ESTIMATE ON
COTTON CROP
is The BEST IN TEN YEARS
And 1t May Be the Best Ever
Known

Washington, August 2.-Reports On
the growing cotton crop Of 1911 re-
ceived by the department of agricul-
ture continue t. indicate that the
yield this year will be one Of the
greatest, ii not the greatest, in the his
tory of the industry. The conditions
of the crop on July %, as announced
today, was S9.1 per cent of normal
This was nine-tenths of L per cent
higher than a month ago and 81 pei
cent above the average on July %
for the past ten years.
Based on the average condition Of
the crop on July % for the past ten
years and the average yield per acre
for the same period, the condition re-
ported today, if it should continue
would indicate a final total yield OF
20725 pounds per acre, which upon
34000,000 acres, the estimated final
acreage, allowing for the abandon
ment of 8 per cent of the acreage
means a total cotton crop of 1903, ,000
bales of $50 pounds each. This esti-
mate is unofficial.

To LAND SHOW
SUMTER Will
give ITS AID
GEORGIA TO Be REPRESENTED
States Leading Agricultural
County Must Be in Exhibit

If Sumter county is to be represent
ed among those who are to uphold
.Georgia's fame and aggressiyeness as
an agricultural static, it will be nee
essary for an appropriation to be
made by the county to help defray
the expenses of the states exhibit at
the forthcoming United States Land
and Irrigation Exposition to be held in
Chicago in November and December.
The matter has already been called
to the attention of the local Board of
Trade, which has favored this coun-
tvs being represented at the eXposit-
ion No subscription to the fund need
ed to finance the exhibit has yet been
made by this city or county. AS the
option secured by the Georgia EXhib-
it Association, which was formed to
secure representation for this state i'll
the great exhibit to be made by all
states of the union in Chicago, will
expire September 1, it is necessary
that any support that is to be given
by this county should be made soon.
The officers of the Georgia Exhibit
Association are now on tour through
out the state to raise the amount need
ed to finance the state exhibit.
Among the cities that have. responded
are Savannah, Waycross and others.
Americus will be given an opportunity
to share in this enterprise, as there is
no section of the state that presents
such inviting qualities to immigrants.
In this particular it is pointed out
that Georgia has advanced from tenth
to fourth place in agricultural deyel-
opment, in which Sumter county and
this section is surpassed by no other
county in the state. The need of Sum
ter's aid in this movement is thus
easily seen.
Further discussion and considera-
ton of the matter will be had at an
early meeting of the Board of Trade.

FINDS GOLD IN SUMTER
down ON The FARM
Americas Near Strata Of the
Precious Metal

Gold; pure yellow gold, within {
mile of the city limits of Americus, Is
a discovery calculated to arouse great
est interest and to give renewed i'm
petus to the turning up of the red sol
of Sumter county. The gold is here
the assayers have so declared, and the
yellow metal is really in evidence.
Out on the farm of Mr. F. D. Mitch.
ell, scarcely a mile from the western
limits of the city, is the place where
gold has been found.
When Mr.. Mitchell purchased the
farm year ago he little suspected
that he might be buying gold mine
as we'll as a peach orchard, but his in
vestigations of the lands there prom,
Use to reward him we'll.
He has the samples of gold-bearing
rock to show that he did not err in his
calculations.
Mr. Mitchell resided many years n
California as a gold prospector, and Is
familiar with the character of rocks
bearing the prescious metal. Recent
ly he became convinced that the huge
boulders upon his farm contained
geld so he sent samples of rock to
experienced assayers for examination
Yesterday he received a letter from
them, stating that the samples of rock
contained gold with strong tracings of
copper as we'll
This opinion of professional experts
fully verified Mr.. Mitchell's belief that
gold existed on his farm, but whether
in paying quantity he cannot yet de-
termine. He will make further inyes-
legations Immediately.
Portions of the Mitchell farm are
covered over with rock, and he is
quite of the opinion that more gold J,
hidden in their recesses. The theory
is a plausible one, and is supported
Iby Mr. Mitchells experience in Cali
fornia gold mining. The precious
metal is here, and he is going to find
it.
Whether or not gold is found in
paying quantity Mr.. Mitchell will put
in a powerful stone crusher on his
farm and thus make merchantable the
many tons of rock there.

Enlargement of Club Planned
For Next Year

On account of rain the regular shoot
of the local Gun Club, which was to
have occurred yesterday afternoon,
was postponed until this afternoon,
when it will be held at the regular
hour, o'clock.

al organization next year. In addition
to increasing the membership of the
club, the equipment at the Country
Club grounds will be made more ade-
quate by the installation of addition
al traps and other necessities.
The Fourth of July shoot here has
given assurance to the members Of
the Gun Club that still larger and
more successful shoot can be easily
arranged for next year. By advertis-
ing the shoot generally, it has been
planned to secure the presence here
of crack shots of national reputation
The Americus Gun Club will be known
next season to trap shooters through
out the entire country, and its man
agement will be made the most sue
cessful and enterprising possible.

