Ccntjhus Struggle.
San rsapeisco AT the - 81 r.
|frst month Of the striks of he shop
enployes 81 the Harrimap LIND bQeh
sides in tie Pacific Coast division ore
declaring their forces unimpaired and
that they are ready to continue the
fight. Officials Of the railroad point
to the fact that traffic has continued
uninterrupted and that the shops at
Sacramento, Los Angeles, Dunsmuir,
Oakland and San Frsncisco have bean
kept in operation with almost full
forces at work.
Leaders among the strikers point to
the fact that there has been almost IN
entire absence Of violence and declare
it is their intention to continue the
strike peaceably. E. L. Reguin, pres
ident Of the San Francisco local Of the
Shop Employees Federation, is hopeful
of victory for the strikers.
"We were prepared for the strike
when we began" he said, "and we
are prepared to continue it. We
knew it would be long, hard fight,
and test all our resources, but we have
something to fight for and we will
fight it out. Our men have refrained
from violence and am sure will con-
tinue to do so. "
Officials Of the Southern Pacific road
would make no statement other than
that the strike has not seriously inter-
fered with the business Of the board
and that the shops will be kept in
operation. Rumors of elaborate pre-
paration against attack by strikers in
the building Of stockades and the >em-
ployment of hundreds Of private watch
men were denied.

Fell Gigantic White Pine.

Palouse- What is conceded to have
been the largest white pine tree in the
world was cut by the Potlatch Lumber
company on its timber land in the
white pine belt of Northern Idaho,
near Bovill, this week. The tree
measured eight feet in diameter and is
estimated to contain from 75, 200 to
100, 600 feet Of lumber. It required
three cars for it's transportation from
the woods at Bovill to the mill at Pot
latch, where it now reposes in the mill
pond. The butt end of tie tree will
be set up at the w., /. & M. station
in Potlatch as landmark.

TEST HARD WHEAT.
Theory Of County Commissioners Is
Being Tried Out in Flour.

Harrington-For testing the theory
Of S. E. Mcdonald, prominent farm
er and county COMMISSIONER from this
district of Lincoln county, the Har-
rington Mill company made test run
of 900 sacks of wheat harvested BY
Mr.. Mcdonald. This tryout was
made to determine if better -four can
be made from wheat cut with bind
er, stacked, allowed to sweat and take
up all the juices and nutriment Of the
straw, then being threshed with a
thresher.
Mr.. Mcdonald thinks it will make
better bread, as the wheat cut and
threshed at the same operation with
the combined harvester is subjected to
all the elements and deprived, he
thinks, of the benefit Of the sweating
process, whereby the nutriment all
of it accumulates in the wheat
berry. The mill has sacked this flour,
which is Of whittier quality than the
other in blank sacks.

Cement Pipe. Carry Water.

Cement Pipes Carry Water.
Sunnyside "A new method for de-
livering irrigation water on the farm
has recently been invented by F. N.
Cronholm, constructing engineer of
the reclamation service, now working
on the Sunnyside project. The sys-
tenn substitutes a cement water pipe
for the old and costly method of using
earth bitches. Under Mr.. Cronholm g
process the cement is put into the
forms while very wet, producing a
solid product, free from porous de-
fects. Tests have proven that it will
stand heavy pressure.

Pittsbuag Scene Of Noisiest Demon

[stration Of Entire Trip.
Pittsburg- President Taft's second
swing around the circuit came to an
end here in the most enthusiastic and
by far the noisiest demonstration ex-
perienced in the $4,000 miles he has
travelled. Pittsburg celebrated the
centennial of steap navigation on
Western rivers and Mr.. Taft was the
star attraction.
The police estimate that there were
$50, 900 persons at the wharf on the
Monongahela river when the president
was taken aboard the steamboat Vir-
ginia to review the ''feet" anchored
there.

Husum- Underwood Road Done,

Husum- Work on the county road
between here and the Underwood cut
off is about completed. Under the SUI
pervision Of Charles Thornton, road
supervisor, at an expenditure of only
$4,000, the roadbed has been graded
for five miles with gravel taken from
the hillsides. A remarkable feature
of the completion of the highway was
that the contour of the road was ac-
complished without the aid of survey
ors, Mr.. Thornton using a practical
eye for this purpose.
