MUCH SNOW;
GOOD CROPS
Wheat Planting Conditions Fine
in Northwest
Elevator Companies Get En-
cOuraging News

Minneapolis, Feb. 21.--The northwest
has sufficient moisture in the ground
to insure the planting, termination
and early growth Of the wheat crop,
to date past the time when spring
rains will be due, according to re-
ports from many resources, received
today at the chamber of commerce.
Cold weather, with intermittent rain
and snow has put the ground in good
condition. There was more farm work
done last fall in preparation for spring
seeding than ever before, according to
the same advices.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern note sufficient rain or snow
through North Dakota to make the
spring outlook favorable and reports
today were excellent from every por-
ton except a small strip of country
just east Of the Montana state line,
where rain or snow is needed. Across
the line in Montana conditions are
very good.
G. c. Dalrymple said that advices
from the Red River valley are of good
soil conditions, and that farm work
is so well advanced that there should
be a good start when seeding time
comes. The news to the Poehler Of
fees from southern Minnesota is of
good soil conditions.
With the first good seed train of
number that will run, scheduled to
leave Feb. q with men on board who
will talk to the farmers of the ad-
vantages of good farming, it is ex-
pected that care of the soil, proper
iillage and other features that last
year were found to be of value, will
be gone into still more thoroughly this
year. Already there is some talk as
to what crops the farmers will most
favor.
Widening Corn Acreage.
North Dakota IS making an effort to
spread the acreage Of corn, as it has
been shown that corn can be raised
very profitably in that state, notwith.
standing an old prejudice that still
exists in some degree that the state
is too far north. More corn will be
sown. North Dakota is also the great
est flaxseed state of the union, and, as
flaxseed has been profitable prices,
there will be desire on the part of
many farmers to plant it. BARLEY is
also selling at prices, for the choice
grades, that are very attractive.

EAGLE INSPECTS
RODGERS BIPLANE

WACO, Texas, Oct 19.-"Cal' p.
Rodgers, the aviator, en- route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, flew from
Dallas to Waco today, 100 miles in
ninety-five minutes, landing at four
o'clock this afternoon. His only stop
was at Hillsboro, fourteen miles north
of Waco, where he replenished mis-
gasoline.
He will resume his journey tomor-
row morning with Austin, 1OS miles
distant, as the next stopping point.
Rodgers told of an encounter he
had with a curious minded eagle.
After driving along at express speed
for a score of miles, with the bird
directly beneath him, a thousand feet
below, Rodgers observed the eagle
rise and make directly for the ma
chine. The bird continued upward
until within a few feet of the racing
aviator, then, frightened by the pro
pellers, suddenly swooped down and
passed out of vision.

HILO, Nov. 3.-Among the town
visitors who arrived on Tuesday
morning was DR.. l.. S. Thompson of
Kau, who is well known throughout
the Territory on account of the fight
that he has made for the rights Of
the homesteaders of tnat section for
several Years past. DR.. Thompson
left or the afternoon of the same day
for Hakalau where he plans to spend
some weeks with his son, who is the
heal lura of that plantation. He will
visit Hilo during his Hakalau stay, to
take in the trial of the Kaiwiki home
steader cases which are soon to come
up before Judge Parsons. In speak
ing of the present situation in Kau,
DR.. Thompson said:
1.-THE weather this year has been
almost perfection from the standpoint
of the cane grower, and if the other
conditions were as favorable to the
homesteader as the weather we
could have no complaint to make.
Our chief trouble at present, outside
of the fact that we have been unable
TO get title to our homesteads, comes
in the tact that we cannot afford to
grow cane, as the Hutchinson planta-
ton refuses to make any contracts
for grinding the cane. This naturally
leaves us in a bad position and were
it not for the fact that with the ex-
ception of myself all the homestead
ers have some other employment
which enables them to hold on, we
would be unable to hold out. We eX-
pect, however, to get our titles in
good faith and can prove it, We have
not tried to take advantage OF the
technicalities in the law, but have
lived up to the conditions set down
therein. We feel that we deserve
the land and are going to get IT,
though the manner in which we are
being held off has not been pleasant
by any means.
IN spite of the fact that we have
been unable to get any contracts for
grinding cane, there nave been about
one hundred acres planted to cane
which will be ripe in 1912. Whether
this cane will be ground by the plan
tation mill, or allowed to go to waste
after the time and money which has
been expended upon it, is something
which remains to be seen. AS far as
labor goes the homesteaders can get
all they want, as the men would
rather work for them than for the
plantation"

CORRECT TIME FLASHED
TO VESSELS AT SEA

Since the wireless method of send
ing messages has been perfected it is
possible to flash the correct time each
day to vessels far out at sea.
The tallest wireless station in the
world is the Eilfel tower in the city
of Paris, and from this and a number
of other tall stations throughout the
globe the time is sent at noon, mid
night and at eight in the morning
and evening. Thus the officers Of yes
sells in a great part of the earth S
great waterways do not have to de-
pend for their reckonings on the cor
rectness Of their chronometers.
This is a step forward, and one OF
the many made possible by the won
derful wireless. We do not know
what to expect next

ELY, THE INTREPID AVIATOR,
PREDICTED HIS TRAGIC EMO

MACON, Ca, October 19.-Eugene
Ely, aviator, was fatally injured at
the State Fair grounds today when his
machine failed to rise from a sensa.
tional dip and plunged with him fifty
feet to the ground. He fell in the
presence of nearly 5000 persons to the
middle of the Enclosure of the race
track after almost clearing the ma
chine by a desperate leap when he
realized his peril.
He died a few minutes later, re-
gaining consciousness just before the
end long enough to mutter:
81 lost control know ! am going
to die"
Ely made a flight this morning, as
cending to an altitude of 300 feet At
PAS o'clock he began his second flight
from the track inclosure which he
circled in a few minutes, travelling
about thirty miles an honr AS he
was completing the circuit he made
dip.
The machine shot downward with
tremendous velocity, and the crowd
applauded, thinking the aviator would
rise, as he had done many times be-
fore. But Ely seemed to lose his grip.
for the machine continued its down
ward plunge and he attempted to rise
from his seat
In fact, he released the lever alto
gether and half jumped, barely clear
ing the aeroplane as it crashed to the
ground. The machine was demolish-
ed and Ely struck with terrific force.
Ely left his wife in New York two
weeks ago to come to Macon to make
nights for the Georgia state fair. He
had been giving spectacular exhibi.
tions here for eight days, going up on
one occasion in a rainstorm. Today
he even offered to make a flight by
night, painting his craft with phos
