ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.

Shortly before three O'Clock on
Wednesday morning safe cracksmen
blew into Greenwood and attempted
to dynamite the vault in the Bank of
Montreal. Six distinct and loud re-
ports at about five minute intervals
were heard by those living in the
neighborhood of the bank and many
people were aroused from their slum-
cut the 200 wire cable and the long
distance wires leading to the tele-
phone office; also cut the telegraph
wires on both sides of the c. Z. II.
station and it was impossible to notify
the police of what was going on. They
also broke the electric light at the
corner Jno. Meyer, who lives OppO-
site the bank, on hearing noise star
ted to come out but guard at the
corner fired at him, breaking windows
at the rear of his store and shattering
the woodwork inside. Entry was
made by forcing the rear door and the
only tool left was a heavy bar with
| c. p r. stamped on it.
1t is supposed that there was a
gang of five or six, two working in
the bank and the remainder on guard.
Although they dynamited the vault
several times they failed to break
open the door and left without get
ting anything either because they ran
out of powder or they may have been
frightened away by the movements OF
Jno. Meyer.
The police have finger prints of the
safe blowers and very good descrip
tion of the car in which they wer'
driven.
The interior of the bank was slight
ly damaged, the force Of the explosion
stopped the clock at ten minutes t.
three, breaking a window In front O
the vault and several on the side o
the building. The vault door an,
casing will have to be replaced

TvDe OF Farxnin0 Determined
By Hind of Soil i'm District

we urge changes in the type of farm
ing because of unusual economic diff
ficulties in the marketing of wheat.
At the same time, the wheat grower
must realize that wheat is a world
crop and producers compete in the
world markets. Moreover, where
wheat is produced exclusively, the
soil will suffer and cannot yield prof
liable crops continually. Even in the
great wheat sections, other crops must
be grown in rotation and live stock
raised so that the fertility rapidly con-
sumed by exclusive wheat farming
may be retained so that the labor may
be well distributed during the year,
so that there will be more than one
source of income, so the family larder
may be kept full from products grown
on the farm and so that setback in
prices, whether due to world condi-
tions, or to temporary causes, may
not react too seriously upon the far
mer. In the wheat belt where the
rainfall Is such as to justify say is
inches or above, every effort must be
made to establish a permanent system
of agriculture through a rotation sys'

LOOMS MAN MEETS
WITH TRAGIC END.


When the saddle horse Of VIM. Bur
berry of Horse Springs coulee, who
had gone to drive some cattle, return
ed home last Wednesday without its
rider, search was started and he
was traced to the south shore Of Spec
tacle lake where there were marks
Indicating that the young man had
fallen from his horse and rolled down
a forty foot slope into the lake. The
lake was then dragged with graphing
hooks and after long search his
body w0s recovered.
William Burberry, who was % years
of age, was subject to attacks of epi-
lepsy and It Is believed that malady
caused him to fall from his horse at
that place above the deep water Of
the lake. In recent months his epilep-
the fits had not been severe and had
been less frequent and his condition
was apparently improving.
His cap was found on the top Of
the bluff and blood stains leading to
the edge of the water gave the search
ers clue as to the location of the
body.
VIM. Burberry is survived by his
mother, two brothers and two sisters.
His father, w. P. Burberry, died last
spring.
The funeral service was conducted
by the Rev. d. Vincent Gray of Oro-
vile, at the family residence In Horse
Springs coulee at 3 p. m. Sunday.

SCRUB STOCK Is GOING.

Within the past five years the
scrub dairy stock in this state has
decreased so per cent the department
of agriculture has found. 1t has been
proven to dairymen that this class
of cows is Improbable and Wash
ington now ranks near the top Of all
states in the class of its dairy cattle.
However, many dairymen still hesi-
tate to get rid of scrubs among
thoroughbred stock though 1t COM
monty is recognized that some in
ferior stock creeps among the regis
tered herds.
In the districts where dairying is
just being taken up extensively, re
ports to the department show that al
most all farmers buying cows are
getting either good grade cows oil
thoroughbreds. The new dairymeI
are not taking any chances with
scrub stock.

FOOTBALL GAME
RESULTS IN TIE
oRovlLLE HORNETS PLAY ScoR.
LESS GAME WITH okANoG-
AN BULLDOGS FRIDAY.

The game between the OrOville
Hornets and the Okanogan Bulldogs
played at Okanogan Friday, while In
teresting to the fan was a poor exhibi-
ton of football. Had either team
shown some of the snap and initia-
tive of two weeks previous the score
might have been different from o
to 0 tie.
The Bulldogs played a deceptive
game on end runs which netted
them nearly their entire yardage gain
ed. The Hornet backs made fair yard
age through the Okanogan line, and
the ends on around end plays. The
Hornet defense was listless and they
allowed OkanOgan to score on very
simple plays. Interference was poor
on both teams with Orovirle making
a slight better showing.
the aerial game of the Hornets
that Okanogan looked for did not ma
terialize. Two passes were successful
out of 13 tried by the Hornets and two
were successful out of IL tried by the
Bulldogs. Punt receiving by both
teams was a decided fluke.
Oroville scored more first downs
than the county seat aggregation and
most of the game was played between
the Hornet 40 yard line and the Bull
dog 20 yard line. Okanogan showed
coaching for the Hornet formations
but little work on the foundations of
the game.
Both teams play ed Il clean game.
