ing laws, and regulations, providing
more specifically what each institution
shall stand for, and lay down in un-
mistakable terms the law giving it ex-
istence.
"Herr Oberlehrer" in Washington.
Members of the Code Commission
are Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Il. B. Dewey; Attorney General
Of Washington J. d. Atkinson; County
Superintendent Showalter; and Mr..
John Hartman, an attorney Of Seattle,
and a member Of the University of
Washington board of regents.
The code which will be prepared by
the commission at their final meeting,
which will occur within a few days,
probably in Pullman, will be presented
before the next legislature, for legis-
latiye enactment. 1t is said that
prominent members of the legislature
favor the new code, and that its be-
coming a law is fairly probable.
One Of the important provisions of
the code is its provision for thigh
school Inspector This office in the
United States is comparatively new.
Az planned at present by the members
o. the commission, the work of the
high school inspector will correspond
to that Of the "Oberlehrer of Ger
many, whose business it is to inspect
sha schools of the state, reporting to
the school officials whose authority is
derived from the government.

Crops in this Section Better than ANY
where Else in State This Year.
HOT WINDS DAMAGE GRAIN IN MANY REGIONS
Adams Douglas and Lincoln Counties Suffer Most Pros
poets for Good Crops in Whitman County are Excel
lent and Prices Remain High

West and northwest of the Palouse
region of eastern Washington. namely
in Aadms, and southern Lincoln and
Douglas counties, nowadays the hot
sun and burning winds are combining
in bringing disaster upon the growing
fields of grain. Already, it is said,
in many localities of these counties it
is as dusty as ordinarily is expected
in the fall; and travellers over the
country roads leave behind them
streaks of dust that in the level
country can be seen for miles and
miles, through the hazy, smoky air,
the temperature and moisture content
of which is not good for the growing
of cereal crops. @
Prospects Discouraging
All this is somewhat dscouraging
for the farmers who reside there, who
are generally favored with bountiful
crops. Last week the lecturers who
accompanied the big wheat train which
the State College, in cooperation with
the Northern Pacific company conducted
over the latter's lines in eastern Wash
ington, observed that in many of the
mentioned localities there would be an
appreciable cutting down of the crop
yield, due partly to untimely drought.
and to violent winds that have pre-
vailed during the growing season.
Good Outlook in the PaIouse.
Judging from reports received at
the State College Experiment Station,
this year is going to be the one of all
others in which the farmers of the Pa
louise may rejoice that they live where
they do. For it is now pretty certain
that the Palouse country, among all
the cereal-growing regions of Wash
ingon, will be the only one in which
the crop yield will not be materially
lessened by the unfavorable conditions
of the weather.
The Favored Area.
Take map, and, beginning at
Spangle, draw a line to Sprague, in
the southeastern part of Lincoln county

9TH Annual Grange Picnic and Stock
Show viii Prove Record Breaker
in Matter of Attendance.
MANY ORANGES SHOW INTEREST
Kennedy Ford Clinton, Seats, Pine Grove South Paouse
Ewartsvile Spring Flat STAR Fallon, Sunset and
Other Oranges Take Part in Celebration.

