killed and eight injured on the Mil
waukee logging railway, II miles from
Herrick today, when the brake on the

through the derailing switch. All the
dead and injured were foreigners. The
names of the dead could not be learned.
Among the injured were Matt Oar
AGO, Louis Descats, Steve Tetross, Joe
Felante and Valentine Gorhae.
Trainmen saved the lives of many
more of the foreign steel crew by show

ing cars. The aliens were afraid to
jump, and those who remained on the
car were scattered helter-skelter when
the crash came. The engineer, fireman
and brakeman on the engine leaped
after they had showed a dozen of the
laborers off the fiatcar.

and bees reported on farms and ranges
for the state of Washington at the
Thirteenth Decennial Census, April Is,
1910, are contained in an official state
ment issued recently by Census Di-
rector Durand. Special attention is
called to the fact that the present
statement relates only to live stock on
farms and ranges and does not give
the figures for the cities and towns of
the state.
The aggregate value of all domestic
animals, poultry, and bees reported in
1910 was $4s,734,0 900, as compared
with $11, 159,000 in 1900; the amount
of increase being $26, 5000, and the
rate 1879 per cent.
The total value of the domestic ami
mails was reported as $47 ,240,000 in
1910, as against $21, 43s,OoO in 1900;
the increase amounting to $25,sO2, 900,
or 1904 per cent.
The poultry were valued at $1,367,-

or 1924 per cent.
The bees were valued at $127 900 in
1910, and 10000 in 1900; an increase
of $4,000, or 1873 per cent.
Horses and colts in 1910 were
nearly two and one-half times as valu-
able as cattle, whereas in 1900 cattle
had the greater value. The total
value of horses and colts in 1910 was
$29, $4,000, while in 1900 it was
SIS, 900, an increase of 246 per
cent. The total value of cattle in 1910
was $12,179,OO0, as compared with
SO, 444, 900 in 1900; an increase of 20
per cent. Next in order in 1910 were
sheep and lambs with total value

451, 900 in 1900 This was the only
decrease in any class of domestic ami
mails and amounted to 21.9 per cent

colts in 1910 was $1,773,00O, while il
1900 it was $13s,OOO; an increase OF
1,1S2S per cent. Swine in 1910 were

THE POTATO SITUATION.

The potato crop in the East, and by
this is meant the states that produce
potatoes for fall and winter use, COM
mercially speaking, will fall short of
last year. Reports indicate a drop in
the yield per acre this year. The total
shortage in the eastern crop is indi-
Gated at an average of about % per
cent.
The potato crop in the central and
northern states presents a varied con
dition. In some the outlook is much
better than last year, while in others
it is not so good. Minnesota has about
the same acreage and the outlook is
for a largely increased crop. Mich
gan S acreage is larger, but the crop
is probably somewhat short. In Wis
consin the crop is far better than a
year ago.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
all have a much larger crop than last
year. 1t win be seen that the crop is
far better than last year in all of the
states beginning with and including
Wisconsin and extending to the Pacific
coast. The surplus in these states will
more than make up for the shortage
in the eastern states.
AS a general summary, there are
more potatoes this year than last in the
central and western states that are i'm.
portant as commercial producers of
spuds for fall and winter purposes.
There is not a thing in the present
outlook that will justify abnormally
high prices. AS a matter of fact, the
crop of the whole country, fall and
winter potatoes, is not materially short
of last year, hardly worth considering

Fractured and Leg Broken-Jested
Before Ascension.

Spokane.-Aviator Cromwell Dixon,
aged 10 years, of the Curtiss company
was fatally injured in fall at the
Interstate fair grounds Monday after
noon. He died at q hospital in 80 min
utes.
Nearly $4,000 people saw the catas
trophe.
Dixon was the youngest licensed avia-
tor in America. He was the first bird
man to scale the Rocky mountains,
accomplishing this feat Saturday on
his way to Spokane
Dixon and r. c.. G Lucky Bob'') St.
Henry were under contract to make
three flights daily at the Interstate
fair.
The boys accident resulted from the
frst attempt at fight. At o o'clock,
after trouble with his engine, Dixon
managed to leave the ground, headed
north.
Here Co. Says Dixon.
Harry 0rmon, q maehinist, was
standing within a few feet of where
Dixon fell.
According TO Ormon he first realized
that the aviator was in trouble when
he heard him shout, "Here / CO."
This shout, he says, was repeated three
times as the biplane crashed sideways
to the ground. AT the same time, he
Gays, Dixon was struggling frantically
to right his machine.
When the first one to arrive reached
the injured aviator they found the in
cured man with his head doubled under
his body, the right collar bone pro
truding through his coat, one leg bro
ken and his face greatly disfgured by
scratches and bruises.

tographer, who photographed the avia
tor just before the flight

picture j will ever have taken,' OK
claimed Dixon just before his ascen
sion.
The aviator S right leg is browen
His face is cut and bruised and he ma,
have suffered fracture of the skull.
The fall was sideways for a distanc
of 100 feet.
According to Manager Scott of tn
Curtiss flyers the wind sweeping up tn
Northern Pacific cut north of the fai
grounds caused Cromwell s fall. Tn
plane was slow in raising and the avia
tor had not attained sufficient altitud
to avoid the dangerous currents. II
