(Special.) In spite of the protest of members of the uni versity faculty, the varsity ball Friday night was the most expensive and elab orate ever held at Washington. The committee disregarded the attitude of the faculty and made the decorations elaborate to the extreme. One co-ed wore a gold cloth gown that cost 275 and several others spent close to that amount for-their dresses. Early In the year Dean John Con don, of the law scho'ol, a member of the faculty committee on student af fairs, protested that the annual var sity ball should not be as expensive as In years past and that a formal dance was not in accordance with the ideals of a state institution. The student body was engaged in warfare about the democratization of the dance until the committee an nounced that it would conduct only a formal affair. Since then considera ble dissatisfaction has been expressed by the student paper, but the arrange ments went on and the dance was held as a formal affair. Only those dressed In the regulation dress suit were al lowed to enter. That this will be the last formal dance conducted by the student body Is the sentiment of the majority of the students. It will be submitted to the students at the next election. IDAHO RECEIVER PROBABLE King Hill Irrigation System Decision Due Today. BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 16. (Special.)

A cross of rice barley and six-rowed and hulled barley, made in the cereal hybridization work of the State College in the quest for improved barleys, has developed a Winter barley a freak unexplainable In science. The method, and the ob ject of this work, is to cross different kinds of barley, from the progeny se lecting individuals which combine the desirable and eliminate the undesirable qualities of the parents. In another cross, bearded-and-bald barley was crossed upon beardless-and-hulled. The beards showed a tendency to disappear.

Mlnnls to Leave Early In Spring for Koytkuk River Conn, try to Operate Mine. "Rockefeller's wealth isn't in it with the riches contained in the Koyukuk River country of Alaska." says J. W. Minnis. of 533 Yamhill street, who has just received a letter trora nis partner, Thomas J. Burke, formerly of Port land, who. has been prospecting a claim Uipon six-rowed and beardless. Again, 115 miles north of Bettles, near the Arctic Circle, lor tne- lasi mree yeara. Mr. Minnis, together with another rjartner. C. W. Maxwell, left Bettles three years ago with what they con sidered a small fortune. . The money has been lost in unsuccessful business ventures in the "States,': but tney stui hold their interest in the Alaska prop erty. Encouraged by the letter from Burke. Mr. Minnis is preparing to re turn to the mines, and predicts that when he comes out again he will be a millionaire, the beardless type dominated over the bearded. It was observed, furthermore, that the two-rowed type dominated over the six-rowed type. In an addi tional cross of two-rowed and bearded barley upon six-rowed and beardless, the beardless progeny still predomi nated; and again the two-rowed char acteristic was stronger than the six rowed. It is fairly certain, therefore. that from these four barley crosses, four of them, at least one good, beard less hybrid barley will be secured. An interesting cross was that of bald bar ley upon hulled. In the succeeding progeny, hulled barley predominated. The purpose of the hybridization work with, oats at the State College has two principal objects, namely, to secure a white-hulled, early-maturing, heavy-yielding kind, and to fix the hulless characteristic upon some of the best native oats. In the quest of the Washington Ex periment Station for a good hulless oat, Swedish Select was crossed upon Chinese hulless. -Seven hundred and seventy-three plants were secured. Of these, 23 per cent were hulled, 26 were hulless and 61 per cent were hybrids that Is, a mixture of hulled and hulless. The hulless oats secured from this cross has the tree habit of growth as did both parents and shatters slightly, necessitating early cutting. The plants stool well, grow somewhat taller than other oats, and the grain, free of hulls, weighs 56 pounds to the bushel. It promises improvement over the Chinese hulless, and is reserved, like the other barley and oat hybrids, for further study. MISS GOULD TO HAVE GIFT Soldiers Plan to Express Apprecia tion of Kindness, DENVER, Dec. 16.

Disagreement which has arisen as to a crossing of the Clackamas Southern Railroad over the tracks of the South ern Pacific at Center and Fifteenth streets, in Oregon CHy, has caused the crossing question to be brought up be fore the State Railroad Commission for - The letter says: "I want to Inform you of our good luck on our claims in the Annacotte Mountains. We have 15 feet of ore which runs J500 to the ton, and we have found a cross ledge from three and a half to five feet wide, which goes 2280 ounces in silver and three ounces In gold, which makes it worth about $1400 a ton. I have traced the ore already for five mHes. It is a true fissure vein. There is a body of coal 15 feet wide within 30 miles of the property. I wouldn't take any price for my interest right now. It would make the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in Wardner look like 30 cents. I can't do any work in driving the tunnel as I am all out of powder, so I will trap and hunt the resti( the Winter. What this country needs is a railroad, as it has one of the largest mineral belts in the world. When you come in bring ten boxes of powder, caps and fuse." The letter was brought out by an other miner and delivered to Mr. Minnis at Wallace. Idaho. Mr. Burke also told of his plans for INSIST ON MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills FOR Constipation Munyon' Paw-Paw Pi!l are unlike all other laxatlvcs-or cathartics.

Christmas, predicting that he will have caribou steaks, roast ptarmigan, fried jackrabbit and cranberry sauce for his Christmas dinner. Mr. Minnis is planning to go in on the first boat in the Spring, and hopes to be able to find Mr. Maxwell, his other partner, and take him in also. The last time he heard from Mr. Max well he was in Josephine County; Chehalls to Get Xeir Rural Route. CHEHALIS, Wash.. Dec. 16. -(Special.)
