ROCHESTER, HI SLAUGHTERS
TENINO Hi.

Rochester high school baseball
team celebrated April Fools Day and
opened the baseball season by drub-
bling Tenino high school to the tune
of % to 6.
The features of the game were the
heaving Of the Rochester boys
against Tenino's crack left-handed
pitcher. Three clean home-runs and
numerous two and three base hits
crowned their efforts.
Elmer Morris, catching for Roches-
ter, was the bright individual star OF
the game, besides catching a great
game and holding the Tenino base
runners close to the bags, he drove
out two home runs and then threw
in a pair of two base hits for good
measure. Wilbert Brewer also pitch
ed we'll the four innings he was on
the mound.

Are Asitating for Improve
ment Of Roads Through
McCleary Cutoff
THURSTON COUNTY
SIDE IMPASSABLE
HarbOr Civic Organizations Declare
State Maintenance Fund
Meets Cost

Secretary H. B. Fultz, of the
Chamber Of Commerce, stated today
that he had heard nothing from the
Hoquiam Chamber of Commerce and
other organizations in Grays Harbor
county in regard to their coming to
Olympia to call upon the Olympia
Chamber Of Commerce and possibly
the Thurston county commissioners
in regard to the betterment of the
roads between here and Grays Har-
Dor, particularly the McCleary cut
off. Secretary Fultz declared that
it was understood that the civic or
CARNATIONS from Grays Harbor
would meet at joint session of the
Olympia Chamber of Commerce and
Grays Harbor organizations.
HarbOr Wants Better Roads.
OF late the Grays Harbor residents
have made considerable agitation for
the improvement of roads between
here and Grays Harbor county, spe-
cial stress being laid on the McCleary
cut off. The Hoquiam Chamber Of
Commerce declares that they must
work through the Olympia Chamber
of Commerce and the state highway
department for this section of the
road which makes part Of the road
on the Olympia highway practically
impossible, is on the Thurston
county side while the road on the
Grays Harbor side is in good con-
dition.
The harbor civic organizations de-
clare that to keep the McCleary cut
off in good condition, is an easy mat
ter and the cost is provided for by
the state maintenance fund. Men
who have made study of good roads
for years say all that is needed in
the way Of crew and equipment are
two men, a truck and a grader to
make the road passable.
Self Interest Demands Action.
AS for the reasons for Thurston
county to put the road to Grays Har-
Dor county in shape for travel, self
interest covers the list the Harbor
citizens declare. Upward of $4,000
people live in the Grays Harbor dis
trict. and considerable percentage
of them do or would use the Nc
Cleary cutoff during the year If it
were passable. or in shape for COM
Portable motor travel. Many do
drive to and through Olympia now
but the number is not nearly as great
as would be the case IL the road was
kept in condition.
One other consideration should be
given by the Olympia people to their
own interests. and that is the fact
there is another route to Seattle and
Sound points except by way of Olym-
pia. That is by the way of Matlock,
the Olympic highway. and the road
through Union City and Port Gam
BILE to Harper, and by ferry across
the Sound to Seattle. Certain inter-
ests are making definite efforts to

they will be popular and greatly
appreciated by the children.
Mr.. J. NJ. Hit, state librarian
and a member Of the city library
board. announced today that the
moving picture machine would be
rented to any civic, religious or edu-
cational organization that wishes to
use it. An operator will be fur
nished with the machine when it is
rented. The machine is porta BILE
and can easily be taken from one
place to another.
The first to rent the machine is
the United Churches who have en-
gagged it for Friday evening, April
s, at which time they will show a
religious film at Central hall.

promote that route the civic organi-
cations say and they are making no
small Roadway. The road practically
all the way is good. and the re-
mainder soon will be in good shape,
and the ferry problem is not serious.
AS a matter of fact it shortens the
distance from Grays Harbor to Seat

to be taken by an increasing number
of people unless Thurston county
takes Improvement Of the McCleary

Specialist in Grain Diseases
Conducts Field School
at Little Rock
FOUR METHODS SHOWN
FOR TREATING SEED
Formaldehyde, BluestOne and Lime
Applied to Seed and Treated
Plots Demarcated

George L. Zundel, specialist in
grain diseases with the extension
service of the state college, gave a
demonstration on the treatment of
wheat for smut yesterday afternoon
on the farm of L. H. Sommers near
Little Rock. The demonstration was
originally scheduled to take place on
the farm Of T. A. Rutledge, but the
latter had to attend a school hearing
in the city.
The actual grain treatment took
place on a plot belonging to Roy
Stockwell close to the Sommers'
place, according to E. B. Stookey,
county agriculturist. Mr.. Zundel
demonstrated four different types of
treatment: (1) Formaldehyde, one
pint to 40 gallons of water; ca blue-
stone, one pound to five gallons of
water; 60 formaldehyde treatment
followed by lime dip; (4) bluestone
treatment followed by lime dip.
1.-THE lime used was already
Stacked and was dissolved one pound
to ten gallons of water" Mr.. Stookey
said. 1.-THE purpose of the lime So
luton was to prevent the wheat from
being injured by the smut treatment.
It has been found in demonstration
that Outlines the grain seed coats
may be cracked and the treatment is
liable to penetrate and injure the
germ of the seed. The lime dip is
used following the seed treatment
to counterfeit the injurious effect to
the germ. A number of experiments
on the value of the lime dip follow
ing the seed treatment shows that
its use is often the difference be-
tween the success and the failure of
the crop.
These various treatments will be
placed side by side in equal areas.
and treated grain will also be COM
pared with untreated grain. A rec
ord will be kept of the effects Of the
various treatments on the stand and
percentage of smut. The lime dip
should not be used with oats, but
formaidehyde at the rate of one
pound to 40 gallons of water. Sew
eral experiments on the treatment
of oat seed will be conducted on the
L. H. Sommers' farm this summer"
A similar demonstration is being
held on the farm of H. G. Bergh at
South Union this afternoon.

would do SO. The commission fin
ally agreed to disagree and reported
this fact to the governor, and the
matter went over to the next session
of the legislature, which convened in
January 1891.
Experience led the citizens of
Pullman to realization of the dan
ger of Spokane or Walla Walla on
the east side of the mountains. or
of Pierce or King county on the west
side, being able to exert political in
fluence enough to secure the loca-
ton of the college outside of Whit
man county, and that it would be
necessary to head them off by some
means or other. The plan adopted
was to have the legislature pass a
new law relating to the location of
the agricultural college, and making
these counties ineligible, and hence
bill was introduced in the house
known as House Bill No. ITO, which
was passed and approved March 9.
1891, in which 1t was provided that
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1921-09-09

laid before him. He promptly vol
unteered his assistance.
When the commission met to vote
ON location, Mr. Smith voted for
Colfax, Mr.. Sniyely voted for Yakima
and Mr.. Ferguson voted for Seattle.
Pullman knew that Mr.. Smith would
never vote for Yakima, Mr.. Snively
would not vote for Colfax, and they
were further convinced of the fact
that neither of them would vote for
Pullman, and that Mr.. Ferguson
would not vote for either Colfax or
Yakima, and therefore the commits
sion would never agree on a location.
1t then became evident that Pull
mans best chance would be to have
the commission fail to locate and re-
port the failure to the governor Sc
that the following legislature might
arrange for the appointment of q
new commission.
1t is only fair to Mr.. Smith to
say that he did agree to vote fol
