SAVED BY DANDELIONS.

There is probably one man in the
state who has not got a grudge
against the dandelions, because his
life was saved by them, and i,
would be truly ungrateful if he
should farther complain against the
little yellow pest.

PUTTING UP DANGER
AND DIRECTION SIGNS

There is a state law which says
that signs shall be put up at all
cross roads, indicating direction and
distance to objective points. The
commissioners of the county are pre-
pairing to comply with the law and
will have signs painted and placed a
the intersection Of county roads.
Ten automobile and speed limit
signs, by Z feet in size, have been
painted by j. j. Smell. They will
be put up at the following places:
Two at Somers to warn autos off
the hill road, two at the Columbia
Falls bridge, also two danger signs,
two at the cut on the new road thru
Bad Rock canyon, two at the steel
bridge across the Flathead river
east of Kalispell.
County colors have been adopted,
and the signs will all be painted
with blue back ground and yellow
letters. They will be conspicuous,
and may always be recognized as Of
ficial. They will be known as the
property of the county, and will be
considered safe from destruction
and Disagreement by all good citi-
zens. The good old guide post will

INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE.

Mr.. A. W. Wyndham's lecture on
the Panama canal, given last Friday
evening in the Orpheum theatre, wa
eargly listened to by a full house.
His graphic descriptions of the
great work being carried on in the
Canal Zone, illustrated with colored
steropticon pictures were intensely
interesting. Those who were pres
ent agreed that that they had
gained more knowledge about the
Panama canal than they had ever
been able to accumulate from read
ing papers and phamplets.

STRAWBERRIES ARE THICK.

The wild Strawberries are dividing
honors with the dandelions to see
which can grow the thickest along
the Great Northern right-of- way. The
only reason that the dandelion is
more prominent Is because he is
taller and more striking. The wild
strawberries are also seen to be very
prolific all over the old stump land
They are now in bloom, and II flow
ers are any indication, there will be
plenty of strawberries to supply the
local market this summer.

TO KILL DANDELIONS

The most effective and practicable
method of clearing dandelion in

digging. is the use OF iron sulphate

A solution of copperas or

the solution to get on cement or

land. ! was told it was one of the
oloest towns in the state; and was
expecting to see an old town quiet
sleepy old town, such as state capi-
lals usually are; but / was most
pleasantly disappointed.
The first thing that struck me abou,
Salem was its 'newness." This was
especially true of its residence dis
trlct My home town back east" is
nearly Sc large, probably about q O0o
ana II Is an old town. A new residence
new building Of any kind. is almost
an event. My first walk out through
tae residence portion of the city as
tonished ME. 1t is a new town
standing on one street corner out
about the railroad, my companion
pointed out 19 residences that had
been built within two years. syery-
where It was the same; pretty bunga-
lows; six. eight and ten rooms mostly.
We're eyerywhere-frame buildings. I
should Judge costing from $1,000 to
$4,000; tasty and nicely painted:
smooth, fresh lawns and flowers-and
flowers-and more flowers. Iu many
respects it is the prettiest residence
city | ever saw.
The amount of street paving-of the
very best-for so small a city is enor-
nous; and | note from the local pa-
pers that another bunch of some miles
OF streets are to be paved next year.
The sewer system costing half a mil
lion is another thing that impressed
me greatly. And the cluster lights are
as fine as any city of its size, any
where, can boast.
The arrangement of the public
buildings-court house, post office and
capitol-is unique and decidedly pleas
ing, each having a block between two
OF the main streets, with a park block
between the post office and capitol;
and this arrangement will be carried
still a block further in the building of
the new state building, an annex" to
the capitol, but with a street between.
Another thing about Salem that i'm.
pressed me very strongly is the mag
nificent scenery. From Fairmount
park | looked to the west across the
winding willow-broldered Willamette
at the undulating hills of Polk county
with its farms and houses dotting the
green hills; the dark groves of young
frs; the springfield streams their lit
tie winding wanderings marked with
alder and willow, perfect picture of
pastoral beauty. To the east the famed
Willamette valley spreads and widens,
farm dotted, but with grove and wild
land still abundant Miles and miles
Of emerald and gray, until 1t sweeps
up into the darker border OF the Waldo
hills, and then on to the mighty noun
tain range that marks an undulating
line Of beauty as the eastern horizon,
beauty enhanced by the purple veil,
that hangs over the deep canyons and
which, like crystal most doth show
the things 1t most would hide"
Then too, one cannot but be i'm
pressed with the vast area of unused
lands. Even in the older settled and
better improved sections, there is so
much land that has not been put at
work yet, and which will, in the not
very remote future, now that us fell
lows back in "the centers of the uni
verse" have learned of 1t, be doubling
