Tue district court was Suln"- what relieved of the mnnnt"ny oI he bank cases yesterday after noon and evening. when Harry MatSu" was tried for having tap ped Pete Carr in tn" head with a hatchrt. under charge of as saul with a dangerous weapon.

Smallcy. were chosen to decide the fate of Inc ,lrfrnd- ant.
 Charles Ganiy defended MaI- sue and succeeded in getting his client free and almost cOnvinc- ing the jury that Carr had as SalilI"d Inc axe.
 The defendant went nn Inc stand nn his own hrhalr and in d most dramatic manner Icmnn- SiraI"d iiu iitsu with q jiIrynlan in an attempt io explain what had really happened at the time of the alleged assault. Little was understood of his oral testimony but his panlumimr was most clear to all. especially those up on whom he made the illustration.
 The jury were not out long when they returned with ver- dict of not guilty and somewhat in doubt whether tho defendant was not Inc injured party after all.

"Rusty" Goes to Pendleton'

A dispatch from Vancouver, B.

under date of April II has the
following to say which will prove
of interest to Cottonwood people:
Bob Brown made another cut
in Vancouver's base ball squad

Pitcher Rustemeyer, Infelder
Augustus and Catcher Pembroke
to Pendleton, Ore, club and
shipped Infelder Wicks to Cal
gary, in the Twilight league,
while Pitchers Criger and Peas
ley were given unconditional re-

We understand a league has
been formed between the towns
of Boise, Baker City, Pendleton,
Walla Walla and Ontario and
some fast teams will be main
tained there this year.

"Uncle Abe's" Bakery Opened

H. A. Hodges, who arrived
here recently from Texas and
opened a bakery in the room just
east of the Newport theatre, is
now nicely situated and has add
ed a line of groceries as we'll as
having a complete line of bakery
supplies. He has decided to call
his place Uncle Abe's" Bakery
and Grocery and says he is in
Cottonwood to stay. His family
arrived last week and will occupy
rooms at the rear of the bakery
for the present. Mr.. Hodges is
a firm believer in patronizing
home industry and says that
when he has used enough Cot
tonwood -four to provide sacks
enough for lining a house he will
build a home here. 1t is now up
to our citizens to make him
"come through. "
All jokes aside, however, a
bakery has long been needed in
Cottonwood and Mr.. Hodges will
doubtless find trade good in his
line as soon as he becomes known.

King Road Drag A Success

A practical test of the King
drag on the public roads between
Troy and Kendrick, on American
Ridge, has convinced the farmers
of that section of the merits of
this system of road building and
maintainance. Deputy Assessor
AL Roberts, speaking of the King
drag, said:
You ought to see our roads
on American ridge. The main
road from Troy to Kendrick has
been worked this spring and to-
day the roads are as smooth and
fine as they could be. You never
saw anything like it. 1t has
worked wonders. We have an
opportunity to make comparisons
for some of the side roads have
not been worked and they are
rough and in bad condition. But
the main roads, where the drag
has been used, are simply per-
feet. They are smooth and fine,
and the people ought to wake up
and recognize the necessity of
adopting them everywhere"
The King drag is made of par
allel blades, run angling, so that
they tend to work the dirt to the
center of the road, thus main
tanning the crown, once the road
bed is put in proper form. After
each rain, or as soon as a dirt
road begins to get rough, offer
ing any place for the Judgement
of water, or to get full of ruts,
the drag will work it out, and
give it fine surface. With
these machines, or the split log
drag, one man and span of horses,
can keep large strip of road n
shape, and where a district keeps
a drag going there is certain to
be little of the year, however
bad the season might be, when
the roads will not be passable. :

WHEAT REACHES
So CENT MARK
Local Buyers Give That Price
Under Certain Conditions
Also Contract Flax at Sl.5O
a Bushel.

The grain market has been on
the up grade for the past few
weeks and the price of wheat
has advanced from about CT
cents, at which price it fingered
for months last year, until IS
cents is being offered by local buy
ers this week for first quality
White Russian delivered at the
warehouse and on which no stor-
age has accrued. This is a good
figure and it is not known if the
market will get much stronger
or not. The heavy demand for
flour in the Orient and the poor
condition of the crops in Cali
fornia and the middle west are
the principal causes for the ad-
vance in the price of wheat
and the farmers who held their
wheat last fall will now profit
materially by the advance in
prices. Barley and oats are
steady and there has not been
much doing in these grains since
last fall.
Flax seems to be coming back
into popularity since the eastern
mills have had to enter the
western market and local buyers
are now offering to contract this
years flax crop at $1.50 a
bushel, which is certainly good
price. This offer will probably
result in quite an acrage being
sown to flax this year that would
otherwise be planted to barley or
wheat.

up in a short time no doubt with

Hog Market Soaring.

The hog market has taken an
other jump this week and John
Baer, local buyer for Stanton &
Co. of Spokane, is offering 8
cents pound for top stuff for
shipment next week. He has
already purchased nine carloads
at this figure for shipment Tues
day, six of which will go from
this place. While choice block
hogs are bringing 8 cents, the
heavier class are only worth p
cents and the half-fat grade II
cents but all of these figures are
good ones and will no doubt re-
suit in the farmers turning off offff
quite a lot of hogs while the
price is up.
Speaking of the hog market,
Mr.. Baer stated that he shipped
an average OF about five or six
cars of hogs week from the
prairie and Clearwater country
to Spokane but that it takes close
to thirty cars a week to supply
his company, the rest coming
from the states east of the Rocky
mountains. According to this
there should be little danger of
over production of hogs in the
west and the farmers should in
crease their hog production until
this country can supply the de-
mands of it's own markets. In
order to stimulate the hog indus
try the Stanton company intends
paying more for all western hogs
in future than for the eastern
product.
