Southern Farmers Also Need to Di-.
yersify.

4 s - s (. 3
The farmers of Runnels County,
Texas, We're on the verge Of starva
ton. They had been depending almost
wholly upon cotton, and three out Of
four crops had failed. Scores Of IA
miles wanted to leave the county, but
were too poor to move. Conditions
got to be so desperate that the plant
ers met at Ballinger, the county seat,
to devise plan for keeping the wolf
shooed away till another cotton crop
could be grown. Yet they still held
fast to the one-crop idea. They did
not see King Cotton as a tyrant-
they blamed the droughts and clung
to the forlorn hope that their next
crop would be big one. But some
thing happened TO them at that meet
ing. A farmer from the northern
edge Of the county got up and told
the crowd that, though he had not
given up cotton entirely, he was MAX
ing as much money out Of wheat and
poultry as he had ever made out Of
cotton. He was also raising cattle
and hogs enough for his own meat
and a good vegetable garden was
keeping down his grocery bill. Diver
sication of crops, he urged, was the
only salvation for the average cotton
grower. His story was received with
enthusiasm, and every man in the au-
dience went home and told it to all
the neighbors.> That was two years
ago. Last year the farmers of Run
nels County made money. The cot
ton crisis did not hurt them seriously.
They grew 10000 acres Of grain as
compared with 100 acres in 1907. Be-
fore the awakening their poultry
amounted to almost nothing; this
year it is valued at 100000, or one
fifth as much as they got for last
years cotton. Of course conditions
vary different localities, but what
these Texans have done for them
selves through Investigation can be
done to a large extent by fully one

The city Of Crookston aspires
and claims to be the leader among the
towns of the Red River Valley in

ress and development in farming, in
education, in religious and social af-

Crookston papers one will get the i'm
preston that the city has aligned it.
self with the saloons, the buns and
the lawless element. Now we know
that there are many, very many, most
excellent people in Crookston and we
do not believe that the newspapers
there correctly voice public sentiment
as it exists. It behooves the good
people Of Crookston to remove the
stigma cast upon the city's fair name
by the newspapers by rolling up big
vote against the liquor interests at
the election next Monday. Crookston
freed from brewery and saloon con-
tamination and control will be bet
ter and more prosperous town, and
justly entitled to be called the Queen

Gold Prospects Near Anchorage

The Cook Inlet Pioneer of July tells of stampede to Lewis river, lying between the Susitna and Beluga rivers, which was induced by reports of placer gold strikes. The facts regarding the discovery are that Sam Wagner and Chittick, both old-tlmers in the Susitna country, found a little pay on Lewis river, about mile above the point where small strike was reported two years ago. Wagner and Chittick also say they found coarse gold on the stream two miles above where they made the recent find. They are working with a rocker that yields them about 75 cents each per hour The country is a likely one for prospecting, although it is said there are too many boulders on Lewis river for dredges. Ru mors have been ahoat for some days about a strike on Peters creek, but dlligent in quiry elicited the fact that while some coarse gold has been discovered, nothing that can be called pay gravel has been re- vealed as yet. Coarse colors have been found on Ship creek, but nothing of impor tance has yet been discovered.

FAIRBANKS, July 22-The corpse of Mrs w. E. Rowe well known business woman of Olnes, was found on Tuesday morning last between 4 and , o'clock Wlthn few feet of the railroad track near Little Eldorado station. Her face was hammered into shapeless mass by blows from club. For two feet at the lower end this club was smeared with blood flesh and hair, present ing a sickening sight.
 Around the corpse the bushes were blood bespattered and the ground trampled down to some extent, giving proof that struggle had ensued between the murderer and the woman, who had fought desperately for her life. Robbery probably was the motive.
 The country is being secured for the murderer by Marshal Erwin and his depu- ties who are following every clue that pre- sents itself in the effort to apprehend the fend
 Story of the Crime
 For some time past Mrs. Rowe had been preparing to go Outside, and she went to Chatanika on the auto car Monday night 10 collect some outstanding accounts due her. She formerly was in the restaurant business at Olnes, and later took over James Trainor's little store and at one tune she conducted the White House restaurant. At the time of her death she was proprietor ot a general store in the process of being closed up by her before quitting business.
 After seeing several people at Chatanka, she ate supper at Mrs. Bookers restaurant, and then started for Olnes walking down the tracks alone. Rumor had It that she had told in Brookers restaurant that she was carrying large sum of money, but Mrs. Booker denies that she said anything about her money, although 1t was known that she was collecting at Chatanlka.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock she passed Little Eldorado station Mrs Grossbush, who lives near the tracks and conducts a laundry, was aroused from sleep and got up in time to see Mrs. Rowe reach the tracks agaln and resume her walk to Olnes. She watched Mrs Rowe consult little gold watch she carried, and herself noticed the time ot night. At that time 1t was almost as light as day.
 This was the last seen of the murdered woman alive. About , o'clock Tuesday morning q Russian going out to Chatamka to hunt work reached Little Eldorado, hay ing walked directly from the city, and awoke M. G. Loefer who keeps general store there. Judge Loeher as he IS known, answered the summons, and John Butotf told him that he had passed the body up the tracks. Loefer dressed and went to the scene. He found Mrs. Rowe's body lylng at the lower end of the Lower aklma As. sociation claim, within fifty feet Of one Of the roofess cabins that remain on the ste of former mining operations. She was lying extended full length, just across the small ditch along the lower side of the track, her arms carefully placed back of her head. Her head lay in a small depression. The mur-

