Splinter YATES
WAS HARRY huff
Who Won the Hundred Yard Dash
AT the National 4. 4. L.
Games i'm 1907.

The Davenport Tribune says:
That Ed Yates who fingered around
Davenport all summer during whic
he joined the Davenport fire depart
ment and took part in the tourna-
ment at Cheney, and made mum erous
efforts to secure a race with the
great w. S. c. sprinter. Jack Mel
son. is none other than Harry Huff
who won the 100-yard dash at the
National A A. q. games at James
town, Va, in l907 is the informa-
ton that has just leaked out HUFF
endeavored all summer to get the
eX-collegian to meet him as an "un-
known" for a big side bet. Friends
and hackers of Nelson were willing
to go the route" for their favorite
but the hackers of the two racers
could not agree on the distance
Huff's hackers did not want the race
to go longer than 100 or 1875 yards
Nelson insisted on 200 or 22O.
Huff has for the last few years
been travelling all over the country
racing under various nom-de-plumes,
picking up soft side bets where en-
thusiastic but reckless sports were
willing to back some local lad
against the unknown" He went
back to Iowa only few nights ago
to meet some poor ambitious sucker
there. His home is at Crescent,
and he was formerly a student and
star athlete at Grinnell college, Iowa.
Those who are familiar with the
records of Huff and Nelson will re-
gret keenly that 1t was impossible
for the two men to get together. II
would have made a wonderful race.
They are probably the fastest men
in the United States over the short
distances. Both have been National
A. A. U. meet winners, Nelson hav-
ing shown the best amateurs in the
land the way over the 220-yard
course at Pittsburg last June and
Huff having won the 100-yard at
jamestown four years ago.
Now Johnny Simpson, the Spokane
man, who is Huff's main supporter
says he is willing to back the ex-
Grinnell boy against any sprinter in
tho world.
HUFF hung around Davenport for
several months during which he
trained every day and kept himeslf
in perfect form. He is a good cornet
player and played a great deal at
the Casino theater and at dances.
He kept his identity a secret even
among his closest associates. While
here he purchased some expensive
jewelry which he had engraved with
the letters III. H." but even after
that none of his companions were
able to conceive his name"

SQUARE DEAL FOR
PULLMAN SHIPPERS
New Distance Tariff on Railroads
Will go Into Effect Before the
First Of the Year

Pullman win have marked re-
duction in freight rates when the
new order of the public service COM
mission, establishing a distance tar
iff in Washington goes into effect,
which will be between now and Jan
uary /. The new order will compel
the railroads to haul freight at the
same rate in one direction as an
other. This has never been the case
in eastern Washington and the new
order makes big reduction in freight
rates from all small stations in east
ern Washington.
Spokane has enjoyed what is term
ed distributing" rate for the past
20 years. This gives Spokane mer-
chants an opportunity to send mer-
chandise to all surrounding points
at a rate much lower than that charg-
ed from these points to Spokane.
Thus the first class rate from Spo-
kane to Pullman is 40 cents, while
the rate from Pullman to Spokane is
ga cents. Under the new schedule
the rate will be 40 cents per hundred
pounds each way, reduction of IA
cents, or more than Is per cent, in
the existing rate from Pullman to
Spokane, The present rates per 100
pounds on first, second, third and
fourth class freight from Spokane to
Pullman are 40, 80, 30 and rs cents.
The rates on the same classes of
freight from Pullman to Spokane are
Sd, 46, 3S and 80 cents The reduc-
ton in present rates on freight
from Pullman to Spokane will be IA
cents per 100 pounds on first and sec
ond class, nine cents on third class
and seven cents on fourth class
freight.
There has never been any just
cause for charging more for hauling
freight in one direction than anoth-
err, but the railroads did it and the
people were powerless to get relief
until the public service commissi on
took the matter in hand and estab-
lished the only just basis OF fixing
freight rates, namely the distance
traiff This enables a shipper to
send 100 pounds Of freight 100 miles
in any direction from any railroad
point in the state just as cheaply as
it can be sent from any other town
in the state 1t will stop the pernic-
ious practice of the railroads of say
ing arbitrarily that one town shall
have a certain rate and another town
shall have another rate. Under the
old system the railroads could make
one town a distributing point at the
expense of all the other towns at the
radius of 100 miles or any distance
the railroads might fix Under the
new schedule Pullman merchants
can ship merchandise to any point
/ just as cheaply as Spokane merchants
and the man who ships freight to Spo-
kane will not be required to pay rs
per cent more than the man who ships
the same kind of freight from Spo-
kane.

