FARMERS ARE
SUCCEEDING
Efforts 80 Miles North
in Steptoe Valley--At-
tended by Excellent
Results Sugar, Beet
and Corn Country

J. l.. Rice arrived in the city yes
terday from Warm Springs, in re-
sponse to summons to appear in the
matter of charges preferred by him
last week against Luke Hylan, whom
he alleges threatened his life with a
Winchester in effort to prevent his
use of water which he claims for ir-
rigation purposes. There will prob
ably be a preliminary hearing today.
Mr.. Rice states that on 4S0 acres
of land which he holds with his
brother and which they have under
irrigation, excellent results are be-
ing secured from experimental agri-
cultural efforts which they have car
ried on this season. Among other
things they have found that the
soil of the valley is well adapted to
sugar beets, corn, cabbage and
smaller vegetables.
Corn planted on the 5th of June
is now over four feet high and in
fine condition. On less than an acre
over 1000 heads of cabbage have
reached size larger than an ordinary
fist and give every promise of max
ing a big crop. An acre of sugar
beets are prospering in manner that
has occasioned much enthusiasm
among those who understand the
crop and who believe that the Steptoe
valley represents excellent sugar
beet country. Beans, peas, onions
and potatoes are growing on the
ranch in thrifty manner, while grass
stands six feet high. A big hay crop
is now being cut.
There are several thousand acres
which could be put under water and
used for growing sugar beets." said
Mr.. Rice yesterday, the beet appear
ing to represent his favorite agricul
tural growth. II think that the
time will come when this will be
done and that it Is not far distant.
When We get along little further we
will take the matter of beet sugar
factory up with beet sugar makers
and | think we will be able to show
them a sufficient acreage to warrant
the erection and operation of plant
on beets grown in White Pine coun-
ty I do not think there is room for
doubt but that the soil of the valley
is particularly adapted for this crop,
while the climatic conditions are also
very favorable"
The Rice ranch is 80 miles north
of Ely City in the Steptoe valley.

Mr.. Mack, however, steadily grew
but he was confronted with handi-
cap which had to be removed.
The well known opposition OF
Messrs. Murphy and Conners toward
him because of his rivalry with Mr.
Conners for the control of the Erie
company, stood in the way. The long
distance telephone was put into play
and Mr.. Corners, after the situation
in the committee was explained to
him, declared that he would nc
longer interpose any objections, but
that Mr.. Murphy's views must first
be obtained. The Tammany leader
gave his approval, and with the at
mosphere thus cleared Mr.. Mack was
elected by acclamation.
So pleased was Mr.. Bryan that he
gave out statement, which follows ::
THE action of the committee in
its selection of officers" said he, "is
very satisfactory. Mr.. Mack is a
member of the committee, and it has
been felt all the time that the chair
man should be taken from the COM
mittee unless there was some weighty
reason for going outside, and no such
reason appeared. Mr.. Mack's ap-
pointment is a recognition of the
eastern Democracy and an announce
ment that We expect to fight for New
York. He is in harmony with our
platform, and l can say of him per-
sonally that he has been a close and
trusted friend in my two former cam
paigns. One of the strongest argu-
ments in his favor was that he Is a
great business man. Beginning at
the bottom of the ladder, he has built
up business that amounts to more
than a half million dollars year,
and the executive ability that he has
shown in his work commended him
to the committee that made the Sc
lection"

ANOTHER TRY
At ESCAPE
Desperate County Jail
Prisoner Had Almost
Opened Way When
Discovered by Sheriff
and a Deputy

The second attempt at jail break
ing within a weeks time was frus-
trated last night by the timely ar
rival of Sheriff Davis and Deputy AL
Butler. Shortly before 9 O'Clock the
two officers were about to lock up
the place for the night when they
discovered Carr, held to the grand
Jury for lodging house robbery, In
an attempt to secure his freedom by
making his way underneath the
building and through the lower wall.
The prisoner had sawed through
the two inch planking of the floor
with a case knife and had succeeded
in making a hole for his body to pass
through. He had also dug away suf-
ficient ground under the floor to al
low of his egress to the outside but
for small amount of obstruction
that it would have taken but few
moments longer to remove.
While he was busily engaged at
this work. the officers suddenly ap-
peared and prevented what might
have developed in escape of the six
prisoners held in the Jail. Carr was
Immediately taken in charge as we'll
as the rest of the prisoners and a
diligent and complete search was in
stituted. Everything was removed
from the Jail that might be useful In
further attempt at gaining freedom
and a night guard was given orders
, to keep close watch.
Had Carr been successful in his
attempt to get free it is not unlikely
that the remaining FIVE prisoners
would also have taken advantage of
the opportunity of escaping. Four
of the prisoners are held for the
grand jury on felony charges, while
the other two are in for minor Of
fenses.
Carr's persistence in effort to es-
cape from the county jail is begin
ming to lead the officers to belief
that more serious crime hangs over
the man than that which occasioned
his arrest and commitment to the
Grand Jury here. His first effort to
secure release from Jail was made
by Carr when arraigned for prelim-
mary hearing. He at that time
pleaded for his freedom on his own
recognizance on the ground that his
health was such that he could not
stand confinement in Jail and at the
same time entered a sympathy appeal
for the keeping from publicity of his
name because of fear that the news
of arrest would reach his mother. In
view of the efforts the man has since
made to escape ground is given tolook
upon both of these appeals as mere
subterfuges under which Carr hoped
to gain his liberty and clear the coun-
try before other crimes were attach
ed to him. The vigilance of Sheriff
Davis and Deputy Butler earns much
praise in relation to the prevention
of escape of Carr and the other pris-
oners in the jail. The latter is in
no wise stable and the confinement
of prisoners there a risk at all times.
Only the fact that close watch has
been kept continuously has averted
deliveries at the will of the pris-
Oners.

saved the life Ct one man and caused
the hanging Of two others.
One black night a clerk named s H..
