LOYALTY OF LANCASTER.

A fine spirit has been exhibited
by the merchants of our town in
consenting to close their stores and
also by the school authorities in
granting = holiday for Lancaster
county day ut the state fair. They
have thus demonstrated their 10y
atty in no uncertain way and
their appreciation of the fact that i
day spent thus profitably can result
only in good to this section. They
are willing to put aside their own
business for one day in order to give
the time to doing something for
their county. In this time of bus,-
ness depression and worry, when
the outlook is rather discouraging.
it is most commendable in our busii
ness men to forget themselves and
their own interests and devote
to advancing the interests of Lam
caster and advertising to the state
the advantages of the Red Rose
County" 1t shows a splendid low
atty to Lancaster, a desire to help
advertise its interests, a spirit which
has given impetus to the boosting
trip as no other agency could have
done. The merchants themselves
have promised to use their influ-
ence and those in their employ
will also lend a hand in making the
fair trip both pleasant and profit
able
Then the school csildren will be
free to spend day which will be
a red letter day in their lives.
They will gain more from the trip
than from ten days in school, for
they will learn lesson more i'm
portant than any that may be learn
ed from books, they will have dem
onstrated an example of county
pride. They will see that their
elders are loyal to Lancaster coun-
ly, that they are willing to leave
the daily grind at it's call and serve
as willing boosters OF their home.
1t Will make of the growing bows
AID girls better citizens to feel that
they have had part in the boosting.
And they will reason thus: III the
grown-ups care enough for old Lam
caster to take this trip the ounty
must be worth it. 1t will set the
children TO thinking along lines of
community building. 1t will do all
this and more, much more. We

If the busiest men and women in

Uncle Sam Keeps Eye
On Haytien' Revolution

Washington, D. C. - The survey
ship Eagle, at Gonaives, Hayti, has
been ordered to Port au Prince, sail
of only few hours, to observe the Ia
test revolution, at the request Of the
State department. The arship Petrol
or the Nashville may be ordered to
Hayti from Dominican waters if the
revolution should take on a more ser
ious aspect.
Meager reports to the State depart
ment were summarized in this state
ment:
''The State department is informed
of the capture at Thomaseau of one
Celestin, Haytian exile, who was the
promoter of the disturbance on the
Haytian frontier. Government troops
occupied Thomaseau on January 2, and
after the capture and execution of
several revolutionists quiet was re-
stored.
"a spirit of unrest is said to pre-
vail in the northern part of the coun-
try. The town of Trou was seized by
rebels on January 4, and the rebels
were reported afterward to be march
ing on Cape Haytien, 20 miles away.
Port au Prince is quiet.

HOmesteaders Make
Sure Thing of Filing

Spokane-Carrying steamer chairs,
blankets, bedding and days supply
of food, three Stevens county home
steaders and 13-year-old boy arrived
at the government land Office in Spo-
kane New Years day and received
permission from Register Hal J.. Cole
to 60 to housekeeping in front Of his
door until the morning Of January is,
when the settlers propose to file on
land on which they have lived vafi-
ously from four to seven years, and
which will be thrown open to settle
ment by the government on that day.
The first in line is Albert Schweizer,
the second, Anna Olson, aged sc years,
and the third Eric Olson. Jack Care
foot, the 13-year-old boy, was brought
along to carry provisions to the set
tiers and to hold place in the line for
his father. Fourteen other settlers
from the same vicinity in Stevens
county near Chewelah will arrive be-
fore filing time. Schweizer will file
on 16O acres Of land, on which he has
lived for seven years and has made
improvements valued at $1,000. He
explained that the party's early ar
rival was caused by the fear that
neighbors coveted the land and might
file on it.

Pullman The eighth annual con-

pers and Millers' association, common
ly known as the wheat convention, -
opened at the Washington State Col
lege with between 175 and 200 farm
ers from all parts Of the state in at
tendance.
A feature Of the convention was the
display of wheat, barley, oats, corn,
peas and beans which were grown at
the state experiment station here and
the sub-station at Ritzville. The ex-
hibits were prepared for the National
Corn exposition and will be shipped
to Dallas, Tex, for display shortly af-
ter the close of the wheat convention.
The hybrid wheats and barleys, the re-
suit of years Of extensive experiment

much attention.

dent of the State college, gave the ad-

Would Reduce Burden
of Military Prisons

Washington, D. ca plea for the
wedding out of undesirable men in the
navy 'by increasing the recruiting
stations at the expense of the pris-
ons," has been submitted by the house
committee on naval affairs by Rear
Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of
navigation.
Admiral Blue said there was only a
small percentage of navy offenders
whose conduct involved prison SEN
fences and that if they could be sum-
marily discharged the navy would be
better off and the government could
save money in prison expenses.
eff one-fourth of the money now
spent on prisons were added to the re-
cruiting," he said, "the navy would
be well supplied with excellent men,
permitting the discharge of the I'M
desirables and dissatisfied. This
would make assertions unnecessary.
A recruit costs the government $50 to
enlist and $50 for an outfit, while the
average cost of prisoner is from
$3.50 to $500. Besides, the service of
a prisoner is dead loss. l think the
punishments are too severe in a great
many cases and this subject will re-
ceive the serious consideration of the
Navy department.

