A silly ass tried his strength

from a gateway and was struck by

PALOUSE SHOULD Be
LIVESTOCK CENTER
Professor Thomas Shaw Says Wheat
Smut May Prove Godsend TO
palouse Country Farmers

That the sinking smut of wheat,
which has this year cost the farmers
lof Whitman county alone an amount
estimated at over two million dol
lars, may prove Godsend to the
farmers of the Inland Empire when
it forces them to add live stock 10
their stock in trade, was the opinion
advanced by Professor Thomas
Shaw, agriculturist for the Great
Northern railroad, in his talk before
public meeting in the Christian
church Tuesday evening. Professor
Shaw. who is the father Of Professor
w. T. Shaw of the State College fac
ulty, spoke under the auspices Of
the Chamber of Commerce. He
dealt interestingly with agricultural
matters in general and live stock
raising in particular. He stated that
the Palouse country is one of the
best adapted localities to the live
stock industry he has ever visited,
and urged the farmers to pay more
attention to this branch of agricul-
ture and less to cereals. In support
of his claim that such methods would
prove more profitable he cited as an
example "a case in Southern Min
nesota several years ago, when the
dreaded blight struck the wheat sec
ton and forced the farmers to turn
to other agricultural methods. The
blight proved "A blessing, as live
stock proved vastly more profitable.
Professor Shaw is a strong advo-
cate of the dual purpose COW for
farm use. and stated that such a COW
should return from $120 to $l25 pei
year IN produce and calves. He spoke
somewhat optimistically concerning
Pullman prospects for securing one
of the dual purpose South Devon
bulls. imported from England by
President Hill of the Great Northern
railway for distribution throughout
the United States. He mentioned
one of these bulls in particular
which he had purchased for Mr.. Hill
i'm England. At two and one-half
years of age this bull tipped the
scales at 2400 pounds, with every
prospect that he will reach $500
pounds at maturity.

Pullman Plans to Aid Europeans
Who Are in Destitute CirCum-

Conflict

If you have anything that might

Many friends of the defendant ANA
his relatives were present through
ont the entire trial, and heard him
tell the story OF the shooting. in
which he openly admitted that he
figured Already past the three
score years mark, the aged man told
a frank and clear story of the un-
fortunate affair, the only breaks IN
the narrative being when he paused
to wipe away tears and regain CON
troll of his voice when memories of
his only daughter, mis- love for whom
led to the shooting, momentarily
oyercame him.
Clemens was one of the early po-
neers OF Whitman county. locating
near Pampa with his brother. IL. T.
Clemens, in the year 1888. Many of
the early settlers of that community
attended his trial. expressing their
mistaken friendship for him and Of
fering whatever comfort and assist

From the time of the firing of
shot in the darkness at a young man
whom he testified he thought resent
ed his inquiries after his daughter
and was about to draw IA gun on him,
Clemens was never seen or heard of
by those who knew him until July II
last, when, worn out in spirit and
body by his wandering as a fugitive,
he entered Colfax and gave himself
up to the authorities.
The shooting, witnesses agreed,
was due to conditions growing out of
the absence from home of Clemens
daughter, who had left home be-
cause he did not wish her to attend
masquerade ball. At the time of the
shooting he was on his way to the
scene of the dance to try to get her

