&C. E. Secrest, the affable teller at

Joy a vacation and expects to leave
Malta next Sunday for visit to his
old home in Ohio. Mrs. Secrest and
little son, H Henry, will accompany

The Grace Burgoyne Co., in "My
Wife's Family" pleased good sized
audience at the Eagles Opera House
last Thursday night. This company
present good clean comedy and we
trust they will favor Malta with
another visit early next season.
Mrs. Fred Cooper is exhibiting and
taking orders for a darning device
called "The Nuway Stockway Darn
er," which shows that the mind of
thought is keeping pace IN small as
we'll as in large inventions, for
there's just as much difference III
this darner of today, compared with
the methods used by our grandmoth-
ers, as there is between the old meth
ods of locomotion and aviation.
J. j. Martin of Grand Forks, n.
D., spent Sunday in our city with his
uncle, Martin Duffy. Mr.. Martin is
In the employ of the US. Railway
Postal service and for ten years has
run between Devils Lake, n. d.,
end Havre, Montana. He tells some
interesting stories about his work,
and from the volume of letters, as
many as II. 900, handled daily, should
be able to read character from Chi
Biography. Mail from faraWay CHI
cago now reaches Malta in twenty
eight hours.
Some very good work has been
done on the pike in the lane east of
town, north of the Great Northern
Railway. One Of the high places has
been lowered and this semi-sandy
loan taken to fill up big mud hold.
This is as it should be and Road
Commissioners Pierson merits praise
for giving this bad piece of road his
attention. There are about Malta
other roads, whose bad places have
been emphasized by the wet season,
which should have had attention
years ago. An annual expenditure
of $25, 900 for Valley county should,
if wisely expended, put every road
in good shape and build all the new
roads allowed.

WATCH MALTA CROW--SOME BIG
"SPUDS" AND TURNIPS

Joe Lafond experimental this year
by sowing his flax seed thin and is
now firm believer in light seeding
With Al pounds-less than one bushe]
he soWed three and one half acres.
The flax was threshed when it was
green, but notwithstanding that fact
the yield was twenty-eight bushels
Mr.. Lafond had intended sowing
twelve acres to flax but could not
procure seed and June 9th Elade this
A pounds go as far as he thought best
with the above pleasing result which
is thirty-three and four -elevenths
times the amount of the seed.
VIM. Garland, prominent rancher
and sheepman of Northern Montana
has also been successful in raising
potatoes. For a number of years,
Mr.. Garland has been producing
large, smooth, beautiful blue "spuds"
of the Sims variety on unirrigated
land, but this season they are con-
siderably better in quality and more
larger ones than ever before. Placing
twenty -four in a sack they were found
to weigh forty-four pounds-a num-
Der of them weighing two and one
half pounds EACH Mr.. Garland may
exhibit some of this variety at the
land show in st. Paul the coming
December for as the son of Erin said
"three would almost fiji a peck
measure and twenty y-one would make
a man a dacent meal.'
The Winkenwei Bros. who live
south of Malta, Oh Monday of this
week brought into town a sample of
white round turnips that were plant
ed on sod June 26, and a sample of
four potatoes taken from one hill
that were also planted under sod at
the same time. These samples We're
brought in to be sent to st. Paul for
the big display later this fall. The
turnips We're very large and consid-
ering their. smootlness~ are among
the best if not the best shown so far
this season and the POTATOES were
large and very smooth. The samples
have been regarded so fine that they
have been covered with earth to keep
them in as fine shape as possible.
The potatoes are white and smooth
and would be good stock from which
to select seed. We understand the
growers have quite a large quantity
of them for sale.
Apples for eating or cooking at The
Bon Ton.
Merchant has some bargains in
mems shoes.
Florsheim Shoes at Edwards &

