"BAD MEN" NEVER POPULAR
Product Of Early Days Of the West,
They A~nta0onIzed Sections
Sense Of Fair Play.

The actual 'bad man" of the West
was a feature of the towns rather
than of the range, for he preyed
mostly upon the gold and silver
that, starting from the mines, had
been intrusted to a numbering stage,
or to an express car upon the rail-
way, explains Philip Ashton Rol-
Inns, the New York lawyer who has
written a history of the cowboy.
But, all in all, there we're very few
of the actual 'bad men," The West
did not like them. They ran coun-
ter to the actuating western motive,
which was fair play or justice, as
the West conceived it. Consequent
ly, each 'Hbad man" sooner or later
would ego out of the territory for
his health or to hell on a shutter"
If he passed out" it would be ell
her on the end of a rope or before
a bullet. His demise was sometimes
referred to as his shutting out
'bucking out" "croaking," "cashing
in," or passing in his checks"

1t is little short of marvellous the
splendid quality of melons that
have been raised IN the Juliaetta
section this season when the lack of
rainfall is taken into consideration.
Watermelons. cantaloups and musk
melons are all exceptionally fine.
A. Is. James brought a load of canta-
Ioups and muskmelons to Kendrlck,
Tuesday that were good enough to
put on display at a fair. A number
OF the muskmelons weighed IL or IL
pounds each and the quality was ex-
cellent. It is unfortunate that a
lower freight rate cannot be secur-
ed SC that a better market would
be available to the Juliaetta grow
ers.

This season Martin Thomas has
again demonstrated the fact that
what the Potlatch land needs is a
rest and a chance to recuper ate.
Last year his land made an average
OF 46 ushels OF wheat to the acre.
This year, in face of the unfaVor-
able conditions, 10 acres of the
land made an average OF 80 bushels
and part OF this was stubble ground.
A few years ago he seeded much of
his land to alfalfa and still has
many acres that produce splendid
crops of alfalfa hay. After being
seeded down for two or three years
the land produces wheat like 1T used
to do in I'VE good old days"

BAT" MAsTERsoN's REVENGE
ON THE CHEYENNES

One December day In the early sew
enties a young buffalo hunter down
In the Texas Panhandle was busy skin
ming a buffalo when five Cheyennes Of
Chief Bear Shields band rode up, sa-
luted him with a grave How" and
sat on their ponies idly watching his
work. Although the hunters Sharps
rifle was lying some distance away,
he was not worried, for the Cheyennes
were supposed to be peaceful at that
time.
Presently one of the red men dis
mounted and picked up the Sharps
as though to examine 1t and, as he
did so, another reached across and
whipped the pistol from the holster In
the hunters belt. Instantly the first
Indian struck the white man a muir
derous blow across the forehead with
the rifle aud in broken but emphatic
English told him to git" The hunter
was o~utnumbered five to one; he
"got."
The victim of the Cheyennes was
"Bat" Masterson. William Barclay
Masterson was his name, but his sue
cess as a buffalo hunter had won him
the title of BAT" as a worthy success
or to Baptiste Brown, "old d d
mighty slayer of game In the oiu ua6s'
Masterson reached his camp In saIety'
That night he rode stealthily Ito
Bear Shields village and "cut out" 40
Of the old chiefs ponies. As he worked
he came upon another rider engaged
In the same occupation. 1t proved
to be Billy Tighlman, a fellow buffalo
hunter who later became a famous dep
uty United States marshal.
When In 1874 a a party swept
down upon the Adobe Walls, the buff
falo hunters headquarters, some oil
Bear Shields warriors rode with it,
and one of the defenders of the little
stockade was bat" Masterson. Then
and there he obtained revenge for the
blow which the Cheyenne had struck
him.
After the Adobe Walls fight, Ma
terson enlisted as a scout for General
Miles and served with him until the
southern plains tribes were subdued.
A few years later he was elected
sheriff of Ford county, Kansas. Dodge
city, the county seat, was one of the
toughest cowboy towns In the West,
but when Masterson resigned In 1881
1t was one Of the most peaceful. BY
his courage and his skill he had es-
tablished a record second only to Wild

