of the three largest herds in the Unit
ed States, one of the other two large
herds being located in California,
while one is used to furnish milk for
the Cooke County Hospital at Chicago.
Eggers was formerly in the fish bust
ness, located in Tacoma, and went into
the goat business on small scale as
side line. Soon his side line out
grew his business and he looked around
for a suitable location for a ranch.
He is located on side hill of what
is generally known as logged-off land
where he has built his breeding pens
and barns. 1t is generally supposed
that a goat is smelly proposition,
but visit to the Eggers plant is suf-
ficient to convince the skeptic that a
goat barn does not have as much odor
as a COW barn or horse barn. AS a
matter of fact there is scarcely any
odor to the barn where the milk goats
are kept and MIXED. OF the barn
specially kept for rams the less said
about the odor probably the better.

At the present time Mr.. Eggers Is
selling his milk to the diaries for but

that he could get it into town he could
probably get more money for 1t at re-
tail, but it would undoubtedly take
some effort on his part to establish
market for his product. The milk

The character that made him face
the privations of immigration ingra-

was an unwritten law in Oregon at
that time that no colored people

was a member approached the Column

The practice in Oregon was to whip
the colored man and II he left after

nothing further was done, but II he
did not take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to escape he was whipped again
and again until he either left or died.
There is not any record of an at

or their six sons, the state has heard
a great deal. The Oldest, w. 0. Bush
was born before the couple left Mis-
souri, on their way west, and got the
hard training Of the pioneer. He took
to farming and that he worked the
prairie land where his father had
settled for all 1t was worth is shown
by the crop he took to Philadelphia
The soil of that section is a black
sandy loan on a gravel base. The
soil is not too thick in some parts and
has a tendency to drain, particularly
during hot, dry summer.
Shortly after the formation Of the
state Bush was elected a member OF
the legislature and served two terms
during 1890 and 1892. His record in
the law-making body was an honorable
one and that he was highly respect

O real estate folder. And yet at the
Worlds Centennial Exposition held in
Philadelphia in 1876, w. o. Bush, son
of George Bush, one Of the first set

premium for wheat he grew on Bush
Prairie, just south Of Olympia. The
premium is on file in Olympia to this
day and the wheat is preserved in the
Smithsonian Institute.
This record Of a great wheat yield

first colored man to come to this part

large number of useful citizens OF his

Pennsylvania in 1914, and with his
wife from Tennessee started west IN
1914.
Before coming west with his FAM

ABOUT 100000
CHILDREN AFFECTED
Believed This Number Work on Farms
During Their Schooling Period -
Causes Absence from School Work
Results in Michigan.

NEW YORK, June 12-That farm
work interferes seriously with school
attendance and causes retardation, re-
acting upon school attendance in three
ways-by keeping children out of
school altogether, by shortening the
school term, and by irregular atten-
dance-is indicated by study in seven'
states by the national child labor COM
mttee in the last -four years. Six
hundred and seventy schools were Wis
tied and attendance data for 1887
children gathered.
Investigations were carried on in
North Carolina and Kentucky, our two
greatest tobacco growing states; Col
orado and Michigan, two of the three
leading in sugar beet production; Ala
| 5ama and Oklahoma, two of the largest
| cotton growing states, and Maryland,
| leading in strawberry production.
| Children were engaged not only in the
cultivation of the crops mentioned, but
| in all kinds of general agricultural
work including blowing, planting
/
| los. eultivating potatoes, corn and other
vegetables. drying apples, herding eat
tie, dairying and caring for live stock
Nearly 100000 children in the Uni
ted States under Is years of age, co.,
per cent, live in rural communities
those having a population of fewer than
| $500. Nearly a million and a half
10 to 10 years of age, inclusive, are
employed in farm work, either upor
the home farm or working out. - In
other words, about one-tenth of all the
children le to Is years old and about
three fourths of this age group who arr
working are engaged in agriculture. OBJ
y.ouslv they ore recruited largely from
the rs 100000 country jewellers.
The most serious effect of farm labor
however, and the one which has beer
made the special point of the nationa
child labor committee 5 Investigations
is the amount Of absence which il
causes Children enter late in the fall
and leave early in the spring; even dur
ing the winter months they are alb
sent from time to time to help on tn
: farm.
The irregularity of the attendanc
/ of farm workers is reflected directl,
in their scholarship. The state depart

of the teacher in each case, over T
i per cent, Of these children were re

SHANGHAI, June 12.-The great gam

for years under the n-ine of .The Wheel"
which originally cost more than 100000
is to be converted into a charity hospital
The Chinese authorities have announced
that they intend to confscate the huge
building which now stands dark and
empty It's owners, however, threaten to
fight this program.
Up to about three years ago when the
place was closed by Chinese authorities
THE Wheel in Shanghai was one of the
biggest gambling establishments in the
Far East 1t was located in Chinese
territory ON North Honan road, 10
minute automobile ride from the neart
of the city In the days when the es
tablishment fiourished, three roulette
wheels with six lay-outs, beside faro and
other games were operated.
| After this establishment was closed as
the result of the efforts of missionary
interests no open gambling on any large
scale was permitted in Shanghai until las
4 fall when the interests that formerly op
Grated The Wheel opened near it
