Sad Accident on Thlrtymlle.
Lester Frizzell, who was found
in a dying condition on the banks
ofThirtymile near the A. D.
Hardie ranch, is getting along
as nicely as could be expected. It
wast just by mere chance that the
lad, who is only 12 years of age,
was found in time to save his life.
Chas. Underwood was riding
along the creek when he got off
to tighten his saddle, and when
ready to mount heard a groan
and then another, which seemed
so queer in that lonely spot that
he investigated. On going down
to the creek, he found the lad ly
ing in the creek among the bould
ers. It seems that the lad, who
was walking back to town, spied
a hawk's nest in a tree, but
before reaching it he must have
lost his balance and fell 15 feet
among the rocks below.
Lester was taken to the Hardie
ranch, where Drs. Wood and
Gavey removed a piece of the skull
bearing on the brain. The skull
was badly fractured. The lad
although unconscious is recover
ing nicely. His parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Merrit Frizzell, who were in
Portland at the time, arrived at
the bedside of their son on Sun
day. '

FARMERS ABE EAGER TO LEARN
Large Crowd Gathers to Hear
Speakers on O. R. & N.
Demonstration Train
BETTER FARMING METHODS
How to Increase Profits Crow
Crops that Enrich Summer
Fallow and Raise More
Fat Hogs.
Great was the enthusiasm of
the farmers of this vicinity on
Tuesday morning during the
lectures of the pioneer O.R. & N.
demonstration train, which
showed that our farmers are in
terested in the gospel of good
fanning. On account of the
cold morning the lectures were
held in one of tho cars and many
were unable to get within hear
ing distances.
So interesting and beneficial
were the words of the speakers
that the farmers went home with
loud praises of the efforts of the
officials of the railroad and of the
speakers who accompanied the
train. The lectures were not
stereotyped discources on farm
ing but were full of good sound
information on better farming,
especially adapted to this great
wheat center.
In speaking with Mr. Miller,
who was instrumental in secur
ing the demonstration and who
was also in charge, he explained
that it was the desire of the rail
road company that perfect co
operation shall exists between
the farmers and the railroads for
the reason that any increase in
agricultural products " which
would result from better farm
ing would benefit both the farm
ers and the railroad company.
Dr. Withycombe warned the
farmers that it would be impos
sible to continue indefinitely the
growing of wheat declaring that
there were but few other crops
that were more exhausting on
the soil. He asserted that every
ton of wheat shipped from the
farm carries with it $8 worth of
plant food, all of which could be
saved or returned to the soil by
livestock husbandry. He spoke
in glowing terms of the fine mar
ket that would be provided foi
livestock by the establishment
of great abattoirs at . Portland.
He expressed the belief that the
best returns from land now idle
in Summer fallow could be se
cured from peas, rape or alfalfa,
which could be fed to hogs at a
great profit as well as incidently
being of great value in returning
to the soil properties that had
been exhausted by continued
cropping to wheat even when
Summer fallowing was practised.
"There should be trainloads of
fat hogs and sheep shipped out
annually from this section" he
added.
Professors Bradley and Scud
der went into the details regard
ing the plainly demonstrated ad
vantage of crop rotation and
showed in a convincing manner
how all of the Summer-fallow
land now idle could be cropped
to the advantage of the wheat
crop, and also to yield a heavy
profit in the off year when wheat
was not grown, thus advocat
ing the growing of two wheat
crops in three years through
the interspersing of plant food
crops mentioned by Dr. Withy
combe. .
t The train stopped at Clem for
one hour the same day t to give
the valuable treat to the farmers
of that vicinity.
THREE INCHES OF SNOW.
Looks Good to Farmers-Means
Thousands of Dollars.
The finest snowstorm and the
greatest surprise stared the
farmers in the face this morning
and that downhearted expression
caused by constant worrying
over the long dry spell gave way
to contented smiles. There is no
doubt that the three inches of
snow means thousands of dollars.
Dr. and Mrs. W. . Gavey and
little son left Monday for San
Francisco where Mrs. Gavey and
son will visit with her parents
during the summer. The doctor
will return next week.
