GREAT WEALTH Of STATE.
Some Statistics Of Crops and Pro-
ducts Of the State Prepared by
Commissioned Turner.
Grain Acreage Of This State and the
Wealth in Other Lines Of its
Varied Industries.
Remarkable Forward Steps Taken b,
the State in the Past Ten or
Twelve Years.

Commissioner Turner of the state
agricultural department., has just SOM
pleted the totalling Of the returns from
the county assessors, who under the
present law gather the statistics for
this department. While the figures
gathered are not as accurate is they
should be owing to the refusal of a
large portion OF the FARMERS to give
the desired information under the be-
lief that it is to he used to influence
the price of farm products, the returns
are as near correct as can be secured
under the present law. In most cases
the figures n smaller than they
should be for the above reason; this Is
particularly so in the matter of stock
returns, which are ridiculously low,
probably so per cent.
The returns show a most remarkable
increase in such grains as corn, flax,
barley and rye and the garden produce
is nearly doubled in 1901 over 1900.
Following are the figures for the past
two years: /.

SUNDAYS
BLAZE
OLD CAvANAUcH BAKERY
BADLY DAMAGED
Occupants Have to EscaE
From Upper Window

Sunday Carson was visited with s.rl
other fire, which caused the destruc-
ton of $500 worth of property. When
the alarm was turned in the iire boys
found the south end of the old Cava-
naugh bakery building in a mass of
flames. BY the prompt action of the
fire department, and the fact that q
sufhcien supply of water was on hand,
the place was partially saved. While
the place is badly damaged by FIRE. the
loss of the furniture and belongings
of the occupants was nearly ruined by
water.
When the fire was discovered, Mr.
and Mrs. Durham, who occupy the
building, were in the upper story
where the exit to the street was crt
off by the smoke and flames. A lad
der was secured and the lady wa:
first taken from the building in fam
ing condition. Mr.. Durham was thel
rescued in the same manner. Mrs
| Durham was taken to the home of |
neighbor, where good care and restor
atives soon revived her.
The property was lately purchase
from Miss Cavanaugh, by P. F. Curry
and will result in quite a loss. as n
insurance is carried It is suppose
the fire originated in the kitchen fror
a defective flue.
! But for the prompt action OF the fir
department, there is no doubt but tha
a serious fire would have resulted, a
the flames had a good Roadway whe

demonstrated the efficiency of the va

CHANCE FOR

FARMERS IN THIS CITY FOR

Miller 4 Lux Lawyers Meet
Them Today

There seems to be a likelihood of q
compromise in the water suit between
the farmers of Smith and Mason val
leys and Miller & Lux.
The attorneys for the company ar
rived in thsf city yesterday, and most
of the interested parties ON the other
side are here or have Z representative
on the ground. Among the arrivals
yesterday were J. r. Aimes, J. F. VIII
son, Pat Gallagher, ]. w. Simpson,
and Senator Gallagher, all from Ma
son valley.
The suit, should it come to one, will
involve a great deal of property val.
ne, as all of the farmers along the
two branches of the Walker are inter.
ested and defendants to the suit. They
announced early in the fight that they
we're anxious for q compromise and
now it seems that they may have
some voice in the matter. Should
they effect a compromise, it will be :
great thing for them, should they b.
able to effect this work.
The farmers have made half a dozel
trips to this city, where they have sc
cured the best of legal talent. On
of the lawyers in the case on the farm
ers' side, has been endeavoring to ei
feet compromise, and should tn
good work come out in that line con
