MORE LIVE STOCK
More Pure Bred Stock for
College Farm

Professor w. T. Mcdonald, head of
the department of animal husbandry
in Washington State College, leaves
to-day for Portland and the William
cite valley in Oregon, to buy more
live stock for the college farm. He
will visit the Ladd farm near Port
land and buy several head of Jersey
COWS for the dairy herd. The Ladd
herd Is one of the best in the
United States and contains prize
winning COW, which produced 945.-
As pounds of butter fat, making more
than 900 pounds of butter last year.
Professor Mcdonald hopes to get
some of this prize winning strain
for his herd at the college farm.
Polled Angus, Hereford and Short
horn cattle. Berkshire, Poland
China and Duroc Jersey swine, and
several breeds of sheep are to be
bought and the live stock on the
farm is to be greatly improved as
we'll as increased in number Pro-
fessor Mcdonald will visit the Jack
son sheep farm near Dayton for the
purpose of getting some Rambouillet
sheep from Mr.. Jackson's herd. Mr..
Jackson is president of the American
Rambouillet Association and has
what is said to be the finest herd of
this breed of sheep in the United
States. The college already has some
of his stock and wants more. The
Rambouillet pronounced 'Rambo-
lay is a Merino type of fine wool
sheep, but is larger and has better
mutton carcas than the common Me-
rno sheep.
1t is Professor McDonald's inten-
ton to import some pure bred sheep
from England and these will make a
valuable addition to the college farm
flock. 1t may seem strange, but pure
bred sheep can be bought in Eng
land and brought here for about the
same price as native sheep can be
bought.

SUES GRAY FOR BIG SUM
". II. Clemens, of Moscow, Asks S16,-
$50 Damages from Nj. G.
Gray, of Pullman

M. G. Gray, eX-Mayor of Pullman
and one of the best known horse
dealers in the northwest, has been
made defendant in q suit for S16.-
25O filed by w. r. Clemans, an
equally well known horse dealer of
Moscow, Idaho. The suit has been
filed in the court at Moscow, where
Clemans lives and is engaged in i'm
porting and selling horses.
y 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Gray and many other dealers in
horses claimed that they had been
swindled by quartet of Idaho farm
chs who bought horses from them,
paying high prices and giving their
notes for the purchasing price Gle
mans was alleged to be the "go-be-
tween who negotiated the deals and
in every case complained of, Gle
mans got big, fat and juicy com
mission in cash. Mr.. Gray claims
to have sold two horses to the quar-
tet for $4,000 and to have paid Gle
mans $1,500 for negotiating the deal
He had Clemans arrested for fraud
or obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and the case was tried at Col
fax.
The case was decided in favor of
Clemans, who was discharged from
custody. The state claimed that it
was handicapped by not having wit
nesses who had promised to come
from Idaho to testify, but could not
be compelled to come across the
state line and refused to appear at
court and testify against Clemans.
With this handicap the prosecution
could not prove it's case and had to
consent to a dismissal but the grand
jury took it up and returned in
dictments against Clemans and he
will be tried on the same charge in
other cases where he is alleged to
have defrauded many horse men.
A special dispatch from Moscow
to a Spokane paper contains the fol-
lowing account of the filing of the
suit against Mr.. Gray:
wv. r. Clemans, the horse dealer
residing here and the partner of E. c.
Lloyd, to-day filed complaint
against NJ. C. Gray of Pullman
through his attorneys, Forney &
Moore, and asks the court to allow
him damages to the sum of $16,250
and costs of the trial to be paid by
Gray. Clemans asks $1,000 for men
tai anguish caused by the charges
made against him recently by Mr..
Gray and another $4,000 is asked for
because of the injury done to the
reputation of Clemans. The other
$4,000 is for the loss to Clemans
of the business that he would have
| been able to have done this season
| had the said Gray not filed suit
against him and made the charges
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The $3.50 is the cost to
Clemans of defending himself in the
suit that was brought by Gray and
dismissed by the court of Whitman
county during the March term"

Mr.. Price was II cents, which in
.cludes all expenses to date. He
could take $1.00 per bushel for the
lot, or a total Of $4,000 ner profit if
he were to sell the wheat to-day. AS
this is several times the total ex-
penses of the trip of Mr.. and Mrs.
Price and the baby in their tour of
four months duration, Harry was
naturally happy when he reached
Pullman Wednesday and the smile
with which he always greets his
friends was noticeably broadened
as he shook hands with Pullman peo-
pie, and asked "how's crops?"
Mr.. Price has complete corner
on visible wheat in this part of
the Palouse country. Outside of his
holdings it is said there is scarcely
a carload of wheat in this neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Price now hesitates about
selling his wheat. Many of his
friends predict that the price will ad-
vance from present quotations, while
others urge him to sell. 1t is doubt
full if the price goes lower and if he
sells now he will have cleaned up
snug little sum for his Investment
and far sightedness.
I'VE had bully trip" said Mr..
Price, on his return. We visited a
great many points of interest and
thoroughly enjoyed the winter We
have come back to Pullman to settle
down for the summer season. at least
and will be at home here for several
months"

