LESS CORN BUT MORE MONEY.
DakeAa's Sfiort Crop Beats That OF
49,. ...aa- dOna ......-.- ...-.-.-

Doane Robinson has completed his
estimate of the corn crop of the state
for this year. and while he shows an
increase of acreage over last year his
estimate is for a reduction of over
20. 600. 900 bushels in the total yield Of
the state. but he places the value of
this to the farmers of the state at
practically $4,000. 600 more than the
1906 crop, on account of the increased
value of the product. h total crop
yield was cut down this year on ac-
count of the extremely cold weather
in the corn counties early in the sea-
son, causing a poor stand of corn in
many of the fields. His detailed state
ment places h crop for this year at
~2,034,7S9 acres, with ~1,97S,466 acres
for 1906. The yield he places at &c.
561,26S bushels for this year with IT,
414.351 bushels for the yield of last
rear on a smaller acreage. He places
the value of the crop this year at
S27.2S0.634. while the greater crop nf
last yea brought the farmers s23,-
e24,305.

WALKS ON WATER
A DISTANCE OF
1900 MILES

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 11.-Captain
Charles W. Oldriev has accomplished
the feat of walking on water from Gin
cinnati to New Orleans, a distance of
1900 miles. in forty days, lacking forty
five minutes, thereby winning the
worlds championship and a bet of
$4,000.
Oldriev met with an accident yester-
day that nearly cost his life just be-
fore reaching the goal at the head of
Canal street. The big wooden shoes
suddenly slid outward and the water
walker turned turtle. His wife, who
had accompanied him all the way in a
rowboat, rescued him.
Oldriev left Cincinnati on January 1
at noon on wager he would walk to
New Orleans in forty days At the
falls above Louisville he was delayed
for twenty -four hours, and this allow
ance, it was agreed, should be computed
in the time.
Oldriev was in motion only during
daylight, passing the nights at various
landings. He was equipped with shoes
made of cedar wood. four feet five
inches long, five inches broad and seven
inches deep. In gasoline boat pre-
ceding the water-walker were Captain
]. W. weatherington of Dallas. Tex,
who backed Oldriev, and Arthur Jones,
representing Edward Williams of Bos-
ton, who laid the wager against him.

to be a fair f1lly. Amada has an out
side chance.
NIimo. on his second to DR. Scharff
a few days ago looms as the probable
winner of the second. Nuns Yelling
has been running indifferently at Ascot

to beat here. Sheen has speed. but
has been stopping. as has Joe Goss.
Watercure is the class of the third
and will win if he gets a good ride.
which is by no means certain with
F. Wilson up. Byronerdale should be
the contender. but he has such aero
batic tendencies that there is no tell
ing how he will perform. Black
Prince ran a fair race his only out
here and may prove to be a factor.
Alma Boy and Ara appear most prom
ising of the balance.
Tocolaw appears to be good again
and may be able to come right back
and win the Tradition handicap, the
fourth race on the card and the
feature event of the day. Delagoa
looks to be the likely contender, but
has not been out for a long time
Martinmas showed yesterday that he
was good and is, dangerous. Cloud
light is fast, but has bad habit of
quitting when it comes to drive.
Blagg has been showing good form,

Begun will like the distance and
looks to be in where he can win in
the fifth. Bushthorpe is a dangerous
contender. Nigrette has speed. but
may not fancy the distance. w. B..
Gates is in good shape and looks to
have outside chance.
st. Elmwood appears to be colt
of some class and probably will win
in the final race. as he has speed and
has been running with better fields.
Al Lindley is on the improve and is
the one to beat. Mitre will be right
there. if good boy rides. The colt
has been handicapped in his recent
races by the presence of an apprentice
boy in the saddle. Wool Sandals and
Ray Bennett are both somewhat dan
gerous, but the others do not appear
to call for much.
