any railroad pcnsioncr in the world
The amount he will receive annually,

OF what his salary has been during
the last ten years. $4,000.
Mr.. Stubbs's connection with the
Hartman railroad interests covers an

his brother Joseph L. Stubs, studied
at many prominent institutions of
learning. holds many honorary de-
grees and is president of the Univer-

road business appealed TO him, and.
as young man at the age Of twenty

BIG WHEAT YIELD
WILL STAND
George Wood Refuses to Take
OFF a Single Peck.
Fact That Yield of Sixty Bushels Of
Dry Farm Wheat is Questioned
Does Not Phase Him. --RsIia-
bic Men Confirm Yield.

George Wood was up from Rock
land. Wednesday, and says he is
likely to duplicate his great wheat
yield two years ago OF sixty bushels
per acre. He had the finist field
Of dry farm wheat that year in all
this section of the country, although
there were many other great yields
The field of Mr.. Woods threshed
out more than sixty bushels, machin
measure, of grain that was unusuall
plump. 1t was threshed by the
Meadows and Walker outfit. and
many well known men viii testify
to the yield The Meadows and
Walker field of about 500 acres. ad-
joining that af Mr.. Wood. averaged
about AZ els, and Martin earn,
who joins Mr.. Wood on the other
side. had an acre which received
some special treatment which went
rs bushels.
Wnen Informed that the yield of
MS field had been called into ques-
ton Mr.. Wood gave as references
Meadows and Walker and William
Morgan, and said he would recall
few more who helped with the thres
Ing and were familiar with the field,
VINO would make affidavit that his
statement of sixty bushels was cor
rect.
Shortly before the grain was cut
a representative of the Press was
in the field, and remarked upon it's
great promise. It was his opinion
the yield might reach fifty bushels,
and when the report came to him
that it had made sixty bushels he
investigated, and from men who are
enurely reliable, larned that the re-
port was true.
There is no possibility of sub-irri-
cation of the field in question. The
nearest water is 127 feet, and that
is straight down. The field is high |
bout three miles from the
foesn!l1s. The record is so complete
ly substantiated that it will stand,
it seems incredulous or not.
