Dealing, as it does, with the life of the
Saviour, the drama is thrillingly filed with the
influence of His presence, although He is not

About Grain Sacks.

State Representative Geo. Reid, of
Tacoma, in going over the law govern
ing the manufacture, sale ETC., of
grain bags at the state penitentiary at
Walla Walla, discovered several as
tonishing facts. During the past few
years the reason assigned for the diff
Guilty in disposing of the 100000 sacks
made annually is that the law required
the price at which the sacks are to be
sold in the late summer and fall to be
adjusted each January. Another point
frequently quoted, declares the law,
fixes the price of sacks at or near the
actual cost. According to Mr.. Reid s
researches, the law contains no such
provisions. 1t simply prescribes that
the price shall not be less than cost,
and is entirely silent as to the time
the price shall be adjusted. The Board
of Control expressed great surprise
upon learning that they had misunder-
stood the law so many years, and there
is no doubt but what as great, if not
greater surprise will be manifested by
the agricultural interests that have
suffered so much by this neglect.
Equity in the distribution of sacks has
been a problem hard to contend with
by the farmers in many sections; that
the method needs revision lis univer-
sally admitted. We trust that the
light thrown upon the matter by Mr..
Reid will lead to more Just handling
of the output.

For Rhodes Scholarship.

The Rhodes Scholarship examina-
tion, held at the State College Thurs
day and Friday of last week under
the direction of Registrar Nader, was
taken by two candidates, Shirl H.
Blalock, of the college, and ]. M. Nc
Ardle, of the state university. The
examination covered the subjects of
Greek and Latin translation from
composition and grammar, also alge-
bra or geometry and arithmetic. The
men who took the test thought it quite
difficult. The papers have been for
warded to the secretary at Oxford.
England, from whom results will be
received in about two months.
Mr.. McArdle is a senior at the uni
versity. He expressed himself as fully
repaid for his trip across the state
even if he failed to secure the appoint
ment. The friends of Mr.. Bla!ock
have strong hopes that their man will
be the successful one.

FOREIGN PLaNTS
FOR The COLLEGE
Many Curiosities in Plants to be
Grown Experimentally on the
College Farm.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is sending to the horticul-
utral department a large number of
plants for testing purposes. Many
are from foreign countries and have
never been grown in this country be-
fore. After a thorough testing those
plants showing adaptibility to Wash
ington soil will be sent to farmers in
the state, in this way introducing
fruits, nuts and hedges which will
prove profitable.
Among the varieties to be received
is hardy lime from India. Another
is strong growing, fruit producing
vine from East China A persimmon,
known as the Kan lido salad plant,
comes from Japan, while still another
variety comes from the mountains
north of Pekin, China. Grape vines
from Japan, sweet chestnuts from
Northeast China, cypress pines from
Australia and orange plants from In
dia and Japan make upa large part of
the shipment. The most interesting
of all is the tallow tree from China.
From this tree the natives gather tai
low for candles. the substance coming
out of the side of the tree ready to be
scraped off.

Needed improvements.

Editor Herald The City of Pull
man has lately made some necessary
improvements. One of them is the
splitting ordinance which has in part
done away with the unsightly pools of
spittle through which women formerly
had to drag their skirts in passing
along our sidewalks. Of improve
ments still needed | desire to mention
the following.
The most travelled street in Pullman
especially after dark is Maiden Lane,
running for half mile along the hill
side from Star Route to the college
campus. Until a few days ago there
was not a single light on this street
so that in dark weather no part of the
sidewalk could be seen though it is in
many places high and dangerous.
There is now one light opposite Mr..
Gill's; but this is not enough. There
is need of at least two lights more.
one at Mr.. Wexler's and another at
Mrs. Aldrich's. so that the sidewalk
may be seen in dark weather.
The people of Pullman and the trav-
cling public experience much incon-
venience in passing from one depot to
the other. They are compelled to go
by roundabout way. This inconven-
ience could be obviated by the building
of trestle walk from the north end
of the Kamiaken street bridge or the
Northern Pacific depot to the west end
I of the O. R. & N. railway bridge.
This improvement would not cost
much and would be great accommo-
dation to many people.
Another needed improvement is the
erection of drinking fountains at or in
the railway stations. The railway
companies should of course bear the
expense that this would entail.
One of the greatest needs of Pull
man is a good public library and read
ing room. If Mr.. Carnegie could be
prevailed upon to build US library.
possibly we might be able to support
it as easily as we have hitherto sup
ported three or more saloons, and pos
sibly the results would be as good.
The returns on the money expended
would of course not be SO Quick nor so
evident. but it is conceivable that they
might in the end be as good, if not
better. Would it be worth while to
try the experiment?
Respectfully yours,
| Albert E. Egge.

TWO STaTES join
IN PYTHIaNISJQ
Popular Fraternal Order to Own
the Artesian City Next
Monday.

