To Help Backward Pupils.

Walla Walla-City School Superin-
tendent w. H. Kern in his annual re-
port to the board of education, recon-
mended that provision be made for re-
tarded pupils in ungraded classes.
Another portable schoolhouse was or
dered purchased and this will be
placed in the high school yard and
used for the backward students. Su-
perintendent Kern recommended en-
larged Fairgrounds and better ath-
letic facilities; establishment of jun
Tor and senior high schools, continu-
alton school where pupils may learn
trades; evening school on a more ex-
tensive plan than last year; assistants
for parent-teachers' associations; more
effective medical inspection through
follow-up records; annual garden con-
tests, and the organization of juvenile
civic leagues.

TO FIGHT LOW RATE RULING
Decisions Against Roads Only Be-
ginning of Struggle.

Washington, D. C.-The state rate
decisions which marked the session of
the Supreme court recently are re-
garded by some as merely the begin
ming of fight by the railroads against
low rates.
In each case where railroad failed
to sustain its claim that the state
rates were confscatory the Supreme
court specifically reserved the right of
the road to begin new proceedings.
This was true as to two roads in Min
nesota, twelve in Missouri and two in
Arkansas, where Justice Hughes said
the data on which the contention of
confscation was based was too general.
Whether any road can collect data be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion concludes it's valuation of all the
railroad property in the United States
sufficiently accurate to satisfy the
court that proper valuations have been
arrived at is a new question.

WHIRLWIND SNAPS BIG TREE
Kills Pair of Horses, Driver Hav.
ing Narrow Escape.

Davenport = Walter Van Horn, re-
siding II miles north of Davenport,
met with one of the most peculiar &C
cidents Sunday afternoon that has
probably ever happened to man, cost
ing him a team of horses. With his
two little children, Pearl and Murray,
aged 7 and 5, he was coming to Daven-
port by team, up the Sand Flat hill,
IL miles north of town, when a whirl-
wind struck them, breaking off large
tree, which fell directly across his
team, crushing the life out of one
horse and injuring the other so that it
had to be killed.
"The thing all happened so quickly
that l didn't have time to realize what
was going on" said Mr.. Van Horn,
"and while it is unfortunate that I
lost my team, l consider myself
mighty lucky that the tree didn't fall
a few feet further back, as then it
would have caught my little girl and
myself, who were sitting on the seat. -
There was practically no wind blow
ing at all. Though the whirlwind was
apparently no greater than is common
in this section, the tree was twisted
off as if it had been reed.

PALOUSE FARMERS ALARMED
Fear There Will Be Scarcity of La
Dor for Harvest.

Pullman - From all present pros
poets the farmers of this section will
be confronted with the greatest scar
city of farm help in several years
when the haying season opens. At
present it is almost impossible to hire
men for that class of work and there
is no indication that conditions will be
bettered as the busy season approach
es. Much trouble is being exper-
fenced at Snake river points to secure
enough men to handle the cherry crop,
which will be on in full blast in few
days. C. R. Moys, pioneer fruit
raiser of Almota, said that he had
been unable to secure help and might
be forced to let his cherry crop 60 un-
picked.
The large amount of street work
being done in Pullman is probably the
chief cause of this scarcity, over SO
laborers being at present employed on
the improvement contracts. This
work will continue all summer.

ASYLUM HEAD WILL REMAIN
Medical Lake Attendants, How
ever, May Be Removed.

Spokane changes that will be
made at Medical Lake hospital for the
insane as result of the board of con-
troll investigation, finished Tuesday,
depend largely upon the conclusions
that are being drawn from quiet in
spection of the place now in progress.
Public hearings have ended, but
Chairman Jones and Commissioner
Morse expect to resume examination
of patients in the institution. Radi-
cal revision of the hospital organiza-
ton will be ordered under any condi-
ton.
DR.. Sample will not be removed, it
is indicated by the boards attitude,
on the charges which have been
brought, unless Governor Lister is
looking for an opening. The board has
acknowledged his splendid business
management of the hospital and its
big farm.
The board probably will remove
three or four attendants now in the
institution. New regulations will be
established by which an attendant will
not be discharged for assaulting pa
tient, but will be turned over to the
prosecuting attorney.

WIDOW ASKS AID UNDER LAW
Chelan County Mother With Five
Children Will Get Help.

Wenatchee- Mrs. Andrew Nyren is
the first applicant in Chelan county for
benefits under the widows pension
act, which went into effect June ID.
She has five children to suppot by her

Make Heavy Timber Sales.

Tacoma, Wash.-The annual meet
ing of officers and stockholders of the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company was
held in this city Friday. The feature
of the session was the general man
agers's report of operations for the
last year. The transactions in timber
lands have been unusually heavy, said
Manager Long, exceeding the sales of
any year in the history of the COM
pany. The timber sold amounted to
close to 75O,OOO,OOO feet, distributed
between 40 and so mills. This, he
said, is more timber than the govern
ment records show was sold from the
United States forest reserves in Wash
ington, Oregon and California in the
corresponding time. These sales, he
said, refute the imputation that the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company is busy
tying up all the standing timber in
the country.

lOeHt OlSC1 O"SASs

minimum clause of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law eliminated in the house bill.

provide that when any nation discrim-
mates against the products of the
United States or imposes restrictions
on United States exports or, in the
opinion of the President, does not re-
ciprocate in trade relations, the Pres
ident by proclamation may suspend
certain rates and put in effect other
rates.
Only specified articles, it is under
stood. are to be included under the
terms of this amendment, and the
