Barley Fields Burned.

Thursday last fire destroyed 30
acres OF barley. on the Reed Jonas
ranch. The fire was started by
sparks from an o. r. G. N. locomotive
and the flames licked the ground
clean, leaving nothing of the fine
field of barley but a black waste.
There was no insurance on the
grain and it will be total loss, ex-
cept what Mr.. Jonas will be able to
recover from the railroad company.
Mr.. Jonas lost 10 acres of barley in
the same way about three weeks ago
As the barley would have yielded
about 75 bushels to the acre, Mr.
Jonas loss is a heavy one.-Daytor

ORIGIN OF "MIACADAM."
Popular Road Construction Method
Started by John l.. Macadam.

Popular Road Construction Method
Started by John l.. Macadam.
We are told all about the construc-
ton Of macadam roads, in the latest
bulletin OF the office of public roads.
United States department OF agricul-
ture, says a technical review, The
work gives in detail the best practice
in macadam road construction, ana
especially that followed by the Mass.
achusetts highway commission.
1t may not be so generally known
at this time that the word macadam
is derived from John L. Macadam.
Scotch engineer. who in the early part
Of the last century invented the pro-
cess of roadmaking which bears his
name. .,e...-r ''"
The macadam type Of road surface
ing is particularly well adapted to
main ways connecting centers OF pop
ulation, on which there Is moderate
amount of travel. 1t is not an eco
nomical form of pavement for the
main streets of cities and large towns,
and it Is usually too expensive for
country roads other than the main
ways. It resembles closely the gravel
road. When the road built of gravel
is not quite sufficient to resist suc-
cessfully the wear and tear of the traf-
fic over 1t, macadam surfacing may
usually be substituted for the gravel
with satisfactory results.
The bulletin states that, singular
ly enough, at the present time the
worst foe of the macadam road is
perhaps, its most ardent advocate
the motor vehicle. The steel wheels
of the ordinary vehicle grind off suf-
ficient powder from the stones to serve
as binder, replacing the binding ma
terial blown away by the wind oil
washed off by rains. But the swift!
moving motor car of the present ia.
has introduced a new problem int
! road maintenance.
The large rubber tires on wheels o
small diameter appear to exert sue
/ ton on the binder of the road. Tn
vacuum caused by the vehicle NOV
ing rapidly over the road lifts tn
dust into the air in clouds, and 1t
blown away into the fields.
, Various substances are being ex

= evil. Coal tar and oils with an as
phaltic base seem to give the best re
Q suits. In France tar has been use

l am not railroading at present, and
probably never will be again, and
don't own mile of track in the world.
But here are the figures-put them
down as we go and l Will soon tell
you what your coal ought to cost you
here in Caldwell: One dollar and so
cents at the mine; 500 miles haul at

to the railroad. That makes $3.50
on the car laid down here. Now the
dealers will have to pay so cents per
ton to get 1t hauled to your bin. That
makes Sc without any profit for the
dealer. You should be charitable
enough to let the dealer get SO cents

that would make your coal cost you

venczue1a's New Leper Hospital.

William w. Russell, American
minister at Caracas, writes that the
new Venezuelan national leper hos
ritAl on the seashore near La Guaira
has been completed and is now ready
for occupancy. The old hospital in
Caracas has been abandoned and the
10 ieper patients have been trans
ferred to the new hospital. This
transfer was made in the early hours
Of the morning, the English railway
employing for the purpose a lot of
old open freight cars, and the cars
were all brought back to the Caracas
station and burned. The new hos
pital is a very large and commodious
building and is in an isolated spot
on the seashore between Cape
Blanco and Maiquetia.

Plows and harrows were received
some time since and taken to the
scene of operation, about seven miles

the engine. Mr.. King, an expert sent
here for the purpose, will start the
machinery and instruct its owners as
to its care and handling.
The Desert Improvement company
is composed of "a local people, many
| of whom have lived In TINS section ior
years, who have taken homesteads In
body aggregating 300 acres, and
will engage in wheat raising on Da-

The engine will draw 20 disc plows,
cutting 161a feet. In seeding time a
seeder will be attached and plowing,
narrowing and seeding will be done at
one operation. Flowing will at once
begin and 1t is hoped to get about 500
acres into grain this fall, and the en-
tire tract as soon as possible. Wheat
will be mostly grown. By operating
as a company and purchasing labor
saving machinery, the expense OF
farming will be materially reduced.

