Studying Vacations for Women

A study of the renumerative voca-
tons open to women of superior educa-
tional training is recent undertaking
at the State College. the object in view
being to widen the knowledge of
the women students concerning the
different desirable occupations which
they may follow for a livlihcod; and, in
a measure, to answer the question, Is
the woman of today making good2"
Last week, at the call of Miss Rhoda
M. White, Dean Of Women, voca-
tional conference was held at the col
lege. Eight principal speakers were
present. One was an interior decora-
tor, one a photographer, one libra
rian, one a pure food specialist, one a
newspaper writer, one a teacher OF
stenography and business, one voca-
tional director. All were women, and
each asserted that with a sufficiently
broad educational basis for her vocation,
the woman OF today could certainly
make good in many we'll salaried voca-
tons.
Miss White is assembling data from
upwards OF two hundred women Of the
state and Northwest. who are engaged
in important vocations, in the further
ance of plans for the women's yoca-
tional conference which will be again

The Woman of the SHOWS

On Deming Glacier, Mt. Baker,
Whatcom county, Washington, is
found the famous Woman of the
Shows" perfect female profile formed
by the confguration of the ice and
surmounted by a modish picture hat.
With the advance of the season the
outlines OF this impressive figure
change only with respect to the milf
merry; in April the Woman of the
Shows" wears an automobile veil Of
flmy white, which very properly is
laid aside during the warm summer
months. Thousands of pictures have
been taken of the Woman-no two
are alike, yet the face is always pre-
sent and possesses the individuality
and character Of features of flesh and
blood.

G. N. to be Made Snow Proof

Operations have already begun on the
summit of the Cascades to make the
Great Northern the safest of all lines
crossing this barrier in the state of Wash
ington. Activity equal to that on the
construction OF the up-river branch will
be in evidence on the summit all sum-
mer. Two of the largest contracting
firms in the world have been given the
huge task of building miles and miles Of
concrete snow-sheds, changing the grade
in places and boring new tunnels to avoid
dangerous places, the worst of which is
at Windy Point, where a 1900 foot
tunnel will eliminate one of the most
dangerous points.
Grant, Smith & Co., the concern that
is boring tunnel under the Hudson
river to furnish New York City with
water supply, was given the first con-
tract by the railway company for this
Cascade job. Last week similar con-
tract was let to Guthrie, McDougall &
Company. The two firms have been
given carte blanche to spare no ex-
pense in rendering the Great Northern
proof against any further delays or dan
gers from snowslides or snow blockades
in the Cascades.
All the work must be done between
now and snowfall; hence every prepare
ton is being perfected in order to
avoid possibility of delay from any
causes whatsoever. Contractors must
leave the work finished on October IS
at the latest. The railway company
does not want to endure the expense
direct and indirect occasioned last win
ter by the storms and consequent
slides. The cost in loss of traffic and
fighting the elements was enormous,
beyond calculation. Besides, the line
suffered greatly by fear created in the
public mind.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING ON
INCREASE IN WASHINGTON
Inland Empire Farmers Are Waking up
to the Fact that There are Other
Things Besides Apple Raising

Reports received by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce indicate grow
ing tendency to diversity farming in
many parts of the Inland Empire.
Increased attention to the raising OF
chickens, cattle and hogs is reported
by Secretary Gordon c. Corbaley OF the
chamber. 1t is estimated that for
several years 100 carloads Of eggs were
imported annually into Spokane from
the east. These shipments continued
until 1912, when the importation of
eggs dropped to IS carloads, due to
the large increase in the number en-
gagged in the industry in the Inland
Empire.
Similar advance has been made in
dairying," states Mr.. Corbaley. Many
farmers who formerly kept but one cow
now have from ten to forty, and are
selling the milk and cream. The
steadily increasing demand for dairy
products and the quick returns real
lied by the farmer for this class of
products have convinced many Of our
progressive farmers that they can in
crease their profits materially by keep
ing cows. One Spokane firm reports
the sale of more cream separators in
the last so days than in the preceding
two years.
"A new company organized in Spo-
kane anticipates supplying thousands
of silos to Inland farmers during the
next few years. The large increase in
corn acreage the last two or three
years seems to justify the expectation
of the men who have invested their
money in this concern. I am told that
the state of Washington has approx
mately 200 silos, while Nebraska has
100000. This seems to me to dem
onstrate the possibilities for future de-
velopment of our agricultural resources
in the Inland Empire.

Living Lowest in 1896; Highest in 1912

According to United States investi-
gators, the crest of the wave of high
prices was reached and passed in the
latter part or 1912. The comparisons
went back to 1896 as the low cost av-
erage, and the country was divided in
TO FIVE geographical divisions, North
Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Cen
trail and South Central, and Western.
The cost of a years food supply for an
average working mans family was $500
in 1896 and S466 in 1912, in the
North Atlantic division, and lowest in
the Western-S277 in 90, and 1929
in ~. So the increase of such liy-
ing cost in these divisions in the II
years was 800, in the North Atlantic
division or East, and 1852 in the
West.
The lowest period extended to 1890,
so that in 1912 we had the highest
average prices of living for % years.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
has made a recommendation to Con-
gress that a reasonable duty on grain
and grain products be maintained as a
measure OF protection for the farmers
of Washington and adjacent states
from the competition of cheap lands
in Western Canada. The report de-
clares that this should be an equalizing
duty as between grain and grain pro-
ducts so as to protect the Touring
mills against the Canadian and espe-
cially the Japanese mills.

More than $4,000 in cash and agri-
cultural implements will be distributed
to the farmers Of Washington, Oregon
and Idaho at the corn shows to be con-
Quoted next December at Colfax and
Pendleton by the Oregon Washington
Railroad and Navigation Co. 1t has
been decided to give cash and useful
articles to be used on the farm in
place of the cups usually given. The
premium list for the corn show events
has been prepared. Free seed corn is
being distributed to the farmers living

In the testimony submitted to the
royal agricultural commission at Vic
toria, B. c., statements were made
that Oregon and Washington eggs,
fruits and vegetables are driving the
market farmers OF British Columbia
out of their own markets in Victoria,
Vancouver and New Westminster. It
was stated that the American ex-
porters sent in such a large amount of
produce and at such prices that the
local growers had to fight losing bat
tie. The result, it was declared, is
that tons and tons of fruits and vege-
tables rotted in the field of the pro-
vince. Training OF English boys in
agriculture under the auspices of the
government to secure first class la
borers and render the cost OF produc-

NEGRO LYNCHED
IN MISSISSIPPI
Taken From Jail Where He Was
Placed on the Charge of Having
Murdered White Lady.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESs.

Houston, Miss, Feb. ANDREW
Williams, 35, negro was lynched by a
mob here early today.
Williams was accused of having
murdered Mrs. John C. Williams, wife
of the deputy chancery clerk of this
county, who was found dead in her
home yesterday. Her body was found
in an abandoned pit under the house.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the crime, as diamond
ring, which Mrs. Williams wore, was
missing.
When the mob attempted to take
Williams from the Jail, where he was
confined, he offered desperate resist
ance, but was finally dragged from the
building and lynched to a tree nearby.
The negro refused to make a con-
fession and declined to make any
statement other than you will do the
same thing to me if / tell you the
truth that you will if 1 don't"
The lynching came after admissions
by two negro women who told a num-
ber of citizens in the presence of the
local authorities they had seen him
enter the Williams home.
