thrown Off from the body.
Like the ships that sail the sea. each

turns with another one. Some OF these
cells perform the office of special re-
pairers, forcing their way through the
walls OF the blood vessels and pene-
trating the tissues In order 10 perform
their special tasks.
There are several other kinds OF cells
In the blood besides the carriers just
mentioned. There are the wonderful
soldier and police cells. which maintain
order and fight battles when necessary.

Many Teachers Anxious to Study Ag-

Pullman - The State college has
assurance of interest on the part of
teachers in counties of Western Wash
ington, which assures the advisability
of holding a summer session at Puy-
allup, to be devoted to instruction of
a character designed to fit teachers to
teach agriculture, horticulture, and
allied subjects in their schools. Pres
ident Bryan received letter from c.
H. Palmer, secretary of the Elma
Commercial club, which indicates that
from 20 to rs teachers of Chehalis
county would attend such summer
school if offered at Puyallup, which is
the seat of the Western Washington
experiment station of the college.
The urgent demand for more teach
ers of agriculture, horticulture and
similar subjects in the rural schools,
has lately given rise to urgent re-
quests that the college offer at Puy-
allup this summer a six weeks session
in agriculture and horticulture for
teachers.
Communications lately received ex-
press the belief that 300 teachers of
Western Washington would attend
such school.

coMLlTz READY FOR YEAR.

Fruit and Produce Association Plans
Big Season IN Whole County.
Kelso-With the opening Of the new
warehouse and Office Of the Cowlitz
Fruit & Produce association, the sea-
sons work in marketing and shipping
Of Cowlitz valley produce has begun
here. Contract forms have been
mailed to $50 farmers in the Kelso
district. Cecil G. Stephens, president
Of the association, says that this is
the only active organization Of its
kind in the Lower Columbia river val
ley.
The association has the advantage
of being ready for the marketing end
of the business, as their warehouse is
easily accessible to the freight and ex-
press depots, as well as the river
docks. A special rate has been made
by the express companies on fruit
shipped to canneries. The growers
already have received some f1attering
offers for their fruits, one of which
means return of $500 per acre on
Bartlett pears alone. Opportunities
for the successful culture of straw
berries are excellent, not only on ac-
count of the adaptability of the soil,
but because this district is free from
the "crown borer" pest.
The Bartlett pear is the favored
fruit in this section, since Senator
Paulhamus made the association an
offer of $50 per ton for the fruit, con-
tainers furnished.

REJECT RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Army Engineers Put Quietus on Upper
Columbia Plans,

Washington, D. C.-In report to
Congress, the Army engineers board
reports adversely upon the proposed
Improvement of the Columbia River
between the mouth of the Snake River
ion that commerce, present and pros
pective, would not justify the costly
project which would be necessary to
open this stretch of river to continuous
navigation.
This stretch is 147 miles long and all
but II miles is now navigable for
steamers drawing from three to four
feet of water. The principal obsta-
cles are Rock Island and Priest Rap
ids Canal construction will be neces-
sary, report the engineers, to over
come these rapids.
Early in their investigation the en-
gineers became convinced that the
cost of these canals would not be JUS
titled solely in the interest of naviga-
ton, so the district engineer consid-
cred the coordination of navigation
and water power development, with a
view to reducing the cost. He pre-
sented several alternative plans, but
gave preference to one which contem-
plates the construction of single lock
at Rock Island Rapids, at an esti-
mated cost of s1,910,000, including the
installation of an electric power plant
at the dam, the construction of three
locks to surmount Priest Rapids, at
an estimated total cost of $5,050,000,
including the power plant; the re-
moval of boulders and clearing the
channel and other necessary open
river channel work, making $7,025, 900

CUT DOWN BILLS.
Secretary Macveagh Would Reduce
Size of Paper Money.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh will recon-
mend to congress soon that the paper
money of the United States be sub
stantially reduced in size and every
denomination made uniform in design.
It is contemplated to make all notes
6 by % inches, a reduction Of one
third in size, the present dimensions
being 1928 by 3.O4 inches. The pro-
posed plan would reduce the number
of designs for United States notes and
gold and silver certificates from 10 to
9.
MacVeagh estimated that the
changes would result in saving of
more than 5000, 900 annually.
The secretary of the treasury could
make the innovation with respect to
the United States notes and certifi-
Gates without congressional assent,
but it requires legislative authority to
change the design Of the national bank
notes. A uniform national bank note,
instead of the multiplicity Of designs
now in use by the 1000 banks, will be
proposed. The name or a number des-
ignating each individual bank, it is
said, could be printed on the notes by
a process separate from the engraving
Of the plate.

Washington, D. president Taft,
through the department of the inter-
ior. has started in Systematically to
withdraw from entry small tracts of
land in the arid and semi-arid regions
on which are found springs and small
streams, known to stockmen as IVA
ter holes.
This is q new phase of the Taft idea
of conservation with use.
These water holes, when with
drawn, are to be retained by the gov
eminent, but are to be kept open for
the use and benefit of all who may ap-
ply, and the policy is intended to pre-
vent the big stock men from getting
control of these infrequent watering
places and by this means virtually
controlling vast areas of the public
range, to the exclusion of the small
stock men.
