Frank Ruchet Says Wheat in Many
Sections Beginning to Show.
Frank Buchet, assistant manager of
the Washington Weeder Works, has
returned from a weeks trip through
the Big Bend country which he toured
in the interest of the Washington
Weeder. Il found conditions quite
prosperous in the Big Bend country,
although the wheat crop is much later
than in the Walla Walla valley Mr.
Buchet said this morning. Il should
judge that the crop is fully a month
later than in this country, although the
farmers say there is every indication
of big crop this year. In several Sec
tions the wheat is just beginning to
show above the ground
Mr.. Buchet stated that the Washing
ton Weeder is meeting with great sue
cess in the Big Bend country. He was
able to take a large number Of orders
for the machine and interest many

BOY HERO ACCEPTS SCHOOLING
Lad Who Saved Train Will Go to the
Stanford University

DENVER, May 25.-LeRoy Irwin
Dixon, the boy who saved train on
the Silverton branch of the Rio Grande
road in October 1904, and VINO later
declined to allow George Gould to ed
ucate him, has yielded to the persua-
sions of Miss Helen Gould. He wants
to go to Stanford university, where
the oranges grow
The boy is the son of poor rancher
in La Plata county. Leroy was going
to school, five miles from his home,
when he saw that a rockslide covered
the track in Animas canon, where the
roadbed is cut out of the face of the
cliff hign above the river.
Far down the canon he heard the
whistle of an approaching train. With
his heart in his mouth the little fellow
scrambled down the mountainside to
the tracks, and ran stumbling down
the track waving his handkerchief.
Engineer McCabe saw the lad in time
to stop mis- train 200 feet from the slide.
The grateful passengers wanted to re-
ward him, but the only thing he would
accept was the engineers jackknife.

ABANDON MEACHAM TUNNEL
Both Ends of Huge "Bore" Have Caved
in Stopping Work.

Word has been received in Walla
Walla to the effect that in all proba-
bility the big o. r. & N. tunnel at
Meacham will be abandoned. Both
ends of the tunnel have caved in and
completely blocked the progress Of re-
pairs being made on it.
Owing to the nature of the soil and
formation of the mountain through
which the tunnel passes, it is now
probable that the tunnel will be done
away with and an open cut made
through the mountain.
Over SO experienced tunnel men
have been engaged in repairing and
enlarging the opening through the
mountain for the past two months, but
as the work progresses, it is apparent
that permanent repairs that will pre-
vent the faces of the tunnel from cav
ing, will be more costly than cutting
an open passage through the mountain
and it is likely that this will be DONE
The tunnel is about 500 feet in length
and passes through a sharp point Of
a cliff perhaps go feet nigh, where the

WEALTHY DRUGGIST SUSPECTED

COMMITS SUICIDE.
He Had Proved Strong AIibi, but the
Charge Preyed Upon His
Mind.

SAVANNAH, Ills, May 25.-Roth-
we'll Pulford, the wealthy druggist
whose name has been connected with
the mysterious shooting of Represen-

Pulford went to his barn at 7:15
this morning and shot himself in the
head Although strongly suspected,
Pulford proved a complete alibi by two
witnesses and strongly protested his
innocence of the murder Pulford
was of a nervous temperament and 1t
is thought possible that the serious
charges made preyed upon his mind
and led to suicide. Gossip connected
