and in the neighborhood of 100
business men of the city, aside
from these city officials and others
mentioned, are members of it.
while the so-called exposure
made by Commissioner Tuerke is

VICTIM ROBBED

PAID

Scarcely had Joseph M. Lotion,
Wilmington, N. c., secured a set
tlemnet with the Spokane & Inland
Empire Railroad Co. for injuries
sustained in the wreck near Occur
d'Alene when his trouser pocket
wac cut out and the money stolen.
1t amounted to more than 5000.
Lotion hobbled into the police
station in pair carpet slippers
this morning to report the case to
the police. He said the robbery
was committed in the Mascot sa-
loon, Stevens and Sprague avenue,
while he sat at a table playing
cards last night. He secured a set
tlement amounting to nearly $500
from the railroad company only
yesterday, and though he admits
spending part of it lavishly. he
declares he was not intoxicated at
the time of the robbery.
The money was extracted
through cash cut in Lotions
days, then the skin begins to peels
pants from the outside, immedi-
ately over the side pocket. He says
he felt nothing and knew nothing
of his loss until he got up to go
home. He is left practically
stranded and unable to work as the
result of his misfortune. He is
seriously injured about the feet
and one arm.

PARAOES WILL
Be FEATURE

The big features of the irrigation
congress will be the two parades
the first the parade of progress
on next Tuesday afternoon and the
second the Illuminated parade on
Wednesday night
The parade of progress will give
an categorical representation of the
progress of the west from the days
of the Indians until the present
and will give types in the parade
from the different eras in the
march of progress. There will be
real Indians, cowboys and other
specimens of early day life on the
plains. A number of bands from
different places will be in line, as
the expense of such bands to and
from Spokane is guaranteed by the
irrigation board. The illuminated
parade will contain nearly all of
the features of the day parade,
with the adde charm of torchlight,
roman candle and other light eff
fects.

DOUBLING, EVEN TRIPPING, GRAINS OF WHEAT
ON A STALK AND TURNING THEM INTO GOLD

crops of western Iowa, where the
farmers always have been noted
for diversified farming. Alfalfa has
been added to the output and less
wheat and corn are being raised
there. Every farmer is keeping
account of his crops of alfalfa for
the college
THE reason why Iowa is such a
heavy producer in all kinds of
crops" said Prof. Crossley, sis be-
cause the soil has inexhaustible
fertility if proper rotation and care
is taken of it. Iowa leads the
world in oats and has been fight
ing nip and tuck with Illinois for
the top production of corn.
Ears of corn and grains of
wheat are great deal like ami
mails. Some are better than others
and some will produce better stock
than others. We have chosen the
best and by careful work have
proved that 60 bushels an acre can
be raised in this state.
The country's corn crop is of
such magnitude that people hardly
reaiZe it," and Professor Crossley
began to figure on a sheet of paper.
do you know" he said, that this
years corn crop-about 100000
GOO bushels-would fill a crib IS
feet wide, eight feet high and
reaching from New York to San
Francisco. Or it would make a
pile d mile square and ITS feet
high"
And so, as you wander through
this fairy land of wheat and corn
your secondary thoughts are on the
avalanche of gold that is pouring
into the western country every day,
and will continue to pour for
good two months yet.
It's the busiest time of the year
for the man in the city who has
money and makes a business of
getting more out of the nations
crops. just heard of one Chicago
bank that is shipping half million
dollars a day out to the harvest
country. Another big Chicago In
stitution has arranged for more
than $5,000,000 of currency in the
east, and it expects to send over
s40.900.000 TO the country before
the middle of of October.
A man who works out big strings
or figures says that for every
$4,000 pounds OF wheat that goes
into the city there will go back to
the farmer one pound Of gold.

WOMEN FALL INTO COAL MINE

PITTSBURG, Aug. 5.-Three wo-

berries on a farm about three miles
from Latrobe were rescued late in
the afternoon by farm hands after
having been buried in an aban-

with nest of huge snakes. Two
of the women became hysterical on
their release and are now in a seri-

The women are Mrs. Maggie
Maley, Mrs. Mary Sarfano and Mrs.
Florence Lacey. AS they invaded
an inviting field of berries the
earth suddenly yawned and swal-

out nearly two weeks ago from
Kanas with round trip ticket to

Well Guy, like many other poor

He has an uncle living around

1t was at first believed that the
blunder would necessitate a new
land drawing in the Occur d'Alene
reservation, as an unknown num-
Der of the Spokane blanks had al
ready been mailed to Superinten-
dent Witten of the land drawing,
but such will not be the case.
Persons registering for land in
the Occur d'Alene reservation
need not fear any inconvenience
as the result of this mixture of

Superintendent Elston here today.
I'VE have trace of mistakes of
this kind that have been made by
the people themselves In one or
two cases men carried Spokane
land registration blanks to Occur

While the blank itself called for
Spokane lands, it was placed in
yellow envelope, consequently will
be thrown in the Occur d'Alene
bunch for the drawing.
Not half the crowd is present

made hundreds of dollars for regis
trations at the % cents each rate.

bushels of wheat to the acre. Prof.
Crossley is preparing a $4,000 ex-
hibit for the Iowa State fair, which
shows how he expects to give the
farmers such remarkable wheat
yields.
In a 10 acre field near the big
college building there are a num-
Der of shocks, each protected
from birds and vermin by paper
cover. Each shock tells a new
story in the development of the
wheat crop of the country.
Prof. Crossley started with a
grain of wheat which was consid-
cred perfect by experts. The
grain was planted, and the result
ing grain carefully saved for the
next year. One hundred grains
were planted, 10 to a row, 10 rows
to the plat of experiment ground,
the year after, from this first
yield. The best of this grain was
replanted each successive season,
until now the 10 acre field shows
yields of from 40 to 65 bushels an
acre.
'We hardly dare tell the public
about this marvellous yield" said
Prof. Crossley, because even the
farmers won't believe it. Bus
down in Mahaska county | let a
farmer have a sack of our new
grain to use and his yield was
enormous, too"
The average grain of wheat will
produce 300 to 600 grains on the
stalk. So each time grain is
dropped In the soil at the college
here 1t means 600 times as much
good to other farmers as it meant
the first time Prof. Crossley began
to experiment. All the yield will be
distributed among farmers.
