STATE FAIR AUCTION
PLAN IS APPROVED
Prosser Man Write Commencing
the Suggestion Made by
HI. Stanley Coffin

Mr. Stanley Coffin's suggestion Of
a clearing house sale of stock and
machinery and everything else at the
state fair this fall meets with the
approval of number of ranchers in
various parts of the valley. One of
those who has written in with refer
ence to the development of the idea
is C, @. Baker, of Prosser, of the
Baker Investment company. He says:
Il have read Mr.. FL. Stanley Coffin's
suggestions in the Morning Herald,
relative to auction sales In the fair
grounds during the week of the fair.
Having had ii wide experience along
these lines in the East and middle
West, | fully agree with Mr.. Coffin
In all that he has said on this subject.
The additional expense of preparing
for these sales would be very nominal,
then it would add largely to the at
tendance every day, and would bring
hundreds of buyers and sellers togeth-
er that would not come to the fair
for other attractions. / think, as does
Mr. Coffin, that a grand roundup
should be made at their fair this fall,
and see no reason why several hun
dred head of live stock should not
change hands, and both buyer and
seller be benefited. l hope to see
this matter injected into and made a
part of our state fair next fall.'
Other citizens have taken the same
point of view and there is a consid-
cradle feeling that much of practi-
cal value can be added to the fair by
such a department. Mr.. Coffin has
already talked the idea to a number
of leading business men who see merit
in the proposition and he will present
it to the members of the state fair
commission.

The scientific method of buying
coal. not by weight, but by thermal
value, is likely to be adopted by the
st. Paul city government. The "B. T.
u" system, it is called, the initials
standing for British thermal units.
The school board estimates that Il
will save 6 per cent, or $500, on
5000 tons, the years consumption.
Many railroads are buying their coal,
not for what it weighs, but for what
it can do.-Springfield Republican.

STORIES ON INVESTIGATION
DO NOT JUSTIFY BELIEF

All sorts of railway construction

the present time and are receiving

About the Railroads

l Us to shorten it's line in the Yakima
kCanyon, to build through to the CO.
lumbia river to construct from Top
F-penish to White Swan and probably
Fback to Parker. The Milwaukee, it
IDS said, will come into this valley and
the rumor is that it WIN come by way
lsof. the reservation. These same ru-
Ismors have the street railway people
building through the Selah and We
; mas valleys to EllensDurg, extending
/ their Wide Hollow and Mob Hill
dimes, constructing into the Mckee
and making a shoot into the reser-
sVation. Then of course there is the
donald extension into the Cowiche

s7he measure.
RumOrS Won't Hold Water
While it is possible to name men
who know the details of all this con-
struction, also men who know that
Jim Hill controls the Hartman road
and has his agents here taking freight
away from the Northern Pacific, the
fact of the matter is that the greater
number of the rumors won't hold wa
ter even in the smallest corner.
George Donald, who at least might be
expected to know, says he thinks
there will be but little construction
of any sort this year. n. c, Richards
of the electric line says his people
have in contemplation the Selah eX-
tension, but nothing else Northern
Pacific officials know of nothing eX-
cept a few miles of new rails on the
old roadbed. O.W r. & y. folk
cannot say whether there will be con-
struction on their line west from
Yakima or whether there will not be.
Time is Limited
For the sake of those who really
expect to see railroad construction it
may be said that the federal govern
ment has given until May 1st TO the
promoters of the Toppenish-Whit
Swan line to do their construction and
il Is therefore likely that the reser-
walton will see the bulk of the early
activity.
Announcement has been made in

COLONIST TRAVEL TO
BE HEAVY THIS SEASON
Railroads Are Preparing to Garry
More People to Northwest
Than Ever Before

