Roy Lawrence OrfieId.

Roy Lawrence Orfleld was born
near Malvern, Iowa, on April 6,
1905, and died July %, 1911, aged
6 years, months and II days.
Though the first years of his life
were a struggle for existence he had
grown so strong and hearty that
hopes for a. bright future were strong
in the hearts of his parents.
Being of an unusually loving dis
position, he was the pride and joy of
his parents and the constant COM
panion of his two sisters, who, with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Orfield, are left to mourn his decease.
A brother and two sisters await Roy
on the other side.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending July %,
1911. Des Moines, Iowa.
The average temperature for the
week was below normal for the first
time since the first week in May; the
average daily deficiency for the past
week being about degrees. A few,
generally light and scattered show
erss, occurred on Tuesday, Wednes-
part of the state the rainfall was
practically nil until Saturday night
or Sunday morning when fairly cop
ious and well-distributed showers
occurred. Cool nights, partially
cloudy weather and absence of hot
winds have enabled corn to hold it's
own remarkably we'll considering
the small amount of moisture in the
soil. Over the southern and parts Of
the central and northern districts
corn has suffered some damage, but
the crop as whole is doing as we'll.
| if not better, than could be expected
under the circumstances, and with
favorable weather in the future will
make a fair yield. The small grain
harvest is practically completed and
threshing is progressing rapidly un-
der favorable weather conditions.
Reports show wide range in the
yield of grain. Oats range from ten
to fifty bushels per acre; winter
wheat eight to thirty; spring wheat,
eight to sixteen; barley, ten to twen-
ty-tive and timothy seed from two to
four bushels. The drought has SER
iously affected fruit. Apples, grapes,
and plums are small and apples are
falling badly. The worst effect of
the drought, however, is on pastures
and the water supply. Pastures are
bare and much stock is being fed
green corn or hay, and stock water Is
getting scarce.

SAYS mine
NOT: CAUSE

WASHINGTON, July THE loss
of the battleship Maine was caused
by the explosion of her three maya
zines.
No such effect as tLat produced
upon the vessel could have been
caused by an explosion from with
out.
Such is the opinion of General
William H. Bixby, chief of engineers
U. S. A., who has returned from a per.
sonal inspection of the work of rails
ing the Maine.
General Bixby said last night that
a portion of the deck over the maya
zines was blown upward and laid
backward, and that there were nu.
merous conditions of the hulk as it
lies in Havana harbor which proves
this. No explosion from the outside,
he said. could have caused the same
result.
What the primary cause of the ex-
plosion was," General Bixby said.
never will be learned"
General Bixby does not believe that
the bodies of those who lost their
lives will be found on the Maine. He
says they are buried probably 200
feet or more from the wreck in the
mud

millions of them lowering over the

ALREADY

M'KENZIE, July 7.-Ross Baker Of
Brittin who, it will be remembered
lost his leg last fall in an endeavol
to beat his way from Mandan to Bis
marck on freight, came nearly re-
peating the performance at Sterling
the other day. He climbed on the
blind baggage of No. to 60 to Bis.
marck but lost his hold and fell off
little above the stock yards. All
that saved him from serious injury
was the fact that the train had not as
yet gained speed of more than about
Is miles an hour.
