ELLENSBURG, Nov. 23-Damage
to property in the Kittitas valley
reached about 100000 from high
water. The Ellensburg water power
electric light plant situated on the
banks of the Yakima river, has been
out of commission three days, with
poles washed out and lines down. The
Cascade canal had half mile of flume
carried away and wrecked. The dam
and headgates Of the west side irri-
cation canal are washed away and the
of hay and spuds were carried off Of
farms on the lowlands along the river.
The government dam at Lake Kachess
broke, and the dam at Lake Gle Elum
was damaged.
Easton and Thorp, towns of 200 in
habitants each, were made desolate
the population fleeing to the hills for
safety. Houses and barns with their
contents are washed away and the
sion. The towns of Gle Elum and
Roslyn are getting low on food sup
plies. Both towns are cut off from all
source Of supplies.
No lives were lost as far as can be
learned. The Northern Pacific track
from North Yakima to Ellensburg
was badly damaged and one steel
bridge is in a dangerous condition.
West of Elensburg the track is
washed out in places for half a mile,
with two steel bridges practically gone.
The officials state it will be at least
two weeks before they can run trains
from Elensburg to Sic Elum and two
months before they can resume traffic
across the mountains. Large gangs
for extra work have been put on by
the railroad company and are working
day and night to clear the road as
fast as possible. II

Bad Traffic Conditions Cause The
Stagnation
But 10000 BUSHELS SOLO IN week
FOREIGN CROPS ARE 45,000,0O0
BUSHELS SHORT-PRIcES
ARE LOW.

Owing to the unsettled conditions
of railway traffic, the local wheat mar
ket is extremely apathetic, several
dealers not even going to the trouble
today of asking questions from their
houses.
Blue stem is quoted around So and
SO cents and club at Sc, f. o. b. At
these figures the aggregate sales for
the week have not exceeded 10000
bushels. Commenting on the situa-
ton the West Coast Trade says this
week:
The lull in the market continues in
evidence. There is a slack demand
on the part of the exporters, who do
not care to speculate on the future
developments under present rathr
unsatisfactory conditions.
European buyers are still holding
off, and there is a comparatively weak
undertone abroad. More unsatisfactory
still is the inability to move wheat
| to tidewater from the interior. Buyers
are well stocked up with wheat pur-
chased during the higher prices, but
| it is almost impossible to secure trans
grain.
prices continue as heretofore at
CSC for bluestem and &c for club. The
export movement is now very active,
and cargoes are being given quick dis
patch, clearances since the first Of the
! month aggregating over 100000
bushels from this port.
The wheat market continues in a
rather anomalous condition. There ap-
pears to be a fundamental weakness
largely upon the accepted figures that
the American crop is largely in eX-
cess of last season, and prices at Chi
cago are ruling about II cents below
the range last year, despite the Off
set contained in the falling off in
exports to date from Russia, the an
ube and Argentina the shortage from
those countries aggregating nearly 49,
100000 bushels, compared with a gain
of 100000 bushels from the United
States. Yet, with the expansion in
exports from America primary re-
ceipts have increased but little over
the same time a year ago.

FIGHT THE SAND WITH GRASS
o. r. & N. Trying Novel Experiment
in WaIIuIa District to Protect
Right of Way.

An interesting experiment to COM
bat the shifting sands south of Wallula
will be tried by the o. r .& N. The
company has put a large force of men
and teams to work levelling the right
of way which will be sowed to rye and
grass. So.
Once the vegetation is growing, the
railroad officials believe that it will
prevent the drifting of sand on the
track which caused thousands of dol
lars loss to the company annually.
The experiment is being tried I'M
der the direction of Section Foreman
c. Gum, who has experimental sue
cessfully with growing rye and GER
tain kinds of grasses, in the sand belt.
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful the company will probably SOW
to grass the entire right of way
touched by the sand belt.

Food Value of Eggs.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their favor is~aaf TsaJtSsda by
Inc iood of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped investigators prove that the
egg deserves it's reputation as an
easily assimilated and highly nutri-
tious food, if eaten raw or lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at twelve cents dozen are
a cheap source of nutrients; at six
teen cents, somewhat expensive, and
at twenty-five cents and over, highly
extravagant.
The basis of comparison was the
market prices of standard flesh foods
considered in relation to their nutri.
tive elements. But there is physio.
logical constituent of eggs which is Of
great value, yet it defies the search OF
the scientist or the inquisition of the
statistician, and that is their palata
bility. Unless food, however rich in
proteins, is relished, it loses much OF
it's value, while, per contra, less
chemically desirable food that is en-
joyed becomes valuable by reason Of
| that fact.

He Was IncOrruptabIe.

In the opening days Of the American
Revolution, when France had recog-
nized the independence of the United
States, and we had shown ourselves
determined upon stubborn resistance,
the English Parliament were driven to
final "conciliatory bilP' for the re-
covery of their colonial possessions.
Most everything was conceded by this
act. but-nowhere was allpsion made
to absolute independence. Lord Car
Isle, William Edsen and Gov. john
stone, in the capacity of special COM
missioners, brough the bill to America
and lost little time submitting the plan
of Cancellation to Congress, together
with an insolent letter. That body
hardly gave it consideration, but forth
with rejected the plan proposed by
the ministry.
Fooled in every attempt, but not dis
MAYED, the commissioners now re-
sorted to measures distinguished IN
infamy and baseness. They opened
secret correspondence with members
of Congress, and, through a female
agent, Mr.. Reed, delegate from
Pennsylvania, was offered $4,000 and
the best office in the colonies that MS
majesty could bestow if he would use
his influence in favor of the concilia-
tory bill. Mr. Reeds reply, as well as
memory, should be enshrined in the
hearts of every loyal Pennsylvania
1t was simply this: II am not worth

FAIR STUDENTS IN REVOLT.
Object to the Measuring Methods OF
Their Gymnasium Instructor.

