Timely Arrival AvertS Bad Blaze

The timely arrival on the scene OF
County Commissioner NJ. w. Whit
low last Saturday probably saved that
gentleman a serious loss by fire. Mr..
Whitlow had occasion to visit de-
serted cabin on his property about
two miles east of Pullman and on
entering the place discovered a good
sized blaze. The entire family was
pressed into service to carry water
and the flames were soon extinguish-
ed. 1t is thought that the fire was
started by children who had been
playing in the cabin, and but for the
arrival of Mr.. Whitlow a serious fire
would undoubtedly have resulted, as
the cabin is located near a large
grain field

Condition in Western Whitman

j. e. Nessly made a trip by auto
mobile through the western part OF
Whitman county Tuesday, visiting
st. John, Rock Lake, Willada and
Diamond. He says harvest is well
under way there and the wheat is
turning out about % to 80 bushels
per acre. Most of the grain is being
cut with headers. There was a heavy
rain in the vicinity of Willada Tues
day afternoon and in places it was al
most a cloud-burst, flooding the low
lands, washing out the roads and roll
ling great boulders down the hill
sides, while the Pleasant Valley
branch of the O.-W. r. & n. was COW
cred with water in several places.
The storm covered a narrow strip
many miles in length.

FIRST NEW WHEAT
SELLS FOR SIXTY-SIX CENTS
VIM. Chambers Purchases First New
Wheat Sold in Pullman This
Season. Fortyfold Variety
and Brings 68c. Who
win Win the Hat?

VIM. Chambers yesterday purchas-
ed the wheat crop of the Empire
Land Co, in the neighborhood of
5000 bushels, and has the distinc-
ton of having purchased the first
wheat of this years crop sold in Pull
man. The grain was sold by E. w.
Mccain, representing the company,
and the price was 66c per bushel
the wheat being of the Fortyfold va
riety.
Later in the day c. A. Price, local
agent for the Ford Grain Co, pur-
chased the Lacey crop of 1000 BUSH
els of Fortyfold, the price paid being
66c per bushel
The Herald several weeks ago
secured estimates from each of Pull
mans grain buyers on the opening
price of the four standard grades of
wheat and offered a $500 hat to the
buyer whose estimate proved most
nearly correct. AS FoTtyfold is the
only variety that has so tar been
sold in this city this season nobody
yet has a cinch on the head gear. The
estimates on Fortyfold ranged from
Ga to "A cents and several of the
buyers estimated pretty close to the
CSC mark, U. G. LAWYERS guess be-
ing only half a cent off, and that of
T. w. Amos one cent over the mark.
The first price paid for the other
three grades of wheat, however, may
change the status of affairs and put
some other buyer in the lead, as the
dealer whose estimates on Red Rus
sian, Club, Fortyfold and Bluestem
average closest to the price paid for
the first lots of these kinds of grain
will be awarded the prize

SENATOR MAY Be
NAMED IN MARCH
Governor Has Not Decided When
He Will Appoint for New
Term.

!. No decision has as yet been reached
oY Governor Mann is to the appoint
mcnt Of United States Senator to
begin the new term on March :. to
which the late Senator John w. Daniel
was elected last winter. The term
which Is now being served by Senator
Claude a. Swanson is the Old one to
which Senator Dpnel was elected by
the Leg slaturc OF 1904.
lr case there is an extra session OF
Congress. the Governor, 1t Is almost
certainly presumed. would appoint at
once. so that tho State might have full
Representations. In these days Of In
surSent Republicanism one vote might
be OF extreme Importance in the Senate.
and within the past few days lines
have been drawn to tie in the upper
House OF Congress.
Whether or not an extra session s.
held, the Governor may appoint on
March for the new term. as he may
deem best. If he does SO, the appoint
ment stands until thirty days after the
assembling OF the Legislature Of 1912.
II mas been suggested that he would
wait until after the September pri-
mary and then name the choice Of the
majority OF the Democrats of the State,
but no decision has been reached on
this point
