Peanuts are destined to become
one of the good crops of this dis
trict as is evidenced by the sample
crops that have been raised here
this season. Several people who
planted small patches to see how
they would produce and in every
instance the result has been so en-
couraging that larger patches will
be devoted to their culture next
season. Mr.. johnson, whose place
in the Garden Tracts was purchas-
ed this summer by Mr.. Storey,

that the crop is as good as he ever

who lives down in Section Seven

that this is good place to raise
peanuts. This is a crop that is
very profitable where If does we'll

FOR AN OPEN RIVER.
Only Twenty Thousand Dollars More
Needed for the Portage Road.


Needed for the Portage Road
Twenty thousand dollars are re-
CURED to insure the opening of the
Columbia river from Priest rapids,
so miles above Pasco, Wash, to
its mouth. ]. L. Babcock, Of Ar
lingtou, Ore, director Of the OPP.
ell River association, is in Spokane
this week to secure Spokane coun-
ty's proportion of the money to be
raised.
The association proposes to OPP
en- the river by building a portage
railroad around the rapids from
1elilo, Oregon, to the Big Eddy
three miles above The Dalles. The
road will be seven miles long and is
estimated to cost SOS, 900. The
Oregon Legislature appropriated
500, 900 for building the road two
years ago.
A portage road commission was
appointed by the Oregon executive,
but it has steadily refused to under
take the work because it did not
have enough money on hand to
complete it. The Open River as
ISOLATION has promised to raise the
additional $40, 900 and the state
board has agreed to turn the $1o5,
900 over to it when the $40, 900
shall be held i'll escrow.
The association is formed of bus
mess men, farmers and shippers
whose businesses are tributary or
in the districts to be directly bene-
flied by the proposed opening of
the river to tide water for practical
purposes. 1t was organized at The
Dalles last May. Since starting
with the work the association has
secured tight of way for the port
age road its entire length and will
have its working survey completed
in two weeks.
Mr.. Blalock says the association
has already secured pledges for
$40, 900 of the money and many Of
the counties have not been visited
yet. The agreement of the assoc
iation with the portage board re-
quires that the state own and oper-
ate the road after it is built. The
freight is to be hauled over the road
at cost and it is estimated there
will be a net saving of three to five
cents bushel to the raisers OIL
wheat.
Walla Wal!a county will raise
$1,000 Of this fund.

BEATING UP BLIND TIGERS.
They Are Hot on the Trails of tn,
Beasts in DanNiIIe

They Are Hot on the Trails of the
Beasts in DanviIIe.
Danville, Va. June S.-The result of
the grand jury investigation into the
alleged illegal sale of whisky in the
city was the submission to the court
this afternoon of presentments against
the Arlington Club of which l.. P. Nor
gan, one of the proprietors of the Ho-
tel Burton. is president; against o. E.
Hatcher, former bartender, who has
been associated with the Arlington
Club; and against L. P. Morgan and
l.. T. Waugh, proprietors of the Bur-
ton Hotel, accusing all of them of the
illegal sale of whisky in rooms at the
Burton occupied by the club. The last
presentment however. was returned
to the jury for correction, a technical
error having been discovered in the
construction of the paper.
During the investigation sensational
charges were preferred against police
officers John r. Hutson and r. S.
Wynn, accusing them of dereliction of
duty in failing to break up blind tig-
ers, with which the city is said to be
infested, and conniving at the law
breakers who sell whisky in the city.
Mr.. j.. S. Willis in his testimony be-
fore the grand jury stated that he had
on one occasion seen Mr.. Hutson take
a drink in a joint run by Lewis Rob
inson, colored, who has since been in
dicted by this jury. Rev. Percy G..
Elsom. pastor of the Moffett Memorial
Church, testified that information had
been furnished Mr.. Wynn by which
an arrest might have been effected,
but that Mr.. Wynn failed to make the
arrest.
