FARMERS IDEA SAVES
HIM Time AND MONEY
Uses Pipe to Send Wheat From
Plateau to Market.

Wenatchee, Wash.-Instead of haul
ing his wheat eighteen miles over a
bad road, as he did formerly, James
Keane of Rock Island is now letting
the grain slide into market through a
galvanized iron pipe. The former
method cost from Is to 20 cents a
bushel to market. By this latter way
the grain can be handled for 2 cents
bushel.
The new system has been in opera
ton for couple of years and bids fair
to continue, at least until the natural
law Of gravitatiOn Is abolished.
Keane owns land which lies on a
large plateau over 1000 feet above the
little town Of Rock Island. 1t has al
ways been expensive for the farmer
to drive long distance to get off the
plateau and back into town, and as
the road wound around the side of the
bluffs 1t was very rocky and danger
GUS.
Two years ago the iron pipe idea
came to Keane. He purchased and in
stalled $500 feet Of two inch galvaniz-
ed iron piping, and the saving the first
year paid for it. The pipe runs from
Keane's west field down a steep hill to
within 400 feet of the warehouse in
the town.
When be wishes to take two or three
loads, of wheat to market the grain is
poured into large sheet iron hopper
fitted over the top Of the iron pipe line.
The grain runs along merrily through
the pipe to the town, where it is receiv-
ed at the rate of about a sack a min
ute, which is as fast as it can be han
died.
To save more time and money Keane
has attached an apparatus known as
the ''sacker'' from thrashing machine
to the town end OF the pipe line,
which automatically receives. sacks
and weighs the grain. A man does the
sewing.
Keane has monopoly on the big
plateau, which embraces about 5000
acres Of tillable land. Last year he
planted most of it and harvested near.
~ 100000 bushels Of wheat.
The land lies exposed to the periodi-
cally hard winds that frequent this
part of the state during the summer,
and there have been years when part
Of the wheat crop would be piled in
high drifts of dirt. When the season
Is favorable few farmers are more
handily located than Keane. with his
pipe line marketing method.

DOG KNOWS PHONE RING.
1t Master Isn't Home Bud Goes Out

If Master Isn't Home Bud Goes Ou.
and Finds Him.
Winsted, Conn.-Bud, a Boston ter
rier, owned by w. B. Pinney, an en-
ployee of the Southern New England
Telephone company and a member of
the volunteer fire brigade, can distin-
guish his masters telephone call-two
rings-from the other numbers on the
316 line
When the bell rings twice and Pin
ney is at home and does not hear the
call the dog searches for him. By
barking and other means he attracts
his masters attention to the telephone.
When Pinney fails to respond at
night to the double ring Bud dashes to
his masters room and rouses him.
That is one reason why Pinney never
fails to report for duty at night fire.

INDIANS GOOD FARMERS.

Than Ever Before.


Than Ever Before.
Washington.-The development of
agriculture and stock raising among
the Indians has been greater in the
last year than ever before, according
to the annual report of Cato Sells, COM
missioner Of Indian affairs. Love of
home and domestic happiness are be-
coming at last more marked trait of
the Indian. A special effort is being
made to better the condition of the
Papago Indians. who are in southern
Arizona. The children are to be
taught the A B C's.
THE Papagos," says the commission
er, "are among the most deserving of
any people l have ever known. Their
home for more than 200 years has
been in the driest desert in the United
States.
Under these circumstances they
have demonstrated that the genius Of
necessity works out wonderful things.
The Papagos have made their strug.
gle unassisted, and their accomplish
ments, in view Of their tremendous OBJ

FEARED THROUGH LIFE

Strange Provisions Made In
Will Of Woman.

Los Angeles.-The will of Mrs. Laura
Hemans White, who died in Pittsburgh
nearly year ago, has been received by
Public Administrator Bryson in view
of the distribution Of the estate in Los
Angeles county. The city Of Los An
geles desires to purchase property be-
longing to the estate. at 1921 Downey
avenue, now North Broadway. for
school purposes.
Before the deal could be closed it was
necessary to have the will, because q
clause bequeathes the property to Mrs.
Apollonia P. Melber for life. After
Mrs. Melbers death the property is to
go to Mrs. Katherine L. Hahn, a niece
Of Mrs. Melber and daughter Of Victor
Hahn.
Because of her fear of a premature
burial Mrs. White provided unusual
means to determine that the spark
of life had left her body before it was
cremated. In her will she declared:
"Having been all my life subject to
bondage through fear of premature
burial I will my body be kept until
evident signs of decomposition declare
themselves-at least week-that it
be visited and carefully inspected three
times daily, for which the person per-
forming this Office shall. upon making
affidavit that it has been faithfully per-
formed, receive the sum of $50. Just
before cremation it shall be stabbed
three times through the heart by a
duly accredited physician. who shall
receive therefor the sum of $2O."
A trust provision prohibits distribu-
ton Of the estate for ten years. Among
! the holdings are a Bakersfield ranch,
lots in San Diego and lots at Sunset
beach and La Canada park.
