Sterling. O., Oct. Ex-Governor Harris
Joined the special before 1t left Akron
this morning to participate in the meet
ings until Grafton is reached at noon.
So great was the crowd at Barberton,
the first stop of the day that Mr.. Taft
had to make two speeches, one to a
part of his audience after which the
train was moved up and he then ad-
dressed those who could not see or
hear him make his first address.
Wadsworth produced another big au-
dience which cheered for both Taft and
Harris. At both places, as we'll as at
this the third meeting Of the day
which also was a large one. Mr.. Taft
talked of the tariff and of labor con-
ditions. He spoke of the beautiful Oc-
gave him to campaign under all the IA
Vorable circumstances which presented
themselves in his home state. His
voice was again in excellent condition.
The first casualty to the Taft special
in all it's travels occurred this morning
as the train pulled onto a siding at
this place. The front truck of Judge
Taft's car and the rear truck of a
Pullman just ahead of it left the
track The train was coming to
stop and the car of the candidate did
not move a length after the accident.
one of the journals of the truck was
cracked, but was pronounced to be
safe. The delay on account of the
derailment was just 80 minutes, but
this added to the time which had been
previously lost put the special an hour
behind in leaving Sterling. The cause
of the accident was a spreading rail
of the tracks on which the special was
moving from its transfer from the Erie
to the Baltimore & Ohio road. Mr..
Taft made his speech to the people Of
Sterling while the railroad men were
putting his car on the track.

Thousands of Millions of Dollars

Claimed That State Legislatures

Topeka Represented at Pitts

There never was a like period in the
history of railroad development of this
country than demanded the enormous
expenditures that are found necessary
to provide the most urgent transporta-
ton facilities, as exists today in the
case of the big systems of the west.
Money-millions of money-and hun
dreds of millions measured by the
standard of a dollar. is the crying need
of the artery-lilke transportation sys-
TENS that traverse the Empire of the

the west at the present day that sur

Will come the era of manufacturing
and in this it is impossible to prophesy
the future. A glance at the brief his

forms the keynote of what may be ac

years. There are opportunities, in this
land of opportunity, that attract and
justify the expenditure of hundreds OF
millions to meet the growing needs or

road builder in the world in her day,
and the supreme commercial power.

and made possible the development of

the construction of roads to develop its

From 1850 to 1900. the last year for
which figures are available, the number
of acres in improved farm lands in the
United States increased from 113, 000, 900

At the meeting of the Western

many conflicting considerations The

TO RESUME WORK ON OIL WELL
J. ID. Fogarty, Ellensburg, Says Grew
VIII Be Hired Soon.

Ellensburg. Wash, July 16.-J. d.
Fogarty, trustee and stockholder in
the Kittitas Oil & Gas company, said
yesterday that after canvass of the
stockholders of the company, he
could say that within 40 days work
on the oil well already begun by the
company would be resumed and car
ried to completion.
The well was begun two years ago,
but work was stopped because of a
series of suits, which have recently
been decided in favor Of men inter-
ested in the company The well is
now $50 feet deep and the presence
of both oil and gas has been demon
strated.
Expert oil men have looked at the
wel," said Mr.. Fogarty, "and all who
have seen it have said that without
doubt oil can be produced in this Sec
tion. The results to Ellensburg of the
discovery, or rather of the actual pro-
duction of oil can hardly be overesti-
mated. The well is situated on a 10
acre tract, three and a half miles
south of Ellensburg."

WALKERS IN CHEYENNE.
Seattle Pedestrians on Last Lap OF
Long Walk.

r. F. Hay and William Jackson,
two young Scotch-Americans from
Seattle, are in the city today on the
last lap of a six thousand mile walk
between Seattle and Chicago, which
they are under a wager to complete
in 100 walking days, says the Chey-
enne Tribune. They rest every Sun
day.
The conditions of their walk are
that they must take dog with them
and may accept no rides of any sort.
They are accompanied by a big st.
Bernard which was given them by
the Mayor of Kansas City, and which
is the fourth dog they have had. Car

than any of his predecessors, as he
is so lazy that he spends no time in

visited. They are interesting takers

Puzzled About HAY,

S. G. Moore, erstwhile hay king OF
the Naches, thinks the hay situation
this year is a mighty uneasy one and
rather apprehends 1t a good thing to
keep ones hands off, says the Yakl-
ma Republic. He says he can figure
out good reasons why hay should
bring a strong price later on but he
can also figure out many reasons why
1t should not and one of the big rea-
sons which make all reasoning faul-
ty Is one he terms "Taft andBryan."
Those two. he says, have more to do
with hay than many imagine. Mr..
Moore says that while there has been
said great deal about hay being a
partial crop this year he knows of q
great many hay growers who are cut
ting more per acre than they have for
a considerable time. He thinks, in
a general way, the crop will be much
larger than is anticipated. He thinks
also that the question of the home
and the Seattle consumption is prob
lematical while the export business is
classed as a steady thing.
From the ease with which he can
buy baled hay at low figure right
now Mr.. Moore believes there must be

three men pass. They were carrying
a bundle and walked in the direction
of Watts court, where the bomb later
exploded.
The boy did not see the men enter
the building as an express wagon shut
off his view, but a moment later he
heard the crash of the explosion, the

we're to make up the crowd. 1t was in

speaker. His talk on storage end appli-
cation of water was very interesting,
and was interspersed with humorous
stories and illustrations which were
greatly appreciated and enjoyed by his
hearers. He was followed by Dr. 1. E.
Newsom, associate professor Of veterin-
ary scieace, who spoke regarding the
value OF cleanliness around the farm
yard, which was much appreciated by
the farmers present. He also had some
very interesting exhibits which he had
collected in the course OF his work and
which were passed around for inspec-
ton.
E. j. Iddings, assistant to the dean Of
agriculture, gave description OF the
different departments and the facilities
Of the college for instructing the many