SPOKANE. Wash. Jan. 19.-Colo-
mist travel on all lines to Washing
ton, oregon, Idaho and Montana from
eastern points this spring will be
much larger than last year, accord
ing to Howard A. Noble. of St. Paul,
general passenger agent OF the Great
Northern Railway company, who is
in the Northwest on his first official
visit. While here he said:
Business is generally good in the
passenger department. showing in
creases over last year. OF course, il
is quiet in some spots. but the good
crops of 1911 gave the farmers a lit
tie extra money. Many inquiries are
being received from persons interest
ed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana.
Heavy Coionist Travel
The indications are for ii heavier
colonist travel this spring. This is
probably due 10 the crops of 1917 AZ.
to the advertising through the west
ern governors special train which
traversed all over the east. The land
shows also greatly exploited the
country.
Demand for Small Farms
81 look for an increased demand for
small farms, 10 to 20 acres, nearer
the larger towns and cities this ar.
There is much inquiry for logged
off lands and tracts that can be used
for dairying and poultry raising
where small orchards can be set out.
Many working people in the east,
with small savings. are making these
inquiries, and it is our aim 10 get
these people to come west and To-
cate We have our exhibit car trav-
cling through Indiana and Ohio now,
and instead of having it make stops
in the larger cities as heretofore, are
having the car stop at towns of from
500 to 1000
Last Years Rates
while it is not definitely settled,
! look for a establishment on all
transcontinental lines of last years
colonist rates, based on $S3 from
Chicago to Pacific coast points and
SIS from st. Paul. This is one of
the matters to be discussed at the
next meeting of the association"

JUDGE DUNDON BACKED
TO OPPOSE CANTR|LL
Leading Democrats in Bourbon
County Are Considering His Name
With View of Giving His Support.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2.-The
name of Judge Dennis Dundon, of
Paris, Bourbon county, is being con-

lin county. as Il candidate for the
nomination fer Congress to succeed
j. Campbell Cantrill, in case the
District Committee rescinds its call
call for Mr.. Campbell's snap primary
on the 10th of March.
Judge Dundon has many friends in
Franklin county and within the past
5hree days leaders of the Democracy.
whose sole desire is to see the Ash
land District kept up to It's time
honored standard in representation
and to its old-time Democratic ma
jorities, have been considering his
name with view to giving him the
support of the county If possible
,I,.lo:..,Io1 TIE a:.,p p..-r-.;2c-..;- Is rc-
scinded or not if he will consent to
become a candidate.
Judge Dundon is one Of the most
popular among the younger Demo-
orot. Of fbn Ni-trict His ma iorltIpS
as County Judge in Bourbon have
been an index in his popularity at
home and his political record Is
straight. In the prime of vigOr-
Gus manhood. with an eloquence that
seems to have inherited and
an inteslity that has never been
questioned he would make a strong
candidate. say his friends here.

GROUND HOG
IS BLUFFED
Doesn't Dare Stick His Nose Out
of His Hole, After One First Peep.

If there is such thing as the
weather being rough enough to bluff
our weather prOgnosticator, the
ground hog, into staying in his n.y.
bernal observatory. he never put in
his appearance today.
Even is the sun had not been shin
ing one look at the conditions on the
surface of terra firma would cause
him to duck for several days, if moi
for several weeks.
We are as down hearted as the
hog about the weather and a great
deal bluer. especially if we brave the
north and west winds that now pre-
vail. If Our swinish friend shifts so
much cold in the air that there is
danger Of his snout getting frost
bitten, he hybernates again. for we
suppose he is enough like other hogs
to want to root, and we do not be-
ieve he prefers roofing in the snow.
On the whole, the indications are
that we will have six weeks more bad
weather for we are quite sure that
the badger will not brave the ele-
ments even if the sun had not been
shining. The ground hog is a
fighter in his den for he will whip
the gameSt bull terrier: but in the
open air he is soon overcome. And
of course he would prefer battling
with the elements in his underground
home.
/ am not the least bit skeptical In
regard to the traditions that have
been handed down by our ancesors
for In fact we lose much Of life if
We do not believe in them. Moth
ing helped our early settlers any
more than this particular.
If the sun shone ont that day they
buttoned their homemade jeans
coats the tighter and with renewed
determination passed the remainder
of the winter. If the day was cloudy
preparations were begun for spring
work. and the whole upshot of the
business is that they prophesied the
weather about as well as we. with all
our modern apparatus.
