IDAHO WHEAT
FAKE VARIETY

Tha so-called alaska wheat
that has been attracting so much
attention to the Juliaetta section,
where the alleged new variety orig
mated. has been generally classed
as fake by the agricultural de-
partment at Washington and the ex-
detrimental stations of number OF
states where the wheat has been
tested.
The first report on the wheat
made public came from the Colo
rado state experimental station,
where the new wheat was tested for
nutritive properties and where the
Alaska wheat was planted with the
seven headed wheat, also known as
mummy wheat" The report from
this station shows the new grain to
be identical in every respect with
the mummy" wheat, and the Colo
RADIO station has no hesitancy in
stating the promoters of the Alaska
wheat are either deluded or ar en-.
deavoring to victimize the public.
The experimental station OF the
Washington state college also made
q test of the wheat but was unable
to find any unusual properties. The
experimental station of the Univer-
sity of Idaho made test of the
grain and has recently been COM
PEELED to issue a bulletin disclaim-
ing any responsibility for the ad'
vertising matter sent broadcast
over the country wherein the sta
ton is placed in the position Of be-
ing sponsor for the wonderful
yields claimed for the new grain.
The following Washington dis
patch suggests the view held by the
agricultural department.
washington, Aug. 19.-The ag-
ricultural department brands as a
fake the story recently printed
broadcast over the country about
Wonderful alaska wheat" grown
at Juliaetta, Ida, which was declar.
ed to yield 100 bushels to the acre
Notwithstanding the state
ments OF the grower and seller OF
this wheat, with whom the depart
ment has had much correspondence
the department denies that this Is a
new or even valuable variety Of
wheat. and asserts that 1t Is moth
ing more nor less than mummy
wheat" which caught many suckers
years ago. The fact that the wheat
is selling at $40 and $25 bushs
leads the department to brand thu
stories as clever advertising
scheme
"The so-called Alaska wheat hal
been known to the department To-
years. and schemes similar to tn,
present have been practiced at in
tcrvals for many years"

WILLENLARGEIT
Prospects Good for ShO-
shOne's New Factory
| COmmOdiOus Home to Accom-
mOdate the Sage Brush Tonic
Factory to Be Erected.

Work was started this week on the
new factory for the Sage Brush Tonic
company, here in Shoshone.
This means a lot more, perhaps, than
some may dream. 1t means real fac
tory for Shoshone, one that will en-
ploy considerable labor right from the
first, and promises to grow into an i'm
nense institution. Starting with hum
bic beginnings, the Sage Brush Tonic
has already come to be so well
known that the demand is far away
more than the supply. The company
did its first years work in Starrh 5
drug store. But this year the business
already in sight will keep the new
place taxed to the utmost, and there is
reason to believe that next year will
see the plant increased very largely.
The factory viii be in every respect
right up to-the-minute in complete
ness. Only the latest and most i'm
proved machinery and apparatus, such
as is used in the highest grade of chem
ical and medical supply houses, viii be
Installed. The machinery is due to be
shipped June lst, from Detroit, where
it will be assembled for shipment in
one lot. 1t will be here in time to be
set up and put in operation for the
Years crop of sage. There will be
good market for the native sage brush,
which is the basis for the tonic, as the
factory will use a large quantity in
making the extract for use. The sage
brush will be gathered at the proper
stage of growth, steam-dried, and then
distilled and put through various pro
cesses to extract the essential proper
ties that make the tonic. Some of
these processes are, of course, exclu-
sive. and not for the eye of the general
public.
On no one measure that seems to be
for the good of the town, have the peo-
pie of Shoshone been so unanimous as
in the encouragement of this factory.
There are few business men of Sho-
shone or vicinity who have not taken
out some stock. Other buyers may be
found all along the road; travelling men
who have believed it to be good thing
and have insisted on having small
block of stock; bankers who had a lit
tie ready money for promising invest
ment, and people from almost every
walk of life that pay enough money to
leave a small surplus for investment.
The company has made little effort to
sell stock, most of the buyers coming
in voluntarily when they saw what the
demand was for the products. Some of
the other widely known patent medi-
cines have made millions for their man
ufacturers, and probably not one of
them has either the positive or negative I
merits. or the sound. rational talking
points that the Sage Bresh Tonic pre-
sents. If it should fail, there will be /
many lean purse left in Shoshone, for
the town has supported it as it would .
buy peanuts or ice cream, for immedi-
ate consumption.
