WAS IN AGONY
FOR THREE DAYS
Camptender Injured by Fall
Over Cliff Meets Slow
Death.

A special to the Portland Journal
from Canyon City, Ore, dated the
10th, says: Walter CRANES, a camp
tender, injured by falling over a cliff
of Monument hill Wednesday, died
Saturday after one of the most agon-
izing experiences that a man was
ever called upon to meet.
Cranes was in the employ of Os-
car Schaffer at Monmouth, and had
been caring for one of the largest
camps In that section of the country
Wednesday he started over the trail
with heavily-loaded pack horse,
and it was while traversing the rim
rock over Monument hill that the ac-
cident took place.
The horse, crowded out from the
wall by the pack, became panic
stricken and Cranes attempted to
pacify it. In SO doing he stepped to
the horses Size, when the animal
made sudden plunge and both went
over the cliff.
The fall instantly killed the horse
and desperately injured CRANES.
The latter, on regaining conscious
ness, found himself with broken
limbs, pinioned beneath the dead
animal.
From the time of the accident on
Wednesday until late in the after
noon of Friday CRANES was undis-
covered, as the trail over which he
passed Is isolated and seldom used.
He suffered death many times over,
praying in his conscious moments
for the end, and yet so helplessly In
jured that he could not end his own
sutferings. He finally passed into
delerious rawlings and insensibility.
Search for him was almost without
result, as by the time his rescuers
appeared on the scene he was un-
conscious.
He was with difficulty carried to
Monument, where he died on the
following day from his injuries and
the attendant hardship.

WORKING FOR WIDE TIRES.
Bureau DC Road Inquiry says Dirt
Roads Are Improved Wonder
fully by Their Use.

The United States bureau of road in
quiry has been making a study of the
width of tires prescribed by local and
national authorities W various parts Of
the world. In France every freighting
and market cart, instead of injuring
the highway, improves it. Many of the
tires are ten inches wide. In the four
wheeled vehicles in that country the
rear axle is IA inches longer than the
fore, and as result the rear wheels run
on line about an inch outside the level

loaded wagons have passed over road

made with loaded wagons drawn

weighing 1000 pounds it was found
that load Of 3.24S pounds could be
drawn on vide tires with the same force
required to move 1000 pounds on mar

did not injure the turf, while the mar
row ones cut through It. In some parts
OF the country pioneers in the use Of
wide tires have had to stand a good

ENCOURAGE RIFLE PRACTICE
Plans of Government officials to Rem
edy Great Defect in the Mil
itary System.

Throughout Elihu Roots long service
which received his most serious atten-
ton, aside from the operations Of the
army in the field, the army reorganiza-
ton act, the general staff scheme and the
national militia project, was the ques-
ton Of developing in the mass of Amer
lean citizens body of trained rifemen
large enough to make our dsfenses Sc
cure in time of war. In season and out
OF season he insisted that the country
needed men who could shoot straight,
who knew the use Of the rifle thoroughly
and with whom proficiency in small
arms practice should be the first test of
fitness as soldiers. Mr.. Boots earnest
ness in this matter served as reminder
that whereas We have made but little
real progress in rifle shooting since the
close of the Spanish war, other coun-
tries are giving close attention to the
subject, Canada alone having but re-

Owing partly to Mr.. Roots persistent
urging. supported by many other inter-
ested gentlemen in the army, the navy,
the marine corps, the national guard
and civil life. public interest in the sub
ject took form in the organization Of the
national board for the promotion Of
rife practice in the United States, and
as a result Of that movement plans have
been formulated which if carried into
effect seem likely to transform millions
of hardy young Americans into expert
riflemen and thus correct what is palpa-
bly, the gravest defect in our military
system.
In preparing these plans careful con-
sheraton was given to the methods
employed by other countries to eneour-
age rifle shooting among their citizens
and the paramount purpose was to de-
wise a system which should make every
American between the ages of Is and Is
years ambitious to become a master
marksman. In its general scope the
scheme provides for a highly organized

The value of the bee in the work of

OF bees many crops would be complete
failures. Darwin found that in 100
heads Of purple clover protected from the

produced nearly 1000 seeds. When two
