GROWERS TIRE OF BLUESTEM
Is Best Variety, But Fails to Stand
Extreme Cold.

Many of the most extensive wheat
growers in the Walla Walla valley
who have experienced heavy losses by
the freezing out of their fall wheat
during the past few years have about
decided to drop bluestem as a fall
wheat and adopt more hardy variety.
While bluestem yields we'll and brings
the top price in the market, and is an
excellent variety of spring wheat, it
bas been demonstrated that it is not
what may be properly termed winter
variety. For this reason some of the
larger growers have been investigating
the merits of different varieties with a
view of getting the one best adapted
to the soil and climate as winter va
riety.
AS result two varieties have been
selected as filling the hill as to yield
and quality, as we'll as being hardy
winter varieties. These are the turkey
red and foxtail. which, however, were
not wholly without fault, as The farm
ers in this section object to bearded
varieties, applicable to both, while the
turkey red was found TO shatter to
some extent, and the straw was fine
and slippery, Eeing hard to keep in the
header boxes; but by the use of COM
bined harvesters both of these objec-
tions are practically overcome.
This season Henry Vincent. who is
farming the extensive ranch of John
Hoffman and Paxton g. Stine on Eureka
fiat, has put in 1000 acres of turkey
red, which has withstood the extreme
cold weather experienced last winter
and is making good stand. Mr..
Paxton says that large portion of
this crop has already been contracted
for by farmers in this district for next
falls seeding. d. K. Kirk. who is
farming 5000 acres and has 5000 acres
summer fallow, has put in 1000 acres
to foxtail, which has withstood very
severe test, and Mr.. Kirk said yester-
day that it was making fine stand.
The ground upon which this was sown
is located but short distance from
Snake river, and just previous to the
cold weather the snow at this poinl
was taken away by chinook, leaving
the field bare. The wheat was sowr
late in November and made its growth
during the winter and while tht
ground remained bare. the thermome
ter went to IA degrees below zero ant
the ground was frozen to depth of
inches. Mr.. Kirk thinks this test
most satisfactory one, and establishe
its reputation as winter variety be
yond question. In regard to yield, b
says 34 bushels to the acre were pro
duced two years ago on the Babcocl
ranch from this variety, and last yea
it made 38 1-2 bushels to the acre.

EVIDENCE OF PERRYMANS INCOMPETENCE

the past seven months I obtained prin-
cipally through my own efforts.
"Ada I. Ely"
Perryman was leading actor in a
disciplinary farce on the school
grounds, during the forenoon recess
hour, Wednesday. There was some
sort of commotion in the line Of schol-
ars leading to the door Of the school
building. The principal took a young
lady to task for the distur bance aud
struck her with ruler. tbs young
lady being innocent of any disord erly
conduct, defended herself and retaliat-
ed by striking at the ''perfesser. !"
Later IN the day the principal was
subjected to the humiliating ordeal
Of apologizing before the school for
bis serio-comic act, at the instance of
the girls father.
This is but one Of many disciplin-
airy incidents that have been of com
mon occurrence during the Perryman
regime-incidents which for weeks
have been on the tongues of the pupils
and which are the seeds from which
grew the present disorganized condi-
tion Of the Athena public school. and

In the nature of evidence of Mr..
Perryman's incompetency to hold sue
cessfully the position of principal in
a school of Athena's requirements the
Press has interviewed Mr.. Arnold
Wood and Miss Ada Ely, former men,
bers of the now defunct 18th grade Of
the Athena high school department.
Asked for a statement embodying
bis reasons for leaving school, Mr..
Wood unhesitatingly penned the fol-
lowing:
"Mr. Boyd,
''Dear Sir: You express desire to
know my reason for quitting school.
1t can be summed up in a very few
words. | considered that the profes
sor was incompetent as an instructor
and that what had learned through

quested to give her reason for quitting

MAKE BIG MONEY IN ONIONS
Irrigon People Find That Gardening
is Very Profitable.

On the 25th of March Mr.. Roadruck
made small shipment of young onions
to Spokane, and on the 30th he got re-
turns for them, at the rate of $1.25 per
dozen bunches six in bunch. net, the
express charges being 35 cents and the
gross price $l.6O, says the Irrigon r.
rigator.
In sending the check for the amount
the buyer, Davenport's restaurant. said
that they were most too large for their
use. and if they had been sent two
weeks earlier. when they were about
the size of lead pencil. they would
have been worth % cents per dozen
bunches, or $2.65 net.
We call the attention of our people
to these facts, as onions can be shipped
from here by February /, and there is
big money in them at 2 cents per
bunch of six. They can be planted in
the fall. and will be d sure source of
revenue to the planters.
We look to see many of our land
owners go into the business and put
out large acres this fall. There is a
ready market for all we can raise.
The Hotel Portland would alone take
100 dozen bunches day. and the Sro-
kane market as many more.

