A VALUABLE HYBRID.

The State College experiment station
now believes it has succeeded in COM
bining bluestem and turkey red wheat
into hybrid variety which can be
grown with superior results in the
wheat raising districts of Washington.
This experiment was begun in 1903,
and the purpose in view was to grow
a winter wheat which would lack the
boards of the turkey red but possess
its attractive qualities as a winter
wheat. Bluestem, being valuable as a
winter wheat, but not we'll adapted for
fall sowing, was crossed with the tur-
key red.
The result of a cross produces what
is known as a hybrid, the term
simply meaning a union between two
flowers of plants not of the same va
riety. In all work of this nature no
definite results are obtainable until the
SECOND years growth after the cross
has been made. Since the first cross
was made, in 1908, each year the sta
tion staff has selected the plants that
possessed the characteristics of the de-
sired hybrid. Thirteen perfect plants
were obtained from the cross of 1908,
and now seventeen thousand of them
are growing.
The hybrid is peculiar in its inter
mixing of the qualities of buestem
and turkey red. The straw grown fa-
vors bluestem, but the leaf formation
is much like that of the turkey red.
For this reason Prof. Lawrence, in
charge of the experiment, is not alb
solutely sure that the new wheat will
in every way be adapted to all wheat
raising districts of eastern Washing
ton. In nearly all instances the kernel
favors the turkey red although in a
few instances the grain is white like
bluestem.

C0NGRESSJQaU JONES
FOR U.S. senator
Popular Member of Congress Yields
to Demand of Friends-Becomes
Candidate for Senate.

Congressman Wesley l.. Jones, wh,
for ten years has served his state 81
we'll in the lower house of the nationa
Congress, has announced his candidacy
for election to the senate to succeed
Levi Ankeny. whose term will expire
next year. In letter to some of his
townsmen, who had insisted upon his
being a senatorial candidate, Mr.. Jones
wrote as follows:
"You have presented to me a reso-
luton adopted at a meeting of my
friends and neighbors asking me to be-
come a candidate for the office of
United States senator. This of itself
is great honor, and no words of mine
can express my gratitude for the con-
fidence and good will thus manifested
by my home friends and neighbor5.
The people of Yakima county and of
this state have been good to me far
beyond my deserts. and the expressions
of friendship and offers of support
which | have received unsolicited from
all parts of the state have touched me
far more than I can say.
You and they have five times elected
me to the high office which l now oc-
cupy. The hearty and unselfsh sup
port given me heretofore is more val
ued by me than any earthly possession.
| am glad to be able to say to you
that in none of these elections have
ever made a promise to win a vote
save the promise to do my duty. Nor
have | ever spent single dollar i'm
properly to further my election.
Il shall accede to your request and
will not be a candidate for reelection
to the house of representatives. When
the proper time comes | shall file a
declaration of candidacy for the nomi-
nation for United States senator by
the republican party under the direct
primary law passed by the last legis-
lature. Under that law nominations
for senator are made directly by the
people and not by a caucus of the
members of the legislature. No can
didate for the Legislature will hesitate
to pledge himself to vote for the
choice of his party as expressed at
such primary, and all of them will
cheerfully and promptly carry out such
manifest will. l shall gladly abide by
the result of such a primary election.
The peoples choice shall be my choice.
For ten years have been your SER
want in the house of representatives.
My record is an open book to the peo-
pie of the state. Upon it, and it
alone, | shall rely for their support.
| have made, and will make, no prom
ise or combination to secure the sup
port of any one, except the promise to
do all in my power, if elected, to pro-
tect and promote the interests of our
great state"

Loss on Houses and Contents
Amounts to $4,000, Par
tally Insured.

The most extensive fire to occur in
Pullman since the big fires of early
davs commenced in the Stewart Clure
Co. s warehouse. on the o. r. & N.
track, just before three o'clock this
morning, consuming not only this
warehouse but the whole line of house
lying west of it, and also the Pacific
Coast Elevator Co. s property across
the track. 7 sKg@
The Stewart-Clure warehouse, 4 in
which the flames originated, was prac-
tically consumed before the hose could
be laid, but all the other buildings
could have been saved had hydrant
been located nearer the warehouse dis
trict. AS it was, the nearest hydrant
was 1900 feet away, making it posi-
BILE to lay but one line, and the force
of this stream was killed by the fric-
tion from the long hose.
From the Stewart Clure warehouse,
the flames were communicated to the
ewes and roof of the Pacific Coast ele-
vator and the Standard Oil company S
warehouse, but owing to all absence
of wind, these flames would have been
easy of control had the single stream
of water reached the elevator roof.
Rains of the past week had dampened
the structures, and the efforts of the
fire fighters looked for a time to be
successful, but when the fire burst
from the elevator cupalo it was evident
that that and all contiguous buildings
must burn.
The flames from the elevator leapec
skyward with a fierce and glaring heat
that drove the crowds back onto the
hills, and that soon communicated it.
self to the 160-foot warehouse attached
to the elevator, and to the STANDARD
Oil company's and other warehouses
across the track.

Warehouses on O. r. & N. Burned
to the Ground This Morning
at Daylight.

