The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-15

More practical good road wol
is being done this month in tt
state of Washington than h
ever been done before. D. Wal
King, the famous Split Log Ro;
Drag expert, is giving a seri
of lectures and demonstra-
tions throughout the state.
Lectures have been given at
Yakima, Centralia, Tacoma,
Seattle and Renton and sew
eral more are scheduled. He
is now speaking in the North
western counties. Mr.. King
is a successful farmer from
the little town of Maitland,
way up in the Northwestern
part of Missouri, where he
has lived for 80 years. 1t is
acknowledged that the half
mile of road in front of Mr..
Kings place is the best piece
of road in the United States
and this has been brought
about through the work of
Mr.. King, in dragging the
road after every rain for sew
eral years.
In demonstrating the Split
Log Road Drag Mr.. King
claims no patents on this de-
vice, in fact, does not take the
honor of even inventing it.
He says that it was more of a
discovery than an invention,
that somebody about his farm
had fastened together two
pieces of timber, to beat down
corn stalks, and in working
over the roads the results
gave Mr.. King an idea. Mr..
King, being a close observer
and student, made some in
vestigations which finally re-
suited in the Split Log Road
Drag. A splendid descrip-
tion and minute instructions
for making it are published
on page a of this issue.
Mr.. King met the Seattle
Automobile Club at the Artic
Club rooms last Saturday, to-
gether with several Good
Road enthusiasts of the coun-
ty. In the afternoon a dem
onstration was given on a
street a block long in Seattle
which was witnessed by quite
a large number of AUTOMOBILE
lists and farmers. In the eve-
ming Mr.. King gave an ad-
dress on the subject of got
roads and the value of the Spl
Log Road Drag before sma
but appreciative audience
good road enthusiasts.
If the Split Log Road DR.;

BOOSTING GOOD ROADS IN WASHINGTON

,nefits of the road drag. The
,ople had made a real split log
'ag and the demonstration was
splendid one. The work was
itnessed by at least 100 people
I'd it is safe to say that prac-
tically every man present be-
came a hearty advocate of
the road drag. Another splen-
did meeting last week was
held at Tacoma. At that
meeting some two dozen farm
ers agreed to use the drag.
Mr.. King is not only doing
good work for better roads
in his lectures, but is creating
a better impression of farm
ing as a profession and life
work. No man or woman
can listen to his eulogy on
agriculture and not have a
better opinion of the great
work of farming. His straight
talk giving the contrast be-
tween the live, independent
farmer and city wage worker
gives every farmer better
opinion of his chosen profess
sion. At Renton, the High
School students were taken
in body, accompanied by
their teachers, to hear the
lecture and they took great
pleasure in listening to the
methods worked out by the
speaker in getting the fun
damentals which lay at the
bottom of success of the split
log drag in operation on the
ground.
With the impetus given
the good roads movement by
the lectures of Mr.. King, it is
hoped that permanent sys-
TEN of road dragging may be
established in each state of
the Pacific Northwest. The
legislature should be appeal
ed to to make suitable laws.
The Good Roads Association
of Washington has asked the
legislature to make law
compelling road dragging.
Other states should do like
wise, but as Mr.. King points
out in his lectures, the only
method which will make road
dragging success, is to Gre
ate a sentiment in favor of
road dragging. This can only
be done by practical demon
rations, proving the value of
Ich work. A public sentiment
ust be created until the slogan
Good Roads Without Money"
i'll become as popular here as

REAL LION At LARGE
IN BENTON COUNTY

Big Sandy, July 2. Some kind
of wild animal is at large in the
Tennessee river hills and is MAX
ing inroads upon the stock If the
farmers who live in that section
and on Sulphur creek. A great
many hogs and a yearlinas or two
have been killed. The animal
was seen last week by Noah Dav-
idson and Ed Hartley, RESPONSE
BILE men, and they say it is a lion.
The beast had crept up to within
a distance of ten feet of Hartley,
who was hacking ties, and Dav-
idson just happened to walk up
and warn Hartley in time. Arm
ed only with a small pistol, the
men retreated. 1t is understood
that the farmers have offered a
reward for the capture of the
beast.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK
BR|GHT,SAYS JUDGtH|LL

Nashville, June 80. Judge L.
D. Hill, in charge of the judicial
campaign for the state commit
tee, is making things hum at
Democratic headquarters in the
Maxwell House. He is devoting
his entire time just now to Judge
Burrow, the Democratic nomieee
for the supreme court.
After making a trip through
Middle and West Tennessee
Chairman Hill says: "The out
look for Judge Burrows election
August 6, is very bright. | don't
believe there is a doubt but that
he will receives the usual Demo.
cratic majority in Middle and
West Tennessee, and in East
Tennessee / get reports that he
will run beyond the usual Dem
ocratic vote. Judge Burrow is
very popular in East Tennessee
where he is best known. | look
for a very heavy vote in August
which means a Democratic elec-
tion."
Judge Hill says that Gen. Rye
and Senator Welch, the Demo.
cratic nominees for governor
and railroad commissioner, re-
spectively, are growing stronger
every day. Comm Thru With

From all over the state come
the reports that Democracy is in
better shape for the campaign
this year than for ten years past.

than for years. In Middle Ten.

hen to pull off. Not much Of a
surprise, either, with the mercu.
ry soaring above the 100 mark.
Douglas W. Wade, of Whitlock
found a curious looking egg in a
hens nest at his home last Fri.
day and brought it to The Pari.
sian Office. The egg is a dark
brown color and the, shell very
rough, having the appearance of
a roasted egg. When broken il
was found to contain a yellow
fluid and no white. 1t looked
for the world like it had been
either partially roasted or soft
boiled.

