Trees effected with this disease

that these trees are suffering from
lack of available nitrogen, proba bly,
brought about by lack of cultivation
or the growing of other products
among them to the detriment of the
tree. A good, thorough, clean til

CHERRIES BRING GOOD PRICES

The cherry crop of the valley ex-
perienced much the same treatment
in the markets that the Kennewick
strawberries received, the local
houses reporting that the demand
exceeded the supply in nearly every
instance. Good prices were received
from the outset. While the crop
in general was below what was ex-
pected, nevertheless those orchards
that had crops Jared we'll. The
standard brands brought prices as
high as 121 cents per pound along
the first of the season, declining to
s to 10 cents.
The local houses are reporting a
brisk demand at good prices for
raspberries, blackberries and the
like, and inquiries as to the pros
poets for peaches and apricots. 1t
is thought now that the fruit crop
from this district will total we'll
above the average, taking all the
crops into consideration.

Very Scientific Punishment,

Here is charming description Of cor
poral punishment as given in American
schools and prisons. 1t is taken from
one of the leading newspapers Of Italy
and will astonish some people here as
much as it probably astonished the
italian readers:
1.-THE most incorrigible persons are
led with eyes bandaged and hands
shackled to bath In which there is a
little water. They are stripped and
made to lie down In the bathtub. In
the water is a wire leading from one
pole of an electric battery. Another
wire leading from the other pole is
placed in contact with sponge which
is applied to the bare body Of the pris-
oner. Each time it touches him he re-
ceives an electric shock that feels ex-
actly as If he were being whipped.
1.-THE punished youth. being unable to
see whence the blows come. suffers all
the more and is soon under subsection"

HOW LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
ASSESSMENTS ARE MADE

One of the present topics of con-
versation is local improvement
assessments ard possibly a short
account of how the assessment is
made will be of interest to our
readers.
According to the State law gov
erning the manner of making the
assessment each tract is divided into
3O-foot zones running parallel to the
street upon which the improvement
is made. The improvement dis
trict extends back from the street
for a distance of $50 feet where a
tract is unplatted and to the center
of the block or to the alley line
where the block is plated into lots.
These zones are numbered as fol-
lows: As for the first, 25 for the
second, 20 for the third, 10 for the
fourth and 5for the fifth zone. II
the lots are longer than $50 feet,
the fifth zone is extended back to
the property line.
Then the area of the lot is found
in the following manner: The area
of the piece within the first zone is
multiplied by 45, that within the
second zone by 25, and 80 on for
each of the five zones. Then the
results of each multiplication are
added and the sum is the total area
of the lot, provididg the lot pays
only for frontage on one street.
Should the lot be corner one,
or within $50 feet of a side street, its
area in the zones running parallel to
the side street must be computed in
the same way and added to the area
from the other street.
Every lot or tract in the district
is computed in this manner, and
the sum of the whole gives the total
area of the district. Then the cost
to be paid by each lot is found as
follows: Assuming the total area of
a lot to be 1O1. 500. and the total
area of the district to be "a, 565, 900
and the total cost of the district to
be SIS, 800, then the cost to that
particular lot would be:

Drowning of Boy

Nom Becker, son of M. w. Becker

afternoon late, while swimming in a
large reservoir at Bracket, three
miles east Of Oriska.
The lad, with a number Of other
Dlaymates had walked to Bracket to
swim during the afternoon, and re-
moving his clothing started to play
IN the bank. While close to the edge
he slipped, and falling, dropped into
the reservoir in about fifteen feet of
water.
The boys playing with him made
frantic efforts to give him help, but
be sank almost at once, and the body
vas not recovered until midnight last
night
The accident seems doubly sad
from the fact that the Becker home
vas struck by lightning and burned

kFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

The first appearance of the Met

af nearly one hundred business men
AZ the city who have been watching
with interest the building of the ma

Mr.. Metcalfe has not fully complet.
I'd his airship, but the frame work is
finished, the engine and propeller in
stalled, and all of the planes are in
place for land flying.
The start from the building was
made shortly before noon, and after
some experimenting the engine was
started, for the first time since st.
Henry flew in Valley City two years
ago, the hum of the propeller blades
vas heard.
The engine is apparently extremely
powerful, and even with the spark
well retarded, was sufficient to move

Governor llama
Back from Gettysburg
NORTH DAKOTA EXECUTIVE HAS
MUCH TO SAY OF TRlP-EN.
JoYED hISTRoNlC OUTING.

Fargo, N. D., July 19.-Gov. L. B.
Hanna, who has been at Gettysburg,
Pa, and at various places in the state
Of Massachusetts returned to the
state last evening and today he has
been at his home in thiS city to take
good rest after his long journey.
This evening at 6 o'clock he will 60
to Devils Lake to attend the encamp-
men of the national guard of North
Dakota and the various functions in
his honor which will take place to-
morrow.
The governor was feeling excel.
lently when he was seen by Forum
man this noon. He is looking the
picture of health and while a trifle
/ tired remarked that it could be said
that he is feeling fine and in good
shape.
"The encampment of the G. A. r.
at Gettysburg, was the grandest af'
fair that l ever assisted in," remark
ed Governor Hanna. 1T was beyond
description and l enjoyed every min
ute of the time tat I spent with the
old boys on the historic battlefield.
Just imagine $4,000 soldiers there
during the encampment," exclaimed
the governor 1.-THE field itself covers
many hundreds of acres and yet it
was we'll covered with tents and
places for the entertainment of the
veterans. There were many curious
incidents that were going on all the
time.
Eyes I stayed right with the boys
and have a picture or two that was
taken right at our camp. They ap-
peared to enjoy it fully as much as
l did.
81 am told that I was the only
chief executive Of a state who lived
right with the boys during the en-
campment and partook of their food,
and really, while this was so, GER
tainly did enjoy myself every minute
of teh time. 1t certainly gave me
much food for knowledge for it was a
practical demonstration of the work
that was being done.
There was something going on all
the time. There were parades, there
were visitations and what not, that
made it one of the most interesting
affairs that I ever had anthing to do
with and I was only glad of the op.
portunity of getting right with the
boys. ...- .. ........... ......
LET me tell you that the North Da-
kota boys were all we'll, and appeared
to be among the heartiest of all the
ones who were on hand at the en-
campment. They were able to be at
their meals every time and they GER
tainly had good time.
II want to say that I was there to
assist in any way, but the fact of the
matter is that very few of them had
any need Of assistance. I wouldn't |
have missed it for good deal. This
evening expect to go to Devils Lake
and see our own soldier boys in their
encampment and l eXpect to have a
pleasant time with the boys, the !
greater number Of whom I know
personally"
