Pierre, S.. D., Aug. I'm spite of a

ficials that they cannot be compelled
to answer queries by the investigating
committee. much interesting informa-
ton along desired lines is being gained
from banks which were used as state

that practically all past state treasur-

der the new statutes, received a nice
%ralteoff from banks in the way of in
aerest on state money.
One institution, the Illinois Trust

C. B. Collins $4,000 interest during his
four years term as state treasurer of
South Dakota, and hat it paid John
Schamber $15.700 interest during his
foul years term is state treasurer.
Since the operation of the 1908
statute. which was promoted by the
present state treasurer, A. w. Ewart,
while he was a member of the state
senate, the interest money has been
paid into the state funds. George
Johnston, who vas in the office prior

this may be somewhat short of the

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Although the soaking rains that have
fallen throughout the Inland Empire
during the week have not met with
much favor from Pow Mowers, they
have been of considerable value to
the wheat crop, and barring hot winds
or any other unusual disturbance
there can be no question that the
yield of this season will be of record
proportion. Maturity of crops, how
ever, will come somewhat late, as the
season has been very backward, and
prospects are that new crop deliveries
will not be made before the first OF
September The only drawback from
the farmers point of view is the ap-
parent shortage of labor. Reports
have already been received from
many sections to the effect that suf-
ficient labor can be procured only
with difficulty, and with the increased
requirements of the harvest this may
prove a serious handicap to opera
tons.
The industrial situation through
the Pacific Northwest shows very lit
tie change. Operations seem to be
moving forward steadily with very
little attention given to the tariff ad-
justment. and general feeling of con-
fidence shown in the future.
In the various distributive lines
the movement continues steady and

GRAIN AND MILLING NEWS.

Douglas county has lerger acre
age of winter wheat than last season,
and it is expected that it's exports,
which aggregated 100000 bushels in
1912, will be increased.
The Dixie Commercial club is in
correspondence with f. ]. Smith, who
operates a Touring mill at Pickford,
Mich. looking to his removal to that
point and engaging in the milling
business. A concerted effort will be
made to secure the location Of mill
at Dixie, whose advantages are be-
lieved to insure it's profitable opera
ton.
Fine rains have fallen throughout
the Palouse country, and other lead
ing wheat producing sections of the
Inland Empire during the past week
and the condition of the ground is
now almost ideal for the maturing OF
the crop. While the season is later
than usual, the outlook is regarded as
propitious for a full normal outturn
and advices from number of sec
lions tend to indicate record yield
Some apprehension is indicated rela
tive to the labor situation. 1t is al
most impossible to secure help al
the present time, and it is feared thai
with the advent of the harvest, there
will be ditnculty in meeting the re
quirements.

luton, vetoed the recent action of the
board of trustees of Vanderbilt uni
versity in accepting Andrew Carnegie's
gift of $1,000,O00 for the aid of the
medical department of the university.
The bishops held that the board had
exceeded it's authority and committed
breach of trust vested with it.
Acceptance of the gift, with Mr..
Carnegie's provision for it's admins
tration, constituted, they held further,
diversion of a large portion of the
funds and property of the university
from the trusts upon which the prop
erty is held

ops said that the gift without the con-
ditions, which must be fulfilled in
good faith to the donor" would be
welcome, and added:
I'VE are unwilling that Mr.. Carnegie
should be deceived or that the univer-
sity be dismembered and the church

New York.-A negative opinion con-
corning the alleged direct ratio of
working girls low wages to the social
evil is contained in statement issued
recently by the voluntary committee
of nationally prominent social work
ers, who met here on April Is to in
vestigate the subject.
The Investigators express their be-
lief that injustice has been done
working girls, especially the employees
of department stores, by the wide
spread publicity given to a mistaken
view of industrial responsibility for
the so-called white slave condition"
"The Undersigned the statement
continues, certainly do not wish to in
innate that the wages paid are too
high or even sufficient. That is a
question to be considered on different
grounds, and our sympathy is strongly
with the working girls"
Causes of immortality.
The conclusion of the investigators
report is as follows:
Our observation and experience in
dictate that the most important con-
tributing causes of immortality among
girls are:
Weakness of mind and will, indi-
vidual temperament, immoral associ
ates, lack of religious or ethical train.
ing, injurious home influences, cramped
living accommodations, rendering pri
vacy difficult, lack of industrial eff
cheney, idleness, unwillingness to ac
cept available employment, love OF
finery and pleasure, unwholesome
amusement, inexperience and ignor
ance of social temptations.
1--WE therefore hold that it has not
been satisfactorily demonstrated thai
low wages are direct cause of loss Of
virtue of working girls"

WARNING TO HOG RAlSERS
Sore Mouths May Cause loss-An
Expert Gives Directions to Treat.

A few swine raiSerS are having
trouble with sore mouths among their
young pigs. This may or may not be
serious, but it is we'll to eliminate the
difficulty as quickly as possible, says
a bulletin issued by r. G. Ashley, pro-
lessor of animal husbandry of the
Washington State college. The infec-
tious or canker sore mouth is serious
though perhaps not of common occur
renee in the northwest. Following are
some of the symptoms characterizing
it:
The lining of the mouth and lips
becomes inflamed and swollen and the
swelling extends back over the skin
toward the eyes and threat. Watery
blisters may pre- cede, later scabbing
over or forming ulvers. These are
likely to slough off, leaving bleeding
patches. The mouth may become sc
sore that the affected pigs are unable
to suck. If unchecked the disease Is
apt to cause much loss.
Treatment.
Prepare a solution of permanganate
of potash of the strength OF one ounce
to a gallon of water. Dip the young
pig head foremost into the solutior
and hold it there for moment. Two
of three dips will do no harm. Inl'
treatment may be repeated daily for
week or until recovery takes place.
Also wash the sow's udder with tns
same solution. This will tend to checi
the spread of the infection.
Clean out the pens or houses ant
clean up the yards. Then spray al
mems, feeding troughs and quarters
with good coal tar dip such as kreso
kreo of zenaleum. Any good disin
fectant will do as we'll. After the dis
ease is eliminated continue TO Keel
things clean.
