ELECTRIC POWER RATE IN
PROCESS OF ADJUSTMENT

If the Pacific Power & Light
company will make a flat rate for
electrical power to those using it
for pumping for irrigation, along
the lines decided uron at the meet
ing of power users at Wells Office
last Saturday, it is probable that
the long drawn out fight for lower
power rates in this valley will be
over. The meeting Saturday was
we'll attended by local power users
and the power question was thor.
oughly discussed. w. j. Kincaid
was made chairman of the meeting
and L. Andrew Codding acted as
secretary.

power users at the meeting to rep
resent them at a conference with
the company officials, to be held in
Seattle within the next week or
ten days. If a fiat rate for power,
that is agreeable to both sides, can
be agreed upon, the Public Service
commission has said that it would
make that rate its order and the
power company will then dismiss,
so far as irrigation power rates are
concerned, the appeal from the
commissions decision which is now
pending before Judge Mitchell of
the Thurston County Superior
court, and the new rate will be-
come effective at once.

J. w. Brice Dies
In Seattle

1t is with sorrow that the
Spokesman this week chronicles the
death of j. w. Brice, which oc-
Cured in Seattle, Wednesday, Feb
ruary 2, at the home of his step
daughter, Mrs. w. G. Griffiths.
When Mr.. Brice's health began to
fail last fall, he was taken to Sc
attic that he might receive better
care and attention. He grew grad
ually worse, however, and since
December q has been confined to
his bed. The body was taken to
North Yakima for burial, the fu-
neral services being held at II
o'clock Wednesday morning at the
Wenas school house. Interment
was made in the Wenas cemetery.
Mr.. Brice was one of the pio.
neers of the White Bluffs valley.
Born in England, Of Irish parent
age, he came to this country when
but five years old and with his par
ents settled in California, where he
grew to manhood. He was mar
ried there and with his wife and
only child, a daughter, came to
Washington in the early days, max
ing the trip in covered wagon.
They located on the Ahtanum, near,
Yakima, where shortly afterward
his wife died. Later, he married
Mrs. Strong, at that time the post
mistress at Wenas.
Mr.. Brice always took a great
interest in public questions and
during his residence in Wenas was
twice candidate for the state SEN
ate. He came to White Bluffs
more than 20 years ago and took
up homestead on the Columbia
river, where he lived until he was
taken to Seattle last fall.
With sturdy sense of justice
and of kindly dispc sition. he was
beloved by all who knew him. The
following tribute by one who knew
him we'll, is quoted from a Yakima
paper:
"Mr. Brice was one of the most
useful citizens who ever lived in
the Wenas. He was a Methodist
in religion and was a great worker
in the Sunday School and church.
He was strong Democratic politi-
clan and took an active interest in
all public matters. In my opinion
he was one of the best orators we

Cascade Show
Arouses Interest

The National Associations of the
East are this year showing greater
interest than ever in the Cascade
international Stock Show.
Last year the Shorthorn Associa-
ton, of which Mr.. F. w. Harding
is secretary, put up $1.00 extra
premium for every $500 offered
by the management of the Show.
This year, in addition to what
the Shorthorn association will
probably do, the American Shire
association has already offered two
very beautiful silver trophy cups
for the Grand Champion Stallion
and mare, any age, shown at the
1916 show, also intimating that
next year they will be glad to do
more. The conditions governing
this offer are that the animals WIN
ming the above silver cups must be
recorded in the American Shire
Horse association stud books, and
properly transferred to present
owners on the record books of the
association.
The National Duroc.Jersey Rec
ord association has also recognized
the Cacsade International Stock
show and will give some financial
assistance for 1916.

man succeeds in running this gaunt-

The New York World, discussing

Democratic leader in the House.
Nothing of the kind. Mr.. Kitchin is

at the head Of the committee on Ways

Mr.. Kitchin came to Washington as a
Congressman and he managed to get
appointed on the Ways and Means
Committee. Thene he has continued
until death, by defeat, translation to

CANNING CORN.

