through the sliderock up the APP
proaches of the mountain, crossed
several chimneys and barriers. and
finally attained the main ridge of the
slope, which ran like a bristling spine
up to the highest pinnacle. Working
now to one side and then to the other
they slowly scrambled from point to
point. At times the use of ropes
were necessary. Once or twice Koch
loaned his broad shoulders as a step
ladder for his comrades to reach a de-
sired objective. SO closely at one
point was he pressed against the rock
that a watch crystal In his pocket
was broken.
At the top the men found a rock
about 20 feet square with a slipping
surface about 80 feet wide by 100
feet long, covered with broken rock,
reaching down from the table and
then sheer walls again. Taking an
eight-foot ash pole, used as a walking
stick, a wooden American flag, 3x5
feet, was bound to 1t and the pole
secured by heaping large rocks about
the base. The men also engraved
their initials In the solid granite with
chisels they had taken along. The
chisels were left on top.
A panorama of pictures toward
each point OF the compass was taken
as well as several photographs of the
climb. Lunch was eaten and the men
found rain water enough In the de-
pressions in the rock to satisfy their
thirst. After waiting two hours for
the second party, the descent was be-
gun. The rope was used constantly
in the descent to help owe the diff
cult places, which seemed wen more

who would secure It.
Meanwhile the other party had se-
lected a route which appeared FEAST
BILE after crossing to the south slope
over the pass between Granite and
glaciers. The original course
to be the same route taken
by the party led by Fred Inabnit
last year reached the top of
the mountain In a couch-like aper-
lure between the two main divisions
Of the mountain. A different route
was therefore selected and the party
gradually worked upward until, after
rounding one particularly dangerous
curve by means OF a rope, they found
'urther progress too difficult. The
'econd party reached camp in time to

ARE MAKING PLANS
FOR DRY LAND IRRIGATION

Win the fall harvesting and farm
work well under way, many farmers
are turning their attention Il plans
for catching spring flood waters and

Much information relative to dry
land irrigation is contained in a bull

State College Extension Service at
Bozeman. The bulletin has just been
received from the publishers and cop

While the bulletin deals with dry
farming in the Triangle" the meth
DDS of dry land irrigation explained
are applicable to other areas where
similar climatic conditions or a like
topography exists.
Holding Surplus Water

CATION" says Mr.. Wilson In the bull

rigation which has been known in
the Triangle as dry land irrigation
Is coming rapidly into prominence
and already Is one OF the important
parts Of the general scheme of farm

of surplus water on the land by dikes

THE foundation of almost every Amer
l. lean meal is bread-"the staff of life"
as it has been called for ages so that
it is most essential that everyone who as
pires to be a good cook should be able to
make several kinds of this important food.
In the making of bread, as in many
other kinds of cooking, the use of milk
adds both to the quality and nutritive
value, and here, again, the richness and
convenience of Carnation Milk are of
advantage.
Light bread is given a finer texture and
a more delicious flavor when it is made in
this way. Try this recipe for

SATISFIED WITH PROJECT
AFTER TRIP TO COAST

Several Fallon parties, who be-
loved that the lights shire brighter
over the summit, and needed the
vacation, have returned to this val
ley, Ia each instance they come back
better eontented and convinced that
the future shines brighter right here
at home than it does on the other
side of the hill.
One party had a vision that the
Fresno section was just to their lik-
ing and they yentured into that
seething heat during the hot spell of
July. After driving the car through
the heat waves and gasping like over
heated turkeys for two days they
were compelled to take a rest before
turning homeward.
Upon their arrival on the farm
near Fallon, and a days rest under
the shade of their own tree, the
whole vision looked so good that
they went to the Longheath farm and
made arrangements to buy the best

