S;UnD!y IL Fake

The .umOrcd discontinuance OF the
Sidney land Office turns out to be a
fake pure and simple. No doubt the
department at Washington, consider
ing the cutting down of the number Of
land Offices, had Sidney on the list, but
investigations Of the reports Of bust
ness done in the Sidney Office did not
warrant its discOntinuunce, and our
representative. Moses +. kIncaid. will
LOOK after the interests of his cOnstitu-
ents. As long as the Sidney land Office
makes such good showing as it has
done during the present year, with
several hundred thousand acres of va
cant land yet in its territory, there is
no immediate danger of its removal.
The local officials only laugh at the
idea of discontinuauce and no doubt
they have unquesJioned inside infor-
nation, at least their opinion and
judgment in the matter is much bet
ter and more reliable than the garbled
press dispatches from Washington,
which are partly fixed up.to fill space.

The editor Of the Tidings cx-
cuses his attempt to steal $500
from the county, an exposure of
which was made in these columns
last week, upon the plea of ignor-
ance. He did not know the legal
rate in Colorado for publishing.
consequently he charged the price
allowed by statute in Nebraska
for similar work.
BY this statement he cOnvlcts
himself of being not only knave
but a fool as well. Even had he
thought the rate for legal publ
cations the same in Colorado as in
Nebraska-Sl.00 per souare-and
had charged accordingly for pub.
fishing the list of nominations, he
could not have honestly charged
more than $4,000 for the work.
There were only 200 inches, or
squares. in the list, and this at
Sl.OD per square amounts to
$4,000. But his bill for the
publication was S234. OO-S34. 90
more than the rate allowed in
Nebraska.
Moreover, Acklin's statement
that he did not know the rate for
legal publications in Colorado is,
too put it mildly, untrue. About

editor of the Tidings came to

Good Points OF MacarOni Wheat.
The acreage Of Macaroni wheat is
greatly increasing in western Kansas,
where, in many places, it has now
! been grown for several years in a
small way. 1t yields so per cent more
to the acre than ordinary wheat and
it Will flourish in regions where the
annual rainfall does not exceed ten
| inches. This is stated on the uuthori-
ty of M. A. Carleton, Il former Kansas
and government expert. who is intro
ducing ibis wheat to the farmers in
the dricr regions Of western states.
Last year one million bushels of Mae
aroni wheat were produced in
this country, and the time is not far
I distant when thirty million or fifty
| million bushels of Macaroni wheat will
be produced on the plains of the great
| west.
Charles G. Boone, who has grown
| this wheat near Ashland, Kansas, has
found it well adapted to that part of
| the state and says it can be sOwn any
time from fall until the middle of
April. He says of it: "My Macaroni
| wheat has averaged from 10 to % BUSH
els per acre. When it is sown late it
will not stool 50 we'll as when sown
earlier. In & dry year it is all the bet
ter not to stool too much. The 10
bushel average only had one grain Oh
it after it was sown; being thin on the
ground is what made the crop, and the
| berry was fine, full size
Macaroni wheat was imported sew
eral years ago from Russia by the de-
| partment of agriculture and the seed
distributed to farmers. The reports
that the government has received
| from the farmers who have grown 1T
show that the yields have been from 30
| to 100 per cent greater than that OF
ordinary wheat under the same condi-
! tons. 1t is cultivated in the same
| way, except that it requires heavier
seedng-abOut one and Onc-half bush
| els to the acre-bccausc the Ma ,aroni
| WhcatS do not stool 80 cHteilsiNeiy as
| the others.
The difficulty has been to induce
the mil!ers TO grind the wheat. They
must have remodclcd equipment to
| handle it successfully. This may af-
| feet it's market for Il short time. but
not for long. B. +. Hotel, Il Colorado
miller, is preparing to handle it on a
| large scale.
Mucaroni flour can be made into., a
! sweet bread Of fine favor, which is a
little richer in protein than that made
from the ordinary flour of average
| composition For bread it is often
| considered desirable to mix 20 per cent
| or more Of red flour with the Macaroni
i wheat flour. 1t thus appears that
| Macaroni wheats may be successfully
| used to extend the wheat area and pro.
| duction in the United States, bnt they
are not likely to come into serious or
harmful competition with the o.dina-
| ry varieties. EXchangc.

dozen or more of the local shipping as

have a control committe of three, five
or seven to carry the recommendation
into effect: to discourage the planting
of more than ten acres by any one
grower: to act as unit in purchasing

needs of the trade: to have one uni
| form ins spection that will put all mel
ons on the market in the best possible
condition and satisfactory to the trade:
| to have registered trade mark to be
used on all crates and to prosecute all
infringemcnts; to take steps to prohib
it the shipment of melons from rusty,
lousy or damaged vines as being detri-
mental to the interests of the trade: to
look after the matter Of freight and
express shipments and endeavor to Sc
cure better rates and service; to pro-
| vide for the raising Of seed for all the
associations and shippers SO that the
whole product of the valley will be
uniform. An effort will be made to
secure uniform contract that will
provide for cash payment either for
the whole value Of the melons, or to
advance sufficient to cover the cost of
crates and the expense of picking,
whichever may be the most advantag-
eOus to the growers and satisfactory to

THE sHoOTIsT MAY BE INSANE.

A sensational shooting ARRAY oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon near
Harvey, Marshall county, six miles
from Benton. Tom McClain shot his
brother, ]. Crit Mccain, but did not
fatally wound hiu. The man who
did the shooting is believed to be
temporarily demented, and had to be
kept tied last night after the shoot
ing took place.
The brothers reside on adjoining
farms. and have not been on good
terms for some time. The cause of
their differences are varied and OF
long standing, but there had been no
serious trouble between them before.
They went to Bnton yesterday to
attend tha circus and Tom McClain
began drinking. They had an alter

blows. 1t is said that on their way
home they again had words, but
friends again prevented trouble.
After reaching home Tom Mccain
went to the farm of his brother and
becoming threatening was warned
to leave. He refused and his brother
went inside. 1t is said that after GO
ing in he reappeared and threw
stick Of wood at Tom, and the latter
drew pistol and shot through the
door, but missed
Crit Mccain then opened the door
again and heaved another stick of
wood, and quickly closed the door.
Tom McClain fired through the
door again and the shot struck his
brother under the left eye. and has
not yet been located. The doctor
does not think the wound is neces-
sarily fatal, however, and the victim
Is able to be up today.
Tom McClain went home after the
shooting and became so wild that he
had to be tied. He will be arrested
as soon as he is in condition to be
taken to Benton.

Abolished.
CONGRESS- MUST FIRST ACT

Washington d. c., Oct. 5.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw, it is an
nounced today has decided to rec
ommend the abandonment of eleven
of the hospitals in the United States
marine service now maintained at
the expense of the government.
There are only 23 of these hospit-
ais in the United States and the rec
concentration of Secretary Shaw can
not be carried out until congress
meets, as the consent of congress is
necessary.
Until congress has acted Secretary
Shaw declines to give out which of
the hospitals it is his intention to
abandon.
1t had been reported for several
days that the government contem-
plated abolishing some of It's hospit-
ais. and it reported that at least two
of these on the Ohio river will be
among those closed.
There are now marine hospitals at
Cincinnati, Louisville, Evansville
and Cairo. There was one at Padu-
cab years ago but 1t was burned
during the war.
One reason the government is to
reduce the service is that there are
now so many hospitals along the
rivers that it can have marine pa
tients cared for at less expense
there than by maintaining its own
hospitals,
