UNIQUE EXHIBIT FOR
WHITMAN COUNTY
Waterfall of Shelled
Wheat Will BE the Big Attraction
in County Booth at Interstate
Fair

Whitman county will be represent
ed at the Spokane Interstate Fair
this fall by the most unique, and at
the same time the most comprehen-
siVe display of World-beating grains,
grasses, etc, that were ever sent
from this county. A. f. BroWnell,
who has charge of the county eX-
hibit has gathered together an eX
cellent display of samples, and Is
now preparing them for exhibition
purposes. A mechanical waterfall,
three and ore-half feet wide, with a
fall of eight feet, will occupy the
center of the stage in the Whitman
booth. The falls will be constructed
to represent Palouse falls, in the
western end of the county, and the
plump kernels of shelled wheat, after
plunging from the top of the falls to
the bottom, will be raised again by
an electric elevator so that the falls
will be in continuous operation.
On both sides of the unique water
fall will be the exhibition boxes, AXIS
feet. which will contain sheaf wheat,
oats and barley, as we'll as grasses
etc. Along the front will be sacks OF
all kinds OF grains and seed and
glass jars containing shelled cereals
of all varieties. Above the entire
exhibit will be huge banners on
which will be printed information
concerning the advantages and re-
sources Of the premier wheat pro-
ducing county of the United States.

TAKE WARNING

The Washington Water Power Co.
desires to warn its Pullman patrons
to be IN their guard against two
swindlers, who are trying to collect
meter deposits. These men appeared
III Tekoa the other day. Their
method is to demand a deposit of
$3.50 for a meter, or to put meter
out of business and then offer to fix
it for 81. Both are we'll dressed and
are smooth takers. If anyone calls
on you with such proposition you
are requested to at once telephone
the local office of the company.

The great majority of the farmers
are inclined to sell only what they
are obliged to and are holding the
bulk of their crops in anticipation of
greater buiges. Very few samples of

this week threshed his wheat, two
miles west of town, and encountered
very little smut. He will undoubt-
eddy have q No. l crop, and the yield
was 42-oushels to the acre. R. w.
Gwinn this week threshed his wheat
with two combined haryesters. and
his yield was probably cut down at
least 80 cent through smut. With
his two combined machines he
threshed a. acres day, and contends
that that method is considerably
cheaper than to bind and thresh.

College Expert in the Field

Experts at the State College are
working night and day in an en-
deayor 10 ascertain the cause of the
explosions of smut, SO that sure rem
edies may BIZ recommended, and Pro-
lessor e. G. Shaffer, agronomi3t of
the experiment station, today started
on tour of the county during which
he will visit the owner of every sep
sion and secure data which it is
hoped will aid materially in arriving
at a definite conclusion as to the
cause of the disasters. The college
has already recommended several
precautionary measures and these
are being adopted by many farmers
with good results, as we'll as other
measures recommended by the farm
ers themselves. Probably the most
feasible precaution which has yet
been recommended by the college is
the introduction CT the exhaust
steam from the engine into the sep
arator near the cylinders. This plan
has been adopted by many farmers
and is giving excellent results.
Ten Explosions Near Pullman
The explosions have eXacted heavy
tolls from Pullman farmers during
the past week and no less than ten
separators in this immediate vicinity
have suffered explosions and fires,
half of them having been totally de-
stroyed On Monday five machines
caught fire from the explosions in
the community four to seven miles
north of Pullman and east of Albion,
and the majority of them were total
" destroyed. An interesting feature
of these explosions is that they oc-
Cured within a few hours and all
the machines were operating within
a radius of three miles. These sep
arators were owned by S. Polmetier,
L. E. Morrison, George Harper, Mr.
Dooley and A. D. o'Kelley. Two of
them, the Morrison and Harper ma
chimes, were burning at the same
time in adjoining fields.
The greatest damage was done by
the explosion of the o'Kelley ma

chine, the fire following the eXplo-
sion reducing the separator to total
ruins within five minutes after the
explosion. Over 300 sacks of
threshed wheat were burned, as veil
as the straw stack and quantity of
stubble.
When the machine exploded Mr..
O Kelley was on his way from Pull
man with attachments to pipe the eX-
haust steam from the engine into the
separator and had the explosion been
deferred half an hour 1t might have
been ayerted, The separator was in
sured, as we'll as the wheat which
was destroyed.
Two Men Arrested
Considerable excitement was ere
ated last Friday when the C. E.
Snyder separator. then operating on
of Pullman exploded and was dam
aged by fire, within one hour after
two itinerant laborers, Ben Thorp
and Alex Payne, were discharged
from the crew for making alleged
threats to destroy the separator.
These men are alleged to have at
tempted for several days prior to the
explosion t. create dissension among
| the members of the crew, and to Lave
objected strenuously to working
more than ten hours each day. Just
prior to the noon hour of the day on
which the machine exploded, Mr.
Easto drove into the field with a
load of oats, which he desired to
have threshed for feed before the
crew ceased operations for the noon
hour. One of the two men is al
legged to have approached Mr.. Easto
and to have remarked that If the
oats were run through before dinner
the separator would explode.
After dinner the men were dis
charged by Mr.. Snyder for their per-
nicious attempts to create dissension
and because of their alleged state
m ents that the outfit would not fin
ish the season. They are said to have
remarked that in case they were dis
charged they would blow up the ma
chine. At 2 o'clock the explosion oc-
Cured, and as soon as the fire had
been extinguished Mr.. Snyder came
to Pullman to cause the arrest of the
! two men who were suspected of
| knowing mere concerning the cause
of the trouble than they cared to tell
Warrants were issued charging coer-
sion, alleging that they did then
and there, with intent to compel E..
E. Snyder to abstain from discnarg-
ing them from his employ, threaten
that in case they were discharged
they would destroy his machine"
Deputy Sheriff Baker came up
from Colfax to take the men to the
county jail, where they are still
awaiting trial. The case has attract
ed much attention and its outcome is
awaited With much interest. MI
Snyder repaired his machine and is
now threshing his own crop, having
announced that he will thresh no
grain except his own unless he can
secure insurance.

This Year

The time for filing notices of can

have filed for nominations on the
impressive ticket, and at the repub-
ucan primaries there will be no CON
test excent for county commissioners
and legislative nominations. The
democrats will have contests over
the nominations for state representa-
lives, county commissioners, auditor,
treasurer and clerk. The most in
teresting contest promises to develop
between H. II. Wheeler and s NJ.
