Cooper and Keller Dead.
Chandler Thought Nor

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-Two killed
and another injured, probably fatally
marked the initial 300-mile automobile
derby on the new mile speedway here
Saturday afternoon. Ralph De Palma
was winner, Ralph Milford second ana
Eddie ODonnell third. The time was
3:28:52.
Joe Cooper was killed on the 3Sth lap
of the race, when his car sailed over
the outer edge OF the bowl as he was
nearing the grandstand and fell outside
with Cooper and his mechanician, Louis
Piel. pinned underneath the wreckage.
The second accident came near the close
of the race when, in the 238th lap, Billy
Chambers car crashed against the inside
rail almost opposite the point where
Cooper had met his death,
Morris S. Keller, Chambers mechanl
elan. was said to be in the more serious
condition of the two, and at the hospital
his death occurred at 8 p. m. Chandler
has less than an even chance for recoy-
cry. according to the physicians. Piel,
victim OF the first accident, was also
reported to be in critical condition,
with prospects poorer than the Others.

accident and his death was virtually in
Simultaneous. Chandler went into con-
vulsions while being taken to the hos
pital where it was found that he sui
fered broken left hip and internal in
luries.
in both accidents, tire blowouts were
ascribed as the cause, although in the
case OF Cooper broken steering knuckle
was said to have been the immediate
reason for his loss of control. After
striking outside the track the car crashed
into the end of the grandstand. Officials
said Cooper was going 100 miles an
hour.
The race itself was full of thrills, aside
from its tragic features. For most OF
the 800 miles it was nip and tuck be-
tween De Palma. Milford and O'Don
nell, the former keeping the lead most
of the time. In the last Is miles, how
ever. he developed run of bad luck with
his tires which threatened to lose him
first place but he forged ahead in the
last three miles and crossed ahead of
milford. So close were the two leaders
that the Judges for several minutes We're
divided as to who had won. The first
announcement was that milford was the
victor, but this was changed and the
official announcement gave De Palma the
prize.

Boston, Aug. Ex-Governor Walsh an
nounced Saturday night that he would
be candidate for denomination for a
third term. He seeks Office again, he
says, to give the voters an opportunity
to approve of his work. Former Con-
gresham Frederick S. Deitrick Of Cam

candidate for the Democratic nomina :
ton. Governor Walsh's statement fol-
lows:
81 have delayed making any announce
ment of my candidacy for denomination

mary election because of the fact that !
have been much troubled at the great
physical strain my service in four an
nual campaigns and my duties as govern.
or OF the commonwealth have entailed.
have given days and nights, not only to
the performance of the duties OF the office
Of governor, but also to the work OF GO
ing among the people and meeting and
discussing with them public questions
With the hope of interesting them in the
important problems of state government.
Ali this has resulted at times in much
physical exhaustion and OF late | have
often wished that the burdens and re-
sponsibilities OF the policies that | have
stood for might be taken by some other
member Of my own political party in
sympathy with my views.
"But ! also appreciate the fact that
my party accc,-.ed me as its candidate
for governor when IL did not especially
need my particular service. To decline
to be a candidate now might appear to
be denying it my experience and serv-
ice.
"The solicitation of many within and
without my own political party to be-
come a candidate impels me to overlook
the personal equation and ] feel it my
duty to the people of the state, as well
as to the Democratic party, by both OF
whom / have been so signally honored,
to once more become a candidate in or
der that | might give my fellow citizens
an opportunity to approve OF the work
which / have tried to do and that /,
profting by the experience which they
have made possible, may further pro-
mote the great progressive and humani-
tartan measures consistently advocated
by me and which time has made me most
devoted to and more than ever DESTROYS

MARKETING OF FARM TIMBER.
Forest Service Says Ignorance of Wood
lot Course often Costs Dearly.

The marketing of farm timber pre-
sents some OF the same difficulties. but
in an aggravated form. that the farmer
meets in selling other crops, says for
est service contribution to the Year
Book OF the department OF agriculture,
lust issued. The farmer finds il hard
20 get enough for his timber. Most
farmers now sell their saw timber on
the stump TO a mill man, such sales
ordinarily being made for a lump sum.
The mill man, experienced in estimating,
goes through the woods I'D sizes up the
quantity and value OF the timber he
wants. The owner, being a farmer and
not a lumbermaD, seldom knows any
thing about estimating timber and has
only the vaguest idea OF what il ought
TO bring. The consequence Of this con.
dition is that the farmer often receives
only small fraction Of the actual mar
ket value of his stumpage.
Astonishing examples OF what a farm
er may thus throw away are often en-
countered by forestors, continues the ar
ticle. For instance. Massachusetts,
farmer sold a million feet Of timber 20
q portable sawmill man for 81 200, and
thought he bad obtained = good price.
HE neighbor however, who knew some
thing about timber, got 5000 for the
same quantity Of white pine from the
very same portable man. The hrst
farmer. on account of his ignorance.
practically presented the mill man with
s. 500: the second owner was wise
enough 10 learn before he attempted 70
sell his timber how much be had and
what il ought 10 bring him in money.
The productive capacity 81 the 200
million acres Of farm lands throughout
the country which either have or should
have timber growing on them is euof-
nous. says the article. This area b
