city, headed by w. L. Steinwee, APP
peared before the county commits
sioners Monday afternoon and asked
for the building OF wagon road to
the Benton county line. The request
was granted by the county commits

$500 and $400 for the building OF the
road. F. NJ Well OF the White Bluffs

The plan as proposed calls for The
building and improving of a road to
the Benton county line Citizens and
business men OF White Bluffs and
North Yakima and the White Bluffs
Land Co. will build the road from
White Bluffs to the Yakima courtv
line, opening a new artery of trade.
The county commissioners will make
an inspection of the road Wednesday,
weather conditions permitting. Work
upon the new road will begin at once
from the Benton county line. and
will be completed in time to secure
the late winter and spring trade. The
new road will be used for freight and
auto service.
Inadequate and inefficient freight
and passenger boat service amount
ing to isolation has caused these steps
to be taken by the growing communi-
ty. The trade of this rich and fertile
country has heretofore been con-
trolled by Walla Walla merchants.
but the building of the new road Will
afford trade outlet with North Yak

Duty Is Moral One.

''There is no obligation on the part
of the state bar association to take
action in the event that Judge Root,
Mr.. Gordon or any other member of
the bar is shown to have been guilty
of misconduct. other than the moral
duty that the lawyers as a body owe

merely an organization of a social

power over it's members as are exert

DECISION STANDSTIlL REVERSED
Moral Duty Alone Would Compel
Association to Take Action
Against Offenders.

SPOKANE, Dec. 1.-While NJ. ].
Gordon, as attorney for the Great
Northern. wrote the opinion handed
down by Supreme Judge Milo A. Root
in the case of w. II. Harris against
the railroad company. the rights of
the parties in the litigation will not
be affected. according to the opinion
of Spokane attorneys.
The decision, the lawyers who have
expressed themselves on the subject
say. will stand as the supreme law in
this state. on the point covered, IN
til reversed by decision. concurred
in by majority of the supreme court
judges. in some case coming before
that body in the future.
''The supreme court would not
change its opinion on the point in
controversy in case it had decided
merely because the attorney for one
of the parties wrote the opinion"
said Corporation Counsel Law ,ence
r. Hamblen. THAT would be highly
improper from whatever point
viewed, but it could not be consid-
cred as justifying the court in reced-
ing from its position. if the decision
was correct enunciation of the law
on the point. Even if it We're shown
that a supreme judge who wrote the
opinion or concurred in it had been
bribed to take the position as an
nounced by his written opinion or
vote, that would make it none the
less a final decision of the court con-
corning the matters involved
Tn to Bar Association.
CAS- to whether the bar association
should take action in the matter Of
the disclosures in the investigation of
Judge Root. that will depend on the
report of the commission appointed
by he state bar association. If the
commission is satisfied that Judge
Root and Judge Gordon, or either Of
chem. are guilty of the charges made
against them in the current reports.
it will report to the state bar associa-
ton. The state bar association may
then call a special meeting and ap-
point committee to begin proceed
ings for the disbarment of whoever
is accused in the report of judicial or
professional conduct such as would
warrant that action

IF the commission expresses in its
report to the state bar association its
belief that the charges against those
whose conduct is investigated are
true the bar association may appoint
a committee to bring disbarment pro-
ceedings. The committee may bring
a case in the supreme court or in the
superior courts in the counties where
the persons charged reside. The
committee may ask that grand
jury be called to make an inquiry
and findings in the matter as basis

Cattle raising and farming are be-
yond the experimental stage in Alaska,
according to G. G. Georgeson, special
agent of the Agricultural Department
at Washington, who has for several
years been in charge of the depart
ment's work in Alaska, and whose an
naual report has just been received.
1t deals with the experiment of rails
ing cattle in Alaska. The work was
started in 1906 at Kenai, by the pur-
chase of two bulls and nine COWS, all
selected Galloways. This herd has
grown to three bulls, twenty-seven
COWS and twenty calves, and the ami
mails are in the best of health. While
considered a beef animal, the Gallo
ways are being bred with a view to
producing good mixers, and the sue
cess in selecting good mixers to in
crease the dairy value of the herd has
been marked.
Progress at the G. H. Frye ranch,
Kodiak, has been the most successful
this year OF any year since the work
began. There are about fifty acres of
land now in tame grass, most of which
is sown in timothy. Five hundred tons

