Geo. ]. Salem, a scientist in the
employ of the Holt Manufacturing
Company of Stockton, California, is
here gathering samples of wheat with
which to make a series of interesting
tests. The claim is made that wheat
cut with binder and permitted to
cure in the shock contains more
gluten than wheat allowed to ripen
thoroughly before being cut as is nee
essary where harvest is to be conduct
ed with the header or the combined
machine, and Mr.. Salem experiments
will be conducted for the purpose of
testing the milling quality of wheat
cut nv rre varIous methods.
Pullman made wonderful growth
the past year, and home industry was
responsible for good deal of it. One
local physician tellJ us that he was
present at the ushering in of 63 new
additions TO the census roll in 1905,
and that his 1906 record is going to
beat that by good many. There's
no race suicide in that.
Prof. Beale, of the agricultural
department, was here from Washing
ton City this week inspecting the
work of the experiment station. He
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the conduct and administration
of the station here, and his report will
be of the best.
The season when prairie chickens
and other grouse can be legally hunted
will open Aug. 18th. Quail are still
protected at all seasons. The coveys
of birds should be large this year, as
the weather was good during the nest
ing season.
Mrs. c. H. Buell. and daughters,
Misses Clara and Laura, accompanied

rant, left Monday for Occur d. Alene

MADE GOOD RUN
WITH HARVESTER
Fred Hungate's Combined Cuts and
Theshes 675 Sacks in
One Day

One of the best days runs ever made
in this country with combined har-
vester is reported from the Fred Hun
gate farm west of town.
With his 16-foot machine. hauled
by 80 horses, Mr.. Hungate yesterday
cut and threshed 675 sacks of wheat.
This was from ground that is giving
around forty bushels per acre, and as
each sack holds little more than
two bushels, it would show that fully
95 acres were cut over.
The weather is excellent for 'har-
vest, and the farmers are making
every hour count. A number of
threshing machines have started up,
and while the indications are that the
yield of the earlier grain will be
somewhat better than had been an
ticipated, and the grade No. l, it is
too soon to tell much about the gen.
eral average yet.
Such grains as Arcadia, Club, and
the other early ripening varieties, are
much less injured by the warm spell
than Red Russian and other late
wheats. The quality of the later will
also likely be somewhat injured

DEATH OF MRS. A. j. CA
ROTHERS.

Death. always with its weight of

ness when a young wife and mother is

left to mourn the loss of good .wo-
man.
7 Mrs. Carothers was stricken with
paralysis on April 18th, and while she
has suffered intensely at times, she
bore it all with christian fortitude.
and the end came to her as a relief
from physical anguish. She leaves
. husband and six children, three boys
and three girls, the youngest only
-four months of age, to mourn the
death of a loving and tender wife and
mother.

into the parks, for they could not get
the women folks into the houses, or
at least that is the excuse given by
the men. Early in the forenoon
went the rounds of the city on foot to
view the ruins while the fire was
raging in every direction. Brick
buildings were badly wrecked, all
ginger work of brick and all chimneys
being down in the street. The very
best brick structures like the Palace
hotel were uninjured. Good wooden
buildings on firm foundationswere also
intact, Abut the fire was coming and
they were yet to be gutted or swept
away, and in the three days that fol-
lowed over 500 blocks were burned.
The streets were crowded with all
types of humanity fleeing before the
flames and carrying all kinds of house

of the fearful charges of dynamite

city from end to end. These reports
were heard for a hundred miles. All
this continued as you know for three
days and nights. The fire came within
about four blocks of us but we never

As to Stray Cats.

A man of cats declares it is the
worst of luck for pet black cat to
forsake your home. A woman of cats
asserts it is the best of luck. In the
middle ages Satan's favorite form was
a black cat. Witches always have a
cat as their familiar, stray black pussy
in preference. If white cat races
across your yard a child is going to
die. If stray cat of any color takes
up with you, making your home its
home, you will have good luck.
