MRS. BURGAN RECEIVES.

Mrs. f. S. Burgan was hostess at
one of the most attractive social
cyonts of the season, Tuesday after
noon, when she received nearly one
hundred of the ladies of Pullman at
her pleasant home on College hill.
The rooms were beautifully deco
rated, the prevailing flower being the
chrysanthemum, which was in profu-
sion everywhere. The dining room,
where the guests were served with
delicate refreshments, was made es-
pecially beautiful.
Music was discoursed during the af-
ternoon by the Jellum orchestra.
Mrs. Burgan was assisted in the re-
ceiving by Mrs. E. L. Powell, of Spo-
kane, who has been her guest during
the week.

ADMINS TRATION RING
NAMES TICKET
Asks for Approval and Support of
the Present Admins
tration

Again the municipal battle is in
full swing, two complete tickets being
before the people for their considera-
tion, the one, the Law Enforcement
ticket, the platform and personnel of
which were published in these columns
last week, and the other, the admin
istration, or so-called "Citizens'
ticket, nominated last night.
And again the issue is squarely
drawn. The convention last night en-
dorsed by platform and through it's
nominees the administration of the
past year, asking for the election Of
the "Citizens" ticket upon the record
made by Mayor Staley and the con-
trolling element on the council, and
that record must therefore be the key
note of the campaign, the platform
asking the vote of the people in the
| following words: "We believe it to
the best interests of the people of
Pullman to continue the present pol
icies of our city government, and re-
spectfully ask your approval and sup
port in electing a mayor, council and
city government, the nominees of
which will carry out the present poll
cies. "
Other cogenC features of the plat
form are that the "Citizens" party
deplores the action and poor judgment
of the Law Enforcement party in
falsely advertising to the citizens of
Pullman and of the state that we are
misgoverned, believing that no city
or town in the state is better gov
erued.
The convention indorsed the nomi-
nees of the ward caucuses, which had
been made Thursday night, Mayor
Staley being the nominee for council
man from the first ward l.. w. Lam
ming from the second ward, and E. W.
McCann from the third ward.
For mayor M. c. Gray was nomi-
mated. Ed. Mcguire was named for
councilman at large; Geo. Walters
for clerk; J. S. Clark for treasurer
P. W. Kimball for attorney, and DR..
Champion for health officer.
The ticket was given the same name,
that of the "Citizens" ticket, under
which it sailed last fall, the issues,
men and principles being practically
the same.

WHY WHEAT is LOW.

The persistency with which the
price of wheat keeps down about the
DO cent per bushel mark finds easy ex-
PLANTATION in the big harvests of 1906.
and the following data, as gathered
by the Tacoma Ledger, should be of
interest to our readers at this time:
The worlds cereal harvest of 1906
cannot fail to prove one of the great
est ever produced. In most of the
countries of Continental Europe the
wheat crop has been good 1t is above
the average in the great producing
provinces in northern France, but
suffered from drought in the south and
west of that country. France will
import very little wheat this winter.
SPANS harvest has been good all
around, while Germany has reaped
large crops of oats and barley, as we'll
as wheat. The Danube valley crop
this year will exceed that of last.
Russian reports vary. Official ac-
counts placed the winter crop at
high figure, but save in a few pro-
vinces spring wheat was almost fail
ure. This was due to wet weather.
AS whole, the Russian crop alone in
Europe will be far below the average.
Bulgaria and Roumania are expected
to reach record breaking totals. In
Canada the crop of the new northwest
ern provinces will make up for On
tario's falling off from last years
record. Possibly the total will not
exceed that of the 1905 crop. India's
wheat harvest of last spring was the
greatest, save one, in the history of
the country. The season is still too
early in Australia and Argentina to
warrant safe estimates of the harvest
now approaching in those antipodean
lands, but the world will have to eat
vast quantity of bread before any
shortage below the equator can have
the effect of restoring big wheat
prices. The final estimate of the Ar
gentine minister of agriculture gave
the crop of 1866 at 135, 600, 900 BUSH
els. In any event the coming harvest
will be far larger than that, the esti-
mates ranging from 166, 900, 600 to
208, 900, 900 bushels.
"With the United States exporting
the surplus of its largest wheat crop,
and most of the European wheat fields 4,
producing well, the problem of living
will be easier for some hundres of l
millions of eaters of white bread.
Fortunately, the worlds prosperity is
just now SO great that the rank and file
of humanity in the western nations ]
can afford this luxury, and vast de-
mand will therefore assure the farm J
ers fair, if not high prices, even with :
the worlds granaries bursting with
grain For the most part the orient
and the tropics will go on eating
rice, as they have done for more years
than history records. "

CRIMINAL CALENDAR CLEARED.