VALUE OF PURE-BPED SlRES
TTot' r. n. Fraser of Illinois Expert
ment Station Explains This
Feature Of DaIryine.

The value OF a good bull in the
dairy herd is something hat dairy
farmers are now giving more attention
to. Prof. E. h. Fraser of the Illinois
experiment station has made this tea-
ture OF farm dairying a study. and ex-
plains its benefits in this way: If, for
example, the good pure-bred sire i'm
proves the milking capacity of his
daughters by only one and one-half
pounds of milk at a milking, above the
production OF their dams. this would
mean an increase of 900 pounds of
milk for the ten months or 300 days
during which the ordinary cows should
give milk; they would also be much
more persistent mixers; that is, would
give milk for a longer time in the year
and would regain their flow OF milk
better after an unavoidable shortage
OF iced as i'll a summer drought. Such
daughters may certainly be credited
on the average with 1000 pounds more
milk per year than their dams pro-
duced. At the low estimate Of one dol
lar per 100 pounds this extra amount
Of milk would be worth $40 per year.
The average COW is a good producer
for at least six years, or until she gets
eight years old Each daughter having
a pure-bred sire will, therefore, earn
$50 more money in her lifetime be-
cause OF the good qualities of her sire.
1t will on the average be four years
after purchasing the sire before his
first daughters will have finished their
first lactation period and brought In
the first extra $40. Eight dollars and
twenty-three cents kept at compound
interest for these four years at five
per cent. will equal $40. so a daugh-
ter's improvement or increase OF in
come the first year is worth SS.23 al
the time her sire is purchased"

This is the time or year when the
dairyman or dairy farmer who owns a
silo likes to talk about silage. Good
sflage comes as neal being June pas
ture in January as any iced with
which the dairyman is familiar. It's
succulent or juicy nature especially
fits it for stimulating the milk flow
and keeping the COW in vigorous
health. Probably h most important
rule in the profitable dairy is to keep
the cows milk flowing as freely as pos
sfble after the flow has onc beer
started by parturition or calf-birth. To
do this demands right feeding and
good care. Silage Is also necessary to
right feeding. Silage Is a cheap feed
to cut up and valuable to use. 1t is
grown on the farm. This fact is of
Importance in this day of high-priced
mill feeds.

within the prison. The confederate
guards stopped calling for help. In
stead of the enemy coming. however,
it was the returning Of some of the
prisoners, who had gone outside and
spiked some cannon and dumped them
into the river, whose waters were
nearly bank high n rising. These
men reported that we could not get
away on account of the high water
overlooking all the country, and that
the prison and town would be over

But the enemy's cannon did cone
other cannon. two guns-but not be-
fore daylight. These were pointed
at US from the opened entrance doors
with the threat thai they we're going
to blow us all to eternity. We were
massed in front of the doors, a solid
crowd Of daring, defiant and deter

dered the guns away. but he entered
with a file of soldiers when he saw
what a quiet lot of lambs we were,

ri gleaders of this insurrection were

named Reggy or Regnas was tied in

stubbornly refused and was released.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHlNG

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, 1t came In
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin. then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.

without any relief at all. Then l
wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. | did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months. and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

DAIRY RECORDS ARE UoEFUL
They Serve as Tab on Mixers and
Make Excellent Barometer Of
Cows Condition.
BY ]. BAILEY BRUCE.)

Accurate records of each cows milk
yield enables us to weed out the herd
and retain only the mOney-makers.
They serve as a tab on the mixers.
If the COWS are not MIXED clean the
fact is discovered. Poor milking by
hired help is discouraged and the dry
ing off from imperfect milking re-
duced to a minimum.
The cows daily record is al excel
lent barometer OF her physical condi-
ton. arrangements are more quickly
discovered and checked and better
methods of feeding are encouraged.
Both owners and help are stimu-
lated to increase the product and 1t
educates them in the matter of dairy
economy.
They induce better business in the
management OF the business. A place
where business methods have been too
long ignored.
They serve as an excellent guide in
selecting heifers that are to be raised
to replace the COWS we annually dis
card from the herd.

The order to fall in was secretly
