WHICH STORY Is TRUE.

While Reese Hattabaugh of Grange
vile was in the city Monday, he gave
as an excuse for his presence that his
father, I. G. Hattabaugh, had demanded
an opportunity to take a grandchild to
the circus, so he had induced Mrs. Hat
tabaugh to take their small son and
come to Lewiston, entirely for "Grand-
pass pleasure. He had come along to
see that everything went off all right.
I. G. Hattabaugh admits that he was
mighty glad to have the boy come down
and go to the circus with him, but
thinks that his son is shy on telling the
the whole exact truth in neglecting to
give the real reason for the family q
presence, which was to see the circus

William SELLS SHOWS WHAT CAN
Be DONE WITH SPLIT LOG DRAG

four settings of the camera were re-

The effect on the road is past des-
cription, motor tourist from another
state, who happended to pass this way
Monday afternoon, declared the road.
reminded him of fine concrete pave
ment. Surely they were as nearly per-
feet as roads may be, and this is more
astonishing when it is known that our
drag day followed rainy week. An
other remarkable act is noted by mo-
torists, who say, thai IN spite of the
heavy rain at day break on Tuesday,
the roads that were dragged the day be-
fore showed quite dry by eleven a. m.
Tuesday and that automobiles were
scouting over them almost as if no rain
had fallen.
The record reads 1913 drags, 513 horses
hitched to drags; representing at low
estimate, about one hundred Thousand
dollars; miles and miles of almost per
feet roads; hundreds of men, womer
and children will not only profit in &
material way but who are bigger ant

SURE DEATH TO DANDELIoNs.

AS a result of the experiments made
last year by Prof. B. o. Longyear, of
the Colorado Agricultural College, there
has been discovered a positive enemy
of dandelions which have caused much
worry in all sections of the state. A
solution of iron sulphate, sprayed on
the lawns, will absolutely kill the
weeds, yet not injure the grass, and as
on outcome there has been started in
Fort Collins a warfare on the "yellow
peril which promises to be taken up
in all esctions of Colorado. With 20
per cent solution of iron sulphate APP
piled to a plot on the college campus
three times last summer, August 9th, 81
and Sept. %, every dandelion was OBJ
liberated by October /. When the grass
came up the Experiment was proven
and as a result the college has begun a
general campaign against the dande
lions all over the campus and the city
has taken it up. Practically every
householder in the city has the fevor
and is getting the lawns sprayed. Prof.
Longyear recommends that the solution
be put on the lawns with force spray

WHAT IS DONE IN MISSOURI CAN
BE DONE HERE AND rs
BEING DONE.

An example of what little dragging
will do to the roads in this country can
be seen out in the Tolo country near
William Sells place. Here is half
mile of road, that while it has been
dragged only this spring, is in tip-top
shape, like boulevard. During the re-
cent rains it shed water like the back
of duck and when other sections were
all but impossible this half mile
stretch was free from ruts and easy to
travel over. Sells, who comes from
Maitland, Missouri the original home
of the King road drag, is as enthusiast
over the split long drag as the only
tool necessary to make good roads with
and sends us the following clipping
from his home paper describing good
road day held there the last Of May. .
monday was our road drag day
through the Commercial Club the mer-
chants Of Maitland offered gifts of
merchandise as tokens of appreciations
to every man or boy who came to town
on drag Monday. Special prizes were
offered by the banks, for drags which
came the greatest distance by D. Ward
King, for drag constructed most nearly
in accord with the directions found in
U. 8. King Drag Bulletin 321; and by
@. T. Graves for the oldest man driving
drag.
The response of the country folks to
this challenge for commu nifty better
ment offered by the town people was
overwhelming, the calculations of our
most optimistic citizen fell far short.
Imagine the expression Of surprise
when one hundred and sixty eight drags
and teams came marching in.
There were twenty drags in one pro
cession, the streets were blockaded, the
town was swamped, north and south
east and west, in all directions from the
square the farmers and road drags mon.

MONEY BURSTS BANKS.
Max III. Houser, Of Portland, Brings En-
couraging Reports from Middle West.

Portland, June THAT the banks of
the middle west are simply bursting
with money which they are unable to
find demand for, is the statement made
today by Max II. Houser, Portland
grain exporter. MIR. Houser has re-
turned from two weeks trip to the
Atlantic coast.
"Money is very plentiful in che
country banks of the middle west at
this time," says Houser, "because they
are unable to find any demand for it in
New York.
"Crop conditions east of the Rockies
are exceeding good, although perhaps
there has been too much rain, warm
weather is badly needed. Present pros
poets are for big crop in Minnesota
and Dakota.
"With the European countries en-
deavoring to get together and have the
government purchase or at least super
wise all the purchases of wheat, it does
not look very favorable for the pric,
here the coming season. If the Euro
pean governments succeed in their pur.
pose it will have bad effect upon grain
values.
"There is more grain held in Europe
at this time than year ago, even al
the record price now in effect there
The various countries are simply hold
ing this grain for emergency.
"With heavy orders for war goods t,
be filled in August, September an,
October, it means that shipping spac
is going to be very scarce. Charte
rates which looked foolhardy few day
ago are today looking real cheap. Fo
sailer 81 IL shillings has been re
/ fused, and 90 shillings are asked. Tn
price of ships is not likely to show an.
further advance Of moment unless Their
is like rise in the price of grain. TIL
latter does not seem likely, because tn,
United States and Canada will hav
bigger crops than a year ago, an
Europe has surplus on hand.'
