GREAT WEALTH
 IN WHEAT CROP

Minneapolis, July 3o.-The farmers of Minnesota, North and South Da- kota will get more than 00.000, 900 for the enormous crop now almost ready for the binders, based upon present prices. and there is nothing to indi- wheat between now and the harvest. This means that the farmers of these States will have more money to spend than ever in the history of the North west
 The figure is based on the crop res- innate by the Northwestern Miller today. This publication, considered the most trustworthy wheat crop au- thority in the country, places the to- taI> wheat acreage at 15,297, 900 in the three States and the yield at 235, ,000,0OO bushels the greatest wheat crop ever raised by these States. The estimates are based on report from more than 5000 resident agents. of Minneapolis elevator companies, covering every nook and corner of the wheat belt. Based upon the price of wheat today on the Minneapolis Chamber of Com merce, the crop is worth exactly $313,- 750 900, compared with $14S, ,750, ,O00, the value of the 1908 crop based on the prices a year ago.
 This means that the farmers will get $165, 100000 more this year for their wheat than last year, or an in crease of better than 100 per cent. on an acreage increase of only per cent. The estimated acreage and yield for the three States as compared with the actual acreage and yield of 1908, according to the Northwestern Miller, is follows: Minnesota, 5,731,- 900 acres, &. 1000. 900 bushels; North Da- kota, 6.571,000 acres, 1O4, ,0O0, 900 bushels; South Dakota, 3.195.000 acres, AS, 1000, 900 bushels.
 This year: Minnesota, 5,356,OO acres, 69. .O00, 900 bushels; North Dakota, B. sss 900 acres. 6s,0o0,OO0 bushels; South Dakota, 2,95S, 900 acres, 3S, ,OO0, 900 bush els. A total of 14,213,OO acres and 175,- COG, 900 bushels in 1908.
 In 1907 the total wheat crop of the three States was 155, ,oo0, 900 bushels. in 1906, 176, ,000, 900 bushels, in 1905, 192,- 100000 bushels. The prevailing price today is $1.25; the prevailing price a year ago was S5 cents.
 The value of all the gold mined in the United States, including Alaska was worth less than $100. 900, GOO in 1908 and was worth $89 900 ,000 in 1907. All the iron ore taken from the fa- nous mines of the Mesaba and Yer million ranges since their discovery L150 000, 900 tons in all, was worth only $120, ,000, 900 at the mines and all the iron ore mined in the entire country last year was not worth more than s1O0, ,OO0, 900.

ROWE DECIDES TO
 QUIT NEW HAVEN

New Haven, July 30.-With reference to the large purchase of real estate of Henry c. Rowe at Eastern Point on New London harbor. representatives of the press have been unable to secure an interview with him owing to his absence from town./
 It has, however, been ascertained that the firm of H. c. Rowe 6 Co.,, have been steadily removing their oys- ters from Connecticut waters to Rhode Island during the past three years, and 1t now appears that they have transferred at least three-Quarters of their oysters to Rhode Island waters, and have also purchased over 5000 acres of oyster ground in Suffolk coun- ty, New York.
 It is known that MT. Rowe has been searching the coast in eastern Connec- which would combine attractive resi- dential qualities with a central posi- tion with reference to his interests in the three states. New London harbor furnishes all these advantages, as it is midway between his interests in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and there is direct communication by steamer to Greenport and Sag Harbor twice a day.
 The tract of land which Mr. Rowe has purchased is we'll known by all familiar with Eastern Point and New London harbor. It has one-third of a mile of frontage on the finest harbor in New England, and it is of a com manding height, so as to furnish an unsurpassed view of not only the Thames river and valley. but of Long Island sound. Fishers Island sound and the Atlantic Ocean, also Plum Island, Gardiner's Island and Shelter Island.
 \ This tract is larger than any other possessing such qualities in the state, it having a water front equal to that of nearly the whole of the desirable part of Pine Orchard. which compari- son gives to those who are familiar with that beautiful shore resort a clear idea of its extent. 1 -5
 This purchase includes tract of land which 1t is reported MT. Morton F. Plant purposed to buy before he purchase his land on the other side of Eastern Point. The negotiations, however. were unsuccessful and the land has been again placed on the market-hepce MT. -Rowe's purchase of this and adjoining property.
 MT. Rowe's Orange street and Whit ney avenue property in New Haven and his Pine Orchard home have been placed on the market, showing his de- termination to give up his residence here.

