those interested in the development of

interviewed by a representative of this
paper yesterday who gained some points
that are worthy Of more than passing
notice.
The total freight hauled independent
Of all material for road or other con
struction work was l6,7Ss tons for 1871:
l24ls tons for 1872; $3.50 tons for 1895:
$3.50 tons for lSe4: SS.697 tons for 1885
For the nine months ending September
Soth. 1924 the amount hauled was 5l.Isl
tons. Setting beside this 1856 tons, the
amount hauled up TO the end of Sep
TENDER Soth. 1895. there Is found TO be an
Increase Of 24.6S6 tons, g remarkably good
showing.
The freight hauled each year shows a
steady increase Of tonnage although the
political and commercial condition of the
country from 1891 TO the beginning OF
1895 has not been such as 10 encourage
free investment Of capital in any new
industry.
Nevertheless the business along the
line Of the new railway has grown stead

hauled this year OF % per cent. over
the business of last year.

The county was never more abund-
antly supplied with all the coarse
grains than it will be this fall. Oats,
barley and flax are nearly all secured
in good condition, an immense acre.
age and an abundant yield. There
has also been large amount of tim
othy cut for seed and there are many
fields of clover that will be harvested
for the seed which promises we'll. OF
wheat, more has been grown than
for all of the past ten years. and the
quality is said to be as good as was
ever grown in the county. There
were several fields of winter wheat
and of rye, all of which returned an
abundant crop of the best quality.
The potatoe crop promises to be
abundant and of fine quality, with
large yields of all other garden vege-
tables. The corn crop is of immense
acreage in the county. Fred Bulls,
of Paris, reports 100 acres in his field
which is nearly past the condition of
roasting ears this early in August.
Many others with as many acres re-
port a similar condition. One farmer
reports corn already glazed. With
all this abundance, and with cattle
and hogs in like abundance, those
who produce it are desperately hard
up and short of money needed to
handle their immense crops. Many
have large proportion of last years
crop on hand, corn cribs and oat bins
Overlooking and the new crop just
ready to harvest. 1t must be consoI-
ing to these men to be told "there is
money enough in the country if you
have anything to give in exchange
for it," They have already learned
that steamboats, can't float in rivers
which have run dry. They will soon
learn that agriculture can't prosper
with the money of the country con-
centrated in Wall Street, where,
through falling prices it is more prof
liable to its owner than it would be
in the channels of trade and COM
merce. The financial stream has run
dry, and with the water from the riv-
ers run dry, so with the money; there
is as much of both as there ever was,
but one would be in the gulfs and
oceans, the other in bank vaults, and
both would be useless for for the
purposes which designed.

DIED.

At his residence five miles west of
Brighton at 20 minutes past eleven
o'clock July 2S, 1896, Martin l.. Shook,
in his 10Th year. Mr.. Shook was born
in Warren, Trumbull county, Ohio, on
the 9th day OF August, 1920. His
death came very sudden although not
having been very stout during the
summer. Monday he was feeling much
better than usual in the evening milk
ed two COWS and attended to his usual
chores, retired about half-past nine
o'clock, After lying down he COM
planned of being too warm. then
severe pain in the head and sickness
at the stomach, vomiting some which
was slightly tinged with blood. Rest
Ing more easily he said he would go to
sleep, and in few minutes was snor.
ing. Mrs. Shook went to him and feel
ing alarmed called up the two men
from another room. He made a dis
tressed cough and breathed but a few
times and was gone.
Mr.. Shook was an active business
man throughout life. He crossed the
plains with an OK team in 1910 to Cali
fornia and was also active in the min
ing camps of Colorado about 1S59-6O.
Then returning east made his home in
Missouri, engaging in the agricultural
implement and hardware business for
a number of years and came to Colora-
do in 1881 to make his permanent
home, where he has had the respect
and high regard of all who knew him.
He leaves wife and three daughters
to mourn his loss, one daughter living
in Missouri, one in Texas and one in
Denver. The funeral services were
held at l l a. m. Thursday at the fami-
ly residence. Services conducted by
Rev. A. F. Heltman. The remains
were inferred in Elmwood cemetery
Brighton Col Register.
Martin l.. Shook was we'll known to
the old settlers of this county. He
was among the first to locate in the
county his location being the ground
north of Market street east OF the
Granger road west of the Gillett farm
and extending north to second street.
His residence was located near where
Owens ware house and tub factory
stands. The barn on the south side
nearly opposite the Van Slyke barn
was built by him near whore O'Mal-
ley's store stands. 1t is all that re-
mains of his work among us. He was
an enterprising, energetic man, a law
abiding citizen and splendid neigh
Dor. His wife and the wife of Edmond
Gillett were sisters.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, August 4, 1866
The temperature of the past week
was about normal, but the rainfall
was excessive and amount of sunshine
deficient. For the week ending August
1st, the following are among the
heavier amounts of rainfall reported:
Dubuque, 5.S4 inches; Shelby, 5.13;
Butler, 4.S5; Jasper, 4.76; Poweshiek,
4,6S; Delaware, 4.53; Boone, 4.15;

