when the boat arrived opposite Cow
ington It was found that one OF the
animals was missing. The same was
true of a man who 1t is thought dis
appeared about the same time.
Tho mystery confronting the po-
lice resolves itself into question OF
how the man and horse got away
from the boat as not a stop had
been made since clearing Elizabeth
town. The strong current and un-
usually high river precluded any
such feat as animal and man swim
ming to shore. while employees on
the boat told the police that they
heard no unusual noises during the
night,

Satisfactory results were obtained
Thursday morning on South Fourth

King split log drag on the gravel
streets. One drag with two mules
and one man did as effective work
and nearly as much as one road

men. The grader can be used In
any kind OF weather while the drag
does most effective work after a

splendid time to demonstrate its eff
fectlveness. DR.. O. r. Kidd, presl-

Combating DandeIiOns in Lawns

Professor R. Kent Beattie, botanist
at the state college and experiment
station, has prepared the following
statement as an answer to many re-
quests for information as to how to COM
bat dandelions in lawns:
The common dandelion is on the in
crease as a pest in the lawns Of Eastern
Washington, 1t is very difficult to
eradicate. 1t perpetuates itself by a
large, feshy root which is difficult to
kill and this must be removed before
one can get rid Of the plant. A very
common method is to dig out as much
of the root as possible with a long,
heavy knife, or with a tool called a
spud, and then to put few drops OF
coal oil on the cut surface OF the roots.
In many cases the coal oil kills that
part Of the root which remains. It is,
however, not perfectly successful.
Some persons have tried sulphuric acid
on the roots. This is difficult thing
to handle for it is very injurious
to the hands and the person. It usually
kills the dandelion roots, but in some
cases they escape.
Recently good many people have
tried spraying for dandelions, and this
is recommended by some. The meth
cd used is to make a solution of iron
sulphate, two pounds to one gallon OF
water. Apply this to the lawn with a
spray pump so that it will make fine
mist. Some people put half an ounce
OF sulphuric acid in each gallon of the
spray. In any event all this spray can
do is to kill the tops. If, however, one
should begin in the spring and kill the
tops with the spray and then repeat the
process as often as new ones appear,
one ought in time to get rid OF the
roots by starving them out. This spray
does little or no injury to lawn grass
and clover. 1t sometimes blackens
the edges of the leaves little, but the
damage is never serious. From the
standpoint Of cheapness and ease of
application at least, this is probably
the best method to use in application
at least, this is probably the best meth
cd to use in fighting the dandelion.

if H. c. Gill, who was recalled one

three candidates, George F. Cotterill
being selected to go to the mat with
Gill for final honors. Former State Tax

fourth with more than 10000 votes.
Notwithstanding that the primaries were

be charged students of the institution,
contrary to the reports that have gone
out. The law school is the only de-
partment that requires a fee, that OIL
$40 semester, because it is profes-
sional school. At various times, the
matter of a general tuition fee has been
suggested, but never acted upon.
President Kane says that very few state

that of Washington.