FAVOR Bulk System
Of Handling Grain

lessor Waller spoke at some length on
methods Of handling grain. advocat-
ing the bulk system in preference TO
the sack method Of transporting.
Professor Waller promised the CO.
operation Of the college in the matter
of plans for desirable grain elevators
and offered to assist the farmers In Sc
curing better methods of handling
grain.
Louis Delivuk Of Quincy, WASH,
spoke on Handling of Grain. Mr..
Delivuk is an advocate of the bulk sys-
tenn and ridiculed the proposition OF
handling wheat in sacks. He cited
facts and figures in favor Of the bulk
system. In 1910, according to Mr..
Delivuk, the farmers of the state of
Washington received 10 cents per
bushel less for their wheat than the
average for all the farmers Of the
United States and in 1911 the aver
age was Is cents per bushel greater
than the amount received by Washing
ton farmers. Sixteen grain elevators
were built during the year 1913 by
farmers union companies in the state.

AVIATOR ORDERED TO
FIGHT DUEL WITH RIVAL

Paris-Jules Vedrines, one of the
two French aviators who recently flew
from Paris to Cairo, was ordered by
the French National Aerial league to
give satisfaction Immediately to
Henry Roux, his rival, who also ac-
complished the flight. Roux chal-
lenged Vedrines to a duel after the
latter had struck him in the face dur
ing an alteration.
The quarrel between the two avia-
tors arose because Roux is alleged to
have requested the Turkish officials
not to assist Vedrines on his flight in
the Orient.
All the celebrations which had been
arranged in honor of Vedrines by the
French colony in Cairo have been can
celled.

Union Pacific Caryes
Baltimore & Ohio Pie

New York-The executive commit
tee of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany announced Thursday that it
would recommend the distribution
among its stockholders of the Balti-
more & Ohio stock owned by the COM
pany, par value $82, 900, 900, together
with So per share in cash. Estimated
on the present market value of Balti-
more & Ohio stock, this is equivalent
to an extra dividend of 33 per cent.
The executive committee will lay
this recommendation before the board
of directors at its coming meeting. It
recommends, also, that if this distri-
button is carried into effect the regu-
lar annual dividend be correspondingly
reduced; that is, from 10 per cent to
8 per cent.

Finds Reservoir Site
On PdlOuSe Riuer

building the dam, with the exception
of cement, is close at hand, there be-
ing an abundance Of rock and sand.
The site is less than three miles
from the Cedar creek station on the
Northern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Bonestadt called the attention
of the committee to the fact that
there are no railroads, wagon roads
nor highly improved lands to interfere
with the work or make the cost of
securing the site excessive. Much of
the land that would be covered with
water is comparatively worthless, or
of little value, being rocky, rough and
partly covered with small trees. A
reservoir that would hold an immense
amount of water could be secured here
at comparatively light expense, was
the opinion of the engineer and the
committee.

New Discovery Shakes
Theory of Astronomy

San Francisco-The highest signifi-
canoe. in the opinion of astronomers
at the University of California, at
taches to an announcement just mace
by DR.. William Wallace Campbell, d.
rector of Lick Observatory, of dis
covery which affects the whole theory
of modern astronomy.
The discovery relating to the stars
as sources Of light and to the trans
mission of light waves through ether
has opened a new problem to scient-
lists. The solution may establish q
new law of physics. In that case,
astronomy must in turn rest on q new
basis.
"It has been found" says DR..
Campbell, in announcing his discov-
cry, through the president of the uni
versity, "that some variable stars
reach their maximum brilliancy at
different times, depending on whether
the observer is measuring their bright
ness by means of the red, orange and
yellow rays, or by means of the blue
and violet rays.
"The problem of explaining this
discrepancy calls strongly for solution.
"Is the phenomenon due to conditions
existing in the stars as light sources,
or are we dealing with fundamental
question relating to the transmission
of light waves through interstellar
space?
eff the latter condition is existent,
the foundation of observational astron-
omY is affected"

Colfax-What is believed to be one
of the best reservoir sites in the Pa
louise river and one that will meet
every requirement in the Palouse irri-
cation project was discovered by Fred
Bonestadt, engineer for the reclama-
tion service, who is inspecting the
Palouse river for the purpose Of locat-
ing sites for dams and reservoirs. The
site which pleased the engineer and
the committee which accompanied him
is six miles above Elberton and a
little more than one mile below the
mouth of Cedar creek.
The river is here walled by bluffs sc
