Win Estes Claims That Grain Was
Not Hort.
HE MADE INVESTIGATION YESTERDAY
All Of HIS FALL SOWN GRAIN
is IN SPLENDID CON-
DITION.

After making careful investigation
of his fall sown grain on 1,4O0 acres on
Eureka Flat, Winn Estes, one of the
extensive farmers of Walla Walla
county. announced this morning he had
found the wheat was all right. In
company with John Edwards and Fred
Thiel he went over a large portion of
the lower flat and made a careful ex-
animation of the wheat. They found
that it had not been injured in the
least by the late cold weather. In un-
protected spots, where the wind had a
clean sweep, the blades of the growing
grain were slightly frostbitten, but
when the roots were examined they
were found to be in a good healthy
condition.
Mr.. Edwards who is farming a large
lot of land in that section, went over
every foot of his ground that had been
seeded last fall and he found his wheat
unhurt. Many Of the farmers in that
locality were very apprehensive as to
what the damage would amount to, but
they all now agree that not a single
wheat plant was destroyed.

MCGraW Wants to Retain Congress.
siond Delegations
THEY ARE EVER FAITHFUL SERVANTS
| DECLARES 1T is ONLY WAY
STATES FIGURE PROMINENT
LYNN NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
THEY ARE EVER FAITHFUL SERVANTS

MY trip to Washington convinced
me that it is wisdom on the part of
gress, and then keep them there for
all time. That is what makes states
great in the eyes of the political world
and that is just exactly what Wash
ingtOn ought to do
That is the way Ex-Governor John
H. McGraw opened conversation
with a reporter for the Seattle Times
in his private office, Coleman build
ing. Continuing, the governor said:
"The Washington delegation to con-
greess are all very busy and active and
good work They stand we'll with their
fellow members and command respect
and consideration wherever they go.
They also stand mighty we'll with the
heads of the various departments.
Il had occasion to visit a good many
of the departments with Senator Piles
during the two months 1 was in Wash
ington, and 1 found that the senator
insisted upon going to the departments
himself on all new matters and fire.
quently on old ones. He intends to
become so we'll known personally to
the various departments that the time
will come when all that routine work
can be done by his secretary in his
name
But I came back more strongly i'm
pressed than ever before that the
strength of any state in a congress
sional way lies in the keeping of her
delegations all the time in Washing
there than anywhere else I have ever
seen. For an example l can cite you
the state of Maine 1t has a small
population and a small delegation, and
yet her influence is all out of proper
ton. Why? Simply and solely be-
cause when she gets a good man in
congress she keeps him there year af-
ter year. That is also true of Iowa.
and it is true of every state that does
that sort of thing.
1.-The time has come when our state
must get down to business. The future
is what we choose to make it, and we
can make a mighty important step in
the right direction If we send first
class men to the halls Of our national
legislature and keep them there. Per-
sonally, among other things, I went
east on railroad construction in Alas.
ka. I met with very encouraging sue
cess. I also found that the entire
northwest and particularly Puget
sound and her thriving cities, was at
tracing a good deal of eastern atten-
ton, and it is no exaggeration to say
that the men of means are only too
willing to listen when a proposition to
invest money in northwestern enter
prises is put up to Them

Town Pipes Furnished Hot Water.
Residents Of Dravosburg, Pa, were
recently supplied with hot water from
the village pumping station, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. There was no
extra cost for it. When they wanted 4
drink they had to stand a glassful out
side. All they had to do was to put a
little coffee III cup and turn on the
spigot. All Of this demonstrated that
human nature is not always satisfied,
because when things are hot the people
want them cold, and vice versa. The
solution Of the matter was this: A wa
ter main extending a1ong Goldstrom
avenue passes beneath an old Stag pile.
Some time ago the Stag became ignited
and has since been smoldering. The
heat extends to the water main, there
fore the hot water. A phenomenon is
that the heat has brought out the crick-
cts, and while the hot water service
goes on they nightly perform solos In
ensemble numbers.
