HUT WAVE TOD GREJITFORBEST Fl Weather Man Somewhat Overdoes Things but Many Crops Prosper Under Sun's Rays This Week. Boise, August 18.—The past week was exceptionally warm, especially during the latter half when excess ively high temperatures were record ed. Rain occurred only in small widely scattered areas and mostly in small amounts, although the rainfall in portions of the Panhandle was sufficiently heavy to be of benefit to crops and to pastures and range*. There was little cloudiness and the percentage of sunshine was high. In the Boise-Payette valley there was little wind movement but in the up per Snake river valley and over the Twin Falls region hot drying wind* occurred. It was too hot and dry for the best progress of crop* generally, but it was ideal corn weather and in irri gated districts that crop made splen did progress. The heat and drying winds carried away soil moisture with great rapidity and it wa^ necessary to make liberal applications of irriga tion water to keep crops growing. Dry farm crops are suffering from lack of moisture', although the bulk of dry farm grain was well on the wajf to maturity before the drought became damaging. Late sown spring wheat and the beet seed crop in some fields were damaged to some extent by hot winds. Hay cured rapidly and the bulk of the second crop of alfalfa is now in the stack. Timothy harvest is pretty well over. A plenti ful Crop of fine quality has been se cured in the be*t of condition. Garden and truck crops made good progress; potatoes are maturing in good shape; sugar beets made satis factory advances; the beet seed crop i* being harvested. Fruit is doing well generally but prunes are drop ping too freely in. some commercial districts. Although pastures and ranges are in need of rain and dry ing badly in some localities range feed ia still adequate and range stock continue to thrive. Heavy shipments of beef cattle and la nibs are being made from Adams county and tifey are coming off the range in fine condition. Notes From the Field.

Not long since, The Tribune dis covered a man who never asked, "It this hot enough for you?" and last Wednesday a reporter found a man 7 years of age who was not a crack ball player in his younger days. We are now earnestly seeking for a man who was not a "devil" in a printing office at some stage of his life. Rice, Reed, Thorp, Smithson, Dun bar, Kelleher and Tukey returned from the mountains last Sunday. They went to Payette lakes and had a good time—if hard traveling over mountain roads for 10 days and four days in camp can be called a good time. Contrary to all expectations, the party brought no deer or bear home and their friends who were expecting to eat venison or bear are somewhat disappointed. This is eas ily accounted for, however, when the facts are known, all hard feelings will disappear and the boys will be be held up as shining examples of law abiding citizens. Some vulgar minds will jump at the conclusion that there are no hunters in the party but this merely shows the narrow minds of some people. It was not through a lack of ability that the party returned empty handed but through a superior knowledge of the law. Rice and Reed, both being law yers, called the attention of the baser minds to the fact that it is unlawful to kill deer in Idaho until September and thereby undoubtedly saved the lives of countless numbers of deer. And bear—well, that is' different. Rev. Anderson of this city looks as though he could fight as well as preach, should the circumstances warrant. The other day as he was walking along the street, he observed two drunks who were quarreling and 'ust as he got opposite one of them cnocked the Other down and began kicking him. The reverend gentle man quietly grabbed the pugnacious and boisterous one by the collar, marched him around the corner, turn ed him over to the marshal and con tinued on his way as though nothing had happened. The railroad has at last respected Kimball street crossing and the agent has orders to keep it open. The shoes is now on the other foot, for the crossing below the depot is blocked up with impunity and freight trains. This lower road is being traveled a great deal and the other day five freight wagons on çne side of the track and one on the other were compelled to wait half an hour. The railroad needs about twice as much side trackage as they have here but there is no probability of them laying it. Payette has the only three-story building on the O. S. L. in Idaho. It Presents a fine appearance and is a itting monument to the enterprise of our bustling sisterd town. Next Monday morning another party of pleasure and recreation seekers will start for the mountains of Drybuck, to spend a couple of months courting nature and incident ally, each other. This party is the "largest and noblest of them all" and embraces many mighty men skilled in the arts of war, and ladies fair enough to die for without a strug gle.

GRE ENLUND DRUG STORE Hank Dorman, an old, experienced frontiersman and guide. The culinary department will be under the control of experienced cooks, while drivers who made themselves famous on the Overland trail will pull the ribbons over the frisky steeds. Saddle horses for the entire party, under a real cowboy, drill bring up the rear. The personnel of the party is as follows: Gen. William Dorman and wife, Captain H. W. Dorman, Miss Lillie Dorman, Lieut William McKenzie and mother. Miss Alice McKenzie, Miss Ida Frost, Major Frank Olm stead and wife, Miss Jennie Maxey, Post Surgeon W. C.

