ton of two miles of state aid road,
beginning at the south end of the
improved road which is a continual

TRACK WORK STARTS i,
At HIGH SCHOOL
Debate With Tekoa Will Re Held
Here On Friday Evening,
April II

Track work was begun Monday by
the high school boys. On account
of the weather practice started later
than usual this year. The college
field, where the boys usually prac-
tice, is still wet so they are using
the high school campus at present
The outlook for track is yet uncer-
tain as only four of last years stars
are in school, and new material Will
have to be developed. But there is
plenty of material and under the
efficient direction of Coach Hinder
man a good team will no doubt be
turned out. The first meet will oc-
cur here with the Lewis and Clark
high school of Spokane and the pre-
paratory department of the college.
The other meets will be the tr1angu-
lar meet with Genesee and Lewiston,
the county meet, and dual meet
with Colfax.

PROFITABLE CROP
OF FIELD PEA SEED
w 5. c. Experiment Station FILLS
Large Order for the Department
of Agriculture

The w. S. c. experiment station
thls week shipped the agricultural
department, Washington, d. c.. a
ton OF field pea seed to be used for
seed on the various government ex-
perlmental farms A former shin
ment OF a full carload of the seed
was sent from the station previous
u the ton shipment. The peas are
put up in small sacks and these are
placed in larger sacks bearing the
college stamp.
Feas on the station farm last year
yielded an average of 40 bushels TO
the acre, and the price paid by the
government was $3.50 per bushel.
making the value of the crop 500
per acre. The staff of the station has
FOR several years advocated the rails
ing of field peas by the farmers in
stead of summer following the land.
especially if the farmer has stock to
which the peas can be fed, as they
are claimed to have greater fattening
qualities than any other forage
raised
There is large demand for field
peas but the station has a contract
with the government for all the peas
grown on the Pullman farm, the
Pullman seed being pronounced by
the experts as of exceptional quality.

NOTABLE PICTURES
At STAR THEATRE
kalem's From the Manager to the
Cross" VIII BE Shown Next
Saturday and Monday

The cinematograph reproduction
of the life of Christ in the authentic
locations in Palenstine and in Egypt
required an extensive knowledge of
not only the New Testament and the
legends, customs and history of that
time, but also the director must
know the general conception the
public has of the four gospels.
Artists, sculptors and painters of all
time have drawn inspiration from
the story of the lowly Nazarene, Ka-
lens film story, From the Manger
to the Cross" includes many scenes
that are motion" reproductions of
the greatest paintings. The Kalem
company sent company of moving
picture actors and camera operators,
under the direction of Sidney Olcutt,
for years work in Egypt and Pal
estine. The primary object of this
trip was to make a moving picture of
the life of Christ. Many other pic
lures were made, but the main pur-
pose, during 2 months of hard work
on the deserts of Egypt and in the
wilderness of Palestine, was the pho
tographing of life of Christ. Be-
sides the regular Kalem company
of about 20, large number of the
natives and 10 noted actors from
London, England, were employed
The difficulties to be overcome were
not confined to the climate and the
primitive methods of transporta-
ton. The picture makers were con-
stantly under the protection of
troops furnished by the Turkish gov
eminent while in Palestine. In Egypt
the Kedive and the English authori-
ties co-operated in every way. In
the Holy Land the fierce Bedouin
pirates of the desert are a constant
terror to all travellers.
The films, when completed, were
shown at private exhibitions in both
England and America, to ministers
and other educators. Wherever
shown the pictures were a success
and won the approval of the most
critical.
The film From the Manager to
the Cross" is not a Passion Play"
The Passion Play is dramatic
production of the life and passion of
Christ. The Manager to Cross" pic
ture is an authentic history of the
life of Christ. The Kalem picture
IL photographed in black and white.
Pathe's Passion Play is hand col
ored picture produced in a studio.
The Kalem picture will be exhib-
tied at the Star theater Saturday
and Monday, April and z. On Sat
urday the pictures will be shown at
both the matinee and evening exhi-
bition. The pictures will be ex-
planned in a lecture by Rev. A. B.
Clark. There are five reels of film
III this picture. Each reel holds 1000
feet. Each foot of film is made up
OF 16 separate and complete photo
graphs just about the size of the
new postage stamps Each of the
tiny photographs is in turn flashed
upon the screen at the rate of 10
to 18 pictures per second. The rapid
succession of Still pictures make
a moving picture. One hour and
twenty minutes will be required to
exhibit the five reels of pictures.

JUDGE KEENAN, FINDS
{. N. SWEGLE IS DEAD
Long Contested Life Insurance Case
Is Decided in Favor of Plaintiff,
L. B. MatlOck, Formerly OF
This City

A very interesting and hard fought
lie insurance case has just been de-
cLded by Judge KEENAN, of Spokane
III favor of 4. E. Matlock of this
city, who was represented by Attor-
ney ID. &. Dow. The case originated
from the mysterious disappearance OF
Edwin Nj. Swegle on August ), 1901.
SWegle was a young, unmarried
man who was engaged in farming
near Steptoe. He was "a brother-in-
law OF I. b. Matlock aud had been
reared as a member OF the latter's
family. SWegle had taken out
life insurance policy for $4,000 with
the Woodmen of the World and had
named Mr.. Matlock as his benefici-
airy. About the LIST of August, 1901,
he gave mortgage on his ranch to
raise money with which to build
house and went to Spokane to see
about buying lumber. On August 3
he appeared at the home of a half
had fallen in with a couple of strang-
ers in Spokane who had invited him
to come to Seattle with them and had
given him ticket. He stated that
he expected to go back to Spokane
that afternoon, but promised that if
he did not go he would come back
nil
tives. He then had about $1100 in
cash on his person.
From that moment Swegle
dropped out of sight and it is sup
posed that he met with foul play
On December IA, 1910, Mr.. MatIock
started suit against the head camp
O. the W. o. W., Pacific Jurisdiction,
for the amount of the insurance
policy The organization offered
three lines of defense: First, that
SWegle is not dead; second, that if
he is dead, he died after January,
1905, at which time payment of pre-
miums on his policy stopped; third,
the policy had not been instituted
within the statutory limitation of six
years.
The case was tried before Judge
KEENAN, in May, 1912, but he held
it under Amusement for 10 months
before rendering his decision, in
which hp said in ri.
1T appears from the testimony
that Swegle, member of the w.
o. W., disappeared on or about Aug
ust 3, 1901, under circum stances in
dicating death as the cause of such
disappearance. That search was
made for him and no tidings have
ever been heard of or from him since
about August 3, 1901. More than
seven years having now elapsed since
the date of his disappearance, he is
legally presumed to be dead.
"Swegle probably died before
January, 1905. The presumption of
death did not arise until the end
of the seVen-year period, to-wit,
August 3, 1908. The statute of
limitations did not begin to run I'M
til August 8, 1908. The plaintiff is
entitled to recover as prayed for"
1T appears from tibet testimony
$4,000, but the interest and costs
will bring it up to about $4,000.
Attorney Dow is preparing a judg-
ment in accordance with the deci-
sion, but the case may be appealed
to the supreme court.
