from the United States, under an agri

The statement waa issued xaf ter a
conference between the Attorney-General
and Willis N. Mills, his special
assistant in charge of the case, con
cerning recent developments In the
suit. The proceedings were Instituted
by direction of Mr. Wlckersham in

SCHOOL BOOKS RAISE CRY
Washington Farmer-Teacher Objects
to "Libel on Soil."
(SPOKANE. Wash.. May 28. (Spe
cial.) Text books adopted by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
for use In Washington schools nsxt
year libel the soil and climate possi
bilities of this state and teach the pu
pils to regard this as a bleak and bare
country, according to W. G. Clark, a
school teacher of Milan, and delegate
to the State Farmers' Union conven
tion, who wants the book expurgated.
The text book criticised is Hilgard
and Osterhout's "Agriculture for the
Pacific Coast." The following quota
tion is that to which exception was
taken: "As the weather in Autumn gets
cold enough for snow before Summer
drought ends, grain in the Pacific
Northwest, east of the Cascades, Is not
sown In Autumn, but In early Spring.
This severely cold weather of Winter
(the blizzards) requires selection of es
pecially frost-resistant fruit or forest
trees for northern portion of Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana."

Few Men Take Supervisor's Exami
nation This Tear.
Women will this year shine as never
before in the management of the city's
playgrounds and all because Mayor
Rushlight has said they shall receive
appointment ' over the men. The fact
is, not enough men had sufficient In
terest to take the examinations for
supervisors and the women "beat them
to it"
Superintendent of Parks Mische felt
that, while there are Just 18 on the
eligible list and just 18 positions to
be had, the Park Board should go out
side the list for some more men. He
waa doubtful as- to the efficiency of
women for certain supervisory work,
but the Mayor settled It and the wo
men will supervise both men and wo
men.

It the Pacific Northwest does not
this year have the most prosperous
times it has ever known, It will ba
because of some circumstance that can.
not now be foreseen.
If huge and high prices mean any
thing to a community, the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho should
this year roll In wealth.
Nature has been prodigal with all
her gifts in every section of the North
Pacific Coast. The crops came through
the Winter as well as ever before, the
Spring weather has been ideal for
vegetation, and the area planted to the
various crops Is, with a few excep
tions, the largest on record.
Good Prices, Too, Assured.
On top of this is the assurrance that
the farmers will receive good prices
for most of their products and very
high prices for some of them.
The value to the producers of a few
of the staple crops can be estimated at
this time, and it reaches, in the three
states, the immense amount of nearly
$150,000,000. No account is taken In
this calculation of many of the indus
tries, the livestock, dairying, lumber,
small fruit and kindred lines, which,
in the aggregate, would produce
total probably as great as that here
enumerated.
Wheat Crop Placed at 52,0OO,00O.
The wheat crop of the Pacific North-
west will bring to the growers more
than $52,000,000, basing the average
price on the farms at 75 cents a bushel,
as the crop will probably amount to
70.000,000 bushels.
The oats yield Jn Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho is estimated at 41,500,- .
000 bushels, which will mean more
than $18,600,000 to the growers.
Barley may not sell as high as last
year, for the Eastern crop In 1911
was almost a failure, but placing the
yield at 16,500,000 bushels, it will be
worth nearly $10,000,000.
Hay Crop Worth 33,0O0,0O0.
Hay, which Is one of the great staple
crops, will produce an income of over
$36,000,000 in the Northwest.
Estimating the orchard fruit crop of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and the
Bitter Boot Valley in Montana at 16,
500 cars, the total value will probably
be close to $15,000,000. The small fruit
and the cured fruit crops will also
bring great sums at) the farmers.
The wool season is proving a most
prosperous one, the clip being the
greatest ever known in the Northwest,
and the prevailing price better than
for several years. Sheep owners are
now getting 10 per cent more for their
wool than at this time last year.
The total wool clip of Oregon, Wash,
ington and Idaho amounts to about
44,000.000 pounds and is valued at $6,
600,000. Hops Yield Large.
The hop crop of Oregon and Wash
ington Is larger than for several years,
and, what Is unusual with a large crop,
the price Is good. Buyers are making
contracts with growers for delivery of
tbe new crop at 25 cents a pound, and
on this basis tne output oi tne two
states will be worth about $4,650,000
The other resources of the Northwest,
those of the farm, range, forest and
rivers, will bring in as much money
as the staple crops.
When to these are added the valua
tion of the manufactured products, it
will be found that a total income of
close to '. -.If a billion dollars will oe
the portion of the great Northwest thit
year.
