ONE OF THE PIONEER MEN ON
NEW EXTENSION OF MlLwAu-
kEE IN MYSTERIOUS DEATH

Spokane, Sept. 2s.-The body Of
William S. Greeley, conductor Of the
crack Milwaukee train, the Columbian.
was found on top of a refrigerator car
Of the train at 1880 o'clock tonight at
st. Joe, Idaho. It has not been de-
termined whether he was killed by ho-
boes whom he had elected from the
train, or died from natural causes. He
is understood to have been subject to
heart trouble.
When the train arrived at st. Joe
the hoboes were discovered and put of
the train. 1t was later discovered that
they had returned and Greeley went
after them. When he did not return
the brakemen went to look after him
and found his body on top of the car
The body is being held at st. Maries
Greeley was making his second run
into Spokane and was to have been
met here by his wife and her mother
Mrs. w. L. Jones. They were to have
started housekeeping soon.

modern methods Of seed selection and
cultivation adopted both the corn and

is stated upon good authority that the
nee county this season is several hun
bred acres in excess Of that Of last

Kaw Valley Potatoes.
Irish potatoes have always formed :
important crop in Shawnee county,
and the acreage devoted to this staple
crop has, steadily increased from the
early settlement Of the district. Al
though nearly every farmer raises
enough for his own use. the production
for market purposes has beep devel-
oped most extensively along the kaw
river bottoms. AS has been the case
with corn little attention has been
given to Improvement OF seed. Nine
tenths of the potatoes grown In the
county are Of the early Ohio variety.
Comparatively speaking there has been
little trouble experienced through the
ravages Of the potato beetle, although
it might be mentioned that these in
sects are showing up in some fields in
large numbers this spring. The fun
gus diseases that often hamper the
production in other localities have not
been a serious stumbling block. The
Kansas valley potatoes are famous for
their size and cooking ana keeping
qualities.

Corn the Main Crop.
Indian corn is and always has been
the main crop Of Shawnee county. 1t
was planted on the prairie land by the
early settlers. The fertile Kaw valley
IS naturally adapted to the growth of
corn, and excellent yields are frequent
" recorded. However, in many in
stances where corn has been planted
in the came fields continuously for
years the soil has become impoverish
ed. Little effort has been made to
improve the strains by seed selection.
although recently there has been some
awakening among the more prosper

ploy modern methods of seed selection
and are growing only improved varie-
