She could not see his face as he
knelt and asked her to be his. She
was glad of that, for she did not
wish to know how much suffering
her refusal had caused hin.
She told him as gently as she
could that their lives could not be
linked together; that, although she
admired him and esteemed him, she
felt that it would risking his future
as well as her own to consent to a
union where she was sure no affinity
existed. It was a touching speech
and she threw so much heart into it
that she did not observe that he was
taking notes in shorthand. When
she had concluded he arose and put
his notebook in his pocket. Extend
ing his hand, he remarked genially:

State Will Issue 100000 in Bonds

In accordance with the bill passed
by the last legislature, the state capt.
toll commission has instructed Clark
V. Savidge, state land commissioner to
call for bids for four million dollars
worth of bonds against the state capital
land grant, for the purpose of raising
the money for the construction of the
new capital at Olympia. AT meeting
Of the state board Of finance held
shortly afterwards, Gov. Lister and
other members of the board agreed to
have the board bid on 100000 worth
of these bonds, after which suit will
be started to prevent the state from
buying them on the ground that the
bond issue is debt and that the state
cannot exceed the limit of 100000
fixed by law. This will be done to
determine the validity of the bond is

FOrdS are Popular

AS an indication of the marvellous
popularity of Ford cars among the
ranchers of this valley, there were 90
automobiles counted on Mission street
between Palouse and Orondo at one
time last Monday when the Association
stockholders were in session at the
Commercial Club. Of these, AZ were
Fords. Besides there were 20 Fords
in Cascade Garage which is the agency
for this machine. Already four carloads
of these efficient but inexpensive auto
mobiles have been sold in this valley
this spring, and several more ship
ments are yet to arrive. -Wenatchee

FARMERS, RANCHERS' and
FRUIT GROWERS COLUMN

Under the terms of House Bill %,
passed last winter by the Legislature,
there is created inWashington Blu
reau of Farm Development, consisting
of the boards of county commissioners
of all counties of the state desiring to
participate therein, and the Director of
the State Experiment Station, who is
constituted Director of the Bureau Of
Farm Development. County com
missioners are authorized to appropriate
funds for the employment of an Agri-
cultural Agent in their respective
counties. The appointment of the
County Agent is made, upon application
by the county commissioners, by the
Director of the Experiment Station.
At a time Of the year when the
pocket gopher is making destructive
raids upon the crops of garden and
field, persons desiring information upon
the methods of combating it will well
come the following suggestions from
the Colorado Experiment Station, which
are heartily approved and recommend
ed for trial in Washington, by the
Washington Station. Excerpts follow:
"Gophers take to traps or poison
much more readily than do either
prairie-dogs or ground squirrels, but on
account of their living in subterranean
tunnels, it is difficult to set the trap or
place the poison in the proper place,
Traps must be set in the main run
ways or we'll down in the short lateral
that is thrown out from the same.
Poison must be placed in the main
tunnel, otherwise it will be covered up
by the dirt and pushed out by the
gophers, and miss the purpose for
which it was intended. Poison may
be placed in the main runway by OPP
ening up the laterals until it is reached,
or by using steel pointed prod from
the surface. The latter is the best
method, but impossible in some sec
tions of the state. In soil that is dry
and hard, the gophers are apt to bur-
row too deeply for the prod to reach,
and in that case, the only thing to do
is to work through the laterals.
When there is an abundance Of
water, flooding is one of the best means
of control. If the water is used in
warm weather, man should be there
to kill the animals when they are driv-
en- to the surface. A good dog will
enjoy the sport. If flooding is done
in cold weather, the gophers will chill
to death upon reaching the surface.
The following formula will be found
very effective for poisoning these pests:
Whole corn or chopped parsnips, or
sugar beets, eight quarts. Strychnine
(sulphate powdered) e ounce. Salt,
Il pint, Starch, d pint. Water, IL
pints."

Look to Your Plumbing.

You know what happens in a house in
which the plumbing is in poor condition
everybody in the house is liable to contract
typhoid or some other fever. The digestive
organs perform the same functions in the
human body as the plumbing does for the
house, and they should be kept in first class
condition all the time. If you have any
trouble with your digestion take Chamber
lain's Tablets and you are certain to get
quick relief. For sale by all dealers.-Ad-
