GOES AFTER TOURIST TRAVEL
Washington Will Urge 1915 Visit
ors to Come This Way.

Spokane Washington has started
preparations on large scale to obtain
visits from 100000 tourists and
visitors to the San Francisco exposi-
tion in 1915, the plans being in the
hands of committee representing the
commission in charge of this states
exhibits and buildings at the exposi-
ton. The commission will ask an ap-
preparation of 100000 for Washing
toms participation. They figure on
an attendance of 20, 000,0 at the ex-
position, and if 5,0OO,000 see Wash
ington's exhibits the cost Of present
ing this states advantages will be 10
cents per person. Waldo G. Paine, a
Spokane railroad official, who is chair
man of the transportation committee,
said: "Our plans will be devoted to
securing routings through Washington
either on the trip to San Francisco or
on the journey home. The Northwest
route isthe logical route for one way,
because by taking it tourists are able
to make the loop and see most of the
wonders of the United States. We
shall ask the railroads to issue 10 to
2O-day stopover permits good in this
state, thus enabling visitors to see
some of our beauty places and to in
vestigate the manufacturing, farming,
fruitgrowing and living possibilities
of Washington.

FANATIC HURLS BOMB AT
NEW VICEROY OF INDIA

Delhi, India-Baron and Baroness
Hardinge, viceroy and vicereine of
India, narrowly escaped assassination
by native fanatic while making their
ceremonial entry into Delhi, the new
imperial capital of India.
The splinters of the powerful bomb,
which killed one native attendant and
injured another, penetrated the back
and shoulders of the viceroy and he
was. also wounded in the neck by the
screws with which the bomb was filled
and which passed through his helmet.
The doctors Who removed the metal
splinters from the wounds declared it
was marvellous that the viceroy es-
capped fatal injuries.
Lady Hardinge Immediately after
the explosion asked her husband if he
was hurt. He replied: 81 am all
right. Go on"
Lady Hardinge then said:
eve cannot. There is a dead man
behind"
The elephant on which they were
riding halted and the viceroy tried to
stand up, but reeled and tainted and
the officials who gathered around had
much difficulty in removing him from
the elephants back. The howdah in
which he and Lady Hardinge had been
seated was blown to matchwood.

Wilson Somewhat Tagged Out.

Princeton, N. ]. -"I feel like a
squeezed SPONGE" exclaimed Presi-
dentelect Wilson when he returned
home after an all days session in
Trenton with the state board of par
dons, over which, as governor, he
presided.
Governor Wilson's attention was
called to the recent discussion of par
don systems in Arkansas and other
states, and he was asked whether he
preferred that the state executive
have full responsibility or that the
pardoning power be lodged in board
consisting, as in New Jersey, of the
governor and the chancellor and six
judges from the court of errors and
appeals. Though the governor has
the power of vetoing any application,
his affirmative counts no more than
that of the other members.
81 like the New Jersey system bet
ter" said Mr.. Wilson. II admire
verr much this court, as it is open
minded and certain to do the right
thing"

C0lville Chamber of Commerce Host
to Association.

Colville feature of the Stevens
county poultry show was the banquet
given in honor of the county poultry
association by the Colville chamber of
commerce at the Hotel Colville. L..
G. Keller, president of the chamber of
commerce, presided, and Oscar Mel
son, of Occur d'Alene, Idaho, who
judged the show, was the principal
speaker. Mr.. Nelson said that the
only industry in the United States
that leads poultry for the last year
was corn, and that more than $780,
900, 900 is invested in utility birds in
the Union. A. B. Willett, Of Middle
port, in his address said that he had
proved the fact to be that chickens
would hatch larger percentage of
eggs in this state than they would in
Indiana, the excess Of fertility being
40 per cent in favor of Washington.
Mr.. Nelson has been industriously
engaged in judging the exhibits
The attendance at the show was
much larger than expected and Mana
ger Ide says that it will be successful
from financial standpoint.

TEACHES DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Bows and Girls Learn Rudlments
of Home Duties.

Dayenport-Thatn no rural school on
it's march of progress should nesitate
to install a course in domestic science
because the teacher may be man mas
been demonstrated by an experiment
that has, according to County Superin-
tendent Neeley, worked out satlsfac-
torily and probably opened up new
branch of education the public has pc
lieved man to be incapable OF prop
erly handling.
Out in Egypt, 10 miles north OF
Davenport, S. Oliver, at one time a
teacher in Spokane county, is teaching
the girls how to sew and how to cook.
He is the only man teaching domestlc
science in Eastern Washington and
possibly in the state. When Mr. OH
yer took hold of the school, which mas
so pupils, be decided that with the CO
operation of the mothers Of the chill
dren domestic science course WOULD
be valuable adjunct to the currlcu-
lum. He accordingly induced the
school board to enlarge the building by
an addition 16 by "a feet, which also
allows for a physical training course
and manual training equipment.
'I teach the child first to thread a
needle" said Mr.. Oliver, in explain
ing his course in domestic science.
'sThey are then taught to back-stltch
and how to hold their needles and
cloth. In this manner the child quick
lv becomes interested in the work and
voluntarily tries for something more
difficult. | have made arrangements
with the women of the neighborhood
to the end that one of them comes to
the school every Friday afternoon and
instructs in fancy work.
The cooking equipment at the Egypt
school is limited, but the success OF
this venture has insured a complete
department soon. The man instructor
is teaching not alone the girls, but a
few of the boy pupils how to cook,
emphasizing the Importance of exact
proportions for well-cooked food.
"Simple measuring devices can be
secured cheaply and my class has
found that it pays to measure or weigh
all ingredients in food. We also test
the heat of our oven. The interest
shown in this branch of their educa-
ton has been surprising and believe
the department will be permanent
feature of the school, whether the in
structor be woman or man. | see
no reason why a man cannot teach
these things if he will apply himself. .
