GROWER IS OPTIMISTIC
W. |. La Toilette Says Yield of
Fruit Will Be Large.
Weather Conditions Have Been Ideal
--High Prices of Last Year Not
Likely to Prevail This.

W. L. La Toilette, who owns the finest
and largest fruit ranch in Whitman
county, consisting of several hundred
acres located at Wawawai on the Snake
river, was in town Saturday. The soil
and climate at Wawawai are peculiarly
adapted to fruit culture, something
which may be said Of the entire Snake
river region. Mr.. La Toilette was par
tcularly optimistic last Saturday in
speaking OF the prospects for an i'm
mense yield of fruit this year. The sea-
son has opened propitious, and the
chances are we will have az large, if not
a larger, fruit yield than in 1907. That
was immense, which baffied all efforts
of most orchardists to save the entire
crops. There is little likelihood of frosts
nipping the tender buds, and everything
looks good for an immense yield.
Mr.. La Toilette said growers need not
expect the prices that prevailed last
year. The abnormal prices paid then
was caused by the failure, or partial
failure, OF crops in many of the eastern
states, which made an unprecedented
demand for our fruit. Hence thousands
OF boxes of apples were sold from 81 to
81 80 per box T. o. b. cars here, prices
that will not prevail this year judging
from present outlook. The only loss to
fruit so far reported in the east is in
Colorado, which is said to be $1,OOO,-
600.
Speaking Of the conditions prevailing
last year, Mr. La Toilette said he lost
fully $4,000 in not having pickers and
boxers at the right time-that much
fruit going to waste for lack of help
This should not be and we hope not to
hear Of it's occurring again. Fruit pick
ing and packing is an easy occupation,
and thousands who cling to the cities
could do this work and enjoy a delight,
ful summers outing at the same time.
There is no excuse for men to clamOr for
food in the cODgested centers in the win
ter time when 80 many opportunities are
presented for making money in the rural
districts during the harvest season.

JUDGES TO Be ELECTED
Terms of Three Supreme Court
Justices Expire This Year.
Democratic Scheme to Make State
Bench BIZ Partisan Instead of
Non-Partisan.

Seattle, Wash, May 5.-(Special Cor.
respondence )-There is strong sentiment
among republican leaders throughout
the state in favor of taking some method
of reminding the republican party voters
on primary election day that the pres
ent supreme court, made up of seven re
publican lawyers, is regarded as one OF
strongest judicial bodies in the United
States. The terms OF three Of the seven
members expire this year. They are
Chief Justice Hiram E. Hadley and As.
sOciate Justices Milo A. Root and Her
man ID. Crow.
So far as can be learned there will be
no serious opposition to either of these
judges from any other republican candi-
dates. But it is known that the demo-
cratic state organization is making
preparations to bring out one or two
prominent democratic lawyers as candi-
dates for justices of the supreme court.
Their election will then be urged in the
interest Of a partisan" judiciary.
This argument will have its source in the
democratic camp, but an effort will be
made to give it publicity as much as
possible through republican channels.
1t is argued by republicans, on the
other hand, that the election of demo-
cratic judges under such circumstances
would make the supreme court bench BIZ
partisan instead of bipartisan. This,
it is declared, would be no Improvement
over present conditions. 1t is pointed
out that where a nOn-partisan judiciary
is we'll established in some OF the older
states, such as New York, it has come
about through gradual transition that
has required years of time. On the theory
that judges, like poets and baseball UNI
pires, are born, not made, there is always
a sort Of wedding out process going on
in the minds of practicing attorneys in
regard to members of the bench before

President Barrett OF Atlanta, Georgia,

A resolution was passed asking con-
gress to remove the tariff on jute.
The question of handling wheat in
bulk was again threshed out-the ques-
tion, we mean, not the wheat-with the
usual sentiment shown in it's favor.
The local union furnished dinner for
the visiting brethren. at which over 200
sat down. Pumpkin pic, cherry pie, hog
and hominy, more cherry pie and other
good things were on the boards in
plenty.
The next meeting of the union will be
held in Garfield the first Wednesday in
June. A meeting will take place in Pull
man either the 8th or 18th OF June to
perfect state organization.

