DISPLACED Rails Cause Wrecks.

Dcnver.-Eight persons were in
jured, none of them seriously, when
three coaches of the Denver & Rio
Grande passenger train No. 6, the San
Francisco Chicago Limited, due in
Denver at 10 p. m, went in the ditch
half mile west of Sedalia at 1880
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The wreck was caused by the dis
placement of the rails as a result of
the expansion from the severe heat
Ten hours later the engine and two
coaches of Colorado Midland train No
II, due in Denver at 1890 p. m, were
derailed at Mississippi avenue, pre-
sumably from the same cause. No
one was injured in the lattcr wreck,
and but little damage was done to the
cars.
The wrecked D. G r. G. train was
In charge of Conductor D. d. Herring
ton and Engineer Frank Hocken-
berger. 1t consisted of ten coaches,
all heavily loaded The train was run
ming about twenty miles an hour when
It struck the twisted rails. The en-
CINE and first seven cars passed over
safely, but the diner and two Pull
mans jumped the track and turned
over into the ditch, one of the Pull
mans falling flat upon its side and the
other Pullman and the diner stopping
at an angle of about forty-five degrees.

Fiqht On Pixies Peak.

Colorado Springs. - Three men
fought battle almost to the death on
Pixies Peak, $4,000 feet above sea
level, in the lone summit house, at an
early hour Sunday morning, with only
the blear light of small kerosene
lamp to illumine their struggles as
they grappled In the shadows, first
one down and then the other, until
one received knockout blow and lay
unconscious.
Howard Robinson, manager OF the
Summit house, is in the hospital, and
the other two, George Shipley and
John A. Clarke, both Chicagoans, are
in the county jail.
Shipley Is in the hospital ward OF
the Jail, by order of the county physi-
clan, DIR. Edward Louis McKinnie, who
attended him, and Clarke, who Jared
better than his companion, is also re-
ceiving medical attention at the Jail.
The fight started over simple mat
ter. Shipley and Clarke, according to
their story, walked up the peak, ar
irving at the Summit house shortly
after o'clock Sunday morning.
Rapping at the door of the Summit
house they aroused Robinson and the
quarrel arose over the question OF
their admission.

IN POLAR STORM
ONE OF WALTER WELLMAN'S
AIDES PeRlSHES IN ICE PACK
CREVASSE.
HOUSE TO Be REBUILT
EXPLORER MEANS TO CONTINUE
UNTIL HIS QUEST is Sue
CESSFUL.

Tromsoe, Norway. - The steamer
Arctic of Walter Wellman's North
pole expedition arrived here Sunday
from Spitzbergen with her flags at
half mast, bringing the news that
knud Johnson, one of the two men
who remained at the Wellman camp
this winter, had perished in the pack
Ice and that the airship had been de-
stroyed by heavy storm.
On May 18th Johnson went with his
fellow watchman, Paul Bjoervig, on
hunting expedition over the pack ice.
The ice was moving and Johnson fell
through n crevasse into the sea. Bjoer-
Wig held out a long stick for Johnson
to grasp, but he was unconscious.
Bjoervig then ran back to camp and
secured a rope, but when he returned
Johnson's body had disappeared.
A strong gale from the southwest
sprang up on Christmas day and lasted
for eight days. Bjoervig, who has
passed many winters in Spitzbergen,
and has been with Wellman on every
Arctic expedition since 1894, says he
had never seen such fierce storm as
this. 1t reached its climax on the
night of December 26th, when it en-
tirely destroyed the airship shed.
Anticipating the possibility that the
airship house might be destroyed, Wal
ter Wellman had sent by the Arctic
timber and repairing materials. Ar
thur Wellman, who is now in COM
mand at the camp. reports the work OF
rebuilding the house already has be-
gun.
If it is found impossible to make the
voyage northward this summer, Well
man declares he will continue as long
as it is necessary to attain success.

made from this variety possesses high
bread making qualities.
White hulless barley is the earliest
ripening of all the spring grains test
ed. This grain, which is in demand
for feeding purposes and for the man
ufacture of certain cereal food prod
ucts, usually commands good mar
ket price. 1t is one of the good dry
land spring grains. The California
barley, which yields higher number
of bushels than the White Hulless, is
in reality better yielder, weighing
but As pounds to the bushel as con-

