Adams Hotel Saved from De.
struction by Passengers Of
East Bound Train.

Just as the east bound passenger
train was pulling into Lavina last
Sunday afternoon about five o'clock,
smoke was seen issuing from the
basement of the Adams hotel at that
place having caught fire few
moments before. Conductor Sam
Berberidge. who was in charge, held
the train thirty minutes to give the
passengers an opportunity to assist
in saving the building, which they
did in a heroic manner. The male
passengers almost to a man got out
and worked hard, and by using
water from the locomotive tender
succeeded in putting out the fire in
very short time, but not before
every piece of furniture and other
articles of value except the kitchen
range and the bar had been removed.
Very little damage was done by the
fire.
The Adams is one of the largest
and best hotels along the new coast
extention, and was named in honor
OF J. @. Adams, formerly president
of the Milwaukee Land Company.
The building, which is owned by L.
C. Lehfeldt, is valued at 500, 900.
The citizens of Lavina surely have
reason to feel greateful to Conduct
or Berberidge and the passengers
who helped in subduing the blaze,
as without their assistance it is pro-
bable that the little town would
have suffered disastrous conf1ag-
ration.

FURNISH No. 7 w|THuQhT
Roundup Coal Mining Company
Completes its Power Line
to Camp No. :.

The town Of Old Roundup and
Camp No. 2 are now being supplied
with electric light from the plant of
the Roundup Coal Company, the
power line having been completed
today. Old Roundup has had the
lights for several days, while No. 2
will be supplied for the first time
tonight. Up to this time the resi-
dence and saloon of NJ. M. Klein at
Old Roundup, and the store and
and saloon at Camp No. 2 are the
only places that have been wired.
Approximately twelve hundred
lights are now being carried by the
company in the city of Roundup,
and this number is constantly being
increased. 1t is understood that
the company is now making ar
rangements for a day current, this
service to be established in about a
month from now. There are al.
ready a number of motors in use
but more are being put in with
the understanding that a day
current will soon be furnished.
With the approach Of warm wea-
ther, a large number of electric fans
will be in operation, thus making a
day current necessary.

AS predicted by The Record last
week, the count this week resulted
in some startling revelations. Altho
it changed about only two of the
contestants, it showed above every
thing else that the candidates
have been working and working
hard. The school candidate, Laura
Rose Kibble, developed considerable
strength during the week casting
S,4O5 votes. giving her the lead
over Consuelo Schlee. Edith Cook
received the second largest number
Of votes, 5,13O, more than doubling
her total last week. Oda Parker
received 4,7S5 votes to her credit.
Those candidates who have not
been active in the contest are drop
ped from the list this week.

Governor Offers Reward For Arrest
Of Those Who Locate a Man
on Wrong Land.

For the dual purpose of warming
prospective settlers that bunco men
are engaged in their operations, and
likewise to make an example of
those who may be caught in the act,
Governor Norris has offered re-
ward Of $3.50 for the arrest and con-
viction ofpersons engaged in the bus
mess Of locating those desiring to set
tie upon government lands and who
do not hesitate to impart false infor-
nation concerning the situation.
Governor Norris and others, had
conference on the subject at which
it developed that in several in
stances, at least, these land locators
had located more than one person
on the same land, receiving fee
from each. In other instances they
have located settlers on lands not
knowing whether it was occupied
or not with the result that settlers
are beginning to file protests con-
cerning such treatment.
1t seems many of the offenders
formerly operated in a similar capa-
city in North Dakota and are now
boarding trains as they enter Mon
tana and, gaining the confidence of
the settlers, induce them to part
with large sums for locating them,
when, as "A matter of fact, they
know little, if any, more about the
situation than the settlers them
selves.

LIVED UNTIL NEXT DA1
Thirty-0n More Bcdies Are Taken
From the Depths Of Cherry
Mine.

