The woman's auxiliary of the cham
Der of commerce met Monday after
noon in regular semi-monthly session
at the chamber of commerce. After
the minutes were read and approved,
various committees, those on parks,
Fairgrounds, and vacant lots reported
progress. The matter of a sweet pea
show this summer was discussed and
it was the sense of the meeting that
one should be held. There is no doubt
that no soil will produce a greater
and better variety of sweetpeas than
does that of Moscow. In due time
premiums will be announced and COM
mittees appointed. 1t is hoped that
all sweet pea growers will compete
and make the show as successful as
it has hitherto been. Various other
matters of interest to the auxiliary
as an organization were discussed
and the meeting adjourned to meet on
Monday, June 1, at $3.50 at the cham
Der of commerce.
Some interesting experiments in
soil testing are being conducted in the
bacteriology laboratory at the univer-
sity preliminary to more extensive ex-
pertinent which are to be carried out
on the university farm little later i
in the season. The purpose of the ex-
periments is to determine exactly |
what organisms in the soil are detri-
mental to successful plant growth and |
what ones are beneficial to the grow
ing of various crops Several sam
pies of Palouse soils have been col
lected and after being thoroughly
sterilized have been inoculated with
three or four of the leading organiz-
isms which had been isolated from the
soil before its sterilization. Seeds are
then planted in the soil and the eff
feet of the various organisms is watch
ed. Through this process it is posi-
BILE to determine just what the soil {
in its natural condition lacks, what
elements in it are productive of {
healthy plant growth and what ones |
ire detrimental

A PROBABLE DEFICIT

1t may cause considerable sur
prise co the good people Of the
state of Nevada who have thought
that the appropriation Of q hundred
and forty thousand dollars for X
hibit purposes at the Panama Pa.
ciic fair at San Francisco and San
Diego was an enormou amount to
learn that one of the gentlemen
high in the management Of the
fair appropriation stated a short
time age that to the best of his
figuring at this time that a deficit
Of from fifteen TO twenty thousand
dollars would be caused by the
present plans for the fair. In other
words the appropriation Of $140,.
900 will not be sufficient by the
sum of $4,000 or $40, 900 to make
an exhibit for the state Of Nevada.
The gentleman who made the state
ment evidently knew Of what he
wac speaking and the people are
now notified to be ready with a
further appropriation at the next
session Of the legislature to pay the
expenses of those who have the
matter in charge.--Carson News.
The Carson Appeal on the au-
thority OF Lieutenant Governor
Ross and Attorney General Thatcher
denies the story that there will be
a deficit in the appropriation. In-
stead Of a deficit, Ross and Thatcher.
according to the Appeal, claim
there will he a surplus Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 to turn back
into the state treasury. We hope
their claim will prove true, but
very much dobbt It.

THREW sl,355 AWAY

The contract for the Nevada
building at the San Francisco
Panama Exposition was let to AL
fred S. Cough, of Goldfeld. This
bid was for $4,000. The bid of
w. G. McGinty & Son, of Reno for
$21 900 was thrown out entirely
on account of some trouble this
firm had previously gotten into
with. the labor unions. This might
have been alright if the McGinty
people are really unfair. But what
about the bid of F. c. Gallagher,
of Yerington which was for $780,
245, or 81 1855 less than the bid &C.
cepte1? This bid, we understand,
was not considered because the con-
tractor put up a certified check on
the Bank of California, and this
was considered reprehensible by the
Board, as the money was not in a
Nevada bank. On this flimsy plea
the Board have thrown away just
81, 1855 Of the peoples money. There
is apparently no use of bidding for
his kind Of work if no respect is
to be paid to the low bidders. The
action Of Thatcher and Ross was
plainly to give the bid to the party
who they thought would help them
most politically, and the people are
to Jay the price. Governor Oddie,
the other member of the board,
voted for the low bidder, Mr.. Gal
lagber, SO the vote stood just 2 to
4 to throw away the 81 1855 of the
peoples money. Maybe this is
good politics for Thatcher and Ross
and then again, maybe it is not
Yerington Times.

SENSATIONAL STORY
FROM KNOXVILLE

The savage vengeance of a
mountain lioness opposed to the
splendid courage of . woman that
was the drama Of maternal 'valor
that ended when the lioness lay
dead, with head crushed in, at the
feet of Mrs. Francis Ellery. 1t was
a battle of mothers at the doorstep
of the Ellery home in the clearing
on Beaver Creek near mere. and the
human mother won.
Recently George Ellery, a trap
per, slew the babies of the big
mountain lioness which he came up
on in the woods behind his home.
The lioness escaped. 1t is the same
lioness, he is>convinced. which Mrs.
Elleiy has killed. She was working
about the house while her baby
girl, Helen, 3-year old. played in
the sand outside. Ellery was away
trapping and had left only their
terrier to guard the family.
Mrs. Ellery paid no attention to
the barking of the terrier. at first
but suddenly she caught a note of
terror and warning in the excited
yelping. Running to the door she
saw the mountain lioness crouched
not fifty feet from where the little
girl was sitting, all unconscious of
danger. Slipping one paw steadily
ahead of the other, the animal was
inching her way toward the child.
The lioness was avenging the death
of her babies upon the baby Of
their slayer.
An old rife lay upon two pegs
over the door. In a moment it was
in Mrs. Ellery's hands. The bark
ing Of the terrier had so distracted
the lioness that she was not yet
within bouncing distance. Slowly
the trembling rifle came to rest on
the shoulder of the mother and the
gun blazed. With a scream of pain
the lioness flew straight toward the
assaifant. The shot had only made
a wound in the animals shoulder.
And the gun was empty. it was
an antiquated single shot model.
my first impulse was to slam the
door in the beasts face,' said Mrs.
Ellrey. Then thought of my
baby"
AS the lioness spreng at her the
mother mustered all her Strength
and brought the gun down on the
furry head. The big animal ended
her leap in one death-gasp at Mrs.
Ellery's feet, her skull crushed in.