Pullman will have to stand from
under next Monday. for the Artesian
city is to be taken possession of by
Knights of Pythias who will come from
all quarters of the Inland Empire, the
chief object of the coming being to
introduce a class Of forty tyros into
the mysteries of the Dramatic order of
Knights of Khorassen, or more famil-
iarly. the "Dokies.
The tyros, who will undoubtedly be
mighty glad when it is all over, will
be exhibited to the general public dur
ing the afternoon in grand street pa
rade. This feature of the days "do-
ings" will be in charge of Omar AL
kayami temple, No. 124, of Lewiston,
and about 100 Knights from that city
will be in attendance to help the good
work along. There will also be Wis
iting delegations from all other sur
rounding towns, and the grand chan
cellors of both Idaho and Washington
are expected.
Besides the D. o. K. K. initiation,
which is side issue of the Knights of
Pythias, there will be work in the va
rious ranks of the K of P. order. and
number of candidates who are now
being stall fed for the occasion, will
be finished up"
A banquet, in the preparation of
which no expense is being spared,
will be served under the direction of
the ladies society of the Christian
church in the evening, following
which the lodge hall will be the scene
of social session of deepest interest
to every Knight.
This will be the biggest event in
Pythianism ever undertaken in the
Inland Empire, and we know that
Pullman will greet the visitors with q
hearty welcome, and that spirit of
good will and friendship will pervade.

sOT1E POSTOFFICE
FACTS and FIGURES
Free City Delivery Assured If the
Receipts for Current Quarter
Reach $3,03t.42. y

TIE class and standing of a local
nostoffice is determined altogether by
the business transacted, and from this
noint of view the advances made by
the local office have been most salts
factory.
But the present quarter, ending
March 31st, which completes the fiscal
wear upon which the government bas-
es the class rating, is crucial one
with the Pullman office, as it must
make decided leap to reach the point
where we will be entitled to free city
delivery. Free delivery is established
when the receipts reach $40, 900. Last
year the receipts here were $9491, and
it was confidently expected that they
would pass the required figure this
year. For the first three quarters Of
the fiscal year the total receits were
S6968. .58, divided in quarters as fol-
lows:
Quarter ending June 3O-$2214.43.
Quarter ending Sept. 30-S1933. 13.
Quarter ending Dec. 31-$2821. OF.
This makes it necessary for the re-
ceipts of the current quarter to reach
$9O31.2 "a to assure the free delivery
system, and the continued and healthy
growth of the office in the past makes
it more than probable that the figure
will be reached. The receipts of the
corresponding quarter of 1906 were
$2522. so.
The money order business has also
reached an enormous figure, during
the past year 8847 orders being drawn,
for total amount of $62. 406. SO, and
4O88 orders paid, for SAT, 727. sc. The
cash transactions of the year 1906 were
$71, 1897. SO.

Judge Chadwick Decides.

Judge Chadwick, of the superior
court, has just handed down decision
in case that involved several most
interesting points of law, the decision
being in the case of Wiley VS.. Clark,
the Stewart Clure Hardware company,
corporation, and Joseph Canutt,
sheriff of Whitman county.
|. Clark had bought a wagon from
the Stewart Clure Harwdare company,
and moved to Idaho. He mortgaged
the wagon to Wiley. Later he came
to Whitman county and began work in
the harvest. The hardware firm at
Ntached the wagon for their claim.
After the attachment was served
Wiley had his mortgage, which had
been recorded in Idaho. recorded in
Whitman county. Wiley then sought
to restrain the sale of the property
under attachment, on the grounds that
his mortgage, which had been record
ed In Idaho prior to the time of the
attachment, had priority over the at
tachment. P. w. Kimball was at
torney for the plaintiff, while j. w.
Mathews appeared for the Stewart
Clure Hardware company.
Both attorneys cited many authori-
ties. Attorney Mathews argued that
to allow the claim of Wiley, a citizen
OF Idaho, would be giving citizens of
nelghboring state advantages over
citizens of Washington, as the law re-
qulres that if mortgaged personal
property be removed from one county
OF Washington to another, the mort
gage must be recorded in the county
into which the property is taken or
the mortgage becomes null and void
ard can not be collected. Mr.. Math-
eWs argued that the allowance of the
claim of Wiley would be discrimina-
tlon against citizen of a neighboring
county of Washington in favor of a
citlzen of neighboring state. He
cited the Michigan supreme court de-
elslons and Judge Chadwick held with
'hese and allowed the sale of the prop
erty under attachment to stand.

