But do not rashly suppose that
all work is done with equal
care, or that materials are
chosen with the same judg-

Our Harness work stands SUI

our customers always remain

As the fall and winter season of 1911
Is going to be the greatest year for shows
and expositions. wherein the best grain
and farm products in the Northwest
will be exhibited. farmers should be on
the lookout for good sheaves of prize
winning grains as the harvest time ap-
proaches.
In selecting these samples the best
niied and best developed heads, with
straw bright, clean and free from dust.
should be secured. After selecting the
grain should be kept where it will not be
injured or get dirty. Stored in a dark
place it will keep its original color. Tie
the bundles at the base, in the middle
and at the top just below the heads.
Use soft cord or any wide band cloth
so as not to break the straw. Strip the
leaves from each straw with a stick
sharpened like a knife blade. Bundles
should be four to six inches in diameter.

The HillYard News reports that all

struction work that year or so ago was
suspended. Indications are that the
present year will witness the laying of
more steel and permanent improve

The road has started work in Montana
on the building of line into the Flat
head valley from Great Falls. Th. new
line will be extended to Augusta this
year, and next year pushed to a eonnec-
ton with the present main line near
Columbia Falls. This will make a con-
siderable shortening of the Burlington
line to the coast.
Contracts have been awarded for the
building of 25 miles of grade from Re-
public down the San Poll valley, head
ing toward the Columbia river.
Additional cutoff work between Minot
and the Twin Cities has been started.
1t looks as If the Great Northern would
be in position to more than meet the
competition offered by the Milwaukee
and other lines.
The Fidelity Co.'s switch engine has
returned from the Hillyard shops, where
it was taken for repair of
the damages sustained in collision with
a Great Northern engine.
A new schedule became effective on
the Great Northern on Sunday, the only
changes in time locally being that No,

FILING ON WATER R|GHTsI
Big Irrigation Project Outlined
From Bead Lake.
Other Projects Being Considered.

Practically all the available water in
this section is being rapidly filed on for
irrigation and water power purposes.
Ranchers are filing on spring branches
and larger streams on their premises or
in their immediate neighborhoods.
Others are filing on larger bodies OF
water destined to cover and bring larger
areas of land under irrigation. Con-
spicuous among recent filings is one re-
corded last week, when w. FL. Wright, a
Spokane man. filed for 150 cubic feet oi
water per second on the waters of Bead
Lake. about IL miles north of Newport.
The filing states that the water is to
be used in the irrigation of Sections 25,
26. q, "a. 35. So, 10, 20. % and 80. in
Township 80, Range IS, and Sections 13,

Bead Lake, which has shore line oil
nearly fourteen miles, is of great depth
and has no outlet above ground, al
though it is thought that Indian creek
heads from an underground outlet. AT
any rate the lake contains sufficient
water to Irrigate the territory covered,
and would at the same time provide
considerable water power. as it is located
several hundred feet higher than most
of the land mentioned above, the land
lying in three benches from the lake to
the Pend Oreille river.
The land is as yet largely covered with
timber. although considerable of it was
burned over bv the Mig fire of last Aug
ust, and it will therefore soon be logged
A large part of the land, the odd sec.
sections. belongs to the Panhandle Lum.

Several other good-sized irrigation
projects are being considered in this
territory. and it seems that the day is
not far distant when the development
of this territory will be pushed.

Newport Keeps On Minnins.

For the third time tina season the
Varney-Somers team. of Spokane. went
down in defeat before our baseball team
on Sunday last. Final score, 6 to 4.
The Spokane manager had promised
to bring . strong lineup and win this
game and did bring several new men.

by the abseucs OF Scott and Christensen,

enee of these gentlemen was far from
being essential.
Paine was back of the bat for the first
time this season. and demonstrated that
be is fully capable of handling the re-
eeiving end. His throwing to bases was
particularly good and he did not have q
single passed ball. Sheldon worked in
the feld-his first game this season.
and made several sensational catches,
besides doing effective work with the
stick. Witt was on short. very appro-
pirate place for one of his stature, and
also put up good game.
Roseburrough pitched q strong game,
allowing but one safe hit mp to the ninth
inning. He had his usual good control
and added q good bunch to the long list
list of strike-outs he has earned tins
season.
"Heinie" Meyers was the victim of an
accident that will put him out of the
game for some time. Sliding into third
he sustained painful sprain of his right
ankle. Meyers has been good steady
player and his accident ia regretted by
the fans.
Next Sunday and Monday our boys
will play the strong Libby, Mont, team.
The Montana town has had the reputa-
ton of being strong baseball center
for years, and this year they are claim
ing the championship of the state anna
teur teams. Newport is fairly entitled
to the amateur championship of North
eastern Washington and the mix-up
will be worth seeing. The games are
costly and should be well patronized by

shOuld he noted that this pubic TOdus onCe a
branch Of the United States department of agricul
ture-is doing a most important work for the cause
of road Improvement throughout the length and
breadth of the land For one thing laboratories are
maintained at Washington, specially equipped to
ascertain which of these best adapted to
use In any specified locality or under any given con-
ditions Even more important is the work OF the
government bureau in building stretches Of model

Under this plan of building model roads to serve
as object lessons in the possibilities and benefits
of highway improvements Uncle Sam sends his

which seems to need to be aroused regarding good
roads and with their own helpers, or by means OF
force of workmen recruited in the neghborhood
they construct mile two miles Of just the sort
of road that is ideal for that particular district
How beneficial these object lessons are Is proven
by the fact that thousands Of miles Of good roads
have been built in various parts Of the country this
past few years with these governmental Sample
roads" as patterns. The showing made by rural
roads before and after" treatment by the govern
ment road doctors has prompted state legislatures,
county commissioners, local boards Of trade, farm
ers' oranges and other bodies to appropriate money
for more extensive good roads campaign in To-
calities that have thus had taste of the benefits,
and in some states notably Delaware, wealthy
men have paid out of their own pockets for long
stretches of improved public roads for the use OF
the whole community.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-08-31

The average od-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads as necessary evil. He realized
in a sense what detriment they were to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
eminent, when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation, for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found, as they
looked closer, that bad roads meant hole in the
pocketbook of every tiller Of the soil. 1t began
to be realized that II farmer required the serv-
ices Of four horses and entire days time to
get load Of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious as though he had
to accept very low price for the yield of his
acres. Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf of better roads.
One Of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that it has broadened
his markets. With rocky or muddy highways en-
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in a shorter interval than was formerly re-
quired reach any one of several communities To-
Gated in different directions. This enables him
to attain the market where he can get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer Is
not likely to be so restricted to railroad for
shipping facilities. If the road nearest his farm
will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to a rival line
And the very fact that the introduction of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.
association which is to hold its first annual con-
gress in the future will not seek to drive out
or supplant the various goodroads associations
