Washington White"

Mr.. Jarboe suggested Washington
White as an appropriate name for
the entire list of hard white wheats
that are raised here very success
fully. For export purposes all the
standard white varieties could be
grouped under that name, thus facii-
tating marketing and placing farm
ers in a position to create a de-
mand for their wheat that would
bring a premium in the foreign mar
kets. He also called attention to the
fact that the wheat demanded by
local millers is of the white variety
and that under the proposed system
they would have no trouble in get
ting any quantity Of the milling
grades.
The multiplicity Of types of wheat
raised in Washington, which makes
grain standardization and efficient
grading a hard problem, is due, ac-
cordng to Mr.. Jarboe to the nature
of the settlement here Washington
farmers as a general rule are immi-
grants from the eastern states, and
each comes to Washington with some
pet variety in mind. in most cases
the variety that thrives best in his
home state, Thus hundreds of diff
ferent types are raised and in many
cases wheats of the same type are
given different names thus making
grading a difficult problem.
The new early BarG wheat, just
recently introduced in the Big Bend
country, especially around Ritzville,
was mentioned by the grain inspector
as an excellent grade, and one which
is destined TO become popular with
both farm ers and millers in the drier
sections. The only objection to the
new variety is that it is bearded. but
1t is equal or superior to bluestem in
milling qualities and grades as that
variety, commanding the highest
price on the market. 1t is an ex-
cellent drouth resister having very
light straw.

BISHOP hebron TO
RECOVER FROM ATTACK

WinOna, Minn., Aug. 28.-The Rt
Rev. Patrick R. Heffron, bishop Of
the Winona diocese of the Roman
Catholic church, has a fair chance to
recover from the two bullet wounds
inflicted by crazy priest who crept
into the private chapel at St. Mary's
college where Bishop Heffron was
celebrating mass, and fired upon him
at short range with a small calibre
revolver.
This afternoon a bulletin issued
from the bishops bedside by attend
ing physicians announced that the
patient was resting comfortably and
that he probably would recover, but
that the outcome would be in doubt
for several days because of the posi-
bility of complications. ~--.
The would-be assassin, L. M.
Lesches, is locked in Jail with heavy
guard over him. The bishop was in
his private chapel when Father
Lesches, evidently laboring under the
delusion that he had been treated
unfairly because he had not been as
signed to a parish, entered and made
his way forward so quietly that the
bishop was unaware of his presence
until the shots were fired.

POINT NLAND CASE
Cheyenne Man Causes Writ of Man

TAX JUDGMENT CAUSES LAWSUIT

j. L. George, county auditor, has
been served with writ of mandamus,
issued upon the order of Judge c.
w. Stanton, requiring him to show
cause why he should not issue to the
fee owner of a 360-acre tract of. land
in this county certificate of redemp-
tion from a tax judgment sale of the
land.
The situation is novel and inter-
esting. The land is owned by J. r.
Carpenter, a resident of Cheyenne,
Wyo. He had arranged with a local
resident to pay the taxes in consid-
GRAFTON for the use of portion of the
land, and for a number of years took
it for granted that such agreement
was being faithfully carried out AS
a matter Of fact, though, the taxes
were not paid and tax judgments
therefore were duly entered and
sold. The purchaser of the tax GER
tificates then had the county auditor
issue the formal notice of the ex-
piration of the period of redemp-
tion.
This notice was served by publ
cation, the services becoming COM
plete on July %, 1914, which enti-
tied the owner to sixty days there
after in which to redeem. Shortly
before this sixty days period expired
the owner learned of the situation
and wired from Cheyenne to the
county auditor for information. The
county auditor, through one of his
deputies, Immediately advised him
that it required 1902 to redeem and
that September %, 1914, was the
last day for redemption.
The owner then remitted to the
auditor 1910 to cover the required
amount, interest and COSTS This
was received by the auditor on Sep
tember %. At this juncture the
owner Of the tax certificates object
ed to the redemption on the ground
that the sixty days. redemption per-
iod had expired on the day previous,
September 21, and that his tax certi-
ficate had then ripened into title.
The county auditor accordingly re-
fused to issue the certificate of re-
demption to the owner, and hence
the litigation. Judge Marshall A.
Spooner, of this city, represents Car
penter in his effort to pay the tax
and have his title restored. The
matter is to be heard in district
court here on September Is.

