CHANGES BETTER
FOR THE WOOL BILL
Out of Tangled Situation in the Senate Comes Strong In
dcation That There Will Be Further Important
Tariff Legislation.

, free list bill is up. Then, various
wool bills, including the House bill
and the La Toilette bill, will be Of
fered as amendments to the free list
bill
Free List Bill Has Chance.
1t is by no means impossible that
enough insurgents and Democrats
will unite when the vote is had on
the free list bill to pass II in modI-
fed form, plus the House wool bill.
And If the road is once opened to-
ward tariff revision by passage of a
wool measure, II is not easy to say
where 1t will stop. Efforts will also
be made to reduce cotton, sugar, and
metal duties.
Hourly conferences of an informal
sort are being held among Democrats
and insurgents in the upper house.
Many of the Senators are sincerely de-
sirous OF working out an agreement
that will result in legislation. Com
promise plans are not entirely drop
ped. Thus, with the situation much
tangled, the outlook today is much
more favorable for legislation.
How Insurgents Will Vote.
After the vote on the wool bill tomor-
row. the lines are likely to assume more
definite shape.
Those insurgent Republicans who are
said TO be likely to vote for the House
wool bill If they cannot get anything
else include Clapp, Nelson, Works, Poin-
dexter, Gronna, and Brown. Senator
Brown has for weeks openly said he
would support the House wool bill II
there was no show Of getting some other
wool revision measure passed.
Senate Democrats conferred for sew
eral hours last night, but were unable to
agree. One element wants to support
the La Toilette bill and another element
is opposed TO anything but the House
measure.

MANUAL TRAINING
Creditable Exhibit by North Yakima
High School Bows

In Machinery hall there was an ex-
hibit by the North Yakima high school
training department that was credit
to the boys who did the work, and to
George LIE Veconte. who is instructor
in that department.
Here may be seen a woodworking
shop in full swing, with several boys
at the different machines, including
the lathe, work bench, etc. The ma
chinery is manipulated by small gas
oline engine. 1t was intended to use
steam power, and a steam engine,
| manufactured by the boys themselves
had been installed for the purpose,
but later it was found that it was
| impossible to get the steam power, so
the gasoline power had to be sub
stituted. ..
| All the tools used were manufac-
tured by the boys of the department,
some of them. particularly level and
compass, and hygrometer, being
quite intricate.
AS a practical use of the knowl-
edge gained by the students in the
manual training department was
shown scientific ware distributing

chardists In the exhibit were chairs,
,, dresser, porch settee, cases and fran es
for the written work, with a large,
old-fashioned hall clock as the main
| piece to rivet the attention The
latter is the product of the brains and
fingers of dozen of the boys with
Willie Reed as the principal mechani-
clan. All the parts of the clock were
made by the boys, including the case,
works.. hands-even to the figures on
the dial, the latter being cut out of
a sheet of brass. This clock would
make valuable piece of furniture

Building is Attractive

| One of the agreeable surprises at
the state fair this year was the sue
cessful landscape gardening done
about the Women's building. There is
greensward all around it and dahlias
of vigorous growth and good variety
,are grouped artistically about the
lawn. Green boxes filled with mas
| turtiums or other bright flowers are
effective against the manypaned win
dows, and similar boxes are placed
at the four entrances.
Fashions in Fancy Work
Inside the building is filled with a
livery superior brand Of needlework.
Arranged in wall cases at the corners
Of the room, or in glass cabinets In
the center, are examples Of every
sort of embroidery, drawn work,
and lace work The latter is espec-
tally beautiful this year, and there are
some garments trimmed with tatting
which for fineness and daintiness are
marvels. Irish crochet has many de-
voices this season, it seems, for there
are fashions in fancy work. as IN any
thing else.
Button Holes at 80.
The exhibit of handwork of women
over sixty is particularly large this
year and indicates that if there are
still plenty of women over three score
with good eyesight, there is every rea-
son to believe that they won't have
it much longer if they persist in do
ing needlework so fine. There are
several exhibits of button holes, in
this collection one set being the work
of a woman 80 years old.
On the opposite side of the room
is the Juvenile exhibit in which clever
youngsters have shown their ability
in various ways, including compli-
Gated crocheted bed spread, a floor
rug with a recognizable dog woven in
and piece of Indian fancy work of
bright satins appliqued and little
grass framed medallions applied here
and there with truly Eastern effect.
Fruit Pieces Predominant
Upstairs there Is an interesting,
though not very extensive display of
cut flowers, and an art exhibit in which
fruit pieces very properly predomi-
nate. One or two studies from still
life are reproductions of the Yakima
spud, looking fairly edible. There is
hand-painted china collection. some
craft work, few examples of burned
wood and leather and a petrifed peach
to be seen in the little room off one
corner. The curio exhibit this year
consists of some Indian baskets, and
odds and ends from the various tribes:
also Filipino war banner There
is good culinary exhibit.
Work IF Lifetime
Hanging on the wall is a bedspread
embroidered in green representing the
tree of life An informatory slip of
paper says that the wool was grown
on the back of sheep which lived
ninety years ago. 1t was carded and
spun, woven and embroidered by a
woman now eighty. The spread was
" orked on at intervals during her
whole life, most of it being done be-
tween her sixtieth and sixty-eighth
year.

Pure Breads in All Lines

rNhe man who has dealt in pure
fral stock in any line wants pure bred
.ock in every line. This tendency Is
vident among the exhibitors at the
tate fair. While it is generally ad-
mitted that to use the by-products OF
the farm to the best advantage, 1t is
a good plan to have several kinds to
,tock. as cows pigs and chickens, II
Is ONLY recently that the desire has
been manifest to have the best in
each line. But the pure bred stock
man in one branch Of the industry
realizes very soon that blood is
good business investment; and If IT
pays to have blooded stock in cattle,
why not in hogs or ducks?
They Were Scornful
Two men in a corner of the Wo-
mems building Friday afternoon,
evidently waiting for feminine be-
longing whose desire to see the fine
fancy work had to be gratified, were
talking of the chicken exhibit. eX-
pressing surprise at its extent. Their
conversation made it clear they had no
sympathy for the chicken fancier, and
thought it pretty small business for
man."
There were a dozen or more eXhib-
itors in the poultry department who
could have proved by book keeping
and bank accounts that it wasn't such
small business after all. But per-
haps the sentiment of the two men
was that of the average farmer, who
turns the chickens over to the women
folks and thinks a mongrel flock is
plenty good enough.
Eats No More
The men who are making money In
pure bred cattle or pure bred swine
however, are now in for pure bred
chickens; not perhaps to specialize
on them, but because good hens eat
no more than poor stock, lay as well,
at least, and they believe better, and
give one a chance to sell breeding
stock at better prices than those OBJ
tainable for market poultry. Besid es
all these reasons. there is the more in
tangible, but equally vital one that
straight breeding presents problems
which the man with bent for 1t likes
to work out.
VIII Have PelSins
L. H. Linbarger, who has gone to
the front rank in Poland China hogs,
expects to run his Mckee ranch per-
sonally next year and to develop it

Superintendent Collier of the poultry
department about the best variety for
his purpose. Mr.. Collier recommend
