GREAT CHANCE FOR DISPLAY
Spokane Representative Tells Yakima
How it Can Demonstrate the Value
it Places on Irrigation.

John S. Hughes, field representa-
tive of the board of control of the
Seventeenth National Irrigation Con-
gress, which meets in Spokane, Au-
gust GA, is spending day or two
in this city for the purpose of pro-
noting interest in the National Irriga-
ton Congress.
Mr.. Hughes is anxious that Yaki-
ma shall not only send large dele
cation to the congress, but shall send
band and a large marching club to
represent this city in the march of the
Irrigation and Industrial army. Mr..
Hughes said:
Chances for Yakima.
"It is also desired that you be rep
resented in the Parade of Progress
which is to trace the development of
the Northwest from the days of sava-
gerry to the civilization of the present
day In this way the great progress
of this section will be impressed upon
the many visitors and delegates from
the east. In fact, in this way as in no
other, can the irrigated districts and
communities be individualized at this
congress.
Preparations for the congress are
going forward rapidly The officers
have sent the official call to COVER
nors, mayors, and public bodies all
over the United States. Invitations to
participate in the congress have al
ready been sent to foreign countries
and many have replied favorably.
President Taft and several members
of his cabinet are expected to attend.
Jones to be Speaker.
Senators Cummins of Iowa and
Jones of Washington are expected to
make addresses. Also James J. Hill
of the Great Northern, President
Howard Elliott of the Northern Paci-
fic, and President A. ]. Earring of the
C. NJ. & st. r. r., f. H. Hartman
of the Union Pacific writes that he
will come if he finds it possible at that
time.

so be given by H. F. Newell, chief of
the reclamation service; NJ. o. Leigh

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy. especially for enlarged pros
tfate gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. e. Morris,
Dexter, KY, writes: up to a year
ago my father suffered from kidney
and bladder trouble and several ply
sicians pronounced it enlargement of
the PROSTATE gland and advised an
operation. On account of his age
we were afraid he could not stand it

convention week will be a parade
symbolical of the development of the
| Northwest, showing the various stages
from .tavagery to the present high
covering state of civilization. We'd
nesday evening will be devoted to the
Illuminated Parade of Progress, COW
ering features additional to the de-
velopment of the Northwest. Thurs
day afternoon will be devoted to the
March of the Irrigation and Indus
trial army and will be the great par
ade of the week.
Delegations From Many Sections.
81 have just returned from a trip
through eastern Oregon and southern
Idaho and have been delighted with
the interest manifested in those dis
tant sections. Despite the large ex-
pense delegates will be put to from
thees places. l believe we shall have
200 delegates from the towns | visited
Caldwell, Ontario and Weiser are
planning to bring bands as well as
marching clubs. Eastern oregon will
be represented by bands from La
Grande and Milton, together with
large delegations from these points,
as well as from Pendleton, Freewater,
and Baker City.
Other Examples of Interest.
From Walla Walla is expected a
special train, carrying a delegation
of 500 together with the band. Lew
iston, Idaho will also be largely rep
resented, coming probably by spec
ial train and bringing their band with
them. Chicago will come, two spec
ial trains bearing delegates and WISH
tors. Worcester, Mass, is planning
a 5000 mile excursion to take in the
Irrigation congress and the A.-Y.-P.
exposition. These are but samples of
the interest indicated and crowds ex-
pected.
Demonstration Farm.
zone feature of special interest to
those interested in the practical side
Of irrigation is the demonstration
plat of twenty acres on the outskirts
of Spokane. Here will be shown the
many methods of irrigation, indicat-
ing the value Of each method.
Perhaps one of the greatest fea-
lures of the congress to the Northwest
is the opportunity which it presents
for advertising this whole section.
Spokane has no wish to monopolize
its advertising features. On the other
hand she desires to share these ad-
vantages with every irrigation district
of this section. She does not merely
invite your attendance. She asks you
to bring a float, to bring your band,
and to bring a large marching club;
thus, calling attention to your COM
munity and its really splendid advan-
tages.
Should Seize Opportunity.
'This is your opportunity AMI you
should seize it. In fact, you Simply
cannot afford to neglect it. You can
not afford not to be represented in
every parade in a way adequate to
your standing and worth as a CITY,"
Mr.. Hughes expects to be in our
midst but a day or two meeting our
representative, men and hopes that
the interest already indicated by CDR
respondence will crystalize into enthu-
sastic action.

ing with st. Vitus's dance, which
was named after SiicIan youth who
suffered martyrdom under Diocletian
IN BOB. DIR. A. Il. Shipley, the dis
tinguished lecturer at Cambridge
University, has decided that the
British suffragettes are afflicted with
the singular malady known as Tarau-
tism. This was at its greatest height
in the seventeenth century, long after
the disappearance of the st. Vitus's
dance of Northern Europe, and severe
cases we're marked by bowling,
screaming aud jumping, as we'll IS
by the persistent, monotonous and
rhythmical utterance of a word or a
short sentence. 10 this mania, like
the others, females we're much more
liable than males. Another striking
feature of Tarantsm was a strong
preference for certain oolors or com
bination of colors, and this peculiar
ity seems to identify positively the
disorder affecting the sutfragettes.
The present outbreak seems to be the
third within quite modern times.
The colorimeter of f. II. Ives is de-
signed to show what proportions of
the three primary colors must be mix
ed to give the color measured, and it
is these proportions, instead of the
peculiar shade, that the observer
notes. This gives precise record or
description of any mixed color. For
instance. white is an equal mixture,
recorded as "red 100, green 100, blue
1907" and instead of an Indefinite
"pink" certain color may be de-
signated as "red g.. green 81, blue
So" giving a formula by which the
color may be reproduced when de-
sired.
The resistance to motion of a
smooth surface parallel to the direc-
ton of motion has been Investigated
by Prot. Albert Frank, of the Han
over Technical School. He has shown
that 236 square feet of side surface
would be needed to give the resis
lance of one square foot of front sur
face perpendicular to the motion.
Ireland has now only 300, 600 acres
or 1 . per cent-in forest, although
climate and soil are favorable. The
crown commissions report has urged
the necessity of the immediate plant
ing of at Leaf 700, 900 acres of forest
trees.

pected the large dam on the Blue river,

November l.. Wymore had hoped to secure
cheap street lights from this source. it
being said that the builders OF the dam
contemplate using the surplus power to
operate a large electric light plant, and
furnish current to the city cheaply. It
is now reported, however, hat the Elec-
trio Service company, which is located In
Beatrice and furnishes electric current to
wymore and Blue Springs. has secured
the entire output Of the proposed electric
plant, and If such is the case this caves
Wymore as bad off as before. The com
pany will not make a rate to the city
cheauer than Is cents per kilowatt hour,
which is l cent below the rate TO private
consumers. The council thinks that rate
is not low enough. The report that the

pany has been negotiating with such an

or two. There were between thirty and
forty cases altogether, but only one death
resulted. and there has been but one death
from the disease in the farming country
tributary to this city. Public meetings arc

fresh outbreak OF the epidemic has disap.
