspiracy, and they are going to de-
feat it. How? Meet the buyers COM
bine with a sellers combine. The
farmers will make numerous combines;
bunch up all over eastern Washing
ton Oregon and Northern Idaho, and
make their offers in cargo lots. They
will offer these cargo lots to the COM
bine and to buyers not in the combine.
and While they are out cunning they
should kill two birds each shot by say
ing when Offering their cargo lots:
The smutty part not to be discounted
over cents a bushel; no part to be
sold unless the smutty grain goes at
that discount That'n do the job.
The commission proved the injus-
tice of the combines 5 to 2O-cent dis
count on smutty wheat by citing the
discount prevailing in Minneapolis of
but cents a bushel. Let me read you
letter, giving smutty wheat discount,
from the Northwestern Consolidated
Milling company of Minneapolis. 1t
says: It would require dockage from
two to three pounds for washing badly
smutty wheat and wheat not very bad,
would require about one pound for
scouring.'

NEW THING IN GOLF BALLS.
Remade by Catfish with Jonah Fin ish They Are Vastly Im-S
 proved.

Fishermen in the lower waters of ths Blue and along the Missouri in the vii cinity of the Blues mouth, complain Of an ailment of the catfish which seems to be general. It was first sus. pected, says the Kansas City Journal, that yellow fever is mixing things with the cat water tribe, but on inves- tigation it is found that the trouble is all due to overdoses of golf balls On tracing the matter up the supply oi halls is found to come from the Elm Ridge links. where the players have phenomenal luck in losing balls in the creek
 At first the fishermen were indignant and their wrath was developed by an enterprising snitch, who urged an in- junction against the Elm Ridge club in general and the bum players in par. ticular. This promised good lawsuit. when, unfortunately, fisherman dis. covered that a catfish full of golf balls is worth more than a straight cat. This changed materially the financial flavor of the case. Then 1t was dis covered that a golf ball remade by a catfish, thus imparting Jonah finish, as we'll as flavor, adds to the value of the ball by improving its going quail ties, This starts rev ball on the market and upsets the snitch in his calculations.

EAT ALIKE AND THINK ALIKE
Differences Between Inhabitants of London and New York Are
 Disappearing.

The contrast between society in London and New York is not so great as many suppose, states London Black and White. There are more low dresses and diamond tiaras in London and more smart, tidy women in New York. More boards in London. and more clean-shaved chins in Manhat. tan.
 There are larger hotels in New York and bigger hops: there are red pillar toxes in London. and smaller gray ones in the city on the island; but these things are small details; in the main, both cities are much alike, and the men snd women behave in much the same way.
 We have no street to compare with Fifth avenue. and they have no park to compare with Regents park: and no Westminster abbeyl But we drive out and dine just the same, we eat and think and dress and read just the same, or. anyway. SO much alike we seem like one big family party. which is just as it should be.
 The contrast in manners and thought Is lessening day by day as England and America are becoming more strongly welded together and society Is becoming more and more alike

.FOR AMERICAN GIRLS
slo, 900 TO FOUND ENGLISH
 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THEM.
i Colossal Scheme Put Forward by the Society of American Women in London-To Rival Rhodes
 Benefaction.

