BANK ROBBERS KILLED.
One of Their Number Talks Too Freely
OF Plot and Officers Are Notified.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Five men who
intended to rob three banks and the
postoflice at Harrah, Okla, ran into a
posse headed by United States Marshal
Jack Abernethy. AS result two ban
dts are dead, one is in Jail at Guthrie,
wounded, and two suspects are in Jail
here.
Frank Quigg was shot down in fight
with the posse and instantly killed. He
lived at Atchison, Kan, and was the
son of a wealthy mother. Frank Carpen-
ter, another robber, was wounded in the
fight and died later in the Jail here.
j. @. Dildock, the third bandit, was only
slightly hurt.
The robbery was well planned, but
Carpenter made the mistake of telling
a number OF people of the plot. In this
way postof1ice inspectors learned of the
affair.

Saves Boilers.

The Coleman fluepoint consists of an
improved joint between the fiue and
the duesheet, so constructed as to pre-
vent all leaking of the iues into the
firebox, and is believed will prove a
saving in boilers on locomotive and
stationary engines. The inventor of the
new fluepoint declares that the in
vention will mean a saving of from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually in the co.
900 locomotives being operated in
America.

WRECK IN MONTANA
ENGINE STALLED IN SNOW
HIT BY PASSENGER TRAIN.
Three Men Are Killed and Ten Injured
and Train Burned Up-Accident Oc-
ours on Billings Line Near Oxford
Siding, 80 Miles East of Judith Gap.

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. ,. In a
binding snowstorm, which had stalled
a Great Northern freight engine and
prevented the engineer of an oneoming
Burlington eastbound passenger train
from seeing the warning signal Ian
tern of the hagman, one of the worst
wrecks ever known on the Butte divi-
sion occurred near Oxford Siding, on the
Billings line, about 80 miles east of Jud-
it'll Gap.
AS result three men were killed, 10
were injured and the greater portion of
the passenger train was consumed by
fire.
The dead are: Homer Sayles of
Judith Gap, fireman ON the passenger
engine; Mail Clerk Augustus 1. Gibson,
of this city; an unknown baggageman,
incinerated in his car.
The injured are; Engineer Fred Potts,
Great Falls, head and knee hurt and
legs scalded; Conductor j. C. O'Neill,
Great Falls, back hurt; Brakeman w. f.
Freeman, face bruised and neck hurt;
Brakeman Leo Jordan, Great Falls, toes
and fingers frozen while tagging. Of the
passengers the injured are: NJ. j. Hell
ma, Commanehe, Mont, legs bruised and
skinned; w. p. Wilson, Broadview,

r. Williams, Washoe, Mont, face and
knee bruised; j. w. Poirire, Red Lodge,

Engine Stalled in Snow.
Engine 1882 of an eastbound freight
had left its train at Franklin on ac-
count of repairs needed and had started
back to Judith Gap with the tender in
front and the caboose behind. AT Ok
ford the engine became stalled in the
heavy snow and the engineer and con-
ductor went ahead to flag against the
oncoming Burlington passenger bound
from Seattle to Kansas City.
This train was about seven hours late
and the engineer was pushing hen
through the storm to keep from falling
further behind. In the binding snow
storm he failed to see the lantern OF
the fagman or the lights on the stalled
locomotive and dashed Leadlong int,
the obstruction.
The engine was hurled to one side Of
the track, instantly killing the fireman
and injuring the engineer, who wal
scalded by escaping steam. The tende
telescoped with the mail car and Mai
/ Clerk Gibson, the only occupant of tn,
car, was killed.
Distant from Any Station.
The three cars following were de
rallied and the passengers hurled from
their seats. The tender of the freigh
engine was overturned, but the loco
motive and eaboose remained on thu
track and the impact of the collision
started them down the grade and the,
travelled for long distance from tn
wreck. Some time after the accident tn
/ wreckage caught fire and the baggage
and mail cars, smoker and day coacl
were entirely consumed.
The sleepers and dining car had re
| manned on the track and were saved
In the fire the body of Mail Clerk Glib
Q son was incinerated.

At meeting they adopted salts

is to elevate the retail fruit and vege-

clean, healthy, high grade fruits and
vegetables and to have the pure food
law complied with by shippers and dis
tributors in that class of food products
All shipments into the city under the

Wheat, Big Factor.

wheat, OF course, the the Dig factor,
the four states producing more than
100000 bushels, of which 35,7sO,OOO
bushels is credited to 10 counties in
eastern Washington, 1857 900 bushels
for Oregon, Ia, 465, 900 bushels for Idaho
and the rest for Montana. The other
farm products entering into the com
putation are fruit, oats, barley, rye, hay,
potatoes, garden products, live stock,
dairy products and poultry and eggs.
The foregoing figures become i'm
portant in the development of the
western country when it is known that
in many instances the products of the
older farming states are not as valu-
able as those in the quartet mentioned,
which, less than quarter of a century
ago, were considered to be largely
worthless lands. 1t means, too, that
with the influx of population and out
side capital for development purposes
there Will be more farms and a greater
wealth production as a natural result.
There are 6,741, 900 farms, or about
100000 more than in 1899 in the
United States today, and the value of
the products for 1909 is placed at
$1,000, 100000, with farm assets of $685.
0O0,00O,OOO. This shows that fully one
third of the population of the country
is engaged in the various forms of agri-
culture.
1t is believed by many that the re-
suit of the country life and baek-to-
the-land movement viii be to raise the
percentage of farmers to 40 in a few
years, thus placing the nation in the po-
sition of an exporter and raising the
wealth production to the 11-fgure notch

The foregoing figures show there is
need of more farmers in the northwest
ern states and that millions of acres of
lands now idle could be put under cul-
tivation on substantial revenue-pay-
ing basis. There are many who believe
that the days of the bonanza farms are
numbered, which means that with small
er holdings there will be more intensive
farming, and, as a consequence, larger
acre crops.
The farm products of 1909 in the III
land Empire, taking in Eastern Wash
ington and Oregon, north and Central
Idaho and Western Montana, are valued
at $110,O00,000, with East I'm Washing
ton furnishing about 3s per cent of the
whole. A normal apple crop at present
prices, instead of a yield ranging from
IS to 40 per cent, would have placed the
figures at approximately $4,000, 900, as
against $9O,OOO,0OO in 1908.

FARMERS COME BACK
Fifteen Thousand Americans, Tired
of Canada Return to United
States

A dispatch from Washington, print
ed few days ago in the Twin City
daily papers, tells about the return of
American farmers from Canada as fol-
lows:
THE tide of emigration of home
seekers to Canada, which has been the
subject of great concern to the ad-
ministrators of the public domain for
the last few years, has turned, in the
opinion of officials of the reclamation
service. Thousa have returned
and great many more are expected
back soon.
Clarence J. Blanchard. statistician
of the reclamation service, reports
that he has interviewed a great num-
Der of settlers in Montana who had
tried the Canadian experiment, but
were glad enough to return home.
They stated that practically every
American farmer in the neighborhood
of Alberta, where the Canadian gov
eminent maintains it's irrigation pro-
ject. was anxious to get back if he
could sell his holdings.
''The American settlers were dis
satisfied with the character of the
land, the crops from which, they al
legged, consisted principally of alfalfa
and such hardy grains as winter
wheat, and even these were not sure.
The form of government did not ap.
peal to them, and they considered the
railroad freight rates exorbitant.
The climate was source of dissatis-
faction, ice and snow in August and
September of last year adding to their
discomfort.
During the last nine months, it
was said at the reclamation service.
$4,000 settlers have returned to the
States from Canada, and the pros.
poets for general backward move
ment were bright
