the one hundred years that have
elapsed since the historic expedition
of Lewis and Clarke to the northwest,
the Neg Perces tribe has diminished
from 5000 to 1900. The present tu-

GOOD ROADS DAY AT MAAeUH
Every Wednesday the Men Turn Out
and Work the Highways

Wednesday of each week Is good
roads day in Mangum and on that
day business and professional men Of
the city close up their stores and Of
fees and with pick and shovel, go
forth to improve the roads leading
into the city. From four to six hun
dred men are to be found at work
each Wednesday.
The local high school and the West
ern Baptist college suspend opera
tions for the day and the students
take part In the booster movement.
On some days as much as twelve
miles has been put into almost per-
feet condition. The farmers knowing
that the stores are closed. do not go
to town on Wednesday now except to
take part in the highway movement.
Business men are determined that the
city will present, within a short time,
the best roads in western Oklahoma.
The operations extend out as far as
ten miles in all directions. All own
ers OF automobiles donate their cars
for use on the road days, conveying

majestic. The beautiful curving snow
ridge, which is the mountains chief
distinction, was seen throughout its
length from the summit to the gla-
cier, which latter, from its steep in.
clination, was broken throughout by
numerous ice-falls and gaping Gre
vases. We were at height OF over
ten thousand feet and less than four
miles from the mountain, and could
see In a moment that we occupied the
finest possible point of view and the
only near position from which its
grand northern face could be seen.
/ The view towards the north was in
describably imposing. The whole of
the central PENNIES from Mont Blanc
to the Matterhorn were free from
cloud. Seen from southern view
point there is never any doubt as to
the absolute predominance of the
Great White mountain, and from here
her height and bulk fairly dwarfed all
others. Now, while scores OF noun
tains separated by intervals OF hun
dreds Of miles we're clear the one for
which the ascent was made was not.
In Alpine photography this is almost
invariably the case. Faint mists
formed in the vicinity were driven
against the summit and speedily de-
veloped to enormous dimensions;
these disappeared and others took
their place. Patience, however, was
ultimately rewarded, and for a few
minutes the welcome sun rays poured
over the ridge, striking the tops OF
the seracs and filling the crevasses
with a thousand shadows. The fore
ground had already been chosen, and
the exposures we're made just in time
to escape mass of cloud that COW
cred the summit for the rest of the
day. All this consumed much time,
and 1t was late afternoon before we
left the summit. We we're scrambling
over these rocks In semi-darkness
when the figure Of man suddenly
materialized on a neighboring ridge.
He carried gun slung bandoleer fash.
ion across his back, and further as.

poachers, and thought you were after

as bitterly disappointed. He had seen

Hottest peak in Italy. We toiled up
this valley the following morning

lateness of the season, were unten-
anted by man or beast. They stood in
full view of the grand Tribulation
glacier, assuredly we'll named, for its
many-mile expanse presents a con-
tinuous series of icefalls and huge
seracs. The plight OF a climber lost
amid this desolation would be desper-
ate indeed, and every gaping crevasse
would remind him Of quicker route
to the other world than that afforded
by the slopes of the Grand Paradis
rising above. The next few days were
chiefly spent In abortive attempts to
photograph the Grivola. Like the
Weisshorn at Zermatt, 1t is a noun

cradle height to judge its position.

maps and the ignorance OF the ma.

neighboring SUBMITS In turn. Wequick-
ly found that the Pointe de Pousset,
which has been termed the Gornegrat
Of Cogne, was certainly the best posi-

more northerly and lofty summit.
On the last occasion we started out
at a. M, for we had to descend sew
eral miles to the village of Epinal be-
fore starting on the real additional
climb of 5000 feet. By nine o'clock
we were clear of the forest region
and entered savage but sublime DESC
lation. To the north the snow-hecked
submits of the Mont Emelius and
the Becca di Mona lowered grandly
into the cloudless sky, while the rocky
ridges around mounted into towers
and spires of infinite variety.
At the pass we we're saluted by an
icy gale from the north, which in
creased In intensity as we scrambled
up the shattered rocks that formed the
last 800 feet of the ascent. The wind
fairly whistled among the crags, and

$1,000 SPENT IMPROVING ROAD
Jefferson County Now Claims to Have
Fine System Of Highways.

Jefferson county now claims to have
eighteen miles of as good roads as
there are in the state. Since the
winter rains the automobile thorough
fare leading to the oil fields in the
eastern part of the county has been
dragged and put in excellent condition
and motorists assert 1t Is one of the
best dirt roads in the state.
The business men Of Waurika have
donated literally to good roads fund
and are now advocating move with
Cornish, a town twenty-five miles east
of there, for a good roads day when
the business men of the two towns
shall get together and work the roads.
Over $4,000 has been expended on JEFF

days and the improved condition is

CORN sILAeE FOR STEERS. :

Bulletin 1874 Of the Pennsylvania EX-
pertinent station sums up the results
Of steer feeding experiments as fol-
lows:
Corn silage at $3.50 per ton is more
economical as sole roughage for
feeding steers than combination of
silage and mixed hay when hay is
valued at $1,000 per ton.
Corn silage was found more pala-
table for fattening steers than ear
corn, which makes 1t necessary to linn
II the amount of silage in the ration In
order to insure the greatest gain in
flesh during the finishing period.
After paying farm prices for other
feeds consumed, the steers fed silage
as a sole roughage returned $1.469 per
bushel of corn. Those fed silage and
mixed hay as a sole roughage returned
$1.30S per bushel.
The margin necessary between the
buying and selling prices was 81 cents
and II cents per hundred pounds live
weight
Steers returned 1928 more per head
for feed consumed when followed by
hogs in the feed lot.
Net profits received from expert.
mental feeding cattle under Pennsyl
vania conditions, not including pork
produced, during the winter of 1912
1918 ranged from $11.224 per head for
steers fed silage and hay to $14.095
per head for steers fed corn silage as
a sole roughage.

HABITS OF KAFlR. +
+

Kafr removes the moisture from
the soil when Indian corn can no long
er secure it.
Hot winds and lack of moisture may
wither and curI' the leaves during the
day, but the plants are freshened dur
ing the night.
1t stands still in its growth In a
season Of severe drought, but when
the rains come growth is continued,
heads fill with seed and a good crop
is harvested.
Plants grow erect Az to 6a feet
high. The leaves, nine to fourteen in
number, are heavy, broad, and dark
green colored. Seed heads are erect
and frequently measure IA to 10 inches
in length.
The joints of the stems are short
and thick and offer great resistance
to the wind.
Kafir is a warm weather crop and
nothing is gained by early planting.
1t is best planted week to ten days
later than Indian corn.
1t suffers great injury from weeds
during the early stages of growth.
Kafir often will yield well when
planted in fields on which Indian corn
or wheat have been destroyed by
flooding or drought.
1t grows until late in the fall and
the soil does not have chance to
get in best condition for the succeed
ing crop. Kafir makes demands on
the soil late into the fall.
