Well Known Relay Riders.

Who may capture the 81, 900 purse
offered for the Interstate Relay Race
at the Spokane Fair this year, Septem-
Der 20 to IS, is going to be a matter
for conjecture. There are many
good riders of established fame as re-
lay contestants entered this year.
Among them are Dell Blancet, OF
Endicott, Wash, Ernest Williams OF
Rockford, Wash, Jos. T. Seltice OF
DeSmet, Idaho, Joe Garrick and An
drew St. John of Rockford, Wash.

The local cream station is now of
fering 35l2 cents pound for butter
fat, the highest price that has been
offered here since the station was es-
tablished. AT such prices as this the
successful farmer cannot afford to be
without good bunch of milk cows
as the monthly income from them
will more than pay the running ex-
penses of the farm, leaving the re-
ceipts from all other sources to swell
the yearly profits. Cottonwood
Chronicle.
The subject of dairying and the
construction of silos, with purpose
of supplying green feed in the way of
ensilage for both milk cows and beef
animals was up before the commercial
club last week and received able
treatment at the hands of John Nor
wood and w. HI. Casady, and it
seemed to be the consensus of opin-
ion that this country is peculiarly
adapted to dairying and this manner
of feeding, and that literature bearing
upon this subject should be secured
and freely circulated among the farm
ers, and every effort made to awaken
interest in it.

In closing an account of the Green
Creek postofice robbery last week the
Cottonwood Chronicle says:
This makes the third time the
Greencreek store has been robbed.
The first time Barney Stubers, then
storekeeper and postmaster, was held
up in his store and robbed of several
hundred dollars by a masked robber.
E. w. Drees later had a similar ex-
perience and now comes the above
robbery. 1t would seem that men
well acquainted with the store have
pulled off the job on each occasion
and SO far no clues have been left by
which the guilty party can be located.
Owing to the fact that it is post Office
money that has been taken gov
eminent detective will probably be
sent here to investigate and it is to be
hoped that the robbers will eventually
be landed in the penitentiary where
they belong"

Go. Them Turned Toward Elk.

James Murphy, of the Center Star
mine, which has been brought into
the limelight recently by exceptionally
good strikes, was here last week on
his return from Spokane to Elk City.
He went to that city on business and
while there interviewed Patsy Clark
and associates and presented the
promising outlook in that district to
their view. He says they are now
pricking up their ears considerably,
and show deep interest in the mining
news from this section. The Center
Star is on the South Fork near the
old Espy mine, over which there has
been so much litigation for owner
ship, and while new proposition,
shows 81 feet ledge that averages

Thinks it is Discrimination.
]. M. G.

Holt & Rhoades, the Salmon river
stock men, shipped nineteen carloads
of beef cattle out of Sites last Sunday
morning to the coast market, the
shipment being made from that point
because of the difference of SIS per
car between the rates over the prairie
line and the Clearwater line. This
makes the second train load of cattle
shipped from Sites this summer that
would have been shipped from Cot
tonwood except for this difference in
freight, to say nothing of smaller
shipments. This exorbitant rate
charged over the prairie line is not
just to the stock men nor to the resi-
dents of our city, who lose business
every time shipment is made over
the river line which should come
here. 1t is a condition which our
business men should do their best to
change and the matter should be
taken up with the traffic department
of the railroad in forcible manner at
once. We have already lost too
much because of this discrimination in
rates to let the matter rest as it is
much longer. Let some concerted
action be taken at once. Cotton
wood Chronicle.
This discrimination in rates applies
to Grangeville equally with Cotton
wood, and has ranked sorely in the
anatomy of our stock shippers. 1t is
not unreasonable to presume, how

ever, that the rate will be reduced to
that of Sites, should joint operation
of this line ever become a fixed fact,
for the o. R. s. NJ, would not then
stand for the N. P. Clearwater line
to take the business from this line as
it now does.

Election Expenses.
September IS, 1909.


Clerk Board of Co. Comm RS.
My Dear Sir: On account of the
enormous expense that attends our
elections, | have seen fit to examine
into the authorities for the purpose OF
seeing if the expense of our elections
cannot be reduced, and | have seen
fit to question the amount that is gen.
orally paid to Judges and Clerks OF
election, and submit to you my reas-
ons for the same: / believe that at
general elections, Judges and Clerks
have been allowed two days pay with
out question, when but one day was
actually served, which has necessar-
lily doubled the expense of Clerks
and Judges of election.
Section $40 of the Code provides
that it is the duty of the Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners to
make out his certificate, stating therein
the compensation to which Judges
and Clerks of election are entitled for
their services, and that that compen-
sation shall be 81. 90 per day, and for
constables on duty at polling places,
$500 per day.
What constitutes day? The an
swer to this question is somewhat UNI
certain for the reason that the statute
does not fix the number of hours per
day that officers of an election shall
serve.
Section 1461 states that eight hours
actual work shall constitute lawful
day for all state county and munich
pal works, and excerpts all labor ex-
cept manual labor; therefore, a
day may be any number of hours be-
tween the hour of IL midnight, and
the same hour the following night.
Witnesses and jurors are allowed
but one days services although they
may serve the full "a hours. Jury
men are not allowed an additional
day unless they serve past the hour
OF midnight. Elections are held in
one day. The beginning of that day
is 3 O'Clock in the morning, and |
can construe the authorities in no
other light than that that day shall ex-
tend to the hour of midnight follow
ing, and unless Clerk or Judge of
election serves from the period of 8
O. clock in the morning until after the
midnight following, he or she is
entitled to but one days pay, viz:
the sum of 81. 90.
Respectfully submitted,
j. M. Gilmore,
Prosecuting Attorney.
P. S. There are three judges, three
clerks, and one constable who served
at the special election just held, saw
ing to Idaho county for such election
should be S27. 90 for each precinct,
making the total saving in the forty
four precincts S1188. 90. This is a
small matter to the individual election
official but of very much importance
to Idaho county.

