year lease on the rooms they now oc-
.cupy, but have already received APP
p'ications for sub-letting the building
and anticipate no trouble in dispos-
iEg of their lease when the toll board
is removed.
The Inland company purchased
only the outside plant of the Belr
company, and the interior fixtures,
Including the switchboard, will be
stored or shipped to San Francisco,
or to some point where they will be
Installed. Both panies will con-
tinue under their present franchises
pending action of the city council on
the application for recinding or the
Bell franchise and the granting of a
new franchise for toll service only.
The franchise tax is still bone of
contention in the city council, but the
Bell tax under the present ordinance
is paid until the first of next year
and the Inland company is operating
under free franchise which has IL
years yet to run, thus giving nearly
six months for an adjustment of the
question before another tax pay
ment is due.
The consolidation of the two con-
Germs will give the Inland company
675 telephones, which will require
the services of eight operators, be-
sides the toll board operator. The
company which now has an exclusive
exchange field is purely a home con-
Germ, being owned and managed by
local people, the greater part of the
stockholders being prominent farm
ers of this vicinity.

Wealthy Chinese TO Study Here

ing that the young man was DESTROYS
of receiving thorough instruction in
American agriculture, and the regis
trar at once communicated with
him, with the result that the foreign
visitor will this fall enroll at the
State College. He will arrive in Pull
man within a few weeks and will
spend the entire summer studying
practical farming methods, especially
methods of putting the wheat in the
sack or tank.
Anchung Kung is we'll educated,
being a graduate of Cambridge, and
the fact that he selected Washington
State College after touring thro n
many states in the Union, is The
cause of no little qualification.
A Russian youth, Wenordin by
name, has also written the college
officials, stating his intention of en-
rolling at the State College this fall,
he also to take a course in agricul-
ture and later to give freely of the
knowledge gained to his country

two were snow white. The freak is

The Caspian Sea.

The Caspian sea is as Herodotus said
1900 years ago. "a sea by itself, having
no connection with any other Every
schoolboy knows that now, but 1t Is
rema 'ka BILE to find Herdotus saying
so, because centuries after his time
such authorities as Strabo and Pliny
believed that 1t was connected with
the northern ocean by long and mar
row gulf. Geography seems to have
had a setback In the interval through
false information received at the time
of Alexander's conquests. Herodotus
says that the Caspian's length was
fifteen days voyage with rowboat,
its breadth eight days. Since the
actual figures are 75O miles and 400,
this shows that rowboat of the time
did fifty miles day.-London Graphic.

French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles The French
have for generations used a simple mix
ture of vegetable oils that relieve stom.
ach and intestinal ailments and keep
the bowels free from foul, poisonous
matter. The stomach is left to perform
its functions normally. Indigestion and
gastritis vanish.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, leading druggist
of Chicago. cured himself with this
remedy in a short time. The demand
is so great that he imports these oils
from France and compounds them under
the name of Mayr's Wonderful Rem.
edy. People everywhere write and tes-
tify to the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy-one dose
will rid the body of poisonous accretions
that shave accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer from
stomach, liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold by
leading druggists everywhere with the
positive understanding that your money
will be refunded without question or
quibble if ONE bottle fails to give Won
absolute satisfaction.
