FARMER HAVE A RIGHT TO
COMBINE

That farmes have a right to COM
bine to sell their crops has been dis
puted by some of the newspapers who
are opposed to the best interests of
the farmers.
For the benefit of all concerned,
the following act of the legislature
of Kentucky, under the date of March
2l, 1906, is published:
"It is hereby declared lawful for
any number of persons to combine,
unit or pool, any or all, of the crops
of wheat, tobacco, corn. oats, hay,
or other farm products raised by them.
for the purpose of classifying, grad
ing, storing, holding, selling or dis
posing of same. either in parcels or as
a whole, in order or for the purpose
of obtaining greater or higher price
therefor than they might or could obtain
or receive by selling said crops sepa-
-ately or indi, idually. "-EquityPress

as to make them go to sleep a year nr
two. Having learned a few things
from experience in the past year or
two, this would enable them to en-
trench themselves more strongly than
ever before.
Millers will also invite the estab-
lishment of these agencies because it
will make it possible for them to
obtain wheat as it comes from the
farm, unplugged and unadulterated.
These agencies are being established
by the Grain Growers Department
of the American Society of Equity,
whose National headquarters are main
trained at Indianapolis, Ind. - From

LONGEST STEEL BRIDGE.

The big railway bridge across the
Columbia river, which the Portland
& Seattle Railway company is build
ing at Vancouver, Wash, will be a
mile and half long - the longest
steel bridge in the world, states Van
couver report. Work was begun in
January, 1906, and it is expected that
the mammoth structure will be COM
pleted early in 1908.
The bridge is located short distan-
ce. from the main part of the city,
though the abutments and the approach
are within the city limits. 1t is. on
the site where the Union Pacific star
ted to build bridge fourteen''years ago,
in fact, the second pier from the WASH
ington side the one on which the
draw bridge will rest-was built by the
Union Pacific. 1t extends oyer a small
island on the Oregon side and across a
slough beyond there are forty-eight
piers, ten in the river and the rest on
the island and in the slough. Those
in the river are sunk forty feet below
the bottom, and are built of solid con-
crete from the bottom up to within
about forty feet of the top. The up
per portion is constructed of solid
granite blocks.
Working in the caissons at forty
feet below the bottom of the river,
owing to local conditions, was more
perilous than usual in such work. One
workman lost his life, and several were
stricken with the strange disease call
ed "the bends - paralysis of the
lower part of the body. The piers
range in depth from 100 to 10 feet.
They are 21x59 feet at the bottom and
lOx52 feet at the top, except the pier
on which rests the draw bridge which
is about So feet square.

A new DEAL IN MARKG TING
Farmers Are Now Selling Their Grain Dlrekt
To Consumers

On the l4th Of August farmers SELL
ing agencies were established in Kan
sas City and st. Louis for the first
time in the history of American agri-
culture. Farmers are now going into
the large market centers to sell their
products direct to consumers in whole
sale .lots. These new agencies are
also the only agencies in the country,
at the present time whose managers
are directly accountable to the pro :
ducers for the manner in which their
products are handled. Every man
employed by these agencies works
on the salary basis. hence the induce
ment to make as much out of the
product as possible, while it is being
handled from the producer to the
consumer, as is the case with the other
class of selling agencies, is removed.
There is no reason why these new
agencies should at any time make
any effort to put millers and other
buyers of grain next to as many
bargains as possible of grain shipped
to them or to help "make it miser-
able" for shipments of grain coming
from individual or farmers eleva-
tors.
The missing link which the farmers
have looked for so long has now been
inserted in their marketing machine.
The troubles which farmers elevators
and independent shippers have expe-
rienced in the past for want of the
right kind of selling agencies in the
principal markets has now been reno
we'd. 1t is now up TO the farmers,
Independent shippers, and farmers
elevators to prove by their patronage, i,
whether or not they are willing to
build up agencies of their own. 1t is
expected that the old agencies now
established, will do everything in their
power to induce farmers to starve out
their own agencies. They will no
doubt give better deals on grain
shipped to them than they have ever
done before hoping that by so doing
they will be able to create such a
feeling of satisfaction among the
farmers and independent shippers that
they will quit making all the noise
and disturbance which they hae been
doing lately. 1t would pay big for
them to have dope administered to
farmers and independent shippers 50

"OLD BONES" IN
SORROW RETURNS
BENT AND BLIND OLD INDIAN PLEADS
FOR THE LAND OF HIS FATHERS
NORTH BANK RAILROAD RESPECTS NOT
THE WlGWAM THAT HAS SMOKED FOR
YEARS ON THE SNAKE.


