broken tomorrow when the auto races
are pulled off at the fair grounds under
the auspices of the Northwestern Auto
Track association. The track is in eX-

the fastest in the northwest and some
exciting races and exhibitions will be
witnessed that will give the enthusiasts
in Walla Walla something to talk about

From Tie Times.
E. M. Steward, the Lamar tomb
stone man, was down the first Of the
week erecting some monuments in
the Granada cemetery.
Q. D. Baldwin and family return
ed Monday morning from a several
weeks trip to the Pacific northw west.
They report delightful time.
Hiram Hogue moved down from
Lamar the first OF the week and will
be employed at the beet dump at
this place. He has rented the house
belonging to Mrs. Nettie Hale in the
west part Of town.
There is still good money to be
made raising wheat. A. b. 5. Co.
had q field Of over 200 acres in
Turkey Red wheat which is said to
have yielded so bushels to the acre
Figure up the cost of the production
OF an acre OF wheat and ind the net
profit as compared with an average
acre of beets. The wheat will not
be SO very far behind.
We are informed that surveyors
are at work on the line OF the old
canal which runs south Of Granada
and that it is the intention to clean
il out, repair and extend it to Butte
creek this winter. The line is
owned by the American Beet Sugar
company, which also has large hold
ings south of Amity which will be
covered by this ditch. A large
amount of the land to be thus
brought under cultivation lies near
and is tributary to Granada, and its
opening up to cultivation means
much for Granada.

Milking Machine.

A new milking machine was Ie-
Gently installed in an Iowa town
and the local editor, having been in
vited to see it operate, returned to
his office and wrote this description
of the lseteal appliance:
A new milking machine has jus,
been invented and is in successful
operation in the D. dairy. 1t is
an electric motor which fastens to
the rump of the COW, the electricity
being generated by q small dynamo
attached to her tail. She switches
her tail, the dynamo starts and by
means of bevel gear and block and
tackle the milk is extracted, strained
and the pail and strainer hung up
to dry. A small phonograph &C.
companies the outfit and yells $50
every time the COW moves. If she
lifts her foot to kick a dingus slides
over a whatnot, and the phonograph
says "dam it." If she continues to
kick hinged arm grabs up the
milk stool and clans" her on the
back until it loosens a patch of skin
the size of dish pan.-E1.

20 YEARS AGO
Notes from The Lamar Register Of
Oct. 8, 1887

Sixteen delegates and alternates
to the democratic convention were
elected and all that remain here to-
day are 1. L. Maxwell, j. g. Boyd
and @. r. Thomsn.
The city election Monday to vote
bonds to purchase the city water
works resulted in solid vote for the
bonds.
The Bank Of Lamar moved TO its
new quartrrs in the big new two
story brick block on Monday of this
week. Its officers are A. V. Scott,
cashier; w. w. Cooper, assistant
cashier.
The family Of W. L. Aorehouse
arrived from Winfield, Kansas, on
Monday and will make this their
home now.
L. G. Henry, owner of the Haskell
Ditch, was in town with PROPOSE
ton to extend the ditch from Horse
Creek to Big Sandy if the farmers
would subscribe for water rights at
SO per acre. The terms were one
fifth down, with privilege Of working
same out at 90 per yard, balance
Eve payments at 8 per cent interest,
company to loan purchaser $500 on
each 100 acres in addition to first
payment on water right. At these
favorable rates it seems laughable
now to think that it was hard work
to get the land owners to sign con-
tracts. It would take ten times the
price to get very many of these

last Friday in Denver before United
States Commissioner Hinsdale. Un.

which will take about thirty days,
and then it will be submitted to
Judge Lewis for argument, which
will be as soon as it can be reached
on the regular calendar. In the
opinion Of Attorney Lsmbright, the
CASE is in good shape, and he thinks

est Market Price.

promised, will do the work, is short
ly to be tried in the potato fields Of
Greeley in an effort to supply the
place Of laboring men, that each
year are becoming harder to procure
in sufficient numbers in northern
Colorado to harvest the crop before
frost.
The invention, it is claimed, will
not alone dig the potatoes the same
as other machines now in use, but
will also sort and pick up the pota-
toes at the rate of wagonload in
twenty minutes.
By sort Of elevator attachment
the marketable potatoes are lifted
from the digger to the wagon, driven
alongside the digger. The small
potatoes drop through a coarse
screen on the ground, the same rs
with the present sorter, that re-
quires an extra man to operate.
The whole contrivauce is the in
vention of a Topeka, Kans., man.

Warnings are being sent out from
the Treasury Department as to new
counterfeits that are appearing, and
one OF the latest is in regard 10

new photo-engraying process and
made up on two thin sheets OF
paper with the silk threads that dis.
tinguish the real Government bill

them. It is said to be very clever
piece OF work, and TO mark decided
step forward in the line of criminal
art The department is having a
good deal OF trouble now with coun.
terfeit coins Of genuine silver. OF
course during the time when silver
was at the lowest market price,
there was good profit in buying
the metal in bulk and working it
up into silver coins OF all sorts,
Some OF these are excellent pieces OF
work, and as there was nothing but
pure silver in them they were rather
hard to tell from the genuine, The
work now, however, seems
to be recoining Mexican and South
American silver currency with the

WHY NOT RAISE POULTRY

It is just as honorable and respect
able business TO raise poultry for mar
ket as It is to produce any other
staple OF the farm. The man who
diversifes and converts the product
OF his brain and labor into money
along the lines Of honest endeavor.
sets an example which is worthy Of
emulation by his neIghbors.
AT present high prices for these
products. the business presents an
inviting field and we hope that these
industries viii be developed and
broadened to a much greater degree
In the future
The price Of an average hen in
the retail groceries at the present
time Is 65 to rs cents and we presume
the same prices hold' good in all
other cities. Eggs are 25 20 80 cents
per dozen sand fryingsize chickens
are from forty TO sixty cents each.
Most Of the poultry. eggs and butter
which come 20 the markets Of our
large Southern cities to supply the
people are shipped from northern and
Western States the same as our corn,

deniable and irrefutable truth that
an Of these staple commodities and
necessary food supplies can be bot
ter raised IN the South. especially
poultry.
Here is presented an opportunity
for dIyerslncation on the farms o.