Some three thousand people are in
attendance at the biggest grange cele-
bration ever held in eastern Washing
ton, at Lyle's grove, the celebration
to extend over the I'd, Sd and 4th. For
weeks preparations for the big celebra-
tion, under the management of MIR. 0.
E. Young, have been under way, and
neither effort nor expense have been
spared to make the events of the three
days great success.
# The Oranges.
Among the oranges present, are
Kennedy Ford Grange, of Palouse, and
also extending into Idaho; Clinton
Grange. near Pullman; Seats Grange,
Pullman; Pine Grove Grange, Albion !;
Evansville Grange, tributary to Pull
man; Suoth Palouse Grange, near Col
fax; Spring Flat Grange, near Colfax !;
Star Grange, between Pullman and
Colfax; Fallon Grange, near Palouse F.;
and Sunset Grange, of Sunset. Besides
these there are several grange organi-
cations near Palouse, and tributary
thereto, whose names cannot at this
writing be learned.
Organization of Oranges.
Kennedy Ford Grange was organized
five years ago. At present Mr.. j. N.
Berry is master of this organization
and is prominent worker in it, Mr..
c. H. Oberllin is another prominent
worker in this organization. Kennedy
Ford is probably the largest grange in
the Washington jurisdiction.
Clinton Grange is a very large one,
and is said to have the largest grange
hall in eastern Washington. The hall
is located six miles southeast of Pull
man. Mr.. j. R. Brown is master of
this grange, and he and his wife are
two of the hardest workers in it.
Other active workers are w. H. Rob-
erts and Haynes Bros.
Seats Grange is located some ten miles
south of Pullman, on Union Flat Mr..
(. r. Young and f. P. Black are
prominent workers in this organiza-
ton, the latter being the present
master. This is one of the strong
oranges of eastern Washington.
Pine Grove Grange is located at AL
bion. 1t is one of the most enterpris-
ing of eastern Washington's oranges.
j. &. Farr and wife, and Mr.. E. V.
Cunningham are mentioned as promi
nent workers in this organization.
Evansville Grange the Pioneer.
Evansville Grange is said to be
the Oldest organization of the kind in
eastern Washington. It's master is
Mr.. j. H. I. Smith. Mr.. and Mrs.
Monroe Bryant have membership in
this grange, and it is very probable
that no other man or woman in eastern
Washington have done more in behalf
OF the grange organizations than these
two, although their work has been
done in an unobstrusive way.
South Palouse Grange is strong or
ganzation. two of its prominent men,
bers being Mr.. A. j. Day and Mr..
Lankey. Martin Madison is master
of Spring Flat Grange, and Homer

TWODENOM|NAT|ONS,O ONE CHURCH
Christian and Methodist Congregations
Listen to Same Sermons.

A commendable state of affairs, and
one that in all probability cannot be
duplicated in the history of Christian
dom, is one that is now existing in
Pullman: namely, the union of the
Christian and Methodist congregations
of this city.
A few weeks ago, the Methodist
congregation found that it was without
a church in which to worship. True,
a magnificent new church was rapidly
being rushed to completion, but the old
one was being torn down, and trans
formed into a residence, wherein
boarders were to be kept. The leaders
in the congregation discussed all man
ner of plans. 1t was proposed to Sc
cure large tent, and hold services
therein; to occupy the skating rink
for purposes of worship; and variety
of other plans were thought of, and
dropped
Congregations are Kept Busy.
Then the pastor Of the Christian
church of Pullman, Rev. Schooling,
came to the rescue of the homeless
congregation. The followers of John
Wesley were invited to join with the
Christian congregation in holding ser
vices on the Sabbath. Rev. Marvin
was to occupy the pulpit when Rev.
Schooling wanted a rest, and vice
versa. Neither congregation was to
have any rest. Thus the matter stands
at present. Professor Fulmer superin-
tends the Methodist Sunday school in
the basement apartment, and on the
floor above him is conducted the Sun
day school of the Christian church,
superintended by Mr. Putnam, all on
the same day, and at the same hour.
Union is Unusual.
The union of the the Methodist and
the Christian congregations in the
manner stated above, would have been
utterly impossible only a few years
ago. In the light of the history of
these two great sects of Christiandom
the union is most unusual, and if ever
the time should come when all denom-
national lines should be obliterated.
and there should exist one great

tlons were more universally favorable.
Fall Grain Doing Well.
Local grain dealers say that this
year there will be not far from three
hundred thousand bushels of grain re-
ceived by Pullman warehouses, which
amount compares we'll with that re-
ceived in former years. In early
spring, moisture conditions were quite
favorable, and the ground worked well;
hence, rather than summerfallow, the
farmers in many instances sowed spring
grain, practically all of the summer
/ AHliON bilaI was bullcu last SedSOH
having been sowed to grain last fall.
Cool weather during the past two
weeks has not been the best for the
spring sowing, but the fall grain,
which is greatly in excess of the spring,
is doing very well.
Prices are Good.
Farmers who have cause to lament
the shortage in crop caused by unfav-
orable weather conditions, will in all
probability at least have the consola-
tion of good prices for the grain they
haul to market. During the present
week, Red Russian is quoted in Pull
man at 70 cents; Club and Fortyfold,
72; and bluestem at "a. Oats in the
warehouse are quoted at $l.lO, and
barley at ST..
Where Our Wheat Goes.
The grain market, in eastern Wash
ington as we'll as in other cerealpro-
ducing regions of the Pacific coast, is
every year becoming more and more
responsive to conditions in the Orient
whittier so much of our cereal produce
goes. The red wheat, so much of
which has been sown in the Palouse
country during the past season, is used

