As History Might Be Taught.

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has
apparently not appealed to them. A
good newspaper, if the teacher
knows how to interpret its daily rec
ord, may stimulate an interest IN
history itself. If the pupil can be
taught the continuity and relation Of
events, an awakened interest in the
daily happenings will arouse de-
sire to trace them back through pre-
ceding stages. 1t is the break in
continuity between the past and the
immediate present that deadens en-
thusiasm. By studying history
backward from the immediate pres
ent this chasm would be bridged
and the passion for tracing to cause
stimulated.-Bo Transcript.

DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS.

tract and XIII Thousands.
One of the keepers who came ashore
from Boon Island recently tells the
story Of the strange death encOun-
tered by thousands of the migrat-
ing birds every spring. Flying along
the coast at night they are instantly
attracted by the powerful light from
the watch tower, as moths are drawn
to a candle. Thousands of these
Dlrds in their passage north fly with
full force against the thick glass or
the brilliantly lighted lantern.
Stunned to death they fall to the
rocks below or scale away for lit
tie distance and flutter helplessly in
to the water The light of morning
sometimes reveals the rocks covered
with the little creatures whose jour-
ney to their summer homes has met
this sudden and fatal termination.
Hundreds of species are found
among the unfortunate little tour
lists. Most of them are easily rec
ognized as belonging to the various
common classes of song birds. But
very often large birds of beautiful
plumage come to their final resting
place in this manner upon the bleak
rocks, Of Boon Island. On one occa-
sion several years ago the thick
glass of the lantern was shivered to
atoms by the impact of some strange
bird of powerful bill.-York Tran

HAY PRICES ADVANCING

Frank Hungate is preparing to
bale rs tons of grain hay which will
be sold for shipment. Offers of $14
per ton for grain hay are now being
made and it is believed that the
price will go higher. There is a
scarcity of all kinds of hay this year
and high prices are looked for. The
sale of 10000 tons of timothy hay
from eastern Washington to the fed
eral government for shipment to the
PHILIPPINE Islands recently, has awak-
ened big demand for timothy and
other hay is keeping pace in the up
ward advance. Alfalfa is in demand
and it is expected the price will go
to $15 or more per ton before spring.
Grain hay is scarcer than usual, sow-
ing to the high price of grain, which
prevented farmers from cutting the
grain for hay. Had it not been for
the grain knocked down by the July
rains being cut for hay there would
have been big shortage of grain
hay this year.

Disapproves Attack of Pull

Il saw one of the funniest things
| ever saw in newspaper the other
day, said George McCroskey, the
wealthy farmer, who owns $50 acres
adjoining Pullman. Il read in the
Pullman News a criticism of the news
sent from Pullman to The Spokes-

from this country while up there and
they bought The Spokesman-Reyiew
when they could get it and were any
ious to know if rain had fallen hers
Il can understand the attitude of
the News editor, looking at it from
is standpoint, but he should remem-
Der that The SpokesmanrReYie does
not circulate only in a little scope of
country around Pullman, but circu-
lates throughout the northwest and /
cannot think of anything of greater

land Empire than the reports of the

taken the Spokesman-Review for

it, for it gives the news from all

kind of news we want to read"
| Mr.. McCroskey has just returned
I from an extensive tour of observa-
| ton through British Columbia. He
, left Seattle and travelled to Ed
monitor, Alberta, and returned via
| Spokane. He said: 81 did not do

THE FARMERS ARE
TAKING A HAND
Local OPTION Election Awakening
Great Interest Among the Rural
Population

Members of the Farmers Union
and the Grange are taking an active
part in the campaign to dispense wi til
saloons in Whitman county. AS re-
ported exclusively in The Herald
last week, the farmers in-the country
south of Colfax are signing an agree
ment to not trade in Colfax if the
saloons are retained there This has
stirred up much interest among the
merchants of the towns which have
saloons, and an equal interest among
the merchants in the dry" towns. If
.COlfaX votes to retain saloons ii
means that Pullman will get a big
lot of trade that is now going to Col
fax and once this trade is captured
by Pullman merchants it is certain
that ColfaX will never be able to re-
gain it.
Word comes from Palouse that the
same conditions exist there. Farm
ers are signing the petitions, or
pledges by which they agreed to not
trade in Palouse if saloons are re-
tanned there. A prominent member
of both the Grange and the Farmers
Union in letter to Pullman friend
writes: The merchants of Palouse
are crying boycott Not so. Our
organizations declare for better m oral
and social conditions which are inn
possible so long as the merchants and
business men work and vote to re-
tain these moral pest houses. Our
farmers are not only sngning the pc
titionS and pledges asking our mer-
chants to use their influences for a
dry Palouse,' but they are pledging
themselves in writing to trade in
towns where the conditions are right.
We will use our influence to have
our people throw their trade to towns
where merchants throw their in
tluence on the side of moral and So
cial conditions that are right. 1t is
but little further for the farmers
of this vicinity to go to Pullman or
Garfield, both of which are good,
moral towns and where the amer
chants are in sympathy with the prin,
ciples of the Grange and the Farm
ers' Union, both of which declare
in no uncertain terms, against the
saloon, the liquor traffic in every
form, and against all kinds of i'm
morality.
