CoNSERyES ARTEsIAN WATER
Bill to Save Farmer From Duck Hunt.
ers' Waste Passes

SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-Carter of
Los Angeles came out as a champion of
the sporting fraternity on the floor of
the Senate today in opposing Senator
Willis bill restricting the use of the
water from artesian wells. Gun clubs
in the southern part of the State have
been disturbing the farmers because
they are using artesian wells they con-
troll in making artificial lakes for duck
shooting.
Carter thought this lay quite within
the right of the wealthy wing shots,
anxious for little sport, but Senators
Irish, Price and Rush said the very
argument he used increased their ap-
proval of the measure fourfold. The
bill passed with Carter's as the only
dissenting vote.

FORETOLD IN
CORN CROP
EUROPEAN FAILURES WILL
FORCE WORLD TO LOOK TO
AMERICA FOR FooD-wHEAT
OUTLOOK is BETTER

The outlook for an unprecedented
the country and commercial interests,
including the railroads as well, is ev-
idenced by the government crop report
for August, which was issued yester-
Gay at Washington
Never before in the history of the
nation has the outlook been So bright
for high prices on the average for all
farmers commodities.
The situation today is this: There
is a shortage of 3O0,O0O,0OO bushels
of corn. 100,000,O0O bushels of wheat,
100,000,000 bussels Of oats by COM
parison with last year.
According to the report the outlook
for the wheat crop is far better than
1t was month ago. The oat crop, it
is stated by those conversant, is the
worst known in years, besides being
1O0,0O0,0OO bushels short. ].
Here is the Estimate.
The government crop report est1-
mate in detail is as follows:
Winter wheat, 409,50O,O00 bushels.
Spring wheat, 229,OOO,OOO bushels.
Oats, S76.000,O00 bushels.
Rye, 31.000,000 bushels.
Corn, 2,607 100000 bushels.
Barley 169,000,000 bushels.
Spring wheat stands at 70 4-10, as
to 81 2-10 for July. Oats are 81 per
cent, as to 76 2-1O per cent for July.
The crop in Europe is practically a
failure, and from the reports receiv-
ed by the government the world will
have to look to the farmers of this
country for the deficiency in the food
material.
In commenting On the present crop
outlook, James A. Patten, who owns
Is, 100000 bushels of oats, said yes
terday:
81 look for an unprecedented year
of prosperity among the farmers and
all the general business interests Of
the country. While there is a general
shortage in the crops, the increase III
price will more than make up for il
to the farmers.
Oat Crop "a Failure.
1.-THE oat crop will be one of the
worst in the history Of the country
Not only will there be shortage of
about 100,000,000 bushels, but that
which is harvested will be of a poor
grade.
"The railroads of the land will have
all the grain they can handle in fact
some of the roads will find themselves
rushed to care for the shipments.

FIRE BUGS BURN C. AND s. DEPOT
/ AT BOULDER, COLO, IN WHICH
FOUR TONS OF EXPLOSIVES
WERE STORED

EXPLOSION WERE COLORADO
UNIVERSITY MEN AIDING FIRE
MEN FIGHT FLAMES.

Boulder, Colo. Aug 10.-Early this
morning fire believed to be of in
cendiary origin broke out in the Colo
RADIO and Southern freight depot and
while large crowd of people were as
sistipg in quenchng the flame four
tons of dynamite loaded upon fiat car
exploded, injuring persons numbered
variously from fifty to one hundred,
some Of whom will probably die.
The fire mad progressed only a short
time and was in fair way to being
brought under control through the I'M
flinching efforts of a hundred or more
volunteer firemen when the terrible
explosion rendered many firmen and
spectators senseless and sent stones
and bricks flying in all directions. A
panic seized upon the people and they
ran hither and thither, many injured
and bleeding lying on the ground.
A partial list of the injured follows:
Roy H. Lefadre,
Ike o. Wilson,
Edwin Cook,
Alex. Spartell,
Eryy Hitler,
Ed. Aubrey,
Jack Livingstone, Denver.
All but Livingstone are Boulder
residents. The force of the explosion
tore a hole in the ground fifteen feet
and broke practically every pane OF
glass In town. A number Of buildings
and freight cars were wrecked.
Boulder is the seat of the Colorado
State university and number of those
injured weer students at the univer-
sity whose parents live in the town.
That the depot was fired by incen-
diaries is suspected from the fact that
the S. and S. trainmen have been
on strike and have made threats
against the company. Evidences OF
lncendiarism we're also found, the
local police say.
