NEWS CAUSES GREAT
EXCITEMENT IN LONDON

London. Sept 6.-The receipt of the
dispatch from Peary announcing he
had found the North Pole created the
greatest degree of excitement in Lon
don. The newspapers were at first
Inclined TO treat 1t rs hoax. and be-
fore publishing it they kept the tele-
phone wires hot with inquiries as to
its authenticity.
The message reached the evening
papers only In time for the briefest
stop press" mention. Headlines such
as "A Strange Telegram" and "A
Mysterious Message" emphasized the
caution With which the startling news
was received,
When the announcement was made
that the message originated at Indian
Harbor. Labrador, there was a much
greater disposition to credit 1t, as Il
was at lrst thought TO have come
from Indian Harbor. New Foundland.

FARMERS ARE SURPRISED .

W. II. Sperry returned Monday
afternoon from his 800 acre farm
southwest of town, wearing smile
indicating that he was pleased. When
asked the reason Mr. Sperry announc-
ed that his grain had yielded much
better than he had expected. Will
liam Jones is farming Mr.. Sperry' S
land and he had 5000 bushels of
oats where he had only expected s.
900. This is about 60 bushels per
acre, for he had 100 acres in the
field and it is thought the oats will
weigh out little more than so bush
els. While this is not regarded as
a big yield, it would be so considered
in any other country than the Palouse
and that part Immediately surround
ing Pullman.
Mr.. Jones had fine yield of wheat
too, getting 1905 sacks which aver
aged 135 pounds to the sack, from 80
acres This is an average of SO 12
bushels per acre. This wheat was of
little club variety.

McVOY HAD SOME WHEAT

Arch. McVoy, living three and one
half miles northwest of Pullman, near
the water tank of the O. R. & NJ,
had fine yield of wheat from 1876
acres of Red Russian. The grain
was threshed this week by Ben Bad
er's machine, and yielded 3197 sacks
which averaged 1877 pounds to the
sack. This makes a total Of 1900
bushels, and an average of SO 1-3
bushels per acre The wheat is of
excellent quality, weighing heavy for
that variety, and will give Mr.. Nc
Voy large profit for his season e
work. Ben Bader, whose machine
threshed the crop. said: This was
the best crop we have threshed this
year. 1t was one of the best crops
ever saw. We have threshed some
excellent crops but none of such large
acreage, which yielded so much per
acre"

Jeen in ia health for some time and
now that good opportunity presents
itself, will devote some time to travel
and recuperation. C. w. Weythman
clerk of the bank. was in line for the
promotion, but he was lucky in
drawing in the Flathead reservation,
and will probably have to leave for
his claim before Mr.. Knapp's re-
turn, Ross Kennedy was given the
place.
There is a nice little rom ance inot
a love affair howeyer) connected
with the sudden determination Of
Mr.. Knapp to take a prolonged vaca-
ton. Many years ago Mr. Knapp's
mother bought lot in Spokane. She
playfully announced that whenever
0iiS oOiu thdl lOt lOI 9oO,UUO Sue
would give each of the children $l0,-
600. She little thought at that time
that she would ever be privileged
to keep the promise, but the remark
able and steady growth of Spokane
made it possible. Some time ago
Mrs. Knapp sold the lot for $4,000
and her son received a check for $iO,-
900, the amount promised him many
years ago. He will devote a part of
this money to a course of treatment
which is hoped will relieve him from
a chronic illness with which he has
suffered much at times in the past
year.

SOME SPLENDID WHEAT

John Bishop and J. II. Weeks, who
are farming Mr.. Bishops farm,
known as the old Brewrink place
adjoining Pullman on the south, had
a fine yield of wheat, which is
among the best quality of grain
brought to Pullman this year. The
wheat is College Hybrid No. 143.
The yield was not as large as many
reported in this vicinity, but would
be considered phenomenal any other
place but here. 1t averaged 46 bush
els per acre But it is the quality
of wheat which attracts attention.
The berries are large, plump and
white The wheat tested ga pounds
to the bushel and the sacks averaged
a little more than $50 pounds, or 2
1-2 bushels each.
Klemgard & Price bought the
crop. paying a record price, 78 cents
per bushel, for 1000 sacks The
wheat is being delivered at the
Joint" warehouse, conducted by the
Farmers Union, and is being ship
ped to the coast. Some of the wheat
was bought for seed and will be
planted in this country. A man from
Colorado got sack of 1t and took
1t to that state for trial