MEETS DEATH IN
JOHN DAY RIVER
The Potter Dam Is Scene
of Fatality.

Intelligence reached Heppner on
Sunday morning of the death by
drowning at the Potter dam just a.
bove Spray, on the John Day river,
of Ben Cochran, only on of Emmet
Cochran. of near Monument.
Young Cochran, in company
with his father and couple of other
men from the ranch, rode down
to the dam on Saturday evening to
spend a few hours in fishing. They
reached there after dark and light
ing lantern, placed it in a promi-
nent place on the dam to light up
the water as it passes over onto an
apron just below. The water falls
with great force over the dam, and
a strong whirlis created below, Ben
was fishing on the dam pretty we'll
to the opposite side of the river
from the others, and Ioosing his
footing, slipped into the river and
was lost to sight, He was not
just at the time, but a
moment later he was heard to utter
a cry and his companions were
made aware that he had fallen in
to the stream below the dam. The
roar of the water made 1t impossi-
bic to hear call for help, and as
Ben had always been used to the
water snd was known to be good !

State Veterinarian, so far as these
cases are concerned, is about as
much use to Morrow county as a
fifth wheel to wagon. There has
been much ado made over the fact
that this office has found remedy
that will cure dog that has been
poisoned from eating salmon, but
the appeals of our people here for
a thorough investigation of this
disease that is taking off the valu-
able work horses of the farmers,
have been turned aside lightly,
and nothing has been done.
1t might be a good idea to work
the recall on this office and put it
out of business entirely.

swimmer, his father and the other
men did not haYe a thought but
that he would get out alright,
He failed to show up, however, and
his companions began a search, be-
ing unable to locate him. The
work of rescue was continued for
four hours before the body was
finally recovered.
1t is thought he must have sus
tanned some injury which caused
him for the time to loose control
Of himself, for it is thought he
should have been able to get
out, the water not being very deep
where he went over.
The sudden tsking off of this
young man in this manner comes
as a terrible shock to his parents,
and to the entire neighborhood
where he has lived all his life.
He was model young man, just
coming into his majority, as he
would have been 2l years of age in
January, He was graduate of
the Monument schools, and had
spent two years in 0. A, c., to
which institution he was prepar-
ing to go the first of this week to
take up his studies as a Senior
in the commercial department.
His mother, Mrs. Emma Cochran
left Heppner on Saturday morning
to 60 to Corvallis to prepare to
keep house for her boy during the
school year and the sad intelligence
of his tragic death called her back
On Monday. The blow falls very
heavy here as he was the only child
Of the family and the idol of his
mothers heart.
Burial took place at his home
own on Tuesday afternoon.

MANY VALUABLE
HORSES DYING
Unnamed Disease Causing
Heavy Losses.

For some months past there has
been an unknown disease among
the horses of Morrow county, and
many of the farmers have beer suf-
fering heavy losses. The attention
of the State Veterinary has been
repeatedly called to the infection,
and he has made the county visit
of inspection, but has so far been
unable to suggest any relief or offer
a cure. It's presumed that he does
not know what the trouble is, and
it is well known fact that he has
not taken the trouble to find out.
In the meantime many good
animals have died. Charley Hus-
ton, of Eight Mile, is the heaviest
looser so far reported, and eleven
head OF his work animals have sue
combed. Emmet Jones, of Hepp-
ner Flat has already lost two head,
and his other horses are infected.
John Olden suffered the loss of his
fine imported Shire stallion, and
there seems to be a general infec-
tion of all the horses over the
county.
Assisted by a number of men,
DR.. Winnard killed and dissected |
one of the Jones horses on Tuesday |
and is going to make thorough |
test of the disease and determine
what it is and prescribe a remedy.
The brain, spine and lungs of this
horse are all diseased, the lungs
being entirely filed with puss cells.
The results of this investigation
will be made known later.

Some Press Comment

J. G. Ware, manager of Tully Bros.
Dairy, has proved conclusively that
dairying in Wallowa county is prof
liable. During the month of July Mr..
Ware sold $3.50 worth of cream, besides
supplying three families with milk
butter and cream. The only feed the
COWS had was the wild grass pasture in
the unceared laud along the river bot
tom. The herd consists of two, three
and four year old heifers, and has not
been fully selected as vet. The best
record was from one four-year. old which
netted $lS during July. Mr. Ware says
the cows will average $40 per month for
nine and one-half months each year.
They have registered bull and Mr..
Ware is confident that he will be able
to improve the herd so that the average
production per COW will be more than
$40 per month.-Rural Spirit.
