Late news from Orizaba, Mexico,
cofirms the report that the fatalities
resulting from the strike riots at Rio
Blanco and Santa Rosa were not less
than thirty. Practically all of the kill
ed were strikers, shot by the soldiers.
The property loss is not less than ST.
100000.
The riot was the immediate result of
the exhortation of a woman, who ap-
peared at the entrance of the mills as
the men We're. entering to return to
work Monday morning, and, de-
nouncing those who were returning to
the mills as towards, urged that the
strike be resumed.
M. Garcin, owner OF the mills, was
carried concealed in a sack on the
back of a faithful servant through the
bowling mob and succeeded in escap-
ing.
The authorities have the situation
well in hand and no immediate trouble

BIG CROP or TIMOTHY SEED.

Deuel. County Farmer Makes Unusual<
" SHccessfsa Experiment.
Alfred Olson. q Deuel. county farm<
er. who last year made some interest
ing experiments In the raising OF timo-
thy seed on large scale, has just re-
ceived returns from the crop, and
these are Of an extremely gratifying
nature. Four hundred acres OF his
farm were devoted to a tame grass
crop, and all Of 1t was cut for seed.
Tho crop yielded an average Of eight
bushels per acre, and the price he
received for the crop was $3.50 per
100 pounds. He had 5000 bushels OF
timothy seed from the 400 acres. This
makes the value Of the crop $12.50 per-
acre, or a total of 5000 for the entire
crop Of timothy seed. Mr.. Olson states
that he also has a market for the,
threshed timothy straw, which will
further increase the value Of timothy
as crop. 1t Is thought that as the
result of the success of his experi-i
ment the acreage devoted to tirno-,
thy will this year be materially in-
creased in that part of the state.
