7 United States Land Office, made public today, shows there is sligfctly more acreage of vacant land in Walla Walla County now than a year ago. This is due to the cancellation of old entries and few homestead entries being al lowed in this county in the last year. In the other eight counties in Walla Walla district there are slight changes from the acreage of a year ago. In the nine together, however, there is considerably less vacanf land. In Aso tin County 16,100 acres more are'now entered than on July 31, 1913. The ac tivity in Asotin County homesteading has been due to the fact that large areas in that county have been desig nated recently as subject to entry under the enlarged homestead act. This designation was chiefly of value to per sons who had already made entry in that county who were allowed to take STATE BOOKLET TO BE BULKY VOLUME two weeks ago, but has been in full SE swing lately.

Interest in the fate of the nine In itiative measures, a count of the peti tions submitting- which is in progress under the direction of Secretary of State I. M. Howell, has temporarily eclipsed other political matters In Washington, though filings for public office have already opened and can didates are launching active campaigns for the various nominations. The present promise is that voters of the state will be buried under an avalanche of printed arguments and swamped in a flood of oratory affecting the initiative measures, so that they may have little time to listen to can didates. r00,000 State Bofcs Printed. Among the most important of con tributions in the way or political lit erature will be the state booklet to be put out by Secretary Howell. This booklet. whicsv may prove 10 De a rather heavy volume, will go to every voter in the cities and incorporated towns registered before July 3, and to all voters in country precincts wno exercised the franchise in the 1912 elections. The Secretary of State has Dreuared to issue aOO.000 copies. The publication will contain the text of such of the initiative measures as find a place on the ballot and argu ments for and against them. Two affirmative arguments are allowed and three negative. Secretary Howell has decided that he must collect as a deposit $200 for each printed page of argument. "Seven Slaters" Not Included. In the case of the "seven sisters," submitted by one organization, rep resenting the Farmers' Unions, the State Grange, the State Federation of Labor and the Direct Legislation League, the total charge for the max imum number of arguments will be J5S00. Their opponents will be per mitted an expense 50 per cent greater, or $8400. Statements of Miss Lucy Case, sec retary of the joint legislative com mittee in charge of the "sisters," and of James Duncan, of the Universal Eight-Hour Day League, indicate that no affirmative arguments will be sub mitted for any of the "seven sisters" or for the eight-hour bill. Hull Moo.r Party Foiled. The prospect that the "seven sisters" may all. with one or, two exceptions, find a place on the ballots by being pronounced sufficient in the Secretary of State's check, is likely seriously to disturb the plans of some of the Bull Moose party. Some of ttie Progres sives, notably a few of the leaders in Spokane, had broached the plan of a state platform on purely state issues to be framed at a convention in Seattle as soon as the Secretary of State's c heck indicated which would get places on the ballot. This convention, counting on the probability that all of the "seven sis ters" would fall, was to take the strongest propositions of the lot and include them in the Bull Moose plat form, then to go before the voters and ask support for the legislative candi dates based on iron-bound pledges to support these measures in the Legis lature. It now appears that the fate of the "seven sisters" will not be known until close to the limit of time allowed for counting them, which Is August 3.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, July 11. (Special.) A vig- rous co-operative campaign for the ntrnl of hoc cholera throughout the tate has been outlined by the extension division of Oregon Agricultural Col lege and the work will begin as soon the details are adjusted with the dh of Animal Tndustrv. United States Department of Agriculture and a qualified veterinarian becomes avail able to take personal charge of the work. Funds for the support of the project are being. alloted by the Federal Gov ernment to a number of states in which hog cholera has made serious inroads. It was through the efforts of the col lege, a number of prominent stockmen, and the Oregon delegation in Congress that Oregon has been selected as one of the beneficiary states. The move ment to procure Federal aid in this matter has been supported locally by the various livestock associations of the state. The work will be entirely demon strational and educational, its object being to show the farmers how they may, by their own efforts, reduce their losses from hog cholera. This will be undertaken by placing in the field vet erinary specialists who will demon strate to county agricultural agents, farmers and, where practicable, to l cal veterinarians, the most successful preventive treatments for hog cholera, as well as proper methods for disin fecting premises where the disease has appeared.

PUP.LS' INTEREST AROUSED Children Work With More Zest, In telligent and Willing Service Re ported by Parents, and School Standards Make Advance. nrrreNA VISTA. Or.. July 11. (Spe cial.) That the home credit system has succeeded In bringing aoout a closer relationship between the- schools and hnmps or Polk County and an interest in the industries of the farm hereto fore unparalleled is shown by attend ance records and statistics compiled for some of the rural schoolB where the plan has been in operation. Under the rules of the system credit is given at sohool for work done at home outside of school hours, including the walking of long distances to school and Tegular attendance. Credit Is given for washing dishes, milking cows, doing ohores, sleepirte with windows open and proper care of body. The result has been a healthier appearance by the pupils. The parents also declare that more - i. .irino at linmo duriner the term and that the child's attitude to- ward the common every-day duties o P.. - 1 fa 1 fa rhanirpfl WHO LD.O ICtllla tion by the children that the perform ance of all duties is a reai pan -. ir education. At Buena Vista and Falrview sys tems of industrial education were be gun, which, it is asserted, will compel a continuation of home credit giving in all future terms. HThen the system was first inaugurated the parents looked upon it as a mere experiment, but they are now its most enthusiastic supporters. A typical home credit school is that at Falrview, in South Polk County. The pupils took up the work in the Fall of 1912 and were successful throughout the term in adhering to the rules. The children thus pleased their parents, who demanded that the system be em ployed during the next term. The plan has been changed from time to time. The pupils must earn 800 credits before taking a holiday in stead of 600. The number of minute credits for milking cows was increased from five to 15 for each cow and a rea sonable amount of credit was allowed for all work not named in the list of chOTes. Children living over a mile and a half from school were allowed credit for the distance they had to walk in proportion to the others and 5 per cent Instead of 10 was added at the end of the year on their final ave rages. Two prizes were offered by the district, 3 and2. respectively. Chil dren seldom took advantage of the holiday for the 800-mlnute credit, as they were taught that a day lost meant the loss of a day's work as well. Tardi ness on the part of any pupil meant the loss of so many credits already accu mulated. Without home credit work the term of 1911-12 had a record of 95 per cent in attendance and 59 tardles. The suc ceeding term closed with 98 per cent attendance and only eight tardles. Seven schools have successfully tried the system, as follows: Eola, Buena vi. c,,,,.,.- -pllr Station. Falrview, Oak Point and Valley View. Others did some or the worn. Through the operation of valuable systems in Polk County 48 schools be came standardized, completing the 16 requirements and receiving a pennant.

Some boys support their families and others had obligations which they had overstepped. There seemed no con certed agreement between them, although two fake robberies were re ported to the police. Stanley Peters, a Bunker Hill boy, was sweated this afternoon and ad mitted he had spent his money and made up the robbery story to account to his mother for Its loss when he re turned home.
