Contracts for next years sugar beet
crops have been printed and agents

points to a larger acreage than hereto

ritory to be cultivated to beets will
give an estimated total acreage in the
district Of about $4,000 acres. The
opening of the territory to the north
and east Of Eaton will give greater
tonnage TO the Eaton factory. Wind
sor will get the bulk of the crop
grown west of Eaton.
Farmers are now hauling their ST.
loed beets to the factory and will fin
ish delivering by the end of this
month. Thousands of tons of beets
are piled along the railroad tracks.
The cold weather will not affect the
use of the beets for sugar-making pur-
poses as long as they remain frozen.

Inventor Of Planning Machine.

AS to the original inventor of the
planning machine, there is. perhaps,
scarcely machine about which there
has been more controversy than this,
and there are many claimants to the
honor. There are records, however,
showing that Nicholas Forq, French
clockmaker, used a metal planer in
1851 for machining pump cylinders,
apparently being under the impression
that they could be made more accur-
ately in this manner than by a re-
volving cutter.-Cassier's Magazine.

when man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his incest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.

Although business of 10 great i'm

of the city council at the regular meet

lengthy one, and routine subjects We're
given full consideration. Three mem
bers of the council are out of the city
on their summer vacations, but the four
remaining, together with the mayor,
are looking after the needs OF the mu-
nicipality, and progress in the matter
of street Improvements is not being
delayed because of lack of needed
legislation.

the grade is made gradual until it runs

only property damaged is that of

Rose and Second streets. The city
has agreed to raise her sidewalks and
parking and If this is done satisfactor-
lily she will not carry the matter into
colA'ts. The only change in Rose is a
fill of about one foot between Sixth
and Seventh streets.

for the purpose of having a suitable
. displays on this occasion, it is DESTROYS
that large crowd of people go from
this locality and make as good show
ing as possible.
1t is the intention of the club to Sc
cure over 200 people to attend this
convention and as this will be one of
the most notable gatherings ever held
in the Pacific Northwest little trouble
Der.
The subject of irrigation will be dis
cussed by prominent men, by profess
sors and scientists from all parts of
the United States. 1t will be dis
cussed from all phases and practical
demonstrations will be made in grow
ing orchards around Spokane. Any
one who is interested in irrigat on
now or will be in the future cannot
afford to miss this convention. 1t
will be to those who already know
something of irr CATION the same as
a post graduate course and to him
who knows nothing of irrigation and
it's results it will be primary lesson.
One of the ways the Commercial
club will spend it's money is by hav-
ing full sized reproduction of Bla-
lock gusher, which is intended to be
one Of the unique features of the con-
gress, as it is believed no other sec
ton can show artesian wells as the
Walla, Walla valley. This full grown
photograph will be placed in the most
prominent place that can be found
and secured in the city of Spokane.
Another feature will be to have sew
eral Walla Walla floats in the parade
Every other section of the Inland En-
pire intends to make more than a
creditable showing.
II addition to the. decision of the
club yesterday. the publicity manager
has written all the outlying districts
in this valley inviting them to unite
with Walla Walla and make COM
bined display from the Walla Walla
valley.
!, Two hundred people and the band
for the Irrigation congress, with one
fare for the round trip, is one Of the
latest slogans of the Commercial
club, and one it is hoped will receive
serious consideration.
