Old Bachelors and Old Maids Hold
Convention
HAVE PECULIAR AND FREAMsH NOTIONS
CLINTON MERRIcK WELCOMED
THE DELEGATES AT FOREST
CITY, IOWA, TODAY.

FOREST CITY, Ia, July 25.-1f the
few dozen old bachelors and old maids
who met here today in convention in
accordance with the call issued by
Clinton Merrick, chairman of the OLD
bachelors committee had the deciding
voice. very few, if any, babies would
be born in this country. The conven-
ton is one of the oldest conglomera-
tiOnS that ever came together in one
place. Most of the members Of the
convention are really old bachelors
and old maids, with all the peculiar
and freakish notions which many
years of celibacy are apt to develop
in individuals Some of those present
zeal in their views and notions and
have probably been attracted more by
of the railroads than by the desire to
assist in launching the movement
launch. At the opening of the con-
vention Clinton Merrick, who is the
leading spirit and head of the meet
ing, welcomed the bachelors and old
maids present and delivered an adj
dress in which he explained the the
cries in support of which the cOnven-
ton has been called. He attacked the
theory of race suicide as interpreted
by President Roosevelt and MAIN
tanned that race suicide really did not
consist in the birth of too few, but
in the birth of too many children. He
entered into a lengthy discussion of
the question and was enthusiastically
applauded by the meeting.
There was some disappointment that
President Roosevelt had not accepted
the challenge of the committee to de-
bate the race suicide question with the
old maids and bachelors. The meet
ing intends to form a permanent Or
ganization and to nominate a complete
state ticket on the platform advOcat-
ing race suicide as condemned by Pres
iden Roosevelt

MANY FATALITIES At BOISE CITY
Within Past Seventeen Days Twelve
Persons Have Met Terrible
Deaths There.

BOISE, July 25.-More terrible fatal
accidents have occurred in Boise and
the immediate surrounding country
during the present month than was
ever before known in the same length
of time in the history of the city.
Within the last Il days an even dozen
persons have lost their lives in a hor-
rible manner, five of whom were burned
to death and four drowned. This is
not including the death by drowning
of a. Crutcher. of Emmett, on July IA.
nor Leroy Bell. who was drowned on
July while in swimming in the Boise
river near Pine
Saturday night, when Walter Hell
frich received a fractured skull in a
runaway accident, it was at first sup
posed that he would be the thirteenth
victim on the appalling list of fatali-
ties, as it was doubted if he would
last long after his injury, but he still
has fighting chance for his life and
last evening it was said if he held
out IS hours the change would likely
be for the better. 1t will take that
many hours before the physicians will
know what the fate of the boy will be.

Central Electric railway, which will
encircle the Grand Ronde valley, is
progressing most favorably. The first
consignment of steel has been pur-
chased and ties are already scattered
along much of the grade, and in a
short time track-laying will begin. 1t
is the purpose of the company to crowd
work just at fast as men can be Sc
cured to carry it on. Everything now
points to the early completion of the
Cove line, after which the company
will probably proceed with the extern
sion to La Grande and put on a large
additional force on the road from
Union up Catherine creek to the tim
Der and mines.

tends to go forward with plans for an
antarctic expedition in 1907. On this
trip he expects to have the benefit Of
various inventions and improvements
which have come into existence since
he first started for the antarctic con-
tinent nearly ten years ago. Among
these will be novel air cooled motor
for travelling over the ice. Explorers
OF regions where the reign Of ice is
continuous are adopting the motor sled
IN place Of the dog sled. DR.. Cook ex-
poets to be able to travel over the ice
at rate Of about fifteen miles an hour
with his up to date vehicle. The sleds
are on the front axles and the wheel
on the rear axies are belted with fbee
to grip tie ice as the machine moves
along. In such a motor car the explor-
er looks forward to travelling far south
ward, perhaps even to the south pole It
self.
Though he Is only forty-one years of
age. DR.. Cook has already participated
in a number Of important polar jour-
neys. He was surgeon Of the Peary
arctic expedition Of 1S91-92 and occu-
pied similar position with the expedi-
ton organized in 1897 under the aus
pieces Of the Belgian government to
look for the south pole and make in
vestigations upon the antarctic CONT
nent. Valuable discoveries were made
by the explorers during their stay of
about two years far from the farthest
outposts Of civilization.

SAYS 900 VARIETIES
OF NEW PLANTS INTRO.
DUCED THIS YEAR.

Prof. c. V. Piper, formerly of the
state agricultural college at Pullman,
now agrostologist Of the United States
department of agriculture, is in the
city. says the Seattle Intelligence
err. Prof Piper was for ten years in
charge of the biological work at Pull
man, leaving there in 1908. At the
present time he directs the forage crop
Investigations of the department of
agriculture.
In speaking of this work, Prof. Piper
said:
Many Varieties Of Plants.
"Some idea of the magnitude of the
work of the department may be CLEANED
from the fact that in the last year over
5000 new varieties of plants were in
troduced, mostly from foreign coun-
tries, of which a considerable proper
ton are forage crops. OF course only
a few of these are going to prove of
high enough value to warrant their
general Introduction into agriculture,
but the enormous Importance of any
new crop that will increase the yield
per acre, or result in the utilization
be realized by such examples as the
durum wheat and Kaffir corn, the
to several millions of dollars each
year. These two crops alone have
brought into agricultural use a strip
of arid land over 100 miles wide in
the plains region of Kansas, Texas and
Utah.
"The numerous new plants intro
duced by the department are tested In
a preliminary way at several testing
stations devoted to the purpose
"The aim is to test each introduce
ton until it's value is determined for
each section Of the country, discard
ing worthless ones as rapidly as pos
sible and bringing into agricultural use
the valuable ones.
Arabian Alfalfa.
among foreign crops one of the
most valuable is the newly introduced
Arabian alfalfa. which grows so rap
idly as to produce five crops where
the ordinary variety will produce but
four. This we regard so valuable that
all the available seed was secured for
distribution this year.
"a new variety of timothy which
will yield two crops each season we
also consider of high value, and we
expect to have seed of this in large
quantities by another season.
cat our testing stations in Texas
and California we are growing this
year over 500 varieties of sorghum.
most of them entirely new to this
country. We anticipate that some of
these will be of very great value on
account of their extreme resistancy to
drought,
I'm addition to the work of intro
ductiOn much is being done also to
breed better varieties, particularly of
grasses and alfalfa Very marked re-
suits are being reached in this way.
and this type of work will doubtless
be greatly increased especially when
we feel that we have fairly tested all
the varieth that reach us through
foreign sources"
Prof. Piper will return east on Mon
day.