White Hulless.
Three varieties of spring wheat have
been tested. The Kunbanka, Mac

ing activities have been greatly de-
veloped is the question of what crops
to plant. Because of the peculiar
crop growing conditions prevailing. it
is evident that the farm crops common
ly grown in irrigated or humid Sec
tions will not all be equally we'll adapt
ed to produce returns on the dry
farm.
In order that crop may be adapted
to dry land culture it must possess
certain characters. Some of these
which seem essential are strong early
growth, a comparatively strong deep
roofing system and early maturity.
These characters are of value in as
sisting the crop to progress rapidly
during May and June when rains are
frequent and the weather is somewhat
cool so that maturity may be reached
before the hot days of the summer
set in.
Among all varieties grown so far the
Turkey Red is the highest yielder.
The average for all years at the diff
ferent farms is 1851 bushels per acre.
At the Rosebud county sub-station the
yield of one plot of Turkey Red was
5S.17 bushels. In addition to its

best yielder amongst the forage crops

er and If cut in proper condition gives
good yield of high quality hay. The
Tall Oat grass yielded slightly less
than the Bronze, but shows promise
of satisfactory returns.
Alfalfa yields from two stations are
reported at this time. The best yield
is slightly over one and one-quarter
tons. while the other yield is less
than three-quarters of ton. We do
not think our readers ought to con.
slider these yields as representing al.
falfa forage possibilities on the dry
farms. From observations on the sub.
stations, as well as in other parts of
the northwest, we find that alfalfa is
one of the most satisfactory dry land
forage crops The crop is some,

good annual hay yields for many
years.
On two of the farms corn was plant
ed and harvested as fodder crop.

DRY FARMING EXPERIMENTS
ON NON-IRRIGATED LAND
Investigations to Whether Profitable

N1ontana.-By Alfred

Investigations to determine some of
the farming possibilities of the non
irrigated level lands of Montana were
started during the spring of 1905.
The aim in taking up this line of
experimentation was not to test all
Of the different crops and soil culture
methods that might be proposed, but
rather by usirg few of the most
promising crops handled in the best
known manner, to determine if crop
returns were possible on the non-ir-
rigated lands of Montana. This ac-
counts for the fact that results are
reported along but few lines at this
time. These few results, however
furnish an answer to the general ques-
tion by indicating that profitable crops
can be raised on the level lands of
Montana without the aid of irrigation.

farmer must answer before his farm

Cousin McDooble's natural history
knowledge came to his aid. for the
memory of the East Indian mongoose
returned to his mind. He knew that
the mongoose is kept as pet by many
Hindoos to kill serpents, and that very
minute he decided that the best thing
he could do was to be a mongoose. So
he did
The only thing that troubled him
was that he didn't know what a mon
goose looked like or how 1t acted or
what kind OF noise 1t made. He
couldn't, to save his life, remember
whether it was bird or beast. but
he was pretty sure it wasn't a fish.
A fish wouldn't be much good at rum
ming around house chasing snakes.
But Cousin Orone McDooble did the
best he could, and it worked pretty
well, for a garden-hose isn't particu-
lar what kind of noise an imitation
mongoose makes, just SO 1t makes
good loud noise. So Cousin Orone
McDooble got down on his hands and
knees and made noise like mon
goose. 1t was something like a dog
and something like hyena. And every
teeth and jumped at the garden-hose.
The garden-hose Just hung there as
silent and still as the grave and glared
him in the eye! And the more it
glared the madder Cousin Mongoose
McDooble got. He fairly bounced
around under the garden-hose on his
hands and knees, snarling and snap
ping, and all at once he jumped right
up and bit the garden-hose in the
neck! And the garden-hose bit
back!
That almost settled Cousin Orone
Mongoose, for all at once he remem-
bered something he had forgot, which
was that the mongoose, before fear
lessly attacking a serpent, neutralizes
the poison by eating the Ophiorhiza
Mungos. and he had forgotten to
eat any So he dashed away and bit
piece off rhubarb plant, and then
dashed back and bit the garden-hose,
and he kept 1t up until on one round
trip the spigot of the nozzle caught In
his pocket and as he ran the garden
hose leaped out of the tree and went
leaping after him. My, but Cousin
Orone McDooble was scared He
jumped TlSul lHlO lne THuDdTD pdlCu
and ate three whole plants before he
was sure he had eaten enough poison
antidote, but once he was sure he was
no more afraid of that garden hose
than l would be. He lay right down
fiat and seized it by the nozzle, and
wrapped his legs around 1t, and
chewed it, growing like pup with a
slippery bone.
1t was a struggle for life or death.
and Cousin Orone McDooble chewed
IS feet of that rubber garden.hose be-
fore he was sure it was dead, but when
he was sure it was dead he was the
| happiest mongoose that ever killed a
garden-hose. He got up on his hands
and knees and capered around the
yard uttering short, sharp barks of joy,
and then, not feeling sure that all the
serpents in BetZville were dead, and
that he ought to protect his poultry at
all hazards, he went into the hen house
and went to sleep.
And the next morning he couldn't
remember for the life of him whether
| he was rooster or a mongoose, and
| he might never have had the heart to
come out of the hen house If he hadn't
thought of compromising. So he
barked like a mongoose three times
and crowed twice, and let 1t go at that.

