The Oldest kIickltat.


Jake Hunt, the Oldest living Klicki-
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
Of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
general farming business. All that
is left of the old settlement is little
church. totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent Of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command high price. He is said to
have married seven times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widow and few children to fall heir
to his valuable property!-Husum Cor

Pompadours No LONGER Modl.h.

Women find that their heads show
to better advantage with hair parted
at the side than In the middle. One
reason is perhaps because the middle
of the head has been parted 80 often
that the part is too broad. At the side
the hair appears thicker and more
glossy for some reason or other. But
every woman who has the least wish
to be modisn has done away with the
pompadour and is fiattening her hair
more or less at the sides. II a pun 10
put in at the side very small one Is
used. The aim seems to be to have
the head long from side view but
exceedingly narrow from the front.

ten days should suffice to control this
insect on house plants. Under green
house conditions, it is much better to
rely on the more efficient though dan
gerous fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas. Doctor Morrill, advises the
use of .O05 gram of potassium cyanide
for each cubic foot Of space, the fumi-
cation to last not over three hours.
Should this not prove effective, the
amount should be raised to 0.007
gram.
Fumigation should be after dark
preferably when the moon Is not
shining. and the foliage of the plants,
should be dry). These precautions
are advised simply for the purpose of
reducing to a minimum the danger Of

KEEPING FEED
LOT CLEAN
Brick Pavement for Small Bunch
of Cattle Is Best-TiIe Drain
Laid In Ordinary Way
Is Rec m m n d I'd.
By C. M. CoULToN.)

tby y. M CoULTON.D
There is no good reason why the
feed lot should not be kept In good
condition. even IL there is no hill on
the farm. II the land is level and
only small bunch of cattle is to be
fed. good plan is to remove the top
soil with road scraper to the depth
OF six inches or more, and then cover
the surface with smooth stones topped
off with coarse coal cinders mixed
with sand.
or course, the best way to keep a
small feed lot dry is to pave it with
brick. This costs something at the
start. but the investment will pay
every time. The cattle are always on
dry footing and no feed is wasted by
being thrown on the ground.
II large lot of cattle is to be fed
the cost of paving a large lot is out
of the question; but 1t can be under.

In the ordinary way. from 10 to 20 feet

located in a swamp in good condition.
even in the rainiest part of the season.
Drainage will cost no more than
sheds, and unless the sheds are very
wide they soon become soaked with
the driving rains and mud is then
carried into them by the cattle. and
are little better than an open lot.
On our own farm We have two lots
of ten acres each. which are perfectly
drained. They are on a slightly slop-
ing rise, and we place the drains about
20 feet apart. Perhaps 40 feet would
have answered the purpose. but we
decided to take no chances and are
satisfied with out Investment. These
two lots cost us $500 for tile and
work, besides our own, but we think
1t has paid, because our cattle have
been fattened In comfort
