figures OF the broomcorn crop OF 1903

shown By the growers of central llli-

Oklahoma situation.
Numbers OF central Illinois broom
corn growers have travelled the length
and breadth OF oklahoma TO look at the
situation there and see what the
broomcorn crop of that territory actu-
ally amounts TO. Returning pilgrims
report that the acreage IN oklahoma,
which is a new broomcorn- producing
section, is about the same as IN 1907,
but that for various reasons, the
weather being not as favorable as IL
should have been during the growing
season, the yield in tonnage Will b.
about two-thirds of last year. The es-
innate OF car loads OF broomcorn in
Oklahoma territory this year is zoo, "a
against 200 in 1902. Men now on thu
ground state that the scene battles de-
scription there. There are at least two
hundred buyers racing over the terri
tory buying up every pound of brush
they can lay their hands on.
Illinois Harvest On.
The harvest of broomcorn in tbs
great central Illinois district is on al
the present time. and IL is very differ

lutely 70 influx of workmen from ott :
err points. The word has got out ths
the crop is very short and that HON
help can harvest 1t.
Expects High Price.
The central Illinois farmer with
broomcorr is expecting thu price to be
a record-breaker this year Some hict
at $3.50 per tor. and broomcorn specu-
lators. who have grip on things. With
a supply Of corn produced in previous
years. are expecting even higher prices
than this.

LARGE CONTRACT.
Mr.. Caughren has a year of
heavy work on
his hands,


James A. Caughren has secured a
large grading contract on the Great
Northern Columbia river cut off
from Kalispel distance of ninety one
miles. The work is divided into ten
mile sections, and Mr.. Caughren has
secured one section of it. He will re-
move $50, 600 yards of rock and 100, 900
yards of dirt and construct tunnel
1000 feet in length. The work is all
very heavy and will require $50 men or
more not less than a year, and posi-
bly, some time longer. He has sub-let
part of it and the balance he will
give his personal attendance. 1t COM
mences at once, and he has already
sent portion of his working force for
ward to Kalispel, which will be his
headquarters.
The work is of a character which re-
quires proportionately more men than
brains, and he will have number of
the latter unemployed in this work
and confidently expects one or more
other contracts to keep his entire
equipment busy. AS is his custom he
will spend most of the time upon the
work, giving it his personal time and
attention. He is hustler in his line
of business, understands it from start
to finish. and his scores of friends in
this city and elsewhere earnestly hope
he finds clean clear sailing.

THE PERlPATETiC BEAR.
summer Outing of a Mother Grizzly
and Her Yoang Ones.

Summer Outing of a Mother Grizzly
and Her Yodng Ones.
There is a deal of discussion among
hunters after big game in the noun
tains concerning the sort of fathers and
husbands grizzly bears make, says
writer in Outing. he consensus or
opinion seems to bo ';,ct bruin is an I'M
faithful, heartiess spouse and a con-
temptible father. He will help Nine.
Bruin seek a cave or an opening in the
rocks or mountain side, where their
cubs may be born, and he will carry
a dainty morsel, such as a sheep, a
calf or part of a cows carcass there
for his mates food. However, few
days after the cubs are born in the
family circle he will leave the home,
probably never having any further &C
uuaintance with his spouse and her
offspring. Thereafter Nine. Bruin must
make her own way and provide for her
cubs. Unlike the black bear, which is
a jolly, fun loving. father that rolls and
frolics with his baby children, the male
grizzly will have nothing to do With
the cubs. Nine. Grizzly and her chill
dren are companions for two summers,
and they hibernate rolled together in
a ball Of fur for about 100 days, dur
ing the coolest days Of winter.
The mother bear and her young trav-
ell far and wide, moving principally at
night. Kit Carson said that the wide
range of a family Of healthy grizzlies
in a summer season is almost incalcu
liable. He had reason to know of a
mother grizzly and her two cubs thai
once left their alternating cave among
the southern spurs Of the Rocky noun

for Slayer of Officer. -:
Waterbury, Conn, March 1O.-The
search for the murderer of Policeman
Paul Mendelsohn, who was slain by
one of the shots fired by the party OF
masked men in their attack upon, a
trolley car, was renewed during the
day after posse of police had spent
most of the night securing the region
about Forest park unsuccessfully. AS
far as is known the detectives have
not secured any clue to the perpe-
traitors of the crime. 1t is believed
that Conductor Weberndorfer and Mo-
torman Chambers, both of whom were
wounded in the attack upon the car,
will be able TO resume work shortly.
Excitement runs high over the kill
ing of the policeman, which is regard
ed as the climax Of the disturbances
which have accompanied the strike OF
the street railway conductors and mo-
tormen. Early in the day leaders Of
the strike gave out interviews in

A Very Old Hat.

Among the treasures in the safe Gus
tody of Corpus Christi college, Oxford,
is an old, old hat which was found in
an Egyptian tomb and must date back
at least 5000 years.
It's simplicity of make has been its
safeguard, for it has no nap or perish
able trimmings, such as moths might
corrupt. 1t is closely akin to what is
now known as panama straw hat and
is of such excellent quality that it can
be folded or crushed without any harm
to it's appearance. 1t is also quite as
we'll adapted for practical use now as
it was in the days Of the pharaohs.
