BAD POTATOES ARE BURNED
Seattle Refuses Worm Eaten Spuds
From California.

Seattle, Wash.-F. N. Rhodes, dis
trict horticultural inspector, after con-
demning number of carloads of po-
tatos shipped from California to this
market, has determined to invoke the
aid Of the criminal courts in punish
ing those responsible for attempting
to force wormy spuds on Seattle con-
sumers.
A carload of potatoes shipped from
Sacramento to Seattle commission
firm on August Is was destroyed. In
spector Rhodes says he found the po-
tatoes baby infected with potato tuber
moths, and that he took los infected
potatoes from one sack.
Mr.. Rhodes, backed by ]. H. Per-
kins, commissioner of agriculture at
Olympia, some time ago sent cir
cular to California shippers announc-
ing that hereafter all potatoes shipped
into the state and found to be infected
would be burned.
"This moth" said Mr.. Rhodes, els
the most dangerous pest known. A
few years ago it destroyed nearly the
entire crop Of Australia, Tasmania,
New Zealand, India, China, South
Africa and Jamaica, and is now a
grave menace to California

professor of farm mechanics at the
Washington State college, whose lee
lures on silos and silo construction
were feature of the recent w. S. c.
N. P. demonstration trains, has re-
turned from Ellensburg, where he has
been experimenting the construction
of concrete silo. Mr.. Charlton Sc
cured much valuable data on the act
ual costs and best methods of con-
struction of concrete silos. He will
as once begin the construction of q
concrete silo, 10 feet in diameter and
20 feet deep, on the college farm,
which will be the first all-concrete silo
to be constructed on the state acre
age here.

HIGHER TAX AGREED ON
Revision to Apply to All Sums Above
$4,000 Year.

@ZU,OOV SSaTs
washington, D. Can insurgent
movement among Democratic Sena-
tors that threatened to break party
lines on the income tax has been head
ed off by the leaders by an agreement
to revise the tariff bill SO as to levy
a heavier tax on the incomes from
large fortunes.
It is understood that Democratic
leaders have agreed to a revision OF
the income tax section, SO that the ex-
ira tax on incomes Of more than $780,
600 will be 5 per cent, with an IN
crease reaching 10 per cent on in
comes of a half-million dollars.
The bill as it now stands provides
for a 8 per cent tax above $1OO,OOO.
The present rates on incomes between
$4,000 and 100000 also will be in
creased.
The insurgent leaders began with a
demand for a party conference and
claimed the support of ~ Democratic
Senators of the so in the Senate in
support of an increase in the tax. They
finally agreed to withdraw their de-
mand for a special caucus, but the
question Will De CdheA ny IL q pa ~

Intellectual attempts were made re-
peatedly by Republicans to amend the
income tax provisions. An amend
ment by Senator Norris to allow an
exemption of $500 for each minor child
instead of limiting the exemption to
two children, was defeated, "a to ~.
Another by Senator Dodge to substi-
tute dependent" for minor children
also was promptly voted down.

New Barns Indicate Trend.

Palouse There is perhaps no better
indication of the rapid change being
made by farmers in this part Of the
Palouse country from exclusive wheat
growing to diversified farming than
the building Of barns. For the last
several years each summer has seen a
number of new barns erected in the
district about Palouse, but the present
summer, with 13 modern barns built
within few miles of town, easily has
the record. The barns are replacing,
in many instances, old makeshift
sheds. All are of the round roof var
iety, making room for large guam
tity of hay. In addition to the barns,
q large number of silos are being put
up by local farmers.

PEACE PALACE is DEDICATED
Great Temple at The Hague One of
Most Impressive Modern Buildings.

Great Temple at The Hague One of
Most Impressive Modern Buildings.
The Hague.-The Palace of Peace
was dedicated here. The ceremony of
handing the edifice over to the Dutch
foreign minister was carried out in
the great court in the presence of
Queen Wilhelmina, Dowager Queen
Emma and Prince Consort Henry.
These were surrounded by distin-
guished gathering of diplomats, repre-
sentatives of peace societies and peo-
pie prominent in the arts and sciences.
Abraham VanKarnebeek, president
of the Carnegie Foundation, with a
brief speech, handed the palace into
the care of it's appointed custodian.
He eulogized the interest shown in
the peace movement by the queen and
emphasized the significance of the in
auguration of the palace, expressing
particular thanks for the generosity of
Andrew Carnegie.
Jonkheer Reneke van Swinderen,
the retiring Dutch minister for foreign
affairs, then accepted the custody of
the building on behalf of the diploma
tic corps, in which it is vested, under
the presidency of the Dutch foreign
minister. He paid tribute to the late
Melville w. Fuller, former chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, and others now dead, who had
adorned the court of arbitration. He
followed with a few sentences in
French eulogistic of Andrew Carnegie.
Then, turning to Mr.. Carnegie, who
was standing beside him and breaking
into English, he said:
"Mr. Carnegie, there is no doubt, I
should think, that you today are the
happiest man among us, seeing in
these surroundings the transformation
of your beautiful high-spirited munifi-
cence into this future seat of inter-
national tribunal. In the name of the
civilized powers of the world, I adj
dress you"

fore Weed Goes to Seed.