Thrashing in North Dakota and
Northern Minnesota is being delayed
by the lack of laborers and the cry
for more men, hundreds of them, is
constantly heard. From Fargo comes
a loud appeal for men and w. b..
Sherman, of the Western Employ
ment Agency, in letter to the Pio-s
neer, says:
eff. you have any idle men in Be-
midi who want TO get rich quick,
send them to Fargo. We need hum
dreds of men for thrashing the larg-
est crop North Dakota has ever had.
Good wages and no men. Thrashing
will be en- in fun blast, if we get the
men by the last of next week. Make
a noise"
They Are Needed Here Also.
There is no excuse for men being
idle now, for not only do the har-
vest fields need laborers, but the en-
ployment agencies in Bemidji have
jobs for a large number on road con-
struction. Charles Daley, Ben Lund-
gren and I. B. Olson have cards out
calling for nearly 100 men. -.

county.
It was reported to the governor
that the farmers complained Cana
dian officers were sending the men
back across the line.
''The Federal officers have been de-
porting foreigners who did not carry
passports" said Mr.. Blethen. "I
have not been Informed that Cana

Austrians Work for Farmers.
.s-.. Along the Canadian side of the
boundary are many Austrians. Some
are citizens, while others are merely
domiciled there. During harvest
time they have been in the habit Of
crossing the line to work for the
American farmers in Kittson county
'..They have entered illegally before
this year, but nothing was ever done
toward sending them back across
the line. Hard times in Canada this
year added to the number of men
coming across the line to work. When

active.
Deported Men Are Needed.
"The deportation of the harvest
hands caused serious inconvenience
to the farmers. Many of the Aus
trians worked for the same farmers
each year and had grown to be de-
pended upon. Labor has always
been scarce here during the harvest
season..
"The fact that many men came
over the line from Canada did not de-
prive local labor from getting en-
ployment. I would suggest that the
foreigners be let alone and be allow
ed to aid in the harvest work here. :

Struck Great b, caI = Peace.
FULL PREPARATION TO b.
Should U. S. Claim of Torpedoing o.
Arabic Be Found as Alleged
Offer Before Lansing.


Washington, Aug. 28.-London in
formation today tells that the papers
of that city express opinion that
President Wilson has struck a great
blow in behalf Of peace in inducing
Germany to modify its submarine
warfare. They believe that Germany
is sincere in it's promises.
The administration gives Ger
many credit for absolute good faith
in her latest attitude regarding sub
marine case, in the Arabic case par
ticularly. This statement comes rs
a denial to reports which have been
circulated to the effect that the
kaiser is merely seeking to start a
controversy with the United States.
1t now seems that all danger of q
German American controversy is now
passed.
Germany's intention to offer full
satisfaction to the United States for
the sinking of the liner Arabic with
the loss of two American lives was
communicated formally to the state
department yesterday by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
and on instructions from the Berlin
foreign office, the ambassador read to
Secretary Lansing memorandum
outlining the position of his govern
ment.
1t promised that if it was found
that if the Arabic was attacked with
out warning, the imperial govern
nent not only would promptly dis
avoW the act but would give the
United States "full satisfaction"
This, it is we'll known, would have
to include reparation for the Amer
leans lost and assurances that such
tragedies would not be repeated.
Await Report.
No further developments in the
situation are expected now until the
submarine commander who sank the
Arabic has reported to Berlin In the
meantime, President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing, though visibly en-
couraged and relieved by Count Won
Bernstorff's assurances, and reports
from Ambassador Gerard of his con-
ferences with Foreign Minister Won
Jagow, are in waiting attitude.
Before the American government
can speak, there must be forthcoming
the German disavowal and explana-
tion Of what all evidence yet re-
ceived has seemed to prove was an
"unfriendly act.''
"If" Causes Anxiety.
About the only shadow over the
optimism in official circles today was
cast by the "if'' in the promise con-
veyed by Ambassador von Bernstorff.
Some officials thought a disposition
by Germany to question the evidence
that the Arabic, peaceful passenger
vessel, unarmed and inoffensive, was
attacked without warning, might
lead to interminable and unsatisfac-
tory negotiations.
Expect German Demand.
German officials have made it
plain that their government as soon
as it has relieved the strain upon it's
relations with the United States by
limiting submarine activities, will
ask that Great Britain and her allies
cease interfering with legitimate
neutral commerce and thus permit the
importation of fOodstuffs for the Ger
man civil population.
