is BUILDING BIG FINE
CATTLE BARN

Ole Wing, ex-county Commissioner
and prominent farmer living in the
south eastern part of the county is
having built on his farm a big cattle
barn size 4Sx72. The building is the
last word in cattle barns, it is of the
big gable style, completely equipped
throughout for cattle and has a large
box stall 18x72, for young stock to run
in Just at the back of the barn is
the feed room, size 18x30, in which
Mr.. Wing will keep his feed grinder
and silage cutter, back of this room
will be the big, modern silo, 14x3S.
Mr. Wing has a herd of 130 Here.
ford cattle, 80 of which are registered
stock When he was in town the first
of the week, and on being asked when
he had started raising the Hereford
cattle, he stated that he had started
back in 1897 with two heifer calves.
Each year he added to his herd, until
up to the present time he has the
splendid herd of the above number.
And besides his extensive, cattle rails
ing he has his big 1900 acre farm to
look after, which is about 3-4 under
cultivation
Mr. Wing states that he expects to
have the buildings completed in about
weeks. George Cramer, local con-
tractor, is doing the building for Mr..
Wing.

Layer Was Not
Forced to Confess

III anyone believes the confession
of Henry Layer to the murder of 6
people near Turtle Lake was forced
from him, every officer connected in
the case is willing to lay every detail
of the arrest and confession before
any impartial court" declared Chief
of Police Chris Martineson, following
the announcement that attorneys had
been retained by Layers relatives and
friends to seek a new trial for him.
One of the charges made by Layers
relatives is that he was beaten up in
the Jail at Washburn.
"He was arrested in the afternoon
and he confessed shortly after mid
night" continued Martineson. "He
was alone a part of that time. He
was not beaten, nor was he brow
beaten. He was questioned long and
continuously, of course, but no third
degree methods were used. His own
conscience forced him to confess at.
ter he had gazed upon pictures of the
victims.
Everybody in Washburn who we're
in touch with the arrest Of Layer and
his trial here in Washburn know that
Not one word has been heard to the
effect that Layer had been beaten
when in prison here. In fact every
viction and trail tell the same that
Chief Martineson tells.

Wool Growers TO
Discuss Market Plans

Marketing of the wool clip and or
ganization of a Mclean county wool
growers association will be discussed
at a meeting of the wool growers Of
the county planned for Thursday, Au-
gust IL, at the court house in Wash
burn, according to an announcement
made by County Agent A. L. Norling
"Sheep growers have to make a
living just like other people," says
Mr. Norling, :'but they can't do it with
wool selling at the present price"
For that reason, a number of them
have organized in score of counties
in the state, forming wool growers
association, and they have banded to-
gether to form the North Dakota Fed
Grafton of Wool Growers associations.
This federation is pooling the entire
clip at Fargo, where it is expected
more than 100000 pounds will be
marketed by it, selling directly to the
wool manufacturing establishments,
instead of having the wool pass thru
the hands of several commission men.
The wool clip can be handled much
more economically in this manner,
and the buyers can afford to pay big
ger price when purchasing in such
large quantity, all of which means a
bigger return to the farmer. for his
wool. ]. w. Haw, secretary of the
state federation, will explain in detail
the plan of marketing at the meeting.
Every man in Mclean county who
is interested in the wool marketing
situation or contemplates raising
sheep is urged to attend this meet
ing. Letters announcing the meeting
will be sent to every sheep grower.
Mr.. Norling reports that at the pre-
sent time most of the wool growers
are keeping their wool at home rather
than to sell it at price far below
the cost Of production.

Sparinqly on Whole Grains

prepared by the United States Depart
s.sstj ment Of Agriculture)
The crop of the chicken sometimes
becomes overloaded with feed, and its
thin muscular walls become distended
and partially paralyzed, so that the
organ cannot be emptied. or the open
ing into the lower esophagus may be-
come clogged with a feather, a straw,
or some other substance which the
bird has swallowed. The crop is
greatly distended and the mass Of
-feedsis rather hard and firm. In both
cases the symptoms are the same, and
treatment should be conducted on the
same principles, specialists say.
III Treatment Outlined.
For treatment pour one-fourth to
0ne-half ounce of melted lard or sweet
oil down the throat and manipulate the
contents of the crop with the hand
IN such way as to tend to break up
the mass. Unless the passage is closed
the contents of the crop will usually
pass away within a few hours. For a
few days feed should be limited in
quantity.
IT, the foregoing method is ineffec,
tual. and an operation becomes neces.
sary, clip away the feathers from q
part of the crop, and with very
sharp knife, lancet or razor make an
incision about III inches long through
the skin and the wall Of the crop
Theif carefully remove the contents OF
the crop with the finger, the handle
OF spoon or some other convenient
object and wash out the crop witt
warm water. Pass the finger, wei
oiled, into the esophagus to see thai
there is no obstruction.
Feed Whole Grains.
s Sew llip the wall Of the crop first

or linen thread and being careful no
to sew the two membranes together
In a few days the wound will b.

