Palouse Wheat on Market

Palouse, Wash.-The first load
of wheat brought to Palouse OF the
1908 crop was hauled from the Joe
McClung farm west Of town yester-
day. The wheat is of the Jones
Fife variety and tested So pounds.
It will yield 35 bushels to the acre.
The threshing machines have al!
pulled out from Palouse, some 20 in
number and the harvest is in full
swing. While indications are that
the crop is not quite as heavy as
last year it is believed that it will
net the farmers as much money. Lo-
cal dealers are quoting 16 cents
for forty-fold and 70 cents for red
wheat. Farmers are not selling,
the majority stating that they will
hold for 80 cents.

Boost Brewery Assessment

Boost Brewery Assessment
North Yakima, Wash. The
county commissioners, sitting as a
board Of equalization, today raised
the valuation OF the improvements
at the plant of the Yakima Brew
ing & Mailing company from $2.-
400 to $500. This, however, was
really in pursuit of an agreement
between the parties, because when
the assessment was made certain
improvements we're not recorded
through an oversight. The raise
therefore. was not so much OF an
increase as a correction of an ex.
listing error. Several changes were
made where lands had been wrong
ly classified. such as that OF prop.
erty classed as irrigable but with
out water, or property classed a,
improved which had no improve
ments.

Senior Texas Senator Men toned in Connection With
 Nomination.

Washington, May 4. There are certain gentlemen whose business it is to let the waiting world know of Gov. Johnson's S movements, moods and nomina- tion chances. These gentlemen have put forth with all due gray ity the statement that the Gov ernor's forthcoming visit to Washington will not be made the occasion for a political demon stration. The intimation is that the Governor was to have been boomed right royalty by his ad- mirers in Washington, and that the booming is not to proceed is in accordance with the Govern OTIS expressed wishes.
 Minnesota's Chief Executive is coming here to meet the execu- tives of other sovereign States and the Chief Executive of the United States to discuss the well fare of the country and to find means to assure that destruction does not come. It is perhaps just as well for MT. Johnson that he has negatived the proposal of his friends whose enthusiasm boiled until the steam scalded their judgment. An attempt to turn the visit of the Governor to the conservation congress into political ratification would blight all his buds of hope for the nom- ination. it is declared.

TWO DEATHS IN
 KENTUCKY FEUD
Ed Callahan Killed by Broth er-in-Law, Who Is Shot by
 Son of the Murdered Man

Lexington, Ky., May B. Another chapter was written in the celebrated Breathitt County feud yesterday, when Ed Calla- han, who with Judge James Har- gis, was the leader of the Har- gis faction in the feud. Calla- han was fatally stabbed by John Spicer, his brother-in-law, who in turn was shot dead by Calla- hans young son, who was sur rendered.
 The trouble arose over sepera- tion of Callahan and his wife, who was Spicer's sister. When Spicer entered Callahan's store the two became engaged in a fight, Spicer welding a knife with a fatal effect. Young Cal lahan then secured a revolver and shot his uncle dead. After wards he surrendered to the au- thorities; claims that the shot was fired in defense to his fath- CT.
 This is the second death of this character within a few months. Judge James Hargis was killed in his own store by his son.
 Neither Callahan or Hargis had been punished in the crimi- nal courts for the killing of Cox and Marcum.

ago it was said that Sen ator Charles A. Culberson of Texas was in line to be the heir of MT. Bryan's strength in the conven- tion at Denver in case the Ne braskan should find it impossit le to control two-thirds of the dele gates for his own nomination. This information came from close political friends of Mr. Bryan. Since it was given to the public in the Middle West tse Eastern public has had it through the me- dium of the New York papers.
 Today the Democratic expecta- tion seems to be that if the claims of MT. Lyncl, Gov. Johnson's friend and prophet, are we'll founded, and the Nebraskan shall find that his strength, is not what he believed it would be, the votes he will controll will be thrown to MT. Cuibertson, thereby almost certainly securing his nomina- tion.

Keep yourselves posted on Union work and make your local and county Union meetings bright and attractive and stand by and defend eachother against all assaults from without and traitors from within Our Union Is more pros- porous than ever before. You are now in the rush planting another crop. Be sure to plant sufficient acreage of food crops for your families and animals; and don't neglect to cultivate them.

Let your land lie idle and grow up in weeds rather than to over-crop yourself. Let no no man fear; our cause is just.
