to file homestead OH 100 acres of
land north of his place near Green

an allotment for several years by a

only recently that the land Office

evening from his trip to Spokane.
Owing to the wash-outs on the
Palouse line we were forced to go
by boat to Riparia and thence by
way of Pasco to Spokane, arriving
there the day after our father was
buried. We returned over the
Palouse line and passed through
much of the. territory where the
recent high water did SO much
damage, arriving in Lewiston on
the first train to get through, after
the tie-up. 1t will be several weeks
before the N. P! road will be plac-
ed in good shape again, while sew
eral months will pass before the o.
R. & N. road will be placed in
operation again. Practically every
wagon bridge in Whitman county
has been washed out and it is con-
servatively estimated that more
than a million dollars worth of
damage was sustained in that coun-
ty, Colfax and Pullman having
sustained the heaviest losses.

New Dust LAYER.

Vice Consul w. Washington Biuns
wick furnishes the following infOrma-
ton concerning experiments made in
CbemnitZ with German anti-dust
sprinkler:
During the last summer extensive
experiments were made with anti
staubit' to prevent dusty roads in
Chemnitz. The material was bought
by the city from potash works at
Aschersleben and cost $26.lS per met
ric ton of 22.0i6 pounds The anti
staubit is sprinkled over the road by
means of the ordinary street sprinkling
cart. After carefully cleaning the
street and mOistening the material
with water it is thus strewn when
first applied. and for each square me-
ter about one kilo CD pounds per 1913
square feet is required. All subse-
quent sprinkling is done with n solu-
ton of 30 per cent water. According
to the experience of the Chemnitz
street cleaning department. the dust
preventing effect Of anti-staubit lasted
from twelve to twenty-four days. ac-
cording to the amount of traffic and
the general condition Of the streets.

PAID IN PELTS.
When Tennessee Was Known as the
State Of Franklin.

When Tennessee Was Known as the
State of Franklin.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennessee
was Franklin or that in 1888 the sal
aries of the officers Of the common
wealth were paid in pelts. but the fol
lowing is a correct copy OF the law:
BE it enacted by the state OF Frank
lin. and it is hereby enacted by author
ity OF the same. that from and after the
list day of January, 17SS. the salaries
of this common wealth be as follows
to wit:
His excellency the governor per
annum. 100 deerskins.
His honor the chief justice. 500
deerskins.
The secretary TO his exceliency the
governor. 200 raccoOn skins.
County clerk. 800 beaver skins.
CLERK Of the house OF commons, 200
raccoen skins.
Justices fee for serving q warrant.
one minkskin."
At that time the state OF Franklin
extended to the east bank OF the Mis-
sissippi river. and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then terra in
cognit2. save a few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. 1t was known as the district
of Louisiana and in 1905 was made the
territory Of Louisiana.
The state OF Franklin. which became
Tennessee in 1796. was almost as lit
tie known. The now great city of
Memphis was a mere trading post and
was not laid out as a village until
1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distribute
ed for purposes of currency and bar

THE cOCOANUT TREE.
II Has an irresistible Craving For Salt
Water.

I'm the tropics. where the cocoanut
is wanted for planting. The uuts are
picked up when they fall from the
tree where they have hung for about
fourteen months i'm ripening. 1t is
fact not generally known" says the
Bakers Weekly. that majority Of
the nuts drop at night. which prob
ably accounts for the small loss OF life
by cocoanuts falling upon the heads
OF the natives.
The actioB OF the heavy dew at
night foosenS the seal with which ma
ture has provided the nut and allows
It to fall. The nuts wanted for plant
ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds. where they are
allowed to sprout before planting. in
order that good. healthy 'sprout nuts
may be selected. thus avoiding the
possibility OF planting blind nuts
that would not Sprout. I'm which case
much time would be lost IN starting
the 'cocoanut walks as the orchards
are called. When holes are dug about
three feet deep and twenty feet apart
the nut is carefully placed In the hole
and covered with about one foot Of
sol. The hole is filled as the sprout
grows until it reaches the surface.

further attention. Should the place
where the cocoanut is planted be any
great distance from the seaShore a
quantity OF salt is placed in the hole

but a short distance from the shore.
nearness to salt water being absolute
ly essential to its welfare.
IAN interesting story is told by a
gentleman who resided for some years
in the tropics He planted cocOanut
tree behind a board fence some dis
lance from the sea. The tree grew
perfectly straight until it reached the
top OF the fence. when II began TO
grow toward the ocean. leaning a foot
or more. Then a shed was built quite
near the fence, but several feet higher.
and the tree again grew straight until
when IT again leaned toward the sea.
forming d very curious and odd look
ing tree.
The irregular growth was wholly
attributed to the influence of the salt
air. No magnet is truer to the pole

through its husk it points directly to-
ward the sea. no matter what the po-
sition OF the nut when placed in the

A prominent physician who is an

aluable:
First go TO work: talk afterward.
Make up your mind at the start what
kind of road you are going TO build
Then when you begin work on the

II you do this much yourself you
will learn more about how to make
country roads better in two hours than
could tell you in print in fourteen
weeks Again. I repeat. go to work;
talk afterward.
The second thing is study the needs
OF the little stretch OF road upon which
you actually do your work. Make that
stretch of road a model of good road
way in every particular. See to it that
every individual who drives over your
road becomes a talking advertisement
for highway Improvement. II you
