A rousing meeting of the North
east improvement club was held at
the Columbia school building last
night, at which progress in the
work Of giving that part Of the
city plenty of water was discussed.
This section was formerly under
the domination of the Jones sys-
tenn, but now the new city system
is about completed.
Resolutions indorsing the active
work of Councilmen Nelson and
Belshaw were adopted. A resolu-
ton thanking The Spokane Press
for its efforts in the water cam.
paign was also passed. The club
is aiding in securing things for the
enjoyment of children. A football
was purchased recently, and now
arrangements for basketball for
the girls have been made. The
president of the club is J. w
Bowen, and the secretary Is G. r.
Black.

NO BLACK HAND PLOT.

What appeared to be a Black
Hand plot on the life of Manager
York Of the Spokane theater was
only an accident, after all, yester-
day. York was sitting in his office
when the skylight over his head
was smashed into smithereens and
glass literally covered him. d He
rushed upstairs in a terrific state
of mind, to find that a youth had
accidentally dropped heavy light
globe through the window, and Mr..
York subsidized once more.

MYSTERIOUS
KNIFE FIGHT

o'clock this morning in the Lee
lodging house on Front avenue,
John Hurley. tile layer. was seri.

neck, and now lies at the hospital
in much weakened condition
from loss of blood.
James Murphy, a laborer,S and
Jerry Merrygan, shoemaker, are
held at the city Jail, charged with
being the assailants of Hurley, but
little can be learned about the
case as all concerned refuse to
talk. 1t is known, however, that
the three men were in the room
together when the fight occurred.

Assistant City Engineer A. D.
Butler came into close contact
with Chicago's police while he
was In that city recently. In
fact the contact was intimate
and unsuspecting. Mr.. Butler
is interested In sewer construc-
ton, and ono night he arrived
at an excavation after dark.
Jumping down into the hole,
which was about is feet deep,
he started to examine the con-
crete work, when he was un-
tremendously hauled out by a
diIigent "cop," who wanted to
know what no had done with
the sWag. Butler proclaimed
his innocence, but the officer
insisted that he had been hiding
the goods In the hole, and Il
was only after some little time
and talk that he was let Oft.

Duriug the year the Offices Of
the Congress have been active i'll
getting in touch with the most
successful dry farmers Of this and
other countries, are in a position To
present most helpful program al
the coming meeting.
Ia some SECTIONS Of the western
and Southern states, the rainfall
during the growing season has
been considerably below normal,
and many dry land farmers are
finding little to harvest. In al
most every community, a few far
mers have good crops, which en-
phaslzes .he fact that there is a
right ana a wrong way to conduct
dry farm soil tiIIage The Dry
Farming Congress, by getting to-
gether statements Of the methods
which have made success in var
ious communities, can be most
helpful ii Offering suggestions as
10 how best TO meet the difficulties
oE the dry season.
Because of the large number Of
visitors who are attracted to the
meetings OF this congess, there is
splendid opportunity for localities
TO exhibit their agricultural pro
ducts at the Dry Farming Expo
sition held in connection with the

BEST CROPS
ON EARTH
Taking the Price of
Farm Lands Into
Consideration

Taking the price Of land into
consideration it is Questionable as
to whether there is place in the
United States producing crops eq-
ual to those now being harvested
in this section and hundreds OF bin
ders are busy from early morn un-
til late at night cutting the golden
grain that has matured at least
three weeks earlier than that Of
the year 1909. During the past
year large number Of people from
the east have taken up their resi-
dence in this vicinity which has
resulted in a great increase in the
acreage Of cultivated lands, and it
is reasonably estimated that more
than million bushels Of grain
will be marketed at this point dur
ing the coming fall and winter.
We have seen and talked with a
number of farmers during the
past lew days concerning the yield
and not few have stated that
their oats would thresh seventy bu-
shell per acre and that the quality
is as good as that Of the past year,
which means that the test will run
from 80 to 46 pounds to the bush
ell.
Wheat will make good average
crop while thousands of acres seed
ed to flax will net enough profit to
cover the original cost of the land
upon which it was grown. While
the development of this section
during the past year has been little
less than marvellous, it can not
compare with what would have
been done had it been possible to
secure the necessary help to do the
breaking and seeding which could
have been contracted during the
early spring. Many non-residents
who had invested in land here
made every effort to have work of
this kind performed which was not
possible owing to the inability to
purchase engines and it is to be
hoped that no difficulty will be ex-
perienced along these lines in the
future and those who are contem-
plating the development Of their
land will take advantage of the
past experience by having their
contracts signed in due time.
