sample or StrOngarm WORK we
have seen in many a day is the glass
front of the Deus drug store. Last
Friday evening when Sam Lange
got ready to go home he went to his
big Chalmers car, which was stand
ing in front OF the Dicus drug store,
got the crank, the battery being
low, and gave it a twist. Bing!
and it was all Sam could do to get
out of the way of the machine, 1T
seemed to be IN such hurry, and
the first thing Sam knew the
bloomin' thing had It's nose sticking
through one of the plate glass win
dows of the drug store. 1t happen
ed to be in gear when he 'cranked
at and Sam "dldn't know it was
loaded"
Troy News: The council is plan
ming to begin pumping water from
the we'll into the mains about
September /, when the sprinkling
season will be over, and the water
from the reservoir will be used itor
street sprinkling only. With the
opening of the school year it is
necessary to supply good drinking
water to students or run a chance
of sickness, and good water must be
on hand in plenty for the visitors
at the fair. By pumping it into the
mains early the movement Of the
water through the mains should
cleanse them enough to avoid any
possible contamination remaining
from the water that was condemned
during the summer.
Deary Press: In time it is gong
to be found that the clay deposits in
the Deary section are the best of all.
Some competent judges know al
ready that they are, and it is only a
question of time until this great re-
source of the Upper Potlatch
country will be developed. Fine
pottery can and will be made from
the clays, fact which has been
shown by numerous scientific tests.
The return to normalcy will bring
with It the establishment of clay
products industry here, without
doubt.
Juliaetta Record: According to
reports coming IN from the harvest
fields on the ridges about Juliaetta,
fine yields are being secured. A
.25-acre tract of Red Russian on the
VIM. Heimgartner place, is said to
have yielded close to 60 bushels tc
the acre, and John Glenn had q
2O-acre tract that threshhed out
better than 60 bushels. Julius
Glese's crop is reported averaging
55 bushels. Frank Hoislngton':
crop went about so bushels to tht
acre. Louie Ogden, of Potlatcrt
ridge, thresned out 527 sacks O.
spring Sonora Club from AZ acre
and from 10 acres of jenkins Clul
1164 sacks, which is averaging l3
pounds to the sack. The Sonora ha
not been hauled yet but 1T will
weigh heavier than the Jenkin
club. This, Mr.. Ogden considers
is pretty good owing to the fact tina
this is the third crop off of IS acre
and the second crop off the 55 acre
of the 10 acres OF Jenkins club.
