SUPREME COURT DECIDED
IMPORTANT LATAH CASE

A Latah county case which has
been IN the courts for four years, and
which is important, in that it fixes
the status of homestead property be-
yond question, in Idaho, has just been
decided by the state supreme court.
The case involves a tract of valu-
}able land on the Little Potlatch, in
Latah county, which was homestead
and which passed by operation of
law, first to Jonathan c. Oylear, on
the death of his first wife. Mr.. Oyl-
ear later married a second time and
after his marriage filed another home
stead on the property and at his
death the court held that the property
again passed by operation of law to
Mary G. Oylear, his second wife and
her children, and that no probation
OF the estate was necessary.
This was contested by the children
Of Jonathan G. Oylear by the first
wife, who are the plaintiffs in the
case. The defendants are the second
wife, Mary G. Oylear, and her child
rem. Judge Edgar C. Steele of the
district court, rendered decision in
favor OF the defendants, and this de-
cision has been upheld by the SUI
preme court. The decision holds that
every homestead has two properties,
namely: freedom from execution and
right of survivOrship.
The case has been hotly contested,
and the decision is considered an i'm
portant one. Judge J. H. F'orney of
this city represents Mrs. Oylear and
her children, the defendants.

THRESHJNG BEGINS
FIRST OF WEEK
FIRST WHEAT OF NEW CROP
REACHES FARMERS WARE
HOUSE TODAY

Although two threshing outfits are
operating this week, harvest in the
Moscow country district will not be
in fullswing before the first of next
week from all indications. The fall
grain is practically all cut.
The first new wheat reached the
Farmers Union Warehouse this fore
noon, stated George Sievers, manager
of the Warehouse company, Thursday
afternoon when interviewed by
representative of the Star-Mirror.
The heads are well filled and the
grain IS of the best appearance but
the stand in the fields is generally
lighter than usual, but on the whole
the crop will probably do quite well
considering the weather conditions of
the year.
The price for wheat still hovers
around SO cents a bushel and every
thing seems to indicate that it will
perhaps remain there for some little
time, or at least until the present
harvest reaches the market in force.
Two Threshers at Work
So far as can be ascertained but
two threshing machines are in the
field at the present time. They are
the one belonging to George O'Conner
and Roster and the other belonging
to Hagedorn
O'Conner and Roster are threshing
about two miles south of the city and
the machine belonging to Hagedorn
is operating about two and half
or three miles west of the city.
Combines have not yet been able to
begin operations because the grain is
hardly ripe enough to handle by this
method But it is thought they will
be in the fields by the first of the
week.
By the first of next week it is the
expectation the threshing season will
begin IN earnest. 1t was originally
thought that this week would see the
separation of straw and grain on in
full swing but threshing was slightly
delayed The delay was occas-
loned by the fact that much of the
grain really appeared ripper than it
was. The hot weather ripened the
top of the wheat much more rapidly
han the lower part of the stems and
-hus gave it the appearance of being
ready for cutting before it was.
The spring grain is hardly ready
or cutting although the most of the
all wheat is reported in the shock
md almost ready for the threshers.
Many reports are to the effect
hat the fall wheat will turn out
much better than has been anticipated.
But it appears that the stand is good
n some places and poor in others.
It is expected that the grain will
or the most part be put on the mar
let as soon as threshed owing to the
high price of sacks. BY
.eeping his wheat moving toward the
levator the farmer can get along on
ess sacks than otherwise

GOOD Bean CROP
ON LATAH RIDGES
III. M. DRISCOLL SEES PROSPERITY
FOR GROWERS BRING QUARTER
MILLION TO COUNTY

H. M. Driscoll of Troy, manager of
the Idaho Bean & Elevator company
with warehouses at Troy, Kendrick
and Juliaetta, was in Moscow yester-
day on business, and reports the bean
crop on the ridges in the southeastern
part of the county fully up to the
average, if not above. The wheat
crop is also fairly good. Southeast
Latah county will enjoy prosperous
season, Mr.. Driscoll states, with the
bean crop selling at from four to four
and one-half cents per pound.
Mr.. DriScoll looks upon beans as
one of the most profitable crops the
farmer can grow, and states that in
his opinion a bean crop can be pro-
duced as cheaply as a wheat crop.
About the same procedure is neces-
sary in preparing the ground for he
seed, and the returns from the beans
are, as a rule, considerably heavier
than from the wheat The bean CROP
threshed with regular bean threshers,
can be put on the market at about
the same expense as wheat. In addi-
tion to this, the beans leave the ground
in practically as good condition to
grow the next years wheat crop as
though it had been summerfallowed.
Mr.. Driscoll states that he knows
of number of eighties near Troy
which will produce 1000 pounds of
beans to the acre. At four and one
half cents per pound, the returns
would be $45 per acre.
This years bean crop in Latah
county is estimated by Mr. Driscoll
at 100 carloads, with money value
Of at least a quarter of million dol
lars. He considers beans one Of the
important crops in the county, espec-
ally in the southern part The acre
age this year is about up to the aver
age.
While the wheat yield will not be
normal in the territory where Mr..
Driscoll is doing business, it is better
han in this section. because Of the |
'ainfall in the early summer, which
missed this territory entirely.

VETERINARIAN REPORTS
INCREASE in LIVESTOCK

DR.. j. ID. Adams, state veterinarian,
who has been in the northern coun-
ties of the state for the past two
weeks, comforting with his deputies,
arrived in Moscow Wednesday and
left Thursday for Boise. DR.. Adams
states that the livestock was gener-
ally found in good condition in the
northern part of the state. Two
cases of hog cholera were found in
Boundary county and few tuber-
culosis reactors among the cattle. The
conditions in the north, where there
has been more rain during the sum
mer, were more favorable for the
stock.
There is much more livestock in
north Idaho than there was two years
ago, and financial conditions are cor
respondingly better, DR.. Adams stat
ed. This is especially noticeable in
Latah county, he stated, where the
farmers have been increasing their
depleted herds, and taking up diversi-
fled farming since the price of wheat
dropped two years ago.
In addition to the campaign against
tuberculosis in cattle, the state de-
partment is inaugurating a campaign
against tuberculosis in poultry and
abortion diseases in cattle, both of
which are causing heavy economic
loss in the state. 1t is desired that
any who suspect these diseases among
their herds or poultry, report to the
state office, at Boise, to the county
agent, or to DR.. Taylor, veterinarian
at the university. An investigation
will be made, the trouble diagnosed
and recommendation made free of
charge.

Equipped with q number of death

He saturated his clothes with
gasoline and tied small rope on ore
of the steel supports of the bridgv.
The other end he tied around his

an automatic pistol.
AS the poison trickled down his
throat he shuddered. The gun eX-

brain the bullet went over Smiths
head.
Meanwhile his clothing caught

him to lose his balance and he fell.

water acted as an antidote to the
