Alaskan Wheat A mature Fake"

Last week we published an article
from the Salt Lake Telegram describing
wonderful kind of VIII eat that yields
over 200 bushels to the acre. The
kilograms article was based upon an
article published in the Saturday Eve
Ming Post.
According to the following dispatch
from Topeka, Kansas, the article was a
fake of the rankest kind. Following is
the dispatch:
The wheat exploited in the current
issue of the Saturday Evening Post as
producing more than 200 bushels an
acre is nothing more than what is
kao Hn as the Egyptian, seven headed
or mummy wheat, according to the
Information given out by the Colorado
experiment station and published in the
Kansas Farmer Friday.
Tie wheat is a soft spring wheat and
is undesirable for milling, says the
Farmer, and it is not good crop where
ever there is any wind. rs the grain
blows out of the head very easily. The
Kansas Farmer was one of the papers
t. which the same article that appears
! in the Post was sent, and turned down
as 4 nature fake"
TIE wheat is being offered at $500
pound, or $500 o bushel and the
Farmer warns its readers not to be
TAKEN in by the story. Prof. A. M.
Ten syck of the Kansas Agricultural
college experiment station asked for
some of the wheat to be used on the
exp .riment station farm, but it was
refused saying that further expert
melts were not necessary, as the
worth of the wheat had already been
proved.
When Secretary Coburn was shown
thu rticle in the Post, he said:
Without seeing it with my own eyes
I could scarcely believe the Post had
PR ed that wheat article. Nothing
m ". preposterous, of an agricultural
s)r., mas ever appeared in print"

A Maniac'S Awful Deed.

A Rawhide dispatch of the Goth says
that while at work in the face of a
three-foot vein of ore at the bottom
of the Grutt Hill Coalition lease at
Rawhide yesterday afternoon, John
Ross, formely of Los Angeles, was
blown to atoms by the explosion of Il
stick of dynamite thrown down upon
him by his partner, William Risdon
Risdon had lost his mind and in his
delrium believed he owned the mine
and was intent upon securing it fer
himself. With the craftiness of q
maniac, he waited until Ross descended
into the shaft, when he attached Il
cap and fuse to the explosive, lighted
the deadly missile and hurled it down
upon his unsuspecting victim. Ross
was blown to atoms. RisdOn fed from
the scene and is now in the mountains,
chased by posse: 81.

THE SUNSHINE" NEWS

The st. Louis and Pittsburg Sun
shine clubs must have missed connec
tions somehow. Their tales of pros
perity do not seem to bear inspection ut
close range. John II. Milroy of Jersey
City writes to the New York Post that
Nine weeks ago lost my place in
thc business Office of an iron company
on account of dull. times and about
two weeks ago, after searching in vain
here for work. ! went to Pittsburg to
look for work | was led To make the
trip by newspaper dispatch which said
that 10000 men had been put back to
work. / thought that if this was true
| would surely be able to get II place.
When got to Pittsburg | found the
newspaper report to have been abso-
lutely untrue. There are thousands of
men ont of work in PittSburg. and I
was told at two factories when [ aD-
piled for work and made inquiry about
the calling back of the worllmen that it
made people feel better to have the

not afford to spend. | am back here
and still out of work. If the news
papers would print the truth | think it
would he better, or at least if they
cannot set forth the real situation they
might better remain silent"
For the benefit of others who NAV he
ticceivcd like Mr.. Milroy was it is
necessary to sty that the stories rmanat
ing from Pittsburg and other centers
about resumption of work by factorie,
ere much exaggerated. There has been
Il slight improvement in some lines of
