"The International Harvesters' Com.

The company will require no financing,
and there will be no offer of is stock
to the public, all the cash required hav,
ing been provided by its stockholders"
After alluding to the advance in prices
of raw material and the possible con-
sequent advance in the price of harvest
ing machinery unless economies in ex.
isting conditions of manufacture could
be accomplished, the statement con-
tinues
"The manufacturers realize that their
welfare and the interests of the farmers
are identical An advance in the price
of agricultural machinery would injure
the farmers and react upon the manu-
facturers. But, on the other hand, ii
existing conditions continued an advance
in prices would be inevitable. 1t thus
became necessary that either the prices
should be advanced or that substantial
economies should be effected in the man
ufacture and distribution of agricultural
machinery The management OF the
company will be in charge of gentlemen
who have for years been identified with
the business. The company will start
with ample manufacturing facilities. 1t

Wilkesbarre, Pa. (Special) THE
fourteenth week of the anthracite strike
has begun, and the expenses and losses
to date are, as nearly as can be esti-
mated, as follows:
Loss to operators in coal (normaD,

loss to business men outside region,

more collieries during the present week

mouth, has resumed to the extent OF
putting through the breaker coal that
was mined before the strike, and 1t IS
believed that there will be an attempt
to do some work at the Woodward

These rumors have reached the strik-
ers, and there will in all likelihood be
heavy picket lines thrown out at all
points of threatened work resumption.
This, of course, means more or less dan

greater than at Shenandoah, where the

London (By Cable).-The Premier
A. J. Balfour, announced the appoint
ment of the following commission OF
inquiry into the conduct of the Boer
War:
The Earl Of Elgin, chairman; Sir
Henry Norman, Sir Iohn Hopkins
Lord Esher and Sir John Edge.

that the British Government would

Of the war in South Africa. The many
charges OF cruelty and of violations Of
the rules of war will be investigated

mand. The investigation will be of the
most sweeping character, and lightning

Total cereal crop, .. 400 23I374
All along the line from the States in
the great grain growing belt come
cheering messages. Wisconsin an
nounces that she has the biggest oats
crop she ever raised and that her corn
is in excellent condition. Indiana calls
her corn crop phenomenal and sub
mits the fgures-I7oo ooo, ,ooo--to prove
it. Nebraska declares she has 10000
600 bushels more corn in her fields than
she ever had before Illinois hopes to
add nearly 100 100000 to her last crop
of that cereal Ohio makes her wheat
crop practically the same as last year
and raises her corn limit 100000
bushels.
Kansas will not raise more than halt
as much wheat as she did in 1901, but
she compensates for this loss with a
corn crop five times as large-unoitl-
cially estimated at 400, 900, 900 bushels
virtually the government figures OF
month ago. Oklahoma promises some
thing like 10000, 900 bushels OF wheat
and 100000 OF corn.
Up in Minnesota and the Dakotas the
harvest of wheat has begun with a con-
dition above 90 points. Nearly every
where the corn in the fields bespeaks
magnificent crop, and the oats output
it is said, will exceed that of 1890
Until the threshers began to tell their
joyous tales it was believed the wheat
crop would not come up to the record
breaking total OF year ago, but some
statsticians now believe that the crop
OF 1902 will exceed that OF is predeces-
sor by at least IS 100000 bushels. This
is the latest estimate OF B. w. Snow
one OF the best-known crop experts in
the country. His total is 77S,ooo,ooo
bushels. The same authority says the
corn harvest will be 2,5oo, 900, 900 bush
els, or nearly double that OF year ago,
He puts the oats crop at S85ooo,ooo

The most bountful harvest in the his

Public school Notes.


The enrolment in the grades and
high school for the present year is now
300, 800 had enrolled on the correspond
ing week Of last year.
The teachers will study the worlds
great artists during the first months of
the present term. Millet and Landseer
are to be the subjects Of the first lesson.
An outline for this lesson was prepared
by Miss Mayne and duties assigned to
the teachers.
The teachers are exhibiting much
tact as we'll as taste in the decoration Of
school rooms. Curtains of brilliant and
varied colors festoon the windows at the
new building. Pictures adorn the walls
of all the rooms. Some OF these are we'll
chosen reproductions of the most famous
paintings.
The entire Board of Education was
present at the teachers meeting on
Monday evening. Remarks pertaining
to the work were made by each of the
members.
Literary exercises have been held In
some of the rooms. Regular programs
may be expected hereafter in all grades.

1t is only short time until election
day. Be sure you get registered and be
sure to vote against the Bucklin Amend
ment. In fact it would be just as well
to vote against all OF the amendments.
There ls danger in the proposed Bucklin
Amendment. 1t is not enough that you
do not favor it, be sure and vote and
don't forget it. The friends of the prop
osition are using every effort TO have it
carry.
The executive committee of The
Prowers County Anti-Bucklin Amend
ment League, held meeting last Mon
meetings held at the various school
houses in the country districts adjacent
to Lamar, and in other parts of the
county. At these meetings the amend
ment will be discussed. The movement
against the measnse is entirely non-part-
izan, both republicans and democrats
being united in opposition to the amend
ment. These meetings will not be po-
litical in any respect, so far as relates
to the candidacy Of any nominee on
either ticket. Our readers in the varl-
Gus districts should watch for the an
nouncement Of the meeting to be held
in their neigh borhood, and see that there
is big turn out. 1t will be to their in
terest to attend.
There have been four political meet >
ings held in Lamar since our last issue
and the only thing they have demon
strated is that there is no political en-
thusiasm IN this section this year. The
republicans have held two meetings, both
without any advertising except the one
day before the meetings, and the audi
ences have been small, though well
pleased with the speakers. The greatest
surprise and frost came though when
Senator Teller, the most talked about
and advertised politician in the state,
came here last Thursday and was un-
able to fill the opera house half full. His
speech was even n greater frost and
before he had finished many of his audit
ors had left. Had it not been for the
republicans the Senator could not have
obtained hearing in the town, and the
democrats made it very apparent that
they cared nothing for the old man, but
we're just using him to try to catch re-
publican votes. Congressman Bell and
Ex-Governor Alva Adams last night met
with even a smaller audience than any
OF the others.
