The tires wllt not have to be set every time there is a dry spell, he says.
 Nowadays the rim of an ordinary bugs gy wheel is made from pieces six to eight feet in length. requiring choice cuts of timber. When the spokes become woru and the rim gets dry and loose 1t causes the familiar rattle. A visit to the black+ smith shop and a tedious wait until the tires are set is about the only remedy. By the stump method the rim will be made of short pieces from six to ten inches long, fitted into iron hanges at the end of each spoke The iron will not' dry LID or warp: hence there will be nd rattle. The short cuts will also make tha wheel much cheaper to manufacture, it isl said, and the longer lumber can be used for other purposes Sendelbach now has representatives iTf Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas and, eastern states buying stumps by the acre.i Automatic machinery will be used to pulE the stumps from the ground The farmer can then plant his crop without any an-; noyance from the vexatious stumps.

Much Rainfall
on The ISthmuS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Four and
one-half inches of rainfall in one hour,
and LIS inches in only ten minutes, is
going some, but that is what they had
down in Panama one day last month.
They called it a shower, but admitted
that it was the heaviest that has been
recorded on the isthmus since the
American occupation. 1t began about
noon and lasted until 9:45 p. m. but
the heaviest precipitation was between
2:30 and $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
During those three hours there were
1852 inches of rain.
A part of the roadbed of the Panama
railroad was washed away and the
main Of the Union Oil company pipe
line was broken.
Fortunately the precipitation was
greatest at points where little Or no
excavation is in progress. Except for
and the natural difficulty of handling
mud, the work on the canal proceeded
as usual the day after the storm.
From the time the Americans began
a systematic investigation on the 18TH
mus Of Panama in 1904 up to July 1.
this year, 1912 miles Of borings have
been made to determine the geological
structure along the line of the canal.
By means of these borings suitable
foundations for locks and dams have
been found and the character Of exca-
vation has been determined in advance
Of the actual excavating work.

ODerdted On
Crooked Limbs

One of the most difficult operations
that has been performed in the city for
some time was that yesterday afternoon
bv DR.. Schapp of Butte, Montana, who
is a specialist in Strengthening crooked
and deformed limbs. The operation was
performed on the foot of Mart Gartoft,
the little stepson of George Barnes
brother OF the notorious Bud Barnes.
1t is said that George Barnes and his
wife have parted and that neither
husband or wife are in fiourishing cir
cumstances The little boy is 1ovable
little fellow and his crooked foot, which
is turned at right angles to mis- leg,
has attracted the sympathy of all VINO
have known him.
When it became known that the no.
ted specialist would be in the city dur
ing the meeting Of the medical asso-
citation this week, the citizens of
Waitsburg made up a purse to have
the little fellow brought down and
treated. John H. Morrow brought him
down day before yesterday and yes
terday afternoon the operation was
performed at st. Mary's hospital.
1t is said the operation was entirely
successful and the little Bartoft boy
has excellent chances Of recovery.

Byzantine Mass.

LONDON, Sept 12-As a feature
of today's session of the Eucharist
congress, celebration of mass in the
Byzantine rite was held today This
is the first time such a ceremony was
ever performed in London. A special
dispensation permitting the rite was
granted by the pope, on the ground that
it was a happy thought to give this
great assemblage Of western Catholics
an object lesson of the universality of
the church by affording them the rare
opportunity of assisting at the ancient
liturgy used by so many of the brethren
in the east, one with them in faith and
in communion with the holy see.
The principal business gathering of
the congress was held today in Albert
hall, several cardinals and scores of
bishops participating. Special religious
services tomorrow will mark the close
of the congress.

Chief of Police Davis yesterday re-

Chief Davis at once instituted a search

Superintendent Masterson, of the
county poor farm, was summoned
and at once made arrangements to
take care of them until they could be
sent back to Spokane, where the wom-
an has friends and relatives.
Friends of Jansan are surprised at
the turn matters have taken, for he
has always been known as an honest
and upright man. He served in the
late war and was discharged with hon.

service. 1t is though his previous good
records will tighten his sentence in
this case. His wife is not well and the
