On account of the clover being
lodged so bad l was obliged to hay g
four men follow each mower and
throw the cut swath out of the way,
thus getting it out of the way of
the mower and enabling us to do a
good Job of cutting.
You will observe that my seed
crop was The first and only crop
from the field during the year, as a
second crop could not be grown and
matured after August 18th, yet it
grew to be splendid pasture. You
will understand. that red clover is

years, but have Observed however,

ust that it reseeds itself more readi-

the young clover gets much bet

tirely covered, there being about
half an acre on which there was
no clover, it having been smothered
out by the wheat lodging, and we
also wasted some by not having it
properly bunched, as it had to be
torn apart in pitching it up which
shelled it badly. To be exact the

is almost perpetual sunshine. This
the Boise valley has in abundance.

A Chilly Exper enCe.

Monroe and Fay r. Smith arrived
in town yesterday on No. s, and
will remain with their father, w.
S. H. Smith through the coming
summer. Monroe is the young man
who was reported frozen to death
some weeks ago. While his ap-
pearance here disproves that state-
ment, yet he had an experierce
which he does not care to pass
through again. He was in Cana la
at the time and had left Yellow
Brush to go to Willow Bunch, but
on the second day out got lost in a
snow storm. The Thermometer was
38 below zero and he was just about
to give up from cold and fatigue
when he spied a shack and with
his remaining strength dragged
himself to within hailing distance
when he laid down exhausted and
called as loudly as his weskene
condition would permit for help
Luckily the occupants of the shack
heard the cries and took him in.
He was quite badly frozen, but
aside from few tender spots he is
now all right. He thinks, however,
that that country is not fit for hu-
man habitation in the winter sea-

fact that a fine 10-room school

this year, says Mrs. Wertz, and
still the rooms are crowded to their
utmost capacity, and still new peo-
pie come to town with more child

necessary next year to secure rooms
outside the school house or to erect
another house, as the tide of new

MOST DRAMATIC SCENE.
Emperor Of Korea Finally Signs Alb.
dicatIon Decree.

dicatIon Decree.
Seoul, Korea, July 2O-The emperor
has finally signed the imperial re.
script of abdication, as recommended
by his ministers In the document
the emperor expresses his regret that
during the forty-four years of his reign
national calamities have followed in
rapid succession and the peoples dis.
tress has become so aggravated that
he deemed it now time to transfer
the crown to the heir apparent in con-
formity with ancestral usages.
It is reported that most dramatic
scene occurred at the palace when
the ministers, headed by Premier vi
Wang Yong, appeared before his
majesty and made the cabinets final
representation in urging the emperor's
abdication. His majesty was in a
high state of excitement, but the pre-
mier, in the most humble but firm
tone, dwelt at length upon want of
precaution and prudence of the en-
peror's policies hitherto, especially in
diplomatic affairs, whereby he was en-
dangering the safety Of the nation.
The premier enumerated the facts of
his majesty's Duplicates, which Gull
minated in the dispatch Of deputa-
tion to The Hague peace conference,
and forcibly reasoned the uselessness
Of the emperor's disavoWal Of his rela-
ton with The Hague affair.
Unable to successfully combat the
logic of the premier's representation
the emperor sought last refuge in
the council of elder statesmen, doubt
less anticipating their sympathies.
The emperor's disappointment and
surprise was boundless when they
unanimously agreed with the minis
ter's advice. His majesty's mind was
finally made up and he consented to
the draft of an imperial reseript an
nouncing his abdication, which was
placed before him for his signature.
The emperor's Condition was indie
scribable. Greatly agitated and per-
turbed he signed the document and
the seal was affixed amid impressive
silence. A suppressed sigh from the
emperor was the only sound which
broke the deathlike stiffness that
reigned throughout the memorable
| scene.

FORTY PERSONS KILLED
ONE HUNDRED INJURED
At Noon Today the Pere Marquette
Excursion Train Was Wrecked
Near Salem, Michigan.

Salem, Mich, July 2O.-(Special
to Pioneer. )-From thirty to forty
persons were killed and about one
hundred were injured this morning
when the Pere Marquette excursion
train of eleven coaches from Ionia,
carrying the members of company
IS" Shops there on their annual
excursion to Detroit, collided with
the west-bound freight train two
miles east of this village. At IL
o'clock twenty-five bodies had been
taken from the wreck and there were
many more known to be still in the
ruins. There were eight hundred
persons crowded into eleven coaches
of the train, many of them women
and children, all bound for a holiday
in Detroit.
The wreck occurred on perfectly
straight and level piece of track.
The heavy freight and passenger
trains came together with enormous
force and six of the eleven passenger
coaches were entirely wrecked.