Fortunes In Small Tracts.

Anton Horsky. an intelligent and
progressive gardener of the Prickly
Pear valley. has Just demonstrated
the fact that half an acre of land
within sight of Helena will produce
a yearly strawberry crop worth $500.
Mr.. Horsky's strawberry beds are
within easy reach Of the Helena mar
ket and his berries are of such size,
color and flavor as to command the
top price. All of Mr.. Hofsky's berry
crop was sold before It was picked,
and If he had had five acres yield
he would have sold $4,000 worth of
the luscious fruit.-Helena Indepen-

FOR AUTO BoULEvARDs.
Seattle Would BE Connected With

Seattle Would BE Connected With
Other Cities by Good Driveways.
A combined movement is afoot on
the part of automobile enthusiasts In
Tacoma and Seattle to improve the
roads between Chehalis and Vancou-
yer, says a Seattle letter. The road
from Seattle to Chehalis is satisfac-
tory to the motorists, but from the
latter point to the Columbia river
they are declared impossible in many
places.
There are $50 automobiles in Seat
tie and a large number in Tacoma,
and nearly all are enthusiastic over
the prospect of making Sunday trips
to Portland which they declare is al
most impossible at present because
of the condition of the roads. 1t is
believed that with good roads between
the Puget sound cities and Portland,
at least 25 or 80 automobilists would
take the ride to Portland every Sun
day.
In order to insure success to the
movement, the matter will be taken
up by motorists of the three cities
with the county authorities in the
counties where the road needs inn
proving. Pressure will be brought
to bear upon them in such way that
roads a question of prime Importance
and carry the work to an early con,
clusion.

Freewater, Aug. 1.-The different
fruit packing houses of this vicinity
are kept very busy at this time. Prune
time is almost at hand, and the man
ayers of the various establishments
have hundreds of employees at work,
and more will be needed as the rush
comes on.
1t is expected that the prune crop
will be immense this year, and many
tons of the famous italian and Hun
garian varieties will be shipped out
to eastern states and across the At
lantic. During the past week the
different establishments shipped
about five carloads of apples, and
many plums daily. Prices of plums
average rs cents per 100 pounds; so
cents per box for apples; 1 cent a
pound for peaches and 2 cents per
pound for apricots.
Many Biackberries.
The blackberry crop is coming in.
and the production is very heavy this
year, and considered by old timers
the biggest crop ever grown here.
They are now quoted at s1.25 per
crate. Ranchers are making up for
the deficiency in price by the great
increase in production. Cantaloupes
and watermelons are beginning to
come in and are bringing good prices.

APPLE CROP UNCERTAIN.
From Pennsylvania to the Pacific
Coast the Crop Is Irregular.


The Chicago Packer reviews the
apple crop of the United States in
the following detailed manner:
Apples in all that part of the
United states west of Pennsylvania
and extending to the Pacific coast
promise very irregular crop.
In some sections like Arkansas,
Washington and the northwest the
crop will be large and of fine quail
ity. The outlook in California, Ore
gon, Idaho and Utah is fairly good.
Colorado promises to yield in the
neighborhood of 1000 cars of good
fruit. East of the Mississippi river
and extending right through the
Ohio valley the crop can hardly be
called large, nor even medium and
much of it will be Indifferent quail
ity.
At the same time, in these states
there will be considerable fruit to
market and it will cut some figure
in making the seasons prices. Mich
igan, though short of last year. will
have more or less fruit with some to
ship.
There is fair sprinkle in Iowa,
less than 100 cars in New Mexico. a
good crop in Oklahoma, though
most of the orchards are young, and
limited crop in Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri were both practically
put entirely out of the deal by frosts
and while there will be a little fruit
in Missouri, yet for the most part
this state as we'll as Kansas will have
