Prof. Elliott was in Rosalia last
week on appointment to meet num-
Der of men connected with the com
mercial club and prominent farmers to
discuss the question of the establish
ment of a model farm. Details are
not yet complete, but the use of a
small tract of land has been donated
for three years. This will be com
bined truck and dairy farm. An east
ern man will be in charge. 1t will be
the purpose of this farm to teach that
truck farming can be made a profitable
occupation in the Palouse region. A
number of similar farms are contem-
plated.

ALCOHOL
Local Commercial Club Will Pur-
chase Still and Manufacture
Denatured Alcohol.

The newly organized commercial
club of Pullman is now perfecting ar
rangements for the installation of a
denatured alcohol plant in this city.
President Bryan, chairman of the com
mittee on denatured alcohol, is con-
Quoting the negotiations for the pur-
chase of large "still," and if the
plans of the organization are carried
kDut, the plant will be in operation by
the time next seasons potato crop is
taken from the field. Discussing the
prospects for denatured alcohol, Presi-
dent Bryan said:
For the past year the state exper-
iment station has had in hand the
matter of gathering information rela-
tive to the potato crop of both eastern
and western Washington. and the
practicability of utilizing this import
ant crop in the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol. Careful analyses have
been made to determine the amount of
alcohol that potatoes of this region
will yield. We have found that one
hundred pounds of alcohol will produce
eighteen pounds of starch that eighteen
pounds of starch will produce nine
pounds of alcohol, which, l believe,
sells at from Scots to 55cts per gallon.
AT this rate, the alcohol from one ton
of potatoes would sell for about $18.
"Alcohol can be made from the
small potatoes as we'll as the large
ones, and in this fact lies source of
considerable saving to the farmers.
Also, waste fruit can be used, and
considerable success has been reported
from the use of corn, and even the
stalks. This denatured alcohol in
dustry should be taken seriously by
the farmers and business men of the
northwest, for it means the utilization
in profitable way of vast amount
of produce, such as small potatoes, off
grade wheat, waste fruits, ETC.. which
are now source of dead loss

FORESTRY AT THE COLLEGE.

The classes in forestry at the State
College have been investigating the
different shade and ornamental trees
which within the past fifteen years
have grown to maturity on the state
experiment station farm. with a view
to determining which are best suited
to the conditions of soil and climate
found in the Pacific Northwest. The
summarization of the results of this
investigation are stated by President
Bryan as follows:
eve found that the Royal Oak,
planted fifteen years ago, added about
an inch to its diameter the first year,
and is now thirty feet in height. A
bushel of acorns have recently been
taken from this tree. The Flowerng
Ash has proved to be one of the finest
of all the shade and ornamental trees
on the campus. Trees of this kind
planted fifteen years ago are now ten
or twelve inches in diameter. The
tree is noticeable by its beautiful. dark
green foliage, tapering pole. and
smooth, beautiful skin. The limbs are
strong and compact, and the tree is not
injured by the winds, this rendering it
adaptible in a peculiar degree to a
prairie region.
"Our English Maple has all the vir-
tues of the eastern sugar maple, and
is much better adapted to this climate
than the eastern variety. We find
that trees of this variety are now eight
inches in diameter. while neighbor-
ing sugar maple of the same age is
but two inches thick. A curious fact
is that the corresponding European
variety does better than the American
variety, even though it be native here.
This is also noticeable in the case of
the larch or tamarack, and the noun
tain ash.
1.-The beautiful Oregon maple with
its broad leaves Is just a little too
tender for our climate, and grows
rather as bush than a tree. The
catalpa is successful, hardy, and capa-

Steele Herald: Last Friday evening
about fifteen republicans from Steele
went down TO Dawson to attend an In.
formal meeting which was held at
that place for the purpose Of discussing
the political situation aud the crop Of
avowed and probable candidates. The
meeting was held in the capacioul
dining-room at the Sibley, and there
we're probably forty republicans, chiefly
from the east and west sides Of the
county, present. DR.. Pryse, OF Daw-
son, was chosen as president Of the
meeting, and Carl Adams, of Steele,
was chosen secretary. No particular
campaign issues were taken up, the
time being wholly devoted to the con-
temptation OF the various aspirants
who will SHY their castors into the po-
litical arena. A motion that every re-
publican present pledge his vote and
his hearty support to the candidacy OF
w. B. Tuttle, OF Dawson, for repre-
sentative from the district, was carried
enthusiastically and unanimously.
