50 BUSHELS ON
THE RESERVATION
REPORTS OF BIG YIELDS
ARE NOW BEING RECEIVED.
Many Are Now Harvesting Immense
Crops of Fine Grain-Grade of
Wheat Is Also Proving TO Be First
Glass, Testing so Pounds and More
Farmers Are Generally Well
Pleased With Prospects-More Au.
tOmobiles Next Year.

Reports of wheat yields are now be-
ing brought in from the sections
where threshing is under way, and
all accounts show most favorable re-
suits. on the reservation and in the
vicinity of Adams, where threshing
is now in full blast, reports show
much 40-bushel wheat, while fire.
quenty a field will yield so bushels
OF more. The heaviest yield so far
reported is from the ranch of L. L.
Rogers, near Adams, where one field
yielded 55 bushels per acre.
While threshing has not been under
way long enough to reveal just what
the complete yields will be on the
various ranches, the amounts cut so
far give some indication of the out
come. on the Tom Thompson and
the Maloney & Hodgens ranches on
the reservation, 4O-bushel crops are
reported. The same is true on the
Sam Thompson place near Eastland,
while on one of George Peringer's
ranches where harvesting is now on,
the wheat is said to be running be-
tween 80 and S5 bushels per acre.
Thus far but little has been heard
from Stage Gulch and other sections
west, but what reports have been re-
ceived also show good yields.
Aside from the satisfactory yields
the grade of wheat this year is also
proving good, though some of 1t is
said to be slightly pinched. Most of
that brought in so far has tested so
or higher, which is a good showing,
as heretofore 5S pounds per bushel
has constituted No. 1 wheat.
With the good harvest outlook, and
with every reason to expect good
prices, the farmers are now general
ly optimistic. and IL the harvest passes
off as successfully as il has COM
menced. automobiles will become even
more common among them than at
] present.

OF Orchards Version OF the ExpIo-
sion Which Wrecked Bradlcy's
House Shown by Analysis.

Boise, July 25.-Clarence Darrow
showed the strain he has been labor
ing under for the past "a hours when
he resumed his final appeal to the
jury. His face was drawn and voice
husky, but this quickly wore off and
! soon he was talking with his accus-
| toned vigor. ..
He plunged at once into the Colo
rado troubles. In scathing terms he
placed the entire responsibility at the
door Of the mineowners.
Explaining why simpkins was not
here, Darrow said the best reason he
could give was he was afraid to be
here. In fact, he ran away. How
ever, Darrow declared this by no
means proved nm guilty. The feder-
alton kept simpkins on the executive
board, he declared. because he is not
yet proven guilty.
Explaining why the defense did not

clared he is under indictment for
murder, and by testifying he would
prejudice his own case, Adams is
willing to do anything for Haywood,
but the sacrifice would not be per-

have jeopardized his own neck. and
the counsel finally granted his re-
quest.
Regarding Pettibone. he declared
he was not an officer of the fedora
tion, but just a plain, companionable,
sympathetic man, who befriended
Orchard.
Darrow spent more than an hour
discussing Orchards story of the
Bradley explosion, comparing his tes-
timony with that of Bradley. From
it he argued that Orchard lied there
as he has in every material point af-
fecting Haywood. He said the states
contention of two separate explosions
was absolutely disproved by the
stories of all the witnesses.

was awarded the contract for macad-
amizing 32 blocks in the residence
portion of the city The streets in
cluded in the contract are West Webb,
from the railroad track to the western
edge of the city; West Alta. from
Garden to Chestnut; East Court, from
Vincent to the Byers mill race.
Owing to the fact that the petition
for the macadamizing Of Raley street,
on the north side, was filed later, the
contract for improving that thorough
fare will be let later.
When the bids were opened last
evening 1t was found that Newport q
Son had offered the lowest bid and
accordingly the street committee re-
ported in favor Of accepting their Of
fer. The various bids submitted were

subject of using stone in the con-
struction of crosswalks, and the COM
mittee was authorized to have several
crosswalks constructed for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the merit of that
material.

my impression is that the people
could not be won away by the liquor
interests to give the island over to the
trade and l believe that the Hawa-
iians would vote for local option and
that they would stand for the best in
terests of the island. / talked with
numerous prominent men of Kauai and
they seem to be of the opinion that the
majority would favor local option. Some
of these gentlemen told me that they
thought there was more liquor sold un-
der the present system than there would
be if bars were in existence, and they
think that the rule of only wholesale
houses selling really results in more
liquor being sold.
81 think if soliciting for trade in
the camps was abolished that something
of remedy would be found. My own
opinion is that the present rule is bet
ter than allowing bars. -
