BREWERY ORDERS MALT FROM
DAYTON AFTER LONG TIME

DAYTON, Wash, Mar 17-(Spec'
iaD-The boycott against Dayton
made by breweries of the Northwest
is broken. No orders have been re-
ceived for malt since the saloons were
voted out of Dayton in December, 1908
until this week, when a coast brew
ing company, the name Of which is
kept secret, placed an order with the
Dayton malt house for 200 tons of first
class malt to be delivered at once.
The plant, which Isl one Of the largest
in the Inland Empire is being over
hauled preparatory to making the
run"
With the local option election set
for March 90. and the hottest campaign
on record now being waged, specula-
ton is rife as to the cause of the
brewing cOmpany's action. VETS
contend that return Of the saloons
means a revival of the brewing in
dustry, which at one time was of the
most important here. "Drys' con-
tend that a general shortage of brew
ing barley has literally forced the
brewery to appeal to Dayton for malt
because Of the fact that no better
barley for the purpose can be obtained
and that farmers here do not depend
anyway on the breweries for the sale
of their barley.

man in the world of choo-choo trains
and palace cars. And the two men
were pretty good friends, too, until it
came to the subject of federal control
of railways. Whenever that question
came up. both switched off on some
thing else because both Hartman and
Hughitt thought too much of each
other to argue an unpleasant topic.
Mr.. Hughitt is one of the group of
great railroad men who have come up
from the ranks. Born in Cayuga coun-
ty, New York, in 1887, he soon tired of
punching a yoke of oxen over barren
fields upon his fathers farm. He
learned how to tap a telegraph key,
and entered the railroad service Then
came the sort of incident that play
wrights delight in. He had been made
trainmaster of the Centralia division
Of the Illinois Central. This was dur
ing the Civil war, eand one day orders
came that large body of troops must
be moved over the road with the ut
most rapidity, and at the same time
without interfering with. traffic.
Hughit brushed the dispatcher away
from the key, and sat down in it for
himself. For SO hours he was glued to
the chair, and every wheel kept turning
every minute.
came the word from headquarters.
Young Hughitt, stiff and cramped from
his long tour of duty, had gone to
his room and had partially removed a
certain important portion of his cloth
ing, predatory to turning in for a rest,
when a messenger tapped at the door
He had telegram Move these troops
back again-at once-without inter-
ference with traffic." came the order
Hughitt sat at the key for another
SO hours. Headquarters didn't have a
word to say at the end of that 72-hour
up, he found letter at his bedside
You have been made division super
indent Report at once"
The rest of Hughitt's career fol-
lowed in regular order. In 1872 he was
made general superintendent of the
Chicago Northwestern, and five years
later became its president. And he has
been the boss of that road, too. Now
and then he has been forced to bite a
director until that gentleman came to
his senses and there have been times
when Mr.. Hughitt has cuffed the stock
holding body into sanity.
But so successful has he been in
furthering the propensity of the roads
with which he is connected that he
has been called the foremost railroad
man in the world.

TROUBLE WITH WHEAT.
What an Idle Man, One Grain and a
Checkerboard Might DO.

Equal to the story of the man
whose capital was one cent, loaned
at eight per cent interest at the time
of the birth of Christ. and what he
would be worth now, is the story of
the grains of wheat and the checker
board, now going the rounds. We
give it to you for what it is worth
If it don't look right you can figure
it out for yourself.
Suppose man takes a sack of
wheat and an ordinary checker
board. and sits down some afternoon,
and undertakes to put a grain of
wheat on the first square, two grains
on the second four grains on the
third, and eight on the fourth, and
so on, doubling the number of grains
on each succeeding square, how many
grains would be required for the last,
or sixty-fourth square?
The answer will surprise you. A
man who has figured it up says there
is not enough wheat in the nation to
supply the sixty-fourth square. BY
counting half pint and multiplying,
he says there are a few less than
one million grains in a bushel
Therefore, for the Gath square it
would require 9,223,371,9S5,6 $751;
! 775,S0S grains of wheat. Allowing
1000, 900 grains to the bushel this
meant in round numbers 1929, 81 )
9S5,654 bushels.
Where would that checkerboard
! fellow get his grain?" asked one of
the men who was watching the count,
with awe in his voice.
Some one suggested that the entire
wheat of the United States in one
year was 500,O00,000 bushels. From
this it was deduced that if the whole
nation stopped eating and furnished
the checkerboard man every grain of
wheat harvested he would have
enough for his sixty-fourth square in
trifle over 1S,446 years
Even then he would not be out of
trouble, this checkerboard man. He
would have to find some new way to
transport his grain. This would re-
quire at 600 bushels to the car, in
round numbers, 1890 100000 cars
which the railroads would scarcely be
able to handle, seeing that it would
require 6O,000,000 miles Of trackage
to provide room for them to stand
| STILL let alone to be moved.
These figures and maze of others
the men figured out. Those who are
curious can calculate for themselves
the United States would have to be
lreduplicated to procure wood to
build the cars, how many times the
weight OF the moon. the load on that
last checker square would weigh, etc.

Kicked by a Mule.

Saturday while John Hougas was
caring for the mules owned by Roy
Noftsger. he was kicked by one of
them and suffered very severe injury
Mr. Hougas had watered the mules
and placed feed in their feed boxes,
and the mules were in their stalls
eating when he went in to place the
halters on them. In some manner
they took fright and both whirled and
began kicking at him. He was knock
ed down and the mules, after kicking
above him for a short time, left the

tention of the folks at the house and

out the experiment of rolling down

With this colossal bulk the mass is

tions Of the planets are not disturbed
even by their near approach,
The head Of the comet of 1850 was
G09, 900 miles wide, and Of 1853, Do
nati's, 100000. The present comet
must be comparable to these mons
ters, since its apparent magnitude of
nucleus IS greater than that of the
planet Venus, although it is three
times farther away.
The giant comet Of 1913, that Won
der of the ages, actually plowed
through the corona of the sun at
distance Of only $4,000 miles from
the appalling surface of the solar
disk. It's velocity was more than $50
miles per second. How body prac-
tically without mass, or at least Of
force of attraction strong enough to
be detected, could dash through the
coronal envelope and escape without
annihilation is a standing mystery,
Comet Innes, being at perihelon
3,S13,0 900 miles from the suns CEN
tire, was 3,3S0.000 miles from the
white-hot surface. The longest
streamer projecting from the sun so
far measured was 100000 miles
long. Comet A, 1S43, was first seen
at noon without telescope aid. The
length OF the streamer was more
than 10O,000,O00 miles and width
nearly 100000 1t was fiery red
