Council Bluffs
Two Hours Rain
Feeds Thirsty
Fields in lowe
Steady Pour Does Immense Good to
Farms, and Corn Crop Prom
Uses Well.

Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie county
we're visited by a rain early yesterday
morning that was so generous and so
evenly distributed that farmers and garden
ers estimate its value to be quite close to
N,OOOOOO. The rain fell in a steady pour for
nearly two hours with no atmospheric dis
turbances whatever. In only one place in
the county was the rush OF water greater
than could be instantly absorbed by the
thirsty earth.
In the vicinity Of Galliatt, twelve miles
east of Council Bluffs the storm was almost
OF the nature of a cloudburst, and many OF
the smaller streams were forced out OF
their banks, but in all other parts OF the
county, according to reports received yes
terday afternoon. the excess was not suf-
ficient to cause more than a little ripple
In the bottoms Of long-dry water courses.
Although It rained quite hard in Council
Bluffs. but little water flowed over the
paved streets, in few places in sufficient
quantities to wash the dust from the
cutters.
The rain will be Of great benefit to the
corn crop, and the indications are that
Pottawattamies 1910 yield will make new
record The acreage planted is the largest
In the history of the county. The progress

appreciable extent by the dry weather,
owing to the perfect cultivation It has re-
ceived and the extraordinarily fine condi-
ton Of the soil at planting time. According
to Prof Crossley. the Ames Agricultural
college expert, the condition OF the crop
in large part of the county Is close to
the 100 per cent mark for the period OF the
season. The roots of the plants have pene-
trated to an unusual depth in the soft soil,
enabling the growing stalks to Withstand a
degree Of drouth that would have destroyed
the crop at this stage last year.
The berry and garden products around
town have not Jared SO well. The black
berry and raspberry crop Will be almost a
total failure. The berries have dried on
the plants and but little revival can be
expected from the rain. The grape crop
which was limited to the third output OF
blossoms. a part OF which only escaped the
April and May freezes, will be greatly cur
tailed by the drouth. The blackrot, birds
eye rot and several other kinds of harmful
fungi that inflicted thousands of dollars
worth of damage on the vineyards here
last season, has been almost entirely elm
mated by the long dry SPELL
George w. Reye, manager of the Council
Bluffs-Omaha Grape Growers association
says the crop of fruits of all kind will be
tho shortest this year that the association
has handled during it's more than twenty
years experience. There will not be q
peach In the county, and not enough ap
pies to supply one-thousandth part of the
home demand. The strawberry crop wal
only about one-tenth the normal yield
while gooseberries and currants will be &
total failure. The association last year
handled more than $4,000 worth OF fruit
but the receipts, this year will be only 4
small fraction of that amount.

Postal Savings
Helps Foreigners,
Says De Graw
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Declares Deposit System Will Be
Great Benefit.

p. v. De Graw, fourth assistant post
master general, while in Omaha for Few
minutes yesterday afternoon. made several
observations regarding the recent postal
savings bank legislation. Mr.. De Graw de-
clares the adoption of this system VIII
prove Of incalculable worth to people who
have only small amounts TO deposit, and
win especially induce children to lay aside
their nickels and dimes where before they
spent them foollshly.
Mr.. De Graw stated that another way
In which the postal banks will be helpful
was In the money matters of the thousands
Of foreigners who each year send money
through the malls or have small amounts
to deposit. Under present conditions for
eigners are as q rule afraid to trust their
meager savings to the banks. Every large
postoffice In the country has hundreds of
applications for postal money orders drawn
by foreigners payable to themselves. They
believe they are safe in trusting the gov
eminent with their funds and ignorantly
pay the large percentage which money
orders necessitste rather than deposit their
money in the banks.
Under the postal savings system 1t is
estimated that a large majority OF these
people will be brought to depositing their
Hioney on the same principle Lnat tney now
buy money orders-because they believe
their savings are most secure in the keep
Ing Of Uncle Sam.
Mr.. De Graw went slightly into detail on
the methods to be used, although every
thing is not yet definitely settled. A COM
mission on ways and means, appointed by
the postmaster general, is now working out
final plans. The idea to be followed, as
explained by Mr.. De Graw, is in substance
as follows:
Upon payment of 10 cents a person re-
ceives card upon which is a special 10
cent stamp. Upon each small payment
thereafter stamps are placed on the card
for the amount deposited. up to 81. When
81 has been so deposited the card is turned
In and deposit book, similar to those used
in banks today. is issued to the depositor
with an initial deposit of the 81.
When the deposit book is issued the card
Is no longer used From then on deposits
are made in the same manner as in banks
any amount being accepted. A limit OF
deposits is placed at $780, However, when
the depositor has saved $500 he may with.
draw 1t and make a new start. No one
person may have more than $500 on deposit
at one time. Interest will be paid at the
rate OF 3 per cent 1.-

visor has returned from Canada, thankful
that he did not find buyer last spring for
his comfortable home at 7O8 East Pierce
street In February Mr.. Taylor purchased
100 acres of land in the Alberta province for
$50 an acre. He left here in the early part
OF March to improve his land On the LIST
Of April he sold 1t for $40 an acre. making
q profit Of $1,6O0 in less than two months.
He Immediately invested his profit and
original capital in two quarter sections, and
then took a conspicuous part in the work
of building up the country. He is a car
penter and easily made s. or more a day
at his trade and had sufficient work In
sight 10 last a year. Throughout April the
country continued to boom in the most
remarkable manner, with thousands of
houses being erected by the new American
settlers, and mechanics in the building
trades receiving almost any price asked
for their work
But the boom suddenly collapsed about
the last of June. Not drop of rain had
fallen since April. The government and
private irrigating bitches ceased to irrigate
and by the list of July there was not
green thing, Taylor says, in a territory OF
hundreds of miles extent. All the crops
were a complete failure. People Of limited
resources began leaving the country in
June. and when Taylor left, about July /,
he said the exodus was becoming almost a
panic.
IF they have a hard winter those who
could not get away except by walking or
wagon will have a serious time" said Mr..
Taylor. II kept enough Of my wages out

CHICAGO. ILL.,, July B.-(special Tele-
gram. president Taft will be joint
speaker with Theodore Roosevelt at the
annual Conservation congress which will
be held in St Paul September to .. under
the auspices of the National Conservation
congress and the National Conservation
ASSOCIATE The announcement was the out
come of conference between the warning
Pinchot and Ballinger factions of the con
gress at the Congress hotel here today. 1t
was a concession made by the executive
council to a committee headed by Governor
A. o. Eberhardt of Minnesota and repre-
senting the business interests Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis. which demanded that the
administration be accorded more places on
the program than was contemplated by the
followers OF former Forester Clifford Pin
ohot who is president Of the National
Conservation association
The conference resulted from the an
nouncement Of tentative program of
speakers for the congress which threatened
to split the ranks of the conservationists
The program announced that former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Francis ]. Heney of Cali
fornis, Senator Dolliver Of Iowa Congress-
man Madison OF Kansas, former Secretary
Of the Interior Garfield and Attorney
Rrandeis. prominent in the Pinchot Bal
linger controversy, would be the speakers
The name Of President Taft was conspic-
uously absent. In return, the Pinchot fac
ton charged that the Minnesota men were
trying to inject politics into the congress
to secure anti-conservation speakers and in
general were trying to run the congress
along the lines of interest of James J..
Hill and the western governors who hold
to the states rights policy in the con-
lar