ment. Finnish Black oats proved the
most desirable oats and, although 9TH
er varieties matured, this especial oat
is beyond all question, Mr.. Georgeson
says, the best for Alaska. Of the win
ter grain Amber winter rye matured
but Kharkov Russian winter wheat,
was winter-killed owing to an insult
ficient snowfall. Oats sown for hay
matured August 10. 1t made heavy,
excellent feed. On account of forty
varieties of grasses being experiment
ed with nothing has been determined
as to which Is the best, number of
we'll known varieties being winter
killed on account of the thin blanket
of snow The temperature drops to
50 below in the valley.
The question of growing stock feed
in the Copper river valley is simply
question of water. On the uplands
the vegetation is light, due to lack OF
moisture. In the lowlands along
streams, around lakes, and in moist
places the native grasses are vigorous
enough to yield heavily, but these
marsh grasses are unfortunately most
ly sedges and do not have much value
for feed. 1t is becoming more and
more apparent that irrigation is neces-
sary in the Copper valley and must
be resorted to to obtain anything like

of good length. This is a very en-
couraging feature. 1t shows what a
beneficial effect cultivation alone has
upon this soil.
The articles grown range from gar
den truck to the winter varieties of
wheat, and also include berries and
flowers. Hardly an article grown in
the state of Washington but has either
proved to be good grower or has
shown that at least one variety can be
raised with success.
One of the most interesting features
of Mr.. Georgesons report is the let

a number of Galloways sent there, and
later on dairy industry will be added
to the station. All this in time will
make the stock farms and government
stations self-sustaining, says Mr..
GeorgesOn.
Al the Sitka station Mr.. Georgeson
says the apple trees, Hyslop and Vel

but bore no fruit; the cherries did not
have quite SO much fruit as the year
before; currants, raspberries and
gooseberries grew in abundance; gar
den truck uIu well, and flowers, espe-
cially Japanese rose, made a splen-

places in Alaska.

asked to report their experience in
gardening with the seeds. The most
interesting Of all comes from Frank
Howard, commissioner at Coldfoot, on
the Koyukuk, in latitude 67:15, far
above the Arctic circle. Mr. Howard
says:
my whole garden was unusually
successful during the season Of 1907.
The reason for such was prolonged
period of clear warm days and nights,
| could say a period of continuous day
with almost continuous sunshine dur
ing June and July, with no cloudy
weather and frosty nights. I trans
planted cucumbers to open garden the
first week in June. The result was
much better than l expected, with Gu

of silage and eighty tons of hay were
put up this season for the winter feed,
the silage at a cost of about 81 ton,
while the hay was more expensive.
There are now 17S head of cattle on
the ranch. The cattle fattened by mid
summer and held their flesh well. The
range consists of low-lying hills and
beach land, which affords splendid pas
ture of native grasses.

little attention and out little feed the

The land was cropped this year TOT

very little of the land has been fertll-
ized at all. The grain this year grew

The articles grown range

and also include berries and

grown in the state of Wash
ington but has either proved
to be a good grower or has
shown that at least one va
riety can be raised with sue

One of the most interesting
features of Mr.. Georgeson's
report is the letters sent by
men who had received

June, July and August Is not sufficient
for the production of good crops.
''It is pleasure to be able to report
the gratifying success in all the farm
ing undertakings at the Rampant sta
ton during the past season." says Mr..
Georgeson. For some reason as yet
unexplained the climatic conditions in
the Yukon valley appear to be more
favorable to crop production than they
are in the Copper river valley. Kill
ing frosts occur about two weeks later
and the rainfall is nearly double what
it is at copper Center"
WASHINGTON'S WHEAT PRIZES.
Professor R. w. Thatcher, director
of the State Experiment Station, has
negotiated with prominent commercial
bodies of the state with the object of
ascertaining if the wheat-growing and
other interests would offer trophy,
known this year, and in years here
after when competed for, as 1.-The
Washington Commonwealth Wheat
Trophy"
The officers of the National Corn Ex-
position have asked that the State of
Washington provide this prize, to be
offered and competed for annually at
the exposition in Omaha. Wheat from
every section of the United States may
be entered in competition for the
Washington trophy. Indiana has con-
tributed the corresponding corn tro-
ply, and Illinois has contributed the
oat trophy The executive staff of the
Exposition has offered Washington the
opportunity of providing the wheat
trophy, on account of the reputation
of the state as a wheat-growing state.
Relative to other prizes which will
be offered at the Exposition, the Ex-
pertinent Station is advised that for
the best half bushel of milling wheat
prizes will be offered aggregating $3.50.
The latter prizes are intended for the
best light bread flour. For the best
cracker flour prizes aggregating $225
will be offered.
The National Corn Exposition de-
rives it's membership from that of

purpose is to bring together in one
