GROUND-HOG PROMISES
MODERATE WEATHER

The grounding emerged from his
hole Wednesday after a lengthy hi
bernation, shiyered in the zero
weather, looked around for his
shadow, which he failed TO locate,
then promised the shivering masses
of people relief from their long suf
fering. That, in itself was cause
for general rejoicing, but the pesky
crtter has failed ingloriously to
make good his promises and has lost
a goodly number of previous staunch
believers However, the infalliable
Hicks himself has predicted an early
break in the cold spell, and those
who are prone to accept the prog
nostications of weather prophets as
reliable see another ray of hope.
The story of the grounding see
ing his shadow on February comes
to us from very old superstition.
1t is believed the Scandinavians first
save thought to it on their church
holiday, Candlemas. when the hedge
hog was supposed to wake up from
his long winters nap. He would
crawl out of his hiding place and
look around. II the sun cast his
shadow on the ground he would get
scared and run back to his hole and
sleep for six more weeks, but If he
did not see his shadow he would
smile right then and there on the
world and give the signal for spring
to begin. Hundreds OF years ago the
people believed in this and other
superstitions equally foolish. The
farmer would put his confidence in
the little animal and plant his seed
according to his staying or hiding.

Mr.. Corbaley, lis a study OF such
driers as there are in the northwest

their product with the evapOrators
of New York state, which Dr. Cald-
well has been studying recently. We
want to determine the per cent Of
shrinkage and the best varieties for
drying, and for this purpose tests
are to be made of fruit sent from
the Spokane district, from southern
Idaho and from other Washington
districts.
when these studies have been
made DR.. Caldwell will prepare a
sheet of instructions to be circulat-
ed among the apple growers, con

may be expected"

Bryan May Run for i. S. Senate

OF The public eye who have demon
strated the ability to deliver votes.
Two things Mr.. Bryan would like
to know, from the form the query
is taking. First, is it true that there
is large fraction of the republican
party a one-third fraction, say. that
is disposed TO view unfavorably both
the progressive candidacy of Senator
Miles PoindeXter and the stalwart
candidacy of Senator of Congressman
W. +. Humphrey? Second, is Il. A.
Bryan, carefully and impersonally
considered, the man who can appeal
to this one-third fraction with a
chance of success, when aided by
friendship and personal influence?
Should the returns from these two
propositions be satisfactory, the edu-
Gator will take to this senatorial race
like duck to water.
Naturally the process going on in
political channels in this matter has
attracted some attention. Congress-
man Humphrey is already wigwag-
ging frantic signals to his supporters
III eastern Washington, outlining tao
tics to be adopted. Mr.. Humphrey
would like somebody, several some
bodies in fact, to tell Mr.. Bryan that
lie, Humphrey, loves him, Bryan, like
Il brother; that there are many other
things in politics besides a senatorial
nomination; that there are are lus-
cious cabinet posts to come if a re-
publican administration takes office
next year. Would Mr.. Bryan like to
pose a new com missioner of educa-
ton was to be chosen, would Mr.
Bryan like to be it? That nothing
would be too good for Mr.. Bryan, if
only he wouldn't gum up the cards
this way and hamper the attempts of
Humphrey to settle the political hash
of the returning bull mooser who has
the senatorial title now.
This is one reason why there will
be an interesting campaign in this
state this fall. Humphrey, by hard
year of political work, aided sub
rosa by Senator w. l.. Jones, has
lined up the republican organization
hard and fast all over this state to
support his ambition, but he knows
as well as anybody else that tying up
the leaders does not tie up the pri-
mary vote.

Accompanying the second applica-

men and citizens of Pullman, asking
the council to reconsider its pre-
Vious action and grant the license.
Upon request of Councilman Swain
the entire petition was read, when
Councilman Hammond moved for

Gilman kruegol and the vote was
taken without discussion. With six
of the seven votes cast, and Council
man Scott, who registered his vote
against the license at the former

Mr.. Moss has already ordered his

Washunga, Sioux brave, returns
from the war, bringing with him a
captive maiden. Washunga pleads
for share of her love, but she re-
fuses. She yields to her fate and
becomes his unwilling servant. While
working for her master she hears
the far-off sound of lovers flute,
and stops to think of her own Crow

flute sounds, this time nearer, and
soon Kola, her lover, for whom she

design of Washunga disappears when

Spokane Paper Says That Friends of
Educator Are Feeling the
Republican Pulse

The Spokane Chronicle, in a recent
issue, published the following article
which will be of interest to the many
friends OF DR.. e. \. Bryan in Pull
man and vicinity:
1t is now really true-but most
recently true-that Enoch A. Bryan,
late president of Washington State
College, is changing his political atti-
tude from that of a man casually in
terested in certain jobs to that of a
man who is "a receptive candidate for
the United States senate,
Certain inspired friends of Mr..
Bryan, who know how to do the job,
are eXpeditiously feeling out the re-
publican party in the state, in a
fashion that makes it certain that
their efforts are fully authorized by
the man in whose behalf they are
made. Letters and personal vista
tions alike are methods used in this
careful investigation. When it is con-
cluded there will be an announce
ment from Pullman, publicly, if Mr..
Bryan goes in, and most privately if
he stays out.
This new effort should not be con
fused with the regulation Bryan noise
that has been circulating ever since
his resignation went to the State
College board of regents. A school
master and likewise a political figure
for % years, Mr.. Bryan has some en-
thusiastic friends-fOr example,
Charles Timblin of Spokane-who
have made it their duty during a
year to raise yell for Bryan with
foghOrn regularity in whatever polit-
zeal or non-poltical gathering Of
fered them opportunity.
Sound Out Individuals
What is being done now is to as
certain exactly just how a large num-
Der of individuals all over the state
would receive Mr.. Bryan'S candidacy
and the identity of the indi-
viduals approached makes it GER
tain that Mr.. Bryan's acute sense of
political verites has been used in pre-
pairing the lists Uniformly these
