COPIES OF BOOKLETS

Association to Scatter Pamphlets

Especial Correspondence }

Milton, March 10.-Members of the
joint committee appointed by the
Progressive association of Milton and
the commercial club of Freewater
for the purpose of arranging adver-
tising matter for this part of the
Walla Walla valley, yesterday placed
an order for 10000 copies of hand
somely illustrated 10-page booklet.
The material for this publication has
been carefully selected with the an
ticipation of getting results, and un-
less these results are forth coming
there will be much disappointment
on the part of the committee as well
as among citizens of the two towns.
The order is contracted to be filled
within the next ten days and it is ex-
pected that the booklets will be
ready for distribution at that time.
The committee will distribute copies
Of the illustrated pamphlet in the
various schools of the valley and al
so among those who have friends
that may be interested in this part
Of the great Northwest.
Never before in the history Of the
twin cities, Milton and Freewater
has there been such an apparent
feeling Of good will as now seems to
exist. Residents of both places have
forgotten their grievances and har-
mony seems to prevail from all quar-
ters. The results Of this are already
noticeable in the concentration Of
endeavor to advertise this part of the
Walla Walla valley.
Following the distribution of the
booklets already ordered, the com
mittee proposes to publish another
and smaller leaflet placing in promi-
nence the cheap rates that are being
offered by railroads to settlers com
ing from the east. Beside the book
let idea there are number of other
plans now being formulated whereby
il is expected much good will result
to this part Of the state.

REFUSES TO
INVESTIGATE OFFICIALS

Olympia, March 1O.-By a vote of
% to 90 the senate this morning again
refused to investigate the official acts
of Secretary of State Nichols and In
surance Commissioner Schively. SEN
ators Graves and Spencer led the
fight against investigation. Quoting
from the constitution of the state,
showing that in all cases Of impeach-
ment the indictment must come from
the house, while the senate sits as
judge in the proceedings. This ends
the investigation apparently so far as
the Legislature is concerned. 1t Is
special session at the request of the
people advocating investigation.

DAISY FLY KILLER
BED OF RIVER YIELDS RELICS.

While workmen were removing rock
and debris from the old channel of the
river between the second and third
chutes to make way for the big power
dam on the American side, they I'M
earthed III one of the pot holes in the
rock a remarkable collection of Indian
weapons and other articles, arrowheadS,
sturgeon fshhooks, etc, all made out of
pure copper and hardened to the conslS-
tency of steel.
The articles are bright in appearance
and are of superior workmanship, being
evidently the work of the prehistoric race
which fashioned the mounds, ornaments,
and utensils Of the early days. That
these people possessed the knowledge OF
tempering copper is evident from the
specimens. How they came there is a
mystery, but the general belief is that
n party of Indians, while endeavoring to
land or make a portage, lost control of
their canoe and were swept over the
falls. the canoe being overturned in Che
descent, causing the contents to 60 to the
bottom of the river or be carried down
stream.
Perchance it was party of warriors
returning from battlefelds III Wisconsin
or Michigan with the spoils of war and
rich in copper weapons, these articles
having undoubtedly come from the
places mentioned.
That these articles were together Is
proof that they must have been tied in a
leather sack or some such receptacle
They were found packed together in the
hole which had doubtless been caused by
centuries of swirling waters and gravel

SOURCES OF RADIUM.
Obtained from Pitchblende After the Alb
StraCtiOn of Uranium

Considerable surprise and great inter
est have been caused throughout Eng
land by the discovery in Cornwall of
large quantities of pitchblende, from
which radium is produced, after the ex-
traction Of uranium, says the Boston
Globe. Heretofore the tailings from the
Cornwall mines have been regarded as
useless, but it has recently been found
that the reSiduum is the mother of ra-
dunn.
Pitchblende ore is chiefly obtained in
the Erz-Gebirge, in Bohemia. and so val
liable are the finds that the Austrian
government has prohibited further eX-
portation from that country.
The process of extracting radiUm from
the ore is extremely tedious and eXpen-
sive, tons of pitchblende yielding only
the minutest quantity of the precious
metal, which is theoretically worth $50
100000 Il pound. The tota' world produc-
ton thus far has not equalled one grain,
or 1-4SOth of Il pound. TO be appreciably
cheaper it must be derived from uranium
minerals. when obtainable in large guam
titles from surface deposits. The Corn
ish mines are already fitted with machin-
cry for the treatment of the residuum
as ore. and the company contemplates
the treatment of pitchblende.