RAILROAD SYSTEMS
CLAMOR FOR CREWS
LABOR FAMINE REPORTED BY
SUPERINTENDENT
Demand Is for Experienced Men, but
Others May Find Places Because
of Shortage in Operating
Departments

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 9,-Superin-
tendent E. c. Manson of the Salt Lake
division of the Southern Pacific, eX-
tending from Ogden to Sparks, New, In
an interview In an evening paper here,
reports a shortage of train crews for
the first time since the panic of 1907.
He says: Freight and passenger
traffic is very heavy over the Southern
Pacific, and is increasing every oay
as the season advances. 1t promises
to be a record year in this respect, but
we are well equipped to handle the
business, except that at present our
freight crews are rather overworked,
and we have been compelled to send
east for experienced men in that serv-
ice. They will arrive in a few days
and then additional crews will be put
on between Ogden and the various
freight districts extending to Sparks.
whenever we can pick up good
men here for freight service we give
them the preference, of course, but the
shortage in that direction has COM
PEELED US to reach back to Indiana for
men at this time.
Il understand the motive power de-
partment is short of men, also, and
those in charge are now sending east
for firemen. From this time on there
will be plenty of work for competent
railroad men of every description, and
men are what we want and must have
now"

ENJOYING LIFE AFTER
LONG SPELL OF SICKNESS

The theory of L. T. Cooper of Dayton
Ohio, who claims that the stomach is
responsible for most of the i'll health
of the present generation, and that it
is only necessary to treat that organ
in order to restore the body to normal
and remove such disorders as stomach
trouble, rheumatism, kidney and heart
trouble, etc, is amply borne out in the
statement of L. ]. Severt of Henrietta,
Texas. Mr.. Severt has recently tested
the Cooper medicine, which is now haV-
ing a large sale in Los Angeles, and
gives the following account of his eX-
perience:
For the past five years have been
troubled with pain in my head and
dizzy spells, which affected me to such
an extent that 1 was unable to per-
form my usual work 1 was subject to
terrible headaches, and when l would
arise from a stopping position l would
be seized with an attack of vertigo
everything seemed to be spinning
around, and l would nearly lose my
senses.
"I was also troubled with my stom-
ach-my food soured and fermented
and caused me great distress. 1 had
pains in my joints, also in my side and
my back ached almost constantly. l
became weak, run down and worn out.
l consulted several physicians, but
their treatment afforded me no relief.

Flood Sweeps Through West Denver,
Uprooting Trees, Surrounding

Railroad Service
tBy Associated Press.l

DENVER, Aug. 9.-Damage result
ing from the cloudbursts of Saturday
and Sunday afternoons, which sent
great walls of water roaring down Dry
creek, through West Denver, proves
more serious than at~first estimated,
and will probably reach $15O,OOO.
That no lives were lost Saturday
night, when wall of water fifteen rect
high rushed with express train speed
down the creek, was probably due TO
the GOODNESS and bravery of j. K. Gar
rem, a rancher, who saw the flood COM
ing, and who mounted his horse ana
galloped along the stream, shouting a
warning to the people living nearby.
Hundreds of people rushed for higher
ground, barely in time to escape the
torrent.
Considerable live stock was drowned
in the valley west of Denver, and a
number of farm buildings were swept
away.
Carried Away Baby's Coffin
The flood roared like tornado. Near
Twelfth avenue and Newton streets a
big steel railroad bridge was cut
squarely in two, big tree carried on
the crest of the flood tearing into the
bridge like a battering ram, and send
ing one section, ties, rails and ALL
hundred feet up the bank.
Three blocks of the tracks of the
Denver & Inter Mountain electric line
were torn up and the rails twisted as
If by fire.
When the flood struck West Denver
funeral services over the body of a
child were being held at the home of
]. Rudolphky The mass of water
crushed in the windows and, while the
inmates fought for places of safety
the little white coffin, with its con-
tents, floated away in the flood. 1t has
not been found.
A home not far distant was crushed
in by a section of railroad trestle, and
a mother and three children swept
awav. They lodged on the trestle and
were rescued.
Scores of cottages in the low lying
streets of west Denver were ruined by
mud and water.

AMERICA is NO PLACE FOR
BLONDES, SAYS SURGEON
Army Officer Sounds Note of Warning
to Americans of Light Complexion,
Forecastine Extinction

NEW YORK, Aug. "a startling
note of warning to blue-eyed. light
complexioned New Workers is uttered
by DIR. Charles e. Woodruff, surgeon
and major in the United States army
who has just completed a private tour
of the prisons and asylums of the city
and state. The jails and institutions,
he says, are full of blondes who, un-
able to stand the struggle for exist
ence in a climate to which they are
unified have fallen into poverty, dis
ease and crime.
What is true of New York, he says, is
true of the country as a whole, and
unless the blonde American finds or
adopts some better means of survival
than he has at present he will be
wiped out as a type in favor of the
brunette.
The great trouble is the sunshine.
There is too much of it in America
for the blondes. says Dr. Woodruff. It
breaks down their nervous systems,
renders them unstable, morally as well
as physically, and makes them pc
culiarly liable to the ravages of con-
sumption and other deadly ailments.

it through, and found statements from
others who had suffered in d manner
similar to myself, and who claimed to
have been greatly benefited through
the use of the Cooper medicine. I was
persuaded to give it trial, and bought
a bottle of the New Discovery prepara-
tion.
by the time I had used the first
bottle l was feeling like a different
man. The pain and dizziness In my
head ceased, and l was not troubled so
much with my joints, side and back.
My stomach did not distress me nearly
so much. my digestion seemed to be
greatly improved, and I gained much
in strength.
Il had been benefited so much by
this one bottle that 1 continued the
treatment. taking three bottles in all.
The result is that l am now enjoying
better health than l have in years. 1
am no longer troubled IN any way, and
feel strong and well. I am working
hard every day, have a splendid appe-
tite, and enjoy life.
"I cannot give too much praise to

