ually counted good for about thirty
barrels, which at $3.50 per barrel at
selling time would mean total loss
of $4,000 for the county. Whether or
not the potatoes will yet produce a
part of a crop is predetermined
F. f. Clawson, of Ashwood,. an au-
thority on the potato, said today: Il
have about eighty acres planted in
Irish potatoes and after examining
closely / find that they are killed of to
the ground. Last year, when the po-
tatoes were not SO high, they were
bit off by the frost. At that time,
though, there were patches over the
! field that escaped. This year the en-
tire crop is killed off to the ground.
Last year the potatoes came out and
made big crop, but it is doubtful if
they recover this year"
Esq. Ballanfant, who lives near Gull
leoka, stated that his potatoes were
killed down, but that the covered them
with two horse pillow before the sun
rose, and that they would be unhurt.
He had only small patch, however.
Corn.
The corn crop was we'll advanced
for the time of year. and in many
fields had jointed. It was bit down
by the frost. and it's growth badly re-
Itarded. Corn usually RECEIVERS from
frost bite, and frequently makes a good
yield, but the stalk never grows so tall.
Some farmers will replant between
the rows, and will later pillow up the
stand that is less promising. The sea-
son is early and corn that is replanted
will probably make good yield.
Wheat.
Farmers are divided in their opinion
as to the damage done wheat. The
majority of them say that 1t is yet
too early to tell. But in many fields
the wheat suffered severely, although
it is generally believed that 1t will re-
cover from the damage and perhaps
make an average yield.
The Fruit Crop.
That the fruit crop is completely |
killed is generally conceded. Much of
1t had been previously killed, especial
ly in low places, but 1t remained for
the freeze to complete the task. Young
apples that were cut open Monday
showed that they were frozen
70 the core. There are in Maury coun-
" many fine orchards. all of which
ire ruined. The loss to the fruit will
amount to many thousand dollars.
The Glover.
The clover, the acreage of which /,
vas large, suffered heavily. 1t was {

arge quantity of pasturage was lost.
Clover will survive, the cold snap, but I

Comet to Blame.
Without exception the farmers hold
Ialley's comet responsible for the
amage. The long tailed luminary is
ow rapidly approaching the United
tates, and at Memphis and other
laces astronomers with large glasses c

HENRY WYNEMALEN FLIES
$50 MILES IN IS 1-2 HOURS
In Contest With lie GagnOux Com
pIctes Paris to Brussels and Return
Flight Carrying a Passenger.

Paris, Oct. 17.-Having flown $50
miles in little more than fifteen and
a half hours, Henry Wynemalen, the
Dutch aviator, today completed his
return from Paris to Brussels flight
carrying a passenger. He stopped
twice en- route to Brussels. He was
flying for $4,000 prize offered for
making the flight in the fastest time.
The contest closes January 1. Avia-
tor LIE Gagnoux, carrying a passenger,
started the same time as Wynemalen
but remained over night at Brussels.
He continued his flight today and is
expected later.
The distance between the two points
is about 10 miles as the crow flies,
and the distance between Brussels and
st. Quentin approximates 80 miles.
On the trip to Brussels both avia-
tors made a landing at st. Quentin
to replenish their gasoline. Wyne-
malen made a second landing little
further along to inquire the way. The
weather was ideal and the trip was
without incident. Wyenmalen cover
ed the distance to Brussels in hours,
3S minutes.
LeGagneVx, with only one stop
made it in five hours.

COACH .BODIE GETS SURPRISE
Washington Team Gives Leader
Some Fine Points at Football.

