Originating New Varieties.

During the last season % varieties
of tobacco were grown at the expert
ment station to study the various
types Of tobacco for breeding purposes.
over 25 crosses between these dil
ferent varieties were made and the
seeds saved for planting the coming
year This work was undertaken with
the idea of producing, if possible, by
pure breeding and selection, a new
variety or varieties of tobacco that
would further increase the yield ana
improve the quality. Mr.. Sandsten b.
lieves that we have not yet found an
ideal variety of tobacco for Wisconsin.

The first accident at the scene of

CURED this morning at $3.50 o'clock at
Twohy Bros camp No. 2, about two
and q half miles this side of Lyle, says
The Dalles Chronicle.
In company with another workman,
Charlie Swanson, Il Swede, was blast
ing for a tunnel, being the only two on
the night Shift last night. His COM
panion was in the cayote hole, boring
hole to receive the powder, while
Swanson was outside thawing out the
powder over a camp fire. He held
four sticks in his hands, when. as
might have been expected, an eXplo-
sion occurred.
Fastening out the man found Swan
son crawling about on the ground in
the dark wrlthlng in pain. His hands
We're virtually blown off and scarce
ly waiting to find out how badly he
was hurt, his companion fastened for
assistance. Az soon as possible the
little launch Princess May was secur-
de and the poor fellow brought to the
city and taken to the hospital.
As 1t happened, DR., w. o. Dutton,
general medical superintendent for
the north bank line, was in the city,
and with nrs. Ferguson and Reuter-,
made the poor fellow as comfortable
as possible. Besides having his hands
almost blown off at the wrist, his right
eye is out, left eye injured, right leg
and arm injured and his face burned,
He retained consciousness on the way
up, but suffered fearfully.
The doctors say that as soon as he
recovers from the shock his hands
must be amputated, leaving him vir-
tually helpless and in reality worse
than dead.
And so another victim is added to
the long list of those who thaw pow
der over camp fires.