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
PULLS STOCK MARKET DOWN
Sharp Decline in Price of Corn Has
Particularly Demoralizing Effect
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Speculators in
stocks expressed their disappointment
over the government crop report today
by selling their holdings quite freely
after it's appearance.
The sharp decline in condition of corn
was of especial effect, as hopes had
been raised high of a brilliant show
ing for that crop.
Some preparation was made to sell
stocks to realize profits even in the
event of expectations being realized
regarding the crop report.
The realization from top prices in
stocks ran from l to points in many
instances, and converted the earlier
grains into losses, which reached a
point in many stocks.

WOMAN WHO SHOT AT
CRAIG IS ARRAIGNED
BROTHER, ARMY OFFICER, IS
WITH ACCUSED
Trial Is Postponed in Order That
Captain Scott May Familiarize
Himself with Details of
Sisters Case

NEW YORK, Aug 9.-With her
brother, Capt. Henry Harrison Scott,
U. s. A, by her side, Mrs. Mary Scott
Castle, the woman from California
who last Tuesday at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel shot and slightly wounded
William B. Craig, lawyer, appeared
in court today for a preliminary ex-
animation.
Captain Scott, who reached here to-
day, championed his sister in the JEFF
ferson Market court when the case
was called.
Mrs. Castles attorney Immediately
| asked for and obtained an adjourn
ment of the examination until tomor-
row, on the ground that Captain Scott
had not had time to go over the situa-
| ton in detail with attorneys for the
! prisoner.
Mrs. Castles lawyer stated today that
arrangements had been made for her
release on bail before night.
Brother Meets Woman's Enemy
Mrs. Castle had intimated she might
have counter charge to make against
Craig when the case came up today,
but it was said for her that when she
appeared in court tomorrow it would,
in all probability, be only for the pur-
pose of formally waving examination.
There was a meeting between Craig
and Captain Scott in the corridor of
the courthouse after the adjournment
of the case today. but it failed to de-
velop any dramatic features.
Captain Scott had ignored Craig, but
the latter approached him and re-
quested a word with him. Captain
Scott acquiesced with apparent reluc-
tance and the two retired to a Sc
cluded corner, where they conversed
for several minutes, Craig gesticulating
excitedly. Then both left the court
house.

FURNACE MEN STRIKE AND
TIE UP BIG ZINC SHELTER
Demand Revival of Former Wage
Scale of Two Years Ago and
Are Refused

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 9.-The Pueblo
zinc smelter, one of the plants of the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany now remaining in this city, is
closed down as the result of strike
called at midnight last night by the
furnace men employed at the plant.
One hundred men struck last night
after being refused the wage scale of
two years ago, which was 25 cents a
day over the present scale.
During the night the plant was
guarded by a force of deputies to pre-
vent threatened depredations. Today
more than 500 men are idle because of
the strike of the furnace men, and the
plant is idle.

place has narrowed down to a fight
between San Francisco and Pueblo,
Colo, with Denver pledged to aid the
latter. Illinois probably will throw its
strength to San Francisco, and there
seems to be much sentiment for the
California city The consensus of
opinion seems to be that the congress
should be held west of the Missouri
river and in that event Chicago will
have little show. Among the smaller
cities favorably mentioned is El Paso.
The new constitution providing the
businesslike basis so much desired by
the congress was adopted without dis
sent today, and this afternoons session
was carried out under the new constitu-
ton.
Roosevelt Policies Questioned
The impending clash between the ma
tural resources preservation policies of
the Roosevelt administration and the
so-called private interests" got it's
first impetus when Mayor N, S. Pratt
of Spokane charged in his address that
private capital is being used to impede
the work of the government in it's
preservation and reclamation work.
1t was not expected that friction
would become apparent until Clifford
Pinchot could be heard from, it being
freely predicted that Mr.. Pinchot would
take occasion to defend the Roosevelt
policies and attack the opposition
policy of demanding that all possible
lands be thrown open for entry.
But when Mayor Pratt began his ad-
dress of welcome he swung directly
into an attack on 1.-The interests which
seek to overthrow the policy of preser-
vation."
Thus the long expected fight of
capital against the government" So
called has obtained the floor and now
bids fair to become the predominant
factor in the present congress.
Interest is now centered in the utter
ances expected from Clifford Pinchot
and Secretary Ballinger, who will speak
later in the week.
The following telegram was received
from President Taft during the morn
ing session:
'I greatly regret that I am not able
to be present and get the benefit of
your deliberations. l have the deepest
sympathy with the general object of the
National Irrigation congress, and you
can count on my earnest endeaVor TO
further the cause or reclamation by ir-
rigation in every part of the country.
