MISS WINDUS ENTERTAINS.

Miss Iva Windus was hostess at a
pleasant little party last Saturday
night. The lawn of the Windus home
on Sunnyside was lighted with Japan
ese lanterns and equipped with ham
mocks and cosy corners. Each gentle
man present found his "lady fair"
and each lady her prince charming"
by following the directions written on
slips of paper and found pinned in the
most obscure places about the lawn
and in the house. All formality was
dispensed with in the merry chase and
everyone was acquainted and in happy
spirits the rest of the evening, which
was devoted to progressive five hun
dred. After being served with dainty
refreshments the company was enter
tanned with musica! selections by Miss
Windus, Mr.. Cleman and Mr.. Town
send.
Those present were: Misses Spauld-
ing, Price, Miner. Wenham, Grimes,
Baker, Windus and Della and Faye
Allen, and Messrs. Wenham. Cleman,
Townsend. Blair, Spaulding, Baker,
Hooker, Lewis and Killam.

BODY OF ARTHUR TAYLOR
FOUND.

The body of Arthur Taylor, who was
drowned in the Yakima river June 30.
was found by his father several miles
below the place from which the raft
started Monday afternoon. The body
was inferred in the cemetery at North
Yakima on the morning of July 10.
The body of John Bankard, who was
with Arthur, has not yet been found
and the search is being continued. Il.
E. Taylor, Arthur's father, reports
great kindness on the part of the Yak
ina people, who made every effort to
assist him and to ease his sorrow.
Arthur Norton Taylor was born at
Elmore, Minnesota, June 16, 1887, and
removed with his parents to Cowlit2
county. Washington, in 1890, and tc
Pullman in 1900. He was Freshman
in the civil engineering department al
the state college, and was at the time
of his death employed with a bridge
construction crew on the N. P. al
Granger, thirty miles from North
Yakima. Arthur was of quiet anC
kind disposition, honest and industri-
Gus. and respected and admired by all
who knew him. He leaves, besides
his parents, two sisters to mourn his
taking away.
Memorial services for Arthur Tay-
lor will be conducted in the M. E,
church here tomorrow morning, Rev.
M. H. Marvin delivering the address.
Appropriate music will be rendered by
the choir, of which the lad was 6
member.

FEEDING value OF
PaLOUSE HAYS
Prof. R. W. Thatcher, Director of
Experiment Station, Gathers
Interesting Data.

There have recently been completed
in the laboratory of the State Expert
ment Station at Pullman a number of
analyses of different samples of Pa
louise hays which show some very in
teresting facts concerning their feeding
value. The samples were all of hays
from crops grown for this purpose on
the college farm. In most cases the
hay was cut at two or more different
stages of growth in order to determine
at which stage the crop produced hay
of the best composition for feeding
purposes. The results of these analy-
ses, along with those of great many

NO GRIND JURY
TILL RITTER HARVEST
Judge Chadwick Gives Reasons for
Delay IN Calling Grand Jury
to Investigate Kipp's Record.

In the matter of the calling of a
grand jury to investigate the charges
of graft preferred against Prosecuting
Attorney Kipp, and numerous other
cases which would come under the jur-
isdiction of a grand jury. Judge Chad
wick has the following to say in the
Spokesman Review:
"Under the law a grand or petit
jury can only be called on the second
Saturday in each month, for service
in the succeeding month. SO if a
grand jury were drawn on July 13 it
could not come in before August l..
Our juries are made up almost entirely
of farmers, and | feel that it would
be an injustice to them to be required
to sit on grand jury term of in
definite duration in the midst of har-
vest. The labor conditions are such
that probably every man drawn could
exempt himself under the statute by
making oath that his business would
suffer by reason of his service.
81 have counseled with the county
commissioners, and they, too, advise
that it be postponed for a month or so.
The matters to be referred to the grand
jury can be investigated as we'll after
harvest as before, and the people will
be better satisfied if they understand
that the work of the grand jury has
not been sighted for the want of
time.
"A grand jury will be called in
good time, when any one having COM
plant to make upon any pertinent
matter will have an opportunity to be
heard. 1t will not be called solely
for the purpose of investigating the
prosecuting attorney, but to investi-
gate all matters usually looked into by
a grand jury. In justice to Mr.. Kipp
| will say that he is in favor of a
grand jury at the earliest possible
date.

