SEED CORN TESTS DIFFER
Where Ears Are sOaked the Per-
CentaEe IL Strongly Against
Results,

CRESTON, Ia, March 5.-(Special.)-A
testing of seed corn was made here re-
Gently by P. G. Winters and Thomas
Maxwell for the farmers Of the county,
from corn brought in from different farms
about the county, and It was found that
only about one ear out of every thirty
five terminated. They also made a test
Of the 1908 crop, IN which the rate was
about 30 per cent good, The consensus of
opinion among the farmers seems to be
that neither crop Will pay to risk planting
from to any extent and many OF them are
preparing to buy tested corn to plant, where
they have not saved good seed from the
1908 crops.
Reports from over the state as regards
seed corn tests show hat in some local
tiles where the corn was gathered before
the freeze and allowed to dry out well
and that has been kept in a good dry place,
is testing out In some instances 80 per cent
or over, but the results are variable and
in many instances the corn is very poor
and will not pay for using at all.
There seems to be an alarming indiffer-
ence in some localities in regard to making
the tests, and will react on the farmers
to the amount OF millions Of dollars in this
years crops, unless they arouse themselves
to the Importance Of using good seed.

unanimously Friday afternoon that the

1t was agreed that there is difficulty in

conditions would be vast" said several Of
the physicians in chorus.

county hospital.

Loss WIN Exceed million
Dollars.

WELLINGTON, Wash, March 5.-Those
digging for bodies in the snowy tomb OF
the avalanche made little progress yester-
day and late this afternoon only forty dead
had been brought out, leaving forty-flve
passenger and railroad men. and an UNI
known number of lRborers In the gorge,
where two Great Northern trains were
buried Tuesday. The searchers are working
by day only. The total number OF dead
is estimated at lis.
The Great Northern railroad today sent
in fifteen Alaskan sledges, or which the
bodies will be taken to Skykomlsh.
Superintendent O'Nellrs private car, con-
tanning the bodies OF Trainmaster A. r.
Blackburn and Secretary Longcoy. was
found today.
OF 100 sacks Of mail carried away by the
avalanche. only 15O have been recovered.
There is no trace whatever Of one mail
car and seven clerks and weighers. In
some places cars are known to be under
seventy feet Of trees, snow, earth and
rocks.
Loss over Million.
TIL Great Northern is using all the
resources at its command to open the
track. Superintendent O'Neill estimates
the actual loss to the road by destruction
Of property at 100000. Cold rain and in
creasing fear OF snowslides added to the
gloom OF wellington today. Two bodies
were sent down the track, and the others,
Warped in blankets, are lying in a rail-
road building.
The recovery Of bodies will be slow until
the locomotives arrive to pull away the
giant trees, whose trunk and branches
are interlooked about the dead. The rain,
falling upon snow already packed 30 tight
that a 10Y will not enter It, is turning
1t to ice.
The working force in the avalanche
ruins now consists of $50 Americans. Three
Of the Greek and Slovenian laborers stole
clothing from the debris, but they did not
actually rob the bodies. The misconduct
Of these men aroused such Indignation that
the railroad officials sent all Of the seventy
five foreign laborers away.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-one Of the
most picturesque chieftains Of the Indian
race and his nephew, both members of the
Chippewa tribe in Minnesota, were found
dead in a local hotel yesterday, the victims
Of asphyxiation. The dead chief was Pay
Paum- We-Che- Waish-Kung, more than 81
year old, and his unfortunate companion
was A-Ne-Way-Aush. Accustomed to the
light from the campfires OF their primitive
life and later to that from the candle and
the lamp, 1t is believed one Of the red
men blew out the gas which ended their
existence and sent them to their Happy
Hunting Grounds"
This was the second visit of the chlof

he used to tie horses with and bound
the devil so tightly that that gentle
man could not move. Then the saint

The Scarecrow Game.

A straw figure. completely dressed.
is fastened to a tree in such a way
that it hangs about a foot from the
ground. He must have one arm fas-
tened akimbo to his side and the other
hanging free. After the players have
had their eyes bandaged and been fur
nished with a stick the game begins.
The object is to thrust the stick
through the opening made by the arm
which is fastened akimbo. Whoever
succeeds in doing so, may claim a
prize. Of course it often happens that
the player misses and receives a light
pat for clumsiness from the straw
mans hanging arm. If any player
misses the goal and passes the naughty
straw man the bandage is removed
and the player is considered out of the
game.

HurnOr and
Philosophy
LURE OF GOLD.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

A MOTHER camp has spread its lure
"A Where in the shining summer sun
That on Alaska fiercely beats
The sands golden current run.
And men are straining purse and limb
And doing deeds that shrink the soul
To be the first to reach and reap
The harvest in this distant goal
Not after learning do they strive.
Nor after honor. place or fame.
The treasures that enrich the mind
And cast a luster on the name,
And even love they leave behind,
Though It may shrivel In the cold.
And turn their eyes and minds and hearts
Toward barren lands that promise gold.
All human feelings cast aside,
AS wolves they struggle for the prize
That at the end of strife and stress
And bitter. stern privation lies.
Their only god is yellow gain.
Their only end and aim is dross.
For that they brave the icy plains
And mountains tall and frowning cross.
And many In the frenzied rush
Who on the die have staked their all
Will never reach the promised goal.
Will falter by the way and fall.
And victims of the yellow lure
Will line the long and weary path.
Food for the coyotes of the wild
And victims of the gain gods wrath.
