around, only to see two big pistols
staring him in the face. He was!

Weed spraying 4 success

rs z 4 5trsi
Professor Bclley Of the ~. y. sta
ton authorizes statement.
AS is we'll known. the North Da
kota Experiment station has for 2
number Of years worked upon tho
question Of the use of chemical
sprays in destroying weeds In Ger
cal grain fields. Professor Boiley as
an experiment station man first un
iertook this work in America, and
there seems to be no literature to
show that ne was not the originates
of the work as conducted in Europe
Il is certainly true that tho the ex
detrimental work was undertaken a.
the North Dakota Station in 1896 and
carried long very connectedly to the
present time by Bolley and his as.
sfstants, that there was no suitable
machinery for such work to be fouAd,
either in Europe or America until the lf
last three or four years.
Professor Bolley has during the
past three or four years, after becom-
ing convinced that the process was
one which would be of great value 70
the northern farmers, especially Ger;
cal growers, made every effort tc
gel spraying machinery manufactur'
ers Of America to take an interest
in the work and modify their ma
chimes in such manner that the work
could be done by horse power, SIN
ply driving over the fields. 70 his
correspondence he found, to- start
with, firms were not interested in the
matter at all. They had not been
in the habit Of selling spraying ma
chinery to grain raisers, and did
not believe the process feasible;
hence, refused to even establish agen
cies in the northwest territory. these
firms, however, have now recognized
that a large field rs open to them
and more than dozen spraying ma
chinery manufacturers are busily en-
gaging Is competing for the farmel
trade IN these machines.

Last Wednesday Miss Bessett came
to Cando and called on Judge Mahood
and asked for d marriage license,
stating that she intended 70 marry
Mr.. Boyd and square up his financial
troubles. The Judge was advised to
refuse the license. He advised her to
confer with Judge Cowan, which she
did with the result that the license
was obtained and she returned and
the two we're married at the court
house Friday
Mrs, Boyd will pay up all of Mr..
Boyd's Indebtedness, amounting to
about. $3.50, go his bonds which is
$1,000 and the proceedings against
him will in all probability be drop

Mr.. Boyd's recent experience will
mo doubt be a lesson That he will not
soon forget, ana we sincerely hope
that this may be the turning point
in his life, and that the newly mar
ried couple may have a long, happy
and useful life.
It Is rumored that the heroine Of

that they will retire to quiet home

as Boise has had track events for
several years, and since there is es-
pecially good material this year, the
local team will easily carry off most
of the honors." In the first place,
it should be the College of Idaho, in
stead of the Caldwell High School,
one of the little mistakes found so
frequently in the Statesman. At the
beginning of the article the States
man gave the date of the meet as
April 23d, another one of those lit
tie mistakes in which the Statesman
excells. The College of Idaho regu-
larly held track meets with Weiser
Academy some eight or ten years
ago. Even if this were our first
year In track sports, we should con-
slider that of small disadvantage in
competing with Boise. A comparison
of the baseball and football teams of
the past few years of the two schools
strangely enough, shows that Boise
ranks considerably lower than the G.
of l. We wish to state that the Col
lege of Idaho has good material this
year for track team, the same ma
terial that has been defeating Boise
in baseball and football for the past
few years. We fear that the editor
of the dope sheet" who wrote the
article in question must be a dope
fend and was having a pipe dream
when he wrote it. AS to Boise carry
ing off all the honors, we call at
tention to the old proverb, HE who