WOMAN BRUTALLY
 MURDERED AT 0LNES

derer in all probability had hidden around the small cabin, and as she passed, stole up behind her She likely saw or heard him and stepped off the tracks to the right-ot- way, where he attacked There was evidence of struggle.
 Judge LoeAer telephoned to United States Commissioner Sam Weiss at Chatanika, and Deputy Marshal Peter McMullen, sta toned there.
 The officials took the auto car leaving Chatanika and upon reaching the scene made an examination of the body. Marshal Erwin was notified and he prepared to leave for the creeks.
 Teddy Knutson, a brother of Mrs. Rowe, who worked on Little Eldorado, was also notified, and he hastened to the scene. He was not visited by his sister on the evening she was at Chatanika, and had not known she was there.
 Robbery Probably the Motive
 The dead woman wore nugget chain around her neck and also a bracelet, but Judge Loeher did not see her watch or purse At Olnes it is stated that Mrs. Rowe Twas known to carry large sums of money Iround with her and that several persons had seen as much as S1, 900 or $500 which she had displayed on different occasions Marshal Erwin Dr. Cassels and Chief Dep uty J. H. Miller left for the scene at 3 o'clock, reaching there about noon. After making search the body was taken to Chatanika for the inquest. The primitive methods used by the mur- derer seem to indicate that he was either q maniac or that he had used great cunning in his methods. It is believed there may be some relation established between the recent murder of Alice Aster and the more recent crime.
 Marshal Erwin and Deputy McMulien entered Mrs Rowe's store and room at i Olnes and found the contents were turned topsy -turvy A trunk was opened, suit case was opened and disturbed, the drawers of dresser were open and the contents scattered, and there was strong indication that someone other than Mrs. Rowe had been in the place.
 i Chief Deputy Miller found Sl,00O in money It was not especially well hidden She no doubt had several hundred dollar: more than this, and it may have been this money that the murderer was after when he killed her on the railway tracks.
 Coroner's Verdict | The coroners investigation took place yesterday and today, and verdict was ren dered to the effect that Mrs Rowe came tc her death at the hands of person or per sons unknown.
 Theodore Knutson, brother of the mur. dered woman has been appointed admins trator of her estate, which Is valued at about S2 ,00O. $1 900 of which is in money
 The funeral will take place tomorrow.

Dredue for Ruby

Walter Johnson of the Union ConstruC- ltion Company closed contract for the con struction of three and three quarters cubic feet dredge for the Ruby section today, says khe Nome Nugget of July g, The new gold digger will be of two thousand yards ca pacity, and will be equipped with two en- zines of the steam type, which are new departure in the line of power production and probably will result in a great reduc- ton in the cost of dredge operation. The new engines are what as known as the Wolf locomobile type, and are said to burn but four cords of wood per twenty-tour hours operation. When it is considered that the dredges of the came capacity m operation in this section consume seven and half tons of coal per twentyfour hours operating, which is equal to fifteen or more cords of wood the great saving in this type of motive power becomes readily apparent The engines in use are mounted directly on top of the boilers and a great part of the saving is accomplished through using super heated steam.

ALASKA PRISONER ESCAPES
 FROM DEPUTY MARSHAL

SEATTLE, July 20-While Frank Bach, deputy United States marshal from Doug. las, Alaska, sat patiently outside the door ot a stateroom on the Mariposa early yester- day morning, Robert Dupee, his prisoner, who was en route to McNeill island for a seven years sojourn, clambered out ot porthole, boarded an automobile and de parted. leaving Mir. Bach wondering over such depths of ingratitude. Dupee was con victed of shooting at a woman with intent to kill
 A search was made all day yesterday by police, deputy sheriffs and United States deputy marshals, but Dupee could not be found. The driver of the automobile ln which Dupee made his escape says that he carried the man to Argo station, just south of the city. Johnson thought that Dupee was a passenger from the boat who was in hurry to reach Argo. He evidently was, say the police Dupee came down from Alaska in charge of Deputy Marshals Bach and J. M Baxter. Baxter had gone to make inquiry about the boats to McNell island when Dupee made his escape. Dupee was seen later in Georgetown, where he IS thought to have mother and two brothers.
 Dupee was a model prisoner all the way down on the Mariposa according to Deputy Marshal Bach, who feels pained to think that his prisoner escaped when almost within sight of his destination after the long tourney He sat on the sunny side of the ship and figured out on paper how much he could cut down his time at the federal penitentiary by good behavior, and had It calculated down to hours declares MT.
