SEATTLE SCHOOL BOARD
WINS VACCINATION FIGHT

Seattle, Oct. 10.-The fight made by
DR.. ]. E. Crichton and DIR. Frank S.
Bourns, commissioner of health and
chief medical inspector, respectively,
of Seattle, for compulsory vaccination
in the public schools has been won,

clared unconstitutional the compulsory
vaccination law

compel the board to allow the boy to
enter school. He stated tonight that
he had not changed his views on the
subject.
Members of the school board stated
that they would not compel wholes ale
vaccination of children unless the nee.
essity should arise.

ACTING GOVERNOR

Olympia, Oct. 9.-SecYetary of State

LLOYD-CEORCE WARNS
LORDS TO KEEP HANDS OFF

London, Oct 11-David Lloyd
George, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, gave an audience to 1000
persons Saturday and received pOpu-
lar welcome, in what he called plain
talk on the subject of the budget.
1--WE are going to send that bill up
to the House of Lords and get all the
taxes or none," said the chancellor.
He did not know what would be the
final action to be taken by poor Lord
Lansdowne, with his creaking old ship
and mutinous crew." but, if the lords
tore up the constitution by interfering
with the money bill, they would force
a revolution.
"The lords may decree revolution,
but the people will direct it, if it is
begun, and issues will be raised that
are now little dreamed of, the an
swers to which will be charged with
peril for the order of things which the
peers represent" said the chancellor.
When Lloyd-George was leaving the
Palace theatre crowd of suffragettes
made dash toward his carriage. Lady
Constance Lytton, who was armed
with Ratchet, Mrs. H. N. Brailsford
and Miss Dawson were arrested. Earl
Ter Saturday four other sympathizers
with the suffragettes were sentenced
to IA days at hard labor for indulging
in a window smashing campaign at the
local Liberal Club.

TEST REFORESTATION TO
CONSERVE WATER SUPPLY

Portland, Or, Oct 1O.-Reforestation
to increase city's water supply is be-
ing tried here Within the next two
weeks one ton of Douglar fir seeds,
capable of growing S0,000,000 big fir
trees, will be planted by the national
forest service. One-third of this seed
will be sOwn in the forest res erve
through which flows Bull Run river,
the source of Portland's water supply,
which starts in the glaciers of Mt
Hood.
This will be undertaken to see if the
water supply of the city can be in
creased by covering bare slopes with
woods. 1t is expected that when the
fir trees have attained a fair growth
the flow of the stream during the dry
season will be doubled. 1t is thought
this will protect the city water supply
for the coming three hundred years at
the present rapid. growth in popula-
ton. The city authorities say that,
with no increase in the flow, the
stream will give abundant water for
Portland during the next half century.
When that period shall have elapsed
they say, the bare hills will be covered
with big fir timber that will conserve
the surplus moisture of the winter and
absorb it like gigantic sponge, giving
it out slowly throughout the dry per-
iods of the year.
The remainder of the seed will be
planted in other portions of the forest
reserves in the State. While the work
Is largely of an experimental nature,
1t is believed much good will result
from it. Strange to say, the work OF
the forest service is handicapped be-
cause of the difficulty in securing the
necessary seed. There are but two
people in the West who are gathering
Douglas fir seed for sale.
The total crop collected by these two
men is bought by the forest service at
from $3.50 to $3.50 per pound, but the
amount is inadequate, and the service
is anxious to interest others in har-
vest ting the seed, and will gladly fur
nish instructions to homesteaders and
others who have an opportunity to
gather it.

Dairy and Food Commissioner

Condensed Milk Industry.

OLYMPIA. Oct. 1O.-The dairy and
food commissioner, replying to re-
quest for information from the COVER
nor, presents some figures showing
rapid growth in the dairying industry
in this State. The areas chiefly de-
voted to dairying are in Whatcom,
Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce,
Thurston, Lewis, Clarke, Wahkiakum,
Spokane, Walla Walla, Kittitas and
Yakima counties. AS this list shows,
the bulk of the dairying business is
carried on in counties west of the Cas-
cades, where the soil and climatic con-
ditions particularly favor dairying op-
erations. Statistics for number of
years show that the dairying industry
has grow in proportion as the logged
off land area has been extended.
The dairy and food commissioner es-
Inmates that the present value of the
dairy products of the State will total
about SIS 100000 per annum, which is
very close to the annual product of
this industry in Oregon.
place in the last five years in the con-
densed milk business, the value of the
product of the condensafies having in
creased from $25O,O00 in 1905 to 49,
100000 this year. This alone is Great
ing a continually increasing demand
for milk, which is resulting in rapid
extension of dairy farms.
The city milk demand is also in
creasing very rapidly, the value of the
milk so consumed amounting to not
less than s3,5OO,OOO annually.
Nearly 100000 pounds of cream
cry butter, valued at about 100000,
are now produced each year in this
State, but this falls very far short of
supplying the demand in the home
markets, as 100000 worth of butter
and other dairy products are shipped
into the State annually. Besides the
local markets, there is continually
increasing demand for dairy products
coming from Alaska.
It is estimated that there are about
10000 mich COWS in the State, repre-
senting total cash value of over 81
100000 The commissioners figures
show that there is over 100000 in
vested in creameries alone in this
State.

uuest for information recently ao-
dressed by Gov. Hay to the state
roin commissioner concerning ths
grain producing sections OF the STARE
that official has submitted some lnlel-
e.stine data on the subject. Accoiu-
mo IN the commits sioner's figures there
are 1895, 900 acres of land in this state
devoted to the production OF cereais
Welding about $4,000 bushels all
fold of which 35,095,O0O bushels IS
wheat. 100000 bushels oats, and o.
1870 600 bushels barley. The average
Weld of the different grains through
ont the State gives wheat, ~ busnets
to the acre. and oats and barley, 6o
hushels each. The average price PAID
for these cereals for the past ten years
has been 60 cents bushel for Wheat'
$40 per Genital for oats, and 81 per
Genital for barley.
Whitman and Lincoln lead all coun-
ties in the area devoted to the produc-
tion of grain, with $4,000 acres each,
Whitman leading in the yield OF wheat
with 100000 bushels, and Lincoln a
close second with 100000 bushels.
Whitman has first place in the pro-
duction of oats, with yield OF 3,oOo'-
600 bushels, and Skagit second Win
a little over half that amount.
The heaviest production OF Darley is
credited to Columbia county, which
shows a yield of 2,24O,OOO bushels,
while Garfield ranks second, with L.
100000 bushels.
The commissioner states that about
one-ouarter of the wheat produced in
Washington is consumed locally and
three-quarters shipped out OF the
State. Of the oats, about one-half is
consumed locally and one-half export
ed while one-fourth of the barley pro-
duced is marketed at home and three
fourths exported About 100000
bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels of
oats and 100000 bushels of barley are
milled in this State annually, the prin-
cipal milling centers being Tacoma,
Seattle, Spokane and Everett.
The average farm unit in the grain
producing sections of the State is
about 375 acres, with, at the present
time, an apparent tendency to in
crease.