The spectacular moment in the con-
t1agration occurred when the Standard
Oh company's property was reached,
two carloads of oil and gasoline being
stored in the warehouse in cases and
iron casks, and the big tank outside,
with capacity of 20, 900 gallons, be-
ing half full of the fluid.
The oil in the warehouse first COM
menced to burn, and the dense clouds
of black smoke, mingled with the roll
ing flames from the bursting oil casks.
mounted high into the sky, making a
spectacle that attracted nearly the en-
tire population. At about 80 the
flames could be seen playing fiercely
about the big oil tank outside, and in
a few moments the tank was rent open
with terrific explosion that Jared
the houses in many parts of town, and
l0,0 900 gallons of coal oil were poured
over the ground and columns of smoke
and great sheets of leaping fame
were added to the awe inspiring scene
that greeted the morning sun, and that
could be seen for miles around the
country.
Campbell's warehouse, filled with
farm machinery and binding twine,
was next enshrouded in the consuming
element, ard in a short time only
twisted castings and warped binder
wheels marked it's location.
Meantime the efforts of the fire
fighters had been directed toward
keeping the fire from the line of ware
houses to the east, from which it
might easily have been carried into the
town, in which case the magnitude of
the conhagration would have been ap-
palling. Others were also busy pro-
tecting the property of the Springstor
Lumber Co.. and prompt work on the
part of many citizens saved this com
pany with a omparatively small loss,
the wood yard and shed, with four cars
of wood, and a coal shed containing
one car of coal, being destroyed, the
most of the lumber in the yard being
saved by a bucket brigade. some of

The first alarm of this morning s
fire was given by Editor Wenham, of
the Tribune, who had been to the 2 40
Northern Pacific train with his sister,
and saw the blaze as he was returning.
The fire appeared to break out either
at the west end of the Stewart Clure
warehouse, or the ice house next to it,
and the general supposition is that
hoboes who were sleeping in the houses
started it.
Photographer Stephenson made
several negatives of the fire this morn
ing just as it was at its most spectac-
ular point, and had finished pictures on
the street before 10 o'clock.

the lumber piles being badly scorched
on the ends. however. The lumber
sheds were saved from damage, while
the office building was somewhat dam
aged.
A small bunker containing a guam
tity of coal, belonging to j. P. Du-
THE, was destroyed, as was also an ice
house containing 40 tons of ice, the
property of Whitcher & Cleland.
At this writing it is impossible to
get definite figures on all losses. with
insurance carried. but the Pacific Coast
Elevator Co. is of course the heaviest
loser, approximately $40. 900 being rep
resented in the company property here.
Besides the elevator and the 160-foot
warehouse attached, the company lost
10000 grain sacks, valued at approx
mately $1,000, and 45O sacks of wheat
and $50 of oats. Fred Thayer also had
80 sacks of oats stored in the house,
which he lost. AS the elevator COM
pany handles the insurance on it's line
of houses from the Portland office, it
can not be learned what amount of in
surance was carried on the Pullman
property. R. B. Bragg & Co. also
had 160 sacks of -four stored in this
house, but the prompt action of Frank
Burnett, who hitched up the Springs
ton team which was standing in the
stable, and hauled away a load of the
-four before the fire became too warm,
saved 100 sacks of this flour as we'll as
three bales of grain bags. Many 9TH
er bales of the bags were rolled out of
the house only to be destroyed later by
the fierce heat.
The Stewart Clure company lost the
warehouse, valued at 81, 00O on which
there is thought to be no insurance.
They had stored in the house approx
mately $4,000 worth of hardware, twine,
oils. paints, machinery, ETC., which
was we'll insured.
G. W. Reed. the furniture dealer,
also had several cars of furniture
stored in the Stewart -Clure house, his
loss being from $1,000 to $500, with
no insurance.
The Standard Oil company lost a
warehouse, valued at about 5000, con-
tanning two carloads of oil, the big
tank. with 10, 900 gallons of oil, and a
tank wagon, the latter valued at $500
or $700. The total loss of this COM
pany is from $4,000 to $1,000, with
amount of insurance unknown.
Frank Campbell's loss on warehouse
is $500, with $500 insurance. The
house contained farm implements and
car of twine, the loss on which is
$4,000, with no insurance.
The Springston Lumber company's
loss will probably not exceed $1,000,
with insurance unknown.
j. P. Duthie's loss on the coal
bunker was 5000 with no insurance.
Whitcher & Cleland lost about 30
tons of the 40 tons of ice stored in
their house, the loss being $500. They
can salvage about 10 tons, which is
being stored in the house in the rear
of their establishment on Main street.
The o. R. & N. track and sidings
lying between the burned houses were
badly damaged. the rails being warped
and twisted and this mornings train
was delayed in Pullman till new rails
could be laid.

FRANK RICHARDSON INJURED.

Frank Richardson. the son of F. D.
Richardson of the Bargain Store COM
pany of Grangeville. was seriously in
jured Tuesday afternoon about three
o'clock at the Wilkinson & Bouman
sawmill. Richardson was running the
slat saw and hauling the slabs away in
a wheelbarrow, and as he stopped over
to take hold of the wheelbarrow the
saw swung back and cut cash in his
thigh ten inches long and about five
inches deep. DR.. Campbell was sum-
moned and dressed the wound, taking
25 stitches to close it. 1t is a flesh
wound and did not touch the bone.
Richardson is a member of the '08