MINING INFORMATION

Spokane, April 22.-George II. Jen-
nings, field manager of the Jennings
Dredging company, operating in the
Elk City district in northern Idaho,
announces that a dredge of 5000 Gu
bic yards capacity will be installed on
the placer grounds, where j. c. Jen-
nings, president of the company, has
expended $4,000 prospecting the prop
erty The new machine will cut So
feet under water, thus having 40 per
cent greater working strength than
under ordinary circumstances. The
dredge will be 100 feet in length, 90
feet wide and six feet deep. The line
will consist of 81 four-foot manganese
steel tip buckets, which will give d
nominal digging capacity of from $50
to $50 cubic yards an hour. The
dredge will be operated and lighted
by electric power. The approximate
weight of all machinery is estimated
at $4,000 pounds. Between 80 and 100
days will be required to have the
dredge in operation after the timbers
for the hull are sawed. President
Jennings will visit Elk City early in
May. He has had wide experience
having placer mined in the early Cal
ifornia excitement, also operating in
Oregon, Arizona, Mexico, and British
Columbia.

TRAVELLING To RANCH

WHEAT KING" is FASTENING
TO NEW MEXICO, BUT WILL

Trinidad, Col, April 22.-James A.

serted the battle in the wheat pit to
inspect for himself the wheat situa-
ton in the central west, arrived in
Trinidad this morning and left short
ly afterward for Tercio, Col, lit

H. Bartlett near Vermejo, N. M.
The trip will not be a pleasant one
either, for a binding snoWstorm is
prevailing today and % miles of the
ride must be made over the noun

WATCHMAN AT PENNSYLVANIA
PRISON THWARTS EFFORT
TO RELEASE BOYLE.

Mercer, Pa, April 22.-An attempt
to liberate James II. Boyle from the
Mercer county Jail was made last
night, according to Jail officials. The
effort failed because of the vigilance of
Night Waterman Robert Fruit, who
discovered a ladder resting against
the Jail wall, directly under Boyle's
cell window. 1t was apparently the
intention to saw the bars from the
outside and release the prisoner.
That prompt disposition will be
made of the cases against Boyle and
his wife is the opinion here. Evidence
will be presented tomorrow to the
grand jury and indictments are ex-
pected against both the Boyles 1t
is expected that the trial of Boyle will
be commenced Monday and be fol-
lowed quickly by that of his wife.
Mrs. Boyle is anxious that her
identity and career shall not be
brought out at the trial, but 7. c.

productive by dry farming methods
and prospective settlers who intend to
register for the drawing are inquiring
of the dry farming congress about the
methods of intelligent tillage which
have proved successful in other parts
of Montana.
Dry Farming
many parts of the reservation
so-called dry farming has been sue
cessful. H. A. Dawson, government
farmer stationed at Roman. tells of
profitable crops of wheat, oats and
barley raised in that vicinity. Joe
Hool, near Roman, last year harvest
ed 33.40 bushels an acre of fall wheat
He also raised oats with success on
raw sod. He has been farming there
for II or Is years and finds fall plow-
ing most profitable. This year he is
discing the stubble. The Jesuit Mis-
sionary fathers, who established a
| mission a few miles from the present
site of Ravalli, in 1854, 10 years before
any white settlers or gold hunters in
vaded this portion of the country,
have reaped large harvestS, some of
| their best grains being raised without
| irrigation. T. l.. Bateman, proprietor
of the Ravalli hotel and formerly a
stage driver across the reservation, is
| raising apples that compare favorably
| with those of any fruit district in the
country His large orchard is not ir-
rigated In the Flathead valley the
| highest reported yield of wheat was
| 1876 bushels an acre, Alfalfa yields
| two to three cuttings each season
This without irrigation. In the reser-
| walton, which is a continuation of the
Flathead valley, it is not doubted that
| equally good results will be obtained
| with scientific cultivation and seed
selection.
| Throughout the valleys of the reser-
| walton and extending we'll up the foot
| hills, the soil is a black sandy loan
uniformly free from alkali and other
deleterious substances. Where cult
waited by ordinary methods it has
| shown marvellous fertility anc
| strength. On the bench lands between
the streams thes oil is more sandy ant
lighter, but unusually fertile
The rainfall is reported about II
inches, distributed through the year il
most beneficial ratio, the major por
ton in May and June, when mos
needed by growing crops.
1t will be seen from these condition!
that all of the physical elements fo
successful farming without irrigation
are found in the Flathead reservation
and it is predicted that this will be
come one of the famous dry farmint
sections of Montana.
This spring many of the Indians arr
breaking ground for crops on the land
allotted to them. The first steam pillow
has just been put in operation nea
Roman. The homeseekers who ente
the reservation when it is opened t.
settlement will see substantial evidence
of the fertility of the sort and demon
strative of the fact that irrigation j

1t is expected that samples of tn
non-irrigated products from the res
ervation will be exhibited at the eX