Hall and wife are very active workers.
In the Star Grange, j. W. Haynes,
and the Holbrook family are very active
workers. Sunset Grange, an active
though comparatively small organiza-
tion, is headed by Mr.. H. M. Grange
What the Grange is For
1.-THE purpose of the grange organ
izatIons is to build up a closer rela-
tionship amongst the farmers, and
those engaged in kindred lines of in
dustry," said Mr.. o. E. Young, who
is managing the big celebration at
Lyle's grove. 81 consider that there
is no order among the farmers today
that will build up the social relations
among the farmers like the grange.
There are other orders that will enter
into business affairs to a greater eX-
tent, but none that will help so much
to build up the community at large.
In purchasing such articles as
grain bags, twine, and various other
supplies used by the farmers, We have
been very successful in securing terms
advantageous to the farmers. Anoth-
er thing worthy of note is that we
aim, wherever possible, to patronize
home industry.
There is Harmony
There has been a feeling among
the merchants that the grange organ
izations might tend to be somewhat
antagonistic to their interest. That
feeling, however, is uncalled for, and
| believe that nowadays business firms
are beginning to realize it. The dis
trust of the merchants has been worn
out, as shown by the large premium
lists subscribed by the business men
of Pullman
Many Prizes Given.
Prominent among them is the firm
of A. B. Baker & Co., who gave $41O
in prizes for the dairy contest. In
the Women's Department of the fair,
the Burgan- Emerson Co., of Pullman,
kindly offered to pay all the premiums
in that line. Blackman Bros, the
First National Bank, the Pullman
State Bank and other business houses
of Pullman all showed a cordial inter-
est. AS a matter of fact, the giving
of prizes by the business houses of
Pullman has not encouraged US so
much, possibly, as the hearty interest
and cordial appreciation of the work
which was manifest by every business
man in town, no matter what his line.
They were all willing and anxious
to help.
Addresses by Prominent Men.
On the third day, Saturday, will be
several notable addresses, among which
will be those of candidates for con-
on the Republican ticket, H. M. Boone,
of Whitman county; Lee A. Johnson,
of Yakima county; M. E. Fields, of
Chelan county. One of the prominent
democratic speakers will be Mr.. Will
lam Goodyear. State Master C. B.
Kegley will deliver an address, and
among the speakers from Pullman will
be Rev. Marvin, of the Methodist
Episcopal church.

CuuTCH universal, III lHe opinion OI
local patsors, the church historian who
records the process of change, will not
fail to mention the time that the Chris
tian congregation of Pullman extended
to the Methodist congregation an invi-
tation to worship in the sanctuary of
the former.
Methodists Were Metdodical
Adherents to the Christian church
claim they have no creed that they do
not want denominations: and strive
against every form of denominational-
ism wherever they find it, in the belief
that only one denomination or sect is
authorized by the Holy Bible. and that
one headed by the standards of a
Church universal, -
The organization of the Methodist
church occurred in London more than
century ago, when a few persons,
because of the prevailing necessity for
godliness, as they put it, formed
the habit of meeting regularly and
worshIpping in the way that to them
seemed best. Because Of the method
ical way in which they proceeded, they
were dubbed Methodists' by their
acquaintance. The name has held
good from that day to this. and the
present union in Pullman, is the only
one of the kind of which the local
ministry has ever heard.
A Federated Church.
A state of affairs somewhat similar
to the union existed in Sunnyside a
few years ago, namely, the federated
church" of that city. There, however,
the privileges of any local congrega-
tion were commensurate with the
amount paid by that congregation for
the maintenance of the church that 8,
If the cost of maintaining the church
for one year was one thousand dollars.
the denomination paying half the
amount would be privileged to occupy
the church half the time; and if the
other two congregations divided be-
tween them the expense of the other
half, each of the two would be per-
mitted to hold services in the church
for fourth of the year.
