THRESHERS WORK

VEST IX WALLA WALLA.
Kala Has Caused Immense to
Fanners Tops of Slacks Huvo
Sprouted and Many Thousands of
Acres Still Standing in the Field,
I'acut.
When the weather Is permissible
threshers In the northern part of Wal
la Walla county are running night and
day in an endeavor to save all the
train possible. For a time It was
thought that a good percentage of the
train In that vicinity would be a total
loss, but as soon as the rain stopped,
work was commenced.
It Is estimated that from two to
three hundred bushels In each stack
are lost by the reason that the grain
... ,..r n.p lt tne stacks sprouted and
this part has to be thrown away.
When the grain was stacked this fall
considerable care was taken to build
the stacks right and to this reason Is
assigned the fact that a lot more of
the grain Is not a total loss.
Farmers near Colfax have lost all
hopes of saving the thousands of acres
of wheat still unthreshed In that vi
olnlty. The threshing machines have
11 pulled in for the winter, and will
no enort to save the grain re
maining. The loss to Whitman county is es
timated to be from a quarter to a
half million dollars. In Whitman
county and Latah county. Idaho, there
m estimated to be nearly a million
bushels of wheat unthreshed.
The most remarkable feature about
this failure is that most of the farmers
who lost by the storm were those who
own their own threshing machines
and who. instead of seeing that their
own crops were safely housed de
voted their time to threshing for their
neighbors. One farmer ran his ma
chine 67 days and now has 200 acres
of wheat a total loss.
Many of the farmers are buying
stock hogs to feed the spoiled grain to
and hope to make some money out of
the damaged wheat In this way
Others will feed large bands of sheep
during the winter and prepare them
for coast markets.
It is thought that next year those
who own threshing machines will fjn.
Ish their own grain early in the sea
son and then attend to their nelh-

C. Ellsworth Is In receipt of a letter
respecting the articles recently found
in tne mountains In the vlcinltv of
cnamoerlain basin. It is from Wll
Ham Morton, principal of the Spring-

thinks an Incident of which he had
knowledge may explain the presence
or the articles In that lonely place.
He says he and A. O. Olmstead were
camped nenr the Ramey river trail
n outiit consisting of two men and
three women started over that trail fo
Dixie. A snowstorm came up an
they lost some of their pack horses.
One of the men came to the writer's
camp, inquiring If the horses had been
seen. He explained there were many
goons on tne lost animals. These In
eluded cigars, champagne, a rifle and a
valise belonging to one of the women.
He adds that It was common gossip
that a well known prospector found
the outfit, took what he wanted and
cached the remainder.
Mr. Ellsworth states no pack horse
would have gone to the spot unless he
had been taken there, and that no one
man would have gone up there to
make a cache. Moreover, no man
would have omitted opening the valise
had he been plundering the outfit.

ing, It must carry conviction to every
reader:
D. W. Cook, 70 years old and re

on Main street, says: "Tha duIL
dragging pain In the small of my back
felt as If two giants were tearing me
apart and at times I felt so miserable
that I could not stand or walk and
was confined to my bed. Urinary
weakness set In, especially at night,
and I was falling physically every day.
At this time I happened to read an ad
about Doan's Kidney Pills and was
much Impressed with the sincerity
of the testimony, which was much
similar to the one I am making now.
I got a box of pills at the Brock A
McComas Co. drug store and they
helped me so that I continued using
them until I had taken several boxes.
Then I could eat, sleep and get
around again without suffering the
least bit of physical pain. I Indorse
