Each piece should have about
two ounces of potato. This piece
of potato is nourishment for the
plant when it starts to grow.
Lack of food will mean a weakly
potato stock.
Think twice before planting
the culls or little potatoes. The
South Dakota Experiment Sta
ton at Brookings found that
potatoes from large seed yielded
1916 bushels more potatoes per
acre than inferior small seed po-
tatoes did. This meant over 20
per cent increase yield for large
we'll selected seed potatoes.
Send to the Experiment Station
at Brookings. S. D. for Bulletin
lao and the details of this ex-
pertinent.
The harrow is indispensable in
potato growing. Harrow the
potato field every few days un-
til the potato plants are large
enough to plow. T h i season
with seed potatoes at soc per
bushel should not be the cause
for the planting of a small acre
age. 1t is the right season to
plant a goodly acreage.

Miles From Aberdeen, Yesterday

Two men were instantly killed a,
11:06 a. m. yesterday at the camp o1
the Willapa Logging company, II
miles out on North river, when the
boiler of donkey engine exploded
The dead:
J. H. KEISLING, of Hoquiam, fore
man.
JOHN ANTELA, fireman.
The time of the accident was fixed
by Keisling's watch, which stopped
at LOS o'clock. The force of the ex
pl0sion was so great 1t shook the
ground more than half mile from
the place where the engine stood. Its
cause has not been determined.
Both men were killed instantly
Antela was blown over 200 feet
through the air, his body striking a
stump and being somewhat mangled
Keisling was thrown only few feet
The left side of his head and face
was crushed in, either by force OF
the explosion or by blow from a
fragment of the boiler. The boiler
and engine were demolished.
A number of men employed in the
camp were close to the engine when
the accident occurred, the nearest be-
ing about 100 feet away. Only one of
these men was hurt, Otto Siebert, who
was hit by piece Of flying pipe, but
his injuries are not serious.
J. F. Hobi, proprietor of the Villa.

it had been impossible to determine
cause Of the accident. He was about
half mile, away when it occurred.

kens, is sample of what intelligent
labor on this land will do.
Seven years ago, he said, the father
and two sons bought 100 acres for
$7,100, paying $4,000 cash for it and
went in debt for the rest. They had
three cows at the start. At the end
of the first year they had 20 cows.
At the end Of the second year they
paid off the balance of the farms
cost At the end Of the third year,
having more money than they what
to do with" as he phrased it, they
bought another ranch, paying part
down and going into debt for the re-
mainder. At the end of the next year,
the second ranch was all paid. Then
their father retired, selling his inter-
ests to his two sons for $1,000 cash
and the rest on comparatively easy
payments. The brothers now own
three ranches, have AZ cows, their
debts are all paid and they are in
dependent. 1.-TWO of our monthly
creamery checks make thousand dol
lars at this season of the year," said
the speaker. They intend to buy no
more ranches, he said, unless they
can get the cows with the land. They
confine their attention to cows, rails
ing their own hay and selling none
of it. They are now building a silo.
They raise few pigs, which take care
of all the soured and skinned milk
Of the ranches. IF we had a road
through the Wishkah river valley to
Aberdeen" said Reinkens, I'VE would
not even raise hogs; we would make
and sell Dutch cheese in Aberdeen"
Mr.. Reinkens passed around his
statements from the Montesano cream
cry, which showed payment of ST.
868.26 for the first six months of this
year for the butter fat from Al cows.
Similar experiences were told by j.
H. Taylor, J. L. Beardsley, M. Main.
Frank and Charles Armstrong, and
E. B. Kemp. Short talks were also
made by Eldridge Wheeler, mayor Of

night was the safety valve of the en-.

