Expert Advances Remedy

That the dampening of the grain
before it is fed into the separator or
the feeding Of the exhaust steam
from the engine into the cylinder
will alleviate the smut explosion
trouble, is the opinion advanced by
George a. Olson, chemist OF the state
experiment station, who has made
an exhaustive study of the conditions
which accompany the explosions. la
statement issued this week, Pro-
lessor Olson says:
Professors Macadam, Weber, Cas-.
sells, Peck, Peckham, Tobin and
others have carefully Investigated
the causes for dust explosions and
the results of their Investigations
apply equally as well to separator
explosions.
ANY combustible substance, such
as wood, coal, vegetables, grain,
starch, dust or smut are. under GER
tain conditions, subject to explosion.
The difference between combus-
ton and explosion is at the rate
at which the combustible materials
is consumed. An explosion is a rapid
combustion, it is practically instan-
taneous, while combustion may vary

Many Remedies Tried

Many plans to alleviate the danger
Of smut explosions have been adj
yanced and some of these have been
put to practical test by the farm ers.
c. e. Boundy. who last year suffered
three explosions, has this year con-
nected a pipe to the exhaust of his
engine and sprays the steam into the
cylinder Of the separator to dampen
the atmosphere, and has as yet had
no trouble. Another farmer has ad-
vanced the theory that the explo-
sions are caused by the electricity
generated in the separator and has
connected two copper wires to the
journals in the machine and has at
tached the wires to an iron rod in
the ground. The ground around the
rod is kept moistened and the own
Ell of the machine declares that the
electricity generated in the separator
Is discharged into the ground. He
has run for two weeks without
trouble.

Blame Nitro-Glycerine

The most serious explosion in the
vicinity of Pullman was that which
occurred Wednesday evening on the
c. NJ. Beckett place near Johnson,
when the separator owned by Theo-
dcre Stirewalt was totally destroyed
the machine at the time of the eX-
plosion, was SO severely burned
about the face and hands that he was
brought to the Pullman hospital for
medical attention. J. Gallagher, sep
arator tender, was also badly burned,
both men being blown several feet
into the air. Members of the Sire
walt crew are emphatic in their
opinion that outside agents were
used to blow up the separator, and
nitro-glycerine is blamed for the af-
fair by a brother of the separator
tender, Who was hear the machine
and who states that the smell of that
explosive was unmistakable. Two
separate explosions occurred, one i'm
mediately following the other, and
they were heard for nearly two
miles. This fact alone would appear
to disprove the theory that smut
alone was responsible, as the smut
explosions are rarely accompanied
by extraordinary sound, being more

Members of the crew also state
that dynamite, with caps attached,

ago. Mr.. SUreWaIt carried no lnSur-
ance on his machine, but the few
sacks Of grain burned were fully in
sured The owner states that he has
had enough of the threshing game
for this year, although he is pio
neer thresherman, and will not put
second machine into the field.
Daniels Machine Destroyed
Monday morning the separator
owned by Wesley Stephenson and
leased by A. n. Daniels, blew up on
the J. e. Barbee place. five miles
south of Pullman, and 300 sacks of
grain were burned. This explosion
occurred in the wind stacker ard is
thought to have been caused by an
oyerheated boxing. A stiff wind was
blowing into the stacker at the time.
The outfit had just completed one
setting after threshing field of bar
ley and was cleaning up, with the
cylinder nearly empty, when the eX-
piosion took place. Both the separ-
ator and the grain were fully in
sured The crew did heroic work in
blowing burrows around the machine
to prevent the spread of the flam es.
Wednesday morning the John De
Young separator, operating on the
Atkinson place. three miles west of
Pullman, exploded, and the separ-
ator. together with 500 sacks of
wheat belonging to Mr.. Atkinson,
were destroyed. No insurance was
carried on the separator, but the
grain was fully covered. Mr. De
Young attempted to secure insurance
Oh his separator last Saturday morn
ing but The agent of the last COM
pany to handle separator insurance
had been instructed to take no fur
tier risks by wire Friday night and
he was unsuccessful.
/. W. WIS Are Charged
That many of the machines are be-
ing fired purposely by members of
the l. w. W. organization is the be
lief Of many farmers of the county
and others who have made a study
OF the conditions accompanying the
explosions. The l. w. WIS had some
trouble with the farmers in the
western end of the county last year
aid threats of evening up the al
legged scores are said to have been
made. COlfaX people were much dis
tUrbed Monday evening when a re-
pert was received from Palouse and
ST. John that a we'll organized plan
fol burning the city had been made
by the members of the l. w. w. or
ganization. Merchants spent the
night patroling their property but
the alleged plot failed to materialize
Some farmers steadfastly scout the
incendiarism theory, and say that
the explosions are caused by natural
OF smut in the grain or by the use
OF petroleum oils on the separators.
Those who are emphatic in their
contention that the l, w. w. mem
bers have taken a hand in the de-
struction of the machines, however
cite the fact that in the Camas
Prairie country, where the smut is
a" bad as in the Palouse country, but
where there are no l. w. W. mem

