people prefer lavender silk, as it seems

the First National Bank of Pullman;
the Pullman Loan and Building AS

Wholesale Hat Company, met with a
serious loss recently. That a man
should lose farm of 1000 acres or
more seems improbable, if not i'm
possible, but Mr.. Burgan succeeded
in losing his farm which was evil

while Mr.. Burgan was in Pullman at

last week Mr.. Burgan had some
friends from Spokane visiting him
and decided to show them his fine
ranch. He secured the services of
L. B. Miller, with his fine new tour

Burgan was confident he knew where
his farm WAS when he left 1t the last

party searched the country over,

farm could not only not be seen. but

Il. I. TANNAT IN TROUBLE
). c. Must Face Serious
Charges

E, T. Tannat, son of General T. r.
Tannat, of Spokane, ey-regent of
Washington State College, is in trou-
ole in Montana. Tannat, junior, was
student in Washington State Col
lege for several years and graduated
with high honors. After leaving the
college he secured a position in the
Of electrical construction on a large
sugar plantation. Later he returned
to the United States and was con.
sulting engineer at Spokane. He is
now employed as professor of cleo
trical engineering in Montana Agri-
cultural College. A recent dispatch
from Helena says:
e. Tappan Tannatt, professor of
engineering at the Montana Agricul-
tural College, formerly Of Spokane,
was given a hearing at Helena Thurs
day before a committee of state board
of education, consisting of 0. w. Nc
Connell, Attorney General Galen and
o. P. Chisholm, on charges preferred
against him by the Carey land act
board. This action was taken by the
board following criticisms made of
some of its official acts by Professor
Tannatt, says a Helena report. w. s.
Hartman of Bozeman represented
him at the hearing. The committee
will report to the state board of edu-
cation at its meeting"

go astray and reluctantly made up
his mind that it had been stolen. He
suggested offering a reward for it's
return and mo questions asked" but
concluded to make a further search
in hopes that it might be hidden in
some of the many valleys that abound
in the country south, southwest. west
by south or almost any other old di-
rection from Cotton.
Diligently the party searched, go
ing over every passable and some
almost impossible roads and byways,
almost to Snake river, then returning
toward Cotton and after travelling
many leagues the party finally be-
came convinced the farm had been
stolen and started back to Pullman
with the intention of advertising it
in the Herald. On the road to Pull
man Mr.. Burgan noticed a road
which led to the south and suggest
ed following this to see If the farm
or its tracks could be discovered.
This suggestion proved wise one,
for. after going a number of miles
the farm was found, snugly lying
among hills and valleys, and the crop
and fruit trees were growing and
everything looked prosperous. Mr..
Burgan still insists the farm has been
moved, but those who accompanied
him declare this is not true and that
Mr.. Burgan simply got lost and could
not tell where his farm was located
The suggestion was made that
telephone line be built from Pullman
to the Burgan ranch so that Mr.. Bur-
gan can follow this in the future and
saving visiting Idaho and neighbor-
ing states in searching for his land

These are the new officials of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Uniou Of America, elected at the
second state convention which clos
ed at midnight Wednesday, June 2,
after having been in session since 10
o'clock Tuesday morning The CON
ventiCn was a successful one and its
work was well done. A number of
important changes were made in the
constitution and the work of the or
er will be enlarged and extended in
to new fields. The union will have
a business agent. with probably sew
eral assistants, located at the termi-
nal points to lock after the selling
of the products of the members and
to assist III purchasing supplies for
individual members or locals. The
work of the convention was, in the
main, harm onious. At times there
were heated discussions, but that
was only due to the fact that the
delegates were dreadfully in earnest
and were standing up manfully for
what they ueemed to be the best in
terests of the order.
Not a motion was made, nor vote
taken without due deliberation and
thorough discussion of the question
at issue. The constitution gives mem
bers who are not delegates the privi-
lege of taking part in the discussion
but they have no vote in settling the
questions at issue There were more
visitors than delegates and these took
an active part in the discussion of
the questions at issue. and assisted
materially in solving some of the
problems before the convention.
