Accident Near Nez ParCa.

As Mrs. DIR. Shawlcy and family
Of four small children were re-
turning from visit to relative
of theirs nine miles north east OF
Nez Perez City, they met with an
accident which might have been
the cause of the death of all Of
them. AS j. w. Dunn, who
owned the team and buggy, stepped
out to open a gate leading out OF
the pasture, the horses became
unruly aud Mrs. Shawley called
upon Mr.. Dunn for help who left
the gate and caught one of the
horses by the bride to quiet him,
when he reared and throwing Mr..
Dunn to one side, started to run.
They had run only few rods
when they upset the buggy. throw
ing the occupants cut on to "a pile
of rock, turning the buggy com
pletely over, breaking the tongue
and one wheel of the buggy. The
horses continued to run for about
half mile when they ran into
wire fence, cutting both horses
very severely. One wheel of the
buggy ran over the right arm of
Mrs. Shawley making pretty
severe cut on the upper side of the
elbow and bruising her up Goa
siderably. Cora Shawley, aged
8, had Il severe cut under her knee.
Mary, aged 6 years, had her face
badly bruised, and their cousin,

Richest In the World.

The wonderful crops on the
reservation and throughout the
Clearwater region is attracting
world wide attention this year.
The famous Palouse wheat belt has
been regarded tho most prolific in
the United States. The good
qualities of the Palouse soil are
duplicated in the Clearwater
region with some advantages of
climate to our credit.
This special grain belt lies at an
elevation of from 1900 to $500 feet
above the sea. The soil is peculiar
to this region. The crops for this
year, or for a succession of years,
are not the result of an accidental
combination of favorable weather
conditions The soil of the Pa
louise and Clearwater regions are
of basaltic origin, having been
produced from erosion of the
country rock Only in few regions
as in Ireland and China, is this
peculiar soil found in an arabic
country. The combination of
mineral salts is pronounced the
best for general crop production
of all native soil composition. 1t
is said that this soil is not only
very fertile, but practically mex
haustible. The nature of its form
alton and the continuation of the
process of disintegration renew the
properties that are consumed in
the production of all crops. The
soil of Ireland and China, which
were formed from basalt like our
country rock has produced crops
for thousand yelrs, perhaps
forming the only valuable excep-
tiOns of self revival known to the
agricultural world.
There have been many ideas
advocated to explain the formation
of our soil. 1t has been CHROME.

S0lf-RiSjng Flour,

The Grangeville Roller Mills is
preparing self-rising flour. The

Everyone using it will find it just

The reform in the currency laws Is
the second great achievement in the adj
ministration of public finances under
President Mckinley, the first being the
Dingley tariff. The act approved by the
President March 4, 1900. firmly estab-
fishes the United States on gold basis.
Confidence, In respect to the money
standard is now at the highest, and
the integrity of all our various forms
Of money has been declared by law.
The task has been difficult one. It
was problem which required patience
and courage in it's solution. The fact
that three years elapsed before the
measure became law reveals the diff
cult road over which the workers for
the reform movement passed. At the
beginning Of the first regular session
of Congress, under the administration
Of President Mckinley, the Secretary
Of the Treasury submitted plan the
essential features of which are to be
found in the act of March Il, 1900.
From December, 1897, until the bill
became law, no opportunity was lost
to advance the cause of currency re-
form. Notwithstanding an adverse
majority in the Senate. the Committee
on Banking and Currency in the House
considered several measures. In an
ticipation Of Republican Senate and
House in the Fifty-sixth Congress eau

New York.-Midsummer dullneSS ID
noted in all different markets. General
trade always slows up somewhat at this
time Of the year, and the Stock Exchange
situation is simply a reflection Of this
state OF comparative inactivity. No Inn
pOrtant change in conditions is likely be-
fore the middle Of next month, when mer-
chants will begin to make preparations
for the early fall season. There is more
confident sentiment in commercial cir
cles. This is not due from the growing
belief that prices have at last reached
bedrock, which has resulted in better
inquiry for goods. The situation in re-
spect to crops is also hopeful For this
reason merchants are all looking forward
to satisfactory fall trade. Dizziness has
been the only feature Of the stock mar
ket. The volume of business has been
too light throughout the week to give
prices any decided tendency in either di-
rection.
Chicago.-The price Of wheat tended
moderately upward during the week, and
showed a slight improvement at the close
Of Saturdays session as compared with
its value at the end of the week previous.
The frmness thus indicated was chiefly
due to heavy rains and comparatively cold
weather in Europe just as harvest was
well under way, and resulted In the re-
ceipt Of heavy buying orders from TIE
importing countries No new light has
been thrown upon the vexed question Of
the actual total of this seasons domestic
wheat production in the crop report of
the national agricultural bureau. 1t did
not include any reference to the extent Of
the reported damage to winter wheat, but
as far as it went confirmed the report Of
the previous month as to the seriousness
Of the loss to spring wheat by the long
drought that prevailed in the Dakotas
and Minnesota. The size and excellence
of the Kansas wheat crop is attested by
the heavy volume Of the deliveries and
the eager competition for their possession
between the home and foreign millers.
Kansas is the main present source Of
supply, and for month to come, at
least, should be able to hold in check the
hullishness arising from crop failures in
ether parts Of the country, unless fur
ther damage should overtake the crops Of
the United Kingdom and Europe. Heat
snd dry weather have reduced by two
points since July / the promise Of the
corn crop, and further continuation Of
such weather threatens additional de-
tsrioration.
