WASHINGTON TO LOSE
SWIVEL CHAIR OFFICERS
War Department is Cutting
DoUn to Lessen Criticism.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington. ID. C., Jan. 81
The word is being passed around 70
the different War Department bureaus
TO get rid of all possible army officers
stationed In Washington. The reason
is 90 minimize criticism by Congress
about swivel chair officers who have
been in the capital for months. Tho
War Department business is being
wound up rapidly. but they have con-
tnued on the job.
Just how many officers there are in
Washington it is impossible TO tell ow-
ing to the fact that the number huc-
tuates continuously. but It Is we'll in ex-
cess of 900. That, however. Is a grea.
reduction from the number on duty at
the War Department during the war,
who at the time were targets for much
criticism both in and out of Congress.
Owing to the slack commercial stua-
ton few officers OF late have applied
for discharge, feeling that they might
as well remain on the Government pay
roll as long as possible

TO HELP FARMERS
TO PURCHASE HOGS
Seattle Company has Shipped i'm
Good Stock and Will Give
Eight Months Time

A plan whereby farmers may secure
good brood sows upon easy payment
returns is outlined in a communica-
ton which George Finley has received
from the Fulton Commission company
of Seattle. Those interested in the
plan should consult with Mr.. Finley
and the local bankers.
The Seattle company writes to Mr..
Finley as follows: Fl e..
"There is a matter that / wish you
would take up with the hog raisers in
your territory. 1t is we'll known
fact that a great deal of the brood
stock is out of the country and there
is lot of the ranchers who would buy
some brood sows and start to raising
hogs on more or less extensive scale
if they could get the stock or get the
money to buy them with. The banks
for the most part will not handle this
as they claim they are in no position
to finance the deals.
eThe Seattle Cattle Loan company
is shipping in lot Of double-deck
loads of thoroughbred registered pig
gy sows from South Dakota and plac-
ing them in different parts of the
country. These sows are double treat
ed for tuberculosis and cholera so are
immune for life. Grade sows would
be preferable no doubt and cheaper,
but the double treatment can be giv-
en- only to the thoroughbreds. These
sows will cost $4,000 to $65.OO per
head with the papers and this COM
pany will give eight months time on
the notes. They prefer to handle it
through the local banks having the
banks endorsement, as banker is
better acquainted with the responsible
ity Of the farmers in his locality than
any one else.
cit looks like good proposition
for the community in general and of
course you can readily see that it will
very materially improve your ship
ping business to incease the produc-
tion in your territory.
"After you have looked the matter
over / should like to have you write
me how the bankers and the people
feel about this. 1t is time of the
year when something should be done
without delay if there is any stock to
be shipped in this season."
Interested people see banks and
Geo. Finley and make arrangements.

Workers Hope TO Conclude Sale
of 100000 Worth of Stock
BY April l
TO ASK FOR TACOMA'S AID
kennewick Raises Few Thousand
Necessary to Bring Total Up to
Forty Thousand

1t is the hope Of those who are di-
recting the Kennewick-Pas highway
bridge campaign to successfully close
the drive for the sale Of stock soon af-
ter April 1. AS nearly as it is possi-
BILE to check results at this time the TO-
tai amount Of subscriptions is about
$25,000 short Of the necessary $780,
600 goal.
Recent reports from Seattle where
the solicitating campaign has been un-
der way for about ten days are en-
couraging. Chas. Huber, president Of
the bridge company, who was in Ken
newick, Wednesday, brought the good
news that Seattle's total will be $75,-
000.. If this promise materializes
there is little doubt but that the cam
paign can be successfully closed with
in a short time. Walla Walla cam
paigners are still at work and yester-
day carried the campaign to Colfax
where it is expected a considerable
sum will be raised. Tuesday of next
week the proposition will be submitted
to citizens of Tacoma for the first
time when delegation composed Of
representatives of Walla Walla, Pasco
and Kennewick will meet with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Tacoma
Chamber Of Commerce and CONNER
cial Club. In the meantime effort will
be made to increase the subscriptions
in Sunnyside, Grandview, Toppenish
and other Yakima Valley towns.
Kennewick reached it goal last We'd
nesday when they became busy and
raised the few thousand dollars nec-
essary to bring the Kennewick total
up to $4,000.
With the success Of the financial
campaign practically assured actual
work has been started on the bridge.
Test holes are being drilled on the
island and concrete emplacements for
the APPROACH on the Pasco side are be-
ing constructed.

orange and black "K" Wednesday af-
ternoon at the regular weekly assem-

mark of success in high school ath-
letics. Miss Dammann, coach of the
girls team and Mr.. Kralowec, the
boys coach, each gave short outline

year. Mr.. Kralowec expressed the
hope of the boys team winning the
championship Of the northwest next
year, which they lost by such a small
margin this year. Although Yakima
won the northwest championship this
year, the team had to. acknowledge
that only one team defeated them, and
that team was Kennewick.
Those of the girls team who won
the letters were: Dorothy Turner,
Evelyn Serier, jeanette Huntington,
Ruth Stevenson, Della Hudnall, Mar
garet Appenzellar and Avis Philson.