At a called meeting of the Paris
B. M. G. Monday night, Hon. R.
]. Jones, prominent young at
torney Of this city and member
of the law firm of Lewis & Jones,
was elected secretary of the club
for period of one month. The
Board took this action in order
to have time to consider the sew
eral applications before it for the
place. Among the applications
are several from experienced
men in other cities, besides sew
eral from home men, and to be
sure that no mistake is made and
the right man procured, the
Board will deliberate for one
month more. Mr.. Jones. who is
himself a member of the Board,
agreed to take the work for one
month and will proceed to collect
the first months dues from
members and take care Of the
other duties of the Office until a

CLAFL|N STORES FAIL
FOR OVER s2O,00O,00O

The biggest mercantile failure
in the history of the United
States was precipitated last
Thursday when receivers were
appointed for H. B. Clafin Com
pany of New York. The COM
pany, it is estimated, owes more
than 500, 900, 900 dollars, which
at the present time it is unable
to pay. Its assets are said to be
$44, 900, 900.
John Claflin, head of the COM
pany, and its chief individual
stockholder, is the owner of a
chain of nearly 80 other dry
goods enterprises throughout the
country, which are involved in
the failure. Their business will
be continued under receivers
management until their financial
affairs have been adjusted.
From 3,00v to 5000 banks in
all parts of the United States
compose the bulk of the Clafin
creditors. They hold notes ag-
gregating the major part of the
liabilities. These notes are said
to have been issued by the vari-
Gus Claf1in stores, endorsed by
H. B. Clafin Company and the
proceeds used when discounted
in financing their needs.

HENRY Co. RYE CLUB
MEETS HERE MONDAY

On the first Monday in June a
Rye Club of more than one hun.
dred enthusiastic members was
organized at the courthouse in
Paris, since which time the men,
bership has increased to more
than double that number. At
this meeting a special request
was made by the chairman that
all Democratic voters of the coun-
ty get together and organize dis
trict clubs. This request has
been carried out in various Sec
tions of the county and it is ex-
pected that all these district
clubs will come to Paris Monday
and unite in one tremendous Or
ganization known as the Henry
County Rye Club. There are no
dues or assessments to pay. Just

ton of Democrats with no other
object in view save the carrying
of Henry county for Gen. Rye
and the other Democratic nom-
inees. The Club meets at p. m.

ENGINEER CUT IN TWO
AND FIREMAN SCALDED

A disastrous wreck occurred
about 7::30 Sunday morning at
Moore's Switch, between Tren-
ton and Guthrie, KY, on the l..
& N. railroad, when the tender
of the engine drawing an excur-
sion train carrying 200 people
from Louisville to Hopkinsyille,
jumped the track, causing the
engine to leave the rails and
overturn and three cars to he de-
rallied. Fireman James Webb
was caught under the engine and
cut in two and Engineer John
Haley was scalded and other
wise so badly injured that he
died in a short time. Both these
men were from Bowling Green.
Engineer George Hampton of
Nashville, who was acting as
pilot for the>train, was also bad
ly scalded and his condition is
very serious. About a score of
the passengers were more or less
injured, some of them sustain
ing broken bones and severe cuts
and bruises and nervous shocks,
but reports are that all will re-
cover. The injured were taken
to Guthrie.
Engineer Haley and Fireman
Webb were we'll known in Paris
railroad circles and the sad news
of their untimely death was re-
ceived with sorrow.

COTTON CROP REPORT
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

Reports of correspondents to
The Commercial Appeal indicate
a condition of the cotton crop of
of 1876 per cent of normal. This
compared with TAB on May Is
and represents therefore a gain
by the crop of 4-3 points during
the past month. The figures
also compare with 81.8 on June
25 last year, 80.4 year before
last and a 10-year average of
8O.7.
While the improvement in the
crop has been great, there is
still left much to be desired, as
may be seen by the fact that
condition is still 81 points below
the 1O-year average. Progress
has been very irregular, owing
to the partial character of the
rains that fell over the eastern
section of the belt between June
Is and TO- There is a relatively
large area probably Is per
cent of the total -east Of the
river that has come up since
these rains, while there is still
a small percentage that had not
come up on the date reports were
mailed. The rains, however,
have served to bring about a
considerable improvement in the
crop of the east, taken as a
whole.

the questions he put to the wit

and several stated that they did
not believe he was the man.
Lacy is charged with shooting
Hankins when the latter at
tempted to remove him from the
blind baggage of a passenger
train in the L. & N. yards here
one night in April. 1t seems to
be the contention of the defense,
although they introduced no
witnesses and Lacy did not take
the stand, that someone else
shot Hankins and that Lacy was
not ON the blind baggage on the
night of the shooting.
Twenty citizens of the county
volunteered to make Lacy's bond
and he was Immediately released.
Lacy was arrested about two
weeks ago at Portsmouth, Va,
where he had joined the U. S.
Navy.
