J. NJ. REID RETURNS
FROM INTERESTING TRIP

About three weeks ago Mrs. E. j..
Eggers of Orosi, California, sister
of J. NJ. Reid, arrived in Pullman
and visited for ten days, during
which time trips were made to Gar
field county, Lewiston, Idaho, the
storm scenes and into the country.
Mr.. Reid accompanied Mrs. Eggers
on her return trip to points in West
ern Washington and then went on to
Portland, Oregon. He has just re-
turned and says that Mr.. and Mrs.
C. F. Anderson, better known to Pull
man people as Andy" are enjoying
life at Chehalis and that the Chehalis
National bank of which he is cashier
is prospecting, as proved by its in
creasing deposits.
At Woodland they visited w. H.
Croco, cousin whom Mrs. Eggers
had not seen for so years. On Sun
day, August 1, they attended a re-
union in celebration of the 73rd
birthday of A. C: REID, brother of
j. MS. A big birthday dinner was
served by Mrs. J. NJ. Richardson (nee
Zella Grantham) who will be remem-
bered by former students of Pullman
high school and the State College.
This was the first time in AZ years
that the members of the family pres
ent had been together. In looking
through an old family bible, the date
of the birth of Mr.. Reds great great
grandfather was found recorded in
1888.

MISS EILEEN BRACKNEY
DIED IN CALIFORNIA

Pullman people will learn with
sorrow that Miss Eileen Brackney,
only daughter of Mrs. Nina Brack-
ney, died last month in California.
Mrs. Brackney is cousin of DR.. e.
A. Archer and made her home with
him while Eileen was attending the
State College.
The Glendale (CalifD News pub
lished the following notice of the sad
event:
Miss Eileen Brackney, only
daughter of Mrs. Nina Brackney,
died Saturday, July "a, at the home
of her cousin. Mrs. Bennett, 217
South Jackson street. She had been
a patient sufferer from tuberculosis
for several months. This dread dis
ease fastened on her following an at
tack Of influenza last winter De-
ceased was born at Des Moines, Iowa,
i'll september 1896, hence was near
ly "a years of age She was OF a
very lovable disposition %'hd popular
with her young associates, who will
miss her greatly. She was the stay
and comfort of her widowed mother,
whose only companion she had been
for years past. They formerly lived
at Pullman, Wash, and later at
Great Falls, Mont, from whence they
came TO Glendale. Interment was in
Forest Lawn after funeral services
held in the Little Church of the
Flowers"

estiOns for Preparing Field
Crop Exhibits

Wheat, oats and barley should be
harvested as soon as the crop is ma
ture, and before it is thoroughly dry,
when it is to be used in making a
sheaf grain exhibit. A person col
lecting an exhibit is more likely to
make the mistake of harvesting the
material too dry than in harvesting
it before it is sufficiently mature. 1t
is better to carefully pull the plants
than to cut them off. If they are
pulled they can be suspended by the
roots where the drying can be COM
pleted. There is less danger of bend
ing and breaking the straw if this
method is followed. After it is dry
the roots may be cut off and it may
be made into sheaves about four
inches in diameter. Only fully de-
veloped straw and heads should be
used. 1t is preferable to use tape in
tying the sheaves, as there is less
likelihood of breaking and injuring
the straw than with string. The
sheaves should be tied in not less
than three places. The preparation
of sheaves, however, may be delayed
until a later time.
In obtaining forage plants it is
more difficult, in many cases, to OBJ
tain them with the roots. They
should be dried out or cured in a
dark and airy place in order to pre-
serve the green color. Most forage
chops should be obtained for display
purposes when they have reached the
blossom stage, or when the seed is
just starting to form"

Coast record with a pole borrowed
from Stanford vaulter. Boiler
had made arrangements to have this
pole shipped to Cambridge, but the
stick miscarried and JENNIE was
forced to go into the event with the

JENNIE, according Eto Director
Boiler, left for Antwerp in the best

assurance of the American coaches
that they would secure a pole that
would stand the test

