The LarInsre Farmers Club.

The farmers and business
men of Larimore have a club
organization that meets every
week during the winter months.
The purpose of this club is the
study of farm tnpics and all
problems that pertain to the
betterment Of the farm home.
Supt. Hess of the city schools
acts as leader. Out of town
speakers are secured from time
to time. On February 15
Prof. w. C. Palmer, Of the de-
partment of college extension.
agricultural college, addressed
the club on subject of Glover
Growing and Crop Rotation. !"
Mr.. Palmer stated that
clover can be, and is being
grown with success in many
parts Of the state. We said it
is necessary to have clover
germs in. the soil, that failures
are in very many cases due to
the absence of these germs.
The best way to supply them
is to get soil from a field that
has grown clover successfully
and SOW this soil over the field
seeded to clover. The inoculated
soil should be applied at the
rate Of 100 to 200 pounds per
acre; and thoroughly narrowed
in. Clover should always be
seeded on fall blowing well
worked up in the spring.
Barley makes the best nurse
crop, oats the poorest. In the
drier parts Of the state it does
best without a nurse crop. A
top dressing Of manure is al
ways beneficial in getting q
stand. On land that has never
produced clover it is good
idea to SOW an extra amount Of
seed, say fifteen pounds per
acre. Clover is one Of the best
land improving crops that can
be grown.
The Larimore club is a de-
cided success. It is creating a
large and lively interest in
agricultural matters at Lari,'
more and attracting not a little
comment from outside. The
agricultural college stands ready

RAILROAD VIOLATES
MUTUAL AGREEMENT
GRAND TRUNK TRIES
TO OPERATE ITS FREIGHTS
Compact With Strikers is Broken and
Latter are Indignant-Little Hope
of Arbitration Now-Officers of
Trainmen Confering.

Toronto. July 26.-Despite the fact
that strikers on the Grand Trunk and
officials have agreed to submit their
difference to arbitration, the officials
tried to operate freight trains today
and hope Of arbitration is now slight.
Presidents Garretson of the conduc-
tors and Lee of the trainmen, are here
to confer with Vice-Presidents Berry
and Murdock concerning the next
move of the strikers. 1t is understood
the question of diverting the Grand
Trunk freight to other lines will come
up. This will probably complicate
matters and there may be sympathet-
l. strikes on other roads called as a
result. The action of the company in
employing Pinkertons to guard the
yards after importing strike break
ers and promising to arbitrate is said
to have caused unionists to consider
withdrawing their agreement to ar
bitrate and fight instead.

Quebec, July 26. - The liner Lau-
rentia, with Inspector Dow of the
Scotland Yards aboard, is racing but
200 miles astern the steamer Mont
rose, on board of which is supposed to
be Doctor Hawley Crippen and Nine.
Leneve. 1t is believed Dow is in
wireless communication with the Of
ficers on the Montrose. 1t is calcu-
lated the Laurertia will pass the
Montrose Friday in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. At Rimouski Dow leaves
the steamer, where he will await the
arrival of the Montrose sunday.
That H. Crippen and his former
typist Ethel Clara Leneve. are aboard
the steamer Montrose is the firm con-
viction held by Scotland Yard. The
accumulating evidence points to the
certainty that they are aboard the
Montrose. Their movements have
been traced since they left London
most of the time being spent in Bel
GUM under the alias of Robinson, the
girl passing as Robinson's son. When
purchasing passage tickets at Ant
werp, Robinson particularly insisted
upon having a double berth cabin.
The London Express publishes a cir
cumstantial story of their arrest on
board the Montrose. on Friday the
couple were overheard discussing their
escape, according to the paper and
the captain of the steamer then COM
municated with Scotland Yard and on
Saturday decided to arrest the cou-
pie. Crippen was searched and de-
prived Of revolver and cartridges
and pen knife. He demanded to know
what offense he was charged with and
was informed that he had contraven-
ed the law by giving an assumed
and travelling with woman in the
guise of a boy, As he was unable to
prove that his name was Robinson or
that the woman was his wife he and
the girl were placed under arrest in
separate cabins and are being watch
ed night and day.

BIG TRAIN WRECK
NEAR BAKER CITY
- FREIGHT CARS LEAVE
TRACK IN NARROW GORGE
All Traffic Held Up and VIII BE "a
Hours Before Normal Schedule Is
Resumed-No One Injured-Cars
Piled Up in Mass of Debris.

