growing. The experiments show
that, wherever the average annual
rainfall is Is inches or more, field
peas are very profitable crop to
grow, either for hay or for grain.
The methods and varieties which
have been found to be the best
adapted to Washington conditions
are described in detail in the

BULLETIN ON SCHOOLS

That there are 1866 schools in
thestate having less than 20 pupils,
~ districts with but 2 pupils and
six schools in which only one pupil is
enrolled, are some of the most strik-
ing facts brought out in a bulletin
on Consolidation of Rural Schools
and Transportation of Pupils"
just published by the Department
OF Education. This is a profusely
illustrated pamphlet, and has been
prepared by Mr.. J. M. Layhue, AS
slstant State Superintendent. Mr..
Layhue has made careful and ex-
haustive study of consolidation in
this and other states the results of
which he has compiled and tabulat-
ed in this booklet. The material
is accurate-much of it cleaned
from personal investigation and in
spection. The topical form is con-
else and the pleasant narrative
style is an additional merit.

GROWING FIELD PEAS

The State Agricultural Expert

cultivation. Two bulletins, giving
the results of these experiments,
have just been printed and are now.

WHEAT INVESTIGATIONS

The Chemistry department of
the State Agricultural Experiment
Station has recently finished very
CO mplete investigation of the COM
position and milling qualities of
Washington wheats. Beginning
with the crop of 1905, samples were
objected Of each years crop, from
all the different wheat.growing Sec
tions of the state, for five consecu-
tive seasons. The wheat from these
sampl les was analysed in the Station
laboratory, in order to show COM
parative food and feeding value of
the different varieties when grown
in different parts of the state.
Other portions of each sample were
milled in a small experimental
roller mill, and the yield of flour,
bran and shorts obtained. The
flour was then tested by both gluten
and baking tests, and it's value for
bread-making purposes determined.
Inasmuch as the samples were
taken during the five different
ye ars, and each season from all the
principal varieties grown in the
state, as we'll as from each of the
different wheat-growing sections,
the results of the Investigations
show definitely the comparative
milling value of Washington wheats,
and will serve to settle many of the
questions and disputes over this
important matter which are con-
stantly arising.
Three bulletins giving the re-
suits of these Investigations in de-
tail have been published. Bulletin
No. "a gives the results of the work
on the samples on the crop
of 1905; Bulletin No. 81, on
those of the crops of 1906 and 1907;
and Bulletin No. 100. on those of
1908 and 1909. The latter bulletin
al so shows the averages for the
entire five years. and the compare
tive value of the different varieties
and of the grain from different Sec
tions. Some explanations for the
differences in quality of different
wheats are also offered; and a de-
scription of a simple, inexpensive
apparatus by which any farmer or
miller can make tests of the quality
of wheat for himself. Copies of
these bulletins may be obtained free
of charge by writing to the Director
of the. Experiment Station, Pull
man, Wash.

The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-02

The annual city election will be
held next Tuesday, for the selection
of mayor, clerk, treasurer, attorney,
and four councilmen, to serve during
1912. Three councilmen hold over
from 1911. The only contest will
be the one for mayor, w. L. Sax and
DR.. A. B. Cook being the candidates
for this honor. At the primary cleo
tion held November Z, Sax won the
nomination by a small margin, but
since that time many more voters
have registered.
The only question at stake, out
side the individual preferences of the
immediate friends of the two candi-
dates, is whether or not sColville shall
have a socialist or republican for
mayor. AS a result of the election Of
w. L. Sax, socialist, two years ago,
Colville has been pointed out by the
socialists as socialist town, one of
the few in the country. In reality
the town is strongly republican, and
the inference that Colville is part
of the socialist bandwagon is not re-
ceived kindly by many of our resi-
dents. Colville had democratic
mayor eight years, then socialist
mayor two years, and it is being
urged that it is only fair to now Sc
lect republican, thus proving as a
fact the theory that Colville desires
to be non-partisan in its city cleo
tiOns.

dent Taft's new court, is, indeed, a
bitter pill. There is no doubt that
the interests which have controlled
President Taft from the time he
assumed the Office of president, fore
saw that the interstate commerce
commission could not be depended
upon to protect the railroads in their
unjust and discriminating charges
forever and that a new power must be
created. Taft was induced to es-
tablish Commerce court" which
has done nothing but protect the
trusts and undo the work that has
been accomplished by the interstate
railroad commission. In the sugar
trust lighterage cases, and the
switching charge outrage of the
Southern Pacific, President Taft's
commerce court stepped between
the special interests and their vic
tins and undid the work of the inter-
state commerce commission.

