and j. w. Thompson. Republican, which
came up in the district court yesterday.
was decided in favor OF j. w. Thompson.
The trouble arose in the sixth voting dis

last city election When the unofficial
returns came In they showed that M.
j. MCGII had received majority OF nine
votes. but on the official canvass j..

which showed q discrepancy OF ten votes

MISTAKE IN SPRAYING

A number of dead apple trees in
the orchard of w. L. Hawley near
Snake river bridge received the at
tention of Horticultural Inspector w.
T. Hawkey few days ago, and after
careful inspection he reported that
the death of the trees had been
caused by leaving the cloth bands on
the trunks while the trees were spray
ed They held so much of the poison
that 1t scalded the bark.
Bands placed on the trees for the
insects to hide under, should be TAX
en- off and burned before the spraying
season begins, as this is only intend
ed as trap in which to catch them.
Leaving the bands on until the season
of their lying dormant is over only
accommodates the pests and the
bands soaking up the poison of the
spray killed some of the trees in the
case mentioned.

FIRST WHEAT OF THE SEASON.

| rIItol WHEhI OF IhE SEASON.
Bond Bros. G Company received
from Arthur johnson of Otis on
4 Thursday morning, their first load of
wheat Of the season, and we know
of no other grain of the new crop
coming in sooner. 1t was of the Tur-
key Red variety and sold for $3.50
per hundred pounds.
The seed was sown late last fall,
October 25, being the date it was
put In, and 1t was not watered until
the 10th of June at which time 1t
was in bloom, and was badly parch-
ed. 1t was cut the last of July and
the yield was 25 bushels per acre,
the weight per bushel being 65
pounds.
Mr.. Johnson states that all the
crops in that section that had proper
chance are heavy, and he looks for
good yield from ghboring fields
that were sown early.
The construction camps are likely
to consume most of the produce that
is harvested early, and this will be
a great help to the settlers. Mr..
Johnson reports that he has been sell
ing his potatoes at from five to three
cents a pound, and they are still in
good demand at three cents.
