Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Daley, 1917
Warren street, was severely injured
by being dragged a half block by a
runaway horse which he was driving.
The horse dashed along Marquette
street from Ninth street to Sixth

the animal, and after it had run about
two and half blocks, the buggy was
overturned. Willie Daley was thrown
out onto the pavement but bravely
hung on to the lines in his endeavor to
stop the animal A pedestrian stopped
the runaway at Sixth street and Willie
was picked up. Medical assistance was
called and it was found that he had
sustained a broken collar bone, a
badly lacerated right leg and other
minor bruises. He was removed to
the home of his parents and it is
thought that he will recover soon.

Germany has solved this problem by
cooperative loan associations which in
clude all the farmers in a community,
and the entire assets of the community
are pledged TO the company as secur-
ity. On this security the company
borrows large sums of money at very
low rates of interest. This money is
used to purchase land for members
upon approval of the board Of di-
reetorS. The farmer who borrows
money from the association pays it
back in easy payments extending over
period of forty years or so. He is
charged a quarter of a cent more in
terest than the association pays. This
quarter of a cent is used to pay ex-
penses and to provide a sinking fund
TO cover losses. 1t has always been
amply sufficient for these purposes.
Under this plan the farmers can buy

amount to little more than the rent

$4,000 Damage.

A fire which destroyed four build
ings and did damage to the extent
of $4,000, occurred in Charleston

is believed to have been the work
of incendiaries, there being no source
of flame in the immediate vicinity.
A barber shop and the office of the
Charleston Republic were burned and
only the timely arrival of the Lewis
ton fire department prevented the
blaze from wiping out a large por-
ton of the town.

cut off and the telephone company
suffered over $1,000 damages.
Only part of the burned property

Dry Farming Congress VIII Benefit
This Section.

w. G. Brandenburg, representing
the Washington Board of Control of
the Dry Farming Congress which is
to meet in Spokane the first week
of October, was in Pullman Thurs
day and is enthusiastic relative to
the movement and the benefits that
will accrue to the counties of the
Inland Empire.
Gov. Hay expressed it correctly
the other day when he said that if
our people fully appreciated the
great Importance of this gathering
and attended in large numbers and
returned to their farms to apply the
methods they heard discussed it
would undoubtedly mean that with
in a very few years our farmers
would be producing much larger
crops than they had ever thought
possible and would be enjoying
greater prosperity than any farmers
in any part of the whole country.
q might say that our work has
for its object, first, last and all the
time greater crop production on the
non-irrigated lands and a study of
the problems that will best enable
the farmer to do this year after year,
and by better means of tillage con-
sumo the moisture SO that the crops
will not suffer during droughty
periods Farmers all through Whit
man county have been telling me
that where they are employing me-
thods of better cultivation the re-
suits are most gratifying in produc-
ing better yields.
I've want large delegation
from all parts of this county and
we want you to have an attractive
exhibit as we'll For this reason we
are asking the support of the com
missioners in the various counties
for appropriations for displaying ex-
penses of same and for the general
expenses of the congress and expo
sition.
All the counties so far visited are
gladly cooperating, realizing the
great opportunity and benefits it
will be to eastern Washington"