Tn this day, when so much is being done educationally for the American woman, and she is achieving such sue cess in almost every field into which she chooses to venture, no new scheme in her behalf need cause wonder or special comment, but if the plan initi- ated by the Society of American Wo- men in London meets with the success anticipated by it's promoters it will prove an enduring monument to their courage and wisdom. According to the plan, American girls will be given similar facilities for obtaining educa- tional training at English universities that Is now afforded American boys by the Rhodes scholarships. It will neces- sitate an endowment of $10,000,000. but this immense sum not only will be raised, 1t is said, but it Is proposed that the entire amount shall be con- tributed by American women.
 The president of the society. Mrs. Webster Glynes, says, confidently and with courageous smile: T am sure we shall get it." And Mime. TEayer, chairman of the educational commit tee, echoes a similar sentiment when she exclaimed: T am confident that we shall succeed in raising it
 The idea of providing such an su- dowment for the conferring of scholar ships on the women of the United States, similar to those of the Rhodes scholarships. was first suggested by an address delivered before the Society of American Women by the Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell, wife of Earl Rus sells brother. and the daughter of Mrs. BearsaIl Smith. well. known American philanthropist This was in April last, and 1t was then proposed merely to bring over few women who had been graduated from Ameri- can colleges and give them years course at some English university.
 'Of course" explained Nine. Thayer. who, by the way. is an American from way back. being descended from Roger Williams on her mothers side, it is not on the ground that the American girls would learn more in English rni- versities--more book learning-than they would acquire at home, that we propose to provide these scholarships for them Education-culture-in the broadest sense Is not matter of the acquisition of mere knowledge. Eng | land has much to give which we ! American women need for our sFiritu- al and physical betterment-a broader and less personal outlook, mental boise and calmer nerves-and 1t is only en- vironment that can give these things
 The plan proposed by the London Society of American Women for the raising of the s10,00O, 900 is to present the matter fully to the forthcoming

COYOTE CAME TO TOWN.
Cowardly Prowler of the Plains In- ," " lvvadessg the City in Search e'''
 of Prey.

It Is the usual run of things to find the coyote out on the plains far from the haunts of man. At sight of man he fees and hides, never by any chance facing his enemy. The coyote has been dubbed king of towards. It was a most unheard of occurrence, then, when a short time ago a coyote was found in the back yard of MT. F. Bertin, in the heart of the business district of San Francisco. For some time Mir. Bertin noticed that his chickens were disap- bearing and there had been some talk of strange yellow dog that the Jap anese settlement next door had seen sinking out of his yard, but such an idea as the yellow dog being coyote never presented itself. until the poor little coyote was found in vat, where he had fallen trying to make his es- cape. He had broken his leg. The poor wild thing was treated kindly, how. ever, and will probably be sold to the Chutes, the geological garden of San Francisco But the coyote in captivity has never been a success. He never loses his cowardice and such a thing as teaching him tricks is out of the question.

FIRE DESTROYS DEPOT.
TivoIi, N. Y., Visited by Destructive
 Flames-Loss Over S3O, ,OOO.

TIVOLI, N. Y., Nov. 13.-Fire which Is alleged to have started from the sparks of a locomotive on the New York Central railroad destroyed the freight station and storehouse and sev- eral buildings here, and for a time the entire place was threatened with de struction.
 The intense heat of the flames swept across the tracks and warped the rails to such an extent that traffic on the railroad was delayed nearly six hours. The flames soon devoured the freight station and storehouse and Washburn's coal and lumber sheds adjoining. A stiff breeze drove the flames across the tracks until they licked the big hotel and several other buildings near by. An engine company from Madalin saw ed the hotel, but two tenement houses. an ice house. large frame building, an adjoining shed, signal tower "A and Richard Hoffman's grocery store were destroyed before the fire was under control.
 The loss is estimated at from $30.000 to s50,000.

PLAGUE AT HAVANA.
A. Z. Outwater of Passaic, N. J., Dead
 of Yellow Fever There.

A. Q. Oufwater of Passaic, N. J., Dead
 of Yellow Fever There.
 HAVANA, Nov. 13.--The case of H. V. Chilyers, the New Orleans electri- clan who was taken to the Las Animas fever hospital, has been diagnosed as yellow fever.
 The Spaniard who was stricken Sat urday and isolated in the Clerks hos pitaI died there last night.
 There are now two cases of yellow fever at the Las Animas hospital and one suspect, a Spanish woman, who is under observation.
 Permission has been received from the health authorities at New York to ship the body of A. z. Outwater, who died Saturday night, victim of the fever, to his former home at Passaic, N. J.
 The slight development of the So called secondary cases has encouraged the belief of the yellow fever experts that there will not be much of a spread of the infection.
 It has developed that the opening of a number of cases of electrical ap. paratus from New Orleans which were consigned to a firm in the Payret theater building liberated many mos quitoes. The first person to be attack ed by yellow fever here was member of an opera company playing at the Payret theater.
 All of the other cases have originated in this vicinity, and this gives color to the theory that the mosquitoes from New Orleans carried the infection.
