Asked when he would take the
oath of office, Judge Hays last

Good Wheat Crop.
Spokane. Washington, July 25
—Twenty per cent increase over
last year’s wheat crop is the es
timate of the 1913 yield of the
four Pacific Northwestern state
made by the statistical depart
ment of the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce from figures received
from all wheat growing sections.
The crop will be the largest in
the history of the section, weath
er conditions having been ideal
for a bumper yield.
The Chamber of Commerce es
timates the 1913 wheat crop of
the country tributary to Spok
ane as 130,000,000 bushels a
gainst 100.658,000 bushels in
1912.
About 4,5000,000 acres are in
wheat in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana, the wheat
belts of these four states being J
in the territory of which Spok
ane is the financial and indus
trial center.
In many parts of the Big Bend
and Palouse districts yields of
between 40 and 60 bushels to
the acre are reported.
Swatting Is Having Its Effect.
Earnest swatters will be glad
to learn that their efforts are
availing. The government ex
perts directing the crusade say
that reports from all over the
country show a decided increase
in swatting and trapping activi
ty and a very decided falling off
in the fly population.
Incidentally they have figured
it out that the mere combating
of disease attributable to the
fly, the country pays an annual
tax of $157,000,000, which takes
no account of the value of the
human lives lost by their ravag
es in the spread of diseases. The
tubercular affections take $70,
000,000 of the total and $37,000,
000 goes to defray the cost of
combatting intestinal disorders
2aused by the fly not counting ty
phoid fever which, alone charges
$50,000,000 against the fly.—

Dry Goods Men On War Path.
Special to Independent.
Washington, July 24.—United
States Senator O’Gorman of New
York today presented to Con
gress the petition of nearly 100
leading distributers of cotton
cloths, handling practically the
entire output of domtstic cotton
fabrics, protesting against the
enactment into law of “unequal
provisions covering cotton teix
tiles and deploring the discrim
ination that subjects the cotton
trade to these needless hard
ships.” At the same time it was
pointed out that the cotton men,
by coming into the open rather
than instituting an insidious
lobby fo" influencing legisla
tion, had taken a long step to
ward securing the pole in public
and legislative approbation.
Inasmuch as the document is
undoubtedly the voice of the
trade rather than the complaint
of any single group of allied in
mSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSmi
t crests it D freely predicted
that Congress lias no altornatve
other than giving the ease se
rious attention and wide discus
sion in both branches of the na
tional legislature.
It will lie recalled that none of
the industries affected by the
l nd( rwoOd-Simnions hill were
more hitter than the cotton
trade upon discovery that the
framers of t he measure had
planned a course of revision that
would cut the rates far below
those advocated by even the
most radical lay students of a
Democratic competitive lariP
system, this despite the Iran!
and free testimony of tlie most
important individuals of the
trade at the preliminary hear
ings.
