A party of Northern Pacific immi-

the country will arrive in Pullman
next Tuesday morning at $3.50 and
remain for one hour. The Chamber

FALL GRAIN YIELDS
BELOW AVERAGE
Farmers Considerably Disappointed
in Yield of FAN Wheat and
Barley

Reports from farmers who have
threshed their fall wheat and barley
are to the effect that the yield is dis
appointing, being somewhat below
the average, and considerably less
than the estimates made by the farm
ers a couple of weeks ago. The
Yields from spring grains are expect
ed to bring the entire crop up to the
average, however as spring sown
grains are in better condition than
for several years past, All kinds of
grain on the south slopes are show
yields are cutting the average down
materially, due to the heavy fall of
snow which blanketed the north
slopes for several weeks, smothering
out much of the fall sown grain.
w f. Hickman of the Almota dis
trict reports yield of 5000 sacks of
barley from tract which ordinarily
runs 5000 sacks or better, and ID. M.
Parrish, whose place IS on the
brakes Of the Snake river above Wa
wawai, secured a yield of only 80
bushels of barley to the acre, after
having estimated his crop a couple
Of weeks ago at better than 40
bushels.
che best barley yield so far report
ed is from the farm of Charles Bias
sett, of near Fallon, the grain run
ming about 20 sacks to the acre, and
weighing 100 to 125 bushels to the
sack, a yield of about As bushels to
the acre.
]. E. Peterson of the Evansville
district, has just finished threshing
80 acres of fall sown red chaff, which
produced ten sacks, or about %
bushels, to the acre. The grain was
bound quite green and contained a
great deal of wild oats, and was
hardly dry enough when threshed.
Solon Snyder reports yield of
about 25 bushels to the acre from 30
acres of fall wheat threshed Tues
day.
Charles Starr of the Seats neigh
borhood, reports yield of about 10
sacks of barley to the acre, or less
than 25 bushels, on land that has
heretofore produced except onal
crops.
The barley yield has been cut
down materially during the last two
weeks in the Snake river district by
the high winds, which have broken
many heads from the stand ng grain
and shattered the ripe barley to some
extent. Grasshoppers are also blamed
for some of the shortage in yield, al
though their operations have not be-
come general throughout this section
but are confined to the Snake river
country.

WATER ORDINANCE PASSED

The water ordinance, a summary
of which was published in The Her
aid a couple of weeks ago, was
passed by the city council at an adj
iourned meeting of that body Fri
dav evening. An effort was made to
change the minimum amount OF
water to be used for 81 from 1000
gallons to 1000, but this failed on
the vote of the councilmen, and the
original ordinance passed, with
councilmen Dow. Lawler, Palmerton
and Sanger voting yes, and Nye'
Haynes and Sanborn opposing.

SPOKANE FIRM GETS
COLLEGE CONTRACT
VIII Erect New Agricultural and
Mechanic Arts Buildings for
S2O1 ,955--Wilkinson Sand
stone Construction

The bid of $201.955 submitted by
the j. B. Sweat Co. of Spokane for
the erection of the magnificent new
agricultural and mechanic arts build
iugs for the Washington State Col
lege was accepted by the board Of
regents last Saturday and work on
the buildings will commence at once.
The bid calls for Wilkinson sand
stone construction, and includes two
Of the most imposing structures on
the campus. Bids were submitted by
eight firms and ranged from over
$4,000 down to the successful esti-
mate, Each bid was accompanied by
certified check equal to 10 per
cent of the bid, and enough collat-
eral was in the hands of the regents
from this source to pay for the con
struction of both buildings, could it
have been applied that way.
The Sweat company also submit
ted bid on the two buildings Of
s19S,5S0 but this bid called for Te-
nino sandstone construction, and the
higher bid with the better material
was accepted. 1t is estimated that
the difference in value of the Wilk,n-
son and Tenino sandstones for the
two buildings is about $4,000. The
Bartlett & Roth company, formerly
tof Pullman and now located at
Portland, Ore, were second to the
Sgeatt company, their bid being
s213,361 for the two buildings with
Boise sandstone and S201,140 for
Tenino construction. other bidders
were the Colonial Building Co. of
Spokane, the Pearson Construction
ITe of Spokane. the T. F. Huetter
sc6. of Spokane. George Groshoff of
Spokane, the Whiteway-Lee Con
struction Co of Boise, Idaho, and
the Butler Construction Co. of
Seattle.
The board of regents met at 8
o'clock Saturday morning with Re-
gents McCroskey, Troy and Cunning
ham present, and the eight bids were
opened at once, although it was late
IN the afternoon before a decis on
was reached by the board, every
phase of the proposition having been
carefully considered. Bids were also
opened for the construction of the
foundation story of a farm engineer
ing building and a biological labor
atory, but all were considered too
high and rejected.

