MOTIFS BOOMING,

Visitors in the city from Mott state
that the crops in that vicinity are ex'
cellent and wheat runs from twenty
to thirty-f1ve bushels to the acre, with
oats as high as sixty bushels. The
grades OF the Milwaukee and North
ern Pacific are within two miles Of
Mott and it is the hope of the town
that the lines will soon enter. The
section is very prosperous and the
town is a great trading place tor the
surrounding country. Two banks are
in operation with third building a
home. Two lodging houses of two
stories each furnish accommodations
to the travelling public. The town
has five flowing artesian wells and
yet the population does not exceed
$50, though on busy days it appears
to have over 500, so many farmers
are transacting business in the town.

How Tobacco Got It's Name.

The origin of the word tobacco is
not definitely settled. Oviedo, one OF
the early Spanish chroniclers, says It
was named after Y shaped instru-
ment which was commonly used as a
snufnng tube. The two prongs were
placed in the nose. and fumes Of the
powdered leaf were inhaled. This was
called "tobaco," which was the name
given to the plant. On the contrary,
one of the islands Of the West Indies
is said to have furnished the name.
It is asserted that tobacco was first
taken into Spain in 1858 by Fernan-
dez, a physician. who had been sent
by Philip II. Of Spain to investigate
the products Of Mexico. 1t next
reached Portugal. was soon introduced
into France by the French ambassa-
dor, Jean Nicot, and sent to the Portu-
guese court In 1859. When he. re-
turned to his home he presented some
Of the seed and leaves to Queen Cath
crime de- Medici, and the scientific
name Of the plant was thereafter des-
ignated as nicotine" in his honor.

YIELD NOT so LARGE

]. J. Latta, who represents the Rus
sell-Miller Milling company, and who
is on the road visiting all parts of
the state, says that the wheat crop of
the state is very much reduced from
the early estimates by from 20 to 40
per cent. In many places the yield
is running from 10 to IL bushels,
where it was anticipated early in the
season that there would be a yield
much greater. The excessive hot and
wet weather is responsible for the
largely reduced yield. 1t is RESPONSE.
bic for the large amount of low. grade
wheat, all of which entails greater
expense in milling and handling.

IS AFTER CONTRACT
W. E. Tough Wants to Act as
Tax Ferret for the Coun-
ty of Wayne.
TO APPEAR BEFORE BOARD

w. E. Lough of Indianapolis. a tax
ferret. will meet with the county COM
missioners and county council at the
joint session Of these two bodies to-
morrow and endeavor to make a con-
tract for the ''disinterment" of covered
up and unpaid taxes in this county.
He was in the city today and asked the
privilege OF presenting his proposition
at the joint session of the commission
ers and council, tomorrow.
The terms Of his proposed contract
are not known to the county commits
sioners. However. as it is an absolute
necessity that one of the three things
be done, it is probable that ferret
will be employed c. E. Wiley, pres:-
dent of the county commissioners said
that the three things which might be
done in order to raise revenue were
first to employ tax ferret: second. to
increase the tax rate: and third for the
appropriations for next year be cut
down. The coanty council and COM
missioners are opposed to raising the
tax rate. The commissioners are also
unable to cut their list of estimated
appropriations for the coming year any
closer.
Mr.. Tough, who was until recently,
an assistant to w. F. Charters, a tax
ferret. who formerly held contract
with the county. says that he has
found large amount Of covered-up
taxes in this county. He says that he
can greatly benefit the county by
bringing this tax into the county treas
ury. It is probable that he will make
a contract On the basis that thirty per
cent of the taxes paid into the county
as result of his efforts. be paid over
to him. Before any contract is made
with tax ferret. the county council
will have to make an appropriation for
this purpose.
