Harvest Hands on Time,

Walla Walla, Wash, July l.
Quite a number OF men are arriving in
Walla Walla daily for the harvest fields
and some of the larger wheat growers
are securing their harvest.crews, putting
the men at work at odd jobs about their
premises in order to have them when the
harvest season opens. The wages this
season will be about the same as last
year, the highest price being paid to en-
gineers, who will receive from $500 to
Sc 90 per day. A large number of men
are being placed by the Farmers Free
Employment agency established here
three months ago. But only the farm
ers belonging to the organization and
who have signed up and paid their as
sessment for the support of the enter
prise will be supplied from this bureau.

The CANADA THISTLE
Law Should Be Enforced for lie
Eradication

To the Editor: | called attention 70
the patch OF Canada thistle near the o.
L. n. freight depot in last weeks Com
moner. Since then | have noticed that
part OF the pest has been destroyed. but
no effort has been made to destroy that
part upon the Inland property. 1t is
In bloom and will soon have advanced
80 as to scatter it's seed whether emf or
not, because the sap in the stalk will
mature seed from the cut stalk. The o.
K. & N. people only half did the work.
and any person who cares to take the
trouble can count hundreds of this pest
upon their property. Such slipshod
compliance with the law as has been en-
forced in this matter bodies much evil to
our county and should be looked after.
This thistle patch is today three times
as large as when first discovered. and
much Of it is below high water mark OF
the PalOuse river. III permitted to ma
ture it's seed will be carried down stream
during high water. The law for the de.
struction Of this pest is poor and ineffi
cient, and this article is given to the
press with view of trying to interest
our citizens and prevail upon them to
WELD such influences as will secure the
entire destruction of the pest. will say,
in conclusion, no plant life can live long
without being part in and part out OF
ground; the part under ground to draw
nourishment and the part above to
breathe through, but the thistle is one
of the hardest plants to kill, as it can
do without breathing longer than most
plants. Simply to cut it under ground
time or two is not sufficient to dis
troy it. 1t must be cut again and again,
and not permitted to stick it's nose
above the surface for one whole season.
In this way you can probably Kill it.
This, | believe. is the surest and best
way to successfully get rid Of it. 1t is
possible, by correspondence with the
State College, that an easier and better
method may be secured, but think they
will recommend the above.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
Harry James Will Spend EIGHT
Months in Jail.

Harry James is 20 year old youth OF
Winona who will spend the next eight
months in the county jail. Sunday
night he assaulted Harry Heathman, a
brakeman on the o. r. & n, and
Wednesday he pleaded guilty in the su-
perior court to assault and battery and
was sentenced as above stated. 1t seems
that James was endeavoring to ride on
the cars, presumably with the intention
OF jumping off near Winona, where he
got on. Heathman was told to put him
off, which he did. AS soon as the latter
put loot on terra firma James gave him
a bif that sent him reeling, and only by
a miracle was he saved from rolling
under the cars, which would have meant
instant death. No weapons we're found
on James, he claiming to have used only
his fist. Under the circumstances Prose
cutting Attorney Kipp thought it best to
accept plea Of guilty to assault and
battery as a jury would not likely bring
in for higher offense. James has here
tofore borne good reputation.

STATE GRAIN BAGS.
Wider Distribution Results From
Operation of New Law.

'StTi0uklon results rom
Operation Of New Law.
An Olympia dispatch Of June 20 says
that the new law passed BY the last legis-
lature designed to secure a wider distri-
button OF state prison grain bags has
worked quite successfully, according to a
report made to the board of control by
superintendent M. F. Kincaid of the
penitentiary. Heretofore grain bags
were sold to applicants in the order their
applications were received. The result
was that each year as soon as prices
we're announced Walla Wala grain
growers, being right on the ground,
made early applications and secured as
rule about % per cent of the output.
AS in recent years the general market
price for bags was about so per cent
higher than the prison price there was
general demand that all farmers in the
state should be given chance to get
the cheaper state bags. The last legis-
lature provided for alloting the bags to
the grain growing counties on the basis
OF the grain commissioner crop esti
mate and that after July l all bags not
applied for might be sold in the open
market generally. The board early this
year made it's allotment of $4,000
sacks, of which 775,0O0 were oppor-
toned to the chief grain growing coun-
ties. OF these so far AS, 100 bags have
been applied for, all but &C 24O of which
are from growers outside of Walla Wala
county. Whitman county, which here
tofore rarely secured any sacks, has al
ready received about 100000 OF her
allotment of $4,000 and Spokane
county has received 1890 of an alot-
ment of A, 16O.

Coal Co. OF Kemmerer, Wyoming, stat
ing that all grades of coal have been ad-

vance dating from June 20. The reason
given for the advance is the increased
cost of production, due to advance in
wages and the general increase in cost OF
materials. The advance applies to
orders already booked at the mines, and
dealers can take the coal at the higher
price or leave it.

TEACHERS IN DEMAND.
School Directors Are Urged to Act
With Promptness.
Colfax, July 3.

WIFI
School directors in the interior should
act promptly in securing teachers. The
Gazette few weeks ago published the
statement that 100 more teachers were
wanted in Whitman county. That state
ment was correct. Since then the county
superintendent Office has been in CORES
pondence with many places on the out
side, urging teachers to come here, as
desirable positions awaited them. Many
have come and have been sent into the
rural districts, only to find the directors
slow to act, and getting tired OF waiting
have left. The harvest season is ap-
preaching and everybody will be buster
than ever at this period, SO that direct
ors if they wish to secure teachers must
act promptly. Teachers, like harvest
hands. are 10 demand, and will not stand
around with their thumbs in their
mouths waiting for jobs. 1t is no sign
because directors may have two appli
cations in their possession that the mar
ket ia overstocked; quite the contrary,
If will be hard to fill all the positions.
Directors should remember that procras-
tination is the thief of time, and that
time and tide waits for no man-neither
do teachers these daysl
