son. of Russell, was organized in 1880,
with the county seat on Mcclure creek.
under the name OF Ervinton. The CEN
ter Of population being west Of this
point. there was heated contest over
the location between the eastern and
western sections OF the county. The
western faction wanted the town lo-
Gated on Holly creek. After a strug-
gle OF two years the site was changed
by an act Of the General Assembly.
The new town was located on Holly
creek, and was named Clintwuod. in
honor Of Senator Clint Wood. of Scott
county. who gave material aid In the
project OF the removal.
The agitation Of the question of the
removal being settled. the new town
began to build rapidly. considering the
lack OF railroad facilities for trans
portation. The nearest railroad station
was Abingdon. fifty-feur miles distant
and over rough mountain roads. Peo-
pie began to move into the new county
from Russell on the east, and Pike.
KY. on the west. Business men To-
Gated In the town. and farmers in the
country. Agricultural interests began
to flourish. as the primitive methods
OF farming made way for the new, and
the growing OF diversified crops was
begun. However. when the coal and

and for some years the farms did not
produce enough for home consump-
ton. In consequence Of this short
age. considerable supplies had to be
purchased outside. and the advance
ment along Industrial lines was not
40 great as II should have been. But
the farming class il now awakening
10 the fact that there 10 money IN
larger crops, and there is for the last
few years a considerable increase In
the crop acreage. More attention IL
being given to raising wheat than for
mariy was done. Farmers find than
this grain can be raised cheaper than
corn. The most serious drawback to
this industry Is the lack of flour mills,
the nearest being at Coeburn. TWEEN
~ miles from the county seat. Some
wheat il being hauled to the Coeburn
MILL and the -four manufactured Ia OF
an excellent quality. There Is good
market for all farm products at the
public works---n only the farmers
would produce a surplus.
Dickinson county, with the exception
Of Buchanan. Is perhaps the best tim
bered county of the STATE. Though
most OF the flrst-class timber has been
worked out. there is still much that
Is valuable. There are many rich de-
posits OF bituminous coal IN the noun
tair1s, and the county Is upon the eve
of great industrial development.

PROGRESS MADE BY PIANO FIRM

The progress of Richmond business
enterprise generally IL well exempf-
fled in the growth OF the Crafts Piano
Company. The business was started
In 1907 by Arthur j. Crafts In
small building on North Fifth street.
in which there was room for storing
only four pianos. Now the company
which has developed from this hum
BILE beginning Is looking for a site on
which to erect a piano factory all Its
own.
A few months after the business
was started by Mr.. Crafts. he sought
larger quarters. At the end of twelve
months. the building at the corner Of
Fifth and Grace streets was secured
which afforded room for the storage
OF about one hundred pianos. From
this location. the business was re-
moved in IA short time TO the COM
modious building. at 121 East Broad
street. which the company now oc-
cupies. As the business grew. other
tines OF musical goods were added to
the stock. and the entire top hoor OF
the Hofheimer building has been se-
cured as a repair shop. which Is run
In connection with the regular sales
business.
The company r. now preparing to
still further enlarge it's present quar-
tiers. and work viii be begun on this
enlargement in a short while. The
company Is also contemplating en-
gaEing In the manufacture Of self
playing pianos soon as a suitable
location can be secured.

Data on Marketing to Be Regularly
Gathered Is Now Planned.
Wenatchee- Establishment of clear
ing houses for growers directly in the
principal apple-producing districts of
the Northwest is the plan of Wenat-
chez growers, buyers and shipping
associations. The need of such action
is felt more this season than ever be-
fore, and steps are to be taken at once
to secure the cooperation of the Hood
River, Rogue River, Yakima, White
Salmon and other apple sections in the
establishment of this "market-wise"
organization.
Protection of the growers of fruit is
the prime object sought. Under the
present system of marketing, cars of
fruit are often started East with no
definite destination. 1t often happens
that the fruit enters market already
glutted. This results in low prices and
ruins the market. Furthermore, local
clearinghouse would furnish the
growers with expert and reliable data
regarding markets all over the world.
1t is believed thousands of dollars will
be saved to Northwestern gr1wers
through local clearinghouse.

Governor Hay Renominated Without
Opposition-vote Light.
Seattle = The statewide primaries
were marked by apathy. The Seattle
newspapers made elaborate arrange
ments to display election returns, but
only handful Of people gathered.
Governor Marion E. Hay, Republican.
was nominated without any real OPP
position.
In the First, or Seattle congress dis
trict, Representative Will E. Humph-
reg was similarly renominated. For
congressman-at-large Frank Hammond
and ]. E. Frost are leading in Seattle,
but it is asserted that Hammond will
run behind Henry B. Dewey else
where.
For state. insurance commissioner,
John H. Schively, against whom a
bitter personal fight was made, ran
far behind State Senator H. o. Fish
back in King county and throughout
the state.
On the Democratic side no illumin-
alive figures on the governorship are
obtainable, except that King county
scattering returns show that Elmer C..
Million, Democrat, is not running so
we'll as was expected. Charles G..
Heifner, Democrat, seems to have
won the congress nomination in the
First district over Thomas R. Horner.
Supreme Justices Ralph o. Dunbar.
Overton G.. Ellis and Wallace Mount
were renominated unopposed.
For encouragement, w. V. Tan
ner, Republican, is renominated al
most unanimously.
In the first, or Seattle, district, 20
King county precincts give Heifner,
Democrat, for congress, 204; Horner,
SO. Heifner's nomination is conceded.
Eighteen precincts in King county
for congressman-at-large give Frost
211, Hammond 161. Returns from
various parts of the state indicate the
nomination of Frost for one of the
two seats.
There was only one Socialist can
didate for each office.
The Socialist ticket, headed by Miss
Anna Maley, for governor, was NOM
mated by a mail referendum two
months ago. but under the state law
the candidates were obliged to go on
the primary ballot.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for the Indian
fair and roundup to open in Toppen-
ish on September 80 and continue
until October 9 are being arranged by
the association of business men in
Toppenish, who have formed an organ

