No Danger FROM Cavlng.

A story has been printed in several
state papers that the. Southern Pa
cifc tunnel at Palisade was in danger
of caving through blasting operations
OH the Western Pacific alongside.
In speaking of the account to re-
preventative of the Silver State News,
one of the company's local engineers
said:
'The article in question is sue
cession, of misstatements. In the first
place. the tunnel is 200 yards long,
instead of 100, as stated. Then the
idea Of passenger hearing the grind
ing of the granite as the train passed
through is preposterous.
Ever since this tunnel has been
completed it has been occasionally re-
paired. At one time a portion of
the timbers were taken out and a
concrete bottom was laid. At present
the Southern Pacific company has a
small force of men at work repairing
of the formation through which
the tunnel is driven, which pushes the
side posts in. This happens at frequent
intervals. and we have experienced the
same difficulty in our adjacent tunnel.
We do not expect there will be any
permanent relief from this swelling I'M
til we line the bore with concrete.
There is little doubt but what our
blasting in the vicinity has shook things
up somewhat, but the idea that there
is any danger of the tunnel collapsing
is simply ridiculous"

A Wonderful Wheat Story

In the Saturday Evening Post of
August - is an article which, if true,
makes gold mine look like 30 cents.
The story, that an Idaho farmer-Mr.
Abraham Adams-went to Alaska in
1903; that he failed to find mine, but
did find on the shore of little cove a
II patch of wheat with m0nstrous heads.
Nearly i'll the heads had been rified by
birds, but he secured one, shelled the
wheat and brought it with him back to
his home in Julietta, Ida. In the fall
ct 1901 he planted the head of Alaska
wheat on high and almost too dry land.
From those few grains he harvested
seven pounds of wheat. The kernels
were four times the size of ordinary
wheat, and i'll color Il beautiful cream,
without spot. In the spring of 1906 he
planted the seven pounds. From this
he harvested 1915 pounds, equal to 222 bu.
to the acre. He then carried Il small
amount of it to the experiment station
ut Moscow to have it tested to see if if
contained the properties necessary to
make good bread. The chemists at the
station tested it and pronounced it a
good specimen of hard wheat. In the
fall of 1906 the l545 pounds were
planted side by side with the blue stem
and club wheat grown in that section.
Tie picked on the same day, heads of the
club, the blue stem and his Alaskan
wheat. the latter was so much larger
than either of the others that Mr..
Adams was jubilant. Then came u
great hailStorm which beat the club and
blue stem into the ground, so that it
could not be harvested, but part of the
Alaska wheat had stood off the storm,
and from it Mr.. Adams harvested ID, 600
pounds. Then hcIsent another batch to
the experiment station, and received a
report the facts of which were that the
wheat will grade No. and will prob
ably rank with the best grade club or
blue stem wheat; that it has "a higher
protein content" (brcadmaking capac-
ity), and the final belief of the chemist
that the wheat is equal to the best Mr..
Adams sent heads of the wheat TO
friends in other states. and some excel
the Idaho product. In Alabama q head
was planted December 81, was up Junu-
AIRY 80 waist high April (, with leaves
cighths of an inch broad. and
was harvested July :. That head
yielded the same as Mr.. Adams head
that nc brought from Alaska.
What wonder all that awakcns.
1t grows alike whether planted in
the spring or fall: it stands off ordinary

Miller Stays Until
Seasons End

Instead of going east. as previously
planned. with the Williams stable
when Dr. Rowell. leaves for New York
q bout the middle of May with Fire
stone, Perjuicio and others of the Will
liams string. Jockey Walter Miller will
remain here to the end of the local
racing season in the early part of June.
President Williams, the guiding spirit
in the affairs of the New California
jockey club, to whom the boy is un-
der contract, conceives it to be his
duty to retain Miller here to the end
of the season. in view of the existing
dearth of good riding material at the
local track. BY the time Miller reaches
the east DIR. Rowell will have had time
to get the Williams horses acclimated
and conditioned for immediate racing.
Miller, IL is reported, was at first in
clined to be bit disgruntled over the
postponement of his departure for the
east, as he had been looking forward
to an earlier return to his home at
Sheepshead Bay. but President Williams
has treated him SO handsomely that he
has finally accepted the situation
gracefully.