To the Chamber OF Commerce of
Pullman:
In the matter OF the state highway
leading south from Pullman to Col
ton, Johnson UniontoNn, Charleston,
Lewiston, POmeroy and Dayton, your
committee appointed to go over the
road and make a report to the
Chamber OF Commerce have the fol-
lowing to submit:
We left here on the afternoon of
October 8, taking our distances from
the speedometer of the automobile
driven by Mr.. Draper. With two very
excellent aneroid barometers We
checked elevations on all the govern
ment benches available, and took
the elevations at important changes
OF grade, and wherever there was
any indication that the grade was
over five per cent. At the Collins
place, some % miles from Pullman,
a delegation from Lewiston met us
and took us over a part of the pro-
posed new grade to replace the pres
ent Uniontown grade to Lewiston,
Idaho. This new grade will be
something like 10 miles long, no
part of which will exceed five per
cent. and considerable of it will be
less than four per cent. From Lew
iston and Charleston the delegation
went with us to Pomeroy. In that
delegation we had the county engin-
GERS of Nez Perez and Asotin
counties, who we're thoroughly well
posted on the roads likely to give
us the best gradients. At POmeroy
we took luncheon with members of
the Chamber of Commerce and from
there Mr.. j. e. Upper, former
county engineer, went with us to
Dayton. Mr.. Upper, was thorough
ly familiar with all of the road
leading over to Dayton and had
made some surveys over some of the
toughest of it.
Mr. Topper prepared map of the
road from Lewiston through Pome-
roy to Dayton. which was very help
full in making up adjusted distances
and estimates West of Lewiston
some three and one-half miles is
about a mile Of heavy rock work. We
found that the Lewiston-C Charleston
people had made a topography Of
this some time ago. copy of which
was supplied us TO assist in making
estimates of the cost. Going south
from Pullman there is about AS
miles of hard surface pavement;
from Cotton to Uniontown approx
mately 80 miles. The 10 miles from
Collins to Lewiston is to be con-
structed by the state of Idaho. From
Lewiston to Charleston there is some
thing over one mile of hard surface
pavement. As we entered Pomeroy,
we found about lnlee miles OF HdIu
surface road. On entering Dayton
we found about four miles of road
very finely graded and ready for
hard-surfacing. In making up our
estimates of 81 miles to Dayton, we
deducted the above hard surface
roads, leaving about 70 miles to be
improved by the state.
The road beyond Uniontpwn to
Collins should be generally relocat'
ed. 1t now goes over a number ci
hills, the most of which might be en-
tirely eliminated by shifting the loca'
ton OF the road slightly. and 1t Is the

the other data given is based on a

10th, and 18th.
Total distance from Pullman to
Dayton, 81 miles; distance already
improved, 16.9 miles; from Idaho
line to Lewiston to be constructed by
the state of Idaho, 10; making a
total deduction Of 26.9 miles and
leaving FOL miles to be constructed
by the state of Washington.

belief Of your committee that steps
should be taken to get the county 10
make such re-locations before
spring, so that any work of per-
manent nature hereafter done on
such strip of road would be done to
some advantage
From Lewiston to Alpowa creek,
with the exception of a mile of rock
work. the problem is not very diff
cult The road generally lies along
the river bank, and without serious
expense can be put in good condition.
From AlpOwa Greek over the hills to
Pomeroy we found a reasonably good
road. a very small amount of the
gradient was above five per cent and
all OF it would easily come within
the five per cent limit From Pom
eloy over to Dayton, the country is
very rough. The road travels over
series Of gulches and ridges. On
this strip of land a considerable dis
lance would have to be developed 10
hold the grades within the five per
cent limit
Your committee was very much
pleased with the route in general,
and considering the very large num-
Der of people and communities that
will be served by it, think it should
be built at an early date.
One of the chief advantages that
we see in this construction through
let it gives to the south. This route
would connect at the Idaho line with
the road leading into Boise, Idaho,
Salt Lake City and the Yellowstone
Park, connecting with the Lincoln
highway further TO the south OF
the part of the road in Washington
lying between Pullman and the
Idaho line, there is probably not
over "A miles that would have to be
built The rest of it, as we have
pointed out, is now hard surfaced.
We hope some time, when the
roads are in suitable condition, TO
make trip north from here through
Palouse Garfield, Oakesdale and to
Rosalia, to make a study of the route
north. OF this part of the route,
however, the federal typographical
sheets furnish a convenient method
of location and also of estimating
the cost.
We are attaching herewith an esti-
mate of the cost of building the road
from here to Dayton with other
data The two river crossings at
Lewiston and Charleston, being al
ready bridged, we have eliminated
the expenses of a bridge from these
estimates.
