LOOK OUT FOB FRAUDS!

w. B. Barney, state food and dairy
commissioner, has issued warning
to Iowa farmers against purchasing
seed corn from unreliable sources.
Complaint has come to his department
that some of the seed houses that
have made good deal of trouble in
pas. years, especially in 1910, by send
ing out worthless seed corn, are again
active and are using their old
schemes to defraud the farmer. Com
missioner Barney says:
1T has come to our knowledge that
they are advertising tested seed and
shipping corn that is only partly sort
ed and is not tested In any way.
"One of their plans is to offer TO
make shipment, giving ten days in
which the farmer may test, when they
know that this is not sufficient time.
We would not advise buying corn I'M
der these conditions or with SO short
a time to make a test. Be sure that
you know the reputation OF the man
or company with whom you place your
order. There are many reliable firms
selling corn and some that are abso-
lutely not worthy of your confidence or
business
Mr.. Barney reminds the farmers that
his or any other department can do
little or nothing for them if they buy
corn subject to trial and then do not
comply strictly with the conditions
under which the purchase was made
The only safe plan is to buy from re-
liable sources and then test every ear

The war department at Washington
has refused to approve the report of
the recent surveyors of the Des
Moines, that it could be made a
navigable stream. The keosauqua
Republican in speaking of the ruling
deduces the following conclusion from
it:
This means that the members of
the company that have been talking
of erecting power dams in the Des
Moines can now do it so far as the
government is concerned. They can't
any longer give government opposi-
ton as a reason for not making good
what they professed they desired to
do"

Rub1e Elevator Giving
Satisfaction.
WATER PLENTY THIS. SEASON
Other Properties Start Work
ing Soon.

Since the road has been opened
to Dixie, there has been consider
able activity in our neighboring
camp, and several properties are
getting ready to operate as soon
as supplies are on the ground.
The placer operations of the
Idaho Realty, Power and Mines
company are working day and
night, and it is understood that
the ground is very satisfactory.
S. R. Gayton, general manager
of the company is highly pleased
with the results so far obtained
by the Ruble elevator, and Mr..
Mckee, who is. the expert oper-
ator, made thesstatement that he
never worked ground more sat-
isfactory to him or better suited
for the elevator.
The Ruble elevator is an Ore
gon production, and has been
used very successfully in diff
ferent parts of that state, but
the one at Dixie is the first one
to be put into use in this section,
and it is pleasure to be able to
chronicle the fact that. it is sue
cessfully working. The elevator
is a very simple affair, and can
be constructed on the ground at
about one-half the cost Of any
other kind, and wherever it has
been used, it is regarded as q
wonderful gravel elevator and
gold saver, and the only objec-
tion there is to it is in moving,
and this is greatly overcome
when the elevator is built anC
set right at the beginning. The
ground now being worked is very
flat, and contains very few
boulders, and there is abundance
of water at present.

storms witnessed in any country

apology for the disturbance which
it created.
Mr.. Gustad, of the electric
company, says that a mile and a
quarter of their line on the west
side was simply 'chewed UP" by
lightning, ten of the poles being
torn out and some of them brok-
en- into pieces not over three feet
in length, and portions of them
ground into slivers; others were
split up in quarters and halves,
and the wire cut into scraps.
The phone company also suf-
fered severely, all but the toll
line being put out of commission
while horses tied to the town
racks had their feet knocked
from under them, and several
persons were also knocked down
or flung about in a most uncere-
monious manner, but SO far as
heard from none were injured,
or what is commonly called
struck by lightning" 1t was
a great freak storm.