Local Option Law at Lebanon
Outwitted BY Doctor.
RUSHING PRESCRIPTION BIZ
People of That Town Charge Physi-
clan Not Named, With Ped
ding Whiskey Pre-
scriptions.

The report comes from Lebanon of
doctor at that place violating the
local option liquor law. The COM
munity is said to be incensed and
threatening to take drastic measures
to have his practices brought to an
end. Regardless of the truthfulness
Of the certificate he appends to each
prescription, it is alleged that he
freely gives them out for 25 cents and
directs the druggist to fill them for
one quart of whiskey. The records Of
one druggist, 1t is said, reveal that
this is the only practice he possesses
and that regardless of the age or all
ment of the applicant, he fills out the
orders for the intoxicant.
Under the law it is necessary for the
physician to append a certificate to
each prescription written to the effect
that he has examined the patient and
finds him in need of the stimulant pre-
scribed. Many of the socalled inval-
ids, it is said. are ready to 60 ON the
witness stand and swear their health
was perfect at the time alleged exam
nations were made.
The community realizes that under
the provisions of the law there is no
means of bringing about this DOCTORS
conviction and the advisability of pc
titioning the county medical society to
take the matter before the state board
and demand that he be barred from
practice is being considered.
The father Of minor recently found
under the infunce Of liquor obtained
through this source is so inoensed that
he offers reward of $50 for the con-
viction of the party or parties selling
the intoxicant or making it possible for
the same to be obtained.

FLOOD FROM THE DEEP SNOW
Snow From Three to Fifteen Feet
Deep in Idaho Mountains.

Fear is being expressed at Lewiston
that the warm, showery weather Of
the past few days will cause the high
est water ever recorded in the Snake
and Clearwater rivers. The foundation
for this belief lies in the great area of
accumulated snow in the Snake and
Clearwater watersheds, reaching back
$50 miles into the Bitter Root range,
which is reported to be melting under
the influence OF the warm rains. From
present indications spring freshets will
begin earlier this year, the usual period
being the first of June.
In the Thunder mountain district
from four to fourteen feet of snow COW
ers the ground. The Buffalo Hump
mining camp is buried under 15 feet
of packed snow and other mountainous
sections of central Idaho are covered
by from three to eight feet of solid
snow.
Never in the history of central
Idaho. extending over a period of AZ
years. has such condition prevailed
as late in the spring. Unless cold
spell intervenes this snow bids fair to
90 off with rush, and should such a
thing happen, Lewiston might again
sec rowboats padding ON her main
streets. as in the spring of 1895.
Weather reports show that the
showery condition is prevailing all
over the plateau and if other sections
of the Columbia basin are affected by
snow in the same degree as the Lewis
ton country it looks as il there might
be repetition of the floods of the
nineties. Within the last few days
Snake river has risen several feet and
is now at the highest point of the year.

Body Of Fireman Unearthed In
Cayuse Canyon.
REMAINS WERE NOT MUT|LATED
May Have Been Conscious When
Locomotive Plunged into
Umatilla River.

After being pinioned in the cab of
his engine and under the waters of he
Umatilla river for a week. the body
of George McPartridge. the fireman on
the ill-fated trnin, which was wrecked
near Cayuse, the morning of April 10,
was recovered Wednesday evening
about $50 and brought to this city on
a work train. which arrived at 8:45
says the Pendleton Tribune.
The corpse was found by members
of the Blue Mountain Lodge No. 384
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen. of La Grande, of which the
deceased was a member. These men
have been searching INCREASINGLY since
the disaster.
Whether the unfortunate fireman
was killed outright or drowned while
held under the surface of the river is
question which will probably never
be settled in the minds of all unless
an autopsy should be held for that
purpose The body was not mutilat-
ed and with the exception Of some
slight bruises on the head did not ap-
pear any evidence of severe injury. 1t
is for this reason that many think that
either while unconscious or not, he
was drowned.
1t will be remembere that Engineer
Schilke stated at the time of the
wreck his fileman was sitting on the
left hand side of the cab and those
who have observed the pictures of the
wreck on display will have noticed
that this was the side the engine
was lying on and the side of the cal
was smashed in SO that it had to bt
torn away before the body could b'
removed. This was made possible BY
the arrival of the derrick for the pur
pose of removing the engine.