10 ,OO0-meter run in a field of Is of

rector Boiler, visibly affected all of
the Pacific Coast entrants in the long
races and the time was much slower
than the records made by these men
in the west. Smith did not enter the
5000-meter race.
On his way home Director Boiler
stopped over in New York city, Phil

RAILWAY PROTESTS
GRADE CROSSINGS
Northern Pacific and DIV. IL. & N.
Companies Resist Application for
Crossing Into Pullman Au-
tomobile Park

Another chapter in Pullman re-
quest for a grade crossing to make
possible a road into the city auto
mobile park was written at Olympia
last Friday when protests by both
the Northern Pacific and the O.-W.
r. & N. companies were registered
with the state public service commits
sion, before which the request for a
crossing is pending.
George T. Reid, assistant to this
president of the Northern Pacific,
points out that the suggested cross
ing is located in a particularly i'm
practicable place, showing by blue
print of the district that person go
ing from the north of the city to the
park would have to cross all North
ern Pacific tracks before reaching
the proposed crossing and then
would turn and have to cross the
track again.
The railway engineer inclosed
blue print showing another crossing
location that would make it unneces-
sary to cross the Northern Pacific
tracks and would only cross one o.
w. r. G. N. track. The commission
has taken the subject under advise
ment

OFFER STRAW FOR
STRICKEN BIG BEND
Local Farmers Will Give From 200
to 500 Tons Provided Provision
Is Made for Baling and
Shipping

Not to be outdone by public spir.
tied farmers in other parts of the
state George McCroskey and J. S.
Klemgard, two of Pullman's most
successful farmers, are out with an
offer to give free of charge for the
relief of the drouth stricken Big
Bend country from 200 to 500 tons
of straw TO be used as feed for the
Big Bend live stock this winter. The
only stipulation is that the Pullman
chamber of commerce, the Spokane
chamber of commerce or some other
organization make provision for bal
ing the straw and shipping it to its
destination. Not many years ago Pa
louise country straw was of little
monetary value, and almost anyone
could secure what he wanted of it
for very small consideration. Dur
ing the past few years, however,
straw has increased in value with
wheat and other farm products I'M
til at the present time the offer OF
the Pullman men is a generous one.
Should the farmers of the Big
Bend need the straw, it is probable
that provision for preparing it for
shipment will be made.
Crop failures for the last four
years have resulted in an acute
shortage of feed for live stock in GER
tain sections of the Big Bend coun~
try and unless outside relief is ar
forded it is believed that the live
stock will suffer. From some more
favored sections have come offers
to take the stock and feed 1t over
the winter for a minimum charge
or on a basis of a certain percent
age of the stock as payment.

HEARING IS FIXED FOR
AUGUST TWENTY-FOURTH
Public Service Commission Will
Consider Petition for Grade
Crossing TO the City Park

Councilman w. c.. KrueGel has re-
ceived the following letter from the
state public Service Commission in
regard to the proposed grade cross
ing to the city park:
Mr. VIM. C. Kruegel, Chairman
Parks Committee, Pullman,
Wash.
Dear Sir:
Referring to your application Tor
crossing over O.-W. and N. z. to
your city park.
AS YOU are probably aware, the
O.-W. objects to this crossing and
have filed their answer to you.
The Northern Pacific also objects
to the crossing at the point proposed
possible to construct crossing dag
by YOU, but state that it might be
onally from the park entrance north
ward about at the same place as you
are planning, excepting that crossing
would be further north and the
right hand entrance looking north
along the railway track would be
some SO to rs feet north of the pro-
posed entrance, and they suggest
that possibly your objection to their
plan would be due to a fill necessary
by reason of borrow pit, and that
they would be willing to furnish
three or four carloads of cinders to
help toward filling the borrow pit.
By their plan they would eliminate
the necessity of crossing a number of
switches and would only cross the
two main line tracks.
4 AS the O.-W. objects to the cross
ing, we consider that hearing will
be necessary and we have therefore
set the same for hearing at the town
hall in Pullman on August "a, 1920,
at 100 p. m.
Will you kindly arrange for the
use of the assembly room for the
hearing.
Yours truly,
The Public Service Com
mission of Washington
