Mr.. Walker is here on the annual

Captain Wilson Wounded

Boise, Idaho.-A special dispatch
to the Idaho Statesman from No
gales, Ariz., says that Captain H.
W. Wilson, Second Idaho medical
corps, was dangerously shot in the
left thigh Sunday afternoon in the
railroad station at Nogales, Ariz.,
by Carranza Mexican soldier, who
fired from a position in front of
the Bank of Sonora, on the Mexican
side of the international boundary.
The soldier was seen running away.
Captain Wilson had just checked
his trunk for Twin Falls, Idaho, his
home, where he was going on a 30
day furlough. Excitement is at
fever heat among the guardsmen.
the correspondent said.
Following the shooting, the No
gales dispatch continued, Captain
Wilson was rushed to the base hos
pital, where he was attended by
Captain Pittenger and Major Con-
ant.
The guard on the border was i'm
mediately increased, sentries being
stationed 80 feet apart.
Army officers here say it is the
first case during the border trouble
of an American officer being shot
on American soil by an assailant
from the Mexican side.

Grain Car Shortage

The Lewiston valley and tribut-
ary territory are feeling the effects
of the car shortage, which is en-
barrassing the movement of grain.
On the Camas Prairie line, from
Reparia to Grangeville, the short
age amounted to 169 cars. sc of
which should have been furnished
by the Northern Pacific and 83 by
the O.-W. R. & N. company. The
O.-W. R. & N. company is operat-
ing steamers on the Snake river re-
moving grain from the river ware
house not reached by rail to the
three railway transfers at Lewiston,
Crum and Riparia, and the short
age of cars is beginning to hamper
the boat operations, as the avail
able transfer storage room is over
flowing, with no apparent hope of
relief.

Raises Seed Beans

Chris Dunn has started something
new on his farm seven miles south
of Troy ON Driscoll Ridge. This
year he is raising Is acres of beans
for Spokane seed house, and the
experiment is proving so successful
that already experts representing
Spokane and Portland seed houses
have announced that there will be
200 acres of beans for seed raised
in that particular neighborhood.
Of the seed beans raised by Mr..
Dunn this year 10 acres are of the
black variety and five acres of the
brown. They have done exception
ally we'll and as the price is good
the profits will be satisfactory.
Agents of seed houses inspected the
crop while it was growing and de-
clared that the conditions for bean
raising were the best they had
found anywhere in their travels.
1t is certain that nice industry is
to grow up along this line on Dris-
coll Ridge.
Mr.. Dunn is not depending Who'll
ly on seed beans, however. He has
80 acres of fine navy beans on his
place this year. Of this acreage he
has raised so himself. He is conf
dent the yield will run from 700 to
750 pounds to the acre and he ex-
poets to sell his crop for not less
than five cents a pound, Even at
700 pounds to the acre this would
mean $1750 for his bean crop.
They are all thoroughly matured
and half of them in the stack. Next
year he will go into bean raising
much more extensively as he has
all the needed machinery purchased
and paid for.-Post.

UNIVERSITY. WILL
''-"'' LEND End BOOKS
Value of a Book Lies in Its
Use

The library committee Of the uni
versity of Idaho believes that the
value of a book lies in it's use and
would therefore like to call the at
tention of the people of the state of
Idaho to the fact that the library
will lend any reading material in its
possession to other institutions or to
individuals of the state. There is no
charge to those borrowing except
the price of sending and returning
the material. The time limit is one
month, provided the books are not
needed by the students Of the uni
versity, in which case it will be
necessary to ask that the books be
returned before the expiration of
the time. An extension of the
usual period, however, may be
granted to those requesting it, SUBJ
ject to the above restriction. If
the material asked for is not in the
library, it may occasionally be pos
sible to borrow it from other in
stitutions.
So far as limited funds and books
will permit, the university library
will also help in the answering of
general reference questions and
will write letters of advice to those
communities wishing to organize
libraries. Requests will receive
prompt attention and it is hoped
that Idaho people will patronize
their library and obtain the maxi
mum use of its books and service.
For those living in Moscow or
nearby or for strangers passing
through the town, attention is call
ed to the excellent collection of
periodicals in the reading room and
to the library hours Of opening
7:45 a. m. to 500 .. m. and 7:3O
to 1000 p. m. every day, except
Sundays and Saturday evening.

