Rosalia had been before the county
commissioners and urged them to
make as large an appropriation for
the county exhibit as is raised by

under advisement. He also stated
that the Colfax Commercial Club
would probably contribute $100, the
Rosalia club $75 and several other
clubs smaller amounts.
J. L. Dumas, who is In charge of
collecting the county exhibit, report
ed that the work Is proceeding satis
factorily, but that if the exhibit Is

PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY. AUGUST 9. 1912
JUDGE THOS. NEILL
' GETS LOYAL SUPPORT
Progressive Citizens Appreciate His
Efficient Services and Will Sup
port Him at September
Primaries
Reports of the loyal support that
will be accorded Judge Thos. Neill,
candidate for re-election, at the pri
mary election September 10, are
coming from all parts of the country
and all indications point to a land*
slide for the popular and economical
judge. Any party prejudice that
might have existed two years ago;
when Judge Neill was elected over
four other aspirants to fill the unex
pired term of Judge Canfield, have
been wiped out, and the judgship
fight this year will be entirely non
partlzan, the people having come to
realize that the best qualified man
should be elected to the office, re
gardless of party affiliations.
The following articles, reprinted
from the Oakesdale Tribune and the
LaCrosse Clipper, are samples of the
many good words which have thus
far been spoken for Judge Neill:
Judge Thos. Neill was in our city
from Colfax Wednesday renewing ac
quaintances with our citizens in the
interest of his candidacy for re-elec
tion as superior judge of Whitman
county. Judge Noil] was elected two
years ago to fill an unexpired term
and now refers to his record as his
recommendation for another term.
Judge Neill has Justified the
splendid endorsement given him two
years ago by his many friends
throughout tho county and they are
again giving him assurance of sup
port and many of those who, for
political and other- reasons, did not
support him two years ago, recognlzt
that he is entitled to re-election and
are now supporting him.
A short analysis of Judge Neill's
record during,the past two years will
show that while the office of super
ior judge has been conducted in a
most efficient manner, It has also
been conducted at a saving to the tax
payers of Whitman county.
While the business transacted by
the court during 1911 was 20 per
cent more than in 1910, the court
costs outside of witness fees was
about $2500 less than In 1910. In
1910 it cost $98.88 each day th.at a
jury was present for jury fees.
While in 1911 it cost but $83.87 and
for the six days the jury was In ses
sion In 1!* 1 it cost $75.30 per day.
This saving was made by lessening
the time of the jury, which is more
clearly shown from the fact that in
1910 the cost of the jury for each
case tried was $210.65 and under
Judge Neill it was $112 and in 1912
it was only $75.30. And yet every
litigant was given ample opportunity
to be heard and his case fairly con
sidered.
Under the law all Judges must be
non-partisan and have their names on
the "Non-partisan Judiciary Ticket"
to the end that merit will be consid
ered In the selection of a Judge.
Judge Neill's friends feel that he
has shown his ability and capability
and by every consideration of fair
ness he Is entitled to the office for
another term. — Oakesdale Tribune,
Neill for Superior Judge
Judge Thos. Neill will be a candi
date for the nomination of Judge of
the superior court at the September
primaries this fall. Two years ago
Judge Neill was elected to fill an un
expired term and his record will In
vite the most critical examination.
He is fair, honest, fearless and Im
partial and is recognized as having
met the reasonable expectations of
those who supported him two years
ago. The judge Is a favorite in this
section of the county and will be well
supported. — LaCrosse Clipper.
Want Atherton to Bun
A -aunts was held Wednesday
evening by a number of republicans
at which it was decided ha try and
Induce B. Atherton to file for the re
publican nomination for state repre
sentative from this district. In
furtherance of the plans petitions
were being circulated yesterday and
receiving numerous signatures, ask
ing Mr. Atherton to shy his hat Into
the ring.
Wants Specimens for Exhibit
C. E. Arnev, western immigration
and industrial agent of the North
ern Pacific Railway company, was
In Pullman this week to Interest the
people in collecting material for an
exhibit at the Northwestern State
Land Products Exposition which is
to be held at Minneapolis, Minn.,
November 12 to 23. The N. P. Co.
has bought 360 square feet of space
In the exposition building, where an
exhibit will be installed of the pro
ducts of Washington. Idaho. Oregon,
Montana, North and South Dakota
and Minnesota.
Mr. Arney states that bis company
has made arrangements with Mr.
Wessels of Spokane to process fruits
and other samples which can be
shipped to him by express, free of
charge. They are particularly de
sirous of securing good samples of
fruit growing on the branch or vine
and will have them preserved in
jars varying in height from 16 to
36 inches and large enough to ac
commodate branch and all. The
Chamber of Commerce will endeavor
to see that Pullman and vicinity are
well represented In the exhibit.
A Pleasant Trip
A party composed of officials and
directors of the Pullman State