Cherry, ILL.,, April 11.-"All alive
2 p. M, November IA" !"
This message from the St. Paul
coal mine was brought to light to-
day with the recovery Of 81 more
bodies entombed since the disaster
last November 13.
The bodies were taken from the
lower level 300 feet below the
ground. The men had retreated to
a space 20 feet square, and had
constructed a rude fan of boards to
keep the air circulating. On the
fan in big letters were chalked the
words quoted above, indicating the
men had lived at least until the day
after the fire. Evidently the men
had taken turns at the crank of
the fan, for one of the bodies had
fallen over the handle as if he had
died while struggling to maintain
an air current.
That the miners were in habit
of keeping their savings on their
persons was shown by the amount
of money found on the bodies. One
miner had in his belt ST 400, in the
belt Of another miner was found
$3.50, and another $712. These
were foreigners.
The report was spread that evi-
dence had been brought to light
that the men had not died for six
weeks after they had been sealed in
the mine, and had existed on corn
taken from the null stables.
Sheriff Skoglund, of Bureau county,
made thorough investigation o1
the report examining all the evi.
dence secured from the mems cloth.
ing, and said it was untrue. He
believed the men had died of black
damp, probably few hours afte,
they had written the memorandum
on the fan.

THE STATE sEEpsMEN-s

that the policy Of the Association. so
far as 1t relates to such members as
engage in the business of breeding and
selling seeds of various kinds, would not
be liable to change from year to year.
There most certainly should be sor7 .
plan devised whereby the member who
desires to engage in the business OF
breeding and selling seed should register
as a seed breeder with the secretary Of
the Association and that his farm opera
tions should be under the supervision of
some person appointed by the associa-
ton SO that the association would be in
a position to guarantee the seed pro-
duced by each member.
We must not gain the idea that all of
the seed grown by the members of this
association Is fit for seed purposes or
that 1t should receive the endorsement Of
the association.
Most of our members would undoubt
eddy never care to be registered as seed
growers. They are interested in the pro-
position of improving the per acre yield
of the crops upon their own farms. Per-
haps they desire to obtain superior
strains Of seed but would not care to
enter into the growing of seed as a COM
mercial proposition.
Therefore, tho secretary favors an
amendment to the constitution of the
association that will provide for the APP
pointment of a permanent committee.

have been trained in the science Of seed

Cum herland grow corn in different
parts of the State under differeneiuen
ditions. Now they compete on an
equal footing, which seems to be un
fair. The State should be divided
into zones SO that the men in the sew

other. We should begin this year to
discuss this matter in order that an
improvement in competitions may be
made next year.
DR.. Raymond Pearl OF the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station at

said that while seeds might do we'll In

He advocated sweepstakes in addition

ity. Committees were appointed tc

entire direction Of the seed breeding
work of the association. The secretary
does not understand that this would pre-
clude the carrying on Of demonstration
plots, same as has been done during the
past year. The directions or the re-
quirements which the seed breeder would
be obliged to meet of course. in order to
be registered with the association, would
necessarily be established by this CON-
mittee. Such plan would only, be in
line with that already adopted by some
of the great seed breeding associations
and centers.
Reference to the work done by the
Wisconsin Experimental Association, the
one from which the form of organization
of our own association was copied very
largely, reveals the fact that they. ahave
had, during the past several years, seri-
Gus complaints from purchasers of seed,
that some at least of their members
were distributing seed of inferior quality,
and at the last annual meeting of the as
sociation trial committee was appoint
ed to Investigate the complaints and to
recommend action to the association.
1t appears to your secretary that at
the present moment, before We, have
carried the work to such point as to be
selling pedigree seed is the time to settle
just how such matters shall be handler
in the future.
A great deal Of correspondence has de-
volved upon the secretary during the
past year but it has been carried on
with a great deal of pleasure. The SEC
rotary believes implicitly in the purpose
of our association and its ultimate sue
cess.
In addition to the recommendations
contained in the forepart of this report,
the secretary desires to add the follow
ing:
LIST. That in view of the increased in
terest taken in the association work and
of the splendid exhibit OF farm products
made at this meeting, and Of the ex-
pense involved in the arrangements for
the meeting including the furnishing of
speakers. / would recommend that the
association present to the next Legisla-
ture its needs in this respect and ask
for suitable appropriation.
!, End. That the association favors a
conference of representatives of the diff
erent agricultural organizations in the
otdle' odlu conference 10 pc neiu our
ing the early days Of January.
Bird That the association continue the
work in corn and potatoes during the
coming year and that its efforts be con-
centratcd on a comparatively few of the
farm crops. This would not necessarily
mean that demonstration work would
not be continued in many directions and
in Il large number of crops, but that the
actual seed breeding work would be
limited to a few. Later the efforts of the
association would naturally broaden.
With the exception of the above re-
commentator, the secretary has no
further suggestions to make. | am.