cludes branding calves, best roping,
broncho busting, bulldogging, wild
horse races, Indian games, Indian
war dances, Indian whip-her-in races,
Indian and white relay races, stage
coach races, steer riding, failing
steers, rooster games, squaw races,
Indian wild horse races and similar
sports. There will be a regular In
dian camp on the grounds not far from
the grandstand together with dis.
play of Indian handiwork.
Horsemen are already arriving in
Toppenish to take part in the events,
and with the large number of entries
from Kittitas, Yakima, Benton and

CHAMPIONS MAcADAM ROADS.
Highway Promoter Addresses Crowd
on Better Thoroughfares.

on Better Thoroughfares.
Pomeroy-Sam Hill, the good roads
promoter and builder, gave lecture,
illustrated with stereopticon views, in
the opera house here. He said ma
cadam or similar roads were the best
investment farmers could make from
an economic standpoint, because of the
saving on horses and machinery.
Klickitat county saved &c. 900 in
marketing one wheat crop by having a
good road over which to transport it.
He said Europe pays at the rate of 10
cents a mile for transporting a ton;
America pays at the rate of 80 cents,
on account of inferior roads.
Garfield county farmers have a
practical demonstration of the benefit
derived from improved roads in the
two miles of macadam road east of
town. Hundreds of teams approach
the warehouses in Pomeroy over this
road with ease, while they formerly
plowed through dust, unable to see
other teams.

VALLEY FREE FROM BLIGHT.
Disease Affecting Three-fourths of
Orchards is Routed.


North Yakima-The Yakima valley
is practically free of the pear blight,
or "fire blight" found two months
ago to infest more than Is per cent of
the orchards, according to District
Horticultural Inspector T. O. Nor
rison.
"Our success in getting rid of the
orchard disease is due to the fact that
prompt and concerted action was
taken" said Mr.. Morrison. Fifteen
inspectors were put on for the first
three weeks and they were gradually
dropped as the trees were inspected.
There are only four nov still at work.
"The colder weather has also check
ed the sap so that the blight does not
spread 80 fast and that gives US bet
ter chance to catch up with it. We
will keep on with the work and get it
practically stamped out this fall and
winter.
"The Walla Walla and Wenatchee
districts have also been making fight
against the disease this year. In
Walla Walla they brought an expert
from the Oregon Agricultural school
and they have now sent Walla Walla
man to Salem to make special study
of the blight, to take charge of the
campaign against it when he returns. !"

Valley Crops One-HaIf In.

Salem, Or. - The continued bad
weather has damaged grain in the
shock about 10 per cent. Hops have
nodded considerable, and possibly
there will be loss of Is per cent. The
prunes are unchanged, with only a
fair crop on the trees, as the frost
caught some of them early in the
spring. The foregoing refers only to
the unharvested portion of the crops.
At least one-half of hops are harvest
ed, and grain one-half in the bin, and
we think more. Barley is off color,
and will not be used for brewing.

They Travel.
Douglas, Ariz. With his 400 fol-
lowers living on the fat of the land,
Inez Salazar, the rebel general, is
moving slowly to the west along the
international boundary. He is closely
watched by United States cavalrymen,
who are following the rebel move
ments from the American side of the
line.
Salazar and his men remain at a
ranch until all the choicest cattle and
provisions are consumed and then
move few miles west. They are
slowly nearing Augua Prieta, the
Mexican town just opposite Douglas.
At last reports to United States
army officers here, Salazar's command
camped on the Mescal ranch, rs miles
east of Augua Prieta, where the fed
eral garrison was strengthened by the
arrival of 100 soldiers from the South.
This makes the garrison number 300
men, but Salazar's force may be
strengthened at any time by the many
groups of from 200 to 400 rebels
operating in the vicinity.

Metal "Cheese" Hidden in Trunk BY
Stoical Loser Till Death.
Seattle = A $4,000 gold brick
swindle perpetrated three years ago
on w. R. Marion, a wealthy resident
of South Bend, WASH, who has since
died, was disclosed Saturday when a
cheese-shaped "brick" weighing 100
pounds was declared at the United
States assay Office here to be made OF
an excellent grade of copper coated
with a thick layer of pure gold.
Marion, who is believed to have
bought the "gold" from half-blood
Mexican who visited him three years
ago, evidently discovered that he had
been swindled, but did not complain,
and the operations of the confidence
men were brought to light only when
his widow began an investigation of
an apparent $40, 900 shortage in her
husband estate.
