A Revered Landmark

The passing away of Mrs. Katherine Burns removes another revered land mark from Montgomery. The funeral which took place Friday morning from the residence of her only son and child. John Sheen, was largely attended. Ser vices were held in St. Peters Catholic Church, the church she loved so well and always attended as long as she could go. Hers was a loveable dispo- sition. true to every one she called her friend, always ready to serve those in whom her interest centered. Seventy six years she had battled with this life. but when the final call came she was ready and went gladly with a mind clear and bright and with no thought of this world between her and her God. She left one son, MT. John Sheen. one daughter by marriage, Mrs. J. Sheen. and five grandchildren, The love and esteem fin which she was held was shown in the lovely floral designs sent. one especially beautiful being sent bv MT. Sheen's fellow-workmen of tba Western Railroad of Alabama. The following gentlemen served as nall bearers: Albert Jones, c. Parker. q D. Mayo, J. c. Cunningham, c. ". Beale, w. w. Cranberry.

Good Prospect. for Wheat.

With 6S0,000,000 bushels of wheat
in prospect, according to careful, un-
biased estimates received from all the
principal grain states, nature has given
bond that prosperity will remain
with the American farmer for another
year.
So optimistic are the reports from
most of the states that a. conservative
calculator might be warranted in add.
ing ten millions to fifteen millions
bushels to this estimate. Even then
he will be about L25,O00,000 bushels
short of the total suggested by the gov
ernment report on the May list condi-
ton.
Estimates from fourteen of the lead
ing winter wheat states, which furnish
nearly eighty-five per cent. of the total
grain sown in the autumn, are that
these states will raise an aggregate
of 34S,000,O00 bushels this year as
compared with 297,696,656, the official
government total accorded to these
states year ago, and 355 ,1S3,G ,G56 in
1903.
These reports all come from state
capitals where the boards of agricul-
tufe are located, and most of them are
semi-official. While no definite reports
are at hand for the other agricultural
states raising wheat, the government
showing for May 1st indicated a total
of G4,029.000 bushels for these states.
1t is expected that in its June LIST
report, which will be issued next Sat.
urday, the government ,Sill make even
a better exhibit for the states of lesser
rank In wheat production, but granting
that the net result will remain about
the same, the showing for the winter
wheat in all the states will aggregate
something like All 100000 bushels, dis.

drive the 406at road from Gore canon
have been made in affidavits which
VIII be dled In the federal court to-day

opeclnc accusafi0ps are made by Da-
vid h. 4o6at himself against A. L. Eel
lows. formerly district engineer of the
government reclamation service, and
AGAINST Others in the government en-
pioy. In all there are eighteen an
davits. covering more than 1000 type
written pages.
After recounting the history OF the
Aodat road. Mr.. AoRat says: The act
q withdrawal Of the Gore canon land
was not for the benefit of the govern
ment, but for the benefit of the New
Century company. When the railroad.
alter " had been notified Of the with
drawal. asked for Q hearing, A. L. Eel
lows objected to the railroads side be-
ing heard at ALL"
Further connection of Mr.. Fellows
and the other government oficials In
the alleged conspiracy against the Moi
tat road is asserted by Mr.. Mofat
when he says: "The government was
induced to take action toward with
drawal of this land by the New Cen
tury company after 1t had been de-
feated In q contest with the railroad
and acting upon and through certain
persons connected with the reclama-
ton service"
Mr.. Moifat further asserts that the
government officials who have recon-
mended the Kremmling reservoir site
and the segregation for it Of Gore
canon. never surveyed or measured
the proposed route, but acted in their
recommendations solely upon the re-
ports Of the engineers of the New Cen
tury company, whose accounts were in
correct. inaccurate and garbled.
Thus far, according to Mr.. Moffat,
$500, 900 has been spent in construc-
tion of the Moffat road and the taking
away of the canon. for the Kremmling
reservoir, needless and useless
scheme" would entail the expense Of
$4,000, 900 by the railroad.
