II is suggested by Uncle Sans experts
IN this lire that the only safe mush-

gather rare forms or those species
which are not readily recognizable.
Araricus campestris is the name an
plird to the most common edible mush-
room by scientists. This variety is not
nrIv cultivated commercially, but is
widely distributed and is abundant ir
the wild state. The cap is feshy and
I.clnispherical in shape. but later be-

smooth, white or light brown in color,
and the flesh is white and firm. The
ee-calIed 'gills" are white at first

turn 2 blackish brown. The stem is
stout, smooth and furnished with a
ring. This type of mushroom. the ex-
perts say. is readily recognizable.

DEALERS
FIGHT DRY Law
MissOula Merchants Take
Legal Action to Ship
Into Washington.
PUSHING TEST CASE
Court Quashes Writ to Force
Express Company Into
Taking Goods.

Since June 80 the state of Washing
ton has been extra dry because wet
goods from Missoula and other Mon
tana cities could not be shipped over
to help irrigate the arid state. Now
the liuuor dealers here want to re-
sumo their shipments and they are
pushing their claims through the
Washington courts.
Though in their first skirmish when
a writ of mandamus action to force
the Northern Express company to ac-
cept shipments into Washington was
ulashed by the court ON Tuesday,
nevertheless they intend to push the
test case to the limit. Charles Haskall
of the Saratoga Liquor company of
this city is in Spokane as the personal
representative of the Montana dealers
in the drive. II. J. Snively. Of North
Yakima is the chief of counsel for the
liquor men.
Missoula dealers today expressed
themselves as confident that the out :
come of the test case eventually would
be favorably. it being pointed out that
quantities of booze" are shipped into
Colorado, where a bone dry law,

that the attorneys representing the
liquor men lost the opening skirmish
because they failed to base their claims
on an actual occurrence. instead Of on
a supposition that liquor had been Of
frred to the express company for
transportation.
Under the new laws, the wholesalers
may ship two quarts of whiskcy. IL
