THURSDAY. JULY 9. 1908

Deputy Assessor Murch, who die
the assessing in Nezperce, Kamiah,
Peck, Mohler, Central Ridge, Gil
bert, Russell, Fletcher ard the east
part of Cold Springs precinct, took
an agricultural report of these pre-
.cincts which is the most complete
lot of statistics ever gathered in this
section of the county. His report
shows that there we're IS, $40 acres of
wheat in these precincts in 1907,
which made on an average of 504
bushels to the acre, or a total of
926 300 bushels. Had all this
wheat been sold at 90 cents per
bushel it would have brought $780,
140. A difference CT n cent a
bushel on this amount Of grain would
mean So, 269 and a difference of FIVE
cents per bushel would mean S46,-I
345 to this entire section. The
same year there were 43,100 acres
in barley which made on an everage
of 474 bushels to the acre or a total
of 2,047 $50 bushels. Had all the
barley been sold at 48 cents per
bushel it would have brought $685.
ESQ., A different of one cent per
bnshel on this total amount meant
S50,472.50 for this section. There
IL $40 acres of oats raised dur
ing the same year in this section
which made an average of 81
bushels to the acre or a total of
628,560 bushels. At 40 cents per
bushel it would have brought $751;
24O- These figures show that there
a total of SO 1860 acres in
wheat, oats and barley during the
year 1907 producing 1902, 40
bushels of grain and at the market
If all of it had been sold, it
would have brought the enormous
sum of 81, 100, 900, and this does
not include all of the Nezperce
prairie. Thus it is easily seen what
a great difference to the entire
even one, cent per bushel on {
all the grain would make. This is I
me of the great works the Farmers c
has taken up and they are ?
a good success of it. If they Il
ontine along the line they are now a
7orking they will be able to save "
his prairie many thousands of d
ollars annually. In addition to
ne amount of grain raised there was
good crop of apples and other
lnds of fruit, potatoes and hay. g
his is also a good stock country
I'd there are thousands of dollars
'rth of hogs, cattle and horses sold
inually from Nezperce prairie. tits

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
THE FORWARD PASS PLAY

New york. jan. ,25.-Important
changes In the rule governing the for
ward pass play. which will prove OF
advantage to weaker teams and otner
football legislation were made BY the
intercollegiate Football Rules Commit
tea. which concluded Its session here
tonight.
The new rule on the play Of forward
pass covers particularly the Illegal
touching Of the ball. When Illegally
touched, the side making, the illeEal
play loses the ball to its. opponent on
the spot from which the pass was
made.
According to the new rule. only the
man of the passers' side who frt le-
gaIly touches the ball may thereafter
recover Il until It has been touched
by an opponent. II the forward pass
Is legally touched and then free. and
IL then Touched by another player OF
the passer's side, the ball goes to the
opponents at the spot where touched
The committee considered the ques-
tion OF defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass, and Il was de-
cided that while the forward pass is
In the air. the players Of the defensive
side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push them
out OF the way to get at the ball. In
order to eliminate holding and tacklinE
lt is provided that the players OF the
side making the forward pass who are
eligible to receive the pass, may use
their hands and arms just in the same
way that players go down under the
kick.
A new rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves Of the
game fifteen minutes. A delay Of two
minutes beyond that time gives the
BAH to the team on the field which may
then place the ball on the thirty-yard
line of the offending eleven. Another
rule adopted provides that all forfeited
games hereafter ares to score as one
to nothing. The committee passed 3
rule that all penalties except in the
case Of q man disqualified may be de-
clined by the offended side. In the
future. the field Judge win act as timer
insetad Of lineman.
After voting that the central board
of officials cooperate with similar

REDUCTION IN HOURS

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 25.-The reduction
Of working hours of Union Pacific
shop men which began last Monday, is
to be followed after today with re-
duetion Of working days from six to
i've per week. 49,
Mr.. Mohler admitted to the Associa-
ted Press that beginning Monday there
would be a great reduction in hours
OF employees In the mechanical depart
ment of the Union Pacific. He said
there was no political Significance to
this reduction. declaring Il was the
result only OF reduced traffic. He stat
ed that Mr.. Hartman had never given
him any political Instructions. but adj
nljtEed Il was his personal belief that
President Roosevelt and no other per-
son was the cause OF the present re-
duction in railroad traffic. He dictated
statement regarding the result Of
the reduction printed In . local paper
as follows: SO
II was called up by telephone At a
late hour in the evening relative to a
rumored reduction In the force OF men
employed in the mechanical depart
ments Of our road and Inquiries made
which to me appeared rather In
that the conversation was OF an indi-
vfdual and not ofEicia1 character.
'Tha reduction In force il only
made to meet the same percentage of
reduction In traffic and dealing direct
~, as we are, with this large body
Of men, and realizing the suffering
that eusues, and having been through
similar experiences In previous years,
II is mot pleasant task to perform.
II have received no instructions from
Mr.. Hartman either directly or indi-
rectiy since my connection with the
linton Pacific Railroad"
Mr.. Mohler stated that there are
about $4,000 men employed in the me-
chanical departments at present. but
admitted that the past four months
had witnessed q reduction in force of
about 5000 men which is greatly In
excess OF the number usually dis
charged at this season.
