MAN
W|LLEAT ALFALFA
Walla Walla Miller Predicts
Making Cookies Of Al
falfa Flour.

Walla Walla, Wash, Sept. pa
That the day is not far distant when
alfalfa will be just as important a
food for human beings as for bo
vines is the firm belief of c. A. Hol-
brook, of this city, manager of the
Garden City Milling company. Mr..
Holbrook has an exhibit at the fair
this week and has attracted no end
of attention by passing out cookies
made of alfalfa -four. All who have
eaten them have become charter
members of the alfalfa diet, for the
bread and cake made from alfalfa
-four are good.
Mr.. Holbrook's company is en-
gagged in making cattle foods, but the
manager claims that some fine day
man and beast will be eating the
same cereal. The exhibition of
cookies and cakes and mullins and
such is just to prove his contention.
His company doesn't make any -four
to sell, but it does make enough to
prove how good it would be if more
could be made easily.
Alfalfa Flour Too Coarse Now.
The only reason, according to Mr..
Holbrook, we are not all eating al
| falfa biscuits now and learning to
moo is because no one has yet in
vented a machine which can grind
| the alfalfa fine enough. Mr.. Hol-
/ brook has been working on the p"ob-
| lem for a year or two and other mill
men through the country are hard
at work on it. 1t is only question
| of time, and not much time at that
when some one of them will be sue
cessful and the price of alfalfa will
go up and the price of wheat come
down.
/ The machine now used for max
/ ing alfalfa meal, a cattle feed, makes
during the process some meal fine
enough to be called -four BY a Sc
ries of boltings some of the finely
ground meal has been siftej out and
from it the cookies being distributed
at the fair are made. Among his ex-
hibits MIR. Holbrook has a large,
, heavily frosted cake. One piece has
! been cut from it. showing the cake
itself, light green in color.

be withdrawn and leased for the
profit and pleasure of the federal
government Against this the ad-
vocates of local control protest Our
constitution provides: The state
OF Washington hereby asserts its
control and authority over beds and
shores of all navigable waters where
the tide GIBBS and flows up to me-
dunn high tide, and over the beds
and shores of all lakes and streams
up to medium high water The
constitution further provides: The
use of waters of the state for irri-
CATION. mining and manufacturing
purposes shall be deemed public
use
In spite of the provisions of the
constitution and in the face of the
numerous decisions of the supreme
court, that the state has absolute
jurisdiction over it's waterways, the
federal conservatiOnists maintain
that the federal government should
secure the profit and the use OF
what belongs to the state. In other
words, by the federal government
owning the power sites-which, of
course. is the key to the situation
they are able to play dog in the man
~ fn+@ inty
ing in the benefits of its own water
powers
Senator Jones of this state and
Senator Smoot of Utah have intro
duced bills in congress relative to
power sites in the federal reserves
which l believe have the approval of
all western men who have made any
study of this subject. These bills
provide that all power sites shall be
turned over to the state govern
ment, and the bills further provide
that the state shall never ALLEVIATE its
title and no lease shall be made for
longer period than fifty years, with
provisions that the charges for the
use of the water shall be adjusted
at the end of each ten-year period.
This bill is satisfactory, as I under
stand it, and under it whatever pro-
fit there is in our water powers will
accrue to the benefit of the treasury
of the state where they are located
and reduce the cost of government
that much. Some six months ago I
appointed a commission of prominent
citizens to study the water question
and submit a water code to the COM
