BARLEY CROP BRINGS
FARMER $11O PER ACRE

Central Ridge is the garden spot
of the world This is generally
agreed by those who know. More
evidence if this fact was furnished
last week when Chas. Coon, a real
farmer of the Ridge section, sold his
crop of barley from 105 acres for
$10,7O0. The yield was $500 sacks
of approximately 125 pounds each,
and the price received was $500 per
hundred weight. This is return of
$11O.95 per acre; little above the
price of the land in that rich zone.
Mr.. Coon states that there are
other crops in his neighborhood that
will equal this winter barley showing,
and in fact, the general yield down
that way is pretty satisfactory.

Automobile Party Here

Two automobiles that were touring
the country passed through Moscow
yesterday, belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
L. D. Gandion of San Francisco and
Mr.. and Mrs. G. R. Hoyt of Belpra,
Kansas.
The former had travelled $500 miles
from San Francisco to Kansas and
then returning to the west, the others
coming overland from Kansas They
said this country looked a Paradise
compared with much of the country
travelled through. They were sur
prised to see the crops that have been
grown without rain. Mr.. Gandion
travels for surgical company of San
Francisco and Mr.. Hoyt, a druggist,
has sold out his business in Kansas
and is looking for location in the

.LATAH HARVEST IS
WELL UNDER WAY
GOOD YIELDS NEAR KENDRICK
AND GENESEE REPORTED
BY LOCAL PAPERS

i Harvest operations are in full
swing. A number of threshing crews
are in this vicinity and are working
with full force of men. No short
age of labor has been reported SO far
and everything seems to be going for
ward in very satisfactory manner.
The rain Sunday night stopped opera
tions for short time but was help
to all concerned as it settled the dust,
cleaned things up and brought cooler
weather in it's wake. "Ain't it great!"
was the expression heard from every
one Monday.
Wheat yields cannot be definitely
determined but reports are coming IN
of averages of 80 to 35 bushels and
some as high as 40 bushels for fall
sown grain. The yield would have
been much better only for the hot,
dry period just preceding harvest
operations which burned the wheat
and caused it to shrink some.
The rain Sunday night was the first
for many weeks and although it came
too late to benefit grain much, it will
help gardens and pastures. Quite a

showed a trifle over At bushels to

GERMANY THREATENED
WITH SHORTAGE OF COAL

BERLIN.-(By Associated Press.)
AT conference yesterday of en-
ployers and workers to devise means
for increasing coal production, the
Prussian minister of railways an
nounced that the railways generally
had only sufficient coal for a week or
a fortnight and that a great restric-
tionoin passenger traffic must be ex-
pected.
Germany has succeeded in inducing
France to admit that her demand for
40,000,000 tons of coal annually was
physical impossibility, but it ap-
pears that Germany can not even
hope to have enough coal to meet the
country's most urgent needs.
The people have been warned to
prepare for the coming winter and
laymen are rapidly being converted
to the opinion that the government
should sacrifice the national forests.
The idea, however, does not appear
to attract much attention in govern
ment circles.

MAKE PEA, BEAN AND
GRAIN THRESHERS
IDAHO NATIONAL HARVESTER
WORKS TURNING OUT MUCH
NEEDED MACHINES

Next Monday, G. P. Mix, manager
of the Idaho National Harvester com
pany, will start threshing peas, and
grain on his 800 acre farm, with a
new machine just made by the factory
which is Moscow's largest manufac-
turing enterprise. The machine is a
product of the factory, having been
designed and made there, every bit of
it, excepting the self-feeder, being
made at this plant and next year the
company will make its own self-feed-
er. Even the iron wheels for the
truck are made in the Moscow plant.
1t is believed that the machine will
"fill long-felt want" for it will
thresh peas, bean, oats, barley and
wheat and do good work in each of
these grains. AS peas and beans are
becoming staple crops in Latah coun-
ty the need of such machine is
obvious. The machine has two cylin-
ders placed tandem, and neither is
run at high speed as would be neces-
sary were there but one. In this way
the grain is all taken from the straw
and it is not cracked.
One of these machines was made
and used last year for threshing peas.
It proved so successful that it was
impossible to stop it until winter set
in, for people who had not been able
to get their peas threshed insisted
upon getting this machine to do the
work. Since the first machine was
made Improvements have been added
and the company now makes ma
chine that will thresh all kinds OF
grain.
The machines are small and easily
operated, but they can thresh from 80
to 40 acres of grain or peas per day
and require only five wagons to haul
the grain from the field to the thresh-
er. They are especially designed for
community work and it is believed
that they will be popular in commun-
tiles where the farms are not large
and several farmers can buy one in
partnership and operate it without
hiring much, if any, help.
Two of the machines are being
shipped to California, which has be-
come a great bean producing state.
The firm had orders for four machines /
but was only able to ship two in time
for this years crop, but next year
hopes to supply the demand for the 7
machines and the demand is expected
to be large.
The factory is busy, for it is turn
ing out lot Of work despite the fact
that this is supposed to be the "slack"

season Manager Mix says, "Only
30 men are employed now" but the
company gives employment to as
many as 80 men and is easily the big
gest business enterprise in Moscow.
At present the factory is turning
out the Richards steering gears for
Ford cars, for which it has an order
for $4,000. These are the invention
of James Richards, we'll known mech
anician of Moscow, who has patented
several splendid inventions, including
a gasoline engine for airplanes.

INLAND CREDITORS
WANT SALE PUT OFF
MAY NOT SELL ELECTRIC RAIL
ROAD UNTIL GOVERNMENT
GIVES UP CONTROL

| SPOKANE. That the sale of the
includes the Spokane Traction com
pany, will be delayed till after the
railroads under government admins
tration are returned to private owner
ship is generally predicted by those
who are closely associated with the
company's affairs.
The delay, if granted, probably
will be at the request of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
roads, to which the defunct Inland
Empire company is indebted to the
amount of more than $1,000,000. At
torney F. V. Brown of Tacoma, chief
counsel for the Northern Pacific in
this district, is handling the matter
for the company, and no informa-
tion on the contemplated move of
the company could be obtained in
the office of Cannon & Ferris, local
counsel for the railroad.
1t is expected the company's coun-
sci will point out to Federal Judge
Frank Rudllin, who adjudicated the
receivership of the Inland company a
year ago, that the two creditor com
panies must of necessity bid in the
property in order to protect their ac-
counts and that this could not be ex-
pediently done while the administra-
tion still directed the affairs of the
railroads.
Looks for Request.
II expect to see this request made
by the companies" said Oscar Cain,
master in chancery, who heard the
claims against the company in fed
eral court recently. "The two cred
itor companies probably will ask de-
lay until after their interests are re-
turned to private ownership, as they
are likely to bid the property in for
their own protection.
Judge Rudkin will pass on the de-
,ision | rendered in the case in chan
,ery, after which he will appoint an
'ther master to proceed with the sale

Atlanta, Aug. 4.-Investemnt in
