STILL HOPE FOR CRESCENT.
Missing Length of Casing Replaced

it had been discovered that ]. v.
Hoffman, superintendent of opera
lions under J. c. Slater, had pulled
out the top length of 6-inch casing,
thereby letting water flow into the

liberately cemented or cased off the
oil, thinning" the well.
The discovery was made when
Driller Robb, in charge of the Wash

rarily shut down now pending receipt
of additional casing, went to work on
the Crescent hole at the request OF
the committee. He Immediately re-
placed the missing link of casing. %

\ FEW REMARKS ON THE POCL-
TRY EXPERTS VISIT.

Helen Dow Whitaker head of the
poultry department of the State Col
lege, spent the larger part of last
week in this county visiting the poul-
trymen and explaining the work that
the State College is doing and plan
ming to do for the poultrymen of the
state. The burden of Mrs. Whit
akers message to the poultry raisers
of the county is this:
The State College belongs to the
people of the state; they pay for it.,
and they should see to it that they
get their moneys worth. The col
lege is building real poultry de-
partment, with a four-fold purpose:
Cd The establishment of a four-year
course in poultry husbandry, to train
young men and women thoroughly in
the poultry business; CD a practical
short course for those who cannot
afford a more exhaustive study; go
extension work for those who want to
become more thorough poultrymen
but who cannot go to the college, and
CD a practical advisory department,
where the problems of the poultry
men can be worked out in the college
laboratory and where a trained force
with proper facilities at hand can
assist in solving the many perplexing
matters that come to all poultry rails
ers.
Mrs. Whitaker made 1t very plain
to all whom she met that the college
was ready and willing to be of service
and that it was up to the people to
demand efficiency.
Mrs. Whitaker is not hide-bound
theorist. She is a practical poultry
woman who spent nearly eight years
as breeder, not a side line breeder
but one who made her living by poul-
try alone. She knows the problems
of the breeder, she has taken the hard

DIRECTS EMPLOYERS TO
FIRST AID" IN MINES
Industrial Insurance Board Points
Out Saving i'm Lives and Conn
pensatiOn Premiums.

The industrial insurance commits
sion, in report JUST ssued on first
aid methods in the coal mines OF the
state, shows how this sort of precau-
ton BY employers and employees is
cutting down industrial insurance
premiums and saving life. The com
mission is conducting a campaign of
education which it hopes will result
in the establishment in all industries
of the state of first aid system such
as the coal mines have adopted.
DR.. j. w. Novel;, chief medical ad-
visor to the commission, attended the
annual first aid contests between
teams of coal miners at Gle Elum,
July 81, and acted as one of the
judges. The doctor reports that
even nurses and doctors could gain
pointers by watching the miners APP
ply dressings, tourniquets, splints
and bandages. The Washington
Union Coal company, operating the
mines at Tono in this county, also
has an efficient "first aid" system.
The coal miners have realized and
acted upon what the commission de-
sires every industry of the state to
realize and act upon-that quick and
efficient first aid to injured means
more rapid recovery and often the
saving of life, which cuts down pay
ments to disabled workmen and
saves pensions to relatives for those
killed.
The commission points out that
every employer should be interested
in doing that, for it means smaller
premiums to the state insurance
fund.

WHERE WE COME IN.

1t is pretty hard to help the man
that will not help himself. The poul-
trymen of this county are spending
their good money to maintain a poul-
try department at the State College.
They are entitled to every bit of help
that it can give but it cannot give
assistance without knowing where to
assist or what are the needs. Let US
get busy and get full value for the
money that We spend. Let's put
Thurston county on the poultry map
and more money in our pockets. The
college issues many useful bulletins;
get your name on the mailing list, ask
for information on special subjects;
write the college freely any time
about anything.

TO HOLD THIRD CORN SHOW.
O.-W.'s Annual Display to BE Held
at Walla Walla Late in Fall.

Announcement has been made that
the third annual corn show OF the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Nav
igation company will be held again
this year at Walla Walla, probably
late in November or early in Deem
Der. The acreage planted to corn IN
the territory served by the O.-W. K.
& N. is nearly three times greater
this year than last, so that plans are
being made for a show proportionate-
" larger and better than any so far
held.
The primary purpose of the corn
show is to convince the skeptical that
corn can be grown in washington
and the Northwest, especially III
Western Washington, and that 1t can
he made one of the leading and most
nrofitable crops. 1t is also designed
IN demonstrate to the farmers what
is being done and teach them how TO
do It with increasing success. AS III
former years, the show Will be unuer
the direction Of c. l.. Smith, agrlcui-
turist of the road, which fact makes
its success certain. The O.-W. K. 4
N has successfully combatted the
general belief that corn could not De
profitably grown in this section ana
10 confident the exhibits that Will ne
at the Walla Walla show Will con-
cretely prove this fact.

job of making living from poultry

sionary and breadth of vision suft-
cient to make her department one of
which the state can be proud.
Mrs. Whitaker did not come to this
county to criticize or to dispense poul-
try wisdom. She wanted to see the
focks and the men and women who
handle them, to study conditions that
exist here, to get in touch with the
men and women to whom she should
be of service, that she might the bet
ter understand their needs. 1t was
impossible for her to visit all or even
a small part of the poultrymen or to
reach them at the meetings that were
held, but it is to be hoped that the
poultrymen will get in touch with the
State College and make use of it's
facilities.

WHY GAS BILLS ARE HEAVY
Most Wall Papers Absorb a Large
Proportion Of Light, According
20 Scientist.

II your gas bills are heavy, don't
blame the dark weather or the extrav-
agance Of your housekeeper. Perhaps
the fault lies with the wallpaper It is
pointed out by Prof. sylvanus Thomp-
son, principal Of the City Technical
college, London. that much light Is
wasted owing to the use on our walls
Of paper which absorbs an unduly
large proportion Of light.
Before we can look for anything
like a sufficient return for the money
we spend on light, all the rich dark
tones, the deep crimson, which is so
popular for dining rooms on account
Of the impression Of warmth it gives,
and the various shades Of brown so
much used in Libraries and dens, must
be replaced by pure white or very light
shades which absorb a minimum Of
light.
Even when the illumination Of a
room is ample. it may be badly lit If
the walls absorb too much Of that IL
Illumination instead Of giving It back
by diffuse reflection. Few people are
aware how much light is thus wasted
and thrown away.
The deep scarlet and crimson wall
papers waste from 70 to as per cent;
brown paper wastes about IS to IS
per cent; even an ordinary yellow or
bun wallpaper wastes so to 60 per
cent Of the light for which In most
cases, a high price is paid. On the
other hand, white cartridge paper alb.
serbs and wastes only about 20 per
cent Of the light while a white-washed
wall absorba so to 40 per cent
Prof. Thompson strongly recon-
mends that. both for economy in arti-
fetal lighting and comfort in the day
light lighting Of large rooms, the cell
ings should be invariably white and
the walls, II not white, should at least
be Of the very palest tinta.