ton, 2.65; Guthrie, 8; Webster. 2.S5;
Crawford, 2.54; Pottawattamie, 2.35.
The weather conditions have been
very unfavorable for completing the
work of stacking and threshing from
the shocks. And as a result of the
frequent and heavy rains Ut the past
two weeks the unsecured grain has
been materially injured by rotting and
sprouting. Oats suffered the greater
damage, but spring wheat has also
been badly hurt.
Numerous reports state that stacks
of grain have been considerably injured
by excessive downpours and heavy
winds.
Corn is doing notably we'll, except
in some localities where it was broken
down by wind and hail storms on the
night of the Goth. On the whole this
crop is very promising, and the bulk
of it is now in the roasting ear stage.
Pastures and meadows show a, luxur-
liant growth.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-02

Out on the plains horses run in
large herds like horned cattle. Once
year they are rounded up and the
colts are branded and in other re-
spects fitted for their future career.
Then they are set free again and al
lowed to run with their mothers un-
til they are about four years of age,
when they are lassOed and put under
subjugation. Naturally, when they
first feel the impress of a saddle and
halter and the weight of man they
are excited and rebel, and endeavOr
to throw their rider. If they succeed
and their success is repeated they be-
come chronic buckers. Once con-
trolled, however, they are entirely
tractable. Some people have an idea
bucking bronchOs seen in the wild
west show are trained for their work.
They are and they are not. In the
beginning of a seasons exhibitions
they are all chronic buckers, but
after they have been conquered a
number of times they are apt to
abandon their wild antics. When
this happens we have seen men mount
them, and then when they make fee
BILE opposition the riders fall off their
backs, as if they had been thrown.
This again arouses in the horses the
idea that they are masters, and they
return to their bucling prOpensities
with renewed vigor. That is why
they make such fierce exhibitions in
public.

ments, and to feel defrauded and as
tonished when anything unpleasant
interferes with their pleasures. Thus
they grow up quite unable to bear
the inevitable burdens of life or to
cope with it's ills. All power comes
by exercise, and the power of endur-
ance is no exception. To learn to en-
dure bravely, to bear patiently, to
suffer, if need be, heroically, is one OF
the most important parts of youths
education.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-02

Hiram S. Maxim, the inventor of
the Maxim gun, who is now studying
the subject of air ships, writes as fol-
lows to the London Times: II think
I am safe in asserting that until a
very recent date the greater part of
the experimenters ON flying machines
have been little better than charla-
tans and mountebanks. It is only re-
Gently thatmen of science have actu-
ally taken the matter in hand, and
during the last six years a great deal
of valuable information has been OBJ
tanned, not based upon theory, but
upon actual experiments. I feel sure
that it is now possible to make a
successful and practical flying ma
chine which will at least be a valu'a
BILE adjunct to the offensive and de-
fensive powers of highly civilized ma
tons who are capable to make and
operate delicate and complicated ma
chinery."
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-02

When a man thinks that nobody
cares for him, and that he is alone in
acold, selfish world, he would do well
to ask himself this question, ''What
have done to make any one care for
and love me, and to warm the world
with faith and generosity" 1t is
generally the case that those who
complain the most have done the
least.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-02

The consciousness of work well
done increases self-respect, stimu-
lates the energies, elevates the aims,
and exalts the character of the work
er. While he is striving to accom-
plish some good in the world, re-
active good is entering into his own
life and being.
