motor for farm use, there will be
truck bodies shown that are for the
hauling of wheat, corn. oats and other
grains and cereals, for the hauling OF
loose hay and straw, and for the cart
ing of swine and cattle. It will be
more than a show, 1t will be a whole
circus on account of the performances
that will occur at each stop. A jackie
band has been loaned by the govern

HOW CROPS TURN CUT

Reports from around Huron indicate
better yields than was expected.
Wheat is yielding about fifteen bushels
to the acre, and barley going about
forty bushels. The first threshing
showed oats going seventy bushels and
ONE barley going as low as twenty
five bushels. Guy Maryland, living
northeast of the city, reported the
first threshing we have had from
Brookings county and while he could
not give bushels per acre, he stated
that his barley was heavy, going on
an average of forty pounds to the
bushel and looking like a good yield
per acre.

STRANGER At MERLIN
GIVES PEOPLE SCARE

Sheriff George Lewis and Deputy
Sheriff Lister were called to Merlin
yesterday evening to investigate the
actions of certain young stranger
whom the Merlinites said was Prov
ling around residences.
The stranger was harmless, but it
was feared that he was bent on rob-
berry. He was seen to enter vacant
houses at night, where he would
light matches and search about the
premises.
Upon arriving at Merlin the Off
GERS were shown a vacant house into
which the stranger was seen to en-
ter short time before their arrival
1t was small house with an attic
or small upstairs. Not a sign of life
was found on the lower floor and
Deputy Lister assembled to the upper
apartment. He saw nothing at first
and was about to descend when he
glanced in a far corner and saw
small man standing upright, his face
overspread with grin that was al
most a loud laugh. He was taken
to the lower floor where an old ra-
zor and two pocket knives were
found on his person. He gave his.
nawe as Frank Lansenderfer and
his home as San Francisco.
When asked what he was doing
in the house he laughingly replied
that he was looking for a place to
Sleep
The Officers could plainly see that
the man was "off his balance" and
brought him to Grants Pass where
he Is resting in the county jail. He
is to have an examination as to his
sanity and will. in all probability, be
taken to the state home at Salem. :

GOV 7. At OMSK
SHOWS SKEPT|CS
Allied Diplomats Given Glimpse of
651 ,532,117 Rubles Stacked Cell
ing High I'm Vaults

omsk, July 10.-The Omsk gov
eminent has turned out its pockets,
speaking figuratively, to convince
any skepttcs there might be among
allied representatives present in the
capital that 1t is not without gold
reserve to back its currency issues.
Fifty members of allied diplomatic
and military missions filed through
the vaults Of the state bank, on in
yitation by the ministry OF foreign
relations, and viewed the precious
metal stacked ceiling high in boxes
and sacks.
There was represented in coin and
bullion a total of e51. .532,117 rubles
computed at standard rates before
the ruble became the uncertain
measure It is today. according to fig
ures furnished by the treasury comp
troller.
An interesting feature of the ex-
hibition was hundreds OF gold and
silver plates, trophies. dinner sets,
statuettes, candelabra, ikons, run
ming into hundreds of thousands of
dollars in value, representing loot
which the bolshevih had assembled
in Kazan and Samara and which
was removed for safekeeping when
the Czechs captured those cities a
year ago. "A large part Of this col
lection represents personal property
OF the bourgeoisie which can easily
be identified by rightful owners
when peace is restored.

ASK FOR 100 STEAMERS
TO CARRY FRUIT CROP

San Juan, July 10.-Fruit grow
ers OF Porto Rico have asked the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to
equip 100 steamers as refrigerator
ships to carry fruit not only between
Porto Rico and the mainland but be-
tween the United States, South Am
erica and European countries.
The fruit growers have submitted
to the corporation a memorandum
saying that each ship should have
from 100000 to 100000 cubic feet
OF refrigerator space. They assert
that last year they lost more than
100000 on their products because
OF insufficient tonnage and because
none of 1t was equipped with even
partial refrigeration facilities. The
statement declares that aside from
the lines engaged in the banana-car-
rying trade. the United States has
not more than a dozen partly equip
ped insulated refrigerator ships.
These proposed refrigerator ships,
1t Is urged by the fruit growers,
should have speed OF from ~ to
Ia knots. 1t is pointed out that few
freighters of such speed now are
afloat.

Mineola N. Y, July 10.-Ths
British dirigible R-34 left Roosevelt
field shortly before midnight on her
return cruise to Scotland.
The great airship. held in leash by
1000 American balloon men, was re-
leased at 11:55 o'clock and floated
leisurely UP to height Of 200 feet
with her motors silent. The motors
then began to whirr and the craft
nosing upward headed for New York.
Three great sarchlights playing ON
the ship made her clearly discern
ible to the thousands who had gath
cred to bid her bon voyage. With
three engines-port- starboard and
forward-running and two others In
reserve the R-34 glided OF toward
the south, then swinging in a west
erly course. she pointed her nose In
the direction Of New York.
1t took the R-34 about three min
utes to rise to height at which she
began to cruise. At 1859 she was
about 500 feet up, barely discern
ible and with no lights visible, and
was skimming along at a speed OF
about 35 to 40 miles an hour.

[ABORERS
HAVE NERVE TO STRIKE

Toxic. July 10.-Labor troubles
are taking place in Japan. At gold
mine in Shizuoka prefecture, 100
miners went on strike recently and,
armed with pick-axes and shovels,
raided the residences Of the mine Of
ficials anu destroyed or damaged the
buildings and furniture. The local
police force suppressed the rioters.
The cause of the trouble is dissatis-
faction over wages.
Over 1000 women and girls en-
ployed in big silk factory at Uyeda
have gone on strike for higher
wages. Similar occurrences are re-
ported from various parts Of the en-
pire. One cause Of the unrest is the
souring Of rice. which is now higher
than last summer when the country
was involved in serious rice disturb

GREAT EXCITEMENT At
THE OLD WATER TANK

Last Saturday while making some
repairs at the Southern Pacific water
tank two carpenters made rich
gold strike. After removing the dirt
from around the sills they noticed
something out OF the ordinary In the
soil and upon examination found two
gold pieces, n ten and twenty.
News OF the strike" quickly
spread and others began the hunt,
among them August Goettsche. q
Southern Pacific engineer. who the
next day found two ten dollar pieces
and twenty dollar piece. The gold
fever ran high and the ground
we'll stirred.
Just where the gold pieces came
from Is u mystery, but Chief of Po-
lice Mcl.ane states that about four
years ago he arrested a young man
from Merlin who arrived In this city
clad only In his underwear. The
Chief nabbed the wanderer as the
latter came along the railroad track
near the watertank. The man was
''out OF his head" and could give but
. little definite information concern
ing himself. He stated, however,
that he had a brother In Indiana
and Chief McLane held him here
until he could hear something defi-
mite by wire.
In about ten days the demented
mans brother arrived. He stated
that the wandered had left Indiana
with $500 in gold In his pockets, but
when arrested the man from Merlin
had no cash; all he possessed was
his underwear. He told the Chief
that he threw his money away and
II Is believed that the recent find
at the watertank Is part of his
money, hut this Is only supposition.
The young man was taken east by
his brother and that Is the last that
has ever been heard from him.
Meantime, kids and men are try.
Ing their luck In the vicinity OF the
