Killing DandelionS

Since the introduction of chemical
sprays for the destruction of weeds,
the problem of keeping the lawn free
from weeds is becoming an easy one.
1t is no longer necessary to dig up
these weeds by the roots; they can be
destroyed quite as effectively and
much more economically by spraying
with iron sulphate. The spray is
made by dissolving 1.25 pounds of
iron sulphate per gallon of water. 1t
should be applied in the form of
fine mist by the use Of an ordinary
spray nozzle TO which pressure can be
applied. Three thorough sprayings
season, or at most four, will destroy
every dandelion on the lawn. The
first spray should be applied early in
the spring before the dandelions come
into bloom, or as soon thereafter as
possible. The second spraying should
be given two or three weeks after the
first, and the third two or three weeks
after the second. Iron sulphate does
not injure grass, although it is inuri-
Gus to clover, consequently it is not
well adapted for lawn containing
large percentage of the latter. The
spray should be applied forcibly to the
lawn so as to insure wetting every bit
Of the foliage of the dandelions.
Merely sprinkling with an ordinary
garden sprinkler is not sufficient A
regular spraying outfit must be en-
ployed. Where large field sprayer
is at hand it is "a practical proposition
to spray on a large scale as in pas
ture. With such a spray person
can cover 40 acres in a day and the
cost of the iron sulphate is but normal.

The Bales-Jones Sale

sale are completed and the biggest
pubic auction ever held in this section
OF the country will begin Monday
morning.; the sale has been thoroughly
advertised and the indications are
That between two and three thousand
people will be on the ground when
auctioneer Ralph makes his opening.
Hundreds of people from all parts of
the Prairie and from the outside who
have no intention of bidding will be
on hand to witness the big event, but
there will be buyers in plenty and
there is no donbt that the bidding will
be fast and furious.
Mr. l. &. Hattabaugh, one of the
most thoroughly posted men in the
Northwest on land and crop conditions
has been induced to make an address
on the opening day of the sale, cover
ing the resources of Idaho county
past, present and future Mr.. Hatta-
baughs vast experience and extern
slve knowledge of the needs and pos
sibilities of Idaho county will make
this matter of great interest, espec-
tally to the people from the outside.
The prospects are that good prices
will be realized on the land; the recent
rise in prices in the Palouse country
on account of the DeYoung sale at
Thornton has opened the ewes of the
people to the fact that land has been
steadily increasing in value for the
past two years. DeYoung offered his
thousand acres last year at $50 per
acre; last month he sold them at an
average Of $S4 per acre, the bulk of
the land being bought by local people.
The highest price reached was $101. so
per acre on a tract of 319 acres. One
tract, according to a recent Associated
Press report, was sold within two weeks
for an advance of 81. so per acre, and
since that time it has again been
transferred with consideration $500
per acre higher still.

The Grangeville brass band, re-
organized and thoroughly rehearsed
will give series of concerts through

Auctioneer Ralph is highly pleased
with the way things are looking, ano
is enthusiastic over the prospects of al
immensely successful sale; he states
that in his ten day trip through the
Palouse country he found that this
sale was the one big topic on conver
sation, and that holders of real estat,
and farm lands had taken their lane
off the market until after the Bales
Johes auction.
The Holt Manufacturing Company
has written Bales IL Jones stating
that reports from their travelling mel
in all parts of the country indicate
that the interest in the big sale i
widespread, and, incidentally, tha
many people are becoming familia

who never heard the names before.

sunday School Convention

The tenth annual convention Of the
Idaho County Sunday School Associa-
.;0n is matter of history. What is
considered the most successful conven-
ion the association ever held came to
close Sunday night at the LO.O.F.
hall The sessions began Friday after
noon at the court house with good
attendance of delegates and citizens
from every part Of the county. The
nrocram was unusually interesting
and instructive, and full of practical
.ucoestions for more efficient work in
tbe Sunday school. Reports from
depar tment saperintendents, and the
various schools of the county show a
decided growth along all lines, three
schools reaching the ''Star' standard,
and receiving penants Of recognition
from the Association. These were
the Baptist, Presbyterian and Chris
tian schools of Grangeville.
Specialist I. J. Bolitho of Spokane,
was the chief speaker and general
fayorite of the Convention. He APP
peared several times on the program
and was received each time with en-
thusiasm. He demonstrated his abil-
itv as great Sunday school leader by
the manner in which he conducted the
"Model Sunday School Hour" at 10
a. IN. Sunday morning. The schools
of the city met at their respective
churches and marched in body to
the hall, where 3O6 in all, they were
quickly organized into classes, and
shown the manner in which a school
should be carried on. The Ladies
Adult Class taught by Mr.. Morgan
had membership of 10.
The convention was favored with
musical selection by Mrs. Hattabaugh,
Mrs. Overman, Mrs. New, Miss Kelley
and the Misses Evans. All these
numbers were heartily received by
all.
The record shows the total number
of official delegates present to be SO,
which is considerable increase over
last year.
Much Of the credit for the success
of the convention and of the years
work is due Pres. A. G. Saxton, who
by his untireing efforts and devotion
to the work has made these things
possible. The officers for the ensuing
year were elected as follows:
President, A. c. Saxton; Secretary
and Treasurer, d. Lloyd Morgan;
Department officers: teacher training,
Rev A. Litherland; adult work, Geo.
NJ Reed; cradle roll, Mrs. Carrie
Ballard; intermediate, Mrs. E. f.
sohm; missions, Prof. H. Cobbs;
home department., Mrs. A. b. Graham;
temperance, l.. G. Chadwick; vista
ton, Mrs. T. M. Atwood.
The officers Of the convention wish
to express their thanks to the citizens
Of Grangeville for help they have
given in entertaining and making
possible this convention.
The next meeting place of the
convention will be Sites, and the time
June 10, II, and II, 1911.
Any persons holding accounts
against the convention, please present
them to ID. Lloyd Morgan for settle
ment.