Notes by a Tourist.
January "a, '07


From Ashland, Oregon, southwark
for three hundred miles, it seems that
the hand of omnipotence had hurled
the waste material of earth, in an
effort to check the advance of man.
The mountains push further and fur
ther into the realm of the clouds. The
canyons cut deeper into the bowels of
the earth, and nature seems to riot in
confusion until in very wantonness she
piles Mount Shasta up. and garlands
its bow with clouds. 1t is in this
wilderness that the Cascades and the
Sierras meet, and it is here that the
engineers encountered some of the
most difficult obstacles in railroad
building.
At Dunsmuir one can fancy himself
among the Scottish highlanders. 1t
is in this vicinity that babbling.
brawling brook is first noticed; keep
your eyes on this little brook of blue
water, for it will keep you good COM
'pany for three hundred miles, and fin
ally as the Sacramento river it will
pour its red, muddy current into San
Francisco bay. The mountains get
farther apart, the valley opens grand
ly as you descend and soon the train is
gliding over the storied plains of Cal
ifornia.
The things that render the Sacra-
mento Valley unique and attractive are
the oaks, gnarled and knotted, singly
and in clumps. They dot the level
plains, relieve the monotony, and give
to the mind the impression that this is
the vast estate of some wealthy farm
er, and the trees had been set under
the directions of a landscape gardener.
In this valley lies the great Glenn
ranch, containing over sixty thousand
acres of splendid soil, and lying along
the banks of the river for mile.
Thirty years ago the river was the
only route by which this region could
get supplies or send to market the
grain and wool. Sacramento is city
of 40, 900 people, a historic spot,
closely identified with the scenes of
early days. Sutter there had his
fort, long before the discovery of
gold. 1t was to Suffers fort that
Marshall went with the news that set
the world on fire. Sacramento has
recently repaired the fort and saved it
from perishing. Suffers South Am
erican cannon still point through the
port holes of the bastions. MARSHALL s
saddle. in which he made his famous
ride, still hangs in corner. Old, old
weapons of those early days adorn the
walls. The place is we'll worth visit

The Northwest FruitGrowersAsso

The Northwest FruitGrowersAsso-
citation met in Seattle January 1918.
The members of this association are
representative of the fruit interests
embracing the extensive area of Brit
ish Columbia, Washington. Oregon,
Idaho and Wyoming. The most prom
ising discussion at the meeting related
to the proposal by Canadian member
TO secure the passage of law similar
to the Fruit Marks Act of Canada.
Under this act the Canadian growers
grade their produce into several class
es, the boxes containing the fruit be-
ing officially stamped by the inspect
ors. In this way any one purchasing
fruit, wholesale or retail, need but
to look at the stamp to determine
whether he is obtaining what his mon
ey calls for. A committee of seven
was appointed to arrange a plan of
action. In this committee are Profess
sors Henderson, of Idaho, Huntley,
state fruit commissioner, Tacoma, and
Thornber of the Washington State Col
lege.
After three weeks of the best
sleighing the Palouse country ever ex-
perienced, old Sol warmed things up
enough the early part of the week to
about ruin it. and it looked for a while
as though a chinook would take all
the snow from the ground. Enough
is still left to cover the wheat nicely,
so that there is no danger of the crop
freezing out. The farmers state that
winter was never more favorable for
the fall sown wheat.

Sacred Heart Aid Society.

The sale of tickets for the ball to
be given by the Sacred Heart Ladies'
Aid society at Huston hall on the even
ing of Oct. 81, has been unusually large
and the members look forward with
pleasure to a full treasury to tide them
through a long winter. Though for
upward of seventeen years a prime fac
tor in all charitable work of Denver,
the aim and scope of this society are
not generally known. 1t embraces in
its membership ladies from all parishes
of the city, and many who are not of
the Catholic faith, but wish to have a
share in the good work the society is
accomplishing. Its object is to relieve
in its humble way all cases of distress
brought to the attention Of the men,
bers and, in short. to do all that in
other cities is accomplished by st. Vim
cent de Paul societies. Thirty regular
pensioners are on its list, besides the
cases that are reported at each meet
ing for temporary relief. These meet
ings are held on the first and third
Thursdays of every month at the
homes Of the different members, and
in addition to the business discussed,
have somewhat of a social flavor. the
hostess usually arranging a little mu-
sical program to close the afternoon.
Mrs. Joseph A. Osner is president, and
has earned the reputation of being a
most indefatigable worker in this and
all other worthy causes.

The sermon was preached by Rev. Fa-
ther O'Ryan of st. Leo's, who eX-
planned the origin and significance Of
the ceremony, and praised in glorious
terms the jealous labors of the pastor,
who in a few short months has built
up such a thriving parish. He also
spoke words of encouragement TO the
people who have so heartily cooper
ated with their good pastor in his ardu-
Gus task Of raising money to build the
new place of worship. In the absence
of Rt. Rev. Bishop Matz, Rt. Rev.
Monsignor Robinson officiated at the
dedication services. After the bless
ing of the main altar and the interior
of the church the procession of priests
and acolytes passed around the church,
while MonsignOr Robinson blessed the
exterior walls. The people then re-
entered the church for the benediction.
Rev. Father Cassidy of Mobile, Ala,
assisted at the services. The congre
cation of Edgewater has grown so rap
idly that there is talk of dividing the
parish and erecting another church.
This part of the city was formerly part
of st. Patricks parish.
