KLOEbER WILL HAVE
HERD OF GUERNSEyS
President of State Fair Commits.
sion viii Procure Animals
This Fall

Yakima county Is to have a herd of
registered Guernsey cattle. 1t will be
esta blished this fall by DR.. J. S. Kloe-
Der. president of the state fair COM
mission and who has been one of the
successful Holstein breeders of this
valley and state. DR.. Kloeber sold his
Holstein herd some time ago to Will
liam Bishop of Chimacum, one of the
leading breeders OF the state but 1t
was not then his intention of aban-
doning the breeding game, He has
now decided to get back into 1t again.
For some time his attention has been
attracted by the Guernseys which he
believes, with the Holstens, will he
the dairy herds of the future.
Likes the Prospects
DIR. Kloeber is greatly impressed
with the dairy possibilities of the
Yakima valley and also is greatly i'm
pressed with the opportunities which
are opened up In the northwest for
the producer of pure bred stock OF
any sort. Because of q personal pref
erence he will make his new start
this fall with the Guernseys. It Is
not his intention to start In on any
elaborate scale so far as numbers are
concerned. probably buying at the
outset but six or seven animals but
he will insist that they he the best
and is prepared to pay big money to
get what he wants
In establishing his Guernsey herd
DR.. Kloeber will add another to the
registered herds in this valley. There
are now three registered Holstein
herds in Yakima county and one reg
istered Jersey herd established and
one or two others in process OF being
esta blshed.

A short time before this unfortu-
nate event, Mrs. Sander started dairy
ing, and after the loss of the -four
mill, she devoted her entire time to
thoroughbred shorthorn cows. she
crossed them with Holsteins and soon
had a herd of 35 The Sound mar
kets near at hand, her products had
a ready sale and the profits eventu-
ally permitted the hire of extra help
This latter was indeed welcome for
up to this time the entire farm work
had been done by the Sander family
Keeping a farm of 800 acres under
cultivation and at the same time
experimenting the works of the dairy
| business Mrs. Sander was a very
busy woman, and still, not contented
with the advancement she had made.
J she kept increasing her herd until
she had 102 cows. This compelled
her to hire extra help to the num-
Der of 81 men, and later she built
barn to house her entire herd
For the last 10 years, Andrew
Schultz, the Ellensburg ice cream
man, has bought all the cream. thus
saving her the expense of shipping.
The skinned milk is fed to the
calves and at the present Mrs. Sam
DIR realizes almost as much money
from her breeding cattle as from
those she uses in her own dairy.
Her average income is from So to s14
per month per COW, which proves the
class of the cattle
In previous years Mrs. Sander at
tended to all the irrigation on the
ranch herself, and recalls with amuse-
ment the days when she donned over
als, gum boots and a straw hat and
worked in the ditch. Once while in
this garb, she was accosted by a
ranch hand, who desiring employ
ment, asked the man" in the ditch
where Mrs. Sander was When she
disclosed her identity, the prospective
employee was nearly overcome.
And thus have things progressed
with this energetic woman, though still
in the prime of life, she has made a
success that Is envied by many a man,
and demonstrated what may be done
even by a woman in this wondrous
west.

JOHNSTON PAYS BACK
MONEY LOST BY HIM
Former Walla Walla Banker Hav-
ing Made Irrigation Success in
Egypt Comes Through

There are in North Yakima many
people who were personally acquaint-
ed with j. X. Edmiston, formerly a.
banker at Walla Walla who got into
financial difficulties a number of years
ago. Henry J. Snively of this city
was his attorney at that time and
many others here were interested IN
the man. Ebert Hubbard of East
Aurora, New York has something to
say regarding Edmiston the news of
which will be heard with interest by
the Washington friends Of the man.
1t is as follows:
An Honest Asconder
Eighteen years ago, at Walla Walla
Washington savings bank closed it's
doors. Its president was j. w. Edmin-
ston. He fled to Cairo, Egypt, where
the extradition laws could not Law
hands on him.
There, in the land where most of
our jokes originated Edminston set to
work. He developed a system of -ir-
rigation which has proved eminently
profitable. And now he has hunted
up, with the aid of detectives, every
individual who lost money through
the failure of his American savings
bank, and he is paving up every one,
dollar for dollar with interest added
Since she built her pyramids,
Egypt has built nothing but pyramids
of debt and monuments of dishonor
But the case of Edminston of Ameri-
ca seems to prove that the climate
is not to blame for the alleged dis
honesty of the Egyptian. who was
given black eye by Moses thirty five
centuries ago.
The belief is growing that not only
is honesty the best policy. but that
dishonesty is at time a sort of acct
dent and is the exception.
Edminston was not dishonest, in his
banking. He was simply unfortunate.
How about Walsh Of Chicago! No
one lost dollar by him. Had Walls
liked to Egypt he could have paid
up everybody, saved millions, and
escaped Leavenworth. As 1t is, he is
dead and his estate scattered
This is no argument for reckless
banking--it is just a comment on the
curious commodity called Justice, 3"

