The wheat fields in Richland and adja-
cent counties look altogether more prom
ising than any we had expected to see this
year. On rolling lands oats are coming
along, recovering from the backwardness
of the spring, and potatoes uniformly look
very fine. Corn is beginning to be seen
above the weeds on ground too wetfor use
of cultivator, and where it has been titled
is about the height one usually would have
looked for two or three weeks earlier. In
climates where short summers are the
rule, it would make something, even with
so late start, and there is reason to ex-
pect that more will result from the delay
ed crops and the winter marred wheat
fields than has been anticipated.

Terrible Fight With Huge Rattlesnake.

In prospecting about fifteen miles
East of La Joya, two men found copper
float, and separated to trace it to the
lead. One of them, Ed Bennett, on
reaching a small hill, discovered an old
shaft. He fired a shot to notify his
partner, and began explorations. The
shaft looked to be about forty feet deep,
and about thirty feet distant there was
an incline connecting with it. He pre-
pared to descend by this. When nearly
at the bottom the loose wash gave way
and he was precipitated downward. He
shouted out to his partner, and was
preparing to look around, when to his
horror he discovered that his descent
had stirred up a rattlesnake. The
blood-curdling warning was rattling
horribly In the silent hole, and caused
cold sweat to ooze from the prospector's
forehead. The gfistening eyes of the
reptile shone upon him In the gloom,
but he was too unused to the place to
distinguish further. He Petrested to a
corner, and as the shaft was large
one-about eight feet square-he had
time to seize rock and prepare him
self The serpent followed, and, spring
ing at him struck his fangs into the top
of his large prospecting boots, and
coiled about his legs. At this time he
could see his surroundings, and with a
desperation equal to the occasion, and
before the reptile had time to withdraw
his fangs, he grasped its scaly neck
and closed his hand with vicelike
grasp. Then ensued contest between
man and reptile, desperation and fury.
The huge serpent alternately tight
ened its coil about-its enemy's leg till
the blood ceased to circulate. and shook
itself in the vain endeavor to wriggle
from the iron grasp. Its horrid rattling
denoted its furious struggles. The
prospector heard the Kisses, could see
the bright greenish eyes flashing fire,
and feel the wiggling of the scales as he
held the snake, but whether standing or
thrown to the ground or lashed by the
tail of his aggressor, he held his grip.
He would occasionally yell,in the hope
of reaching the ears Of his partner.
For at least a quarter of an hour the
struggle continued, the prospectof the
while growing weaker, keeping the
fangs from his body, but feeling that his
enemy was slowly choking to death. Its
lashing became slow, it writhed less,
and finally, after one last struggle, was
dead.
The prospector continued his yells
until his partner came, being too weak
to rise. After some trouble he was
raised to the surface. still grasping the
serpent with his widely-distended
mouth and protruding fangs. It was a
long time before he could renew circu-
lation in his leg, and he is limping yet.
The snake measured twelve feet and
had eighteen rattles.-Socorro IN. NJ. }

The Oldest Railway Conductor in the
United States.

Conductor William Coulter, who runs
the fast morning express between New
York and Philadelphia, on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, has been railroad pas
senger conductor for nearly half CEN
tury, and is the oldest conductor in
point of active service IN the United
States. He began railroading when
there were but three railroads in the
country in South Carolina, one
near New York city and the old New
Castle and Frenchtown road, on the
route between this city and Baltimore.
He was one of the first conductors of
the old New Jersey Transportation
Company, taking charge of his first
train, which ran between Newark and
Jersey City, in 1910.
"Railroading in those days." said
Mr.. Coulter, "was not so comfortable a
business for the conductors as it is now.
We were compelled to assist in braking,
help the baggage-master and not infre-
quently lead fight against the roughs
who insisted upon riding for nothing.
In place of the splendidly upholstered
saloon cars now in use, connected with
the engine by bell-rope, and with
patent steam brakes, we ran compart-
ment cars, after the English fashion OF
to-day, with the passengers facing each
other. There were no cushions nor any
backs to the seats" Mr.. Coulter says
that less than 300 passengers daily con-
istituted the entire through traffic. Dur
ing the forty three years he has been a
conductor, Mr.. Coulter has ridden not
less than 800, 900 miles in New Jersey
and hundreds of thousands more in
Pennsylvania, and has attended to the
numerous wants of over 4,O0O,O pass
engers. While he was on the jersey
City and Newark trains he ran 100, 200
times between the two cities. For
twenty-five years his average run per
day was 1913 miles, and he now averages
1872 miles per day.
Mr.. Coulter looks as if he were good
for twenty years more of service, al
though he is nearly 70 years old