RAILROAD PRESIDENT
STOPS AT PULLMAN
Head of the New York Central Is
Favorably Impressed Willi
Palouse Country
W. C. Brown, president of the
New York Central lines, comprising
13,000 miles, spent a few hours In
Pullman Tuesday and Inspected the
P. C. 1. company's ranch, in which
he Is a stockholder. Mr. Brown was
traveling ln bis private car, accom
panied by his wife and Mr. and Mrs.
McKeever. The party arrived on a
special train over the Northern Pa
cific and were met at the depot by
F. M. Slagle, a personal friend of
Mr. Brown, and a number of busi
ness men. After a few moments of
pleasant chat the visitors were es
corted to J. L. Dumas' automobile
and driven out to the P. C. I. com
pany's ranch.
Mr. Brown is a very pleasant and
democratic kind of a man and a good
deal of a farmer, owning a large
ranch in lowa, another .near Ro
chester, N. V., and being heavily In
terested in Canadian lands. He said
that he was delighted with the Pa
louse country and deeply Impressed
with the fine crops of grain. He
was much pleased with the P. C. I.
company's ranch, but remarked that
it ought to be raising live stock in
stead of grain and fruit and when
Mr. Slagle remarked that It took
money to stock a ranch replied, "Oh,
Increase your capital stock and I
will get the money."
He took some pictures of the
ranch with two fine cameras, one a
panorama camera, which he had with
him, and stopped on the brow of
the hill back of the high school to
take pictures of the city and College.
Upon being urged to remain for the
Chamber of Commerce meeting he
replied that it was Impossible, as he
had an engagement at Lewiston, but

AGRICULTURE POPULAR
AT PUYALLUP SESSION
Frank O. Kreager, Superintendent i
the Summer School Held at Puy.
allup, Reports Seventy-Fivo
Enrolled in Agriculture
One hundred and fifteen students
were enrolled at the summer school
held at Puyallup under the direction
of the State College. The session
closed July 20 and Professor F. O.
Kreager, superintendent in chart* of
the session, reports that of the total
enrollment 75 were enrolled In the
various classes in agriculture, one
class alone having 60 students, being
the biggest class in agriculture in the
history of the state. Thirty-five stu
dents were enrolled in horticulture,
GO in domestic science and 45 in
manual training.
Professor Kreager reports that as
a general thing the students were
teachers and superintendents of
schools, although there were many
farmers' wives and young men and
women Just out of high school who
were preparing themselves to farm
small tracts of land. Of the total en
rollment there were 30 people with
college education, 12 of this number
having a B. A. degree. Graduates
of the universities of Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Colorado, Indiana
and Kansas were enrolled. All
those enrolled were well pleased
with the courses offered and worked
from 8 o'clock in the morning until
6 at night to derive as much benefit
as possible from the session In the
short time allotted for the school
The classes In agriculture were
unique In that the work was prin
cipally of a practical nature, the ex
periment station farm and the large
dairy fields for which the Puyallup
country Is famous, affording ample
opportunity for practical work. The
enrollment was twice as large as an
ticipated, and the crowded classes
were handled in an admirable way
by the College Instructors. Sincere
turning to Pullman Professor Kreag
er has received a letter from one of
his students, a superintendent of
schools, stating that he was more
than pleased with the Instruction he
received and that he would return
to Puyallup for the session next year
with from six to twelve of his
teachers.
The Instructors from the Stale
College who assisted In making the
Puyallup session the success that It
was were:
Professor F. O. Kreager, superin
tendent.
Professor R. J. Barnette, horti
culture.
Professor 11. C. Ashby, livestock.
J. R. Buttorff, manual training.
Mr. Buttorff was secured by the
Puyallup high school as Instructor In
manual training for next year.
Mrs. W. H. Lawrence (formerly
Miss McDermott), domestic science.
Miss Ruth Kennedy of Tacoma and
Miss Francis Mann of Puyallup, both
1912 graduates of the State College,
assistants in domestic science.
The Instructors from the Western
Washington Experiment Station
were:

management.
L. J. Chapln, soils and crops.

NUMBER 45
FILL STATE TICKET
FOR THIRD PARTY
Indications That W. 11. Paulhamm
Will Make Race for Governor aa
a "Hull Moose"
Seattle, Aug. 6.—Republicans who
will support President Taft for re
election, will not stand for candi
dates entering the republican pri
maries under the guise of being re
publicans, who advocate voting for
Roosevelt electors, asserts Howard
Cosgrove, chairman of the Taft ex
ecutive committee and in charge of
the re-con on campaign for
delegates.
Coagrove wants it understood that
lie is not speaking In an official ca
pacity in behalf of the Taft club, but
declares that this sentiment is gen
eral among regular republicans.
"Candidates who Intend partici
pating in the republican primaries
had better take a tip right now," de
clared Cosgrove yesterday, "and
withdraw while they still havo time.
If they should be nominated I know
of a good many votes the democrats
will get when the November elec
tion comes.
"We will rather vote for enemies
than for traitors. As a matter of
fact, it is ridiculous for candidates
to expect support from republicans
when they Intend to knife the head
of the ticket. If they want to vote
for Roosevelt so badly, lot them Join
the third party and at least have the
courage of their convictions."
li Is generally conceded that the
third party movement is growing
among the Insurgents; many of
those who a short time ago wanted
to content themselves with voting for
Roosevelt eleetQM are now demand
ing a complete third party slate.
State Senator W. 11. Paulhamus,
his friends say, has definitely decid
ed to attempt to head the third party
ticket. There Is no question but that
Paulhamus wants to run for gover
nor and Is merely awaiting events to
see whether the third party becomes
formidable enough. He attended the
conference of third partyites at Ta
coma last week and was particularly
prominent before the meeting in
shaking hands with the delegates
attending.
BONES OF MAMMOTH
FOUND AT WAWAWAI
Will Be Sent to Bureau of Geological
Survey at Washington for
Identification
While making extensive excava
tions on Snake river bluffs, near Wa
wawal, Professor Shaw uncovered
what is thought to be the remains
of a mammoth. The bones were mas
sive and evidently from the legs of
the prehistoric animal. The discov
ery was made while Professor Shaw
with a crew of men was working on
the Wm. L. LaFollette ranch. The
bones were found at a depth of sev
eral feet, the discovery being made
by Milton Newhouse, Mr. Sawhlll and
Mr. Zimmerman. The specimens
have been taken to the State College
museum and will be sent to the bu
reau of United States geological sur
vey at Washington D. C, for Identi
fication.
With reference to the discovery
Dr. Shaw stated, "It ls my opinion
that the remains are those of a mam
moth, a prehistoric animal occur
ring over a wide range of territory,
Including Alaska, Siberia and north
ern United States. A similar discov
ery was made several years ago in a
washout in Wawawal canyon, lt Is
highly probable that further Investi
gation along 'his line would give in
teresting results."
The bones were unearthed purely
through accident, the object of the
excavation being to collect data on
the. habits of the native Palouse
ground squirrel, the life history of
Which is being worked out by the
State College Experiment Station
under the direction of Dr. Shaw, the
ultimate object being to exterminate
thi; pest from the wheat fields of
the Palouse. Some very Interesting
data was collected by Dr. Shaw In his
work at Wawawal on the Townsend
squirrel, which Is particularly de
structive in the lower altitudes, in
cluding th» Big Bend and LaCrosse
districts.