IN solving the problem of the betterment
OF Coltax school accommodations, have
asked the cooperation Of Superintend-
ent Nicholas in plans which they have

terested in educational matters. There

experience TO talk of the benefits of in
dustrial education.
In next week 3 papers the time, place
and all details of the meeting will be an.
nounced, and the ladies who have under
taken the work of assisting in this vital
matter hope that their enthusiasm will

BRICK YARD RUNNING AGAIN.
Easum Brothers Will Burn Several
kiins of Brick This Summer,

Easum Brothers started up the brick
yard in South Colfax last week, after an
idleness of over year. This idleness,
however, was partially enforced, the fuel
question entering largely into the mat
ter. The Messrs. Easum will burn a
small kiln of 125,0OO brick as soon az
possible, this to be followed by several
kilns before the close of the season. The
material for making brick is here in
quantity and Of the best quality, and
the demand for brick throughout the
Palouse is great, hence we look for the
industry to grow. The Easums for the
building they are putting up at Dayton
had to send to Spokane for brick. The
brick for the new hotel at Winona will
be made here, as well as for the numer-
GUS new buildings going up throughout
the county. Fully Is men are employed
in and around the yards, making a nice
little pay roll.

Farmers Educational and Co.
Operative Union Meeting.
Over 200 of the Membership Pres

for Conside ration.

The Whitman county branch of the
Farmers Educational & Co Operative
Union OF America met in force in Colfax
Wednesday, 50 delegates being in at
tendance and fully 200 members of the
order lending their presence to aid in
the good work the union had in hand
President j. S. Schrock was il the
chair and Secretary 0. w. Pollard had
his hands full as usual.
1t was resolved that the union cooper
ate with the Grange in the matter of fire
insurance. The Grange heretofore has
refused to issue fire insurance except to
its own membership but recently has
changed this policy and voted to allow
the Farmers Union membership to Join
With them in this privilege, of which the
local was not slow to take advantage.

Letters from Congressman Jones and
Cushman were read bearing on the sub
iect, also from the cOmmissary general
to the attorney generals office at Wash
ington, telling why Kansas hard wheat
flour was preferred in the Philippines,
from all which something may come out
to change or modify existing conditions.
1t seemed to be the cOncensus of opinion
that the milling has to do with the dis
elimination against our wheat for use

Ex-Governor Nc Bride Here.

Ex Governor Henry Mcbride was in
town several hours Monday, mingling
with the brethren and taking a horo-
scope of the political horizon. The gov
ernor expressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the outlook for his nomination for
governor, saying the people OF the west

loyal support from many sections. Mr..
Mcbride will return to Whitman county
later and may make few speeches.

DEATH OF MRS. DAVENPORT.
Wife of John G. Davenport Passes
Away Ripe in Years.


From Hoquiam, Western Washington,
comes news of the death of Mrs. Sarah
l.. Davenport, wife of John C. Daven-
port, we'll known pioneer of this part of
the state, who passed to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns Mon
day morning, May 4, aged 70 years.
She crossed the plains to Oregon when
child, consequently knew something
about pioneering. The pioneer spirit
still burning she and her husband came
to COIfax in 1874, when Mr.. Davenport
engaged in merchandising, besides erect,
ing and operating the first -four mill in
Whitman county. He also conducted
other lines Of business, among which
we're livery stable, blacksmith shop,
besides operating a stage line between
COlfax and Spokane. The Davenport
home at that time was located opposite
where the pOstoffice now stands, and
was the most pretentiOus edifce here
and the scene of many merry makiDgs
during pioneer days.
The DavenpOrts moved to Cheney in
1881. They have resided at various
times in the last named place, Spokane
and Portland, four years ago going to
Hoquiam to live. The town OF Daven-
port, Lincoln county, was named after
him. Walter j, Davenport of Coltax is
q nephew.
Mrs Davenport was greatly beloved
by all who knew her. Peace to her
ashes!
