WORLDS BIGGEST HEMLOCK

The largest hemlocK tree in the
world, so far as is known, stands on
the bank Of Mccoy creek, in Lewis
county, Washington and as it is in
oluded in the Rainier National forest,

hundred years which it has been grow

The tree, which measures % feet in
circumference, and 1-3 feet in diam
eter, has clean stem to the first
branch 100 feet from the base and is
perfect in every way. The king of
hemlocks stands among others of it's

Any anupathy in this city toward
Americans comes from the lower

DENY
STANF|ELD'S CHARGES

It is now a question whether or not
the people OF Stanfield will get either
relief or retribution for the damages
which the government water service
is causing to their property in and
about their town. According to ad-
vices from Hermiston this morning.
the governmnt authorities at that
place did not receive the Stanfield
resolution yesterday with very good
grace. Not only do they deny the
charges made by the incensed people
but they declare that such damage as
they have incurred has been brought
about by their own actions.
Specifically, the government Off
cials declare they dug a ditch to car
ry off waste waters, which ditch has
since been filled up by people on the
Stanfield project and that the respon-
sibility for any damage caused by
these waters rests upon these people.
Again they say that their feed canal,
which has broken and sent waters
down upon the inhabitants of Stan
field, was constructed before the town
was built and. that the men who laid
out the town should have made in
vestigations of the probability OF dam
age from the canal before fixing their
location.
The people Of Stanfield allege in
their resolution that breaks in the
feed canal have occurred frequently
and, in answer, the government men
assert that there has been but one
break, Every charge made by the
Stanfield people is either denied in
full or answered with a cross charge
and 1t is plain that the decisive ac-
tion taken by the people of the Fur
nish-Coe town will not secure them
the relief contemplated.
The next step in the development is
eagerly awaited.

CONFESS TO
ROLLING PULLMAN GIRLS

Spokane, April S.-The recent raid
on the girls dormitory at Washington
State college at Pullman by young
men who rolled several girls from
their beds to the floor took on a new
phase today, when, after investigation
by the faculty, three students who had
not been under suspicion confessed to
the deed.
The names of the three students are
Horace Smith of Spokane, senior in
the mining department; H. Knapp,
student of the veterinary department,
and lower classman; Jack Foran Of
Seattle, sophomore, captain Of the
football team.
Ralph Hogerson of Tacoma, who
was convicted by the faculty COM
mittee, is freed.
The men who confessed to the roll
ing have been definitely suspended
No one else will be expelled.
The case of Ralph Hogerson is ar
ousing great interest here. Before
his conviction. his mother came over
from Tacoma and pleaded with the
members Of the faculty committee.
Several of the girls, however testi-
fled positively that he was one of the
raiders. Now the three who have
confessed assert that Hogerson had
nothing to do with the affair.
