Use Uome-NIade Goods.

Furniture for the new high school
will probably be constructed in North
Yakima by local cabinet makers, says
the Republic. 1t is believed that bet
ter results can be procured in this
way, under less expenditure, than by
arranging with eastern manufactur-
ers to supply the needed furniture
for the science, geographical, manual
training and other departments. Fred
erick Heath. architect who designed
the furniture for the Tacoma high
school and who, to that end, made an
extensive tour in the east, collecting
data, photographs and other material
will design the furniture needed for
the new building here. City Super
intendent of Schools Reed in Tacoma
this summer made a study Of the fur
nishings of the high school building
there, found out how they were pro-
cured, learned that they had been es-
peclally prepared for the building by
home workmen at a reduced cost
from the eastern prices and believed
the plan good one to follow here.
Nj. Heath will come to North Yak
ina in a day or two to procure meas
urements. etc, for his designs.

FOR NEW BRIDGE
ON Lee STREET
WILL BUILD STRUCTURE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
County Court and Chairman of City
Street Committee Discuss Jointly
Owned Span Across Umatilla River
Bridge Now Open to Light Traf-
fic But Wheat Hauling Forbid
Council VIII Take Up Matter.

Plans for a new bridge across the
Umatilla river at Lee street were dis
cussed this morning by the county
commissioners and Chairman V. Stro-
BILE of the street committee of the
Pendleton city council, and it was
practically decided that the present
structure should be replaced as early
as possible, work tc commence as
soon as the proper arrangements
could be made.
The present condition of the bridge
makes the improvement imperative.
While it may be used for light traf-
fic, use for grain transportation is
out of the question.
Mr.. Stroble, after the conference,
announced that he would take the
matter up with the council at once
and that it would be possible in all
probability to take definite steps to-
ward construction at the next term
of the county court.
In case of no delays in the action
of city or county, 1t is not believed
that the bridge will be ready for use
before next July, as the commission
ers believe they will get better work
and cheaper II they make no attempt
to rush the work any more than is
necessary to secure the bridge for use
during the next harvest time.

GROWING WHEAT
WITH ELECTRICITY
New Experiment in Realm OF Sclen-
tlfic Agriculture.

Growing wheat and other crops
with the aid OF electricity is being
done In England as a matter OF ex-
pertinent. The tests have been sue
cessful on a small scale.
The method is to stretch over the
field to be treated a number OF wires
on poles, something like low tele-
graph wires, but high enough for
loaded wagons and all the usual farm
ing operations to go on underneath
the wires without let or hindrance.
The wires are quite thin and are sup
ported by a few posts in long, paral-
lei spans about 80 feet apart. They
are supported on the posts by elabo-
rate hlgh-tension insulators. and they
extend over all the acreage under ex-
pertinent, a control plot Of similar
land under similar conditions being,
Of course, left without any wires.
The system Of conductors Is then
connected at one post with the gen.
orator supplying positive electricity at
a potential OF something like 100000
volts, and with sufficient power to
maintain a constant supply of cleo
trlclty OF this kind of potential. Leak

SOLDIERS ON PRACTICE MARCH,
Rumor of Troops Coming TO ReserVa-

Rumor of Troops Coming 10 Reserva-

The passing of a troop OF cavalry
from the Walla Walla post through
Milton Thursday gave rise to the ru-
NOR that the soldiers were on their
way to the Umatilla reservation
where, It is alleged, they were to en-
force the laws and make the Indians
properly dip their horses.
The prevalence of scab among the
cayuses on the reservation is was
said, had become a menace and the
government authorities had deter
mined to use drastic measures II ne
cessary to wipe out the evil.
At the local office of the Bureau oi
Animal Industry, however, the report
was denied completely, the Officials
stating that no such action had beer
undertaken. Further investigation
showed that the troop in question wa'
simply out on a practice march.