WHAT IS A BUSHEL
DECIDED BY COURT
Court of Customs Appeals Wipes
Out the United States
Standard

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--The United
States Court of Customs Appeals at
Washington has settled the problem
of What is an American bushel %
Incidentally, the court wiped out the
United States standard and with it
the New York state standard as well
as that of a score of other states.
The result of the decision is far
reaching and will affect apple and
pear growers, shippers and dealers
in all parts of the country.
The decision Of the court is that a
bushel of apples and pears should
measure 2.747.715 cubic inches, or a
"heapng measure while a bushel
of any other staple measures 2,150.42
cubic inches, known as the English
Winchester struck bushel The
latter measure has up to this decis-
ion been the accepted United States
standard, and as such has been adopt
ed by a number of states, including
New York.
Charles Weber, Jr., of 95 Park
place, this city, imported apples from
Ontario during 1910. The duty on
Canadian fruit is 25c bu. A gauger
measured the barrels when they ar
rived and the customs officers figured
Weber owed duty on $50 bu. He
claimed it should be 412 blu. and
pointed out the fact that the barrels
were not full since he could pour a
bushel of wheat in each before filing
up the spaces between the apples.
In brief. he did not propose to pay
duty on empty space in the barrel
He contended the fruit should be
weighed.
The appraisers ruling in Mr. We
ber's favor the customs officers ap-
pealed to the Customs Court. The de-
cision Thursday sustains Mr.. Weber
and the "heaping bushel' measure.
Many fine points were brought out in
the briefs and arguments.

CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
Lawrence Strike Conditions Will Be

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA con-

ditions at Lawrence will depend to-
night upon the reply of Gov. Foss Of
Massachusetts and President Golden
of the Textile Workers union, to
whom a Geographic demand for in

NO EIGHT HOUR LAW
FOR GIRL TYPISTS
Pierce County Judge Says Tie
Typewriter Girls Are Not a.
Mechanical Employment

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 24--S
ographers, typists and other
women in Spokane are fgur til.
up in arms over the decision -
Judge Chapman in the Pierce county
superior court, who ruled in a test
case of the eight-hour law that a
woman who operates a typewriter is
not a mechanic, even though employ
ed in a mechanical esta blishment.
Not that they desire to he classed as
mechanics, but to guard against longer
hours they may organize a union.
There is also talk of forming an
eight-hour office workers federation
throughout Washington. with branch
offices in Seattle, Spokane. Tacoma
and cities in central Washington, to
lobby at the next session of the legis-
lature for an amendment to the fol-
lowing section OF the state law. which
formed the basis of Judge Chapman's
opinion:
mo female shall be employed in
any mechanical or mercantile estab-
lishment, laundry, hotel or restaur-
ant in this state more than eight
hours a day"
Law Ia Not Violated
Judge Chapman held that an Of
flee separate from the place in which
manufacturing or other mechanical
operations are carried on Is not it.
self a manufacturing establishment,
hence Louis II. Bean, the defendant,
did not violate the law by working
stenographer more than eight hours
a day. The court ruled that the test
of the law was not so much the ma
ture of the service, as the question
whether or not it was rendered in a
mechanical establishment.
Managers of the larger offices in
Spokane declare there is no plan on
foot to increase the working hours
of office help, saying also that stem
ographers employed in local manu-
featuring, mercantile and office
buildings have never worked more
than eight hours a day. even before
the state law was enacted a year ago.
