The Hard Freeze Following a Thaw q
Week or Two Ago Finished the
Nork.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, March 27.-The
state department of agriculture is still
without reports regarding the condition
of winter wheat, but from statements
made by farmer members of the legis-
lature and others who come to the
capital from all parts of the state there
seems to be no longer reason to doubt
that the crops will be very short. The
ice that covered the earth for so long a
period during the winter and the hard
freeze following thaw week or 10
days ago have done their work. and
great areas of wheat have been killed
outright.
Much Will Be Flowed Up.
Some localities report damage only,
but thousands of acres will have to be
plowed over as soon as the ground will
admit of il and sown TO other crops. A
member of the legislature from Shelby
county. himself an extensive farmer,
says there is no wheat left in his county
all was winter killed. A member from
Clarke reports the same condition in
that county, anu III IL DeleVeu Lnal
throughout the winter wheat belt oi
Central Illinois there is little OF
no encouragement to look for any con
siderable crop. Reports from the Amer
ican bottom are very discouraging
Railroad men who pass through the
wheat belt agree that the outlook il
very dark. Late rains have been
beneficial in cases where the crop In not
absolutely killed, but the most encour.
aging expression is that the area sowr
to wheat is "spotted."

PORTLAND. May6ISpecial.E Tho Will
lametts river is rising at the. rate Of from
to IL of foot day. The rise il due
partly to melting SHOWS in the mountains
drained by the Willamette, but moro es-
pecially due to the rise in the
Columbia and consequent back water.
Many Of the streams tributary to
the Columbia and Snake are now rising
quite rapidly. The Willamette river stood
yesterday at lila feet, and at Is feet the
lower docks are covered. The weather bu-
reau has received replies to letters sent out
relative to the amount of snow now in the
mountains and how the amount compares
with that in former years. The replies are
uniform in expression that there 10 more
snow now in the mountains than there
has been for many years.
The temperature has been unusually
deficient for the past four months. The
season has advanced to such q stage that
warm weather must prevail. hence . food
is probable. The height that the river
will rise to 10 mere conjecture. Itdepends
OF course upon the temperature. If
the warm weather which prevailed
yesterday and which is forecast for to-
day should continue, the probabilities are
there will be much less of . food than if
the cool weather, which up to Friday
night prevailed. should continue and
then grow warmer about May Is. and con-
tinue warm. In such an event there
would be, by June 20, food of large
proportions.

~ Feasible and OF Easy Grades.
WHATcoM. May 6-[Special. THE FEAST
bility of a route tor the trans-Cascade road
north Of Mount Baker has now been deter
mined beyond all doubts. The Austin
expedition sent out by the county COM
missioners on April returned today, hav-
ing found an easy pass across the mount
tains from the head waters Of the Nooksack
river to Beaver creek. The highest eleva-
ton is 1850 feet, and at no point does the
route blazed by the party approach nearer
than six miles to the international bound
ary. The source of the Nooksack was
found to be glacier on the mountain side
behind or east of Mount Shucksan, about
nine miles south Of the boundary. The
trail DIVORCES from the Nooksack seven
miles below its source and twenty-six
miles from Glacier creek, and there follows
q small tributary southeasterly seven miles
to the summit Of the divide. It is an easy
route from there down Beaver creek to the
broad valley Of the Skagit river. q distance
of twenty-five miles. The total distance
from here to Ruby creek is estimated at
eighty miles.
The party left the pack animals at the
falls OF the Nooksack, carrying all the in
srruments and supplies from there on foot
They were eighteen days in snow from
three to eight feet deep. The route is de-
scribed as an easy one for the construction
of trail or wagon road. and is believed to

Topeka, Kan, May 6-John w. Motif,
who is responsible for the Doodle charges
made by the Topeka Capital against the
state administration, who was lodging
the investigation committee, appeared be-
fore that body today. He admitted that
he had no personal knowledge of the
charges, and confessed that his
entire knowledge was based upon
conversation he GAINS to
have overheard in the Copeland hotel be-
tween between man connected with the
Kansas City stockyards and another man
whose business he did not know. He at
once went to Gov. Lewelling and told him
of the Doodle rumors he had heard. The
governor told him he knew that money
was being raised to get the two warning
houses together, but said nothing
about any other Doodle. Mr.. Moi
tit also told this story to several
friends, among whom was MAJ. Hudson,
of the Capital, but he was surprised to see
the story in print next morning, and said
1t contained some inaccuracies. He ad-
mitted that although Lewelling was his
personal friend. he had made no effort to
verify the SANDER told by two strangers
before he repeated 1t to others. and he had
not attempted to find or identify the
strangers and had not seen them since.
At the conclusion Of Moffatt's testimony
the committee adjourned sine die.

TACOMA. May 6.-[Special.l -Roadmaste
Joe Hamhill. who has charge of ten Sec
tions Of road on the Cascade division of
the Northern Pacific. was arrested today
and placed under s.. 900 bonds at Gle Elum.
He is charged with carrying STRAW" men
on six of his sections and having instructed
the foremen of the section gangs to carry
the men. This sort Of thing went on for
some time. when one of the section bosses.
who thought more Of his position than he
did Of Roadmaster HamhilI, made a con-
fession. Other confessions were then made
by other bosses. About this time it was
reported that Hamhill was preparing to
make his escape and the company nabbed
him.
Hamhill has only been in the employ Of
the company for about six months and his
stealings could not possibly amount to a
large sum, as it was difficult to carry more
than one fictitious name on any one Sec
ton time roll. Before the first confession
was made the auditing department of the
company had suspected that something
was wrong in checking up.
