Topeka, Kan. Assistant Secretary State Tom Botkin has made a dis covery which he says is the natural result of the prohibition war of Gov ernor Stubbs and Attorney General Dawson. Kansans who go to Kansas City load up with a supply of whisky und take It home for consumption. Botkln was a passenger on a re turning train from Kansas City Te cently. "We were not out of Kansas City far when I riding in the smoker, smelled whiskey," Botkin said. "1 looked all around to see where the odor came from, and finally conclud ed someone had broken a bottle In the car. Evidently other men in the car smelled the whisky and were thinking of the same thing for near ly everyone slipped down, opened up his grip and either looked or stuck his hund inside to see if his own bot tle was leaking." Botkin said his guess was correct, for It was found later that a quart bottle was broken underneath a seat and was running all over the floor. "This Is one ot the results of Gover nor Stubbs' prohibition crusade," he said.' DOGMA LEADS TO JAIL. BrollnTs-ln-I jv Quarrel Over Bap tism of Infant. Centertown. Ark. E. P.

With the meeting of the board of control of the state water division No. 2 today at the court house, the first step In the adjudicating of the water rights of over 300 claimants In Umatilla county has been started. The work of the board today consisted simply of the calling of the docket and the appearance of the defendants either In person or through attorney with the answers. The rest of the af. temoon will probably be consumed in the calling of the docket. Water Commissioner Cochran is presiding and the government Is being repre sented by United States District At torney John McCourt and Deputy Oliver P. Morton. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that the majority of the cases will not come to trial but will be settled out of court. According to the gov ernment prosecutors, the government is not disposed to deprive any of the water users of their rights but simply wishes to determine what these rights are so that waste may be prevented. The only fight that is anticipated is with the bid ditch companies. Fur nish, Henrietta and others, and It is very probable that these cases will be hard fought for the attorneys for the defendant will conduct a vigorous op position to any attempt to reduce the amount of water which they are us ing. BEAN CROP FATTENS PROFITS IN IDAHO Juliaetta. Idaho, June 12. That the growing of beans in the Totlatch section has proven a paying branch of farming Is evidenced by the plant ing this year of the largest acreage in the history of the country. On the Big Potlatch ridge fully double the acreage of that of any previous year is planted to beans. On Fix ridge the Increase of bean acreage this year over any former year will be about 50 per cent, while on American and Bear ridges the increase is about as great. A crop of beans on a piece of land is far better for the landthan sum mer fallowing, and enables the farm er to rid his land of a larger per cent of noxious weeds than he could with other crops. Bean patches in the Potlatch sec tion consist of 40, SO and even 160 acres. The area on which beans can be grown successfully is so small that the bean raiser is almost sure of a remunerative price for his crop. The. fact that both corn and beans can be grown successfully and profitably in the Totlatch section, to alternate with wheat, oats and barley, makes the land attractive to the easern home seeker, Death Sentences for Three.
