Commercial Club Meeting.
The Pullman Commercial Club
will hold its regular meeting next
Tuesday evening, in Squires &
•Gaddie' office, and a full attend
ance of the membership is desired.
The committee appointed to draft
a constitution is ready to report,
and the discussion and adoption of
a constitution will come before this
meeting.
There are also ether matters to
■come up that make your presence
necessary.
In the appointment of Hon. 8.
G. Copgrove, of Potneroy, as a re
gent, the friends of the institution
can rejoice. Mr. Cosgrove is a man
of broad and liberal education, con
versant with Ihe needs of a great
educational institution, and will
certainly serve the state well and
faithfully.
Eastern Washington rejoices at
the signal victory of our friends in
the legislature, and the crushing
defeat met by the railroad lobby.
The commission bill as passed is as
•strong and virile as its friends
would have it, and proves that the
legislature and not the lobby is the
law-making body in this state.
Gov. Mead has at all times de
manded the enactment of a bill
such as this, and should be given
due credit for his efforts to thiß end.
The governor has appointed F.
J. Barnard to succeed himself as
regent of the college, and S. G. Cos
grove, of Pomeroy, as regent, vice
Judge H. D. Crow, resigned. The
names of U. L. Ettinger and R. C.
McCroßkey, appointed by Gov.
Mcßride, have been withdrawn
from the senate in common with all
other Mcßride appointments.
Whether or not Gov. Mead will re
appoint thes« two. or make new
appointments for the places, is not
known. There is also a vacancy
on the board, caused by th» death
of Regent Sharp, to be filled.

Pacific statM of Washington, Oregon,
California and Idaho are valued at $166,.

lished in the last issue of the government
-crop reporter, issued by authority of the
secretary of agriculture. Of this aggre
gate total Washington is credited with

fornia, $73.207,4-,'ti; and Idaho, $22,684,
--591. Idaho ranlu so closely with the
other states because of her resources in
the sheep line.
The farm animals enumerated in the
list include horses, mules, milch cows,
-other cattle, sheep and swine. Wash
ington leads Oregon both in the number
of cows and their average valuation per
head. Oregon is only credited with 138,
-523 head at an average valuation of $27.'

average value, id placed at $31.31. Cal
ifornia leadi in the point of average
value, her 854,660 milch cows b
credited with an average value per head
of $36.67.
Washington also* leads Oregon very
strikingly in the number of horse:?, her

gon's total of 315,017 head, with an aver
age value of $54.4_'. Totaled up, Wash

& slight lead.
California maintains a lead over the
rest of the coast in practically every de
partment except sheep, for which the
palm gopi to Idaho. Oregon is al«o
slightly ahead of California in the num
ber of Rheep. Segregated, the total value
of the different varieties of stock is a 9
follows: Bone*, $5*5,770,846; mules, $5,
--784, 847; milch cows, $23,589,821; other
cattle, $41,050,101; sheep, $21,739,294;
swine, $6,04!),08. r).
The number of farm animals* as report
ed in the table represents, the chief of
the bureau of statistics explains, as
nearly as obtainable without an enumer
ation, the actual numbers on farms and
ranges on January 1, and are not strictly
comparable with those published one
year ago, the present figures being the
result of a very careful investigation by
correspondent! and field agents without
exclusive reference to the relation euch
figures should bear to those of last year.
That there has been a material reduction
in the number of sheep, together with a
slight increase in the numbers of all
other farm animals, admits, he concludes,
of no doubt.
The total figures for the entire United
States give the per head value and ag
gregate value of the different classes of
stock as follows: Horses ($70.37), $1,
--200,310,020; mules ($87.18), $21*1.840,
--378; milch cews (|27.47), $482,272,203;

($2.82), $127,331,850; swine (.$5.99),
$283,254,978.
Centennial Notes
More than thirty national conventions
are scheduled to convene in Portland
during the Lewis and Clark Exposition
Electricity in Its every conceivable
application representing the most
marvelous achievements In modern sci
ence, may be seen at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition.
A native Filipino theatre, in which
amusements peculiar to the inhabitants
of our island territory will be presented,
is to be one of the many excellent
attractions of the "Trail".
The Government Fisheries exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition will
show the evolution of a Royal Chinook
salmon, from the embryo to a well
matured fish.
Some idea of the privations endured by
Lewis and Clark in their expedition to
the great Northwest may be gleaned by
a careful examination of the exhibits
characteristic of the earlier history of
Oregon territory.
The caressing melody of the chimes in
the towers of the main Government
building will recall mental pictures of
the missions founded by Junipero Serra
and his intrepid followers in the seven
teenth century.
But seldom are we afforded an oppor
tunity to hear the World's famous bands.
Many of them have been engaged to play
at the fair, among them being, Innes'
De Caprio'a, Ellery's and the Hawaiian
Imperial band.
