for the pinioned foot he probably
would have tried to escape and been
overwhelmed by a rush of earth. AS
1t was, he could not leave the spot
and the planks overhead allowed the
dirt to fall but gradually.
This falling dirt, according to half
a dozen broken sentences he spoke
before doctors ordered him to keep
silent, was Skusik's greatest trouble.
In the darkness he could not see
whether he was menaced by possible
bigger falls. and as dirt sifted through

time, he frantically brushed it away.
He dared not sleep for fear more

EXPECT ENORMOUS YIELD.
Farmer Experts Believe GalIatin Val
ley Winter Wheat Crop Will Aver
age 80 Bushels an Acre.

Bozeman.-According to the esti-
mate of farmers and agricultural ex-
perts who have travelled extensively
over the Gallatin valley the past week,
the winter wheat crop of this country,
which is the principal wheat growing
section of Montana, will be enormous
this season and should average about
80 bushels to the acre. The winter
wheat, which is now developing along
between the blossoms and the milk
stage, will be a little late, and there
will be few, if any, fields entered by
the harvester before about Aug. 10.
There is an immense acreage locally
of spring wheat, developed to the stage
where it is forming heads, but most
of it far later. This is particularly
true of about 10000 acres where win
ter wheat was destroyed by the cut
worn and where spring wheat was
planted late. The cold, wet weather
has proved somewhat of a handicap
for the spring grain in some localities,
although in others the rain in early
July supplied moisture that was badly
needed.

MANS SHORT TERM OF LIFE
In Comparison With Other Animals
He Does Not Nearly Live Out
His Allotted Time.

A rule which holds fairly true among
the higher animals is that an animal
lives five times as long as it requires
for his muscular system to reach its
full strength. The dog is fully devel-
oped at between two and three years
Of age, and lives fifteen years: the
horse reaches his prime not later than
five, and if he escapes overwork and
Ill usage, lives to be twenty-five and
even thirty. In fact, the rule seems to
be an understatement of animal ex-
p%ectation Of life, rather than an over
statement
The n conspicuous exception is
man, who seldom reaches his full mus
cular strength before he is twenty-five
and counts himself living on borrowed
time If he passes the age Of seventy.
If man were as well circumstanced in
this matter as the horse, dog or cat,
his average term of life would vary
from one hundred and ten to hun
dred and twenty-five years.

BOARD TO DECIDE QUESTIONS.
State Industrial Accident Committee
to Solve Problems Relating to
Hazardous Occupations.

Helena.-The state industrial acct
dent board has had a number of ques-
tons propOunded to it as to whether
certain occupations come under that
clause of the state compensation law
relating to hazardous occupations.
One is whether a policeman does, an
other whether a prisoner working on
a chain gang does, and a third whether
that of a messenger boy is hazardous.
The board has made a tentative rul-
ing t hat policemen do not come within
the purview of the compensation act,
not that the employment is not haz-
ardous. but that they are officers and
not employees.
Chain Gang Question Unanswered.
The chain gang question has not
been answered. 1t is believed they
are subject to the provision of the
compensation act. AS they receive
no money for their service it is hard
to determine the basis on which their
compensation should be fixed in case
of accident.
Chairman Spriggs put up to Attor-
ney General Poindexter the matter of
what should be done with something
more than 100 policies of employees
under the workmen's compensation act
who are not engaged in hazardous oc'
equations as defined by the law.