Useful Hints on Bees.

Good rules to follow at all times are
these: Don't place youI bees in posi-
tions that would be intolerable to
yourself Too much disturbance to
ones colonies is ruinous to their fu-
ture prospects. If colony is doing
well, let it alone.
Bees are almost human in many
things. They have the same tenden-
cy to pilfer. just as apt to do
neighbor, eager for stores, etc.
Shape your daily work in the apiary
so that, when you quit for the season,
your mees will be ready for winter.
A new swarm is totally inoffensive
for several days after hiving. To
smoke such a colony during wax Sc
cretion is cruel. To manipulate eX-
tensively new swarm is the height
of folly.

My Cousin Orone McDooble Of Betz-
last Wednesday night, and he might
be dead now, If it hadn't been for his
quickness of mind. and his knowledge
of natural history. My Cousin Orone
had been spending few hours at Slug
Wilson's Palace bar in this village, and
about one o'clock in the morning he
started for home, and something in
the sort Of sinuous way he was wan
dering up the street made him think of
snakes. Perhaps he had had snakes in
mind before that; | don't know. Any
way, when he reached home he had
his mind pretty full of snakes and eels
and lizards and reptiles and serpents
generally, and was feeling mighty wor-
ried about them. and thinking that
something ought to be done about 1t
for the good Of the public, and just
then he heard his chickens squawking
in the hen house, and it came to his
mind that there might be beacon
strictor or a python eating his best
poultry that very minute. So he start
ed down the side path to his hen house
on run.
Just as he got halfway there and
was passing under the apple tree at
full trot, a great big serpent swung
down out of the tree and darted at
him 1t missed his face by an inch.
but its long cold body struck him
across the cheek, and Cousin Orone
McDooble fell like shot.
The next morning he found that it
was only the rubber garden hose,
which his wife had draped over the
limb to dry, but he didn't have the
slightest suspicion of it as he lay un-
der the tree, and he had a right to
be scared. Anybody would be scared
to have a slithy garden hose swinging
just above his head that way, ready
any minute to drop down and bite.
Nothing is SO venomous as the bite
of a garden-hose at one O'Clock in the
morning.
Then suddenly cold chill passed
over him. He realized that the gar
den-hose was trying to fascinate him
with its glittering eye, as serpents al
ways fascinate birds they mean to de-
YOUR in a minute or two. He tried to
take his eyes away, and he couldn't;
and he tried to futter his wings, and
he couldn't; and so he just uttered a
couple of mournful little ,chirps and
peeps and kept gazing at the cruel noz-
zle of the garden-hose. and hoped death
would be painless when the garden
hose swallowed him. But he couldn't
bear it.. 1t got on his nerves. He
wept when he thought that he was
nothing but a poor little sparrow so
near his doom, and when he saw he
didn't have the slightest chance against
the willy serpent he thought he'd bet
ter be an ostrich, rather than a spar
row, for he would have better chance
in fight for life. So he squawked
as near like an ostrich as he could,
and stuck his head in water pail
that was handy, as ostriches always
hide their heads when danger threat
ems. Every little while he peeked out
to see if the serpent had gone away,
but it hadn't. There it hung with its
glittering eye on him every time.
If it hadn't been for Cousin Orone
McDoobles knowledge of natural his
tory he would have been devoured by
the garden-hose long before that, but
knowing about ostriches, and turning
into one, had postponed his death, be-
cause garden-hose has to swell up
considerably before it can swallow an
ostrich. And just then was when
