Fred Slime, Big RanCher.
Says Yield Is Short
HIS CROP WILL AVERAGE 50 Blu.
Pomeroy Farmers Are Praying for
Rains to Save Starving Crops
in That Belt.
HIS CROP WILL AVERAGE 50 Blu.

That some of the best wheat land in
the county heretofore yielding from 81
to 50 bushels to the acre will suffer
in common with the lighter lands is
the belief of Frederick Slime one of
the most conservative and successful
farmers in the county. Mr.. Slime stat
ed this morning that $50 acres of
wheat on his place six miles south of
the city would not average over 80
to 40 bushels as compared to yields
Of from 80 to 90 bushels in former
years.
The shrinkage he believes is due
more to . lack of moisture than to
any other cause His fields are com
paratively free from weeds, OF which
farmers further toward the noun
tains complain this year, and the
ground has been cultivated in the
usual Intelligent manner. The alb
sence of weeds in Mr.. Shines fields
have been matters of comment for
years among farmers Of the fOothill
district and is a condition that is en-
tirely due to the care taken in the Cul-
tivatiOn Of the ground.
AT the present time | estimate my
crop will average about 35 bushels to
the acre Mr.. Slime said this morning
If We get some good showers it will
go at least 40 bushels, which | will
consider good considering the weather
conditions Of the year. A lack Of
precipitation is largely responsible
That this is the main cause is dem
Onstrated by the fact that the straw
is more than a foot shorter this year
than last at the same time. Wheat
on my place last year averaged
height of nearly six feet and in many
places would go we'll over even this"
Mr.. Slime was peculiarly unfortu-
nate in losing 300 bushels of wheat
last yer by tremendous wind storm
which swept q stretch of country
south of the city and damaged ripened
crops many thousands Of dollars.
Praying for Rain.
Farmers of the POmerOy district
are praying for rain, which is badly
needed to insure even a half Of a crop
in Garfield county, said Charles
Freeze. who returned from a business
trip in that section of the state, last
evening. The hot weather of this
week. north winds and lack Of rain
are playing havoc with crop prospects,
and farmers are badly worried over
he outcome. 1t is getting serious and
unless rain comes soon it will be a
hard year on farmers of Garfield

augural ceremonies took place at
noon. Immediately after these exer.
cises Lieutenant Governor Brown was
inducted into Office. Governor Pen
nypacker, Lieutenant Governor
Brown, the retiring State officials,
judges Of court, the legislative in
augural committee, the heads Of de-
partments and other invited guests
were escorted from the executive
r.ansion by Congressman Olmstead,

rade. the governors troop, of Harris
burg. and State troops under COM
mand OF Brigadier General John. A.

or by Supreme Court Judge ID. Newton
Fell, OF Philadelphia. A salute of II
guns was fired. After the last gun

inaugural address and after the real
Ing of the address the exercises were
w n CiOot WIFI DEdytI. HC
points made in the inaugural address
were: There is too much legislation.
The modern tendency to create new
crimes ought to be curbed. Reform
OF the ballot law should not obliterate
party tickets. Great care should be
exercised in granting the right of
eminent domain. Legislation should
provide for greater return to labor
from the rewards resulting from
business ventures. No capitalist is
strong enough and no laborer is in.
slgnihcant enough to escape obedience
TO the law. A tax should be imposed
on state products to be used in pro
Vidlng good roads. Historic buildings
should be guarded and preserved by
the state. Legislation against yellow
Journalism shoul be enacted. Citizens
should dwell together in harmony
and cities join in projects for i'm.
provements. He will consult all citi-
zens, including politicians, and de.
sires more respect shown officials.

ASK FOR WAGE INCREASE.
Official Statement Has Been Issued
by President Dolan.

President Pat Dolau at the National
Convention of the United Mine Work
ers at Indianapolis, Ind, made public
a statement in which he declares that
the Wage Scale Committee has no
alternative but TO report to the con-
yention in favor Of an advance In the
wages paid in the bituminous fields
President nolan declares, the Scale
Committee has almose defnate in
structions regarding the report it
must return. The recommendations
received from various locals and dis
tricrs place Limitation upon the com.
mittee's deliberations that make it
incumbent upon It's members to re.
rort in favor of an increase of not
less than Is per cent nor more than
% per cent. West Virginia desires a
% per cent advance. Some isolated
locals in the West demand an adj
vance of at least Is per cent. Pc
tween the two extremes, the scale
committee must select an amount for
final endorsement by the convention.
Undoubtedly this amount will not be
less than 20 per cent.

Has All Confidence in the Mine Strike
Commission.

In the convention of the United
Mine Workers at Indianapolis, Ind,
President John Mitchell read his an.
nual report. He said that vital
principals were at stake in the strike
OF the anthracite miners, which IL de-
feated, would have given to the Amer
ican labor movement a check from
which it would have required years
to recover. Concerning the commits
sion appointed by President Roose-
welt, Mr.. Mitchell said: TT would
be improper at this time for me to
comment upon the investigation now
being conducted by the anthracite
coal strike commission more than to
say that its members are eminent
men, in whose impartiality and Judge.
ment and / have full confidence.
Firm In my opinion of our ability to
demonstrate the Justice of our cause

retary-Treasurer w. b. Wilson made

lief fund for the anthracite strikers
amounted to s2,645.324, including ST..

GRAYs POINTED REMARKS.
Action of Strike Official Commented
Upon by Chairman.

The features of the coal strike

man Gray's rather strong remarks in
commenting on the incident where
District President Fahey, of the
Miners union. would not grant per-
mission during the strike to a con
tractor to erect q boiler house at
colliery which was necessary to pre-
serve the mine from damage. Tho
president Of the commission said he
hated tyranny, no matter whether it
was practiced by an operator, miner
or anyone else. During the morning
session the Lehigh VALLEY Coal Com
pany placed Jchn Murray, a union
miner, on the stand. On cross-exam-
ination he said there would be trouble
in the anthracite regions so long as
the coal companies insist upon pay
ing the contract miners by the car
Instead of by weight.

than to foreign countries. Washing.
ton was selected as the place of the
assembling of the next congress.