navenport-In his work of investi-
lotion as county agriculturalist, Will
Z Jones of this place says he has 2
netbod by which the Russian thistle,
= dreaded weed which has been spread
mo rapidly, may be effectually eradi-
oafed from the soil. If successful the
nIan will result in the saving in one
season of thousands OF dollars to the
farmers. :. :,
"The Russian THISTLE said Mr..
Jones. "makes very slow growth and
natures it's seeds late in the season.
Esnecially is this true when growing
in a crop of grain. About the time
that the wheat is ready to harvest the
thistle is in bloom and the plants are
small. AS soon as the crop is cut the
plant grows rapidly. The size Of the
nlants when the grain is harvested
makes it possible to destroy the this
tie before it seeds by cutting the
ground with a sharp disc or right lap
Immediately after the grain is har-
vested.
{" Immediately does not mean in
two or four weeks, but the disk should
follow the header so that the seed will
not be sufficiently developed to grow.
"In my field study have found
three districts in the county where
this plan has been tried with success
and the plan renders it unnecessary to
burn the stubble in order to pillow and
till the land"

TO AID WESTERN SETTLERS
Secretary Lane Says Homebuilders
az West Are Heroes.

Colorado Springs Closer co-opera-
tion between the government AM the
settlers in the reclamation Of many
sections Of the arid West, was the
keynote Of an address in this city by
Secretary Of the Interior Franklin e.
Lane before the Fifth Annual Con-
gress Of Governors.
Mr.. Lanes speech was taken as an
announcement Of the new policy adopt
ed by the Interior department gained
from tour Of the West during the
last few weeks, where he has inspect
ed dozens Of irrigation projects with 2
view to gaining information that will
enable the Wilson administration to
do the most for the farmer and stock
man.
ssIn nv visits this summer through
land in process of reclamation, said
Secretary Lane, 81 found thousands Of
self sacrificing men and women who
are displaying as much heroism, forti-
tude. endurance and self sacrifice as
has ever been shown by soldiers in
anv part of the world on the field OF
battle. Far from railroads and amid
many difficulties, they are building
homes, and was particularly touched
by the many noble, suffering women
on whose shoulders falls the main
burden of the home. It is my concep-
ton that the main duty of the United
States government in its land depart
ment is to help the people to make
homes and if we tighten their burden,
the government of the United States
will suffer not at all. =

MANY NEEDING WARNING
Americans in Mexico Leaving
Great Numbers.

Neutrality-suspicious. in Mexico
are needing President Wilson's warn
ing to get out and State Department
officials believe that two weeks hence
there hardly will be 1000 of them left
in the troubled southern republic.
Although many had refused to con-
slider leaving before the word came Of
the Presidents advice, hundreds have
been starting for home or abroad daily
during the last three weeks and it is
estimated that nearly 10000, or about
as many as still are in Mexico, have
gotten away.
Of those now preparing to leave,
1000 will need help from the Govern.
ment, so the 100000 appropriation
asked for by Secretary Bryan some
time ago to aid refugees will be need
ed Immediately. Of the 1000, about
5000 will come out by the East coast
ports and the northern border, the
other 1000 through the West coast
ports.
Since last February, the State De-
partment has aided, it is said, between
1000 and 5000 refugees, furnishing
money or transportation in some in
stances and in others securing special
rate or accommodations which the in
dividuals themselves could not get.
Department officials estimate that
there were about $4,000 Americans in
Mexi, two or three years ago, and
Ambassador Wilson places the num-
Der as high as $4,000. In aiding Amer
lean refugees the American Red Cross
has spent $4,000 and last year the
trips which the Army transport Buford
made down the West coast to Mazat-
Ian, Manzanillo, Topolobampo and 9th
er ports cost the War Department
about $4,000.

LEVY TO BE Fifteen MILLS
WalIa WaIIa Adopts Budget Calling
For $278,o34.

Walla Walla.-The city commission
ers have adopted the budget for 1914,
which calls for the expenditure of
$27S,234, of which $145,901.35 will be
raised by taxation. Last year $780,
$40 had to be raised by taxation, and
the. levy was 211a mills. This year
it will be Is mills.
The commissioners will meet Octo-
Der to fix the levy. The largest
increase is the fire department. and
is $4329. That includes a $500 fire
automobile. The street department
shows a reduction of $4,000 over last
year. But one officials salary is to
be increased.
City Treasurer McGhee will be paid
1880 instead of $1,000 a year. The
commissioners also provide $500 for
drinking fountains.
A rough outline of the county bud
get as prepared gives the current ex-
penses for 1914 as $96,962. This is
exclusive for roads and bridges and
county fair appropriations.

WASHINGTON STATE NEWS NOTES
Items on the General Indn.l and Educational Development
and Progress Of Rural Communities Pubic nsu'uuons'
TO BE COMPLETED
State and Counties Have $3.50, 900
For Road Work.

