Jack Diedrick Killed

j. ID. Diedrick, for IA years marshal

shot and killed at Northport Thursday
evening by Martin Klose, who after.

Diedrick had been called to the Klose
home by report of disturbance. When
he arrived he was refused admittance.
Starting to force the door he was shot in
the shoulder, and again in the stomach,
the bullets coming through the closed
door.
When the citizens heard of the occur
renee a posse was formed and went to
the Klose home. Klose saw them COM
ing and turned his gun upon:himself.
Diedrick was 43 years of age, native
of Minnesota, and resident of Wash

throughout Northeastern Washington as
good official, perfectly fearless in dis
charging his duties. He has been one
OF Sheriff Graham's most trusted depu-

Town Improvement Notices.

toWn Improvement NOTICES.
There is common sense in spending
your money in the community where
you live.
The best method in which a town
can pave its way to success is to pave
its streets and improve the highways
leading therefrom.
The women Of many small towns
have formed local floral association
and are introducing plant and flower
culture into many homes
A number of town officials are CO.
operating with the citizens Of the town
in the planting Of shade trees on all
the leading streets Of villages.
It is the poorest. sort OF economy to
have bad sidewalks. There are many
cases on record where the amount paid
as the result Of accidents amounted to
more than enough to put the walks in
good shape. Any town can well afford
to bond itself for sidewalk repairs.

Plant Misers.

All leaf buds, whether underground
or on the bare branches Of winter, are
plant savings put aside from the su-
perduity Of summer against the pro-
verbal rainy day. The starch OF
which such organisms consist is to the
plant what his savings are to the pru-
dent man, and the common potato is
one Of the greatest misers of the vege-
table world in this respect. for almost
the whole Of the tuber is made up Of
starch food left as a legacy to the
young plants represented by. the
"eyes." This is true of all plants that
grow from bulbs.
Some go further. for they run sla saw
ings bank in the shape of taproot,
which, il left undisturbed, grows lar
ger year by year, to be drawn upon in
seasons Of drought when other means
Of subsistence are exhausted. Among
these are primroses, carrots. beetroot
and turnips, and with these three last
this faculty Of saving has beenadevel-
oped by man to make the plants a
source of profit to himself.

will beat the record the coming season
Last season the tree produced so boxes

Apples are getting scarce in the valley
and many orders are turned down as
there are not enough apples in STORAGE

apples exceeds that of any previous wear
in the history of the valley. and will
probably be the maximum for soma

Those That Carry Only Diversified
Lines In Stock.
An editorial article in the Agricultur-
al Southwest, which upholds the gen
eral store in the smaller cities and
towns as against the specialized bust
ness, contains hint for those who
| would compete successfully with the
big mail order store that carry every
| thing. from a hairpin to a portable
house The editor writes
One Of our eastern exchanges de-
votes whole column of his valued
paper to an article on the mistake
that the present day merchant is max
ing in running general store.
This article endeavors to show that
the old rule of mo two things can be
done at the same time and done
right" Using this old rule in bearing
out his argument that where any mer-
chant tries to handle multiplicity of
lines he cannot make q success Of any
one, we do. not in the least doubt the
sincerity Of his belief. At one time in
the not distant past we were OF the
same opinion. until we had our ideas
changed by first hand knowledge.
The most successful merchants Of
the southwest, with the best conducted
stores, bringing to their owners the
greatest margin Of profit, are those
| who have diversified lines. In fact.
the merchant who sells everything,
from needle to traction engine, is
the one who broadens. and when the
call OF the big town reaches him he is
qualified to go into the fight against
his longer established competitor and
get share of that business which his
all around knowledge has taught him
how to talk about and handle.

There is plant in Holland known
as the evening primrose, which grows
to a height Of five or six feet and
bears profusion Of large yellow flow
ers SO brilliant that they attract i'm
mediate attention, even at a great dis

the plant is the fact that the flowers
which open just before sunset, burst
into bloom so suddenly that they give

A Bar to Towns Progress.

In far too many towns the streets
are neglected and remain perpetual
menace to public health. No commu-
nifty that wishes to grow and prosper
should neglect its streets. Money ju-
diciously spent in this work under the
supervision Of a competent engineer
is safe and sure investment that will
be returned with compound interest.
In almost every town there is room
for improvement in this direction, and
each business man and householder
owes it to himself and his neighbor to
help along this necessary work.

As a result Of speculation. land

was unstable ten or twelve years ago
at 81 an acre is now commanding $40

gone from $50 and 500 an acre to
5000 and $3.50. Fruit lands are com.
manding as high as $4,000 and $4,000
an acre. The direct effect of land
speculation and inflated values OF land
is emigration. This has assumed Sc.
rious proportions In the Northwest.
Pioneers and settlers Of Ave and ten
years ago have been driven across the
border into Canada to land still rea.
sonable in price and soil virgin in

OF all the tributes to the genius OF

touching was that paid to him by

At a meeting of savants In Paris many
years ago Lord Lister was present.
and his brilliant achievements were
explained to the audience by Pasteur.
As he progressed In bis speech he
became mere and more emotional. and
at last he was so carried away by
his own eloquence that the tears
stood In his eyes. Finally he stepped
down from the platform. took Lord
Lister. who was In the front row OF
