n. P. DAIRY MEETING
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
EXPERTS TO TALK ON ALL
PHASES OF SUBJECT-GEN-
ERAL DISCUSSION,

Special invitations are being sent
by the Thurston County Dairymen's
association to every farmer whose
name appears on the list of patrons
of local creameries, urging them to
attend the big dairy meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce at 1880 Sat-
urday afternoon under the direction
of the Northern Pacific, one of a Sc
ries of meetings it is conducting
throughout Southwest Washington in
its campaign for more and Better
Livestock" While particularly urg-
ing those directly engaged in the
dairy business, the association and
the Northern Pacific are also anxious
that every farmer who can, attend
Saturdays meeting.
Talks will be made by Professor
D. E. ("Farmer") Willard, the
Northern Pacific expert, c. e. Arney,
western immigration agent, and the
representative Of the Pullman State
College who is travelling with the
party, and after these the meeting
will be thrown open to general dis
cussion, when the farmers will be
expected to ask any questions they
may desire about different features
of the dairy business.
In the general discussion of dairy
ing, such subjects as dairy cows, cow
testing, farm feeds, silos, care of milk
and cream, use of by-products, mar
keting problems, and methods of
farming, including the clearing Of
logged-off lands, will be considered,
while an important feature Of the
meeting will be consideration Of the
financing question, ways in which
loans at a satisfactory rate Of inter-
est can be granted farmers for the
purchase of dairy cattle. The meet
ing will occupy most of the after
noon, and business men Of Olympia
as we'll as farmers of the county will
be urged to attend.
The first meeting in the campaign
in this county was held at Yelm Mon
day afternoon, and in spite of the
snowstorm and inclement weather,
bad road conditions and everything
else, a large crowd of farmers gath
cred, the railroad officials reported.
and the meeting lasted for more than
two hours. The farmers were en-
thusiastic, asked lots Of questions
and were very much interested, and
the success of this meeting leads the
railroad officials to believe that the
meeting at the Chamber Of Com
merce Saturday will be large one.

RELIEF FROM SNOW
WILL SOON Be HERE
INDIANS PREDICT "CHINOOK"-
WEEK SEES HEAVIEST SNOW
IN YEARS.

Basing his prediction on the new
moon Thursday and the lunches"
OF the Indians, the local weatherman
promises relief in the next day or two
from the heavy snow-the heaviest
Western Washington has known since
188q-when the Chinook" winds
come, more than likely carrying with
them downpour Of rain that will
make the sidewalks and streets Of
the city seas of slush and the county
roads lakes of mud. The Indians are
the ones who see the warm winds
coming - local weather observers,
even the old-timers, so often mistaken
this winter, have quit guessing what's
going to happen next. but this is the
Indians big moon," and with it.,
they say, always comes the chinook. !"
Relief will be welcomed by every
one in the city and country. Thirty
six years from now "old-timers" will
point back to the "big snow of 1916"
as today they are pointing back to
1880 or still further to the severe
cold spell of 81, that lasted three
months. With the coming of the
Chinook" are also expected heavy
floods, streets and roads as full Of
water and slush and muck as they
are now with snow, railroads tied up
with slides and washouts as they are
now with snow. But the Chinook"
will liberate business once more, will
permit logging camps to resume and
lumber mills to start again, in what
lumbermen say will be the biggest
boom in recent years because Of the
enforced shutdown of the last six
weeks when hardly one-fifth of the
normal cut was made, and the in
creased demand at better prices.
10 Inches of Snow This Week.
Olympia's streets Thursday were
piled waist-high with snow, roofs
were heavily burdened, sidewalks la
boriously cleared; Thurston county
roads, even the best Of them. were
well-nigh impossible and some were
entirely closed. In the storm that
began Monday and ended Wednesday
night, 16 inches of snow fell, accord
ing to Weather Observer Raymond
Holcomb of the state department Of
agriculture, bringing the total snow
fall since the last day of December up
to 31k inches, the deepest snow and
the longest duration-35 days-in
the 20 years that records have been
kept in the local Office.
The weeks snowstorm started in
Monday, the snow falling steadily all
day and being whipped into a bliz-
zard by the strong wind toward even
ing. All Monday night and part of
Tuesday it showed, but that after
noon the wind veered to the south, a
Chinook" set in and it rained stead
lily the rest of the day and through
the night until early Wednesday
morning, when the wind re-shifted
to the north and the heaviest snow of
the season was recorded, 10 inches
during the day.
All traffic was demoralized, though

REV. WILSON DEAD.