found the scenery much the same.

that one wonders, how they can ever
grow.
We, came in here about 2:30 yester-
day. In the evening we walked down
to the lake, through the Park. The
park here is. simply up-to-the-minute
in attractiveness, and no end of work
is being done to make it so. 1t is easy
to see that swimming is the summers

It would be impossible to tell of the
various sights Of interest. in the Park
in detail, though there are many
which should bear mentioning.
entering by the Northern Entrance
and going by: way Of Mammoth Hot
Springs, Grand Canyon, Lake Junction
and out through the Western Entrance
taking in just a small part of the
park, but the interesting and most
travelled, we saw the following places
most worthy Of mention.
Golden Gate. two beautiful broze
colored cliffs over looking the mar
row highway. -rah
Iron Springs, so much talked OF,
and which is composed of such chem
icals combined, that upon drinking,
the water has peculiar sour taste.
Old Faithful, the most sought for
natural wonder and perhaps the most
talked about phenomena in the world,
because of it's unfailing regularity and
which is at it's iprettiest after sun
down, changing from foggy whiteness
in it's eruptions to a rose color. -
And finally the Grand Canyon
where one finds the Lower Falls
which are simply facinating.
The Government buildings through
out the Park have been built with
nothing lacking in the way Of making
surroundings the most comfortable
and enjoyable that is possible.
We spent three days there and
tried camping for the first time.
JULY Is ,D
Having now left the Park at 1880
in the afternoon, we travelled on the
Yellow Trail for ten miles, when we
came into the we'll known Gallatin
Valley.
It was through this part of the
country we saw the larger ranches,
and passing through this large valley
came upon acres Of willow trees, fine
pastures and an artificial lake. This
lake is twenty miles long and con-
trolled by the Montana Power Co.,
located at Butte. The lake is used for
the, purposes Of electrfng the rail
way, small towns thereabouts and also
for irrigation, when necessary. Its
use is controlled by large concrete
dam. F
From there on we came upon the
worst stretch of road we had yet en-
countered. AS far as scenic beauty
was concerned it could hardly be sur
passed even by the Park; but the road
was so rocky, hilly and narrow that it
took US two hours to travel Is miles.
From here on to a few miles into
Missoula, we found the wild cherry

We camped at Ennis for the night
with the mosquitoes fairly forming a
shade for our small electric light
bulb.
JULY 16
We had heard some of Virginia City
and therefore, were curious as to what
the town would look like.
It seemed to have a great deal of
historical interest; because, in 1864,
IA outlaws, including the sheriff, were
hung for waylaying stages. There
were memorials monuments and mu-
seums, which we did not take time to
investigates But we found more va
cant old buildings there than any
other town along our route.
Just out of town, we saw great
beds Of heaped sand, which had been
thrown up by hugh dredges from an
old river bottom, in search for gold.
Whether the operations were still un-
der way or had been successful or not
we could not find out.
We next passed through Butte,
Which seemed one Of the busiest
cities in Montana, due its vast mining
industry.
We camped at Deer Lodge for the
night in which city, the State Penl'
tentfary is located

Sheepskin coats are not altogether
for sport in this country-that is, not
so far as the fashion has gone. The
type over here that has met with sue
cess is also gray. and closely curled.
but it is usually cut for elaborate
afternoon functions. 1t Is wide at the
hem, close at the shoulders and is
pressed down over wide spaces with a
heavy design of silver threads.
The average woman knows, how
ever, that this splendor is not for her
purse, although. she Is eager to know
what leads in the matter OF furs and
what those who can AFFORD them in
quantities think Of them. 1t guides
her choice.
Her question may be whether or not
she should put her money into a short
or a long coat. If she wants to know
what is fashionable she can be COM
forted with the knowledge that any
length will do. No one has set lirnita-
tionS upon it.
The box coat is quite smart along with
a homespun, serge or duvetyn skirt,
provided the latter is not pleated- Tho
smart world is quite weary Of that
model 1t wants its skirts plain, narrow
and we'll fitting.
The short coat Is undoubtedly better
than others for walking. II was in

long one serves well for any occasion
to which ono goes on wheels. II has