Because the North Bank railroad is
appropriating his home for part of
its right-of-way, "Old Bones," con-
spicuous Indian character, is on the
war path and appeared at the local
Office yesterday with an appeal to the
officials to have the "Great White
Chief" at Washington command the
interlopers to "clatawah.
"Old Bones" has lived on the land,
which is in township 13 north, of ram
ge 81, along the Snake river about Sc
ven miles below Texas rapids, for 60
years and his fathers occupied the ter
ritory for generations ahead of him.
The old warrior believes that the land
belongs to him and all efforts to con-
vince him otherwise were of no avail.
With handkerchief around his eyes
which are blind from age, wrapped
in his blankets and attired in full In
dian array, the old chief, in company
with his daughter and young grandso..,
sat in the registers Office and told his
troubles, in jargon, to Perry Lyons
who interpreted the conversation for
the officials.
According to "Old Bones," he and
others of his tribe. have lived on the
land in the vicinity ofTexas rapids for
so long a time that "the memory of
=. .nsss< ss.s-r- Ne rss.Ns aAssv..-s-. n -"
man runneth not to the contrary, - and
then they never been molested in their
possessions. Some time ago an Indian
agent was sent out from Washington
to locate the claims of the natives but
no filings .were made for the Indians,
with che exception of "Old William"
who finally secured title to his claim.
Recently the North Bank road has
sent in gangs o. .laborers. The old
burrying grounds sof the tribes has
been plowed up and sacred rights of
the Indians disregarded. The right
of-way of the railroad runs directly
through the home of "Old Bones" and
he has been forced to vacate the wig
vans so long inhabited by himself and
his children and his fathers and their
fathers.
Having secured legal title to his
land "Old Williams" has been paid
damages by thecompany, but the other
members of the tribe have been unce-
tremendously driven from their old
haupts and they cannot SET. any justice
in the actions of the white men. There
is no way to make them understand the
subtle reasoning of the law and they
can only see the eternal injustice of
the proceedings. Arguments were USE
less, explanations were in vain, the
old fellow insiting that the landwas his
and it was evident that he was ready,
even at this late day, to put on his war
paint and die for what he conceived to
be his rights.
The controversy will probably be
submitted to the Indian commissioner
for settlement.

KOKOMO TOOK GAME
IN TWELVE INNINGS
First Contest at Howard COun-
ty Capital a Brilliant
Pitchers Battle.
LOST ON BAD DECISION.
CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS THE
REAL CAUSE OF THE DEFEAT
OF THE OUAKERS-MOORE
FINE WORK.

Kokomo. Ind. June 27.<kokomo
took the opening game with the Rich
monds in a brilliant twelve inning
pitchers duel. Moore, the crack slabs
man of the Quakers was pitted against
the local twirling star. Lacey and the
former had the best of the argument,
even though Kokomo won the fame.
A decision by the umpire. who is a
substitute on the local team, in the
eighth inning, lost the game for Rich
mond Ii was so unfair that even
the crowd hooted the decision. In the
eighth, with three men on bases, Miller
at bat with two strikes and three balls
called on him, Lacey pitched wide
one which was outside the plate at
least two feet Miller started to take
his base and the runner on third start
ed to come home, but to the astonish-
ment of everyone, even the Kokomo
players. the umpire declared Miller
out on strikes.
Miller held Kokomo down to two
stingey hits. One of them made in the
twelfth lost the game to the visitors.
A Kokomo player got life by Wilter-
mood dropping a fly He was then
sacrificed to second and third. A tant-
alizing infield hit brought him home
Lacey struck out twelve men and al
lowed only four hits. Moore whitfield
eight batsmen. The score:

PATRONAGE Is Small.

Owing to the fact that the team up
to the first of this week had been play
ing erratic baseball and had tend
ency TO drop more games than they
won. the fans became chilly to the out

Athletic park has not been as large as
desired The paid admission last sun
day was only 500 Local baseball en-

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
(By Tort.)

Friday afternoon Richmond opens a
series of two games with the crack
Dunkirk team at Athletic park. The
Quakers will return home after four
days absence. Two games were play
ed with Decatur and the Quakers sue
ceeded in getting an even break on
the series. If the locals succeed in
bagging the second game with Koko-
mo-Sharpsville, and they stand a good
chance to do so with Fleming working
in the box, they will have secured an
even break on that series Two games
won and two lost would be good road
record and the fans would find no
fault.

Should Draw Well.

The Dunkirk series here should
draw good crowds. Wednesday after
noon Dunkirk administered a singing
defeat to the ambitious young athletes
of the Portland team and are travel
ing lick now that makes the grass in
their wake siZZle. Since last Sunday
the Quakers have been playing in
splendid form. They have been a tri-
file shy with the bat but their fielding
game has brought forth favorable COM
ments from the critics in Decatur and
Kokomo. Moore and Fleming are
pitching high class ball at the present
time and Southpaw Tacks Fisher
should round to shortly. He probably
will pitch the first game against Dun
kirk while Moore will work against
Dunkirk. Saturday.

Farm Residence on the Middle
boro Pike Was Burned
Wednesday Night.
THE ORIGIN is NOT KNOWN.
Mr.. DAYTON is INCLINED TO THE
BELIEF THAT 1T WAS INCEND-
larry LOSS BETWEEN $500
AND $4,000.

The home of VIM. II. Dayton, four
and one half miles north of Richmond
on the Middleboro pike, was com
pletely destroyed by fire about ten
o'clock Wednesday night. Only very
few small articles of furniture were
saved.
Mr. Dayton is of the opinion that
the fire was of incendiary origin as he
states that while sitting in the kitchen
preparing to retire for the night, he
smelled smoke and ran TO the parlor,
where fire was burning briskly along
side the piano. There is no flue at
this point. according TO Mr.. Dayton,
and there could have been no means
of setting it afire other than at the
hands of some firebug.
Mr.. Dayton was the only one at
home at the time and he is of the opin-
ion that in case the fire was started
purposely. the perpetrators of the
deed thought the entire family away
from home as Mrs. Dayton and child
rem are now in Richmond, the guests
of friends.
The house was a good structure and
ii is thought the loss Will be considera-
BILE, although it is not known just
what it will aggregate. 1t may run
between $500 and $4,000. 1t is not
known whether any insurance was car
ried.
The fire created considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood Shortly
after the flames were noticed farmers
came driving to the scene from sew
