Tswn Last Sunday.

The weather dispenser seemed to
take cognizance of the fact that a
ball game was on the string for Sum

national game brand. The Nezperce
irregulars and several of the faithful
rooters got together early in the
morning and deposited themselves
ia rigs for the long drive-some 20
niles---to the Clearwater county seat.
They had pleasant trip and arrived
on The river in good condition for a
hearty dinner.
The boyswere early on the grounds
and got at good tryout before the
game started. When Mr.. White,
the umpire, and he was white um-
pire. too, called 'splay ball, " most OF
0rofnO was apparently on hand to
witness the proceedings.

looked like the Orc lads were going

LEWIS CO. STRONG ON
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Over 10, 500 Acres Put In Alialia and

Sseiiea. --crsan Expert


This season local dealers have
imported and sold to farmers ia shil

500 pounds of clover and alfalfa
seedi or io5,o 300 pounds OF cloves
seed and So. 600 OF alfalfa seed.
Allowing 10 pounds 10 the acre,
which ia generally considered very
liberal amonut. this would mean thai
our farmers have taken up with the
diversified crop idea to the extent OF
planting 1850 OF their very valu-
sDle acres TO these grasses this year.
The result will, therefore, be
watched with great interest, and II
they come up 10 expectations the
next years seeding to these crops
will go tar beyond these figures. And
even IL the farmers do not realize 50
much Ia immediate returns from
these crops as from grain, they will
beat summer fallowing and leave the
soil In 30 much better condition for
grain that their extensive contlnuance
Is practical certainty. Tsis being
the case, there need be little fear Of
grand old Nezperce prairie ever
wearing out, a. has been the result
In all countries where grain was the
exclusive crop.
OF course, 10 gel the best results
from the alfalfa and clover planting
more live stock must be handled, and
two indications that this fact is being
acted upon are the increased ship
ment Of hogs and butter fat from
this point.
We have not the figures ut hand
on the hog shipments. but the local

the past 90 days they have sent 10

STATE IS READY FOR
 TRIAL OF ]. C. OAKLEY AT CAPITAL MONDAY
Former Head of Convict Bureau Faces Charge of Embedding $74,OO0 of
 States Funds

Montgomery. March 7.--(Special )-The state of Alabama is ready for the trial of James G. Oakley. former president of the convict department, who is under in- dictment in several counties of Alabama charging the embezzlement and. larceny of state funds amounting to nearly sl0o,- 600.
 This announcement was made tonight by attorneys for the state, who will prose cute Oakley when he Is tried fin the Mont gomery city court next Monday on in- dictments charging the embezzlement of $7400o.
 Altogether, Oakley Is under nearly one dozen indictments In Montgomery county. and it has not been ascertained which case will be tried first.
 The attorneys for the state maintain that he will be tried under every indict- ment.
 Whether or not Oakley acted as an ac- eomplice of Theodore Lacy sentenced to 10 years Imprisonment for the embezzle- ment of s50000 of state funds, will prob- ably be brought out in tho trial of the former head of the convict bureau.
 Public opinion points strongly to Oak ley's connection with Lacy's crime.
 Oakley is not expected to offer any ex- cuse for non-appearance in court when his case is called Monday 1t is believed that he will be present. He has already brought upon his head the condemnation of the public by his failure to appear at court in Shelby county, when he was to have been tried on the charge of embez- zlying more than S35o0 of state funds and by his failure to appear in Montgomery for his trial on last Wednesday. Oak ley's excuse was that he was too sick to attend court, but the statement of five physicians of Birmingham declared that he was in good healthl
 It is. therefore, believed that Oakley will not again attempt to evade the law, and 1t Is expected that he will be pres- ent on next Monday when his case is called. He Is charged with complicity in the embezzement of funds by Lacy and with the embezzlement and larceny of funds approximately equal to the amount stolen by his former chief clerk.
