addition TO this plant there Is a large
steam plant at Charleston And the
company is putting in another plant
of 1000 horsepower above Asotin,
water being conveyed IA miles in a
cement-lined ditch. The electricity is
conveyed to Charleston by a double
pole line direct to Moscow and Pull
man. The current that will come to
Pullman rs 22,500 volts, three phase
system, and will be transformed into
1900 volts at the transformers locat-
ed at the city hall on the ground floor
The line is built so that a great deal
more power-45,000 volts, or 1000
horse-power-may be brought into
the city II occasion demands 1t.
Many of the business houses are
planning to install motors and II is
likely that Pullman may be able to
secure some small manufacturing in
dustries with the power at hand to
do so with. The College electric light
system will be discontinued and the
new power turned into all of the
houses of the town that are wired un-
der the old system.

tury, but it was also his privilege to
take part in many of the stirring
events which occurred during that
time. He was born at Raleigh, n. c.,
in 1905, and consequently was lad
of years at the opening of the war
of 1912. With his parents he moved
to Kentucky and Illinois. where they
lived during the early settlement per-
iod OF that country. In 1923 he was
married and moved to Iowa, which
was then the frontier of the United
States. In '53 he came to Oregon and
settled at Corvallis. which was but a
village at that time.
AS was to be expected OF one who
passed his life in the west during the
days when the Indians furnished the
chief peril to the settlers, he saw
considerable Indian fighting. He wa:
in the famous Black Hawk war which
was fought out in Wisconsin. Illinois
and Iowa during the years lS23-34
Later, after coming to Oregon, he saw
further Indian fighting and was a
the battle of Rogue River Meadows
where he served with great credi
and was commended by his command

During the late years of his life tn,
old veteran delighted to recall his In

He had not great admiration for tn
Indians as a class, though he woul'

FARMERS FIGHTING SALOONS.
Would Keep Them Outside of Five
Miles From Pullman.

The Pullman Tribune tells as fol-
lows of the efforts of the Washington
State Grange to keep liquor out of the
reach Of students of the State Agri-
cultural college:
The action of the farmers conven-
ton in declaring I'm favor of abolish
ing saloons in Pullman, the home of
the Washington State college, came as
surprise to many, but is now known
that persistent work along this line
had been done ION the quiet" and
before the resolution was introduced
in the convention a pledge had been
circulated among the farmers and
many of them had signed the pledge
which provides that each one will use
his personal efforts and influence
with the legislator from his district
asking him to support the measure in
the next legislature.
The bill will be sweeping in char
acter. 1t will provide that no saloon
pool room or billiard room be allowed
within five miles of the Washington
State college. Should such a bill pass
-the legislature it would settle the sa-
loon question in Pullman forever, for
, there is little likelihood OF its ever be-
ing repealed. If once enacted into
. law.
With such resolution passed by
| the Washington State Grange, the
strongest farmers organization in the
state with more than 10000 members
and by the farmers convention, with
delegates from every county in the
state but one, 1t looks like q determ
ined effort is to be made to drive
! saloons from Pullman.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

F1RsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dir
ziness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number Of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases Of the female organism Al
nothing else can.
For thirty years It has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation Of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TH1Rp.-The great volume Of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many Of which are from time to
time published by permission, give abb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. inkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.-Women suffering from any
form Of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way Of recovery
|; advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law OF Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
visiugs sick women free ofcharge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

unless there are ladies among the
guests, the wife and daughters of the
host do not appear at dinner In Japan.
Before the meal begins it is customary
for them to bring in small cups Of tea
and dainty confectionery, when they
take their survey Of the party.
If gentlemen only are present, the
Japanese hostess disappears after
greeting is over, and does not return
until the guests are taking their depar-
ture, says a writer in Smiths Weekly.
At a signal from the host, barefoot
ed waiting maids, dressed in graceful
and prettily tinted kimonos, bring in
lacquer trays bearing tiny covered
bowls. Before setting the trays on the
tables, the maids sink gracefully to
their knees, and bend forward till their
foreheads touch the floor. Then they

Roseleaf Jam ; jasmine Jelly.

An enterprising p%rovinci l jam max
er, says the London Express, is adding
these Lainties to his list of novelties
and, greatly daring, he will also aspire
to jasmine jelly and preserved lilac.
The managing director Of a famous
London firm considers the new venture
feasible, but too poetic to suit all pal
ates.
."We Lave been asked several times
for rose-leaf JAM" said he, "but at
present we do not consider it advisable
to make flower jams:
"Violets, however, preserved or crys-
tallized, have always been popular deli
-eacies."
