cities have made many announcements
of it to their readers.

THE MAN ON THE FARM.
Fine Tribute to Agriculturists Made
by Gov. Hughes.

Gov. Hughes, of New York, makes
this appeal for the country:
when you get out where a man
has a little elbow room and a chance
to develop, he has thoughts of his
own His thinking is not supplied to
him every night and every morning,
and he is less of machine and more
of a man, so that I do not think that
the farmers need to be looked upon
or want to be looked upon as depend
ents of the state. They do not come
to the state government asking aims.
They are self-reliant, they are intelli-
gent. What we want in connection
with agriculture is what we want in
connection with every other field Of
noble effort.
we want training, we want intelli-
gence, we want scientific method, we
want direction, we want the way
shown, and then the man can walk in
it. There is no reason why the same
care and attention and skill and sci
entific consideration should not be de-
voted to agriculture as to industry and
the technical trades.
"The men who are running away
from the farms too frequently make a
mistake, and some day in New York
and the day is rapidly approaching
our young men in larger numbers
will wake up to the fact that they
have a pretty good chance on the
farm, and that they may be to a great
er degree independent and happy in
life IL they stay where their happy
lots were cast in connection with
their fathers farm or another which
they may be able to procure. Les.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-11-08

There is a strong possibility that
next season may see an important
change in football scoring methods
The practice of making a goal from
the field equal in value to a touch
down was changed some seasons ago,
and at least one influential and i'm
portant member of the football rules
committee is in favor of abolishing
the extra point allowed when a goal
is kicked from placement after a
touchdown. This man, who was a
member of the old rules committee be-
fore the reformation of the game in
1905, thinks that the difficulty of kick
ing this goal is not by any means one
fifth as great as that of scoring a
touchdown, and that there is no real
reason for continuing to award a point
for such goal
1t is thought by good many per-
sons that there is so little difficulty in
kicking this goal that many games
are delayed by the time taken to punt
out and make the kick. Of course,
many goals are missed, but it is not
often that critical game is decided
by the scoring or failure in scoring a
single point. Probably the last case
of the kind was in the Pennsylvania
Cornell game in 1908, when the score
was II to II, and there is a good deal
of reasonable argument permissible
as to whether a game should hinge on
such a point. 1t is often the case,
when goal is missed, that a sudden
puff of wind had more to do with the
direction of the kick than the play
er's foot, and luck may easily, in such
a case, decide an important contest

MUaDER0US MINES.

WANT A FLYING START.
Eastern Turf Stewards Plan to Test a

Eastern Turf Stewards Plan to Test a
New System at the Track.
New York, Dec. 19.-Race horses
next season will be sent away from d
moving start. This has been definite
~ decided upon by the turf authori-
ties. This move has been under dis
cussion a long while, but the advo-
Gates of the new system have event
ually triumphed and the old system
of starting horses from a standstlll
will be abolished.
The standing start would have been
all right if all the horses literally
broke from a standstill, it was figured.
but in seven starts out of ten some
horses were in motion while the re-
mainder of the field were standing.
This made an uneven start and the
horse that was moving always secured
a big advantage.
For a long time the advocates of
the moving system of starting have
been trying to secure the consent of
the stewards to this method. The
friends of Starter Cassidy have al
ways maintained that his work with
the barrier was fully 100 per cent bet
ter under the moving system than IL
was when he sent his fields away fiat
footed. They have now secured the
consent of the turf authorities and it
will be given a long trial during the
Bennings meeting. If it is successful
it will be brought north and adopted
on the local tracks. but if Cassidy's
work shows no improvement over the
old style of starting the standing
method will again go into effect.

wreck which occurred on the Union
Pacific Wednesday was just after the
train had crossed the bridge over the
Republican river, where a broken rail
was struck, and proved more serious
than first reported. All the coaches
were derailed and the engine alone re-
manned on the track. Charles Baker
of Junction City, the negro porter,
was killed; Conductor Frank Wilbert
of Belleville, was dangerously in
jured; Fred Powell, county attorney
of Washington county, is believed to
be fatally injured, his skull being
crushed and internal injuries inflicted.
Mrs. Denneau of Clyde, suffered in
ternal injuries. Others who were in
jured suffered only bruises or sprains.
The dead and injured were taken to

plosfons, and also to make suggestions
as to how mining conditions may be
improved and accidents prevented,
George Otis Smith, director Of the geo.
logical survey, through explosive ex-
perts, made a number of examinations
of the more dangerous coal mines of
Indian Territory. In addition, the ma
ture and cause of a number of disas-
trous coal mine explosions in several
of the states were made.
The conclusions of the experts are
found in a bulletin issued today on
coal mine accidents their causes and
let1n that an increase in the number
and in the seriousness of mine explo-
s1onS may be expected to continue has
already proven Hateful for since the
words were written the country has
been startled with the news of three
mine explosions, costing nearly 500 lives.
The first explosion occurred in Penn
sylyania in the early part of December
Monongah mine disaster in West Vir-
GINA with loss Of nearly 400 lives
and the explosion in Alabama the 9TH
er day with 81 lives lost. Summing up
the situation the bulletin says:
1T is indicated that this increase in
the loss of life has been due in part to
the lack of proper and enforceable mine
regulations; in part to the lack of relia-
BILE information concerning the explos-
ives used in mining, and the conditions
under which they can be used safely IN
the presence of the gas and dust en-
countered in the mines: and in part to
the fact that in the development of coal
mining not only is the number of mines
increasing but many from which coal
is being taken are either deeper or far
Their from the entrance, where good
ventilation is more difficult and the
dangerous accumulations of explosive
gas more frequent.
The increase both in the number and
seriousness of mine explosions during
the past few years may be expected to
increase, unless thorough investigations.
such as have proved effective in other
coal producing countries, information
can be obtained and published concern
ing the explosives used, the conditions
under which they may be safely used,
and the general conditions which make
for health and safety. Such informa-
ton may serve as an intelligent basis
for legislative enactment and for agree
ments among persons associated with
mining operatives"
The bulletin shows that in all Euro
pean coal producing countries the out
put of coal has increased greatly dur
ing the last ten years, but the number
of deaths per 1000 miners, instead OF
increasing as in this country, has I'M
dergone a, marked decrease. This de-
crease has been due, the bulletin says,
to the effect of mining legislation in
those countries for the safeguarding
and protection of the lives of the work.

MAKING MORE LIGHT CARS.
Tendency of Auto Manufacturers in
Paris to Quit Heavy Machines.

New York, Dec. 19.-Reports from
the tenth annual automobile exhibit
in the Grand palace of Paris indicate
that the tendency of French manufac-
turers is toward light cars. "A number
of leading inventors. among them De-
launay-B are devoting their
attention to making their machines as
light as possible. They have got the
weight down to less than a ton for the
smaller machines. 1t would seem that
if light cars are desirable in France,
where the roads are so excellent, they
are all the more necessary for comfort
on American roads.
In Paris the big machines are going
out of fashion. The French makers
are directing their attention to the
commercial possibilities of light auto
mobiles. The waning popularity of
the monsters in size and speed is
shown by the reduced number ex-
hibited and the general cut in prices
of from 80 to 40 per cent. H. H.
Franklin, who has been the pioneer
maker of lightweight automobiles in
America, declares that the action of
the French designers will soon be fol-
lowed by all automobile manufactur-
ers. Franklin builds a touring car
weighing only 1000 pounds.

TO RAISE PRICE OF GAS.

price of gas may have to be raised and
they didn't care to be bound up with

others have stated that they were re-
