The organization Of an Alfalfa Club
by number Of the enterprising far
mers of Claiborne county is move
in the right direction and one that is
attracting attention al lover the state.
Alfalfa is one of the legumes that has
proven profitable in several sections
of the state and will likely soon be
one of our most important crops. The
prairies of East Mississippi and the
Delta have proven especially adapted
to its culture, five tons to the acre
with five or six cuttings being more
of a rule than an exception. The lime
sub-soil Of Claiborne county with 9th
er favorable conditions will in all prob
ability make it a success there, in
oculation not being necessary under
such circumstances. Let's have mora

BASKETBALL GAME IS OFF
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
TEAM WILL NOT BE HERE
TOMORROW.

Manager Rigsby, of the Whitman
college basketball team, is endeavoring
to arrange a game with the Washing

this game on tomorrow, but it has
been called off for several days on
account of a misunderstanding of the
date on the part of the Pullman man
ager The difficulty of securing dates
for the trip which Whitman will take
to play Pullman, Colfax and Moscow
is what is causing the hitch now in
scheduling the Pullman game here.
The Whitman team is engaging in
strenuous practice every evening at
o'clock in the gymnasium and every
body about the campus is confident
that the Whitman Agricultural basket
ball tussle will be a REPETITION of the
Thanksgiving football game or worse
The addition of Alpha Cox, the star
center, will make the team which
meets Pullman this year far superior
to the team which almost beat them
last season and missionary hopes are
consequently high.

OR is WALLA WALLA, WITH AZ
SALOONS, MODEL OF PURITY

Astonishing Difference Between tn,
Revenues From the Two Police
Departments.

Either Walla Walla, with her 4:
saloons, is a model of purity and So
briefly or else the police department is
sadly negligent in experimenting viola
tors of the law. According to the Pen
dleton East Oregonian there is an as
tonishing difference between the in
comes derived from the police de-
partments of Pendleton and Walla
Walla, although the Umatilla town can
hardly boast half the population OF
Walla Walla and compared to AZ sa-
looms mere has only about 25.
In a letter just received by Marshal
Coffman from Chief Alvah Brown OF
Walla Walla, the total receipts from
fines and forfeited balls at Walla Walla
during the past year is given as
$1,126.50, says the East Oregonian.
In Pendleton the sum of $11, 536 80
was derived from such sources during
the past year. Of this amount about
$4,000 was from petty offenders, such
as DRINKS and those guilty of dis
orderly conduct. The remainder was
divided about half between fines from
gamblers and keepers of bawdy houses.
In Walla Walla no regular fines are
imposed upon the latter places.

ASSESSOR BERGMAN TURNED
BY ONE OF THE COUNTY
CONNIE SIONERS.
Have to Pay Bills Incurred Through
Attending County Assessors
Annual Convention.

If County Assessor R. J. Bergman
attends the annual meeting of the state
assessors convention, which is to be
held in Olympia next week, he will
trip. This was intimated to the official
yesterday by one member of the board
of county commissioners. Meeting one
of the commissioners at the court
house yesterday, Mr. Bergman asked
for a leave of absence, informing the
commissioner that the county assessors
of the state would hold their conven-
ton at Olympia next week. The per-
mission was granted, but Bergman
was informed that if ne attended it
would be at his own expense. Hereto
fore it has been the custom of the
board to allow any Of the county Of
ficials attending such meetings their
expenses while making the trip. 1t is
claimed that Mr.. Bergman used all
his persuasive powers to convince the
commissioner that the meeting of the
assessors was an important one and
that many matters of particular inter-
est to Walla Walla county would be
considered. The commissioner, it is
said, could not see it that way, and
during the course of the discussion as
serted that the meetings of county of.
ficials, such as the assessors conven-
ton, were simply political gatherings

SYSTEM OF ACCOUNT.
ING PROPOSED BY SEATTLE
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.

A movement to secure a uniform sys-
tenn of accounting for the cities of the
northwest may soon be under way.
Ernest G. Shorrock, an expert account
ant Of Seattle, is one of those who are
in favor Of the proposition.
In the northwest there are no two
cities with identical methods of book
keeping" Mr. Shorrock is quoted as
saying. Some time ago a movement
was inaugurated With a view to having
cities of the first class introduce uni
form accounting methods.
"As conditions now are it is useless
for cities to compare their financial
conditions because the difference in
methods renders it impossible to show
one city's financial superiority over
another"

BIG TAX FOR BUTTER MEN
IF THE STUFF THEY SELL is
NOT UP TO THE
STANDARD.
Uncle Sam Will Soon Begin an In
spection Of the Article Sold
in the State.

Butter dealers in the state of Wash
ington may soon make the acquaint-
ance of Uncle Sam. A suspicion exists
that some Of the butter sold in the
state is not up to standard, and that
the men dealing in it are liable for the
payment of heavy fees to the govern
ment.
Manufacturers of adulterated butter
are required under the act of May g.
1902, to pay $500 year; wholesale
dealers $3.50 a year, and retail dealers
s4S a year. In addition all are re-
quired to pay the adulterated butter
stamp tax of 10 cents a pound. All
dealers, wholesale Or retail, as well as
the manufacturers, who are found SELL
ing butter containing an abnormal
quantity of water, milk or cream are
liable under the law to pay the special
tax and the stamp tax.
After the Creameries.
while all dealers engaged in selling
butter classed as adulterated are re-
quired to pay the special tax and the
stamp tax and the penalty Deputy
Collector B. D. Crocker is quoted as
stating, I'VE are aiming primarily to
get at the creameries and manufacture
ers who are putting adulterated butter
on the market. Sixteen per cent of
water is the limit that can be con-
tanned in butter that can be classed
as unauthorized, but we have found
lots of it containing as much as 20
per cent. The intention of the law
is that when man buys something for
butter he shall be entitled to get what
he pays for.
persons engaged in the business of
adulterating butter can by an outlay of
5000 or $500 for machinery produce
from butter bought from ranchers at
about Is cents pound an article they
can sell for 80 cents or more pound.
This is accomplished by the process of
padding or working over the different
kinds of butter in which are mixed
chemicals, water, sour milk, sweet
milk or cream to make it take on in
creased weight and by adding coloring
matter to give it uniform color.
How Analysis Is Made.
"All the samples of butter secured by
the inspectors are numbered and the
source from which they are procured
is made a matter of record. The in
spection by the government chemist
is made according to the number. and
his report is returned showing the
character of the butter manufactured
or sold at the places corresponding to
the number of the sample and 1T is on
this report that the collection OF the
tax is made if the butter is classed as
adulterated."
