Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-22

So far nobody appears to know whether or not the visit of Hiram Fox of the state board of arbitration to Waterbury will amount to any thing. Before leaving here yesterday MT Fox was informed that an effort would be made to get both sides to the difference to submit the matter to the board, but 1t is doubtful if such thing will happen, although a member of the Master Builders as- sociation told MT Fox that he expect ed a meeting would be held some day this week when the matter will be passed upon.

BIG WHEAT AND RYE YIELD.
FROM ONE GRAIN OF WHEAT Mr.. ELLER
COUNTS A YIELD OF 5,472.

The anest wheat we have ever seen
was shown us last week. 1t was grown
by Jas. Eller, on Major VIM. j. Strib.
\ llng's place, near town, aud Robt. Miller
presented it to The Courier as q sample
of what Ooonee dirt will do. 1t. seems
unusual, unreasonable-and,o of course,
1t is both un. easonable and impossible
to claim yield of 5,472 bushels from
one bushel of wheat sown, but that is
! the proportionate yield of one cluster Of
stalks presented to US. 1t is figured out
this way: One seed produced
cluster of................ So stalks
Each 'k has "a me'hes
9l2
Each mesh has,. -. ..... grains
Making total Off,. ..5,472 grains
produced from one grain sowed.
In the West, according to Major Strib.
ling, four grains to the mesh is consid.
cred an excellent yield; in this section
two grains to the mesh is good CROP
all over this field can be found large
clusters of stalks with full heads, six
grains to the mesh.
Mr.. Eller has five acres of this wheat
from which he expects to make record
yield He got the seed from Tennessee
last fall and has given this great multi.
plier fair trial, with the most crafty.
ing results. The heads are an average
of five inches IN length, we'll filed, and
the grains are fully developed and ma.
turing nicely. The yield of this field
will be watched with no little interest by
farmers. Major Stribling says that he
has seen fine wheat in the West, and that
he has always considered that section
the only real wheat country. This
yEarls practical demonstration on his
farm, however, convinces him that, as
we have often claimed, "there's no place
like Oconee." The possibilities are
here; all that is necessary to make the
effort and give nature the proper assist
ance to equal or excel any section of this
great country.
P. A. Brown, of Wolf Stake, is doing
something in the way of raising great
rye crop. He reports the selecting of q
large cluster of stalks from one seed
fifteen stalks that average one hundred
grains to the head. This is an increase
of 1900 per cent.
These samples, of course, could not be
taken as basis for estimating til, crops,
as they are in each instance abnormal
growtbs. Both wheat and rye crops,
however, show unusual proportions and
promise extraordinary Yields.

LARCENY CASE

Hazel Sims was brought to Spo-
kane from Newport, Wash, and in
police court this morning Jointly
charged with Charles Heaton with
grand larceny. Both pleaded not
guilty. A. H. White. the complain
ing witness, said that he had come

erous drinks. Eventually, Heaton

mond ring valued at $125 and a
diamond stud worth S35. Twelve

Heaton was apprehended in Mis-
soula, Mont, and brought to this
city by Detective McDermott. On
the stand he admitted everything
but the theft. White and Heaton
were brought face to face on Sat.
urday after Heaton's arrival from
Missoula. White then refused to
recognize Heaton. This made
Chief of Police Waller angry and
he asked White what he meant by
causing the force to go to the trou.
bic of apprehendlng Heaton and
then not being able to recognize
in him the man accused of the
robbery. White was finally forced
to admit Heaton's identity after
Waller had taken him before Jus.
tice Hinkle and threatened to pros
ecute him for perjury.
The case will be continued to-
morrow morning.

FISCHER
HIS JOB

A. R. Fischer, manager of the
Big Rink at Natatorium park. has
lost his job over a little incident
said to have occurred last night.
Harry Peckham, formerly of the
Cineograph theater lost a watch at
the rink and a small boy found
it, according to C. w. Hoyt, presi-
dent of the company. Fischer
made Harry Peckham give up a re-
ward of 81 before he could get the
watch, saying the boy demanded
that amount as a reward. Presi-
dent Hoyt heard of the incident
this morning and notified Fischer
that his services were no longer
required. The last seen of Hoyt
he was looking for Peckham with
that 81 to give him.

TELL WHY
THEY KICK

Residents out on East Third and
other streets affected by the pro-
posed franchise of the Rapid Tran
sit company along Second, vigor-
ously resent the imputation that
they are in any way Influenced by
the fight the Washington Water
Power company and Traction COM
pany are putting up against the
other line. Frank X. Brown, who
owns property on East Third and
East Second is one OF the leaders
in the protests both against the
right of way wanted by the Rapid
Transit and the assumption that he
has no other motive than helping
the rival concerns. Brown says the
granting of a right of way along
Second from Helena to the city
limits will leave strip of IA
blocks completely hemmed in by
tracks and depreciate the property
in proportion. Second, he points
out, is the only street in that
neighborhood not carrying tracks
and the blocks affected have no
alley. A regrade, Brown claims,
would also be necessary that would
lower the present grade from two
to ten feet. These are some of
the real reasons, it is claimed, why
the property owners interested
signed the petition and upon which
the fight will be made tomorrow
night in the council against grant
ing the franchise. II there Is no
other way out of 1t the residents
say they may compromise on a
single track, but will line up solid
against the double track wanted
by the Rapid Transit.
