ARRASM|TH SOUNDS
NOTE OF WARNING
GRAIN INSPECTOR SAYS FARMERS
ARE RAISING TOO MANY VA
RITES OF WHEAT.

State Grain Inspector John w. Ar.
raSmith, who has just returned to Ia
coma from an extended trip through
the cereal districts of Washington, saws
The wheat growers of the state are max.
ing big mistake in growing so many
different varities of grain He believes
that it is bad handicap on the wheat
growing industry to get rid Of all the
varities barring two or three.
4 would recommend" said he in an
interview that Turkey Red and Jones
Fife be used for fall sowing in the arid
and semi-arid sections of the state for
winter wheat, and Bluestem be used
in these sections for spring wheat. In
the heavy soils of the humid districts
torty-fold, white amber and Russian
Red are the best varities for fall SOW
ing, and Little Club and Red Chaff Club
for spring wheat. All of these varities
are good milling wheat with the posi-
BILE exception of Red Russian, and / re-
gard is as a fair milling grain when
raised under good conditions.
az Tie present llIIlo ,tue farmers are
growing number of types of Club, a
number of Bluestem and also of Red.
We ought to grow only about two of
each kind. This would greatly simpli.
~ the grading of the grain, and the
wheat exported from our state would be
standardized in the markets and we
would get a much better reputation all
over the world than We now have. The
buyer would know exactly what he was
getting and the seller what he was SELL
ing. AS 1t is now, cars containing
several varities of wheat are shipped
TO inspection points, and it is impossi-
Die TO grade this mixture satisfactorily.
and we consequently have a mixture
OF grades. Such wheat is not worth
as much to the miller as either one OF
the varities making the conglomera-
tlon would be worth standing alone,
and the result is that the value of the
entire car is impaired from the miller's
standpoint This condition has only
obtained in recent years, and it is be-
coming a serious knock to the grain
industry of Washington.

A WARNING MESSAGE.

In another column of the Statesman
today appears am article, submitted
for publication by a member of the
First Spiritualist and Liberal society
OF Walla Walla- The article purports
to be a spirit message from Rufus
Choate, an eminent American jurist
who lived in the early part of the nine
teenth century and who for several
years was a member of the United
states senate. Mr.. Choate through a
Walla Walla medium sends warning
message to the people of the United
Staltes'-a message in which the peril
of war with Japan is pointed out in
subtle language Whether the spiri,
of the dead can communicate with the
living is much mooted question and
one we do not care to enter into. How
ever. we cheerfully give space to the
communication.

PRAISES "RED FEATHER."
(Tacoma Ledger.)


Red Feather" the DeKoven opera
whose charming music. has given it a
longer lease on life than is usually al
lotted the modern comic opera, is the
Offering at the Tacoma theater. With
Cheridah Simpson as the bright par
ticular star and one of the best singing
choruses heard at the Tacoma theater
this season the production opened a
two nights engagement last evening.
Red Feather is comic opera-not a

cal songs and some low comedy as it's
claim to popular favor Charles Klien

uniquely enough for comic opera, it has

responsible for the lyrics. Reginald De

Red Feather has been adorned rather

of the numbers are gems. I'm the first

the hearing. There are, however, other
attractive vocal numbers.
Cheridah Simpson is charming ac-
tress and she sings the role of "Red

