MAIN STREET OF DIXIE CAN BE
OPENED BY SUPERVISOR
RICE.
Interesting Point of Law Decided by
Judge Brents Saturday-Was
q Dixie Suit.

The case of Paul Thoney, the Dixie
rancher, against George Rice, supervi-
sor Of Road District No. 2, in which
the plaintiff sought to enjoin the SUI
pervisor from opening a dedicated
street through his lands, known as
Cochran's addition to the town of
Dixie, was decided by Judge Brents
Saturday afternoon in favor of Mr..
Rice. Mr.. Thonney in his complaint
alleged that because the road was
never opened or worked by the county
since it was plated and dedicated
some % years ago that the county
had lost it's right to open what is
known as Main street. The point of
law just decided is an important one,
as an adverse decision would have
affected innumerable pieces Of prop
erty similarly situated. Supervisor
Rice will now proceed to open the
street as petitioned for by a number
of property owners in Dixie who own
land contiguous to the street

Thousands of bushels of grain in
Whitman county. Washington, have
been lost this year through delay III
having threshing done, according to
\. Kunkel who returned last even
ing from Lewiston and points in east
ern Washington. ON passing through
the ColfaX country, i'm Whitman cOun-
ty, he says he saw hundreds Of acres
in which the bound grain was still in
shocks and had been sprouted by the
recent rains. one farmer whom he
met told him his grain had been bound
for 40 days, but he had not yet had 1t
threshed, and he named a half dozen
neighbors, all of whom were large
farmers who were in the same situa-
tion.
According to Mr.. Kunkel the bind
ers are quite generally used in Whit
man county, it being estimated that
at least two-thirds the grain of that
county is bound. The reason given for
the delay in threshinc is that the far
mers We're unwilling to pay more for
having bound grain Ihreshed than is
charged for headed wheat. Six cents
was the price for the latter and eight
cents was asked for threshing bound
grain. When this price was refused
/ by farmers many of the machines
drew in for the season, and as a re-
suit many farmers were left without
having their grain threshed. 1t has
/ been estimated that 1000, 600 bushels
/ of grain in Whitman county have been
( lost through the sprouting of un-
threshed wheat. However, Mr.. Kun
/ kel believes that this is an eXaggera-
tion. and that not much over half that
/ amount will be ruined
THE present situation in Whitman
county is in many ways a repetition
of tn. season of SO. when immense
quantities Of wheat were lost by
sprouting and the farmers were hard
hit" said Mr.. Kunkel. However,
I this year they are i'm much better con-
ditiOn to stand the loss than they Were
in 80, for most of the farmers are