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The recovery Of Washington Gas stock
from the low levels reached during the
week apparently was more rapid today
at the meeting Of the stock exchange than
yesterday.
Yesterday it. sold for SO, and at the
close 1t was offered for sale at All eighth
Of point less, with the bid at 81. Today
there was demand for what was called
cheap stock, or stock at such figures. and
in consequence the asking price did not
once get very near the low levels of the
preceding days.
Odd lots of the stock sold for s., which
is two points better than the best selling
prices Of yesterday. while 3 quotation lot
Of twenty-five shares went for S5A. The
bid remained at S5. with the asking price
q half point higher.
According to the current talk relative to
the course to be adopted in filling the
vacancy in the presidency caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Mclean it Is probable
that the subject will be taken up at the
next regular meeting of the directors. All
the members of the board are in the city
with the exception Of Joseph Letter, and
1t is thought possible that a choice will
be made at the next meeting. The three
members OF the board who have been
spoken of as available for the place are
r. H. Goldsborough, H. s. Reeside and
Joseph Letter.
There is not much discussion of the
chances of q n0n-member Of the board
being chosen, although that is posi-
bility.
A new national bank is said to be plan
ned for organization in the near future
for business In this city. In the interests
of such an institution, it is understood.
the building on G street near 14th street
and now occupied by the United States
Trust Company has been leased. The
trust company is soon to move to its new
quarters in the Southern building, and it
is proposed by those who are promoting
the new national bank to locate 1t in the
banking room when vacated.

The 0ld-Time Parlors,
from the Gallipolis tohio, Tribune.

~tSA 'HS oaiHpOhs tOuiot
One of our exchanges says there are
no more parlors. That is a mistake We
never owned one, and never wanted one
about the home since we began keeping
mouse. During the past twenty years q
great many families have abolished par
ions for the very good reason that they
nave come to the conclusion that the best
room In the house is none too good for
them to use every day. In the old days
the best carpet. the best furniture. the
best pictures, the prettiest curtains and
the handsomest household ornaments
were all I'm the parlor and the family, as
q family, never enjoyed them. Only when
company came was the parlor used, and
even then the family did not feel at home
in it, And there are many such par.ors
still in existence.
AS we look at the matter now, parlors
are J eeded only in homes where there are
girls In the family. A parlor with a big
fireplace and comfortable sofa built for
two is extremely enjoyable when there is
an attractive young woman in charge of
il. We remember one of that kind, and
the memory of it has entirely changed
the drift Of this paragraph We intended
to condemn the parior an institution
without reserve, but when the memories
of one particular parlor came back we
found We could not do 1t. God bless the
parlors.

A Valuable Service.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New York Tribune.
The constantly reiterated conteation OF
anti-conservationists that exploration will
not be conducted unless the whole return
for discovery is assured to the explorer.
and that mineral deposits especially would
never be found and developed under a
conservation policy, Is somewhat strik-
ingly answered by the geological survey.
which has just made public Information
regarding probable deposits of oil in Illi-
nois After examining considerable por-
ton of the state In cooperation with the
Illinois geological survey, the national
survey has issued bulletin not only
pointing out localities worthy of being
tested for OIL, but also emphasizing the
individuality of investing large sums in
fer - OF er section which. no
their geological formation, present little
prospect of a return on the investment.
t.eferrin to this information. the sur
vey announces that its tip is largely
for the purpose Of preventing random
Indicating" In unpromtsing territory
and Of promoting instead exploration in
areas whose rock structure and other
geologic factors hold out greater promise
for the occurrence OF oil po0.s.' The sur
vey calls attention to the great waste Of
money which resulted from .'wfldcatting'
discovery OF oil there last spring, and
says that this waste IL still going on in
sections where there Is every indication
that it, can result In nothing but disap-
pointment and loss.
M T.tsnse ~ made that q geolOsical
survey will disclose the actual presence
of OIL, or. gas but 1t is pointed out that
such q survey will enable the country to
be assorted into favorable and unfavor-
able territory. Even that. Ms every one
WHO has had any exper .ence with wi d.
eating must appreciate. will promote q
great saving Of useless energy and ex-
penditure. and will result. moreover. in
The development OF oil and gas in sections
where its presence II often wholly I'M
suspected.
