ALL INDIANS
 IN COMPANY r
With the Exception of Com missioned Officers, Local Guards Company Com prised of Well Drilled, Full-Blooded Indians

One of the features of the National Guard encampment this year will be the attendance of Co. r of Phoenix, an organization that. with the eX- ception of the three commissioned of- ficers, is composed entirely of In dians. There are seVenty-fOur full blooded Indians enlisted and Captain George II. Shea is already assured of going to camp with not less than fifty-fiVe of these which would make his company number seventeen above the minimum number required.
 Not alone does this company, which was organized on June s of this year, enjoy the distinction of being the only exclusively Indian company in the regiment, but it is also the pride of the regiment because of it's eX- ceptional training. All the enlisted men have been in government Indian schools from four to six years each and have profited by the dIscipline and military training of these schools. Three of them are former students of Carlisle.
 At the time of the organization of the company George II. Shea was elected captain; Lee T. Holsworth, first lieutenant, and F. Louis Zini merman, second lieutenant These comprise the commissioned officers of the company and they will all be in attendance at the encampment.
 Captain Cromwell Stacey. U. $. A., inspector instructor assigned to Ari- xona, is quoted as saving that the company is one of the best drilled in the National Guard and that he believes it would make an excellent showing in competitive drilling or any branch of the service as against almost any company of the National Guard in the country. The officers of the company feel this way, too, and not only expect to return his year with the reeimental pennant offered as a prize for competitive drilling, but also offer to challenge any com, pany in the United States in a con petitive drill.
 The company, too, claims to have the best trumpeter on the regiment, in the person of Fernando Rodriguez, who in civilian life is a stenographer and Dookkeeper for the Standard OE company in this city.
 All the enlisted members of the company take more than ordinary pride in their enrolment in the corl- I.any, not only because of their eff ciency but also because from the moment of their enlistment they be- came citizens of the United States and were no longer wards of the government.

FORTS ARE INTACT
Germans Claim Immense Advantage
 In Capture of Warsaw Notifications
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl


 BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The forts of Warsaw have fallen virtually undam- aged into the hands of the Germans, according to information here. The defenses of Ivangorod, however, were destroyed by the Russians before retirement It appears that compara- tivelyS few prisoners were taken and little booty.
 Some disappointment was expressed among German people over the fail ure of the Teutonic forces to make an imposing capture of prisoners and guns at Warsaw. but military experts do not share that feeling. They point out as of real significance the cap ture of two fortresses. The Russians thereby lost the fortified base of operations which gave them such an immense advantage in the earlier movements in Poland. This advant- age is now transferred to the Ger mans who can utilize them either for defensive strategy or to facilitate a further offensive.

THAT IT BE CUT BE.
FORE TOO RIPE TO PRESERVE.
IT'S VALUES FOR MILLING.

Marquis wheat demands a better
price in this section and in the middle
west and eastern sections that blue stem
for milling purposes according to the
statement of Robert Abel, of the Lew
iston Milling Company and printed in
Wednesdays Tribune. The Marquis
wheat is the new variety of spring
wheat brought to the Lewiston country
two years ago by the Lewiston Milling
Company and the yield in this section is
estimated at 100000 bushels.
There are large acreas of Marquis in
Idaho, Lewis and Nezperce counties and
the prospects for a bumper yield are
very bright. There are few fields of
Marquis around Grangeville, but around
Cottonwood and Ferdinand and in the
Winona and Greenereek countries there
is large acreage sown. While the
variety is a spring wheat it has been
grown as fall and winter wheat in

ROY MEAD DISCHARGED.
Evidence Held Not Sufficient to Sus.
tain Charge of Grand Larceny.

The preliminary hearing of Roy Mead
of the keuterville section on a charge
OF appropriating three head of cattle
belonging to Henry Nuttmann came up
for hearing before Probate Judge L.
NJ. Harris, Tuesday at 10 o'clock and
consumed most of the day. When the
state concluded its testimony a motion
for dismissal made by w. L. Campbell
who appeared for the defendant was
overruled by Judge Harris and the de-
fense then put five witnesses on the
stand, including Roy and his brother
George. Judge Harris dismissed the
case.
The facts showed that three head of
Henry huffman s cattle were found in
Roy Mead s pasture and it was alleged
that Roy drove them in with some other
cattle he was pasturing. There was no
evidence to sustain this contention how
ever nor to uphold the necessary ele-
ment of criminal intent to steal the
stock. The arrest followed quarrel be-
tween the defendant and Mead and dur,
ing which Mead ordered Henry Mutt
mann off the place. The state intro
duced the testimony of seven witnesses
and the defense five.

