DROUGHT HAS PLAYED HAVOC
WITH FooDsTuFFs IN GEN.
TRIAL UNITED STATES.

Washington, July 10.--"Hot, dry
wcather--drought-h played some
thing akin to havoc with the crop con-
dition during last month";" was the
statement made today by Professor
y. G. Murray, acting chief of the
crop reporting board of the depart
ment of agriculture. after the an
nouncement of the July report on grain
and produce.
THE report said Professor MUIR
ray, reflects the rather serious ef-
fects of the drought in June, most of
the important crops showing con-
dition which yields below last year
and below recent average yields.
"F'eedstuffs, oats and hay seem to
have been hardest hit. Less than
two-thirds of n normal crop OF hay
Is expected and the oats crop prob
ably will be more than 25 per cent
less than last years crop, and about
the last five years.
"The corn acreage Is the largest
ever recorded, but the condition of the
crop Is about per cent below the
average. That indicates a production
of approximately per cent less than
last years record crop, but nearly &
per cent more than the average pro-
duction in the last five years. The
condition of the corn crop on July !

Potato Crop Poor
The potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The acreage has
fallen off. probably on account of un-
satisfactory prices last year, and the
condition of the crop Is now lower
than on any July / I'm the last 24
years. Almost sensational advance
in the price of potatoes has been made
during the last month. The aver

the average for the last five years.

Missoula's first commission governs
ment election was quiet throughout.
Its vote was gratifyingly large and re-
suited In the selection of John NJ.
Evans for mayor and Thomas A. Price
and cuthbert Peat for couneilmen.
The voting progressed without ex-
citement or furry except In the
Fourth ward, where an error In print-
ing the ballots had dropped the square
from In front of the name Of John NJ.
Evans The city attorney was noti-
fled as soon as the mistake was dis
covered. The Missoulnn office, which
did the printing. offered To print at
once substitute ballots, but the attor-
ney said Ii was not necessary as tho
validity Of the ballot was not affected.
Grave charges of intentional attempt
at fraud were made by j. NJ. Lucy and
others against The Missoulian and
! things were said for which the speak
crs should be sorry this morning, if
they are not. Aside from this thcro
was no disturbance at any polling
place.
L The vote vas steady all day There
were 1ii5 votes cast. The total vote
for mayor was l.i00. The difference
| Is explained by the fact that in one OF
/ the wards there were some votes cast
| for candidate for councilman alone.
/ In many Instances yotors marked their
ballots for mayor and one councilman.
There were some; a few, In which all
! four candidates for councilman had
received support on the same ballot.
/ But the closeness of the total vota
| for mayor TO tota vote cast shows
that most of the voting was carefully
! done.

Not Now in Files.

The letter was not to be found in
newspaper writer, who will testify
later, says that she copied such
document from the official files.
President Taft has expressed conf
dence that his brother never commu-
nicated with him on the subject, either
orally or in writing.
Miss Abbott, already supoenaed as
a witness, probably will appear before
the committee Wednesday. Mr. Dem
nett testified that some time between
the framing of the first draft and that
of the final order opening the Com
troller bay lands to entry, the usual
provision was eliminated which would
have required 60 days notice from any
one intending to file on the lands. He
did not know who struck 1t out, and
did not attach much Importance or
mystery to that point. but. replying to
questions, said the effect of the omis-
sion would be to give advantage to
those on the ground who happened to
know of the order.
| 1t was explained later that this or
der was given to the press at the time.
Among the witnesses the committee
will summon is Ashmund Brown, n
Seattle newspaper man, who was pri-
and who, according to Miss Abbott,
@as present when she saw the alleged
Ryan Ballinger letter.
