NEW SYSTEM OF
HANDLING WHEAT.
PROPOSED ALONG THE
G. NJ. & ST. p. ROUTE
Elevators Quite Likely to Supersede
Warehouses Because the System Is
Cheaper-Farmers Along the New
Road Ready to Promise All Their
Grain Business on Those Terms
To Inaugurate New Method.

Pullman, Wash, March 16.-The
middle west" system of handling
and caring for wheat in the interim
between hauling and shipment will
perhaps be introduced in this dis
trict by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul, now being butt through
eastern Washington. 1t is up to the
company to build along its line a se-
ries of elevators instead of ware
houses.
This suggestion comes from the
wheatgrowers' association, which, in
it's two conventions held In Pullman.
voted in favor of using every effort
tn change the methods OF hauling
grain from the present method of
using sacks to that of handling It in
bulk. 1t Is the intention to offer the
new railroad heavy shipments of
grain IL it will build system of ele-
vators, so that the grain can he ham
died in hulk.
Professor T.. T. Elliott, head Of the
department of agriculture at the
state college. states that the matter
has been taken up with Fl. r. Will
liams, president of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway of Wash
jngton, who has the matter under
consideration, but who declares the
problem too hard TO solve at the pres
ent time. In his reply. Mr.. Williams
said that the present method was un-
doubtedly expensive to the farmers,
who had to pay unnecessary prices
for sacks, but the opposition to the
change as advocated had to be Sc
rously considered. This, opposition
comes from the shippers and grain
dealers on the coast, who have fa-
cilities for handling grain in the sack
only.

never saw such a rush of people to
board warship. At least 1000 men
and women were crowding every deck
of the Fylgia, and several times as
many more were crushing into small
boats and launches, and the little craft
were swarming about the cruisers side
when the accident occurred, and Or
ders were issued that no more should
come aboard.
At the height of the crush, between
8 and o'clock, the tide was ripping up
the river and making it extremely diff
ficult for the small boats to reach the
gangway on the vessels port side.
More than a dozen launches were
clinging to the side of the Fylgia and
to each other, all loaded almost to the
gunwales, when the accident happened.
The Cameron, a launch plying from
the foot of SD street, had her nose
against the gangway when she was
swept by the strong tide broadside
against the fiimsy ladder. Four other
launches, crowding close behind the
Cameron, were driven hard against
her There was a sudden swapping of
wood, and the next instant seven men
who had just jumped from the Gamer
on to the platform of the gangway
were precipitated into the water.
Three of them caught the side of
the launch and escaped with a wet
ting, but the others were plunged into
the racing tide and were being swept
swiftly past the launch. Fortunately
for them, the boats were crowded so
thick along the vessels side that they
found scores of men ready to give
them a helping hand. One after the
other they were dragged aboard, all
Of them drenched, but otherwise none
the worse for the mishap.

TEAM is DEFEATED BY THE

The Pennsylvania team defeated the

the fastest games of baseball that has
been seen here for many a day. The
Pennsylvania team played all around
the Saints in regard to team work,
and taking it all in all played a much
better game in every way than the
champs did.
Calderhead, Spofford, McWhorter
and Sackle were the stars at the bat
for the Pennsy team, and their hits
counted every time they came up to
the bat, Calderhead at second played
game that will be remembered for a
long time to come by all who saw the
game Hampton pitched a better game
than Freeman for the Pennsylvania
! team, but his support was very poor
One of the features Of the game was
the roofing by the many sailors pres
ent, and they kept up a round of root
ing that would do justice to a big
league game in the states. The Penn
sylvania team can certainly call them
selves champions this year, as they
have won not only the championship
of the fleet, but have been able to de-
feat the crack St. Louis team in two
decisive games. The following is the
lineup and score by innings:

RAT killing OR
NATUREFAEING

WASHINGTON. Pa, September q
Newton W. Rush, farmer on the 300
acre farm of former Clerk of Courts
c. E. Baker, located two miles south
of this place, is the nearest imitation
of the Peid Piper of Hamelin perhaps
America has produced to date.
Recently Rush had been much an
noyed by the rats eating grain in the
bins and after it was sacked for ship
ment He purchased a big bass drum
and four snare or tenor Instruments,
and with four of his hands began to
drum vigorously, marching around
the barns and stables. Within a few
minutes rats were to be seen scurry-
ing in all directions. Three nights of
the drum music was sufficient to drive
the pests away from the farm build
ings, and then Rush had his most
brilliant thought.
On the southern side the Baker
farm is bounded by dam No of the
Citizens Water Company, which sup
plies Washington with its water for
domestic purposes. Rush decided
that he would drive the rats into the
dam and drown them. Going at night