POPULAR PASTOR LEAVES
Rev. l.. j. Schooling Resigns as Pastor
of the Christian Church.
Resolutions


Resolutions
Last Monday Rev. L. p. Schooling
who for the past year and a half has
been pastor at the Christian church
of Pullman, said goodbye to a host
of friends at the o. r. e. n. depot
We understand that Mr.. Schooling
is to spend a few weeks in Alberta
after which he takes charge of the
Christian church at Anaconda, Mon
tana
On Saturday night a reception was
rendered this retiring pastor in the
basement of the Christian church
though it was in no sense an exclu-
siye affair Of the church which Mr.
Schooling has been serving. The
rooms were tastefully decorated for
the ocassion; in the receiving line
was the Rev. NJ II. Marvin, pastor
of the Methodist church, as we'll as
the representative of the several or
CARNATIONS of the Christian church.
The basement was crowded to the
limit, a very large proportion being
young men and young women. No
man could wish more hearty tribute
of esteem than the presence of this
gathering conveyed.
Brief addresses were made by four
of the local ministers The Young
Peoples Societies of the several
churches were represented by
speech from each one. The Sunday
school work of the city, the county
anti-saloon league, the Monday night
club had each one of their delegates
to voice something of the warmth of
appreciation in which Mr.. Schooling
is held.
From the ten or twelve speeches
made we gather that Mr.. Schooling
as president of the county anti-sa-
loon league has been a very potent
factor in the gripping of the saloon
power in Whitman county. AS teach
or of a large Scientific Bible Study"
class he has contributed a wealth of
sentiment in favor of a more philo-
sophical and spiritual Interpretation
of the Bible; as minister of the
gospel he has advanced the interests
of church unity and Christian fellow
ship in Pullman always standing for
the Christian type as against the
narrow dogmatist, Himself a gradu-
ate of Chicago university, he has re-
presented in large degree the Gull
tured scholarly preacher who is in
demand in our day.
His departure will leave a gap not
easily filled. The community suffers
a distinct loss in his removal. 1t is
no reflection on the other ministers
to say that few men have brought
to Pullman richer qualities of mind
or heart or have contributed in a
brief eighteen months such breadth
of vision in divine things, such prac-
tical adoption to the real needs of
human lives, as Mr.. Schooling
A large number of people will re-
greet Mr.. Schooling's departure from
Pullman and will follow his career
with deep interest. Pullman's loss
is Anaconda's gain.
The Pullman ministerial associa-
ton passed some strong resolutions
commencing the work of Rev. Mr..
Schooling while in Pullman, but
space will not permit these being
used this week.

LAND PRICES BOOMING
Farmers Refuse To Sell Lands at
Present Prices. High Offers
Turned Down

The price of farm land is climbing
skywards and farmers are withdraw
ing their lands from the market.
Wheat prices are steadily advancing
and reports of crop shortages in many
of the worlds greatest wheat pro-
ducing countries tend to advance
the price of that cereal and insure
high prices for the new crop. Lon
don and Liverpool report wheat
prices higher than they have been
in quarter of a century and export
ers are skirmishing around to get
wheat to fill orders Local prices
are lowering around the dollar mark
and predictions are made that the
price for 1909 will average much
higher than that for 1908.
All of these things tend to increase
farm land values and induce the
owner of a good wheat farm in the
best wheat producing country on
earth. to hesitate long before letting
go of it. In consequence it is diff
ficult to buy a good farm now. A
number of farms near Pullman which
had been listed at what were believed
to be high prices, have been with
drawn from the market.
]. Il. Stookey, who bought one of
the Burrel ranches from the Pull
man Land Company last pear for SAB
an acre, refused $4,000 cash, for his
bargain and he got about $500 worth
of wheat from last years crop. Mr..
Stookey had the land listed with the
Pullman Land Company for $55 per
acre, an advance of S12 per acre or
S4,044 more than he had paid for the
farm, and when a prospective buyer
began to talk of taking it, Mr.
Stookey withdrew it from the mar
ket. F. NJ. Slagle of the Palouse
Country Improvement Company, who
bought 500 acres of the Burrel land
last year for $43.50 an acre, said; 81
would not take $50 an acre for the
ranch to-day" That is an advance
of $3.50 per acre, or $4,000 more
than was paid for the land less than
year ago
Tuesday Billy" Frazier came VI
from Colfax to visit his farm. While
here he was offered and refused SIS
per acre for the land. He has 500
acres, adjoining the Atherton ranch
two miles south of Pullman. Mr. Fra,
zier had offered to take SIS per acre
and allow 81 per acre for commits
sion, but when offered that price he
declined to take IL and later refused
SIS per acre, net, and withdrew il
from the market. Another farm be
tween Pullman and Johnson, which
has been offered for SOS per acre has
been withdrawn from the market ant
will not be offered for sale.
Farmers who have sold their uanJ
in this country have generally re
turned and bought other lands a
higher prices than they received anC
have learned, after spending tim'
and money In looking around for
better location that 1t cannot b.
found and this is having a tendenc,
TO make land owners more careful
about offering their lands for sale.