acid will now take place. This is
accomplished by bacteria which
must have air in order to work and
which thrive best at temperature
of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The
time necessary for this action to
become completed varies from to
9 months, depending upon the tenn
perature at which it is kept and
the ratio of the amount of surface
exposed to the air to the volume of
liquid. If the liquid is in a large
cask but only a few inches in depth,
the action is much more rapid than
if the barrel is full. When the
action is completed, fill the barrels,
cork tightly and store in a cool
cellar.

kENDR|CK FAIR
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Big Crowds Attend on Last
Day

The Kendrick Fair and Harvest
Festival was very successful this
year. The fair association reports
a small surplus in the treasury af-
ter paying all expenses. This is an
unusual occurance for the fairs here
as the association usually expects
deficit.
The exhibits were good and too
much credit cannot be given to the
farmers who so loyalty assisted the
committee by bringing in their
farm products for display. 1t was
a very busy time for everyone as
the bean harvest was in full sway,
but many farmers stopped their
work long enough to bring in veg
etables, fruits and grain to help
fill up the tables in the pavilion.
A large crowd attended Friday in
spite of the busy season and every
one appeared satisfied with the
attractions offered. The ideal
weather conditions greatly added to
the DAYS pleasure.
The livestock department was a
failure, owing to the fact that those
who had blooded stock to bring in
were too busy to take the time re.
quired to put the stock on exhibi.
tion. The small bunch of stock at
the fair did not properly represent
the Potlatch country by any means,
as there is some splendid stock in
this section-as good as can be
found anywhere.
The fair committe wishes to take
this opportunity to express its
thanks to Mr.. Sinsel for the service
rendered the fair by putting in a dis
play of packed fruit and giving
demonstrations of packing, spray
ing and the general care of fruit.
He showed the fruit growers an
absolutely sure method of killing
scale, something that should be of
vital interest to every fruit grower
in this section.
The display of potatoes was un-
usually good and probably could
not be surpassed anywhere. There
were a great many different varie.
ties exhibited and they were all of
splendid quality.
All of the exhibits were good and
the farmers of the Potlatch have
reason to feel proud of the display
of farm products and should con.
gratulate themselves on the booster
spirit which they showed in helping
to make the fair a success.

CREWS ARE BUSY
ON THE SURVEY
Find Reeds Creek Grade a
Heavy One

Advices from the Clearwater dis
-trict show that the two railroad
crews placed in the field about two
months ago by the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road are still
engaged in their work. The crew
which started out of Elk River to
run a line down Elk Creek to Big
Island on the North Fork is SEEM
ingly now engaged in permanent
location work, having apparently
secured satisfactory grade, but
the second crew on Reeds creek is
still employed running preliminary
lines. 1t seems that the latter crew
has been unable to get a better
grade than three per cent up Reeds
creek from the river and is said to
be running line on this heavy
grade. Reeds creek enters the
North Fork a short distance above
Big Island and it's headquarters are
in the timber belt contiguous to
Pierce City.
Statement is made that it is the
hope of the company that the sur
veys can be fully completed before
early SHOWS may drive out the crews.
1t is generally understood that
the railroad company, due to ar
rangements made with the Clear
water Timber company and the
Scofeld interests, has decided to
build this railroad if the cost comes
within specific sum, and it is fur
ther known that the preliminary
estimate of the engineers indicates
this condition can be met. The
work has disclosed that an eminent
ly satisfactory line has been found
down Elk Creek to the North Fork
and the only doubtful condition is
that which applies to securing a
satisfactory line up Reeds creek.
That President Weyerhauser is
keeping in close touch with the sit
uation is indicated by the follow
ing article appearing in last week S
issue of the Elk River Sentinel:
''John P. Weyerbauser, president
of the Clearwater Timber company,
accompanied by A. w. Laird, gen.
eral manager, and M. L. Seymour,
mill superintendent of the Potlatch
company, came in Tuesday on bus
mess. Mr.. Weyerhauser was Sc
curing information for future use
and during much of his stay was
immersed in maps and blue prints.
Before leaving Wednesday after
noon for the coast he stated that he
was still unable to say what the
Clearwater company would do, or
when. 1t has its plans fairly well
blocked out, but they depend on
others so much that he is unable tc
state anything definite for publica
tion. The company's plans will
permit it to make any one of half 6
dozen arrangements if circum
stances should make a change nee
es,%y. ."-Trihune.
