NEW POTATO DISEASE
The  wart  disease  is  a  new
enemy of the potato crop which
is attracting great attention  in
Europe, and which is  liable  to
be introduced   into   the   United
States at any time.     A scientific   investigation    proves   that
where a pure malt tonic  is  desired golden grain belt   beer   is
richest in nutrition and a wholesome drink that aids digestion.-

A heavy canopy of smoke
has hovered over the whole
Northwest for several days,
completely obscuring the sun
since Sunday. Monday afternoon it became so dark that artificial lights were resorted to
in both dwellings and business
places. The effect of the sun
shining th%u the smoke was
most spectacular, the sky presenting a peculiar coppery appearance- Everything had the
appearance of being seen thru
a piece of yellow or copper colored glass. '.' ■
At first many were unwilling
to believe that the cause of this
peculiar condition of the atmosphere was smoke as it did not
have that appearance but there
is no question but it comes from
the great forest fires m Idaho,
western Montana and Oregon
and having traveled so far has
reached a high altitute
that the smoky color and smell
cannot be detected.

Frank Karel, who lives
near the school house in district 99 has been getting
his water from the school
well as his well has gone dry.
Some time ago the pump handle vva-s taken otf and after
that Mr. Karel used his
own pump handle. Last week
he found that some one had
dumped dirt and manure into
the well evidently to prevent
him from getting water.
As Mr. Karel had supplied
the school with water from
his well for four years free
of charge he now feels that he
ought not be denied the privilege of using water from the
school well now when his own
well is dry.
Mr. Karel suggests that
it would be a good plan to
have the well cleaned out before school s'arts.
We publish this at Mr.Kar-
els request.—Editor.
A young lad, giving his
name as Frank Eberding or
Everding, came to John
Priemesberge*'s place a few
days ago, He savs he lives
in the town of Ripley and
came here to get work. He
is barefoot and very poorly
clothed and is about ten years
of age. The boy probably
left home without his parents'
knowledge which is what Mr.
Priemesbe ger would like to
know.
Monday afternoon at her
home in Agram a few miles
west of Pierz occured the death
of Mrs. Paul Gendreau. While
the deceased had been in ill
health for nearly twenty years,
the end came after a paralytic
stroke of which she had been
the victim just two weeks. Mrs.
Gendreau contracted pneumoni-
a a few days ago and this dis-
iease hastened her death.
The deceased was born in
Canada and was married to
Paul Gendreau while still residing in the Dominion in 1875.
Ih 1881 they moved to Little
Falls and resided in that city
for two years, after which
they moved to a farm in
Agram, where they have since
lived.
Mrs. Gendreau is survived by
a husband and seven children
all of whom were at the bedside at the time of her death,
so The children are Eugene, Hector, Olive, Lousian, Homer,
Adelord and Eugenia. All live
at home with the exception of
Hector, whose residence is at
Great Falls, Mont., but who
was called home by the illness
of his mother.
The funeral was held from the
French Catholic church Wednes-
morning under the auspices of
the Christian Mothers' Society.

PROTECTING   CATTLE
FROM FLIES AND
INSECTS
At   this   time   of   the   year,
much discomfort to   cattle   and
loss to their owners  is  caused
by flies and other insects. Feed : the front to help with tin-
becomes scarce at this season;
and this, combined with lighting flies and ofttimes leaving
such feed as there is to seek
relief from the pest in the brush
—or in the water where this
can be found—often results in a
loss ot weig-ht.
Late reports from the Coeur
d' Alene district in Idaho and
other points in that vicinity indicate that the situation is most
alarming and is liable to become more critical unless rain
comes soon. Practically the
whole of the Idaho Panhandle
is aflame and no human force is
capable of combating the (la mes.
Attention is now being given
principally to the saying of
lives and all the troops that
can be had are being rushed   to

Many are now known to have
been burned to death and blinded and crazed by the terrible
holocust and how many others

Ancient   Emblem   Used   In  the   House
of   Representatives.
With all its dignity. Its senatorial
courtesy and the forms and ceremonies that always are observed, the senate ls far behind the house of representatives In the matter of one antiquated piece of furniture. The senate
has no niaee. Now. a maee is not
much In the way of furniture. It is a
silver eagle mounted upon a staff
around which are-bands of silver.
This mace is always au emblem of
the house of representatives. It is the
duty of one employee to look after it.
Just before a session of the house begins be takes it from the office of the
sergeant-at-arrns into the house chamber, and as soon as the speaker's gavel
falls he inserts it In a socket iu a
stone pillar at the right of the speaker's chair. The mace remains there
while the house is in session and is
taken out and stood beside its pedestal when the house ls in committee of
the-whole. When tbe house adjourns
the maee is carried back to the office
of the sergeant-at-nnns.
This aneleut emblem has uot a thing
to do with the order of business Of the
house, save as one of the old time regulations Hi.11 are continued. When the

Only once or i w Ice when the speaker
failed to prtwrvt* order have I seen an
officer sei/.e ihe mace aud walk

of it brought uienibwrs lo their senses
and they retired to their snais. At all

the loss in milk yields resulting
from the annoyance caused by
flies is often quite material.
Many different anti-fly mixtures and "dopes" have been
used with more or less success.
Several of those advertised
have been used by the writer,
and found fairly efficient in
keeping flies off animals for
from 3 to 12 hours, varying
with the nature of the mixture
and the amount applied. The
mixtures are usually applied
most satisfactorily by means of
a small hand spray pump,
which costs about a dollar.
They can be thus applied in a
very short time, and the only
important item of expense is
the mixture itself. Most of the
patent mixtures cost from seventy-five cents to one dollar a
gallon. Where considerable
quantities are used, the necessary ingredients can be purchased and the mixture made
up at a cost of 30 to 50 cents
per gallon.
One of common mixtures is 3
parts of fish oil and 1 part kerosene. The fish oil contained
in many of them costs about
45 cents a g-allon in barrel lots
or 60 cents in ten gallon lots, in
Minneapolis.
Another good mixture is: 100
parts fish oil; 50 parts, oil of
tar; 1 part crude carbolic acid.
Another, recommended by
the Kansas station is: 1 1-2 lbs.
resin; 2 cakes laundry soap; 1-2
part fish oil; 1-2 part kerosene,
mix thoroly and add water to
make three gallons.
Oil of tar—a verjr common ingredient, and one that gives a
pleasant odor and makes the
mixture   stick-

that there are prospects of
