the Rock Island Railway company the
value OF two pay checks issued TO w. A.
Bishop, an employe OF the company. one
of the checks was dated May and the
other June 1 last. One was for S54 .76 and
the other for S57.Ol. Both OF the checks
were cashed here, one by the Council
Bluffs Savings bank and the other by tho
Metcaf Clothing company. The checks
went through the usual course and finally
reached the bank upon which they were
drawn. the Illinois Trust and Savings bank
of Chicago and were paid. but when they
were presented TO the railroad company
for redemption payment was refused by
order of Bishop. who declared that he Mad
not endorsed them or had them in his pos
session, and that some unknown person
had impersonated him. He filed bond
with the company and drew the money that
was coming to him. This left the local
men losers to the fun amount OF the
checks. For the purpose OF recovering the

New War Airsh,p for Germany.

A new type of atrship will be add
ed to the German aerial fleet this
spring. The new Girigible belongs to
the non-rigid system and differs in
several important points from other
types. In shape It is similar to a
torpedo The envelope Of the balloon
Is colored yellow TO protect it as far
as possible from the action Of the
suns rays.
It's four cars are directly attached
to the framework of the balloon, 1t
will be driven by four Daimler motors,
each of 1875 horsepower. 1t is antici-
pated that the airship will be able to
carry 40 persons. The estimated
speed is 65 kilometers an hour.
A large hall is being built to shelter
the vessel. The airship has been de-
signed by Capt. Won Krage of the
aeronautic battalion. and is according
ly we'll adapated for military pur.

choice leghorns disappeared, leaving
the severed and twisted bars as the

However, his suspicious pointed
toward his next door neighbor. whom
he had seen prowling around his yard
that day, and, accordingly, he had
this suspect up in police court the
next morning.

been cut over about seven years be-
fore. The sapwood had decayed, but
the balance of the stump above ground
and all below was sound. On this
plat there were 1853 stumps that re-
quired boring. These averaged 1876
inches in diameter, and the length OF
hole bored averaged 1917 inches. the
total cost being less than eight dol
lars an acre. figuring labor at $3.50
per day.
For burning the large stumps OF fir,
ETC., in the Pacific Northwest, a quick
er method is used, which consists OF
boring two intersecting holes. as
shown here, and burning by starting
a fire at the intersection with the aid
OF red-hot Goals or piece OF irdp
heated to a white heat. After the part
marked "A" is burned out, the fire is
maintained by filling the space with
bark and litter. While the method
first described generally results in
burning the stump low enough to al
low of cultivating over 1t, in the case
of pine stumps, the method used on
the western trees leaves the larger
stringers with their smaller roots to
be pulled out by team or puller.
Other methods of burning are to
split the stump with a small charge
of powder and then kindle a fire in
the hole thus made, and charcoaling
or pitting. The latter, which consists
essentially of keeping a smodering
fire around the base of the stump. is
reported to be very economical for
large sthmps. Mr.. Ferris says "re-
moving stumps by this method (bor-
ing and burning) has been decidedly
cheaper than by any other method
tried, and as it requires only a small
expenditure for machinery, practically
no repair bills, and can be operated
by single individual it ought to APP
peal strongly to the farmers OF the
south"

The problem of clearing logged-on
land is an important one in various
parts of the country, and although
much of the farming is done upon
land formerly occupied by forests, but
little information regarding methods
and costs of preparing this land for
the pillow has been recorded.
Removing the stumps by hand has
proven a slow and costly method in
the long-leaf pine belt, while it is out
of the question for the large stumps
of fir and other trees up to five and
six feet in diameter predominating in
Washington and Oregon, and the
principal up-to-date methods are burn
ing, blasting and pulling. or some
combination of these.
Burning is considered the best way
to remove pine stumps, which have a
large amount of turpentine, as this
greatly assists in the process, and the
one tap roots of these trees are a
great hindrance In pulling. In regard
to burning these stumps. Mr.. Ferris
of the Mississippi station, says:

STATUS OF THE SQUAW MAN
Term is No Longer Considered One
Of Reproach, Owing to the
Changed Conditions.

The squaw man seeking only for the
flesh pots-he who never marries-is
generally as mean and low voluptu
airy as any other carnal creature
white, black or red. He is an offense
TO society; and It is because of him
that the term "squaw man" became
one Of opprobrium.
For in the early days in the west
white men rarely married the Indian
women with whom they lived. But
now, save in Alaska, and In sporadic
cases in the western states, conditions
have changed to a wholesome respect
ability. Every little while on the res
srvation one hears of a wedding that
might seem to the easterner highly
romantic, or highly repulsive, accord
ing to his point of view, but to which
local people and focal practice give
liberation, if NOT free sanction.
For westerners are agrarian in the
broad sense of the term, and when a
liberal-minded ranchman hears oil

that will go to each of their children;
and so, on meeting the bridegroom

and says: Good boy, Jim! May you

IMPROVED METHOD OF
CLEARING AWAY STUMPS
Mississippi Problem by System Of Boring
and Burning Without Excessive Cost

fastened on a horizontal shaft. Tnis
horizontal crank shaft is made or one
inch iron rod bent at one end TO form
a handle, with a fly wheel fastened
on the opposite end. 1t works through
two boxes fastened to the movable
frame and slides down the main
frame as the anger bores into the
stump. The upper end of the machine
is elevated about five feet, and stands
on two cart wheels, on which IL Is
easily rolled from stump to stump or
from field to field by single indi-
vidual. This elevation of the frame
helps to brace it against the stump
in boring, raises the crank shaft to
height at which it can be most easily
turned, causes a slight pressure to
be constantly exerted against the
auger, and makes it possible to bore
the hole diagonally into the stump.
At the extreme upper end OF the
frame is small windlass with ropes
attached, which is used for pulling
the anger out of the stump.
