WHEAT TO BREAK RECORDS
More of 1t in the Northwest Than Ever

Chicago, June 2S.-After making a
careful canvass of the northwest terri
tory and preparing conservative esti-

throughout the grain belt, traffic Off
Gals Of the st. Paul, the Northwestern,
the Northern Pacific, the Great North

agreed that the wheat crop of this re-

bushels of wheat, as against 100000

Irrigation in Valleys of the Rockies.
Mr.. Wright has unusual opportuni-
ties to see the western country. He
says: Il have spent the greater part
of this last year In New Mexico, Col
Orado, and Utah. This is all in the
Rocky mountain country, and the av-
erage altitude of the three is about a
mile above the sea level. The state of
Colorado has taken particular pains to
so place it's state capital atDenver that
the floor OF the basement shall be eX-
actly one mile above sea level There
are about eighty peaks over 1900
feet high and hundreds over $4,000.
Between these mountain ranges lie
valleys which are fertile when irri-
eating water can be put upon them.
Otherwise they are deserts. The larg-
est example of irrigation is also the
first in the United States by a white
man in the great Mormon settlement
In the valley of the Salt Lake. Two
other examples of irrigation on a
large scale are in the eastern slope of
the Rockies north of Denver in the
country around Greeley, and the Ar
kansas valley below Pueblo.

Filling Two Vacancies
There is considerable fioundering
about in the effort to succeed Bliss of
the GAINESVILLE and Switer of the Della
van schools, but it seems to be neces-
sary. 1t would be better if the
boards declined tenders of position
could be kept from the public; but
while the board does it's best
the news leaks out through those to
whom the positions are offered. And
it is unavoidable. The happy man
naturally consults his friends and
good news travels almost as fast as
gossip. 1t is an incident of the de-
lay i'll filling the posts that the ambl-
tons of number are kindled-per
sons of manifest unfitness And I'M
less the board scores progress in the
changes there will be sharp censure.
We don't hear any more of moving
the state prison from Waupun and
probably never will. The agitation
grew out of a casual remark Of
Warden McClaughrey that he wished
the prison were at a point where rail
road facilities were better than at
Waupun. And any one who has con-
tracted a headache from changing
cars for Waupun" will agree.

DR.. Frost, the skillful bacteriolo-

to Baltimore and other eastern cities
He found the experts of the health de-
partments hard at work over eXamina-
tons for pestilential diseases. He tells
me that politics has not invaded this
department of city life. The heat
was terrific and the sewage conditions
in those southern cities particularly
bad, yet the condition of public health
is satisfactory. SO they said, yet
analyses of some twenty diphtheretic
sWabs were being made in Baltimore
DIT. Frost tells me that antitoxins
are almost always successful where
promptly used 1t is delay, perhaps
to see if disease will develop, that
makes the trouble. In speaking of
Fourth Of July accidents, he said that
lOckjaW is almost always fatal and
yet if the antitoXin is quickly admin
istered, especially if the wound has
been Skillfully treated by a surgeon,
the danger is minimized. This is
worth remembering when your young
boy or girl reports a catastrophe next
Thursday. LOckjaw follows this sort
of injury and gunshot wounds, be-
cause the foreign substance and im-
purities are forced beneath the skin,
indeed, healing may take place over
the wound.
The subject of antitoxins is full of
curious interest. The stuff is devel-
oped in horses by means of injection
into the blood of the animal of the vi
rus Of disease of the man. Gradual

as a single drop kills an untreated
horse, he is gradually able to take half

MR.. MOORE TALKS.

Some days ago the following news
paper interview was had with Presi-
dent Moore about roads:
II am the president of the Nation
al Good Roads association and we
are working for good roads. Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose Of introducing good roads
into the states. l have in my train
IA skilled engineers, among them
Mr.. Charles 7. Harrison, a govern
ment road engineer, all of them at
the expense of the association. We
have all the machines for road max
ing. This machinery alone cost
about $4,000.
"My object in coming is to intro
duce to Kentucky the proper way Of
making a good dirt road. You see,
your state has about $4,000 miles of
roads and most of them are in a mis-
cradle condition. 1t is astonishing
how few macadam roads you have.
Now, a good dirt road can be built
for from $500 to $500 mile, and by
proper care can be kept in good con-
dition for an indefinite time. One
Of the best ways to treat dirt road
is to sprinkle it with hot oil soon af-
ter it is built
"The oil gradually seeps to the
bottom of the road and makes it
compact and waterproof and gives it
a firm base. The macadam road can
be made for from $4,000 to $1,000 a
mile and is, of course, out of the f.
nancial reach of many rural districts.
The gravel road we build is not so
costly and 1 am not in favor of it
unless it can be made with a fine
foundation.
"The chief object of the asso-
citation OF which,I am president is to
arouse the interest of the people in
this movement so that the legislature
may take action in the matter. 1
travelled over about 900 miles of your
state and 1 did not see a single good
maeadam road. In other states OF
which am speaking the legislature
appoints what might be called
highway inspector. 1t is bis duty to
look after the condition of the roads
and he is solely responsible to the
state for their condition. This has
been done in Massachusetts, and the
result is that the state has the best
roads in the union. 1t is also done
in New Jersey, which can boast of
roads almost as good as those of
Massachusetts.
"We shall hold three conventions
in Kentucky. One at Louisville,
another at Greensboro, and another
at Hopkinsville."
Mr.. Moore says that the road he
will build is to be in no sense a
"model" road, but a modern road,
constructed according to modern
ideas. Mr.. Moore said it would
take ten years to construct dirt roads
in Kentucky along modern lines, but
he thinks that when the work is once
started it will be carried to compile
ton.