CRlm1INAL CALEINDAh CLEAhED.
Wednesday was red letter day in the
superior court of Whitman county.
On that day Judge Chadwick sentenced
six men to the penitentiary at Walla
Walla who had been previously con-
victed for various offenses. Two,
particularly, received long term SEN
tences, and will probably become pro-
fcient in grain bag making before
they get out.
The first one sentenced was Harry
Kelly, who pleaded guilty to burglary
in entering a box car belonging to the
0. R. & N. at Texas Ferry and help
ing himself to divers articles. Inas-
much as he pleaded guilty on infor-
nation filed by Prosecuting Attorney
Kipp, without putting the county to
further expense, at the request of Mr..
Kipp the court gave light sentence
--one year at hard labor.
C. W. Mason was convicted last
Friday of burglary. He entered Arm
strong's store at Albion on the 18th
day of last September and helped him
self extensively to silverware and
clothing. The jury in the case was
out but short time. He was SEN
fenced to seven years at hard labor.
Paul Maeurer, also for burglary,
was given two years. He stole fur
overcoat from John Furrer.
Robert Ross, the burly Scotchman,
who was convicted of rape on the per-
son of Mrs. James Stagner near Can
yon, was sentenced to IS years. Some
extenuating circumstances in this case
were brought out at the trial, the jury
recommending Ross to the mercy of the
court. Judge Chadwick remarked

CONVENTION WEEK
At THE COLLEGE
Stockmen and Grain Growers to
Meet and Discuss Con-
ditions


there will be held at the State College
three important conventions. The
first of these will be the second annual
convention of the Washington State
Bee Keepers Association. This society
has the larger body of its membership
in the Yakima Valley, but on invita-
ton of the College it has been decided
to hold this years meeting at Pull
man. The society is we'll organized
having vice presidents in most of the
counties of the state. Invitations
have been extended to several import
ant speakers, some of these being from
as far east as Colorado, and an inter
esting program is being prepared.
Local bee keepers will be glad of the
opportunity of attending such meetings
as these. The opening session will
be held Monday evening, January 7th,
and on January 8th, there will be
three sessions. The closing meeting
will be on Wednesday forenoon, jan
uary 9th.
On the afternoon of January Sth,
the Inland Registered Stock Breeders
Association convention will begin.
They will hold sessions that evening
and on Tuesday morning a stock show
and sale will be conducted. On the
afternoon of this same day the final
session of this convention will be held
On Wednesday evening a general
convocation of all those who may be
visiting the College at this time will
be held. This meeting will partake
of social nature and will probably be
accompanied by a banqueA
Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock the
second annual Wheat Convention will
open, continuing through Thursday
and Friday, the final session being
Friday afternoon. This arrangement
is made so as to permit the visiting
delegation from the sound who are in
terested in this particular convention.
only, to secure the greatest possible
benefit from the meeting with the
least possible loss of time. 1t is tc
be hoped that many of the farmers
will attend both the Breeders anC
Wheat Conventions, and will remain
throughout all the sessions.
Efforts are being made to secure
speakers from abroad for these meet
ings. Prof. F. B. Linfeld, director
of the Montana experiment station,
has been invited to attend on behalf
of the Breeders Association. Mr..
H. W. Campbell, of Bethany, Nebras-
ka, the we'll known advocate of the
Campbell system of cultivation for dry
land, better known as the promoter OF
dry land farming, has also been asked
to attend and show the wheat growers
how they can increase the yield of their
semi-arid farms. These two distin-
guished speakers alone will be worth
the attention of all interested farm
res.
Programs for all these meetings are
in preparation and will be announced
very soon. Information regarding
these can be obtained by addressing
Prof. w. A. Linklater, who has di-
rect charge of the Breeders Associa-
tion Convention, and the details for the
other meetings are in the hands of
Prof. E. E. Elliott.

could testify as to when the prisoner re-
turned the horse to the stable that night,

"But aside from all this, the Identification
