MILLERS AT THE COLLEGE.

The Centennial Milling Co., of Spo-
kane, which has mills at Spokane,
Sprague and Ritzville, has sent six of
its millers to the State College, where
they will remain for a week investi-
eating, under the guidance of the col
lege chemists the milling properties
and values of the various varieties and
grades of wheat sent them for making
into flour. This scientific knowledge
of grains is of the greatest aid to the
miller and the equipment of the coll
lege for demonstrating the science is
so complete that men already at the
head of their profession are anxious to
come here and learn more of the work
of flour making. The gentlemen sent
here by the Centennial Mills are Mes
srs. Rosenberg and Cashat of Spokane
Messrs. Ducher and Nevill of Sprague
and Messrs. Richer and Koeger of
Ritzville.

PRONOUNCED HOG CHOLERA.


For the first time in the history of
the Palouse country, the people are
feeling the ravages of what is pro-
nounced the genuine hog cholera.
which kills thousands of hogs each
year throughout the corn belt of the
middle western states, says the Pa
louise Republic. The disease first ap-
peared about ten days ago, and it is
claimed that more than 100 hogs have
died in this immediate vicinity since
that time.
John Skeen, who lives on the War
rem Averill tract about mile west of
town, has suffered the heaviest loss,
and it was on his place that the dis
ease made it's start. Out of bunch
of 85 hogs Mr.. Skeen lost 73. Thirty
of those died in one day. DR.. S. B.
Nelson of the Washington State Col
lege, state veterinarian, was called
and pronounced the disease the regu-
lar hog cholera. H. j. Dart, whose
farm adjoins that of Skeen, lost IA
head, mostly fat hogs. Mr.. Skeen
gave a hog to his sister, Mrs. Will
Robinson, who lives about four miles
southwest of town, not knowing at
the time that the disease existed. The
disease was thus communicated to the
hogs on the Robinson farm. some 25
dying. Joe Skeen who lives in the
Kamiac neighborhood, is said to have
lost several head, the disease having
been communicated by a number of
hogs from the John Skeen place sent
to his farm to pasture. John Skeen
figures his loss in excess of $1,000.
The disease works quickly, as rule,
many of the hogs dying within a day
from the time the disease is first no.
ticed. DR.. Nelson when here ordered
a number of hogs killed. which showed
signs of the disease. This, he says.
is the only way to combat it.
Many farmers who have had exper-
ience in handling porkers contend that
the disease is the result of eating
something of poisonous nature. Some
think it was caused by feeding the
slops from town. The hogs on the
Skeen place and on the Dart place
have both been fed largely on slops
gathered up about town. If the dis
ease is the regular hog cholera it is
supposed to have been carried by hogs
shipped through here from the east.
Every precaution is being used by
farmers to keep the disease from
spreading.
number Of farmers have given as
their opinion that the malt from the
brewery, which has been fed to the
hogs recently, is responsible for the
trouble.

will be given special attention this
spring, the subcommittee charged
with this duty being Prof. Waller and
j. M. Klemgard.
A cold storage plant and a cooper
ative creamery are questions that are
now under consideration, and some
thing should materialize from them in
the near future, Neill, Harvey and
Nelson constituting a committee that
will investigate and report.
A brass band is also considered a
necessity for Pullman's s proper growth
and advancement, and DR.. Campbell,
chairman of the band committee, has
gone actively at work looking up
every available band man, and reuests
that all who will join such an organi-
zation notify him at once. He wishes
to have the band organized and in
shape to give concerts at the park dur
ing the summer.
The executive committee will hold
weekly meetings. the appointed hour
being Wednesday noon, at the Palace
hotel, at which time a club lunch will
be served for the committee and such
members as will attend, During the
lunch hour the committee will discuss
its plans, listen to reports of sub-com-
mittees, and meet anyone who ha:
propositions to offer the city through
the club.
The regular club meetings are to be
held on the second Tuesday evening in
each month, and as some changes are
to be proposed at the next meeting, a
full attendance is desired.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

