Smooth Work OF Jack Furlong
ON a Moving Machine

II guess old Sam Burke can fix up
moving machine about as slick as any
man about this section,' said man
who was examining some reapers and
mowers belonging to Leslie Bell.
There used to be man up the valley
years ago who worked at odd jobs
about Genoa and Gardnerville who
could take lot OF old discarded ma
chimes that were in the junk pile, and
by taking piece from Buckeye here
and few more from an old McCOr-
mick, and now and then piece from
some others he would build brand
new machine and when he had slicked
it up and put on new coat OF paint he
would sell it to Fred Dangberg or Her
man Springmeyer for sixty dollars as a
new machine aud the latest up to date
thing in mowers. One year he built
ten new machines out of the cd junk
piles around the blacksmith shops an
the blacksmiths didn't even miss EN-"
my father was pretty hardy with
mowers when he was alive" said Ray
Furlong. II remember when | was a
kid he took me up the valley and he
s,ept two laws upholsterisg an old
mower for Cohn. He doused the bear
ings with kerosene and then oiled them
up and put things in such shape that 1t
was like d new chrorometer watch.
w hen he got all through | noticed he
got rope and tied the machine to a
tree. | didn't ask any questions for a
WHILE but when did he said that the
machine was so easy running after he
got through that it was liable to start
up of it's own accord and do some dam
age.
| Il thought sure that the old man
was giving me a josh but about two
O'Clock in the morning We heard a
noise as if some one was moving about
the yard and dad, he got up and got
his gun.
The next thing we knew something
| busted the door in, and W hen it fell Of
the hinges dad began firing in the dark
with his siX-shoOter. 1t was hot work
for minute, but | struck light anG
there was that moving machine with
the tongue poked into the room an6
the wheels turnin' and tryin' to ge
through the dOor.
''You see when my dad fixed ma
chine he put sense into it, but thi
time he oyerdid the work and tied i
up with an old rope and it got buckin
in the night and got loose.
1--WE found out afterwards that tn,
machine needed a new washer and hat
the bad manners to come and wake u
up in the night and ask for it. W.
paid Cohn four dollars for the doc
and called it square. Dad felt so abou

t was time to go to lunch and he hurrie
off.

Creeley's Old Stage

There is talk of sending the old stage
coach that Monk drove Greeley to Placer
vile in, down to the Stockton Fair. The
idea is to drive passengers down to the
Fair from here, over the Placerville
route, and then exhibit it at Stockt ton.
The old stage would receive an ovation
all along the line and the passengers who
went in it would have the freedom Of the
towns all along the route.

Army Worm Pest.

An Industrious and devastating pest
/ commonly known as the army worm
has suddenly made its appearance II
this county, and from the report.
given. is found all over Western
Washington at least. The worm seem,
to feed on all kinds of plants and veg.
etables and eats anything that is
green and juicy. Some gardens have
been almost ruined and that before
any one was even aware of its pres
ence. 1t is astonishing the amount OF
damage the worms can do in a short
time. In one day they perforate every
leaf in a garden and kill the vegetable
in short time.
State Commissioner of Agriculture,
J. f. Baker. who has investigated the
plague of worms, says they are the
larvae of the noctuid moth, and recon-
mends the following wash for vines or
trees attacked by them:
Dissolve ponnd white arsenic in /
gallon hot water; add pounds of SAL
soda and boil 10 to Is minutes. sWhen
the arsenic and soda are thoroughly
dissolved, as they will be in that time,
add another gallon of water. Take /
quart of this compound for Is gallons
of water, stir thoroughly. Stake 6
pounds of fresh lime and put it in an
other barrel with IS gallons of water
containing the arsenit with the Is gal
Ions of lime water, and we have SO gal
Ions of arsenite of lime spraying ma
terial at very moderate cost,
For potato vines the cheapest and
quickest method of determination
would be to dissolve teaspoon full of
Paris Green in pailful of water and
sprinkle on the potato vines. This,
however, could not be applied to any
other vegetable because of the danger
of being poisoned.

The Superior Judgeship.

Judge Mason Irwin, who formerly pre-
sided over the Mason County Superior
Court, seems to have no opposition in Che
halls County for the nomination from the
Republicans this fall. The Judge is high

and ability and will certainly be well sup
ported by Mason County for nomination
and election. The following extracts show
the situation in Chehalis County:
'For the Office of superior judge, Mason
Irwin, of this place, seems to be the only