Corn may be canned by the colo
pack method as follows: Use fresh
ly picked corn. Boil on the cob fro.a
5 to Is minutes. This is called blancn-
ing. Then dip into cold water. Cut
corn from the cob with a sharp knife.
Pack jars within half an inch of the
top. Add one teaspoonful salt to ti:s
quart and fill jar with boiling water.
Put on rubber and adjust cover.
Mason jars, top should be screwed
tight and then reversed a quarter of
a turn. Glass tops have one clarc
brought up over cover while second
clamp is left loose; Economy ia )
have spring fastened over top.
Set jars in tightly covered vessel
of boiling water should cover top Of
jar at least one inch and keep water
boiling for three hours. A wash
boiler or lard can with a false bottom
made of lath makes a very good re.
cepticle for sterilizing. The fal :
bottom is necessary for two reasons
to allow free circulation Of boiling
water on all sides of the jar; and to
prevent jar from cracking.
When corn has been sterilized three
hours, remove jars, tighten cover or
adjust second clamp and invert to
cool.-Ex. Dep. N. D. Ag. Col.

ANIMAL DISEASE CAUSED
BY PLANT DISEASE

Ergot, sometimes called spurred o,
horned rye, is caused by a fungus
that replaces the kernel with ker-
mel shaped body one half to one inch
in length and of a purplish color. Err
got bodies also form on some of the
wild grasses as the rye grasses, wheat
grasses, blue joint and reed grass.
The poisonous character of ergot is
principally due to its exciting influ-
ence on the muscle of the uterus ami
smaller arteries. As result Of the
former, contraction Of the uterus re-
suits, which, in pregnant animals re-
suits in the expulsion of the foetl
abortion. The latter action causes the
contraction of the walls of the tissue
feeding arteries, which prevents the
passage Of the volume of blood re-
quired forthe nourishment of the IT,.
sues. Tissues thus deprived of blood,
dies, and in such cases we speak OF
gangrene. This usually happens t.

STUDEBAKER FACTORIES
MODELS OF EFFICIENCY

Where 1000 men produced $1,000
cars in 1913, today 1000 men are pro-
ducing at the rate Of 100000 cars an
nually.
Such is the record in efficiency that
has been obtained in the Studebaker
factories. Between 1913 and the pres
ent GATE, as experts visiting the plant
have observed, a veritable transfor-
nation has taken place.
One of the wonders of the automo-
bile industry has been the advent of
large production, which brought with
it the advantage Of quality purchas-
ing at lower prices, and made advis-
able the introduction Of machines that
were expensive in first cost but more
than paid for themselves within a
year year in the savings they affected.
Quantity production such as the
Studebaker corporation employs not
only permits of lower prices but also
better values. The overhead is cut
down, due to the fact that it is dis
tributed ever great number of cars
The overhead on the cost of building
the present Studebaker models has
been reduced to a low figure, being
so per cent of what it was three years
ago.
i With the lowering of the overhead
costs has come about rise in the
percentage of materials. The cost of
building the Studebaker car, high
{; percentage made possible by big pro-
duceion, reduced overhead and the
introduction of efficiency methods un-
dreamed of few years ago.
Increasing the capacity of the Stu
debaker plants has lowered the cost
of labor, but the big item has been the
elimination of man-productive labor.
"The interesting thing to the mar
investing in an automobile is how
much material and direct labor he is
getting" says J. G.. Haslet, vice
president in charge Of engineering
and production of the Studebaker cor
poration. "These are really the items
that are of the greatest value to him,
The overhead expense giving hin,
/ nothing, and neither does the selling
expense, though both are necessary
By reason of greatly increased pre-
duection and careful methods we have
brought up the items that count most
and has reduced everything else to 9
minimum"

nearly all the principal cities of the
country, the $25,OOO Studebaker gold
