Must Consult Commissioners

For the benefit of those of our
readers who may be contemplate
ing the moving of their fences
along the public roads this spring
we would call their attention to
the fact that, if they are now
residents of a highway district,
it will be necessary for them to
secure permission from the COM
missioners of their district be-
fore making any changes in
fences along the roads as here
tofore laid out and travelled. Ac-
cording to the laws of our state
any road becomes a public high
way after it has been travelled
and used as such for a period of
five years and cannot be closed
without action being taken by
the commissioners of the district.
Therefore, if you wish to change
your fences or alter the trend of
the roads in your vicinity, take
the matter up with your highway
commissioners and save time and
trouble later.

The Northwest livestock special
reached Pasco at s o'clock this evening.
The train is the finest and largest ever
run out of the Inland Empire for a
similar purpose. The visitors were met
by the president, officers and members
of the Pasco Chamber of Commerce
and escorted to the club headquarters
where big outpouring of Pasco people
had gathered to greet them.
Among the diversions of the evening
was the introduction of a live Jersey
pig by the Cottonwood delegation. The
porker squealed Justify and one of the
speakers declared he was trying to say
that he came from the town which
shipped annually the greatest number
of cars of hogs of any railroad station
west of the Rocky Mountains.
The Spirit of '76 Drum Corps render
ed stirring music and Messrs. Carnahan
ard Rainwater gave some ST. Patricll's
day enthusiasm to the occasion by an
old-fashioned hoe-doWn. The Pasco
people served the visiting women with
boxes of confectionery and provided
cigars for the men.-Pasco Special to

Nezperce Struck By Fire.

insurance of 1000. 1t is claim

room of the hotel where a paint

the room a thorough cleaning
with gasoline he lit his pipe to
better see the effects of his work

with his life. By hard work on
the part of the fire company,
and the absence of wind, the fire
was kept from spreading to the

store, otherwise the fire would
have swept the entire business
section of the city.
The burned district will proba-

Farmers Should Brand Sacks

1.-The. State Grain Commission
has receive / numerous complaints
of irregularities among ware
housemen IN the handling of
s 'eclal piled grain, that is,
!. tn Uugh the inattention of farm
ers to strictly observe the rule of
branding sacks, if they desire
special pile. This has caused
much misunderstanding at ware
houses in all parts of the coun-
try" Such was the statement
made by D. W. Greenburg,
chairman of the Commission,
who was in town from Lewiston
this week:
I'VE wish to only call the atten-
ton of the farmers to the neces-
sity of branding their own sacks
if they desire their grain special
piled" said Mr.. Greenburg. 1T
is the only plan where they can
have assurance that their grain
will be stored separately, as it is
not incumbent on the warehouse
men to brand the sacks for them.
We are not urging special piles
at all, provided the farmers can
secure a grade for their grain
that will satisfy them, but we
think that as a protection to the
farmer they should at least be
interested enough in this matter
to provide for having their sacks
branded before they haul to the
warehouse.
Farmers should also see that
their warehouse receipts contain
the mark on the ticket and that
the receipts be properly made
OUT. We think also that where
grain is not special pile that
every warehouse receipt should
show the proper grade and kind
of grain. We have noticed in
many instances where a farmer
hauled grain to the warehouse
and while some Of his tickets
were marked No. l, that some
did not at all show the grade.
In this instance, an innocent pur-
