so much as aware that compact was
concluded at Buenos Aires.
Yet international relationships. is

in the tentative Pan-American I'M

but of little real significance.
DROWNED OUT!
Now, the floods genuine impor-
lance is not to be belittled
They have caused as much loss and
grief and suffering as war would
have caused, or more so.
However, the floods have drowned
out Congress, among other things.
No Capitol Hill oratory could COM
pete with them-in the newspapers.
Plenty of flood speeches lreclama-
ton speeches, etc. will be made sub
sequently. But floods held the first
pages-till President Roosevelt's mes
sage on the Supreme Court came
along.

slot~machines will BE placed over the
State in filling stations, cafes, lunch
rooms and cher places which pay no
tobacco dealers license and thus will
discriminate against the established
merchants who pay their license fees
and other higher costs. The regular
tobacco and cigarette dealers and job
bers also point out that in almost
every case, these slot machines are
owned by a corporation outside the
state and that the profits from the
operation of these machines, after Civ
.ng the spit to the person operating
the places where they are put, go out
side the state. The profits earned by
local dealers stay right in the city and
Town where they are earned and help
to build up the community, it is pint

state license tax of $40 a year if in
side incorporated cities and towns
and SIS a year if outside the corporate
limits.
+ Yet as the slot machine section of
the revenue act is now written, opera
tors of these cigarette vending ma
chimes will have to pay tax of only
about $1.65 year on each machine,
although heretofore these machines
have been taxed at the rate of from
$40 to $50 year. The merchants
wanted them taxed at $50 year each,
since they pay no rent, no other taxes.
But the slot machine people employ

other hearing.

A new meat slicing machine of
the latest type has been installed
at the Home Meat Market by Jack
Gilden, manager. This addition. to-
gether with a new meat grinder in
stalled few weeks ago, gives the
establishment set of equipment
not often equalled In towns much
larger. The machines are finished
in an attractive aluminium shade,
and have streamline appearance.
Probably with the idea of dem
onstrating the effectiveness Of the
slicer, Jack, while trimming the
rind off a slab of bacon one day
this week, neatly trimmed the tip
of his thumb off. The wound while
not serious was exceedingly pain
full.

SPRING MOISTURE BOOSTS
CROP OUTLOOK IN BIG BEND

Prospects are for a larger win
ter wheat crop in the United States
this year than in 1885, says r. M
Turner, extension economist, State
College of Washington. Only in
tention to plant figures are yet
available on the production of
spring wheat.
A winter wheat crop for 1897
based ON April 1 conditions of
about 656,019,OOO bushels is ex-
pected. according to the Crop Re-
portin board Also spring wheat
crop of about 260.000,000 bushels
would be produced is the 10-year
average yield develops and farm
ers carry out their intentions. Win
ter wheat production in 1886 was
519,013,00O bushels and the five.
year average yield was $4,000, 900
bushels.
Conditions of winter wheat In
Washington we're generally poor on
April /. Since that date unofficial
reports indicate that nearly com
plete reseeding was necessary or
most of the southern part of the
wheat producing area of the state
Necessity for. reseeding diminiehes
progressively northward. Nal y
fields in Spokane, Lincoln ane
Douglas counties required no Se
seeding. Moisture conditions have
been excellent in April in the driel
sections but excess rains have de
layed all seeding in the heavier
rainfall wheat sections.

Work Conferred
On Tennis Court

A crew OF ten men began work
Wednesday morning on the new
WPA playfield which is to be built
adjacent to the school grounds.
More laborers are being certified
and will soon be available for duty,
according to announcement today.
Initial work is being concentrate
ed upon the completion of tennis
court. The site for the court was
graded and leyeled by the donation
of equipment by Leo LAWN, and
efforts will be to finish this phase
of the project as quickly as pos
sible.
A great change was already mo-
ticeable in the landscape. of the
rlayfield and the idea to complete
the tennis court first is good one,
as then this part oil the project
will be available for use.
The laborers are working on a
five-day week basis. The appropri-
alton includes wages for q truck
driver should one be needed.

President OkeIis
Funds For Dam

WASHINGTON, d. C. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Monday asked con-
gress for $6,750,0OO as supple
mental appropriation to permit
construction of Grand Coulee dam
on the Columbia river to proceed
without interruption during the
1888 fiscal year.
This amount was in addition to
$7,250,000 asked by the president
in his annual budget message. 1t
would enable continuation of con-
struction work after the latter
sum has been expended.
Speaker Bankhead passed the
supplemental estimate along to a
house appropriations sub-commit-
tee which began consideration of
the annual interior department
supply bill in executive session.
Accompanying the presidents
message was letter from Daniel
w. Bell, director of the budget.
It informed congress the ST.
100000 previously requested will
be. insufficient to cover the cost of
construction for the whole of the
fiscal year 1898, and it is the pur-
pose of this estimate to supply an
additional amount of $6,750.000
that the work may not be inter-
rupted this year.
The Washington state congress
sional delegation had requested an
additional appropriation of ST.
100000. Senator Homer T. Bone
said he believed the lesser amount
would be sufficient to enable work
to go forward until congress meets
again.