CAREFULLY CONSIDER
DIVERS ENTERPRISES
Hasty Conclusions Should Be
Cautiously Avoided.
No Reason for Assuming All Activ-
tiles of Farm Should Be Devoted
to One Big Money Crop
Study All Angles.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In making use of the results of a
years cost accounts for the purpose
of perfecting the organization of The
farm. hasty conclusions should not be
drawn. Sometimes a positive decrease
in profits may ensue If an enterprise
be dropped, because, taken alone, 1t
has failed to pay. Cows, for instance,
may not be showing a net profit, but
IL all the cows were sold there might
be no other way of using up the
roughaee and it would become dead
loss. Labor devoted night and morn
ing to milking and feeding cows and
charged to them would be entirely
lost If the cows were sold and moth
ing supplied to fill in the time.
The fact that the hogs or the corn
crop bring in the most net money u
ing the season Is no reason for assum-
ing that all the activities of the farm
in the future should be devoted solely
70 hogs or corn. 1t may be that the
keeping of cows is partly responsible
for making the hogs so profitable, or
that the growing of wheat, clover, or
other crops in rotation with corn
makes the latter crop much more prof
liable than 1t would have been II
grown alone.
Similar conditions will be met with
on all farms. and, therefore, no sud
den changes should be made on the
basis of what a single years accounts
may indicate. All angles of he en-
terprlse should be taken into consid-

THE LONG SHOT MADE BY BILLY
DIXON

"The old Sharps rifle ended the
North American buffalo," once wrote
Theodore Roosevelt, the chronicler of
the winning of the West, and he
might have added that this famous
gun helped write "Finis" to the story
of the Indian with a few periods Of
lead.
One of the most remarkable shots
ever made with this rifle TOOK place
at the Adobe Walls fight In the Texas
Panhandle in 1874, when a war party
of Kiowas, Comanches and Cheyennes
tried to wipe out a little group of buff
falo hunters who had their headquar-
ters there. The shot was fired by
Billy Dixon, known to the Indians as
"Hasta-Long Hair"
After three charges against the
stockade had failed to overwhelm the
buffalo hunters, the Indians settled
down to starve them out. During the
siege bat" MastersOn, one of the
hunters, noticed a group of Indians
gathered on a hill nearly three-quar-
ters of a mile away. They could be
plainly seen, and were evidently talk
ing over some new plan for overcom-
ing the white men when Masterson
called Dixon's attention to the group.
"Billy, it wouldn't be a bad idea to
break up that little pow-wow over
there, would It'll" he said.
Don't know whether the old Sharps
Is good for 1t or not, but I'll try it,"
replied Dixon. He knew the range
approximately 1,200 yards. Fixing the
sights of his gun to this range, the
scout aimed carefully and fired. The
white men saw the conference of the
warriors break up hastily and the saw
ages retreat to a safer place.
Dixon served as a scout for General
Miles in the campaign against the
southern tribes that year, and he was
one of the six dispatch bearers who
made a heroic stand in an old buffalo
wallow against a war party of 125
Comanches and Kiowas. In this fight
Amos Chapman, a fellow scout, lost
his leg. Although Dlxon's shirt front
was riddled with bullets, he received
only one slight wound. That night
he volunteered to go for help and
after a perilous trip he brought back
a troop of cavalry and rescued his
comrades.
For nine years Dixon was a govern
ment scout at Fort Elliott, Tex. Then
he homesteaded a ranch in the Pan
handle, building his log house on the
ruins of the old Adobe Walls where
he had made his famous shot with The
old Sharps. Later he moved to Cimar-
ron county, Oklahoma. and died near
the little town of Gresham in 1914

"Good music in the farm home will

Secretary Wallace recently wrote in
response to a request for an express
sion on the subject.
Music is one of the good things of

smooth inside and out, with rounded
surfaces, and with no grooves nor
cracks in which food can lodge, give
the best service. Elaborate utensils
that are difficult to clean often waste
rather thai save labor and time.
Is the utensil the right size and
shape? Small quantities Of food can
be cooked best and most economically
in small utensils. For use on the gas
or oil stove, the saucepan or the
double boiler with Haring bottom that
extends beyond the flames will a v

