COIFAX COUNCIL
IN MONEY TANGLE
Eugene Brown Brings suit to Re-
strain Colfax City Treasurer
From Paying Warrants Issued
i'm Payment of Materials
said To Have Been
Furnished by
Officials

Eugene Brown of Colfax, has en-
tered suit against the former mayor
and city council of the city of Colfax
in an effort to stop payment on num-
erous warrants, aggregating nearly
$Z5,000, which he alleges were issued
in payment of materials and supplies
furnished the city by firms in which
Councilmen and city officials were in
terested. The case is said to be the
outgrowth of a factional fight which
for several months has torn Colfay
asunder and which was big factor
IN the recent city election at the
county seat.
John w. Mathews of Pullman has
been employed by Mr.. Brown to
prosecute the case and interesting
developments are expected when the
forces clash in court. The defend
ants are cited to appear before the
court next Saturday to show cause
why an injunction pendente lite
should not be granted restraining
them from paying the warrants. In
the meantime temporary restrain
ing order is in effect.
The case is attracting wide atten-
ton and involves the validity of some
$4,000 in warrants issued in pay
nent of the new city hall at ColtaX.
Many of these warrants were pur-
chased as an investm ent by ColfaX
people, who are indulging in consid-
cradle worry as a result of the suit
to stop payment.
Eugene Brown, who brought the
suit said:
This is but the beginning of d
thorough investigation into the af-
fairs of the city. The property own
ers are behind the move. We can
raise $4,000, if necessary, to carry
the case through the courts, and we
shall have a thorough investigation
of every department.
THE street paving is to be investi-
gated. We believe that we can show
that the hundreds of thousands of
dollars spent for street and sewer
and other improvements were ex-
pended illegally. We have all Of the
facts. Our committee has spent
weeks in going through the records
aud we have the number and amount
and date of every illegal warrant,
and they will run into the tens of
thousands of dollars"

and the mining course is proving
more popular than ever before.
Washington, Oregon, Montana.
Idaho, British Columbia and England

Effect of Treatment Upon Grain
Threshed in Different WAYS

Grain shelled OUT by ham,;
threshed upon the farm of the col
lege; and obtained from the Pullman
Mill, threshed in the ordinary COM
mercial way, and not cleaned was
treated with bluestone in the
strength of l lb. to 21a gallons of
water for min; 10 min; 80 min:
mr.; 3 hr.; is hr.; and 2l hr.
In the first five of these treat
ments the grain was removed and
then placed in water to soak for Is
hr., then transferred to damp cham
Der for testing as to terminating
quality. The lS-hr. treatment was
removed to termination chamber at
once at the end the treatment and
the 21-hr. treatment was washed in
water thoroughly before being
placed in the termination chamber.
The final examination of these seed
treatments gave percentages of ger
mination as recorded in the table be-
low, the strength of bluestone used
for treatment being l Id. to 21b gal
o. water:

IS SMUT SOLUTION
CLOSE At HAND?
Investigations at State Experiment
Station Give Satisfactory Re
sults--Hand Threshed seed
Grain May Solve Problem

One of the most interesting and
satisfactory sessions Of the annual
wheat convention from tine stand
point of the wheat farmer, was that
Of Wednesday morning, when John
G. Hall, plant pathologist of the eX-
pertinent station, and II. NJ. Wool
man, assistant smut investigator
gave the results Of recent investiga-
tions at the station for the proven
ton of smut in grain. That seed
grain which is carefully threshed by
hand or by some other means not so
strenuous as the threshing machine,
will stand a solution of formaldehyde
or bluestone of sufficient strength to
kill the smut germs without impair
,ng the terminating power of the
kernel, is the belief of many farmers
who listened to the results Of the in
vestigations.
In grain threshed in the regular
manner the coating on the kernel is
cracked to considerable extent and
the poisonous mixture permeates the
kernel, and if the solution is of con
siderable strength or if the seed is
treated for a considerable length of
time the terminating power of the
seed is killed. In grain which is
threshed by hand the coating re-
mains perfect and the seed may be
treated in very strong solution for
hours without impairing the ger
minating power.
The following is a summary of the
remarks of Professor John G. Hall
concerning the Investigations:
Treatment of seed grain for the
prevention of smut was first prac-
ticed about rs years ago and has
since spread until now the practice is
almost universal in all wheat grow
ing regions.
The substances used for the treat
rent of seed grain are now limited to
two-bluestone, or copper sulphate,
and formaldehyde In some regions
one is preferred and in other the
other. 1t does not seriously matter
which is used, as either has proven
fairly satisfactory when properly
used.
In all of our work we have mixed
the grain with the smut in order to
be sure that we were not dealing
with grain that was free from smut.
On this account the averages of the
percentages of smut are higher than
would be the case if ordinary grain
had been used. Our treatments of
bluestone were made at two times;
one week before planting and upon
the day of planting.
With the bluestone treatments
three different lengths of time were
used and four strengths Of solution.
IN these treatments it was found that
the amount of smut decreased with
the length of time of treatment with
the same strength of solution, and
that the amount of smut increased
with the weakness of the solution
used for the same length of time.
The averages of the percentages of
smut for all four different strengths
of treatment at 2 min; 10 min; and
90 min, is here shown:
Time of Treatment Pet. of Smut
minutes ........1S.21
10 minutes ....14.67
90 minutes .....13.95
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-01-09

In both methods of treatment of
the seed grain there was slightly less
smut than in that which was planted
upon the day of treatment than in
that which was not planted until one
week after the treatment.
