1t is certain that the ancients had a
knowledge OF dentistry; but II is diff
cult to determine when OF by whom the
use OF ARTIFICIAL teeth was introduced.
Herodotus says that the Egyptians had
dentists for the teeth" In the British
Museum there are various dental IN
struments which had been found 10 the
ruins OF Pompeil. and Galen. In the
second century. describes the method OF
extracting teeth by means OF forceps.
Belzoni says that artificial teeth were
IN use in antiquity, since he found
some specimens In the Casacomhs.
Modern dentistry admits that the

Of instruments used for THIS purpose
The earliest known allusion to arti-

SHIPS QUARTER
MILLION BUSHELS OF WHEAT

Kennewick, Wash, Dec. 31.-The
fall shipments of wheat from Kenne-
wick are practically over, there having
been in the neighborhood of 100000
bushels shipped from here this sea-
son. There is still considerable wheat
held by some farmers, who refuse to
sell at the prevailing prices, and this
wheat will probably be held until next
spring.
The season just closed has been
one of the most successful in the Ken
newick district, the wheat yielding on
an average in the neighborhood OF
81 bushels to the acre, and the price
has been good. The acreage planted
to wheat in the hills this year was
much greater than in preceding years,
and indications point now to a heavy
increase next year over this season.

DONNA MEMBERS NOW ON
TRIAL ON TREASON CHARGE

st: Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The trial
of 1859 members of the first douma,
who signed the Viborg manifesto about
eighteen months ago, calling upon the
citizens of Russia to stand up for
their rights, for popular representation
and for an imperial parliament, will
begin today before the court of ap-
peals. The former douma members
are charged with high treason and
with the PRONUNCIATION of an appeal
to the people calling upon them to re-
fuse to pay taxes or serve in the army
or navy.
The verdict of guilty is anticipated,
as the gist of the accusation is estab-
lished by the text of the manifesto,
and only a technical defense can be
interposed.
The prominence of the accused, how
ever, among whom are Prof. Serge
Mourmtseff, former president of the
lower house; Petrankevitch, and many
other Liberal leaders, and the total
ineffectiveness of the Viborg appeal
may induce the government to further
leniency.
Seven of the leading lawyers of Rus
STA, headed by Vassili Maklakoff, lead
er of the Constitutional Democrats in
the second douma, will appear for the
defense. The trial is expected to last
ten days.

Economy is wealth. Extra and I'M

Portable Cot for Hog.

fOrt0Dlo Cot for Hogs.
Following is the description given by
the Wisconsin Agricultural Station Of
a valuable portable hog cot which will
be found of use on the farm. The cot
Is six feet wide, eight feet long, six
feet two inches high in front and three
feet high in the rear.
The floor is Built first, with 2x4s
as stringers, and the frame is held on
the floor by blocks at each corner. The
large sized house Is provided with two
doors In front and temporary NOV

able partition in the middle SO that the
cot can easily be adjusted to accom-
modate two lots Of swine at the same
time. On level with the glass win

RAILROADS ARE MOVING
EMPTY CARS EASTWARD

Northern railroads are moving empty
cars eastward for the first time in
years. The last big movement oc-
Cured more than twelve years ago,
when big supply of empty cars was
sent west in anticipation of a big east
bound business that was suddenly cut
off because the Western shippers de-
cided upon curtailment of output and
abandoned a part of their trade. Now
empties are going east because the vol
ume of westbound business exceeds
the eastbound movement, circum-
in the lumber and single trade.
Lumbermen claim that all the north
ern lines are storing empty cars on
the sidings and logging roads of a
number of the big Washington lumber
mills. The roads themselves do not
want to give up storage track room
for cars when the trackage facilities
are needed to facilitate the grain
movement.
1t is insisted by many traffic Off
Gals that there will be big increase
in the lumber and single shipments
by spring, and they are preparing for
it by keeping many cars on the west
end.
Complaints have come in from many
mills to the effect that the railroads
are Gripping their side-track facilities
at the plants by taking out some of
the rails. Railroad men deny this as
sertion and the story is not strongly
verified.

Heney Of the department of justice ar
rived in New York Wednesday
Mr.. Heney was a guest at the City
Club and in an impromptu address
said that the cause Of corruption in
San Francisco and other western cities
was the same which melted crusades
in eastern cities.
Special privileges are at the bot
tom OF the trouble" he said. "The
condition which exists in all cities is
that vice and public service corpora
lions join hands. The remedy is to
remove temptations; that is, do away
with the special privileges. 1t is no
solution to elect business men to the
places formerly held by politicians, be-
cause the business man already is
bought up in advance by his inter-
ests."

Seattle, Dec. 30.-For the purpose Of
establishing closer relations between
all departments of the single and
lumber industry, the Pacific Coast
Shippers Association has been COM

the members Saturday it was decided
to reincorporate, increase the trustees
from three to nine. sraise the capital

secretary to look after the interest of
the members. The association will
widen it's scope and adapt itself to
conditions as they exist today. An

The total cost of material to build
