MT. Cowgirl

general information. MT. Cowgirl
 proposes to keep record of every
 thing notable that the farmers of the
 valley do, providing they report the
 facts to him. Especially will he keep
 tab on the crops in season, the date
 of the first marketing. etc. and for
 this purpose he has secured a big
 diary. For instance the May 26 page announces that T. B. Pullins has brought in the first watermelon this season and that it is of the 'Kleckly
 weet' variety. It is not a large mel
 on, but it is big enough to eat, is
 thoroughly ripe and pretty fair sort of a melon. MT. Pullins has quite
 number of melons that are larger
 than the one shown. but they do not seem to be ripe yet. F. Barr has the record for early dewberries and Hall
 Bros are credited with some fine
 ones on the 25th. also some early
 peaches There are also records of
 large grain and early grain, etc, etc. and when the ambitious farmers get
 busy next year they can turn to this
 book and see what they have to beat.
 Speaking of grain records, those
 eight-foot oats from Chaplain Scotts
 ranch seem due to hold first place
 for this year, but s. C.. Rogers has
 brought bunch vof oat heads to the
 board that must take the prize for length of head. They are the Rus
 sian Sid variety, well filled out, and the longest headN measures an even twenty four inches. The entire stalk
 was six feet, one third \of it being given up to grain.
 c. c. Shoup makes his living writ ing shorthand, but he does little farming on the side just for fun, right here in town. He had an oi chicken yard which he plowed up and planted wheat on. He brought a head of the wheat to the board Of trade room that measures exactly twelve inches long and is well filled out. Doubters are invited to call and inspect it. It was grown under exceptional circumstances of course and had an abundance of water. If Mir Shoup could raise wheat like that 1 all over a farm he would go to ranching immediately. However. one can come nearer doing that in the Salt River valley than anywhere else on earth.

TAFTs STEAMER FIRED ON.

1t became known publicly yesterday
that the steamer Island Queen, which
last night conveyed Judge Taft and a
distinguished party, including the noti-
6cstion committee, up the Ohio river,
was fred upon by an unknown man on
q shanty boat moored on the Ohio side
of the river opposite Dayton, Ky.
Several shots from the spent charge
hit, but did not seriously iDjure, Ms.
Charles B. Russell, of Cincinnati, who
WAS standing with her husband near the
rail on the deck directly below where
Mr.. Taft Was at the time standing.
Very few of those on the steamer
knew Of the occurrence, aud Judge
Taft was not told.
The Island Queen had steamed slowly
around the bend, st Dayton, KY, and
was near the middle OF the river when
per.ons leaning on the lar osrd rail saw
q man emerge from the cabin of 8
shanty boat moored on the Ohio bank
and FIRE . shotgun. He was in his shir!
sleeves and wore q straw hat.
Mrs. Russell gave scream and said
she had been shot. She was hurried
into the cabin, where it was found she
was not seriously injured. One shot
had penetrated the skin over her left
eye, and another had struck her on the
chin.
The distance from the shore was so
great that the charge of shot had almost
spent itself when it reached the boat.
A large number of the psllets pierced
her dress. A young man standing by
Mrs. Re- 5selPs chair was also hit by one
Of the shot, but he WIS not hun.
The officers of the boat said they
would make an investigation to learn
the identity of the man who fred the
gun. @. B. Russell said today:
'T was standing at my wife's side, but
none of the shot struck me. 1t was
lucky we we're not clossr to the Ohio
shore. Itlw the msu plsinly, and al
