clark Savidge, and the Hartley adj
,,;n;stration is fighting hard to pre-
vent defeat. It is probably the stiff
fest fight this state has seen between
: republican governor and a repub-
lican legislature.
Success of the Banker bill would
.lso almost certainly mean the re-
versal of Governor Hartley on the
Kittitas project. It specifically de-
clares for a policy of state coopera-
tion with the federal reclamation
service, with implied instructions to
the land commissioner to negotiate
the federal contract on the Kittitas
project, twice rejected by the gov
ernor. Consequently, it is being
termed "a slap at the governor" and
the Hartley supporters are making
4 desperate struggle to stop it.
So far, the banker bill, with scores
of bills Of varied Importance held
aside to open the way for an early
showdown, has been pushed ahead
with unusual freeness and rapidity.

Find Process to Make
Sugar From Artichokes

Washington.-Experts of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are studying the
results in the extraction of sugar from
vegetables heretofore not utilized for
that purpose. which they say have
evolved process that may revolution
ize the sugar-growing and refining in
dustry.
The new process, discovered in re-
searches by DR.. r. f. Jackson Of the
bureau of standards, makes possible,
they say, the capitalization of sugar
extracted from such vegetables as the
artichoke and thus its production for
the first time In usable and CONNER
cial form. Lack Of process for crys-
tallizing sugar drawn from such plants,
1t was said, has been the one bar to
their utilization for this purpose.
The sugar derived by this process
from the artichoke was said to prom
ise the cheapest source for It's produc-
ton. II Is one and one-haIf times as
sweet as the sugar taken from cane
and the sugar beet. Its production, It
was said, promises to be both simpler
and cheaper than cane or beet sugar.

meca has been destroyed four times
by the god of the smoking mountain,
and there is a prophecy that savior
chief is to be born of Popocatepetl and

Scientific observers, however say
that continuous explosions occurring
in Popocatepeti, at the rate Of about
dozen minute. do not result in dis
astrous eruptions. Explorers just re-
turned from far up the slopes Of the
mountain say they were unable to
ascend beyond the snow line.
Smoke Spreads Over 100 Miles.
The smoke arising in a huge col