The result of the recent western
trip of Sam Blythe, political writer
of the Saturday Evening Post and
star bubble pricker of the country,
appears in the current issue of that
magazine.
Blythe's synopsis of the political
situation in the western states, the
object of his trip, deals largely with
local conditions in Washington. He
says in part:
washington is strongly insurgent
in a republican sense. The repub-
lican regulars will not tell you so,
but it is true just the same. The
old-timers say the state is disgusted
with the insurgent experiment 1t
made when it sent Poindexter to the
senate, but the mass of the people do
not reason that way and are not for
Mr.. Taft. Conservation of the re-
sources of the state is an absorbing
topic, as in Oregon, Idaho and else
where, and it is likely to have it's
effect on the political complexion of
the delegation. The Washingtonians
and the Oregonians are not strong for
the present system of conserving
their resources. They want to have
a hand in that business themselves.
"As elsewhere on the coast, Will
son is strongest with the people of
Washington, but the democratic pol
iticians are for Harmon. There is
little discussion as yet Of democratic
candidates and the democratic organ
ization in the state is nebulous. The
only concrete thing, as this was
written, was a Harmon organization.
Harmon himself Is due in Washing
ton in December. Wilson has been
there and was warmly received. The
old liners are not in a majority in
the state and there has been a recent
interest in the candidacy of Champ
Clark. AS it stands now, the chances
are that Wilson will get the delegates
as against Harmon"
Summarizing conditions west OF
the Mississippi, Blythe predicts that
the presidential delegates will be
divided between Taft and La Toilette.
He comedies the majority to Taft.
Taft will be nominated II he con-
tinues in his present attitude and de-
mands denomination. Taft will not
be reelected unless the democratic

No act of high-handed disregard
for the rights of the peop,e has cre-
ated so much distrust and open re-
bellion as the recent action of Presi-
dent Taft's Commerce Court" which
took from the interstate commerce
commission the right to fix rates for
Spokane and the western country and
has practically undone the work that
it has taken 20 years Of hard fighting
to accomplish, says. the Colfax Com
moner. Just as Spokane and the In
land Empire had within their grasp
the new rates which would give this
country almost an equal show with
coast points, the commerce court,
established by President Taft in his
great desire to make the administra-
tion one purely of court procedure
rather than justice and right,
granted in Injunction restraining the
interstate commerce commission from
putting into effect the new rates
which would have granted relief, to
an oppressed people.
The people Of Spokane, who have
fought for 20 years to obtain the re-
lief these rates would have afforded,
are up in arms. The Spokesman
Review, which led the fight for ter
minal rates. Is placed in a sad pre-
dicament. The newspaper is support
ing President Taft for reelection and
striving hard to secure some point
from which good things may be said
of the fat executive. and to have the
victory over which the Spokesman
Review has been growing for several
months, snatched from 1t by Presi-

The Chicago mail order con-
cern which offered 100 pounds of
sugar for 81 IL bought with an assort
ment of groceries, is now out of busi-
ness for while, the federal court
having taken hand in the game and
put the promoter behind the bars.
Mail order groceries are expensive at
the least-expensive to the purchaser
who seldom get first quality, ex-
pensive to the community which
loses the money from its business
houses, and sometimes expensive to
the mail order dealer when he finally
lands in jail for promising things
which he can not fulfill.

The "drys" say there Is more
liquor sold in wet" territory, and
that there Is the most crime, poverty
and irreligion. The "wets' say that
there is more liquor sold in dry"
territory, and that it is there that
there is the most crime, poverty and

So we see that the "wets" and
"drys" disagree as to where the most
liquor is sold, but that they agree
that wherever it is, 1t is the place
where there Is the most crime, pow
erty and irr ligion.

Colville or for Colville's inter-
