tee this morning.
1.-THE department has about 900 feet
of 16-inch pipe to lay for the distrib-
uting system to complete the line as
far as the Wickersham bridge, from
which place water will be temporarily
diverted from Mill creek into the new
line

supplied with mains sufficiently strong
to withstand the high pressure will be
connected up to the new system
Those parts of the city not supplied
with high pressure pipe will continue
to be supplied from the present sys-
tenn until such time as the old mains
can be replaced and the pressure low

Deemed 90 costly.
Councilman Kirkman shed some new
light on the reservoir question this
morning by stating that the reason
the construction of a reservoir at this
time was being held up was because
the cost of material was so exOrbitant
the committee figured something like
$1,000 could be saved the city by wait
ing until there was reaction in the
price of cement which will be used
largely in the construction of the
reservoir. plant
There is no urgent need Of a reser-
voir until this fall anyway and. as
the price of cement is almost prOhibi-
tive, the committee has decided to de-
lay work on the reservoir until later
when the present high prices may be
lowered" said Chairman Kirkman.
"The question of a site for the reser-
voir is now under consideration and
probably be settled within a short
t1me.~

QUEER BLEND IN BLUE STEM
Inspector King Finds Red Kernels
In Wheat. .
SAMPLES OF GRAIN TO Be TESTED
FARMERS DECLARE 1T is BETTER
GRADE BUT MUST AWAIT
DECISION OF COURTS.
SAMPLES OF GRAIN TO Be TESTED

According to Deputy State Grain
Inspector King, samples of new blue
stem wheat shipped from Walla Wal
la Walla to the Inspectors office for
testing, contain a curious blend of
red and white kernels which appear
exactly the same except for their hue.
Deputy Inspector King is somewhat
puzzled over the new variety of
wheat and is to make test of the
samples for the purpose of ascertain
ing if the red kernels are as good as
the white. Farmers sending the SAM
pie assert the red kernels are as good
if not better than the ordinary red
wheat
The tests to be made are expected to
determine whether or not the wheat
is to be graded as blue stem. Inspec-
tor King says the difficulty in grad
ing the wheat as blue stem, is that
growers of red wheat in other vicini-
ties would clamor for the same
grading, while their wheat might be of
an inferior quality.
Reports from State College.
Deputy King has just received re-
ports from the state college at Pull
man of tests made by the experiment
station of a large number of samples
of wheat sent there the first of the
year by the inspectors office.
These were from twenty-five differ
ent growers scattered through vari
Gus parts of the state. Some were
made at the request of the grain office
and others at the request of the farm
ers The tests were very thorough
growers, millers and all wheat men.
Tested by Weight.
Each sample was tested by weight.
1t was analysed to determine the pro-
portions of moisture, ash, crude pro-
tell anu "A
test was then applied to show the yield
of bran, shorts and flour. The feeding
value of the products was learned and
the amounts of protein in the bran,
shorts and flour are given in the re-
ports Another test determined the
dry and moist gluten. The Bakers
Sponge test was applied to determine
the amount of water absorbed by the
flour, the average time of rising and
the average rise per gram. The last
method of examination, baking test
showed the volume of the loaf, the
loaves produced from a barrel of the
flour.
