Will Use Steam in Logging.

The Panhandle Lumber Co. is investi-
eating the cost of logging by steam APP
paratus and is is likely that practically
all of their future logging will be done
by this process. Logging roads will be
built to reach their holdings and con-
meet with the I. e. W. n. railroad, while
donkey engines and cables will do the
work in the woods.
About two miles and half of logging
road is now being built to connect with
the Blackwell road at Tweedie. Next
spring a road will be built from the
wye, just west or town, running north
and west to take off their timber lands
in the township. It will require eight
or ten miles of railroad to do the work
1t will require from sixty to seventy
five million feet of logs annually to keep
the big mills at Spirit Lake and lone
busy and it is found impractical to get
out this quantity by the old methods.

Won Verdict Against N. P. Railway.

Victor and Oscar Pierson. who are
conducting logging operations in the
West Branch country of the kaniksu
National Forest for the Fidelity Lum-
Der Co.. yesterday were awarded a judg-
ment for $1999.99 by jury in Spokane
county court against the Northern Pa
cifc Railway Company.
Plaintiffs sued for damages resulting
to horses while being transported to
this section from Dillon, Mont, by the
defendant company. 1t is alleged that
the horses were transported without
being fed or watered which caused sick
ness from which some of them died.
The case has been before the courts for
three years and was bitterly fought by
the railroad company. 1t is said that a
precedent has been set which will cost
the railroads thousands of dollars of
damages.

Tho Top Hat.

Tall hats, "pearkin up like the spire
of a steeple a quarter of yard above
the crowne," as sixteenth century
writer describes them, were known in
the time of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beavers Of our
great-grandfathers' days. Top hats of
silk appeared first in Florence about
1900, and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England. About 1910 the French silk
hat was placed on the market and at
once adopted in the familiar chimney
pot shape. There were several vari-
cites Of it, such as the Wellington hat,
with the yeoman crown; the Anglesea
hat, bell shaped at the top, and the
D'Orsay hat, with ribbed silk binding
and big bow. The color also varied.
Thus the Earl Of Harrington started a
craze for green top hats by wearing
one in his garden with the idea Of not
frightening the birds. He also tested
his silk hats by standing upon them.
The top hat. however, was never so
favored by any great parsonage as to
account for it's general adoption.-Lon-

Sold County Bonds.

The 5000, 900 of Stevens county bonos
authorized by the voters of the county
at the special election held Sept. Hn'
were sold this week to H. w. Hulsey q
Co.. of Chicago. the highest bidders.
The bonds were sold to bear interest
at the rate of four and one-half per cent.
per annum and brought premium OF
$3.50. FIVE bonding houses were repre-
sented at the sale and three bids were
received by mail, indicating the eager
ness of bond buyers to get the securities,
Several of the bond firms represented
stated that they preferred the Stevens
county bonds to those of any other
county in the state, the resources OF the
county being so great as to render the
bonds safe and desirable.
The money derived from the sale OF
the bonds will be used to refund the old
bonded indebtedness of the county and
take up the outstanding warrants. AS
the interest rate the county will have to
paw is two and one-half to three and
on e-half per cent. less than it has here
tofore paid on this Indebtedness it will
be seen that an annual saving OF ap'
proximately $4,000 has been affected.

The Intelligent Mule.

"SOme people think mules haven't
much intelligence. but l know they
have" was the way commercial trav-
eler interrupted story teller. Now,
take the town 1 come from. While
was home on visit last year the place
was all wrought up over the systemat-
lie stealing of flowers from the graves
in our leading cemetery. The thing
had been going on some time, and the
people were shocked, of course. Final
ly a guard was posted and the thief
captured, and the thief was mule.
cit didn't take long to get at all the
facts. It seems that a certain woman
living near the cemetery had held up
the mules owner, who was beating the
animal, prosecuted him for cruelty,
then bought the mule and turned it
out to pasture. The mule was so CRATE
full to the woman that every night it
would jump the pasture fence, go into
the cemetery, pick up the freshest
bunch of flowers it could find, carry
them to the woman's house and de-
post them on the front stoop, where
she would find them In the morning.

BEGINS HIS SENTENCE.
Cashier Ed Smith Quietly Taken te
the Penitentiafy.

1t was supposed that Ed Smith, the
recently convicted cashier, would take
advantage of the full 70 days stay al
lowed him by the court when he was
sentenced on Jan. IS, it will cause
considerable surprise when it is learn
ed that Smith has already entered
the penitentiary, has donned the
stripes and is now expiating his
crime.
Until the depositors begin to re-
ceive what little returns Receiver
Hall is able to collect from the
wreck, this is probably the last inter-
esting event in the famous State
Bank case, and of it the La Junta
Tribune says:
Sheriff Potter left last Monday
morning on No. S for Canon City. ac-
eompanied by Ed Smith. the default
ing cashier OF the defunct Rocky Ford
State Bank, who will commence to
serve his sentence of from three to
four years. This is the concluding
chapter of the famous Rocky Ford
bank trial. During a recent visit in
La Junta of a penitentiary captain.
he had an interview with Mr.. Smith
at the county Jail and promised him

Canon City. That might have been
some consolation for Mr.. Smith-bu,

SAVE THE PEACHES.
Whitewash Will be Found to Retard
the Swelling of Buds.

With the hope that it may prove of
value to the fruit growers of the Ar
kansas Valley the Enterprise repro
duces the following from the Indian
apolis News:
The warm days of late February
and carly March often cause the buds
peach trees to swell: and they are
killed by low temperatures. 1t has
been demonstrated by careful expert
ment with thermometers covered with
purple and white cloths that the for
mer registered from ten to twenty
degrees higher than those covered
with white This demonstrates the
reason why the peach buds start to
swell with the first warm days. II is
the suns heat that they absorb To
avoid this. whitewash the trees. They
will need two sprayings to cover
them thoroughly. Ordinary white
wash will not remain on the trees
any length of time. but bv using one
part of skim milk to four parts Of
water in the wash. and then adding a
pound of salt to each bucketfui be-
fore spraying It can be made to stick
for several weeks"