Olympia. Clark county PRO
ceeding alone to finance and build the
Washington end of the interstate Port
land Vancouver bridge across the Col
umbia, the state of Washington is
preparing to spend $264,41S on its Dor
ton of the Pacific highway, while in
dividual counties along the route will
during 1913 and 1914 spend an addi-
tional 100000 on the highway, max
ing Washington's total contribution to
the cause, during the two-year period,
in excess of $1,250,000.
The last legislature appropriated
for the Pacific highway $264,418, to
be expended as follows: From Blaine
toward Bellingham, $37,268; from the
north line of King county toward Bel
bingham, $93,176; from south line of
King county toward Vancouver, Wash,
$119,264; for maintenance, $14, no.
The policy of the administration in
expanding this money has been to use
it on the worst places so that by 1915
when the coast will be thronged with
eastern tourists coming to visit the
Panama exposition, the Pacific high
way, throughout it's entire distance in
Washington, will be passable and all
heavy grades reduced, while more than
half of it's length will consist of fin
ished, graded and drained and hard
surfaced roadway.
Of the $119,264 appropriated for
work from the south line of King coun-
ty toward Vancouver the state high
way commission has allotted $4,000
to Clarke county, $4,000 to Cowlitz
and 100000 to Lewis county.
The Clarke county $4,000 will be
expended on the six-mile section from
Woodland to La Center. This is one
of the worst sections, at present, on
the entire highway Three months
ago a 100000 state bridge at Wood
land was completed, and from this
point the road builders will proceed
south.
In Cowlitz county the $4,000 allot-
ted by the state will be used on a
number of the worst sections of the
highway. One piece to be improved
is "Tom Brown HILL" north of Castle
Rock. This heavy grade will be re-
duced to per cent, the maximum on
all public highway work. The Cowlitz
county commissioners are urging the
state to join with them in improve
ment of the six miles of road between
Kelso and Carols. The county, which
has $4,000 permanent highway money
available, proposes to grade and sur
face the three miles out of KelsO and
wants the state to carry the road the
rest of the way to Carols, which will
probably be done.

BARLEY YIELDS 70 BUSHELS
Bulk Grain Elevator is Nearing Com.
pIetion at Cotton.

Cotton, Wash, Aug. 19.-There are
seven threshing machines operating
within whistling distance of Cotton
this week. In many places the farm
ers complain that the barley, which
has been threshed first, is not coming
up to expectations in the yield per
acre, but Charles Mayer, just west Of
town, had one field of IS acres that
yielded better than 70 bushels to the
acre.
The bulk grain elevator being erect
ed by the farmers union is rapidly
nearing completion and is expected to
be ready by the LIST of September. It
will be 70 feet high and will be oper-
ated by electricity. Many of the farm
ers are having their grain threshed
into portable grain bins in the fields,
thus saving the expense of sacks.
Much sacked grain is coming into
the warehouses at present, the condi-
ton of the weather forcing the farm
ers to hurry with all the harvest work
to get the grain safely under shelter.

SPLENDID FAIR IS PROMISED
One-Third of Counties of State to
Display at North Yakima.

North Yakima Exhibits of horti-
cultural and agricultural products from
at least one-third Of the 80 counties in
Washington are assured for the State
fair in this city the end of September,
according to T. O. Morrison, Of Olym-
pia, assistant commissioner of horti-
culture, who is in North Yakima con-
ferring with H. B. Averill, secretary
of the fair, and S. M. Mckee, superin-
tendent of the horticultural and agri-
cultural displays.
From the west side of the state the
counties which are preparing exhibits
or have signfied their intention to do
so are Whatcom, Pierce, Clark, Ska
mania, Thurston, Mason and Chehalis.
On the east side are Adams, Column
bia, Walla Walla, Spokane, Whitman
and Chelan, and there will be joint
display from four counties in North
Central Washington.
Instead of offering large first and
second prizes for the best county ex-
hibits the state fair this year is Civ
ing $50 to each county that makes a
display. This is to help cover the cost
Of bringing the exhibit here.
In the Thurston county display,
which is now being prepared by the
secretary of the Olympia Commercial
club, will be miniature oyster bed,
with sea sand and gravel containing
living marine plants and live oysters,
which will be given fresh sea water,
shipped twice day from the Sound,

CHILDREN's WORK LAUDED

Laughlin, eve are prone to overlook
the enormous influence of school chill
dren upon the hygiene of the home.
The children of poor, ill-educated par
ents are often the intermediary
through which the simple gospel of
hygiene and disease prevention reaches
the parents. In the Philippines, in
many instances, it is only because of
the children that the parents carry
out the instructions of the health Off
Ger.
''With an epidemic Of contagious
disease existing, there is tendency
in most communities to close the
schools. In the Philippines, on the
contrary, it is the policy of the bureau
to keep schools open because of their
extraordinary value in teaching the
precepts of disease prevention.
"Open air schools and open school
rooms were the general topics of the
day, and it was practically the unani-
nous opinion of the delegates that
children in rooms with windows wide
open, even during the winter months,
are immeasurably more healthful and
make more rapid progress in their stud