Dee, Ernest Boone, Charles Blessenger and Jim Haynes. * Dunbar took a big cheese knife with him to the mountains to slaugh ter a bear. But the bear refused to be .slaughtered. W. W. Dryden brought into The Tribune office this week some samples of Reynolds creek wheat raised by Charlie Share. It is claimed to go 100 bushels to the acre and after a careful examination, our ag ricultural editor says he believes it will do it. Mr. Dryden says he did not bring over the beat samples as his axe was dull and he was hardly strong enough to work his way into the field where the "best grain was growing. Several Piute bucks and squaws with a sprinkling of papooses have been enjoying the freedom of the town this week. There are also four bucks languishing in jail for getting boisterous on boose Saturday night. Verily the noble Redmen follows in the footsteps of his paleface brother Ugly but powerful. Weiser signal At an early hour Monday morning we began to think that the office was haunted. Things .were running along quite smoothly when all of a sudden a lot of type "pied" without visible cause and (lies began to leave in haste via the window route. The job press refused to budge and the paste pot began to give forth an unusual and unbearable odor. Our hair stood on end. Upon looking around we real ized the- cause when we beheld a powerful but ugly mug projecting in side the door jam. We rushed quick ly around, turned down his collar, looked at the strawberry mark on his left shoulder and grasped the paw of Al Steunénberg, first degree liar, with The Caldwell Tribune. About the biggest baseball joke ever pernetrstea on the baseball community emanated last week from Montpeliar, a hamlet in the south eastern part of the state, in the shape of a challenge issued by the baseball club of that place to cross bats with any town in Idaho for $500 the side and the championship of the etste. The editor of the paper there is en titled to no little credit for this pro duction of his preponderence of brain and a situation on any comic page is open for him at any time. Fer a team that has never won a gall game in its life, except it be from a kid team of its own town, to throw the whole state into spasms by issuing such a challenge was a happy hit— in fact, the first "hit" that the club has made during its career. \ RECIPES. * * + Sandwich Filling. As this is the season for picnics reunions, sandwiches seem to be the main item in planning a picnic 1 dinner. The following is very economical, easily prepared and a very palatable sandwich filling: Six hard-boiled • J .t ««»ru-Douea eggs, six small pickles (sweet preferred), one small bottle of stuffed olives (all chopped very fine). Delicious Apple Pie. Fill rather deep pie plate with sliced, sour apples. Sweeten and spice to taste (I use a shake of nut P«t on top crust and bake. When done loose^ nedges of crust from plate and turn pie top side down on another plate. Pile sweet ened, t whipped cream on top and serve while warm. There won't be any left. You will notice there is no under crust used. Stuffed Eggs. _ Six hard-boiled eggs, cut in halves. Take out yojks and mix with equal amount of minced ham. Season with salt, pepper, one tablespoon butter, and parsley, if liked. Fill the eggs, place in buttered dish and pour over one cup white sauce. Sprinkle with one cup buttered bread crumbs and bake IS minutes. Cabbage Soup. _ Chop 1-4 small head cabbage very fine and cook in just enough salted water to cover it. When tender add milk, butter, pepper aod salt. Serve. The Whole Secret of A Better Tire Simply a Matter of the Maker 9 8 Policies This you will realize—once you .try a Brunswick—that a super-tire is possible only when the name certifies that the maker is follow ing the highest standards. For tire making is chiefly a mat ter of standards and policies—cost plus care. Any maker can build a good tire if he cares to pay per fection's price. All men know Brunswick stand ards', for Brunswick products have been famous for 74 years. Formulas, fabrics and standards vary vastly in cost. Reinforce ments, plies and thickness are a matter of expense. And these vari ations affect endurance. It rests with the maker how far he wishes to go—how much he can afford to give. For there are no secrets nor pat ents to hold one back. To ascertain what each maker offers one must analyze and test some 200 tires—as our laboratories have done. Then it is a matter of combining the best features and building ac cording to the highest standards. Once you try a Brunswick you will widerstand how we have built model tires, regardless of factory, expense. , Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the same as other like-type tires. Our saving is on selling cost, through our nation -wide organization. We i - ize that you expect more from Brunswicks, and we assure you that you get it. ONE Bruns wick will tell ycu the story. And then you'll want ALL Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll a S re e> gives so much for your money. - THE BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO.
