but failed to return it at the promised
time, informing Mr.. Reeves by phone
that he had been delayed in his work.
Two weeks passed without hearing
from him and Mr.. Reeves began to
get suspicious that something was
wrong and warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of Ayers. He was not
located for three or four days after
the warrant was issued when it was
accidently discovered through Mr..

with what they saw, both in the mat
ter of road construction and in the
mountain scenery. Mr.. Hutchison
said that he had never seen anything
like it in Colorado and promised to
help advertise the new road to the top
of the Royal Gorge among tourists in
Colorado Springs, as one Of the big
attractions OF the state. Mr.. Banta.
chairman OF the board, was no less en-
thusiastic than Mr.. Hutchison and ex-
pressed surprise that a road had not
been built there long ago. He gave 1t
as his opinion that hundreds OF auto
mobilists from Colorado Springs and
Denver would make the trip to the
top of the Royal Gorge when the mag
nificance Of the scene which It unfold
ed was made known to them. Mr..
Madden, like his assicates, was loud
in his praise OF the ROAD and commend
ed the convfcts for the excellent char
acter of its construction. To the Wis

an unexpected revelation OF beauty
and its memory will be long retained.

GETTING A STAND
OF POTATOES
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Tbs is the time for the potato grow
er TO observe what sort of stand he
has secured, to take stock, as 1t were,
OF his success in his work, to the
point in the Season.
In the first place. moisture is neces-
sary. A potato may sprout. but will
not root unless it touches damp soil.
and if the season and atmosphere be
very dry, growth will be backward,
even with moisture beneath. The po-
tato ground should have been filled
with moisture before plowing, and the
moisture held there by stirring the
surface shallow, as with harrow. If,
however the moisture be not there. the
potatoes must be cultivated, ditched
and irrigated, and then narrowed
lengthwise, as soon as horses can be
used.
A heavy rain following the plant
ing is great damage, because it sets
the soil of the tuber bed and will dam
age the shape of the crop. Prolong-
ed rains will rot the seed. The best
stands are secured on fields that were
ployed in good condition, lightly har-
rowed, quickly planted, and that then
happen to secure one long, gentle

To Report Murder Trial.

George Begg leaves this evening
for Ephrata, where he will report
the trial in the murder case in which
hobo was arrested, charged with
the murder of a young boy on Sat
urday.
The authorities believe they have
arrested the man who may be the
murderer of the boy found near Will
son Creek last Saturday afternoon
with his head cut open from blows of
a railroad spike. The man arrested
arrived at railway camp between
Stratford and Adrian Sunday and
told of seeing a dead man lying by
the track near Wilson Creek The
deputy sheriff brought the man to
Wilson Greek, where several people
testified that he had bee nseen in the
company of the dead boy here last
Friday. The man denies this, says
that he knew the dead boy, but had
seen hi mlast in Spokane The sus-
pected man was taken to Ephrata

ing will be had tomorrow.

nomination in the primaries Tuesday
was the only member of the Mime
sofa delegation who voted for the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. President
Taft took occasion to heartily COM
mend the congressman in his fam
Gus Winona speech, which he made
on his tour throughout the west last
summer. but the presidential en-
dorsement did not deter the voters
of Minnesota from repudiating the
defender of Cannonism and Aldrich-
ism.
The defeat of Mr.. Tawney, coupled
with the success of progressive re-
publicanism throughout the west in
dicates that President Taft greatly
underestimate the opposition 10 the
Payne-Aldrich tariff measure. Had
he not at about the same time he
made his Winona speech committed
himself so strongly on Ballingerism,
he would have saved his administra
ton from continued embarrassment
and the growth of the progressive
republican movement would not have
been given such an impetus.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who
voted against the Aldrich tariff law
will find his chances of reelection en-
HANGED by the defeat of Mr. Tawney.
1t looked for a time as if the bril-
liant senator from Indiana might
meet defeat by reason of disapproval
of his course by the administration
leaders, but events in the last few
weeks have greatly strengthened his
prospects for reelection.
The wides bread opposition to the
recent tariff bill as disclosed in the
primary elections will operate to
strengthen the idea of scientific tar
if revision by a commission of ex-
perts.
