The agricultural department of
the college is making a number of COM
parative tests of seeds secured from
different localities. In cooperation
with the government, clover seed have
been obtained from thirty one different
sources, including some foreign coun-y
tries. A large number of varieties
of corn selected for their earliness and
adaptability to a Northern climate have
been received from the government
and will be compared with few home
grown varieties. Thus far the tests
have shown nothing superior to the
strains grown by w. V. Windus ard
the late C. H. Thayer. Different va
rieties of peas will also be tested.
Various kinds of fall sown hybrids
and other wheats show some interest
ing differences in hardness and vigor
of growth. A visit to the farm will
repay anyone interested in these COM
parative tests.
The committee appointed from the

LAWYERS LOBBY
FOR BIG FAT FIT
Attempt TO Get $4,000 for Nego'
tiating Sale of Land.
Opening of South Half of coNllle
Reservation May Be Defeated by
EfFost to Revive Expired Contract
With Indians Hitchcock Stands
In the Way.

Washington, Feb. 3.--An attempt oil
certain lawyers to hold up the Colville
Indians for $3.50, 900 cash is apt to de-
feat the bill now pending in congress to
open the south half OF their reservation
and pay the Colville Indians 81 $780,
900 for the land which they relinquish-
ed in the north halt Of the reservation
ten years ago. These lawyers have
been itching for many years to get a
large slice OF money which they believ-
ed the government would pay the In
dians, but so far have not succeeded,
because congress has never made an APP
preparation to pay for the Colville land.
Back in 1894, Acting Secretary of the
Interior Simms approved a contract be-
tween the Indians and Marsh q Cor
don, under which the latter were to Sc
cure the passage OF bill through con-
gress paying the Indians $1,000, 900,
the lawyers, in turn, to receive a fee
amounting to 10 per cent, but this con-
tract expired in ten years, and, when
the lawyers sought to have it renewed,
Secretary Hitchcock put his foot down
and refused to permit the Indians to
become involved in any such deal. j
Ex-senator Marion Butler, OF North
Carolina, and Hugh Gordon, of the old
law firm, are now lobbying before CON
gress in behalf of securing an appro-
priation of 81 100000, and then pull
ing down fat fee of 10 per cent of that
amount. Mr.. Butler became an at
torney in the case by assignment, and
has been pussy ON the Colville bill for
year or two, though not invited to
take hand by any member of the
congressional delegation.
Only last year Mr.. Butler appeared
before the senate committe in advocacy
II this bill, ande, when questioned. as
70 his rights in the premises, declared
hat he and other lawyers were acting
lnder an approved contrsct with the
indians. Yet at the same time he
made that statement, the contract had
'esn void for more than year.
Mr.. Butler, it is learned. takes the |
position that the old contracts are still |
n force, Notwithstanding that they
AVE not been renewed by Mr.. Hitch
ock.

TEMPEST OF FLAME.
Great Fire Devours Elevator, Wheat
and Horses In St. Louis.

Great Fire Devours Elevator, Whea
and Horses In st. Louis.
| st. Louis, Feb. 5.--Fire, which orig
mated In the Union Grain elevator IN
East st. Louis, Ill.,, last night, aftel
completely destroying that structure
spread tel surrounding buildings and
freight cara in the yards of the Termip'
al association, aud caused damage esti-
mated at 81 1850. 900 before its progress
was checked. At an early hour this
morning the flames were still casting q
rudy glare, but 1t Is believed that the
fire Is we'll under control, and there 10
little further danger of its spreading.
A detailed estimate of the losses fol-
lows:
Union elevator. $500, 600; grain in
elevator, 1850, 900; st. Louis Gar
company, barn, SIS, 900, horses, $780,
500, feed, $4,000; Waters Pierce Oil
company, $4,000; seven dwellings, ST.
900; 20 box cars, $20, 900; total, ST.
9l6, 500.
The fire originated in brick engine
house, 80 feet sway from the elevator
proper, and was discovered by the
night Waterman. Before the arrival OF
the fire department, the flames mad
spread to the elevator. Assistance was
sent from st. Louie, and the efforts of
the hremen were principally directed
toward preventing the fire from spread
ing to adjoining elevators and ware
houses, the Union elevator having been
into furnace within few
minutes after 1t caught fire.
The heavens we're brightly ilumi-
lated and 1t is estimated that $4,000
PERSONS viewed the fire from both banks
II the Mississippi river and the bridge.
Seven dwellings were covered by
turning Gil by the explosion of four
ank cars and entirely destroyed. The
occupants. however, were either outside
iewing the conhagration, or were able
escape before the flames consumed |