Mrs. Baymiller, president of the
local W.C.T.U., in a report of the
work of the Union during the past
year, published in the East Washing
ton White Ribboner, tells the follow
ing interesting story of the year S work
in Pullman:
son May IA, 1907, the Pullman w.
C.T.U. opened free reading room as
an experiment., employing lady at
tendant for six months. 1t proved to
be great success, and on November
1st we found it necessary to enlarge
our quarters. We moved to a new
room opposite the postoffice, and in
addition to our reading room we opened
a woman's rest room. For this pur-
pose we had to build an addition to the
reading room, and for which we pay
no rent. Our rooms and attendant cost
us $50 per month, besides incidentals,
but we have felt amply repaid by see
ing so many students and working men
availing themselves of it's advantage
es, instead of loafing in the saloons.
Sometimes thirty or forty visit the
room in one day. We furnish them
with writing materials. We do not
allow tobacco, card playing or un-
wholesome language, but maintain a
strictly moral atmosphere.
On October II we procured 40x70
'aoernacle and opened campaign of
education for the coming city election.
We continued the meetings ten days,
interest increasing all the time. The
last night the tent would not hold more
'nan two-thirds of the people. although
'ney were packed in like sardines.
We employed the best temperance
speakers we could get IN the state,
among whom are Superintendent of
Tue Anti-Saloon League Cherrington of
seattle and Herwig of Spokane; Car
VOonlst Braden, Spokane; Kev. Powell.

lhis meeting cost US $100. but as
'eSult OF 1t and the united efforts of
al the temperance people, the saloons
were voted out of Pullman.
On election day we served chick

The people of Illinois know there Is
going to be a National Corn show, know
1t will be held in Omaha and they are going
to attend in large numbers said e. d.
Funk of Shirley, ILL.,, at the Paxton. Mr..
Funk is president of the National Corn
association and came to Omaha to spend
two days comforting with Manager Jones
and others in regard to final plans for the
Installing and judging of the exhibits.
IAN over my state" said Mr.. Funk,
Il meet persons who say, Where is the
national show to be held-at Omaha, isn't it,
.hus asking and answering the question
1t the same time. 1t shows they have
heard all about it and a great many are
llready making preparations to be here.
"In many sections Of Illinois, Indiana and
Their states east, parties are being formed

Z these parties will be made up II assur-
noes are received from the railroads that

Q officials OF the Corn exposition are by
40 means giving out the impression that
there is a dearth OF hotel facilities in
Omaha, but Mr.. Funk declared that he has
found I'm many localities in the east
ern states large parties who will come to
the show II they can be together"
All the exhibits must be installed and
judged prior to the opening OF the ex-
position. There will be from 5000 10

grains and grasses. The cars which will
gather up these exhibits from the state
and local contests win arrive here about
December 2, allowing only one week for
installing and judging. A large force OF
judges will be required, probably seventy
five, and they are now being selected.
Mr.. Funk was busled while here with
conferences looking toward the plans for
the agricultural congress. which viii occupy

FITCH LETTER MET DELAY
Lost Missive from Missing Man Not
Posted Until Two Days Had
Elapsed After Writing.

Search for Edward p. Fitch. tine Council
Bluffs man who suddenly disappeared
While enroute to London from Paris. has
developed one new fact-that the letter
which he wrote on a train between Dover
and the metropolis after leaving the chan
mel boat. and gave to an acquaintance to
post, was not mailed until two days after
Fitch had written 1t.
The unknown train acquaintance to whom
he entrusted the lUissive probably carried
It in a pocket for forty-eight hours before
putting it in a mail box. This unfortunately
not very significant fact is all that has
been CLEANED by a search which has en-
listed the aid Of the State departments of
Great Britain and the United States and
London police. Congressman Walter l.,
Smith has received a cable from Ambassa-
dor Reid saying that a search of every hos
pital in London has failed to disclose the
missing man. The hospitals have been an
objective point in the search because his
letter stated that he intended to go to
such an institution to be operated on for
appendicitis.
one guess is that he became so III on
the train that he was removed at an inter-
mediate point. This does not seem likely,
however, because the run from Dover to
London Is not long.