Some Fine Points at Football.
University of Washington, Seattle.
For the first time this season Coach
Gilmour Dobie has resumed an opti-
mistic air regarding the chances OF
the University of Washington football
team. Dobie was greatly surprised at
the work accomplished by the local
squad last Saturday in defeating the
husky Seattle high school squad.
Dobie believes that he has found
some phenoms for the year. Pike
Cook and Cahill, who have had ex-
perience in football. proved that they.
as well as other old men. have the
power of finding holes in their oppo-
nents' line.
The first college game occurs on
Saturday, in which Washington plays
the University of Puget Sound at Ia
coma.
The new rules operated in excellent
shape for Washington last Saturday.
Mass plays were absent. and the team
often resorted to the fake plays so
characteristic of the new game. Polly
Grimm showed his same old class as
a yard gamer, and his brother, Warren
Grimm, is even more reliable with the
forward pass. Eakins Is punting the
pigskin harder and farther this year
than he did last.

and the child has never been very i'll.
The lad says he is afraid to. go

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS TAKE
FIRST GAME FROM CHICAGO CUBS

game long enough to acquire philos-
ophy, and they will not be broken
hearted IL they lose. The Athletics
are having their first chance at the
big doings, and they go into the con-
test with the feeling of a japanese
general who is firmly committed to
the policy of victory or harikari. To
the Cubs, victory means beer and
skittles and transient fame. The
youngsters Of the Athletics conceive
victory as immortal glory.
Games will be played in Philadel-
phia Oct. II and IS, and in Chicago
Oct. 20 and 81. In case more games
are necessary, one will be played in
Philadelphia on the 90 and in Chi
cago on the 23d. The umpires will
be O'Day and Rigler from the Ma
tionals. Connolly and Sheridan from
the Americans. So far Chicago has
won four worlds championships and
Philadelphia none. Pitchers Coombs
and Bender are the Athletics chief re-
lance.
Great Crowd Present.
The gates of Shibo park were
thrown open at IL o'clock and ten
thousand fans were in line to see the
opening game of the worlds cham
pionship series. At noon the bleach
ers were filled. Spectators sold tick

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-Who will

lem, which was agitating the fans OF
the National league circuit two or
three months ago, is now up to the
Philadelphia Athletics, and those
young gentlemen will labor enthusias-
tically this week in an attempt to
find the right answer to the vexing
question. Indeed, the day of the first
contest for the worlds championship

HURT FROM ENGINE

Redding.-Herman Ballers, a cook
employed in a local hotel has two
large bumps on his head and a slight
headache, as the result of going to
sleep on railroad track with his
head on the rail The Shasta Linn
tied, one of the fastest passenger
trains on the road, struck Ballers and
he was found apparently lifeless by
the train crew. A few minutes later
he sat up and rubbed his head, where
two bumps were the only evidences of
its contact with the engine.
The train was going forty miles an
hour. The cap on Ballers' head was
torn off and ground into fragments.
He was hurled to the side of the road
bed. The man had been drinking
heavily.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct 17.-Because
of the announcement Of Director Du-
rand that this city's census had been
padded by $4,000 fake names, lead
ing business men and commercial or
ganizations today started movement
for a recount. Mayor Fawcett IL
heading the move Tacoma's popu-
lation was 82,972, an increase of IL
per cent. A mass meeting of the
commercial club members is called
for this afternoon and the board OF
directors of the chamber of COM
merce will also meet. Resolutions
demanding a recount will be made.
A direct appeal will most probably
be made to Director Durand as the
logical procedure but many of the
civic bodies are urging that the city
go over his head and appeal to Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor Nagel>
or President Taft.
Mr.. Durand's padding charges are
generally considered lightly and as
unwarranted by facts. Members Of
the civic organizations declare that
If any of the regular enumerators
were guilty of padding they should be
punished to the fullest extent Of the
law. Tacomans feel that after the
near recount" as they call it, Of
September, was made, Special Agent
w. A. Mckenzie either double crossed
them when he told them in a con-
ference Just prior to his departure
from the city that the population fig
ure would be between $4,000 and
10000 or that Director Durand has
picked on Tacoma as an example to
the entire United States "penalizing
beyond all bounds of reason" as
some put it, that the lesson might
have the maximum strength
General indignation was expressed
against Special Agent Mckenzie be-
cause of the hurried manner in which
the recent recheck was made and the
small number of men that he en-
ployed to do the work. Numerous
claims of injustice were made and
one instance pointed out was that in
the recheck the renumerators found
