Walter Wellman's aerial trip In

dents In the field of journalistic ex-
plorahbns. Stanley found Livingstone
In the heart of darkest Africa for the
New York Herald, and that was the
beginning Of great enterprises backed
by newspapers in emergencies where
other resources were wanting.
Over thirty years ago an attempt te
explore the upper air currents for
key TO aerial navigation was backed
by a newspaper, the New York Daily
Graphic, then new venture and much
In need of an advertising boom. In
the first year Of its publication the
Graphic financed an ascension at New
York, directed by Washington Donald

ry which the aged aeronaut, John Wise,
had advocated almost half century
Wise believed that there is an mir cur
rent moving eastward which would
carry balloon to Europe. and once he
sailed from st. Louis to Jefferson coun-

took it up. The ascension was a fail.

of the aeronaut the company would

Fifty men and several teams are at
,vork near Colfax on the grade for the
Snokane and Inland electric line, ac-
cording to the Commoner. The num-
her Of men will be increased to 100,
working in day and night shifts, so as
70 rush the work of construction. Two
cars of powder and complete outfit
of tools and implements are on the
ground.
Eugene Brown, of Colfax, has Sc
cured patents for two devices useful in
the handling of wheat. One is an
appliance for storing grain in ware
houses; the other is a portable steel
granary which can be set up in the
field or wherever needed.
The curfew ordinance is to be en-
forced at Pennington. Beginning
this week all youngsters under sixteen
must be safe at home after dark.
The touch of winter has been gem
eral over a large part Of the country.
The winter wheat is considered safe,
but the damage to fruit crops may be
severe. The Snake River growers
will lose large part, if not all, of
the apricots, considerable percentage
of peaches and perhaps some cherries.
The railroad tracks along the Snake
have been blocked with sand, delaying
all trains. The wind reversed its US
ual direction, blowing down the river,
thus rendering useless the fences put
up to keep off the drifts.
Excavation has begun for new 80
x7O structure at Waitsburg. The new
building is being put up by Roberts
and Henderson and will probably be of
concrete.

1t is said of Marshall Field that none
took more precautions than he against
unguarded exposure to taking cold.
Whenever entering a room from the
open air, in any season but summer, 1t
was his invariable rule to remove his
overcoat even IL for only stay Of a
few minutes. 1t was the Irony OF fate
that, after all, he should die of pneu-
monia, as that Edward Atkinson, the
apostle OF simple living, should have
died of acute indigestion.

There is an idea current among the
farmers of this part of the state that
the Palouse soil is too fine for any
system of tile drainage. The depart
ment of agriculture at the college has
carried out an experiment which APP
parently proves this notion to be I'M
founded. A piece of low ground was
provided with ordinary tile drains.
and was in poor condition, the good
results obtained exceeded expectations.
The drain pipes are now running water
and the soil is firm enough to drive a
wagon on, although similar draws not
drained are still knee deep in mud.
The ground will be ready to work as
soon as the high land, while ordinarily
it would not be ready till June. 1t
would pay any farmer to visit the col
lege farm and investigate this matter.
A visitor to the U. S. experimental
grass plots just north of the armory
will notice that orchard grass and
meadow fescue excel all others in Wig
or and earliness of growth.
C. w. Lawrence has gone to Quincy,
Wash, to superintend the spring SOW
ing of wheat in the experimental work
with the cereals. The station has
plots in different parts of the state,
Quincy and Ritvzille, for example, in
order to observe the effect of different
climatic conditions.
Mr.. w. w. Tracy, Jr., of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry, Washington
City, visited Pullman this week. He
is investigating conditions in the
northwest with the idea of instituting
commercial seed growing OIL an extern
sive scale. He may establish farm
for this purpose in this part of the
state.
The w. S. C. basketball team de-

naslum for some time. This victory
gives the local team the right to the
championship of the Inland Empire,
having defeated both Idaho and Whit

Statements are being made that Miss
Roosevelt on the occasion Of her mar

the rulers of foreign governments. II
the offerings were wholly spontaneous

The Journal OF Commerce observes
that the collapse of Russian credit,
which seems to be feared, would shake
the whole financial fabric of the world,
and the close relations of this country
with money centers of Europe would
deeply involve us with the calamity.
In that case the good offices of the
United States in the peace crisis of
1905 were well timed for more reasons
than one.

Sleep and Snap.

The up to date scientist has opened
fire upon another time honored tradi-
ton by declaring that the sleepy head
Is not the one who sleeps too much
One British Psychologist has declared
that growing school children need much
sleep, and several prominent physicians
have united Ia an appeal to the public
to let the young, especially the boys,
sleep. They say that the "early to
bed" part of the popular axiom is too
often lost sight Of, and parents lay toe
great stress upon the early to rise
end as a maker of health, wealth and
wisdom
The physiological side is that too lit
tie sleep lessons a boys power of fix
ing attention on work and causes slack
ness and WEAKNESS in games. Nine to
ten hours sleep is declared essential
for the average boy of thirteen to six
teen years of age if he is expected to
be bright and awake as his father and
teacher would have him. The lying
In bed part can be safely left with the
boy, but the early going to bed and to
sleep may call for parental Interior
ence, although it is doubtful If the
strap would operate as a sopOrifc. Sick
people may sleep themselves well, and
the weak may sleep themselves strong
A boy is a growing animal, and most
animals sleep much.

The protest by the League Of Amer
lean Sportsmen against the automatic
gun, which kills whole flock Of birds
at one shot, would have a truer ring
IL the gentlemen behind 1t were not
themselves guilty of what they con-
denim as q vice In others. Killing is
killing whether the victims fall In
groups or one by one. The sportsmen
want to preserve the bird species to
prolong their pleasure in killing. In
cidentally they may remove some farm
pests, but the method is not nobler
than the wholesale slaughter which
may be done to preserve crops.

This is the Chicago Tribune's sum-

When Secretary Taft arrived In
Havana Mosher was asked to resign

by the Cuban government. Accord.
Ing to this contract the expense OF