Can the utensil be used for more
than one purpose? This is especially
important If storage space is limited.
Use Of Standard Materials.
Aluminium is light in weight and
color, is an excellent conductor Of
able. When darkened with use 1t ean
be frightened by a weak vinegar So
luton, SOUL milk, soul fruit juice, or
by securing with fine steel wool or
whiting. All traces of the vinegar or
other acid should be thoroughly
washed off. Strong soaps or washing
powders containing alkalis discolor
aluminium and should never be used
on 1t.
Earthenware and stoneware heat
evenly, are less noisy in use than
metals, are excellent for mixing bowls
and baking dishes. Both these mate
rails are heavy to handle and chip and
crack If carelessly used. They should
be cleaned in hot, soapy water, or, II
necessary, soaked In a solution Of
washing soda. S%craping OF securing
spoils the glaze and exposes the por-
GUS clay underneath, which quickly alb
serbs grease, moisture and dirt.
Clipped earthenware and stoneware
dishes are not sanitary.
Enamel and agateware are smooth,
easily cleaned, attractive in appear
ance, and are not affected by mild
acids or alkalis. They must, how

ever, be handled gently otherwise the
glaze chips, exposing an Iron or steel
surface that may be affected by water
and acids and thus injure food. Also,
the chips themselves may get into food
and be swallowed with 1t. New pieces
should be toughened by filling with
cold water, bringing slowly to the boil
ing point and letting the water cool in
the utensil. 1t should be cleaned
like e~arthenware, not secured or
scratched.
Glassware Is smooth, not affected by
foods, and because 1t is transparent,
excellent for vessels in which to store
food. Special kinds are also good for
cooking utensils. Glass must be care
fully handled, for 1t is easily broken
and .chipped. Ordinary glassware will
be ~toughened if covered with cold
water, brought slowly to the boiling
point, and cooled in the same water.
Grow Better With Use.
Iron and steel utensils grow better
and smoother with careful use. They
take and keep an even heat. The
cast-iron bake kettle, or Dutch oven,
with tight-ttting lid, is for this reason
especially good for pot roasts and
other dishes that require long, slow
cooking. Iron and steel utensils, how
ever, rust easily and are heavy, diff
ficult to keep clean, and not ecOnomi-
cal of fuel on the modern gas range.
To prevent rust, fat should be rubbed
on and baked into these utensils
when new, and they should be kept
at all times In a dry place. Rust may
be secured off with bath brick or steel
wool; kerosene will also help II the
utensll is very rusty.
Tin Is light In color, fairly inexpen-
sive, and is not affected by weak acids
or alkalis unless the plating is in
jured. On the other hand, It melts
easily; If scratched, the surface un-
derneath rusts; and such acid foods
as cranberries and tomatoes should
not be cooked in 1t. There are two
kinds of tinware-plain and block. In
both there is a plating of tin on iron
or steel foundation.
Plain tin is light in weight. easily
bent, and cools quickly. Block tin Is
heavier, more durable, and holds the
heat longer. Tin cooking utensils per-
haps cost less than any other kind,
but are not economical unless given
very good care. They should be
washed In hot, soapy water, or If nee
essary, soaked in a weak solution Of
washing soda, rinsed, and dried thor
oughly. The tarnlsh on tin protects
it, and should not be secured Off
simply to make the utensil bright.

Highgate Springs Camp Notes

Everything points to the greatest
season this summer resort has ever
| experienced. Cottages are pretty well
rented up already, the desirable ones,
for the season. Several old cottages
have been rebuilt and greatly i'm
proved, notably the M. D. Smith and
Dubois cottages in Camp Randolph,
the Horner cottage on Shipyard Bay
and several new cottages are being
/ built. M. d. Smith has built new
cottage on the lower street in the
Randolph Camp, and Mr.. Van Allen
of Swanton is building a new cottage
on Platt's, on the ridge. J. B.
Eldridge of Waterbury has COM
menced work on a new cottage near
Captain Eldridge's old summer home.
Both the summer hotels, the Frank
lin House and the New Lake View,
have the best music Obtainable for
the pavilion dances, which is big
feature of the season here. The
Franklin House has Carroll's famous
orchestra for Wednesday nights and
the st. Adams orchestra for Satur-
days. Platt's Phantasia has a Bos-
ton orchestra, "Hal" and Jacks"
that has played to delighted audiences
in this part of the state.
Notable improvements have been
made upon the grounds of the Lake
View and the interior of the Frank
lin House. New bath rooms, new
fancy birch floor to the dining room,
new indirect lighting, etc, make this
fine old house very modern and up
to-date. Every room is booked for
