Mr.. Clagstone's exhibit is a mon
ster boar, not yet quite two years old,
but weighing 800 pounds. Mr.. Allen,
whose farm is five miles east of Pull
man, has still younger boar in his
exhibit that now weighs TOO pounds
Mr.. Allen also shows barrows that are
not yet year old, but account for
$50 pounds of pork when put on the
scales, and Mr.. Smith has pigs, under
five months old, weighing 219 pounds,
thus proving the quick-growing and

to see the car decorated with many

tearing down of the unsightly wooden
building, formerly used as black

palcing with a modern business block

most notable improvement possible on

having long been a blot upon that

has been a resident of Tacoma for
twenty years. He was graduated from
the Cincinnati Law School in 1882, and
has constantly followed the law as
his vocation ever since. He has never
held office except in the line of his
profession.
Parker served six years upon the
benchin Tacoma and was for some
years corporation counsel for Tacma.
He was indorsed by his brother lawyers
of Tacoma for the supreme court at
the time of the increase of the court
from five to seven judges. when Judges
Root and Grow were appointed by the
governor to fill the two extra places
then created.
The sentiment in Pierce county is
practically unanimous in favor OF
Judge Parker's candidacy. and his
supporters are numerous throughout
the state. Pierce county is not repre-
sented on the supreme bench at this
time, which also causes her candidate
to be regarded with favor.

old teachers and to pay those of the
27O extra teachers. There were 6209
teachers the previous year and about
6479 the year just closed A large
proportion of the years disbursements
went to pay interest on outdtanding
school bonds and warrants.
These figures are made up from the
annual reports of the several school
superintendents just made to State
Superintendent II. B. Dewey. All
the counties except Franklin have re-
ported. In making up this statement
figures for that county for the previous
year have been estimated. The state
superintendent, as soon as Franklins 8
report is received, will make up the
figures of actual days attendance for
each of the several counties upon
which the apportionment of state
school funds for the ensuing year is to
be made.
The facts about state school taxes
are peculiar and not generally known.
In the first place, the amount to be
raised, under present laws, is $40 a
census pupil. On the present census
of $50, 900 this would mean 81. 500, 900.
But before making the levy to raise
this 81. 800, 600 the state board of equal
ization estimates the receipts of the
state permanent school fund-that is,
the money to come in from interest on
bonds owned by that fund-from leases
of school lands and from the interest
on school land contracts. In case these
sources are estimated to produce, say
$500, 600, the state board will then de-
eide Just how much of the 50. 900, 900
each county shall pay. Each county's
proportion is based, not on the school
census population of that county, but
on the relation the total of that
county's equalized assessed property
valuations bears to the total equalized
valuation of all property in the state.
A county, the assessed valuation of
whose property is, say one-twentieth
of that of the whole state, must pay
twentieth of the state school tax,
while its schoo' census may show that
it has one-ffteenth of the school pop
ulation of the state.

Two more business blocks are to be

each will be ready for occupancy before

the plan now is for a depth of 1876

WATER RUINS HAY CROPS.

The stage of water is much higher
on the St. Maries river this year than
formerly, and ranchers have had to de-
lay cutting hay and may not get any
at all this season on account of high
water. states Coeur d'Alene report.
There are a number of farmers who
depend altogether upon marsh hay for
winter food for stock, and the outlook
is not encouraging for getting any this
year. This will be serious loss to
several, for they will either have to
sell off their stock or buy hay at big
price to winter their cattle and horses.
The ranchers one and all declare the
high stage of water to be due to the
Washington Water Power companY's
dam at Post Falls, and they are talk
ing of pooling their interests in order
to bring suit to compel the company to
pay damages and to lower its dam.
There are thousands of acres of the

During Last Scholastic Year.

Olympia. Wash. Sept. There
are more than 250,0OO children of
school age in this state, according to
the census taken in July. This is a
gain of about 1000 over the previous
year. The 1850 schoolhouses in the
state in July, 1908, and sites, Libraries
and other school property, are valued
at an aggregate of about SIS, 500, 900,
as against but $l2, 448, 291 the previous
year, a gain of about So, 900. 900.
The school census is presumed, of
course, to show all children in the
state between the ages of and q
years, but as under the law it is taken
usually in during the summer vaca-
tion, when many families are on vaca-
tion, in camp or elsewhere, it may be
accepted as fact many names which
belong there do not get on the lists.
Of course, few children actually re-
main in the public schools from the
time they are 6 years old until they
become q. In fact, the daily average

many items. 1t is but about one-half