tion in the torrid zone of California

GAVE WIFE AWAY;
ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY

George Moose, Piute, is in the
county Jail awaiting a hearing on
the charge of bigamy. His first wife
Rosie Mcdonald Moose, swore to the
complaint charging him with having
wife number two in the person of
Mable Johnnie, whom he married
at the Indian Mission during the
month of February. All of which Mr..
Moose, who in the vernacular of the
day is bear, agrees to.
From what the accused has to say
he is surely out of luck. Following
his first marriage, under the laws
of the white brother, he believed that
he was picking helpmate On the
contrary, so he states, she transferred
her love and wifely affection on an
other member of the tribe and rather
than have personal difficulties with
the huskier man Moose gave Mrs
Moose to the winner, under the
agreement that he keep her for
keeps.
Now CONS the woman in the case
and wants her man to go back on
his gift, an Indian giver. if you
please, and because he had married
Miss Johnnie, and refuses to recon =
slider the gift she has him arrested
and held pending the white mans
law.
In the case of Miss Johnnie, or
number two Mrs. Moose, she has filed
no protest, as 1t is declared that he
only lived with her two weeks after
the marriage and she is at her faith
er's campoodie in Douglas county and
has only regrets for her hasty WOO
ing and marriage.
Mr.. Moose assures the sheriff's
office that the next time he marries
that it will be under the tribe code
of dispensing with license and leav-
ing no written agreement on books
that have a habit of remaining as
| evidence, and furthermore he will
side-step the white parson who sail
so much about love and duty and
other things that only lasted tive
weeks.
This is the first real scandal that
has occurred In the tribe in some
months, or since another young LADY
on the same day and date that Moose
took his number two wife. ran away
with friend of Mr. Moose and :,
living happily ever after near Mar

Egg Reputation Urged
As Market Regulation
Standardization of Product to Comply With
Trade Requirements Set Out By,
Recent Federal Bulletin

There Is no question but that this
| project In the near future Is to be-
come factor In the raising and mar
keting of poultry Climatic condi-
tions together with the abundance
of feed is doing much to attract at
tention to the business of CONNER
cial poultry raising. The success of
several districts In California has re-
suited In whole sections being devot-
ed to market raising of poultry, yet
with the tremendous number of
chickens raised and marketed in the
California sections train loads of
chickens are imported yearly from
middle west sections to fill the de-
mand.
Government Issues Bulletin
Recently the government has is
sued bulletin on building reputa-
tion for quality eggs in which the
advise is given relative to the neces-
sity of grading and marketing as is
done in large cities and catering to
trade that is willing to pay for the
service.
AT the outset the pamphlet states
that II is the well-bred, well cared
for hens that pay. Maximum produc-
tion Is the result of breeding, feed
ing, care and housing. Bulletins are
issued from the department of agri
culture on each subject and are avail
able by application. 1t is suggested
that poultry farmers get these bull
letins and apply the information.
Grading Eggs
Much attention is given to instruc-
tions in grading eggs for city or
merchandise use, as the trouble has
been with the general farmer that
grading is not used and the market
has name accordingly. 1t is sug-
gested that the small, overlarge and
dirty eggs be used at home as they
detract from the appearance of eggs
offered in open market for discrim-
mating consumers. All eggs that
show such defects should be kept at
home, is the advise.
Infertile Eggs
Among the suggestions is that of
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-08-08

producing infertile eggs, which keer
longer and have better price wher
such is known to some consumers
This is done by eliminating the roost
ers from the flock, disposing of all
oockrels and penning up the breed
ing stock.
By keeping eggs cool they remain
fresh longer as the life germ does
not develop In a temperature under
6S degrees. Conditions on most
farms are not favorable for keseing
eggs more than a few days, Btates
the bulletin. The place should be
kept clean, fairly dry and cool. Keep
eggs away from odors, as they alb
sorb the same through the porus
shells. Market them often, eggs do
not improve with age.
Government Grade of Eggs
The U. S. department of agricul-
ture has established tentative nation
al grades of eggs which are intended
for market introduction, that is from
the buyers and consumers stand
PoiHS' hhCoc iAhdt 6idutS WHtu d0-
opted should be given the largest
possible use to the end that eggs
may be marketed on a definite quail
ity basis which will standardize quo
tations throughout the poultry rear
ing sections.
The local agricultural board man
ager has received the recent bulletin
on grading and the county agent will
endeavor to make it plain to the pro-
ducers over the valley the necessity
CT better care in the grading of eggs.
1t is realized at every mercantile
place in this city that grading is not
practiced, and that with the promise
of this section becoming one of the
largest poultry producers in the
state, that plan of standard grading
should be followed.
A look at the market prices In any
of the large papers will be convinc-
ing proof that eggs must stand the
test of freshness, color, size, flavor
and quality before a bid can be made
for the Introduction of the product
into any of the large markets.