The total of threshing machines
destroyed by explosions OF smut in
Whitman county has increased dur
ing the past week to over sixty,
and the farmers are showing consid-
cradle concern as to the harvesting
of the Whitman county crop. With
nearly all of the grain in this end of
the county still unthreshed, and
probably half Of that in western
Whitman yet to thTesh, the insur-
anCe companies have discontinued
taking throshing machine risks, the
supply of separators in Spokane to
replace those burned through the
smut explosions has been exhausted
fields rather than take a second
chance after once burning out, and
others have stated that they will re-
tire unless they can secure insurance
for their machines. These condi-
lions combine to cause general alarm
throughout the county and it is not
improbable that drastic measures
will of necessity be resorted to be-
fore the harvest of the county is
garnered.
Two machines were destroyed by
smut explosions Wednesday night,
that of Mr. Vandeyande of Moscow
exploding on the Pernell place,
about five miles east of Pullman
and the Ginrich machine exploded
on the Hickman place on the Snake
river brakes. The Ginrich separator
was fully insured.
Many of the separator explosions
SAVIOR strongly of inCendiarism, and
il several cases matches and even
dynamite have been found in the
bundles of grain which were seen to
be threshed. There is nearly double
the amount of smut in the grain this
year, however, of any previous year,
and many Of the explosions have I'M
dCubtedly been caused by the smut
without assistance from other ex-
p!osive or inflammable materials.

Horses at Roaring Brook Park Stables.

Never since the new fair ground
stables were built have there been in

trottlng park as at the present time, a
most sure indication that it's great
advantages are becoming more and
more appreciated each season. If
guests in our town, Or our local people
want to see good horse flesh and also
witness some very spirited brushes
and workouts, they should avail them
selves of the opportunity now offered
to visit Roaring Brook Park any pleas
ant afternoon, preferably Tuesdays and
Fridays, we are told. and they will
most certainly not be disappointed

Krispen, black gelding with mark
of 2.O8a, Louise Patch, 2. 14a, Builder,
2.144. Lady A. 2184 and big string
of colts and green horses from which
much is expected in the future. Mr..
Pickel is a trainer and driver of much
note and the horses under his care have
always shown the best in them. Henry

E. II. Pope.

A very unfortunate and entirely
unaccountable tragedy occurred in
Lyndonville Sunday morning. May 81.
when Elmer Holton Pope committed
suicide at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Dana where, with his wife. a
sister of Mrs Dana's he was visiting
for few days. Mr.. Pope was born at
Clifton. P. O.. May 81, 1858. He
spent the greater part of his life at
Greensboro Bend where he had black
smithing and jobbing shop. Six years
ago he moved to Barton, going into
business there. He sold his business
there and had come to this town to
look for some small farm. He married
Jennie F. Harrison on Jan. 1, 1876.
His wife and four sons survive him.
They are Perley E. of Montreal, Craig
c., of Attleboro, Mass. Verne Of
Toronto and and Fred Pope. a clerk in
the BerryBall dry goods store at St.
Pope had had some trouble from
full disposition and no dependency had
ever been apparent. He seemed to be
unusually free from any troubles or
worriment of any kind and his suicide
is quite unexplainable. On Sunday
morning soon after his wife went to
church, Mr.. Pope shaved and then
went into the bedroom, closing the
door. No sound was heard by people
in the adjoining rooms and they re-
marked that he must be lying down.
Upon coming home from church his
wife went to the room and found him
lying upon the floor, life extinct. He
had with razor cut the jugular vein
near the collar bone and bled to death.
Funeral services were held on Wednes-
day June 3, at the home of Frank Ball
of the Berry-Ball company at st.
Johnsbury.
