FOREIGN CROPS DOING WELL.
Favorable Reports Received From
Many Countries.

Favorable Reports Received From
Many Countries.
The following crop report of the
department of agriculture gives the
following resume of conditions in vari
GUS parts of the world:
Russia-Several experts agree that
the season is two or three weeks later
than usual. The tenor of the many
unofficial reports regarding the general
crop situation in Russia has been de
cidedly unfavorable, but more hopeful
views are held in some quarters.
Germany-The three principal ce
reals are all rated materially higher
than year ago, the difference being
especially marked in the case of wheat
and rye. The sowing of the spring
crops is backward in many localities
owing to wet, cold weather.
Austria-The fall sown crops in
most provinces wintered well. and,
with rare exceptions, their condition
affords the best grounds for hopes.
Austria-Hungary-The official report
is generally favorable.
Roumania and Bulgaria-Crop re-
ports are generally favorable.
Turkey-The latest available report
indicates that the grain crops in east
ern Turkey were not injured by the
cold weather.
Italy-Crop reports are favorable
and crops are growing rapidly.
Spain-Crops generally satisfactory.
France-Cereal crops are said to be
progressing as well as could be de-
sired.
Belgium Fall sown crops are gem
orally satisfactory
The Netherlands-The reports on
spring sowing are favorable. Aver
age better than in previous years.
Great Britain-Winter wheat has

TRUCKEE RNlIR@ABII BR1IE :
ABOUT FIVE MILES WEST OF
RENO, NEVADA. A
Four Young People Lost Their Lives
While Half Way Across Rapids One
Strand Parted and They All Fell
Into the water-Men Gave Up Their
Lives to Save the Girls.

Reno, New, May 16.-By the break
ing of one of the spans of the suspen-
sion tramway across the Truckee river
at Laughton Springs, miles west OF
this city. at 2 o'clock today, four young
people, Maurice Jacobs, a young bust
ness man of this city; Miss Nita Nc
MILAN, daughter of a prominent
Reno business man; Mrs. e. S. EIDE.
Jr., and Mr.. Kingsley of Chicago. were
precipitated from the car into the swol-
len stream and drowned.
The accident was witnessed by Fred
Coleman of San Francisco, who was
unable to render any assistance. The
tramway consists of two steel cables
stretched across the river, upon which
a car runs. which is much used by
pleasure seekers. Sunday the four
young people entered the car to cross
the river. When they reached mid
stream one of the strands parted. One
piercing shrek was heard and the four
were observed in the rapids. The men
were both athletes, and gave up their
lives in heroic effort to save their
companions. Mr.. Jacobs was seen for
a few moments swimming with Miss
Mcmillan, holding her above water.
and was then seen to turn on his back.
the better to save her, when she seized
him and bore the strong swimmer be-
meath the current There was no time
that the two young men could not APP
parently have saved themselves.
though at the place where the accident
occurred there are swift rapids, the wa
ter seething and boiling over great
rocks.
Hundreds of people are searching
for the bodies of the victims of the
accident, but up to a late hour only one
has been discovered. Under the di-
rection of Chief of Police Leepper
electric lights have been strung across
the river at intervals for several miles
and nets have been placed. The search
ing party is exploding dynamite over
the stream, but thus far efforts have
been unavailing. Owing to the promi-
hence of the victims of the tragedy
the entire city is in mourning, and the
river banks are lined with throngs of
people.
Mr.. T1lsman was prominent bust
ness man of Chicago, who was camp
ing at Laughton's Springs for the
benefit of his health.