the local option law by the appeal to
be taken by Mr.. Tamblyn. 1t is
charged that County Attorney Gil
more had this in mind in preparing
the complaints as it is believed the
law can be defeated in Idaho county
if brought to a fair test.
Yesterday the court gave the defen-
dant fine of $500 and costs and i'm
mediately a notice of appeal to the
district court was filed and bond pro-
vided. Shortly after stepping from
the courtroom the defendant was
again placed under arrest charged
with selling liquor on June IL to the
detectives and the trial was held this
morning before the Justice Chadwick
who found him guilty and assessed
fine of $500 and costs. This case was
also appealed to the district court.

and Abney and Stevenson appeared to
be the ones on trial instead Of those
indicted. One attorney had referred
to the Southern railway counsel, ask
ing why he appeared in this case;
then again he referred to Mr.. Steven
sons fees il this litigation. Attorney
Madison P. Howell, of Walterboro,
and John NJ. Wise, of Chester, asked
the question why these cases were not
tried in Rich7and instead Of Chester?
This was frankly answered by the
attorney general, who said:
Attorney Generals Reason.
"a jury in Richland county ruth
lessly, wantonly, impudently and
without shame, in spite of the evil
dence and the law, acquitted Jim
Farnum. I thought I had a good
chance to get a just verdict in Ches-
ter county, that's why I brought this
case here.'
Attorney Arthur L. Castor seemed
to think that the attorney general and
his associates had some "diabolical
scheme, pursuing John Black with re-
lentless fury" He also asked if the
courts of justice were going to be U.s.
ed to carry out the campaign promises
of Mr.. Lyon. Mr.. Castor spoke Of c.
". Dudley as moral and physical
1eper," and of ". D. Roy as stealing
the livery Of Heaven to serve the de-
vii"
Attorney W. F. Stevenson made
what has been commented upon as
probably the most powerful address
heard in the court house here in
years. Sharp, keen, incisive, crowd
ing world Of facts into small COM
pass and marshalling them with
wonderful generalship, adIhering to
the issue and pitilessly exposing
the guilty, as he saw it, CT the three
defendants.
Blacks Stock Business.
Considerable merriment was occa-
stoned when Mr.. Stevenson ridiculed
the idea OF Blacks being engaged III
the stock business in WATERFORD. It
was in Columbia, he declared, that
John Black did his stock business; it
was in the capital city that he had
his collection Of trotters and PAGERS,
and it was there that he did all his
driving. Jodie Rawlinson might have
been allowed to handle one or two OF
the gentlest, in the outfit, but his
spanking team of Kentucky trotters,
Dudley and Roy, were for his own ex-
elusive use, except as he chose to turn
them over to Joe Wylie, who is big and
rawboned and possessed Of more MUS
Gle than Rawlinson, said Mr.. Steven
son.
The "big, bald face stallion, Henry
Samuels," was another Of his
"string" that only he and Wylie used.
When they had any need for "stock"
gentle little pony was trotted
out for his benefit, and not the high
stepDers already spoken of, or the
"pink faced PAGER, Farnum," he said !
Mr.. Stevenson added, "but when set
tlement was to be made by any Of
them, it was in the captains odc2, in
Columbia, that they had to come, not

Defense's Plea.

The basic plea of the defence ap-
peared to be that Wylie, the "arch
conspirator," together with Farnum,
Early and Goodman, had been allowed
to go free, therefore, these other men
should not be punished. "Why single
out poor little Solomons, the only
South Carolina whiskey drummer in
the bunch?" was key note appeal.
The defence admitted the guilt Of Wy
lie, "guilty as hell" they said. Then
why let him Off" Attorney Welch
also argued that, although the &C
ceptance OF rebates might be unlaW-
full, such charge was not preferred
il the Indictment; that these defend
ants were charged with "a conspiracy
TO def"aud the State,' and this had not
been proved.
The arguments Of Attorneys Abney,
Lyon and Stevenson tended to show
that there was "an agreement" the
adoption and acceptance of a rebate
schedule; proving such, that the State
was defrauded in that the rebates
were not turned into the State treas
ury, but into the pockets of the board
members; hence the fraud, pursuant
to the agreement. confedera ton or
conspiracy.
Politics, apparently. played some