Opportunities for. Corn Breeding.

| opportunities for corn breeding were,
discussed by DR.. Raymond Pearl of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
station. He said in part
Just what does corn breeding offer
the Maine farmer? What are the on
Iportunities in this direction in this
State? Such opportunities, lie open in
two general directions. These are:
| 1. The improvement of corn as 4
farm crop to be used on the farm.
| 2. The production OF seed corn, both
yellow and sweet to sell not only in
the State but elsewhere as well.
| The first proposition obviously re-
fers to yellow corn. 1t involves two
Questions.
Ca Is it profitable to grow corn as
a grain crop in Maine?
(b) Granting that it is, what profit
| may be expected to result from special
breeding OF the crop?
To answer the first question it is
necessary 70 know on the one hand
what it costs to grow 4 bushel Of corn
in Maine. and on the other hand what
it costs to buy bushel of corn in
Maine. The difference viii! answer
the question.
DR.. Pearl then made n comparison
between the cost of growing an acre
of corn in New Hampshire at 2S cents
bushel and in two Minnesota locali-
ties at 81 md Il cents bushel when
the ears are husked from the standing
stalks and the stoves not harvested.
None of these figures as they stand
are, directly applicable to average
Maine conditions. The Western fig
ures are too low an! the New Hamp-

The Afternoon Session.

The afternoon session was presided
over by the vice president of the Seed
Improvement Association, John Pease
of Cornish. F. II. Morse of Waterford
presented practical paper upon 'How-
| Raise Beans At a Profit"
The speaker said that beans would
not grow without something for them
to eat and suggested that the cheapest
time to hoe a crop was before it is
planted.
He stated that beans would not over
come with grass like corn and so he
had planted them as part of a regular
rotation OF crops. planting first corn
for one or two years and then seeding
down with beans This year, however,
he, had bought bean harvester and
50 rEpst make a change in the rota-
ton as the harvester tore up the
ground.
He favored weeder for cultivation
II. it was so constructed that it did not
&c fer enough below the surface to dis
| turb the roots. The Weeder must also
be used with judgment and not oper-
atcd on cold mornings when it would
cut Off the beans.
He advocated a large sized thresher
which would operate rapidly and sug-
gestcd that instead of using tho small
er ones two or three bean raisers
could obtain large one and use it to-
gethar. The bean pods We're FED to the
cows and the COWS We're just as anX-
iouS Cor them as ensilage, so the bean
fodder made quite an important item.
Mr.. Morse raised the old fashioned
yeqloW-cyed beans and had one Gus
toner who took 100 bushels. Beans had
proved more profitable with the speak
or than sweet corn and did not sap the
ground so much as other crops.

High School Opens September 20.

The Rural Retreat Graded
High School will open Tuesday,
September 20.
1t is very necessary that all
pupils be present at the opening
in order that classes IN all the
subjects may be properly organ
lied and a correct list of books
given to each pupil. No book
should be purchased except at
the direction of the teachers.
Let every boy and girl make
special effort to enter right at
the beginning. It is important
to remember that loss Of even a
week often proves to be a serious
interruption to progress and
tends to produce lack of inter-
est in school work.
The prospects are for one of
the largest and best schools in its
history.
