Spokane


"Skeetsomish" and "Skeetshop"
were early names applied to the
Spokane Indians and Spokane Falls,
from which the city and county of
Spokane derived their names, accord
ing to Professor Edmond S. Meany
Of the University of Washington, who
has devoted a section Of his new
book on Washington Names to that
district.
Lewis and Clark wrote Of the
Indians and the falls in 1905, re-
ferring to them by the name
Skeetsomish', Professor Meany
says. con June s and August II,
1911, David Thompson, of the North
west Company Of Montreal, referred
to the Spokane River and Spokane
House, while on his map the river
is charted as 'Skeetshop. The Spo-
kane House mentioned by Mr.. Thomp-
son had been established under his
authority in 1910 by Jaco Finlay and
Finan Mcdonald at the junction of
the Spokane and the Little Spokane
rivers. A short distance away the
Pacific Fur Company (Astorians)
built rival Fort Spokane in 1912.
Although the river was then
known by another name and although
the two trading posts were aban-
doned, they helped materially to fix
the name on the country. The AS
torians' post was taken over by the
Northwest Company of Montreal dur
ing the War of 1912. The Northwest
Company was absorbed by the Hud-
sons Bay Company in 1921 and in
1927 that company established Fort
Colville and abandoned Spokane
House. In the meantime Hudson's

Washington Grows The
Worlds Best Cabbage Seed

An industry that has grown from a
small beginning back nearly so years
ago, until today it is the largest of
its kind in the world, is the growing
of cabbage seed in Western Washing
ton. Fully rs per cent of the cab
bage seed grown in the United States
is produced in one county in Wash
ington.
Along about the year 1878, A. G..
Tillinghast, pioneer seed grower,
and later an extensive distributor of
garden seeds, started growing cab
bage seed on his farm on the La
Conner Flats, in Skagit County. 1t
was only in an experimental way that
he embarked in an industry that has
since grown to be one of the most
important seed crops produced in the
state; and the largest of its single
kind in the world. The reputation
Of Puget Sound cabbage seed, as the
best that can be produced, is known
to all the trade wherever seeds are
sold. Today the crop OF this seed
alone amounts to more than 100000
pounds annually.
Reputation for Superior Quality
AS early as 1882 Puget Sound cab
bage seed was getting reputation
for superior quality throughout the
eastern states, as being the best and
most dependable seed on the market.
In that year Isaac F. Tillinghast, a
Philadelphia scotsman and brother
to A. G. Tillinghast, the La Conner
grower, carried on quite an extensive
advertising campaign in eastern ag-
ricultural papers, eXtolling the su.
perior quality of the Celebrated Pu-
get Sound" cabbage seed, Of which
he was the eastern distributor
The Tillinghasts have long since
passed to their reward, and their
names are no longer connected with
the seed trade in this country; but
the cabbage seed industry in Wash
ington continues to grow and thrive
until today there are some 200 farms
In Skagit County devoted to the
growing of this crop, which is large
ly grown under contract with the
Charles H. Lilly Company, Seattle,

firm has built up a large export
trade in this seed as we'll as supply

seed, that finds its way to Europe,
later re-enters this country as an
imported product, to supply a trade
that must have a foreign name to
satisfy the customer.

Gives Scholarship for
Study Of Meat Packing

A gift of $4,000 year for three
years for the purpose of creating the
first research fellowship in connec-
ton with the newly organized insti-
tute of meat packing at the Uni
versity of Chicago has been made by
Mr.. Arthur Lowenstein, vice-presi-
dent of Wilson & Co.
This research work will be car
ried on under Professor E. A. Jordan,
chairman Of the Department Of Bac-
teriology of the university. Mr..
Lowenstein is one of the special lee
turers in the institute Of meat pack
ing at the University as we'll as
being chairman on the committee of
scientific research of the institute of
American meat packers and investi-
cations associated with the packing
industry.
A series Of lectures under the
joint auspices of the School of Com
merce and Administration of the
University of Chicago and the Insti-
tute has been inaugurated, and
courses of instructions have been ar
ranged so that employees in the pack
ing plants will have better oppor
unity to fit themselves for their
work. The courses are intended pri
marily for those occupying minor
executive positions and who are am
bilious to become executives.
The packing industry has always
oeen known in it's achievements in
applied science and prosecution Of
fundamental research. This work
las been done in the individual
plants and laboratories and the es-
ablishing of this arthur Lowen
stein Research Fellowship" at the
University will be watched with
great interest and it is believed con-
titutes not only an advance in edu
:ation but also an important under
taking in scientific research.
Evening courses for employees of
he meat packing industry now are
)eing conducted at the downtown
.ooms of the university Correspon
lence courses are expected to follow
lfter January 1, 1924, and four

LESS HOG CHOLERA

! A hog which remains in good health
from the day he is farrowed until he
Is loaded on market-bOund train Is
usually a satisfaction to the farmer,
the packer and the consumer But
there are many diseases and parasites
which beset him during the few
months allotted for his economic per-
Torrance. If this performance is to
be a creditable one, the hog grower
must keep close watch over his herd
and learn to know something of the
symptoms which indicate the posi-
BILE approach of dangerous disease.
Hog cholera is the great enemy Of
the swine industry, although it has
been diminishing in Importance as &
result of widespread use of anti-hog
cholera serum. 1t has been reduced
by about 60 per cent from the losses
during the most disastrous years, but
with greater care and better under
standing of the plague it could be re-
duced to much greater extent.
With the gradually increasing con-
troll of this disease, it is important
that swine growers give attention to
the many other ailments which cause
losses, some of which are frequently
confused with cholera. Among the
diseases with symptoms confused
with those of cholera are anthrax,
epilepsy, gastroenteritis, necrobacil-
losis, pieurisy, pneumonia, poisoning,
swine plague, tuberculosis and worms.
When there is any deviation from
the normal in gait, appetite, or diges-
ton, it is time for the owner to take
measures to prevent possible losses.
Minor ailments often can be success
fully treated by the owner, but in
case of doubt it is the part Of wisdom
| to call for a veterinarian.

PRINCE is DEMOCRATIC

announcement that the Prince had

with expectancy and tense with
eagerness, one fastened on from
word to word. Imagination, like
