will be made of each explosion,
should any occur, and no effort will
be spared to find remedy for the
trouble.
Last year approximately 300 sep
arators were totally or partially de-
stroyed In eastern Washington, the
majority OF them in Whitman county,
and exhaustive Investigations were
made by members of the state ex-
pertinent station staff. The findings
were tabulated in bulletin form, and
the bulletins are available to all who
apply. The report stated that with
q considerable degree of certainty
the explosions and fires could be
charged to a combination of condi-
ticns, including the exceedingly dry
season, the unusually large amount
OF smut, the increased amount of or
ganic dust from thebroken grain and
straw, increased combustibility of
both smut and dust. and static cleo
tricity. The station experts recon-
mended the equipping of the separat-
ors with system of perforated pipes
through which water could be forced
when the explosion occurred. This
year a large number OF farmers will

COLFAx WARNING
CAUSES HASTY EXIT
Band of Light-Fingered Gypsies In
vades Pullman, but Mayor Routs
Them in jig Time-ColfaX
Paper Sends Warming

Warned through the columns of
the Colfax Palouser that a band of
light-fingered Gypsies was on its way
to Pullman after having been invited
to leave the county seat, Mayor Jack
son made the stay of the swarthy
tribe here short one on Wednesday,
and the cayalcade was sooi. on it's
way to Lewiston, where 1t hopes to
find more charitable city officials.
The band of travellers arrived here at
noon Wednesday, and within few
minutes the entire female part of the
contingent was making the rounds
of the business houses, offering to
tell fortunes for anything from one
cent to $50. Several reports of at
tempts to fleece citizens of large
share of their cash surplus were
heard and Mayor Jackson at once
organized a vigilance" brigade and
rounded up the scattered dark
skinned women, herded them to the
camp and ordered the entire brigade
to move.
Colfax was favored with a more
lengthy visit of the tribe, and the
Colfax Palouser had the following
to say regarding their activities
"A band of some rs or 30 Gypsies
arrived in Colfax yesterday after
noon in several dilapidated rigs
drawn by scraggly horses and for
several hours the people of Colfax
were given an opportunity to part
with cash, jewelry, vegetables or any
old thing that was loose. Immedi-
ately upon arriving In the city the
party scattered and If anyone was
overlooked in the way of an oppor-
tunity of making loan, we have not
heard about 1t. Every store in the
city was visited by the nimble-
fingered and quick witted crew and
the police were finally compelled to
| threaten arrest before they consent
ed to move. They asked how far it
was to Pullman and some one was
mean enough to tell them and point
out the direction, so the college peo-
pie may wake up this morning and
find a number OF swarthy visitors
sleeping on their lawns.
lone lady member of the Gang
charmed a man near the Inland de-
pot and was busily engaged in going
through the gentleman pockets,
with the victim looking on in seem
ing helplessness, when Sheriff Cole
came along and rescued the man.
The woman was taken to the county
jail, but was released later upon her
promise to leave town Immediately.
The same gang that visited Colfax
was driven out of Spokane few
days ago."

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Clyde Bailey, 12-year-old son of
j. W. Bailey, who resides on College
hill, had a narrow escape from death
or serious injury last SATURDAY. when
he dropped a lighted match into a
bottle of gunpowder with which he
was playing. The explosion of the
powder could be heard for several
blocks, and the boy probably owes
his life to the fact that the main force
of the explosion missed him. Pieces
of flying glass cut his lip, nose and
forehead, and seven stitches were re-
Qaired to close the wounds.

This year, as last. there is a large
amount of smut In the wheat, al
though not so much, probably, as last
year, and the season. to date, has
been comparatively dry. Under these
conditions the farmers are beginning
to express fear that the trouble of
last year may be again experienced
during this years harvest operations
unless these precautionary measures
are taken.

PULLMAN BOOSTERS
HOSTS TO MOSCOW
Joint Meeting of Pullman and Mos
COW Chambers of Commerce
Brings Out Big Attend
ance-IIaFOIlette Talks

Forty members of the Moscow
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
evening accepted the invitation of
the Pullman Chamber of Commerce
and met here in joint session. The
feature of the evenings entertain
ment was an address by Congress
man w. l.. LaFollette, who dealt
with conditions in South America,
where he was sent by the national
government to study trade condi-
tions. Upon the sinking of the Lusi-
tania Congressman LaFollette re-
turned without completing his in
vestigations, but his report of the
general conditions there was very in
teresting. Congressman LaFollette
stated that there are great oppor-
tunities in South America for capt.
talists, and mentioned the vast iron
deposits, there being immense lodges
of iron that would yield big returns
on the investment. The congress
man, however, warned the man of
small means to stay away from South
America, stating that the heavy taxa
ton, both on exports and imports,
was prohibitive to the man of small
capital.
Congressman LaFollette, for the
benefit of Senator McCroskey, jok-
ingly compared the conditions aris-
ing from the heavy taxation there
with the conditions which follow
President Wilson's new tariff laws
here. But the senator was not to
be outdone, and when the opportun-
ity was afforded to ask questions of
the congressman, he retaliated by
stating that it Is to be concluded
that the people Of South America
must be enjoying the same prosper
ity as are the people Of Uncle SAM
domain.
The visitors from Moscow were
banuueted in the Presbyterian
church, where they were welcomed
to Pullman by D. F. Staley, presl-
dent of the local chamber, and Har-
lev Jackson. mayor. Short addresses
