Newport, Oregon, July 4.-(Special
to the Capital JournaD Newport has
become the mecca for numerous auto
mobile parties during the past two
weeks. In fact, one of the most notice
able features of the season thus far is
the increasing automobile traffic to
the beach. During the week just
passed, cars have arrived from Enter
prise and Moro in eastern Oregon, sew
eral from Washington and one from
North Dakota. The road between here
and Corvallis has been considerably
improved since last year and motoring
is not beset with the same difficulties.
The route through the Siletz Basin,
starting from Falls City, will become
popular with the motorist this summer,
it is believed. To advertise this route,
party of automobiles from Falls City
and Dallas will drive to Newport dur
ing the next few weeks. This road
abounds with some of the finest noun
tain scenery in the state. Good hunt
ing and fishing are also afforded. The
trip can be easily made in a day. The
route passes through the Siletz Indian
Reservation with its many attractions
to the tourist.
Adequate garage facilities are avail
able in Newport

Pierre.-Improvements to the Da-
kota Central railroad line, which will
cost about $500 have been started
by the Great Northern system, new
owner Of the old Dakota Central, which
operates between Sioux Falls and
Waterloo, S. d. The work of improv-
ing the road is under the supervision
of James A. McKimmon, superinten.
dent of the Sioux City division of the
Great Northern road.
Five work gangs, consisting of about
200 men, have been put to work OF the
line, strengthening the roadbed and
replacing ties. Fifty thousand ties
will be laid as rapidly as possible. 1t
is estimated that the road will be
placed in fairly good condition in about
two months.
Sioux City officials of the road de-
clare that the Dakota line was in such
condition when purchased that it vas
hardly safe for traffic. AS a result,
n of the daily passenger trains and
a Sunday train have been temporarily
discontinued.
Numerous complaints have been ex,
pressed by commercial bodies in both
Sioux Falls and Waterloo because of
the reduction In the service. Some OBJ
lection also has been expressed be.
cause the dispatching OF trains has
been transferred to Sioux City.
Sioux City officials said that when
the road is put in condition for heavier
traffic, better accommodations will
be provided as there is a demand. 1t is
believed that within about sixty days
the bridges which are dangerous can
be rebuilt and wornout ties replaced
Heavier rolling stock and other equip.
ment will be provided.

Small Grain Injured.

Sioux Falls.-While the hot weather
throughout South Dakota has been
beneficial for corn. some fields of small
grain have been injured by the ex-
cessive heat, the temperature for day
after day. with the exception of one
rainy period extending over a day,
having ranged from so degrees up
ward. The injury to small grain thus
far reported is in limited areas in the
interior Of the state. 1t Is stated that
the fields which show damage are
those which were sown very late or
those which were not properly cultivat.
ed. Small grain which was sown well
and which was given necessary care, is
said to be withstanding the hot
weather very well. Following several
damp mornings, there were reports of
the appearance of rust in limited To-
c~alities in the state, but this by no
means is general, and it is believed the
hot and dry weather has removed ali
danger of the further spread Of rust.

Wanted. an Elephant.

ThesHasty Pudding club of Harvard
was recently reported to be In some
distress because of the lack of two
sturdy actors capable of good team
work in playing the part Of an ele-
plant In the clubs annual spring
show. The original selection for the
front legs was dismissed from college
on account Of low marks, and the hind
legs became discouraged and resigned.
Probably a peculiar combination ct
athletic skill and comic talent is re-
CURED for the proper representation
of a stage elephant, and it may be a
thankless task that college amateurs
in general are unwilling to tackle. An
actor disguised as one-half of an ele-
plant seems to lose much of his indi-
~viduality. But the fore and aft por-
ton of n quadruped offers a fine
chance for an ambitious young actor
to start a brilliant career. Henry K.
Dixey began his stage life as the hind
legs of the heifer In "Evangeline."-

Men harness themselves to the work

unnatural ways. The harness they
put on Is antiquated. A rough, Ill
fitting collar, at best, they make its
strain and friction past enduring by
placing it where the neck is most
sensitive; and by mere continuous ir-
ritation this senativeness increases
until the whole nature Is quick and

above tile floor at the cow stable END
or the barn, which allows about eight
feet of headroom In the COW stable.
This is an ample amount Of headroom
for the COW stall end Of the barn and
insures good ventilation. Headroom IL
not of as great Importance in the COW
stalls as 1t is In the horse stalls, 81
long as the ventilation is not impaired.
The height of ceiling In the horse
stable end Of the barn may be &
lated by the size and character of the
horses, but since the average man can
not reach a great deal more than eight
feet to put a bride on a high-headed
horse, this amount is usually deemed
a sufficient height for headroom in a
horse stall.
The floor all over the barn Is made
level and smooth except In the manger,
gutter and standing floor part of the
cow stable. Extra planks are used in
he horse stable to give the floor the
necessary slant, and they also keep the
horses off the hard concrete. In the
center of the barn is the driveway,
which will probably be given sever
service. To take this into account the
floor in this section should be made
of very tough and enduring concrete.
The horse and cow stables are both
p%artitioned off from the driveway, so
that they are entirely separate and re-
moved from one another. The drive

but it 10 fOored over at the sides of

various purposes, depending on the
type Of farming and whether the barn
is being used as the main barn Of q
small farm or as an auxiliary barn on
a larger farm.
One thing which recommends this
barn very strongly is the large number
of windows. Abundant light is fur
nished from all sides, the Importance
of which is gaining more and more rec
ignition as the investigation of sani-
tary conditions Is carried on. The ex-
pense Of including the large number
of windows is very slight and the adj
vantages of furnishing plenty of light
are many. In the first place a light,