MAY Be GIVEN 4 CHANCE
Juvenile Burglars Linely to Be Sent
to Relatives Living Out Of the
City.

The case of Edward Wells and Eu-
gene Craddock, the two youths who
were brought before the Police Court
on Saturday for burglary commit
ted last Friday night, and who were
sentenced to the reform school, may
be given an opportunity to redeem
themselves provided arrangement
can be made ia place them at home
of relatives or friends outside the city
of. Alexandria where they can remain
until they reach manhood.
This procedure is occasionally
adopted when parents satisfy the
court that they will be responsible
for the conduct of their offspring dur
ing their majority and where they
will be separated from companions II
crime.
Experience has shown that in al
cases where youngsters have beer
removed from the influence of COM
panions and placed in isolated rura
homes that upon reaching years OF
discretion they have given the author
tiles no further trouble:
On the other hand, boys who have
served in the reform school have Otter
returned to their homes and repeat
ed crimes for which they have beer
handled by the grand jury.

FIGHT AGAINST BREWERY.
Efforts Being Made to Prevent Ii
cense to Arlington Brewery.

A determined effort is being made
by the Anti-Saloon League of Alexan-
dria county, to prevent the renewal
of the license of the Arlington Brew
ing Company, whose brewery is To-
Gated at Rosslyn, at the end of the
.aqueduct Bridge. The question If
new License is now being considered
by Judge J. B. T. Thornton, judge
of the circuit court who will make his
decision known at the April session Of
court.
A committee of five has been APP
pointed by the league to place the
matter before Judge Thornton and it
is said that they have secured a
large volume of evidence showing that
the brewing company IS not entitled
to have its license renewed.

GLORIOUS EASTER! DAY. :
Bright Sunshine and:Pleasant South
erly Breezes Accompany Great
Feast. IS

y = ]
Services appropriate to Easter in
the different. churches yesterday were
of the usual interesting and instrue-
tive nature, and the places of worship
were well-attended.
In the Catholic, Episcopal and Lu-
theran churches, where Easter rituals
were used, the services were of thu
most inspiring nature, while in 9TH
ers, where the church calendar is not
observed, sermons appropriate to the
day were delivered, and Easter music
rendered.
The Easter parade, after the close
of the churches, was thought by many
to be the largest ever witnessed on
previous occasions. The spirit of
the day was manifest until the sun
was setting behind the western hills.
The pageant was kept on King
street throughout the afternoon the
thoroughfares having been thronged
with young and old.
Easter has always enjoyed the priv
lege of roaming more or less at ran
dom over the calendar, but, neverthe-
less, it obeys one of the oldest laws
man ever devised. This is that the
first Sunday after the first full moon
following the vernal equinox shall
be Easter. To put it another way,
Easter comes on the first Sunday af-
ter the first full moon after March
81. AS movable feast day it has a
wide range from its observance, but
it must fall between March % and
April 25, inclusive. Usually you may
depend upon it to work out so that
Easter comes where it properly be-
longs, but this year it was case of
the vernal equinox, full moon and
/ Sunday following so close upon each
others hesls that the holiday was at
hand before anybody, much less the
weather, was really ready for it.
If you were to take the Fourth
of July and present it to the 9O,OC0,-
900 or so citizens of this land in mid
June, or if you were to grant them
Christmas and all that gees with it
early in December, the upheaval will
be no greater than it will be when
Easter makes it's untimely appear
ance in the stormy, cold, cherries and
altogether unliked and disagreeable
month of March-the month OF the
great blizzard of 'S8 and other DIS
agreeable thing IS. Back in 1851 the fes-
val came Gu the first possible day,
March %, and again in 1918. In tbs
last 125 years it has made its APP
pearance on March % only three
times, once in 1888, again in 1S45
and again in 1856. Not until after
the year 1000 will it again crowd so
closely upon the heels of winter. There
may be some consolation in looking
forward to the year 1916, when the
date will be just one month later,
April %.
