WILL INVESTIGATE
 DRY FARMING PROJECT

When the present executive com mittee took charge of the affairs of the Dry Farming congress the seere- tary was authorized, provided suffi- cient financial support could be se- cured, to place a field commissioner in the several dry farming states to investigate soil conditions, precipita- tiOns, evaporation, crop possibilities, the causes for success or failure, and whatever other matters of importance that might arise. during the year. This commissioner was to assume the duties of statistician.
 While the congress has made re- markable advancement during the past few months. the brief time elapsing between the third and fourth annual sessions has made it impossible to carry out all of the plans in mind, and the finances of the congress have not been in such condition that the governors have thought it advisable to employ a field commissioner under longtime contract.
 However, the governors temporarily secured the services of one of the most competent of the younger agro- pomists and soil men in the west, Prof F.. J. Iddings, who for many years has been a member of the fac ultv of the Colorado Agricultural col lsge.
 As a courtesy to the congress, Id dings was given a thirty-five day leave of absence from his official duties at Fort Collins, and at once started through New Mexico, Texas and Arizona with a commission to in vestipate conditions and to report to tb. congress the exact conditions as found
 Tddinqs is establishing a new work for the congress and in the brlei tme allotted will only be able tc study few of the most important points. but the board of governors believe that the practical results will establish beyond a doubt the value of general field work for the con gress.
 series of articles written by Commissioner Iddings will appear lat CT: statistical and other matters as sembIed during the trip will be glver to the congress in the form of re port to the fourth congress, and muef valuable information of a eonfidentla nature will be placed in the hands of the board in connection with the questionable districts in the states and territories visited.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Rolla Stewart Meets Serious Ac-
 cident.
(From Wednesdays Daily. )

Rolla Stewart, of Williamson val ley. is suffering from a serious wound in his arm, the result of an accident with a six-shooter He was lifting the weapon that was enclosed in a scabbard out of wagon and the gun fell from it. The hammer struck the wheel of the wagon and exploded. The bullet passed through his cloth ing, and in it's course creased the flesh on his stomach then going
 ,rough the right arm, near the wrist. No bones were broken but the main artery of the arm was narrowly miss ed. His body shows the effect of the confusion. Where the bullet passed a reddish ereasing is in evidence. In a few weeks he will be able to re sume his duties, it is believed. He was brought from Williamson valley by Harry Clark in the latter's auto, the trip being made in two hours.

LARGE AUTO MAKER FINDS
 HORSES ARE HANDY
(FrOn Fridays Daily.)


 "It's not the Ohio way" was the remark that Arthur L. Garford. the noted auto manufacturer. made last evening at the Hotel St. Michael, while conversing with friends after his return from the properties of the Verde River Mining company. ''I don t know what made the machine balk and kink itself up, except that the altitude of this section was too high and it possibly took the carbon out of the gasoline.''
 This influential citizen of the Buck eye state was one of the John Hays Hammond party that left the city Tuesday morning for Cherry Creek to examine the Pfau mining ground and having an affinity for the automobile, being .an extensive manufacturer of these vehicles, naturally selected this method of travelling to that point. His machine reached the Lynx Creek hill on a 8 per cent climb, and got under a good head of steam when something like the COOk-Peary con troversy wedged in and it was choked to a standstill.
 The mechanism was dissected by this manufacturer, who is conversant with such contrivanees, but it refus- ed to wiggle, and the party proceeded to await the coming of the relief ex- petition that was provided tor earlier in the day as matter of preeautiOn in the shape of a brace of sure foot ed animals and a blackboard wagon.
 When this arrived the party pro ceeded to Dewey, and joining the other members in vehicles they con tinued to their destination. Return ing they travelled back to the railroad station in the same manner and reach ed the city on schedule time by rail.
 MT. Garford stated he was pleased with the trip and enjoyed the mag nificent scenery along the route and was agreeably impressed with the re. sources of the country in mineral and agricultural possibilities. While leav- ing the party to retire for the night in answer to a question that was put by an advocate of the horse method of getting there on any and all Occa- siOns, MT. Garford whispered in the ear of Judge Parks, saying that he was modest about his own affairs in business way, and wished he would inform that gentleman that the dead engine on the hill is not a "Gar. ford' and he would wager his last penny on it.

TEAMS AND MEN COMING
 FOR THE PARKER WORK
(From Fridays Daily)


 Grading on the extension of the A. & c. from Parker to Bengal will com menee in about one week, IS the announcement that was made yes terday by E. J. Scott, of the firm of Scott. Smith & White, who reached the city yesterday from St. Louis. He says the work will be rushed and the purpose of the firm is to complete the grade by the first of next April.
 MT. Scott stated to a Journal-Miner representative last night that climatic conditions are excellent along the route of the road to be built, and he anticipates no delays whatever. Three hundred teams are en route to Parker from Texas, where his firm is finishing up a similar contract, and it is his intention to have all of his skilled white labor employed on the new contract.
 In addition to these q thousand In dians will be added after the Parker work is started.
 The firm of which Mir. Scott IS a member is one of the oldest and best known in the west, and have for many years been engaged in some of the heaviest road building contracts west of the Rockies.

SMASHED ALL SPEED REC
 oRDS HIKING FOR CAMP
(FrOm Fridays Daily.)

One of the John Hays Hammond party who was a guest in the mine examintion trip to Cherry Creek was Dr. C. l.. Lindley of Gloucester, Mass. When the mining engineers were engaged in their work of exploit ing the ground, several other mem bers took to the hills to hunt game.
 Forming one of those engaged in this pastime was the doctor. He had in years gone been a hunter in South Africa, and was accustomed to tle traits of wild animals, and soon after leaving the camp came upon fresh deer tracks He started to follow it and got about two miles away. He soon came upon his game and in zig tagging around for a favorable posi- tiOn to pull down on his meat he ran slap bang into some Apache Indians on the Verde reserve who also were after the same kind of meat and evi- dently the identical deer the doctor was trailing.
 There was no ceremony as to who was entitled to the privilege of get ting the meat, for it is said the pro fessional strides that were taken at once toward the camp indicated that there must have been some lively step ping and the distance between the foot prints on the ground indicated that a flying machine might have been the motive power for cOnsid- erable distance. Probably the doctor thought for the time in the excite ment of the chase that he was again in the land of the Matabeles. He did not slaeken speed, it is said, until he reached the camp where the Oth- CT members of the party were com fortably sheltered.
 The genial doctor last evening had no comment to make regarding his hunting experience.

The man upon my place was called

when most farmers are very busy and
was told that he could go to certain