The girls of the-freshman and sopho-
more classes of the University of Gin
cinnati have been going about with
traces of tears on their cheeks, and
asking each other, Have you been
scheduled"
At first the girls did not know what
Scheduling" meant when they re-
ceived confidential notes from Miss
Edna Earl Hope, teacher of the girls
gymnasium work at the varsity.
Their presence alone in her private
room was requested at such and such
a time. The "alone" looked mysteri-
Gus and the girls held consultation.
Then the bravest faced Miss Hope.
When she went in to Miss Hope her
face was eager, but when she came
out it was scarlet.
"And what do you thinkW she whis~
pered: "You-have to-take off all
your clothes
"And after she gets your clothes ON,
what thenr chorused the girls.
Then the first girl told, with tears
and gasps, how the new gym teacher
placed an adjustable rig about the hips
and measured them-the hips-yes!
And she measured the arms and the
'er-'er-legs. The bust expansion and
the length of the fingers, and now
big the chest is when the girl takes
long breath, and how little 1t gets
when the girl expels her breath. Then
she subtracts the difference, divides
it by two, and multples the result by
three, and says:
There's where you ought to be, and
maybe you'll be that by the end of the
year, when the second physical exami-
nation comes"
The girls held an indignation meet
ing the latter part of the week, and a
committee was secretly appointed to
wait on President Dabney.
"But," said the girls on the commit.
tee, 1--WE would rather take one OF
those scheduled things than to tell a
man about it."
Because of the excitement of those
girls who were scheduled" Miss Hope
has now provided a garment in max

results may come from the growing Of
this variety. But no matter how
much care may be given these condi-
tons, only partial success will come if
inbreeding is permitted. The use of
diversified males with small females is
Of less advantage than the use of
smaller males with wellmatured,

probably an equal footing the one the
tyrant Of the air and the other the
king of game birds. Both were hunt
ed by the Indian, the eagle to furnish
plumes for his war bonnet, and the
!, turkey, Of course, for food.
But now the eagle seldom Is hunted
and still more seldom ever killed or
captured, while the turkey Is found
in hundreds Of thousands of farm
yards.
Although the North American wild
turkey is a beautiful and respondent
game bird, with feathers of black,
shaded with rich bronze and illumi-
mated with lustrous finish of coppery
color, his domesticated cousin, while
improved nothing in appearance, has
been bred up to outweigh any other
domestic fowl, thirty or thirty-fve
pounds being not uncommon among
prize turkey flocks.
According to the Department Of
Agriculture the growing of turkeys
has improved within the last few
!, years as result of determined effort
on the part of producers of what is
termed STANDARD bred or exhibition"
stock to demonstrate that 1t is more
profitable to use p~rS, hred .hrc'
stock than ths, ~ FL 49, :, s y;nnr,

Els to introduce throughout the
country the several standard varie-
ties of turkeys have greatly improved
our turkey growing industry. This
effort has supplied rich, new, vigorous
blood throughout the whole country,
adding strength and virility to in
Vulnerable flocks, many Of which had
become considerably deteriorated
through inbreeding.
Deterioration Through Inbreeding.
The fact that one formulation is
sufficient to render fertile all the eggs
of one laying has made possible the
undermining of the health and vigor
of the present-day domestic turkey.
Being advised Of this, hundreds Of
people depend upon their neighbors'
f1ocks for the services of male and
pay no attention to the matter of
breeding stock except to keep one or
two turkey hens. This has reduced
many of the turkeys throughout the
country almost to a condition of i'm
becility. The lack of vigor in a large

THE NATIONAL BIRD,
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

| ing, people have become so disheart-
ened in some localities with the mea.
ger results Of their efforts to grow
turkeys for market that they have de-
sisted from the attempt.
Mr.. T. f. McGrew, of New York,
wellknown judge of poultry and
writer on breeds and breeding, has
written a turkey bulletin for the De-
partment Of Agriculture which is
known as Farmers Bulletin No. 200,
and in this he says that there is no
other kind of livestock that will return
so large profit to the successful pro-
Queer as will poultry, and no kind of
poultry is more profitable than turkeys
when properly handled. The fact that
turkeys will, from the time they are
six weeks old until winter sets in,
gain the greater part of their entire
living from bugs, g~asshoppers and
waste grain that they pick up in their
wanderings over the range, assures
their existence through this period at
little or no cost to the grower. In
other words, they may be termed self
sustaining foragers, where they have
sufficient range.
The Bronze Turkey.
This turkey holds the post of honor.
1t Is possibly cross between the wild
turkey and the tame turkey, which lat
ter is generally believed to have de-
scended from either the North Ameri-
can wild turkey, the Mexican wild
turkey or the Honduras or Ocellated
turkey. Its beautiful rich plumage
and it's size have come from its wild
progenitor. To maintain these desir-
able qualities, crosses are continually
necessary. In this way the mammoth
size has been gained, the standard
weight ranging from sixteen to thirty
six pounds, according to age and sex.
The col0ring of this variety is a
ground of black blazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the SUMS rays are
reflected from these colors, they shine
like polished steel. The female is not
as rich in color as the male, but both
nave the same color and standings.
Much Of this richness of color is lost
