The deal was handled by &. F.
Walker, local real estate dealer. j.
G. Bean of Brownsville, Oregon

good to him that he decided to
make his home here.
Mr.. Bean has wife and five
children, 3 girls and 2 boys. He
will ship his household goods and
implements from Brownsville as
soon as possible and expects to move
on to his new farm about the mid
die of August. He will get posses

Ernest Davis Visits Montana

Ernest Davis was here the first uf
the week from Montana. He went
from Bremmerton Navy Yards to
look at his homestead land near
Winifred, Montana, having secured
a ten-day furlough from his duties
at Bremmerton. He has learned
the trade of electric welder and is
getting along fine with his new
work.
Ernest says that this country is
very fortunate to have such good
crops when the conditions of Mon
tana and other places he passed
through, are taken into consider
alton. He thinks the crops are
better in the Potaltch section than
any other place he has seen. In the
Big Bend country he thinks the
average farm will hardly produce
enough to make a good feed for a
cow. All over Montana the stock
is being shipped out of the country
on account of the lack of feed and
water. Mountain streams mot far
from his clam have gone dry for
the first time in the history of the
country.
An oil company struck oil about
three miles from Ernest's home
stead and the prospects are very
good that the vein runs through it
as the oil company wished to sink {
we'll there while he was in France
but could not get permission from
him, SO chose the place where oi
was found few days ago.

Drying Fruit Safe Method

Drying is the safest and cheapest
way of saving food. Poisoning and
flat souring" are eliminated. All
solid meated fruits, green peas,
corn, spinach, asparagus and rhu-
barb are especially nice. If sliced
thin ! to / inch) and spread in
single layers, the drying is quick
-four to eight hours), and the fresh
flavor and color are almost perfect
Iy preserved. Some fruits are i'm
proved by dipping in a hot, thin
syrup before drying, and vegetables
may be dipped in hot water, but
this is not at all necessary. Keep
the products clean. Any surplus
fruits or vegetables can thus be kept
indefinitely with practically no
cost, and little work.
When drying over a stove, care
should be taken not to scorch the
products, especially vegetables.
The drying is generally done when
moisture cannot be squeezed from
freshly cut portion, with the
fingers. Vegetables should be lit
tie dryer than fruits. The drleo
products can be stored in cans.
pals, or paper boxes, where they
will be protected from insects,
mice and dampness.
A good dryer to use over any kinC
of a stove can be easily made from
an apple box and three pieces Of
galvanized screening for the trays
and one piece to cover the top tC

any shallow box with small hole.

Latah Sheriff Wasted Booze

According to the Star-M Mirror,
Sheriff John Woody poured 400 gal
Ions of liquor of various kinds into
the sewer at Moscow. The liquor
had been taken in raids by the
sheriff and his deputies, and it is
said most of it came from Potlatch.
After becoming useless as evidence
in court it was poured into the
sewer to make room for more. The
sheriff has 800 gallons now on hand
that will be needed as evidence
when Jim Montana and r. Toloreco
are brought to trial at the next
term of court. The Star Mirror
goes on to say:
The sheriff has been the means of
adding $3.50 to the county trea-
sury in the way of fines and if he
keeps up his record will make his
office a valuable investment for the
county, for so far it has been more
than self-supportlng. Jim Mon
tara and Tony Raponi each paid
S4O0 fines; Bill Humphrey, a local
barber, and Frank Berteloni each
paid $500 and Frank Arnold paid
$3.50 fine. Mike Petregali was fin
ed S4O0 and sentenced to 90 days in
jail but appealed and is out on
81 200 bonds. Montana has put up
a bond for 81 900 for his appearance
for trial and will be released when
he has served his 80 days Jail sent
ence.

