WHEAT CONVENTION
HELD AT PULLMAN

Pullman, Jan. l7.-The first wheat
convention having closeT, he consensus
of opinion is that it was one of the
most important events in the history
of the wheat industry in Washington.
z. G. MCroskey, of Garfield. who
was elected president of the asso C lat
ion, said: II teleive this is one of the
most important meetings ever held in
Washington, and two meetings should
be held each year. The effects of such
meetings cannot bebut beneficial to all
those interested in the wheat industry.
d. +. Anders son, of Rosalia. a
member of the state grain commission,
was also enthusiastic over the con.
vention and its action and predicts
great things espesicallv regular meet
ings are held and closer relationship
between the allied interests is ht
about. 1.-The agitation of the questions
brought o7t here cannot but be ben
eficial," he said. There are many
reforms needed in the wheat Industry
of this section. In the fist place we
should inaugurate a system of handling
hr,f ol- nf aln
at the machine when threshed. This
would mean great saving to the
farmers. I have Figured asthe matter
closely, and have no hesitancy in say
ing that by cleaning the wheat when
threshed a saving of ST.. can be made
on each 1000 bushels. This would re-
suit from the saving in freight paid on
the dirt and foul stuff in the wheat,
the etx:a sacks used in handling it,
the advanced price for clean wheat
and the value of wild oats, cookie and
other stuff taken out. which could be
chopped up and used for feed en-
the farm. I place the value of this at
$40 a ton, which is much less than the
real market value of such feed, which
usually sells at Sl8 per ton. The saw
ing in sacks alone if the grain were
handled in the bulk, would average
about to ! = cents per bushel.

DR.. HARPER WAS TOO
GENEROUS TO DIE RICH

Chicago, Jan. 17.-It was announc-
ed today that the estate left by the
late President Harper of Chicago un-
iversity is small and consists almost
entirely of life insurance policies. 1t is
estimated that DR.. Harper during his
life gave between $500 to $50, ,OCO
to the American Institute of the Sacr-
ed Literature, a publishing concern in
the work of which he was greatly in-
terested. He also gave much money to
the needy students, but the amount of
this will never be known.
il is said the entire estate is given
to the widow without reserve.

IT turns out that the railroad fare
Of the seven state departments OF Ne
braska for official business will amount
to less than $500 per year. When
this Is compared with the estimates
given out soon after the state CON
vention and industriously circulated
over the state, the whole matter looks
ridiculous. The highest estimate was
made by the secretary Of state, who
thought that the railroad fare would
cost the state $4,000 year. In the
four months and one week since the
state convention, the officials have ex-
pended $3.50 for which the state will
be taxed. This includes not only the
heads of the departments, but also
the chief deputies who do official ira
yelling. This is at rate Of less than
81 300 year.
