STATE GRAIN CROP
is 37,e08,655 BUSHELS

Olympia, Jan. TN 1910 the Wash
ington grain crop amounted to $685.
655 bushels, according to the report of
the state grain inspector, filed with the
state railroad commission and the state
baord of control.
The crop is figured for the purpose
of permitting the board of control to
estimate the number of jute bags need
ed to handle the 1911 crop, as sacks
are made at the state penitentiary.
Of the total crop 25,301 900 bushels
are wheat; 1857 900 are oats, while the
barley crop amounted to 100000 BUSH
els.
Whitman county leads in the output
of wheat with 100000 bushels. Whit
man county has equaled the oat crop
of the famous Skagit valley, as its crop
of 100000 bushels is the same as that
of Skagit county.
Skagit and Whatcom counties are
the only ones on the West side men
toned in particular, as most of the
grain is raised on the East side.

WOULD PROHIBIT STRAW
BALLOTS AND THIRD DEGREE

Spokane, Jan. 7.-Prohibiting the
taking of STRAW" ballots by newspa-
pers or individuals is the effect of an
amendment to the present primary
laws of the state of Washington pro-
posed by Guy B. Croft, legislator-elect
OF Spokane, who thus defines his posi-
ton on the question:
"The publishing of the results of
straw ballots, showing one candidate
far in the lead, exercises an unwar-
rantable influence upon the chances
of others in the race. After the pri-
maries, when only two candidates are
running, the test is one of party
strength, and the straw ballot can
not have such pernicious influence"
Mr.. GOrff also declares that he will
seek to wipe out the third degree
by introducing an amendment, with a
view to restricting the Introduction of
confessions and admissions in Grimm
al trials. He said on this subject:
II have been told at the Spokane po-
lice station that I could not talk with
clients until the prosecuting attorney
had seen them. When a person is al
lowed to talk with prisoner he is in
separate compartment and can not
see the man with whom he is talking.
Il would return to the old law of
territorial days, which forbade the in
PRODUCTION of any alleged confession
or admission unless the prisoner made
it after being first fully informed of his
rights and the consequences of his act,
and through his attorney or some one
taking friendly interest in him."

CANADIAN REFINERY
TO BID FOR GOLD

Ottawa, Jan. Yukon and British
Columbia gold, in fact practically all
that is mined in Canada, has been 60
ing to American refineries, particularly
the assay Office at Seattle and the mint
at San Francisco. 1t is in view of this
that work has been rushed on a big
refinery at Vancouver.
Deputy Minister of Mines Haanel
has just returned from inspecting this
new refinery. 1t is completed and he
says has many late improvements.
Vancouver will now be able to take
the metal from the Yukon, and the
Canadian placer miner can now con
vert his gold readily into cash without
first having to send to the United
States.

ARRANGE FLOWERS HASTILY
A Little Thought and Time Alone
Necessary to Produce An Ar
tistic Effect.

A knack for arranging flowers may
be developed into great gift by the
girl who wishes to add to her per-
sonality the charm of varied accom-
plishments.
Even in elaborate establishments
the most exquisite and expensive hot
house blossoms are often poorly ar.
ranged They are left to servants
who are ignorant Of artistic effect
and SO lose half their beauty.
II girl has a pretty gift OF this
sort she may often have occasion tc
use it at weekend parties and so lift
a large item of worry from the har
assed mind of the house party hostess
and at the same time gain for her
self the reputation Of being a most
satisfactory guest.
At country houses where flowers
are brought every day from the hot
houses only little time every morn
ing need be given to seeing that the
vases are freshly filed and taste dis
played In their arrangement But II
one is staying In a simpler house
then more time is required for the
exercise of this happy gift, as the
flowers must be picked as well as ar
ranged.
If there is a clock and pair Of can
dlesticks or vases Of bronze on the
mantle. surround them with Ivy or a
groundwork Of caladium leaves, filled
in with the clusters Of pink dahlfas,
which must be put into small bowls
of water that are hidden by the
greenery. Or, remove the ornaments
and have seven white candles gradu-
ated in pyramid fashion, the tallest In
the center. Each candle must be
stuck firmly into small can filed
with sand and hidden by the foliage.
The floral arrangements should
conform with the candles, graduating
in pyramid STYLE. This arrangement
has q striking effect at night when
the same flowers are piled IN hbe
manner on the dinner table.
A more simple idea can be carried
out by filling shallow pan with wet
sand and Embedding the candles In
this. Then fill the pan with flowers
or merely asparagus fern in the CEN
ter with a border Of white, pink or
yellow chrysanthemums. set singly
and primly In.

STATE LOSING MILLIONS
ONITS SCHOOL LANDS

Seattle, Jan. THE state of Wash
ington is losing millions of dollars
through the sale of valuable state and
school lands that will enhance greatly
in value during the next few years, &C
cording to Chief Deputy County Audi
tor w. S. Lincoln, who contends that
the state could as well hold the land
and gather the profit by enhancement
as we'll as investors.
Appraised at 500.
Five years ago, according to the au-
ditor's records, sections 10 and 3, in
township 25, near Yesler landing, Lake
Washington, were appraised at 500 an
acre.
The state was asked to put up the
land for sale at that time by Seattle
man, and If the sale had been held the
land would have undoubtedly been
disposed of at the appraised value.
Litigation, however, delayed the sale
until November last, when the land
was sold at from $1,000 to $1,000 per
acre.
Delay Means Profit.
IF we could have delayed all our
state and school land selling for five
years the state would have been mil
lions of dollars gamer" said Mr.. Lin
coin.
1t is Mr.. Lincolns contention that
the state and school land is a rich
heritage to the people of the state
that the future alone will fully realize,
and that it is little short of crime
to place upon the market land at 500
to $50 an acre that will increase ten
fold in value within few years.

rcnaners received yesterday devote
ob enace to comments on the dis
ao+cbes regarding the inadequacy OF
~ pacific Coast defenses of the Uni
.od States. The Japanese editors pro
..,+ AGAINST the inference that Japan
: unfriendly to the United States.
CoIlating a number of comments, the
ribun Tsusnln, a Tokyo news agency
says;
Tt is strange but true that the fever
of Americaphobia supposed to be rife
IN Japan is not known in Japan"
The news agency says Japan will not
no swayed by sensational newspaper
rpnorts. but criticises them as likely to
canse i'll feeling between the two
countries. In it's disclaimer, the Eibun
Tsushin says:
at has often been pointed out that
America and Japan have disagreed
mon various points of interest of late
and that the policy pursued by Amer
lea for the last few years has serious
" affected the position of Japan in
the Far East and that if there is any
country for which Japan is making
her military preparations that country
is America.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. In spite of these superficial OBJ
sevations, it must be stated candidly
that Japan is not in a position to fight
against a foreign country, be it Amer
lea, or England or Germany. When
ever there are some points of discus
sion it has always been suggested by
Americans that the Japanese are a
fighting race and the interests of
America in the East and on the Pa
ciic will be crossed by the japanese.
Such is mere notion that has no DO
litical bearing with the real question
at issue.
While we admit that Japan and
America have great interests in China
these interests are of a commercial
character and will not affect in the
least degree the political and similar
positions commanded by both these
countries. What reason could there be
in advocating in any way a war be-
tween Japan and America? Foreigners
may be assured that Japan is neither
at present nor in the future in a fight
Ing mood because all the Japanese in
spite of the increasing population and
other considerations find the fact that
1t does not pay to fight with a country
which is superior in every respect to
her"