has soprano voice of splendid volume

time unchallenged and all sorts OF
! trammels and burdens were imposed
upon interstate business. 1t was regu-
lated, taxed and even prohibited in
some cases.
The rule of law which governed the
situation for many years, as prescribed
by the supreme court of the United
States, was that so long as congress
remained silent and did not undertake
the regulation of commerce under it's
constitutional authority the states were
free to impose regulations. That was
the theory of concurrent authority.
The extent of the confusion growing
out of this condition of affairs can
scarcely be realized in this age of con-
tinuous and unbroken routes of travel
and transportation. Passengers had to
change cars at state lines nd goods had
to be reshipped. The privilege of going
into, out Of, or through states was
taxed and the right to do so was held
not to conflict with the power of con-
gress over interstate commerce.
Railroads Sought Relief.
The railroads struggled for a time
against these conditions in the courts
without avail and finally, backed by
the peoples insistent demand for con-
tinuous and expeditions transportation
and taking advantage of a most extra
local authority. move was made upon
congress to assert it's constitutional
power and assure to every railroad in
the United States the unhampered
right to carry persons and property
from one state to another and to con-
meet with roads of other states so as
to form continuous lines of transporta-
ton.
| AS the railroads sought the federal
power for their protection, so the peo-
pie resorted to the same power for
their own relief 1t began gradually to
dawn upon the American people that
they were living substantially under
railroad domination so far as their
business interests We're concerned.
| The agitation for railway legislation
preceding the passage of the act OF
1881 which created the interstate COM
merce commission was caused by the
fragrant disregard by the general off
GERS of railroad companies of their OBJ
! legations to the public and their du-
ties to their security holders.
| The general purpose of that law was
to secure the equality of right between
shippers and communities which had
been so generally ignored. Favored in
dividuals and localities had been en-
riched, and unfavored ones had been
brought to poverty. Much relief was
anticipated from this measure and in
deed, the grosser forms of discriminat-
ing favors were for time apparent
ly. checked.

GOOD THINGS AT HOME.

While attending the state horticul-

Ia last month a Spokane man took &C.,
casion to personally investigate the
possibilities of fruit growing in the
fertile Walla Walla valley with the re-
suit that yesterday he closed deal for
a big body Of land in what is known as
the foothill district, on which he In
tends to plant one of the biggest or
chards in this section of the state. This
man could see with only a superficial
investigation what Walla Walla people
have overlooked for years and are Still
overlooking, that the foothill district is
highly adapted to the growing of COM
marcial orchards By the foothill dis
trict is meant that section of country,
extending from Dixie on the east to
the Walia Walla river on the west,
body of land perhaps 10 miles long by
four to six miles in width, SO per cent
of which is capable of producing every
variety of fruit grown in the famous
Yakima or Wenatchee districts and not
even excepting the Hood River dis
triot where growers last year netted all
the way from 5000 to $500 an acre off
their apple orchards.
The soil of the Hood River and We
natchee districts is almost identical to
that found in the foothill districts, a
heavy rich loan containing all the
growing, with the Blue Mountains
forming a protecting wall from sud-
den frosts which have been a thing
of terror to the fruit growers of the
Yakima country. More ideal conli-
tons for the fruitgrower and small
farmer could not be found than in that
section of country right south of Wal

The following was spoken, under
spirit control, by a prominent lady of
the First Spiritualist and Liberal So
ciety of Walla Walla, and recorded in
shorthand by her son, on January IS.
1908. The spirit controlling her gave
his name as Rufus Choate.
Rufus Choate, when in the physical,
is spoken of as an American jurist and
orator. He was elected to Congress in
1880; also in 1892 In 1871 he succeed
ed Daniel Webster in the United States
senate, serving until 1S45. He was one
of the most scholarly of American pub
lie men, and among the greatest loren
sic advocates America has produced.
Mr.. Choate seems to still have at
heart the welfare of his country, and is
fearful for her safety at this time. He
visits the medium twice a week, Civ
ing a short, interesting talk each time.
Many, no doubt, will deny the source
of these messages. We can only say
to such that little education along
these lines of study will be beneficial.

There is no such a. word as fail.
When any great enterprise is to be fur
thered there must be no faltering. All

What the world needs is men; men that

will stand up for the right, whatever
happens. The present incumbents of
the high offices are paltry, cringing
lot; they are looking for power; they
are aping the ways of the moneyed
men, falling into their lines, carrying
out their DEGREES and making of them
selves the corrupt politicians, not the

best in every line of action. We are
overshadowed by a great peril-from
