EXTEND TIME FUR
 ASSESSMENT WORK

It isn't quite what they wanted, but 1t will help some, an action by congress yesterday in extend ing the time for doing assess ment work on mines for a period of six months. That was the information received yesterday by Attorney j. E. Morrison in a telegram tSom United States Senator-e elect Ralph Cameron.
 It had been hoped by miners and prospectors that a bill would be passed exempting them entirely from the years assessment work, and that is one of the things that MT. Cameron has gone to Wash ineton to secure. 1t IS believed, though, that before the expiration of the six months further exten- sion will be granted and that the effect of the measure desired will be secured.

FUR ROBBERY SUSPECTS
PROVE INNOCENT PEDDLERS

On suspicion of being implicated
in the $4,000 fur robbery which
occurred in Washington, d. C. on Oct
ober 4, four men wearing shipping
board uniforms were taken off the
Shelton stage by Chief Endicott at
$3.50 o'clock Wednesday and escort
ed to police headquarters. The con-
tents Of their baggage, however. did
not tally with the description Of the
missing furs, and the men were re-
leased.
Saturday night the four men had
registered at local hotel. stored
several sea bags, and instructed the
hotel keeper not to leave the door
unlocked while they were away. AS
soon as they left the proprietress
informed the police.
Because I detained the men they
decided not to take out peddlers'
license in Olympia" said Chief Endi-
colt, "and that suits me all right
because I believe the goods are
phoney stuff. BY wearing shipping
board uniforms they wish to give the
impression that the goods were sung
gled and consequently of far greater
value. They had bills Of sale which
showed that they acquired the furs
honestly"

STATE FARM INCREASE
EIGHTEEN PER CENT
Dean johnson State College Of Agri
culture COntrOverts General
Impression.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
Pullman, Nov. 29.-In the last Ii
years the number of farms in eigh
teen states has become smaller, and
generally, there Is tendency of coun
try people to move to town; but WI
need not be too seriously alarmed
about this, says Dean Edw. C. John
son, Of the College Of Agriculture a,
the State College.
First of all, he points out that in
Washington the last ten years has
witnessed an increase of 18 percent In
the number Of farms. He says also
in part:
THAT yields thus far have not suf
fered is illustrated by the fact that
for the last Is years there has been a
steady increase in the yield of all
crops per acre. According to the 1919
report of the Secretary Of Agriculture
the increase for the ten year period
ending in 1918 was rs per cent for
wheat, 10 percent for corn, "a per.
cent for oats. over 80 percent for hay
ELEVEN-Standard
while the average increase for the
major field crops of the entire United
States for this period as compared
with the ten year period ending in
1890, was 16 per cent.
"The increase in the number OF
horses in working team, the use ol
the tractor and the greater power gen
orally, demand an increased ability
and intelligence on the part of those
who farm. Also, the returns from
intelligent farming must be such az
to be An incentive to young men and
women Of ability and ambition, to
take up this, great calling.
"As long az there are new regions
to be reclaimed, as long as the number
of acres under cultivation increases
and as long as the yield per acre and
the output per man are increasing,
let us not decry too much the de-
creesing number Of farms in some Of
the older states. Let US. rather, help
to shape things SO that the people on
the farm may have the same opportun
ity for an education that is enjoyed by
those living In town."