AGRICULTURAL SPECIALISTS HELD
SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS monday

| three cows, Durham stock, which are
being used as a basis for establishing a
milking strain of stock by Tom Bales
and both Prof. Willard and Prof Idd-
ings were unanimous in agreement as
to the good qualities of the three head,
one of which is a three year old heifer
and the other two, cows, one with calf
at her side and all three having been
bred to the bull.
| From the Bales ranch the party went
to the ranch of o. B. Perkins near the
f'airview school house to inspect his
herd of dairy stock. o. B. Perkins is
one of the most progressive dairy farm
ers on the prairie and is devoting his
entire attention to this line of farming
his preference being Holsteins and in
this line he has thoroughbred three
year old bull which won the highest
praise from both Willard and Iddings.
thoroughbred yearling Holestein bull
which has exceptionally good points,
several thoroughbred Holstein heifers,
and fifteen calves to show for this year
of which a majority are pure bloods,
the rest being half blood Holsteins.
For Mr.. Perkins, both of the visiting
specialists had many words of praise.
Mr.. Perkins has pulled away from the
summer fallow fallacy and makes every
acre of ground on his place produce
every year and everything produced is
fed on the place to the stock Glover
and corn take the place of the former
unyielding summer fallow tract The
corn also shows up well and the seed :,
was sent to Mr.. Perkins by Mr.. Willard
as present from the N. p. railway.
John Long is another prairie farmer
who received some of the corn and has
had success in raising it on his ranch at
the foothills. Others, including Mrs.
Ramsdell west of Grangeville, are rails
ers of corn and illustrating its possi-
bilities as a future crop here on the
prairie. Besides the praise at the hands
of the visiting specialists Mr.. Perkins
also has something to show for the
greater efficiency attained on his farm,
and the greater profits realized and
this may be found in the figures writ
ten on his cream checks.
The purpose of the meetings has been
to develop interest in diversified farm

PRAISE FOR sHERIFFs' OFFICE.

The sheriffs office in this county
seems to be after the criminals both
day and night, and are successful in bag
ging the game as they go along. We
have no doubt that if our neighboring
county officials would get busy that in
the near future farmers could turn their
stock out without fear of losing them,
as it is now, stock is not safe under
lock and key. Other officials along
the liquor route are busy too. There is
only one way and that is enforce the
law and if it works an injustice on peo-
pie it will soon be epealed.-Kooskia

HAS SOME BERRIES.

Johnny Byers came in from the poor
farm today and brought in several clus-
ters of everbearing straw berries. Each
one of the clusters had some monster
ripe berries on them, from ten to twelve
berries which were on the road to ma
turity and buds and blossoms promising
further fruit. Besides the size, the
berries have some flavor and best of
all they bear four months and better
each year and up to the time the frost
comes in the fall John raised some
thing in the potato line last year that
excelled and he promises another like
crop this year. He is one of the farm
ers that get most out of the soil and
does not believe in exclusive grain
farming or summer fallow. He believes
in clover and alfalfa and agrees with
Prof. Shaw in his teachings and their
applicability to this section.

MARQUIS WHEAT YIELDS WELL
/. AND IN DEMAND FOR MILLING

the Lewiston country with good success.
One thing which Mr.. Abek mentioned
in his statement in the Tribune was that
this valuable variety should be harvest
ed before it becomes too ripe or its
value for milling wheat will be de-
preciated or destroyed Mr.. Abel re-
commends that the wheat be cut when
it is in the stiff dough-. when most
farmers would say that it was too
green; but it will ripen in the shock
and develop its greatest milling value.
The milling company has sent sample
heads to many prairie offices SO that
they may be harvested at the right
time.
y Some reports of yields in the lower
country have come in and Marquis
wheat yielded 45 bushels on the farm of
William Bozarth in the Culdesac coun-
try. Club wheat yielded about the
same and barley is yielding 70 to 70
bushels per acre. No smut to any con-
siderable extent has been discovered in
the grain this year and the new Mar
quis wheat is absolutely free from it.
