election in 1920. His most popular
acts were probably the recognition of
the independence of Mexico and the
South American republics and the
PRONUNCIATION of what has since been
the Monroe Doctrine" in which he
declared the American policy of
neither entangling ourselves within
the brOils Of Europe. nor suffering the
powers Of the Old World to interfere
with the affairs Of the New" and that
ANY attempt to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere
would be dangerous to our peace and
safety" In 1925 he retired to his seat
at Oak Hill, London county, Virginia,
but he still continued in the public
service. After being twice president,
he acted as justice of the peace, a
visitor of the University of Virginia,
and member of the state conven-
ton; but a profuse hospitality and
generosity caused him to be over
whelmed with debt, and he found re-
fuge with his relatives in New York,

cessors, Adams and Jefferson-on the

PREPARE FOR
THE BIG MEET
EVERYTHING BEING DONE TO
MAKE NTERScHOLASTIc
MEET A SUCCESS.
representatives From Many Hiah
Schools and Academies Will
Take Part Next Week.

Great preparations are now under
way for the annual interscholastic track
meet to be held on Ankeny field on May
and Z. This meet is one of the great
est athletic events of the year in the
northwest as there are always some of
the best athletes of the country gath
cred and some promising material is
always brought out that makes good in
some of the colleges of the country
later on. Not only is this interesting
from an athletic standpoint but also
from the fact that there are always a
large number of visitors at this func-
ton who are given an opportunity of
seeing the beauties of the Walla Waila
country and the college as well. This
has come to be looked upon as a regu-
lar event in the college year and greater
preparations than ever before are being
made in order that it may be the most
successful one ever given.
Owing to the large number of men
to be entered and the great expense
connected with the event financing has
been a matter of considerable impor-
lance to those at the head of the af-
fairs. This year this matter was made
easy for the college authorities by the
Walla Walla Commercial club which
generously came forward and are using
every effort to make the meet a sue
cess. Not only will the Commercial
club lend their financial aid but also
will aid in the entertainment of the
visitors while in the city.
AS is the custom the meet will be
run off on two different days the pre-
liminary heats of the races coming on
May and the finals on May Z. At the
present time there are between 200 and
$50 entries for the meet and a number
more are expected later on in the
week. So far the largest team that
has been entered is from the Spokane
high school, which has signified it's in
tention of bringing IS men, while the
other schools are sending from six to
Is in their teams. Last year the con-
test for the championship lay between
Lewiston and the Spokane team with
the final hOnOrs in favor of the Idaho
boys who depended on their star sprint
er Eckert for the majority of the
points This year several of the star
men who competed last season will be
out and some new men are counted on
to uphold the record that was set by
these men who are now making places
for themselves on the college teams of
the northwest. Jay of Pendleton high

evening, happy, but very tired This
years team is undoubtedly the best
Oregon ever turned out. 1t made an en-
viable record on it's northwestern tour

The trip was an exceptionally hard
one on the players, as three games
were played in SO hours in the Will
lamette valley on the beginning of the
trip and seven games were played In
six days in the Inland Empire. The
team travelled 1900 miles.
On the entire trip cold and rain
were experienced, and in the raw
winds the Oregon pitchers seemed
hardly able to warm up, having to re-
ly on control rather than their ac-
customed curves. During the games at
Idaho the thermCmete registered but

Washington as minister to France

Where will the principal gains in
democratic representatives be made?
In the west and middle west. Con-
gressmen that had a close shave in
the last election will lose out at the
coming elections through their alIeg-
lance to the Cannon-Aldrich crowd

the tools of the Cannon oligarchy. He

II would not be surprised if Chicago

Madden, Mann and Boutell of Chicago,

is pretty hard to forecast for then. A
democratic majority in the house,
however, has always been considered
the first requisite toward success in a
presidential election. One thing | be-

elected again. The Roosevelt endorse

making this statement, however, with
any knowledge of the position OF the

for nv own belief Taft has violated
the Roosevelt policies in fourteen

ual cup is this season making good on
the team of W! S. G and Severyns who
ran the half mile for the Prosser high
last Saturday in the Whitman Wash
ington meet won first place in the mile
and second in the half.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the meet this year will be the
grammar school events, the 50 yard
dash and the quarter mile relay. AS
trophies for these events the business
men of Walla Walla have put up some
large silver cups. Also there will be
the individual championship cup and
the relay cup which must be won three
times in succession before becoming
the permanent property of any team.
Last year this cup was won after a
hard fight by the Lewiston boys and
the year before by Pendelton. Lewis
toms chances this year seem to be OF
the best as they have the same team
of one man.
In addition to the athletic side of the
gathering there will be held in the col
lege chapel on Thursday night the
regular defamation contest which is
one of the features of the time as both
men and women are eligible to COM
pete, the event being won last year by
one of the fair sex. The management
of the affair is in the hands of the
Whitman college faculty and every eff
fort is being made to have everything
in readiness for the large crowd that is
expected. The track on Ankeny field
which is without a doubt the finest in
the northwest is being put in the best
possible shape and arrangements are
being made for the accommodation of

