HEAD ON COLLISION
~ DOES SLIGHT DAMAGE

Thursday evening while driving
near the central school building two
automobiles driven by Robert Fisher
and Mrs. T. N. Hartung came togeth-
er with a crash, but very little dam
age was done to either car. Mr..
Fisher was driving north and Mrs.
Hartung south, and another car was
headed east at the intersection of the
streets. In some manner the two cars
came together, with a result that both
radiators were somewhat damaged
and the lamps on the Hartung car
were broken.
Both cars were being driven at a
low rate Of speed or the accident
might have resulted more seriously.

route has been established through
this range, by far the most difficult to
cross on the entire system, which
crosses the range with one per cent
grade.
The line will enter Mandan from the
south at what is known as second
crossing, and the exit north will be in
the same vicinity striking the New
Salem road near the Red Trail farm,
going north to the Square Butte val
ley near the Ed. Gibson farm. From
here north and west the line does not
prevent any heavy expense in grad
ing. etc. Mr.. Hamilton has now gone
to Freda and is running his lines
north from there to meet the line he
has established over the Oak Coulee
hills. This will take probably two
weeks and then he will take up his
work from Mandan north wes
through the Knife river valley t,
Manning.
The directors are very much en-
couraged over the situation and th
hearty response the project is meetin,
with in every section. 81 s3i.s Vi

FOOT INJURED
IN MOTORCYCLE

julius Breda sustained very pain
full injury to the heel of his right foot
on Sunday afternoon while accom-
panying a friend on a motor cycle a
few miles east of the city. The driv-
er slowed the machine down to enter
a rather sandy stretch of road and
Mr.. Breda, losing his momentum for
a fraction of second, caught the heel
of his shoe in the wheel. The shoe
was torn asunder and an ugly deep
cash marks the back of his heel. He
was on crutches the past week, and it
will be some time before he is able to
walk without them.

Long *<Bike'' Trip
Dickinson Young Ladses Plan
to 'Pedal" ;tGSan
Francisco.

Two Dickinson ladies, Mae Teeter
and Ada Harrison, both employed at
the Central Cafe, expect to leave
about August End for an overland
trip to San Francisco. The trip will
be- made on bicycles and they will
carry sufficient equipment to cook
their own meals en- route, depending
upon hotels, for sleeping accommoda-
tions only.
They will follow the Red Trail to
Seattle and thence down the coast to
the California city. Their plans for
the return trip are indefinite.

From those who have travelled in
various parts Of the west river
country during the past few days the
Press learns that crop conditions are
improving in many sections. Gener-
GUS rains have fallen in some sec
tions of the Slope and the prospects
for a fair yield have been greatly
frightened. Some fields that two
weeks ago did not give promise of
more than 80 per cent normal yield
now look as though a so per cent
yield would be conservative esti-
mate.
Superintendent John C. Thysell, OF
the Dickinson sub station, accom-
panied by his family and guests, made
an automobile trip into the south
country last Sunday and Mr.. Thysell
thinks that recent rains have greatly
improved crop conditions in general.
He saw some fine fields of both Durum
and MARQUIS wheat on the New Eng
land road, and one field Of Marquis
near the east Rainy Butte he thought
would make.a yield of 20 bushels per
acre.
Although the grain started to head
out very short there are many fields
where considerable growth is notice
able and will make fair crop. Hay
is very short owing to the dry season
and some who have large herds Of
stock will perhaps find it difficult to
secure sufficient hay land unless they
are fortunate.in having tame grass or
forage feeds. y /.
". Corn is doing exceedingly well, and
there are ssome fields near Dickinson
that are said to be as good as any
in this section Of the state. The first
crop of alfalfa was cut at the sub
station ethe past week, the heaviest
crop being from plats that were in the
low land or valleys. s

HOUSE BILLS

Mr.. Anderson. of Latah, introduc-
ed an act authorizing county COM
missioners to appoint road super
visors, and also to levy road poll
taxes. One of the measures of the
bill makes it the duty of the sup
ervisor to keep the roads free from
impossible snow drifts and build and
maintain such snow fences as are
necessary to this end
A joint resolution by Kiger pro-
poses to amend the state constitution
so that prosecuting attorneys shall
receive not less than $1,000 and not
more than $4,000, and deputies not
less than $500 nor more than $4,000.
An act presented by Sims would
provide for the transfer, assignment,
sale and rental of water rights under
the supervision of the state engineer.
Mr.. Anderson, of Canyon county,
offers bill to tighten the restrictions
on the sale of drugs within the state.
Hhe would no medicine, drug, most
rum, ointment, preparation or appli-
cation Of any kind intended for the
treatment of disease or injury to be
sold lawfully except by licensed
pharmacy, unless specially provided
for.
An act brought forward by Jones
and McMullen proposes to amend the
session laws of%1911 relating to high
way districts and the apportionment
of the proceeds of county road and
bridge taxes. According to this act
the highway district would receive
95 per cent and the county 5 per
cent.
A bill by Moody and Kent would
give the county commissioners the
power to see that any land which
might be valuable to the state be
rendered tillab1e.. They may make
assessments against the lands in
what improvement districts they
choose to set apart, and appoint CON-
missioners to superintend the work

RABID ANIMALS A =.
MENACE AT MACKAY

l.. e. Dillingham;, editor of The
Mackay Miner, came down Monday
to make a.trip to Boise. He said the
most important question now con-
fronting the Lost river folks is how
to get rid of the rabid coyote danger
A man was attacked on Main street
in Mackay one night recently, and
managed to escape by getting over
a fence. He brought gun and kill
ed the ferocious animal. Mr.. Dilling-
ham said that nearly all the dogs,
cattle, horses and hogs Of the sec
ton have been infected, and the
bounty on coyotes seems inadequate
to do any good. He believes the sit
uation will grow worse, until the
only remedy will be concerted raid
by the citizens to kill off all wild
animals.
