Mr.. Sherman discussed workmen's
compensation acts and systems ut
length. He declared himself opposed.
after investigation. to state insurance
in any form, to the election OF officers
having to deal with enforcement of all
such acts, and in favor Of having any
law for compensation exclusive in Its
nature so as to be complete substi-
tute for all other laws on the subject
OF compensation.
He discussed. however. more than
anything else. the system Of admins
tration and he pointed out the great
danger OF having boards and commits
sions become political machines In case
1t is left to a board to decide as to the
amount of compensation. He would
have the courts determine the amount
Of compensation.
Mr.. Sherman appeared before the
commission on invitation to furnish In
formation as to many points about
which very little Is known here. He Is
an expert on the subject. He has pre-
pared briefs which were furnished the
federal commission on some phases OF
the subject and these will be used by

did not enter the territory In the cam

and the northern counties his stamp

many connected Senator Allen. OF

Allen much benefit from the mistakes
of identity due to the lack of familiar
ity with the candidates for office.
In Page county Senator Allen was

great majority are normally progress

Chassell over Allen. This fact, Chas-

Chassell is the winner.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD.

Crop prospects are pronounced the
best In years by agricultural experts.
The Des Moines Register and Leader
publishes the following interviews
giving expert opinion on crop condi-
tions:
Charles F. Curtiss. dean of the divi.
sion Of agriculture Of the Iowa state
college says:
"The season Is opening about week
late owing to the heavy snow and the
prolonged cold. The soil conditions,
however, are ideal according to this
scientist. The fall sown grains as we'll
as the meadows and pastures have
wintered in good form. The unusually
heavy snow falls resulted in an ample
supply of moisture. This has been
augmented by late rains. Soil and
climatic conditions promise to be as
good as they have ever been. Rains
have retarded blowing and corn plant
ing, but not seriously" r.
A. w. Eberhart. division freight
agent Of the Rock Island Is quoted as
follows: -.-.
'The situation can be summed up In
a very few words as one Of the best in
the history of this state. The conditions
for a stupendous crop of grain never
were more radiant. Pastures are look
ing fine and the reflection of these con-
ditions well be felt in the meat and
dairy supplies"
J. w. Turtle, travelling passenger

agent for the Union Pacific gives this

agent for the Union Pacific gives this
optimistic forecast:
81 have been over the state a great
deal during the last five weeks and
have come in contact with men direct
ly and indirectly interested in agricul-
ture. l never have known so bouyant
nor so enthusiastic tone to prevail
as regarding the crop outlook of the
present season. In all the states along
our line in the west the ground, &C.
cording to the reports get, Is In fine
condition and the promises of bumper
crops are of the most encouraging
description. During January and Feb
ruary there was snow on our territory
almost continuously, which insures
plenty of moisture especially in the
wheat belt. Kansas promises the
largest wheat yield in years. The
same is true of grain in Nebraska,
Iowa and in Wyoming, where dry farm
ing is practiced."
H. NJ. Cotterell, agricultural COM
missioner for the Rock Island lines
says:
"The crop conditions in the states
served by the Rock Island are excep-
tionally good. The prospects are the
best they have been for years. Even
in the dry farming districts the mois-
ture extends to depth of five or six
feet owing to the heavy SHOWS and
rains. The winter wheat Is some
what damaged in some of our Nebraska
territory and the seeding of all spring
crops is late, but the conditions Of the
soil are such that few warm weeks
will overcome this difficulty. Kansas
and Oklahoma will have record-break-
ing crops this year."
VIII Clapper, division freight agent
of the Wabash, says:
winter wheat in our field is in fine
condition with a full average acreage.
The ground is right for spring blowing
and between the Missouri river and
the mountains the ground is In good
condition, owing to the SHOWS of the
winter and the spring rains which fol-
