HOT COMPETITION.
Battle Royal for the Sale of Thresh
ing Outfit.

Pete Rickard and John Whitaker
came to town Saturday, having an.
nounced that they intended to buy
a threshing machine on that day,
and, were at once besieged by five
Representatives of threshing ma
chine companies. Friends of the
lBenton county farmers rendered
assistance, but it was rejected.
They had. in fact. invited the at
tack and were prepared to take care
of themselves. At times, however,
during the day, the aspect of the
engagement was bad for Pete and
John, and almost every citizen on
Main street became excited as the
fortunes of battle shifted one way
or the other. But there was one
point which Pete and John under
stood better than the spectators,
and that was the attacking parties
were slashing each other a great
deal more effectively than they
were those to whom they endeavor-
ed to direct their attention. Every
machine man wanted to take the
brunt of the battle himself, and
attack the farmers independently
and, in a commercial sense, he
swatted the comrade who under
took to prevent him from carrying
out bis plan. Ali day long, the
battle royal progressed with vary
ing aspects until near sundown,
when the Advance Thresher Com
pany's man, having almost ex-
hausted his competitors. began to
get in his deadly work on the
farmers. and it was only a brief
time until they had surrendered to
him, however, on most advanta-
geous terms.
That is to say, Pete and John
and several neighbors have jointly
purchased an Advance thresher. It
is $3.50 with wind stacker and
self-feeder. The engine is of 10
horse power, and the outfit is ex-
pected to arrive the first of next
week if not sooner. The parties
thought first of buying a $3.50, but
later decided that, taking every
thing into consideration, the small
er size was preferable. In pur.
chasing their machine the boys had
the benefit of about the hottest COM
petition which has been witnessed
among machine men here in many
a day. Incidents leading up to the
bargain created much interest.

OVER THIRTY FOOT BLUFF.
Log Dragged Team of Fine; Horses
Both Animals Killed in the Fall.

u
A team of horses, well known in
western Benton was instantly killed
by being dragged over thirty foot
bluff, while logging in the vicinity
of Dallas Friday afternoon. The
team belonged to Joseph Reynolds,
who used his horses for logging for
the Benton County Lumber COM
pany in the woods on Greasy dur
ing the summer of two years ago.
While in the latter employ the ami
mails became widely known in the
vicinity, for their beauty, size and
magnificent power as draught hor-
ses. Few times if ever were they
hitched to a log that they
did not ultimately start, though
sometimes, a.number of trials had
to be made. When hugging the
ground in the act of an unusually
hard pull the two faithful animals,
straining every nerve to move the
load, are said to have presented an
inspiring spectacle.
In the accident of last Friday
both horses in the team were killed,
a big log that they were moving on
steep side hill slid over a 3o-foot
bluff dragging the team down with
it. The neck of one animal and
the back of the other was broken.
In his logging operations, the team
is said to have earned several
thousand dollars for their owner,
a snug sum of of which in 3 Dallas
bank is the inheritance the faithful
nags leave to him.

Washington, Jan. 3i.-Naval
Constructor Richmond Pearson Heb
soa, the hero Of the Merrimac cpl
sode, has rendered his resignation
10 President Roosevelt through the
secretary Of the navy. kesr Adj
mural III, T.. Taylor, chief Of The
bureau Of navigation, has recon-
mended that the resignation be &C.
cept. d, and Rear Admiral Bowies,
chief naval Instructor, is Credited
with having taken the same action.
Secretary Moody has not forwarded
Mr.. Hobson's letter to the president.
The action OF Mr.. HoLson was
the result Of the failure Of Congress
to pass the bill providing for his
retirement and Q recent order as
signing him TO duty on the Pacific
. asst. He has been engaged for a
l)ng time in trying 70 secure trans
fer TO the retired list. Mr.. Hobson
1, credited with an ambition to en-
ter politics, but some Of those who
know him say that while this may
be true, his immediate object in de-
string to be relieved from active
service is to 90 upon the lecture
platform to relate his experiences in
tine Spanish-American war.
Since his return from Santiago
Mr.. HObson has seen duty at Manila
and Hong Kong in connection with
the work Of raiSing and repairing
some Of the Spanish gunboats sunk
in the battle of Manila bay, and as
inspector Of construction at Eliza
bethpOrt, N. J. His eyes had given
him a great deal of trouble and the
navy department decided to afford
him change to undo rgo treatment;
so he was granted sick leave in
June, 1902, and when they expired
in September he was placed ON
waiting orders. On his own appli-
cation Mr.. HObson appeared before
retiring board last year for exami-
nation, but the board declined to re-
commend his retirement. on the
ground that his eye, were not per-
manently Injured.
After the report of the retiring
board Mr.. Hobson was ordered to
duty at the Pensacola navy yard,
the navy department believing that
the climate Of Florida would benefit
his health, but he got the depart
ment to hold up the order. A few
weeks ago he was ordered to duty
at the Puget Sound navy yard, at
Bremerton, Washington. This Or
der directed him to report at Bre-
merton February 9. Should his
resignation not be accepted within
the next few days it will be necess-
ary for Mr.. Hobson to start for
BremertOn to avoid getting into
trouble.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.

ness and failure to grow