into goat, sheep, mare and even dog
milk, all of which have certain spe-
cial uses
That plums, nectarines and peaches
can be grated upon the common little
cherry of the north and northwest and
bear first class fruit
That squashes, melons and other
gourds will grow bigger and better if
suspended upon hanging swings, thus
conserving the energy wasted by the
plant in supporting their weight
That grapes can be kept fresh all
winter by cutting off six inches of the
vine with the punches and placing
them in wide necked bottles which are
kept filled with fresh water and filed
in racks in the cellar
That tomatoes can he grown as one
enormous sphere by much the same
process that evolved the American
Beauty rose-training the vines ver-
tically on sticks, cutting them off at
no great distance from the ground and
allowing only few fruits to develop.
That trees should not be planted
gently, but should be rammed down
into the ground like a post and the soil
packed down hard and tight about
them.
That if seeds are sprinkled with or
binary red lead it doesn't hurt them
at ALL but the birds won't touch them.
and that weeds can be killed off easily
by sprinkling them with petroleum
That beautiful truffles can be grown
here by importing the oaks from
France and with them the little blue
fly whose boring into the roots to de-
post her eggs causes the viscous
growth that is so appetizing.
That the encroachments of sand can
be stopped and the land be reclaimed
and made fertile by using sand binding
grasses that are good also for fodder.
That trees can be dWarfed so as to

IN SONG AND PRAYER
1rIune |mmersIonists Awaiting
the End Of the World,

West Duxbury, Mass, Sept. 9l.-In-
spired by conviction that the end OF
the world was at hand the 800 and
more members of the Latter Reign of
the Apostolic church, or Triune I'M
mers1onists, as they prefer to be
called, assembled early about their
place of worship. There the devotees
awaited the. destruction and purifica-
ton of the world by fire, in fulfillment
OF their own prophesy.
AS the appointed time drew near
the believers filed the chapel and de-
voted their energies to the singing Of
hymns. Shortly before 10 o'clock the
skies darkened and those who had
been watching for a sign appeared
convinced that the millennium was at
hand. One hymn followed another as
the believers waited for the final puri-
fcation. Ten o'clock came, but the
sky frightened and the millennium, in
the opinion Of the believers, was ap-
parently postponed for a brief period.
It was then explained that a revela-
tion which was made to one of their
number indicated that the destruction
was to be deferred for q few hours.
The faithful still continued confident
that their prophecies would be full
filled and they spent the remainder Of
the forenoon praying and singing
hymns. There was very little CON-
ment when the hour designated for
the f1nality of earthly things passed.

THE PIONEER LEADS, FOR NEWS.

The Bemidji Daily Pioneer
"scooped" all daily papers in the
state, last Saturday, in the matter of
printing the score of the football
game on Northrup field, Minneapo-
lis.
The Pioneer gave the score of the
first half of the game, and would
certainly have had the final score,
had it not been for the fact that the
United States was visited Saturday
by one of the strangest electrical
phenomenas ever known, whereby
the telegraph and telephone service
was crippled, and it was impossible
to get messages through after 4
o'clock until 7 in the evening.
No other daily in the state printed
any account of the game until extra
editions were issued, in the evening
after supper.
The Pioneer prints the news when
it is news, and automatically.

President Of Arctic Club Goes, Over
Explorers Data.
Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. 3J.-GeneraR
Thomas H. Hubbard, president Of the
Peary Arctic club, has examined the
data and observations of Commander
Robert Il. Peary's dash to the pole.
General Hubbard also looked into the
information which Commander Peary
has obtained on the question, "Has
Cook been at the pole?"
The examination is preliminary to
conference here Monday or Tuesday,
when Commander Peary probably will
submit further records and supply any
needful information not contained in
the rough draft of his preliminary re.
ports. 49, E.-. y
The course likely to be pursued by
Commander Peary is TO proceed with
the development of his own scientific
data and it's submission to the neces-
sary scientific bodies to prove his
finding of the pole without regard to
any question of whether DR.. Cook has
been to the pole.

DAMS BREAK and
CITY IS FLOODED
Loss at Fergus Falls, MIMI,
Estimated at 100000.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Sept. 2TL-Two
hundred thousand dollars in property
loss was caused here by the breaking
of several power dams and two men
narrowly escaped death.
The first dam to go out put the wa
ter works and electric light system
out Of business. These plants had
been completed only last fall, the dam
and machinery at the electric light
plant costing 100000. It is a COM
plete loss. The two men at work in
the electric light station rushed up
the bank and had just reached point
of safety when the huge dam was
lifted bodily from it's foundations and
tipped over, together with the power
house and all of the electrical ma
chinery.
Following the breaking of this dam
the water came down with roar, TAX
ing the Kirk dam, owned by private
parties, and spreading out over the
1owlands. Debris lodged against the
pile bridge on Mount Faith avenue
and the structure was soon swept
away.
In the heart Of the city few small
buildings were washed away. Base
ments were flooded in some parts Of
the business district and loss in goods
will amount to thousands of dollars.
The flood also washed out part of the
Wright dam, which furnished power
to two large flour mills and an cleo
trical power plant, which supplies
power for number of factories and
other Industries.