Exterminating The Squirrel

Twelve thousand Idaho farmers,
in 32 counties, actively cooperated
in campaign for the destruction
of ground squirrels, which resulted

tion with the bureau of biological
survey of the federal department of
agriculture.
Poisoned bait mixed and dis
tributed on privately owned agri
cultural land amounted to 46l, ,430
pounds, with which 553,716 acres
were treated. An area of 1877
acres of public land was treated
with 30,9lS pounds of bait, the
farmers cooperating also in this
public work.
Forty thousand jack rabbits were
killed by poisoning in Minidoka
county in the course of the year, ac-
cording to reports by cooperating
farmers. In one drive, in Cassia
county, 5000 rabbits were killed
and in Lincoln county another drive
netted 5000 rabbits Three thouasnC
more Lincoln county rabbits were
killed in a drive made since thi:
report was compiled. Nine coun

Barnes New Wheat

The new wheat which H. P. Bar
mes has been propagating for the
past five years, and which the Sen
tinel made mention of two weeks
ago as being a cross of Turkey Red
and t'ortyfold, was harvested this
week, and the yield is something
wonderful; and had the season been
not so dry it is hard to say just
what the returns might have been.
From patch of ground five rods
and six feet WIDE by forty-one rods
long, or one and three-eights of an
acre, twenty-nine sacks of this
wheat was harvested giving a
yield of twnty-one sacks to the acre.
Mr.. Barnes says the wheat weighs
14O pounds to the sack, and that
being the case, the returns of this
wheat was forty-nine bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Barnes has taken SAM
pies to the millers of Asotin and
Lewiston and they pronounce 1t
strictly first class, so far as they
were able to judge, and will make
test of it as to its gluten qualities
and report later on. Before the
season is over Mr.. Barnes will en-
deavor to have the wheat given {
name. IT no other name is given it
1t is liable to be known as thu

Barn Destroyed by Fire

The barn on the Herman Lohman
place on Potlatch ridge was totally
destroyed by fire about eleven o.
clock last Friday night. The cause
OF the fire remains a mystery but
there is some belief that it was of
incendiary origin. Thirty tons of
hay were consumed and some farm
euipment, including harness, etc.
The barn was insured but no insur-
ance was carried on the contents.

Cats Steal a Ride

Two cats crawled under one of
the passenger coaches at Lewiston
last Friday and stole ride from
Lewiston to Joseph. They were
discovered at Joseph and not having
paid their fare, were taken off the
train. They were riding on the
trucks, a place often occupied by
hoboes as a means of transportation,
and seemed perfectly contented.

Threshing was started Thursday
on American ridge. The farmers
on that ridge have a system of CO.
operation in their grain hauling so
that in the evening after the days
threshing is done, the grain that
has been threshed during the day
is safely stored IN one of the eleva-
tors in Kendrick. 1t only takes a
few extra teams to haul the grain
to market as fast as it is threshed.

A Trip to The Coast

On July IA two automobiles each
carrying four occupants, made
trip to Portland Mrs. Deobald,
Miss Nettie Mae Jacobus, Eddie
Deobald and Miss Josephine Deo-
bald, were in one car and Otto, Her.
man and Miss Ida Schuyler and
Miss Lulu Eichner were in the
other.
The journey to the coast was
made over the Sunset Highway out
of Spokane, by way of Davenport,
Coolie City and down the Wenat-
chez River. The Wenatchee Valley
was followed for distance of 36
miles through the beautiful orch
ards and irrigated district. Seattle
was the objective from this point
aud was reached in due time. From
Seattle to the Bremmerton Navy
Yards was the next step of the
journey. Here the party looked
up Ernest Davis and Clarence Sand
berg and had a short visit with
them.
On the 18th visit to Tacoma
and Camp Lewis was enjoyed after
which the trip to Portland was re-
sumed. At Vancouver it was nee
essary to cross the toll bridge and
from there to Portland was but
short distance. The party stayed in
the coast city until the Goth when
the return trip was begun by way
of the Columbia Highway.
Over 600 miles were traversed
from Kendrick to the coast with
practically no car trouble but 10
such luck was experienced on the
return. As soon as the cars were
7 headed toward home trouble began
with flat tires.
; On the Columbia Highway it was
estimated that the party passed
! 1000 automobiles. This was on
Sunday, which is always busy day
} on the highway. This is a wonder
. full drive and perfect paved road.
At Crown Point the road is 700 feet
above the Columbia River and a
beautiful view of the surrounding
country can be had for 35 miles up
and down the river. On the High
Il way the largest fish hatchery in the
, world is open to inspection and is a
4 very remarkable sight.
;, The Columbia River was ferried
j, twice. Everything was going fine