With 90 freight cars wrecked and
piled un in a cut six miles east of Ba-
ker City. the main line of the o. r. &
y is blocked for traffic and will re-
main so for at least "a hours. Such
IS the substance of messages received
in Pendleton this morning.
Westbound freight train No. 55 was
nearing Norton station, five miles east
of Baker City, at 4:40 this morning,
when a broken flange on a loaded
coal car precipitated a wreck. Load
ed cars to the number of IS were
smashed to pieces or piled on top of
the other while four empties We're
converted into kindling wood. The
train was in charge of Conductor
Gibson and Engineer Fields. No one
was injured.
The wreck took place in a deep
cut and for that reason it IS impos-
sible to build a temporary track
around it and much difficulty will be
encountered in removing the debris.
1t is estimated that "a hours will be
required to open the track and as it
usually requires q longer period of
time than first estimated, 1t is prob
able that trains will not be running
regularly before tomorrow.
A wrecking train, accompanied by
superintendent Bollons, left La
Grande shortly after the accident,
while another wrecker has been or
dered to the scene from Nampa, Ida

No. TO- the eastbound fast mail, is
being held at La Grande, while No. 6,
the eastbound morning passenger has
been ordered to proceed to the scene
of the wreck where its passengers
will be Unanswered to No. 7 and No.
rs passengers will oe taken on and
brought west Another transfer of
passengers will probably be made to-
night between trains No. s and No.

HOME Of MRS. ALICE SHERIDAN
IS BADLY DAMAGED BY BLAZE

Mrs. Alice Sheridan of 400 East
Alta street, suffered a $4,000 fire loss
at | o'clock this morning. 1nsur-
ance to the amount Of $500 was COW
cred. Two policies, amounting to
$500 had been permitted TO expire
a few days before the fire.
The cause of the blaze has not been
ascertained and probably ever will
be. though the general Imposition
is that it was due to defective wiring
The fire originated in a room in the
attic, which, though furnished, had
not been used for some time.
This room is located Just above the
one occupied by Mrs. Sheridan on the
second floor Of the large double
house. About l o'clock she was
awakened by the cracking of the fire
but not being able to tell what was
causing the noise, she called 70 one Of
her roomers and persuaded him TO go
up to investigate. on opening the

BRYAN and His Fight.

Grand Island, Neb., July 26.-An
exciting time is expected today at the
state convention. When it convenes
w. J. Bryan will oppose Governor
and the regulars in an
endeavor to force the convention to ad-
opt county option plank in the plat
form. If the Bryanites are forced
to compromise they will insist that
the convention refer the matter to
the various legislative districts and
that the gubernatorial nominee will
be pledged to sign a county option
bill should such a measure pass the
legislature later. This will probably
satisfy Shalenberger but would fail
to please the mayor of Omaha, who
Is also a candidate for governor.

Michigan farmers have found new

The canned music machines are plac-

preciation. by an increased flow of

the venture will not tell what singers

Columbus, O., July 26.-Carryina
the well wishes of Colonel. Roosevelt
and President Taft, former Secretary
Garfield is ready to enter the fight
for the progressive platform in the
state republican convention which
meets this afternoon. The anti-Gar-
Held forces have conferred long, but
nave failed to agree on a concerted
movement. Senators Burton and Dick
II is admitted, have failed to agree.
This makes Garfeld's stand the more
commanding. Representative Long.
worth will make the keynote address.
Garfield has stated his attitude tow.
ard the administration that he does
not mean to fight with the white
house, and that his platform is not
an assault on the president. This has
helped him much.
The plank endorsing Taft, favored
by Garfield says: 1--WE reaffirm our
adherence to the great policies of the
last republican platform. We ex-
press confidence in the patriotism
and sincerity of President TAFT in his
efforts to fulfill his party pledges.
We endorse his action in obtaining
much that was promised and his loyal
support in his endeavor to carry for
ward these policies and make them
effective by proper legislative, and
administrative action" It is believed
that, unless delegates supporting the
regulars get together. the convention
will be stampeded for Garfield for
governor.

Toxic, July 26.-The great island of
Yezo (Hokkaido) is being shaken
by continual earthquakes and by a
tremendous eruption Of Mt. Usu in
the southern part of the island. Eight
thousand of the people are fleeing
inland to escape the rain of boiling
water and hot mud vomited from the
volcano. The great bay Of Usu which
is capable of sheltering the navies OF
the world has been made shallow
lake by upheavals in its bottom and
~ now only 20 feet deep. Warships
have been sent to the scene. Few de-
tails regarding the loss Of life and
property have been received. One
hundred and eighty four shocks have
been counted already. The govern
ment is preparing to rush supplies TO
the scene. The eruption started on
Friday.
The earthquakes started with the
eruptions, and grew steadily worse.
Saturday great riffs were torn in the
mountain and Sunday scores of fis-
sures opened in it's sides and boiling
mud rushed out, engulfing houses.
Later the mountain blew its head off,
and hurled n column of water and
white hot sand into the skies. The
vessels in the bay have moved appar-
emily some distance out. The explos-
Ion lifted the bottom of the bay and
forced the water inland. Ships were
sent ashore and scores were wrecked
on the beaches. Later reports say the
mountain is collapsing on all sides and
Il is believed 1t will be leveled.
No word has been received from
Hakodate although many efforts to
communicate with that seaport have
been made.
