John Andrew, who used to run the

chased farm in the south part of Akra
township of 800 acres and has moved
there with his family. Mr.. \. is good
farmer and good citizen and we regret
to lose MIN from these parts. He tells us
that coming in from there last Monday
that he had rather strenuous time on
account of the severe dust storm. He
and his wife got as far as Hamilton in a
buggy before the storm got bad, but his
young son who was driving another
team attached to wagon with hay
rack, was some distance behind. The
wind got so strong that it began to lift
the rack from the wagon, so the boy
went and stood on the corner to hold it
down, but the wind picked him and the
rack up, turned it over, dropped the boy
in the ditch and the rack flew over in
the middle of the field. The horses ran
on to Hamilton and were stopped there.
No damage was done except some minor
breaks to the rack

RECEPTION TO
NEW MEMBERS
ahhual Event of College Faculty
Held Tuesday Night Has
Some Novel Features

FOR many years 1t has been the
practice of the faculty of Washing
ton state College to hold a recep
tion to the new members soon after
Schooi opens in the fall. The re-
ception last fall was a little later
than usual but was none the less in
teresting. 1t was held in Stevens
nall Tuesday evening and was At
Iehded by all the members of the
iacuity The receiving line stood at
the mead of the stairs on the first
landing, in the large hall devoted to
such occasions. Those in line were
Professor Herbert Kimbrough. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Bryan, Dean and Mrs
runner, Professor and Mrs. Waller.
Miss MacKay and Mrs. Barry.
About $50 were present. These
included the members of the faculty
and their wives A notable feature
was the number Of brides in the list
of guests. These are Mrs. Cav, Mrs.
Collette, Mrs. A. f.. Evans, Mrs. f.
o. Kreager, Mrs. w. C. Kruegel
MRS. M. X. Akers and Mrs. j. II. Mat
lock. All of the brides were accom-
panied by their husbands, of course.
out the husband of bride Is usually
pretty small potatoes" and attracts
but little attention and interest.
There has never been a time when
there were SO many brides among
the faculty crowd as at the present
time, for matrimony seems to have
run riot" among the younger MEM
bers of the faculty this year.
Professor Kimbrough and Mrs.
hurla Strong rendered some excel
lent instrumental and vocal selec-
tons, and dainty refreshments were
served. A novel feature of the de-
corations was the prevalence of
1ack-o Lanterns" made from small
pumpkins, in honor of the nearness
of Halloween. These, with autumn
leaves, formed beautiful and unique
decorations for the reception halls.

HIGH VALUE OF HOGS

Tuesday northbound train on the
Northern Pacific carried eight and q
half carloads of fat hogs and one
and a half carloads of fat cattle
bound for the Seattle markets. The
stock came from Camas Prairie, Ida
no, and represented at least $13,-
900 in actual cash.
The price of hogs has declined to
about seven cents, i've weight. q de
cline of two cents from the highest
price paid this season; which was
the highest ever paid in the Pa
louise country. A few years ago a
carload of hogs was worth about
$500. This season carloads have
been shipped from the Palouse coun-
try and brought the shippers $500.
Last week n. y. Carroll. OF Colfax
shipped two carloads which brought
$685.. or more than $1,000 each.
This was at seven cents a pound
which farmers now call a low price
although il was the highest price
paid for hogs In this country until
a short time ago. when they adyanc-
ed TO nine cents. which price was
paid for a few days ago. only Al
Portland the best hogs are bringing
eight cents per pound. live weight
Farmers who have cheap hog feed
are due TO make some big profits
from their hogs this fall.