1t will be at once noticed that the
wild oats cut at different stages of
growth show very striking differences.
The sample cut before the head-stalks
appeared is richer in protein and has
narrower nutritive ratio than any
grain or clover hay that has ever been
analyzed at the station, and exceeds in
these properties any samples of alfalfa
hay dealt with except those cut at very
early stages of maturity. The feed
ing value of the wild oats falls off
rapidly as the plants approach matur-
ity, however, and when nearly ripe it
yields poorer hay than any analyzed.
In order to obtain a wild oat hay of as
high feeding value as the other grain
hays, it is necessary to cut the crop
early-not later than when coming into
bloom. The yield per acre at this
stage will be considerably less, but if
allowed to stand until it reaches its
maximum growth, the quality of the
hay will be seriously reduced. Hay
of very high protein content may be
made'by cutting the crop very early
at about the time when the head-stalks
begin to appear-but the yield per
acre at this time will be very light.
The bald barley, speltz and oats all
show a decrease in the percentage of
protein as they approach maturity,
with resulting widening of the nu-
tritive ratio. The total feeding value
is about the same at both stages of
growth in the case of the barley hay,
slightly lower at the ripper stage in
the case of the speltz, and slightly
higher at the more mature stage of
the oats. Except in the case of the
barley the differences in composition

MAY BUY COLFAX-MOSCOW
RRANCH


1t is reported that the Spokane &
Inland electric line has purchased the
branch of the 0. R. & N. between
Colfax and Moscow and that it will be
equipped for electric cars and used by
the Inland as part of their system.
The electric line was completed in
to Colfax last Saturday, and will
reach Moscow from Palouse within a
short time. which, with the acquisi-
tion of the Colfax- Moscow branch,
will give the line complete control of
the greatest grain producing country
of the Northwest.
In speaking of the methods used in
laying the track into Colfax, the Ga
zette says: The old-fashioned way
of scattering rails and ties along the
road bed for miles, employing many
teams and a large force of men, is
done away with. The rails, the ties,
the fish plates and the spikes are car
ried along, locomotive pushing the
whole thing ahead as fast as two rails
are laid and spiked. Seventy men are
employed-some with picks, passing
the ties one to another to the front,
others with graphing hooks passing
the heavy Trails over like rollers or
the other side of the flats to allow the
laying of the ties. AS these reached
the foremost car other men laid hold
and took them to the place designated,
derrick swinging the heavy rails into
place, which were spiked in one or two
places, just enough to hold them to-
gether, it taking not over two or three
minutes to complete the laying of the
two rails. Then toot from the en-
CINE and the whole thing moves along
a rails length. the process being re-
peated over and over again, making
progress at the rate of three-quarters
of a mile a day. In the rear of the
train another gang was at work driv-
ing the remaining spikes. thus COM
pleting the job, saving the ballasting,
which is an after process and will
take some time to finish in its every
detail.

PUBLIC SCHOOL wins
VOTING CONTEST
Many Votes Cast During Last Few
Days of Contest. Catholic Club
Second IN Race.

Thursday was the last day to cast
ballots in the library voting contest
ond the way the votes poured in in
lunches of from two or three to thous-
onds was evidence of the extreme Ri
valry between the leaders in the con-
test. In the last few weeks the con-
test had been close race between the
nublic school, Evansville grange, and
the Catholic Young Mems Club, with
honors about evenly divided, and until
the last vote was counted it was any
thing but certainty which organiza-
tion would secure the hundred volume
library.
During the last four days of the
contest over 500, 900 votes were cast,
many having saved their votes till the
last in an effort to force Grant Clark to
earn his money when it came to count
ing. The total vote is as follows:

| were not great enough to indicate
any special advantage in cutting the
crop at one or the other stage of
growth. With the barley the very
considerable widening of the nutritive
ratio, which 10 already wider than is
wholly desirable, makes the desirable
ity of cutting the crop at as early a
stage as is consistent with the salts
factory yields very apparent. Speltz.
having a nutritive ratio of as narrow
as :6.3, is worthy of careful consider
alton as hay crop for Eastern Wash
ington, where most forage crops have
unusually wide ratios.
Special attention should be called
to the desirability of the mixed crop of
oats and peas as a hay crop. This
combination crop gives large yields per
acre of hay or forage which in its to-
tai feeding value equals or exceeds
that of any other forage crop anal
yzed except the field peas and vetches.
In addition to this its nutritive ratio
is just about right for a balanced ratio
for most classes of farm animals. In
other words it can be fed either alone
or in combination with any properly
balanced ration with the assurance
that all of its valuable nutritive in
gradients will be fully utilized. In
this it has decided advantage over
those other feeds, lie. field peas and
the vetches, which show higher total
feeding value but which contain such
excessive amounts of protein that there
is considerable loss unless this excess
is skillfully balanced by some other
more carbonaceous feed. Oats and
peas make by far the most desirable
hay crop for the Palouse section.