is informed there was plenty of water
in the boiler.
Antela, Finn, who had been in
this country only about two years
was fireman at the donkey, and was
handling it in the absence of the en-.
/; gineer Keisling stood on the sled
of the engine, which was a swing
donkey. They were engaged in NOV.
ing it, and Keisling was handling the
line. The engineer was short dis
tance away at another engine, which
also had been moved only few min
utes before. Keisling was careful and
competent workman and Mr.. Hobi
states Antela was well able to handle
the engine. The donkey had not bee,,
in use for about week, but was fired
up yesterday forenoon and had been
moved about 500 feet before the ex.
plosion occurred.
Inc DOuleS OI tHe TWO meH were

years of age and had been a resident
of the district about 10 years and
had been in the employ of the Willapa
Logging company Yor the past six
years. A sister, Mrs. Amos Mckay,
resides in East Hoquiam, and two
brothers survive, one at Missoula,
Mont, and one in Idaho. Mr. Keisling
was a member of the Hoquiam Eagles
lodge and was popular in both this
city and Aberdeen. Little is known
of Antela's relatives.

WlSHKAH VALLEY
ROAD DELAYED
Farmers Circulate Petition
Asking That the Work Be

INJUNCTION SUIT IS LOST
Captous Objections Delay the
Work at Most Favorable
Time of the Year

The farmers of the Wishkah valley
are waxing indignant at the obstruc
tions being placed in the way of i'm
proving the road up that valley by .
few residents, and are circulating 6
petition to the board of county com
missioners, deprecating those obstruc
tive tactics, and requesting the board
to proceed as early as possible with
the improvements planned.
There appears to be no dispute az
to the fact that such changes as have
been made in the route are made
solely with view of securing the
easiest grades and shortest route, We!
objections are made because, in max
ing the changes, some homes are left
a little off the road, or further away
from it than they now are. The com
missioners won in the injunction suit
brought by o. M. Patterson, which
was heard in the superior court be.

1t is not likely that any further such
actions will be commenced. Still
these objections tend to delay the

do it, hence the petition, which fol.

MUNICIPAL
HOUSEKEEPING
Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane
Lectures on Sanitation
and Cleanliness
ENTERTAIN AT LUNCHEON
Aberdeen Stores in Fair Con-
dition, but Waterworks
Are Unsanitary

The lecture of Caroline Bartlett
Crane, in the auditorium of the j.
M. Weatherwax High school last even
ing, under the auspices of the Grays
Harbor Federation of Women's clubs,
was attended by fair sized audience,
and proved entertaining and highly
instructive. Mrs. Crane delivered ten
lectures in the state through the CO.
operation of the state board of health
and the federated women's clubs.
She was ente aimed at luncheon by
the Women's Clubs at Hoquiam yes
terday afternoon, and devoted the re-
mainder of the day in investigating
sanitary conditions in Aberdeen and
Hoquiam, visiting the waterworks and
provision stores.
At the meeting, Mrs. j. s. Mckee,
Of Hoquiam, presided, and introduced
Dr. Kelly, Mrs. Ellis and Mr.. Perkins,
who made short talks in reference to
the work of Mrs. Crane in connection
with the state health board, the state
women's federations and the depart
ments of agriculture
Mrs. Cranes address was based on
the keynote of municipal housekeep-
ing, with special reference to the
changes for the better since women
became active agents for good in the
government. She said the men did
the municipal housekeeping very
we'll, considering they were men. She
cited incidents to show the practi-
cal progress of the work when taken
hold of by natural housekeepers.
Mrs. Crane told of her inspection
of the two cities. She asked pardon
If errors were made, as her inspec.
tion was necessarily very brief. The
first item taken up was the street
question. She recommended placing
all pipes and the like underneath
before the paving is laid, or a tenn
porary paving constructed until
pipes and sewers were laid. The al.
leys Of both cities were recommend
ed as very we'll constructed and were
declared in good condition except for
the old shacks, which formed rear
premises dangerous in case of fire.
Mrs. Crane visited the Aberdeen
waterworks yesterday, and she pro-
nounced the source of the city's wat
er supply in very unsanitary con-
dition. The grocery stores. meat and
fish markets, with but few eA~.--'ions,
she found in very good order. the
sewer system was pronounced good,
except in South Aberdeen. She rec
ommended that every means Of ex.
terminating that terrible beast, the
fly" by striking at the cause Of it's
danger should be undertaken, not only
in the sewer systems, but also in the
stables, garbage dumps. etc.
