The harvest in Dickinson county
will begin about the first week IN
July. So far, floods have mercifully
sighted Dickinson county and the
wheat crop in spite of the Hessian
fly and wet weather, will be large.
Dickinson county will not need
r1any additional men for harvest
this year, as many men have come
to the county and already have
found work on the farms until the
harvest season opens. Many of the
threshing crews are managed by
home men also.
II the farmers who do need hands
will telephone or write to Secretary
Brewer of the Commercial club, he

night her people became anxious
about her, and started a search
party. Sheriff Hassler was called
but was out of the city when the
call came. When the city marshal
of Enterprise, who was notified,
telephoned the house where Rose
stayed to learn his whereabouts,
Rose was told that the officers were
after him. This morning early the
sheriff went to Enterprise, but Rose
had escaped.
The girl was brought here, and
may be made ward of the probate
court. She knows she did wrong,
she says.

High Water Now
in the Smoky Hill

line railroad station at Aida, north
of Junction City, are lodged against
the U. P. bridge and have pushed It
far out of line. The high water has
washed away one fill Of the bridge
also. Between Junction City and
Fort Riley a big section of the track
is washed out and a current is
sweeping over the roadbed. Plug
trains ran between Junction City
and Salina today. Train No. 11s
went through last night before the
washout and about 1:40 o'clock and
this was followed by a Rock Island
Colorado train about Q o'clock. No.
101, U. p, was annuled.
No report on U. p. No. 10S was
obtained this afternoon. Nos. 102
and 1O4, eastbound, are being held
at salina until arrangements are
made to detour them over the Santa
Fe or Missouri Pacific to Kansas
City.
The branch line trains out OF
Junction City are annulled. The
Plainville branch out Of Salina runs
only as far as Penokee, the first
station beyond Hill City.
On the Rock Island, the Colorado
trains today came over the U. P.
to Abilene and switched to their
own tracks here. The line is open
to Topeka. A. N. Sites, local agent,
says.
On the Santa Fe the road is open
to Superior, Neb., and the trains are
running from Topeka to Abilene over
the Strong City branch without be-
ing seriously hindered by high water.

ans have secured further reinforce
ments and moved to Butler wash, .
miles west of Bluff. At that point
they are terrifying themselves against
any attacks.
The posse is forming with as many
as are available, leaving number
behind to protect the town In case
1t is attacked. Indian guides nave
been secured to show the posse the
most probable hiding places OF the
bands of Indian fighters.
Butler wash is the second wash TO
the west of Bluff and the country be-
tween Bluff and the wash Is quite
open. The wash is extremely rocky
and the sides are precipitous, where
the main roads cross, leading into
the oil fields and to the road that
leads to the Navajo reservation and
the trails to New Mexico and Arizo
ma, 1t is along this road that the In
dian police from Shiprock will have
to come in. There are number
of places where the wash can be
crossed, but 1t affords an excellent
hiding place. About three miles be
yond Butler wash Is Comb, wash
,, which is a long eneampment. This
would also afford an excellent hid
ing place.

RICHMOND -
FOLK ENTER
HOG BUSINESS
Farmers Have Joined Hands In Rails.
Ing Purebred Berkshire
so Hogs

c. l.. Funk, of Richmond was In
the county seat yesterday and in talk.
ing of the activities about Richmond
this spring, says a number OF the
farmers Of that section have asso.
ciated themselves together in what
is known as the Richmond Berkshire
Breeders Association. The aim is to
run this business In connection with
the dairy industry and make Of Rich
mond a center for Berkshire hogs
There are already to be found at the
lively little town up north, some OF
the best Berkshire hogs IN the coun
try, in fact the Baltimore Farm is no
ted all over the west for this breed
of hogs. There are about ten farm
ers who have begun the raising OF
Berkshires. Some OF the best stock
that was obtainable has recently been
imported from Iowa. II can be seen
that the progressive farmers OF Rich
mond expect to be leaders in hogs
as we'll as in dairy cattle.
Owing to the scarcity of water for
late irrigation, Richmond has not
been doing as much in beet raising
and potato growing as other sections
of the country, therefore in order to
show they can be leaders in some
things they have entered the live
stock business and We dare say they
will make a 90 OF 1t.

UTAH FRUITS JARED WELL
Garvln Says Quality Of 1914 Crop
Was Excellent and Demand
Gratifying

Salt Lake, Feb. 23.-Utah Jared
exceedingly well on its fruit crop
for 1914 as compared with other fruit
producing states, In the opinion oil
w. II. Garvin, general manager OF
the Utah Fruit Growers association,
who returned TO Salt Lake yesterday
after a trip through the central,
southwestern and Pacific coast states.
Mr.. Garvin visited the commission
merchants In Omaha, Kansas City,
Topeka and cities Of Texas who han
died Utah fruits last season, and on
the whole there was but little COM
plant on the quality Of the Utah pro-
duct.
In some cases, he said, there was
complaint over the condition ana
quality of the fruit and as to pack
ing, but In most Of these it was due
TO inexperience rather than poor
fruit, and he said this condition Will
be remedied by the system employed
the Fruit Growers association in pre-
pairing fruit for shipment.
THE last year was bad one for
the fruitgrowers," said Mr.. Garvin
every section of the country had a
wonderful crop which, OF course, re-
duced prices to the lowest possible
margin. Then, too, the general II
nancial condition Of the country was
not such as to encourage speculative
buying and merchants were loath to
allow their customers to buy more
goods than they could actually pay
| for in cash. This had tendency tc
keep down prices and the season on
the whole, was not satisfactory. The
bountiful crops in 1914, however, tend
to a lesser crop in 1915, and in the
coming season | look for smaller
crop and better prices. Utah fruit
has a good reputation and will fnt
a ready market"
Mr.. Calvin visited the exposition
| in San Francisco before his return
| to Salt Lake. and said 1t Is all thai
could be expected. "The fair Ii
wonderful" said Mr.. Garvin, "and ev
| cry person who visits 1t will get his
moneys worth. have visited
number Of worlds fairs, but never
have seen anything to compare will