BRINGING 1T TO HICKMAN.

The local cotton gins were
crowded with business Saturday.
1t was nothing unusual to see
wagons equipped with lanterns
and other camping outfit; such
wagons coming from many miles
over in Missouri, Tennessee and
Kentucky. The reason, Of course,
was that Hickman gins were pay
ing more than others in this
section-and have been all dur
ing the season. AS the crop is
short, it behooves the cotton
grower to get all he can for his
product, and with good roads he
can haul load large enough to
net him several extra dollars by
coming to Hickman. In 1914 a
1000 pound load of cotton
brought around $1,000; the same
last Saturday pulled down around
$4,000; and from this it will be
easy to see that the local ginners
are paying out almost fabulous
sums daily. King Cotton" is
the bully boy this year.

COUNTY ROADS ARE FINE.

Fulton county can certainly
boast of the best dirt roads in
this or any other State. Under
the present system of road work,
each member of the Fiscal court
is responsible for the work in
his district, and a friendly rival
~ exists between these gentlemen
as to road improvement. 1t is
no longer a question of (which
is the best road to take;' all are
good. Squire Atteberry, of the
Cayee district, is putting the fin
ishing touches on his district, and
from personal observation, we
know the Squire is on the ground
himself directing the work Most
everyone knows that the roads
west of the Nj. Il .. Ry. are In
fine shape, but we want to say
for Squire Browder that his
roads i'm the east end are as slick
and smooth as a silk ribbon.

Every druggist In town your
druggist and everybody drug
gist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. bod

local druggist. Dodson S Liver
Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A
large bottle costs so cents, and
if it fails to give easy relief In
every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson s Liver Tone is a pleas

edy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine; no bill

ROUTED BANDITS ARE
IN VERY SORRY PLIGHT


COLUMBUS, n. NJ. May e.-Afoot
and without proper clothing or food.
the tired broken MexIcans who com
posed the band routed at ojosazules
on Thursday by American cavalry
men, are making their way toward
tie mountains. according TO reports
received here tonight The bandits
scattered in small groups and are
said to be in the vicinity of LlanOs
and headed apparently toward b.
coyna, near the terminal of the Kan
fas City and Orient railway and about
forty miles from Ojosazules. Close
on their heels are picked troops Of
the Eleventh cavalry under Major
Robert l.. Howe.
Further reports indicate that Ma
jor Howze's plan Of surprising and
making captives OF the entire band
was frustrated only by the alertness
Of goat herder. The cavalrymen
had already dismounted and were
closing in on the enemy with their
pistols drawn when the sheep herder
gave the alarm and the Mexican bu-
gle sounded the retreat. The Amer
leans seized number of the villa
mounts and quantity OF arms and
equipment.

CHIEF Carran2a sent message to
General Aware Obregon tonight in
forming the Mexican minister OF war
that he found the agreement with the
United States satisfactory with the
exception of few minor points. 1t
is now believed that the final confer

protocol will be signed. General
Jacinto Trevino. commander of the
department OF the northeast OF Mex

reon tonight. In the meantime 1t is
pointed out here that there is no oc-
casion to become excited over the de-
lay in bringing the negotiations to
an end. The following circumstances
are cited in favor of this view: Re-
ports of an unofficial but reliable ma
ture come from Juarez that notwith-
standing the slackening in the nego-
tiations during the last few days, the
tentative agreement will be endorsed
in the end.