War on the Nun Moth.

A crusade was begun recently against
the nun moth, which has caused havoc
among the pines of the Lausnitz moua-
tains, in Saxony. Two big refectors
and an exhaust fan were set up on the
municipal electric light plant of the
city of Zittau. All night long two great
streams of light were thrown on the
wooded mountainsides, about half a mile
away. The moths came fiuttering along
the ribbons of light by the thousands
and were drawn in by the exhaust fan
and destroyed The result of the first
experiment was Twenty-Five kilos OF
dead moths. and besides these, thousands
were destroyed by the arc lights of the
city, from which the globes had beer
removed.

Every Dish of Banquet Made of Potatoes

One of the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that of
the feast to which Franklin, L3voisler
and other distinguished men sat down
as guests OF Parmeltier. Every dish at
this banquet was made of potatoes, and
even the brandy and liquors were the
product of the same vegetable. This was
Parmentier's final proof of his sceptical
fellow countrymen that potatoes were
not poison, as they persisted in believ-
ing. Louis XVI. himself was one of
Parmentier's earliest converts, granted
him land on which to grow his plants,
and did not disdain to wear the potato
flower as buttoniere. Then Parmentier
cleverly posted guards around his potato
fields by day and withdrew them by
night, so that people were tempted to
come then, steal, eat and be convinced.
The all potato banquet was the climax
of the great ampaign.-London Chroni-

Farm Telephones.

In some parts of the country tele-
phones are becoming very common. 1t
seems that once a telephone is estab
Iished in the family it is there to stay
Other sections of the country are very
much behind the times in this respect
probably because no one has gone
ahead with the preliminary arrange
ments.
A farm telephone is not only great
luxury, but it is fast becoming an alb
solute necessity. With the addition of
more business to the farm every year
and the scarcity OF labor anything that
saves steps is worth money. When
you get accustomed to doing business
over the telephone you realize its
great value.
A short time ago l heard g farmer
order 100 bushels Of seed oats by
phone from another farmer about ten
miles away. He had seen a sample
at the fair last fall and made the ne
gotiations accordingly. The business
was transacted in about five minutes
while the farmer was sitting at his
desk after reading his morning mail
left at the box by the rural delivery
man. 1t would have taken him all
day to get his mail and drive to the
other farmer and buy his seed oats.
But there is a social side to farm
life that is fostered by the telephone
1t often happens that a woman is left
alone for the day and she can easily
make arrangements to have a neigh
Dor call and spend the time pleasant
ly, instead of feeling lonely. Then it
is so easy to make social arrangements
for evenings or to meet friends as &C.
casion requires.
There are always people in a neigh
borhood who are public-spirited
enough to go ahead with the necessary
arrangements to establish a telephone
service. Others should encourage them
promptly by subscribing to the fund
required. Everybody is benefited, be-
cause the arrangement is mutual in
the neighborhood. Agricultural

The Boy Told the Truth.

Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court says that it is usually an
easy matter to pick out the truth among
a lot of conflicting evidence. By way of
Illustration he tells the following Incl
dent which took place in little village
near New York:
a house hunter, who had just got off
the train, stepped up to a boy hanging
around the depot, with this salutation:
My lad, l am looking for Mr.. Smith
sons new block of semi-detached houses.
How far are they from here?'
About twenty minutes walk the
boy replied.
"'Twenty minutesr exclaimed the
house hunter. Nonsense! The adver-
tisement says five
"'Well,' said the boy, you can believe
me or you can believe the advertisement,
but l amt tryin' to make a sale. >
