LID IS LIFTED AND STAMPEDE BEGINS

, All Indian reservations in the nine western states designated for min- eral exploitation were . thrown open Monday morning at 1 o'clock under the provisions of the senate act, and without further ceremony or procla- nation of the president.
 Word to this effect was received last night from interested mining men in the northern part of the state, and arrivals form the main line of the Santa Fe> yesterday state that the, law was understood to be in force. , Advices from different localities bordering on the Navajo and White Mountain reservation indicated that several hundred prospectors, miners and investors were ready to move into the promised land and in some cases the widest speculation was being indulged in wherein the ru- mancer held the cards in his hands
 No trouble was anticipated with h. dians, as all had been informed of the official action ordained to which they submitted without murmur.

 Would you have stayed there for ever if they had kept on feeding you?" asked Burges.
 And Wiercinski's reply: Certain ly,' which he gave in a convincing tone, provoked ripple of laughter.

(Mike) Cunningham prominent pioneer banker of Bisbee charged with kidnapping as the result of alleged connection with the I. w. w. deportations at Bisbee two years ago, was held this morning before Justice w. c. Jack. The evidence offered was without any startling phases and although the hearing proved to be one of the shortest of the several already held, the spectators showed little in tereSt except in the testimony given by George Wiercinski a native of Rus sia, who was one of the men deported.
 Wiercinski. small man with a big accent. was willing witness and was so eager to tell of his personal affairs before, during and after the deporta- tion that the prosecution and counsel for the defense were frequently forced to interrupt his testimony when it start ed getting too far from the main is sue.
 Wiercinski said he came to the United States from Russia in 1901 and, after staying in New York while went to work in coal mine in Illinois. He then went to Seattle, he said, but could not find any work that suited him. so proceeded to Jerome. Jerome also offered nothing in the way of en- ployment that interested him accord ing to the witness so he came to Bis bee about 1905 and lived there until the time of the deportation. Wiercin- ski said he has known Cunningham for more than 10 years He said he saw the banker riding in an automo- bile with several other men on July 12, 1917, the day of the deportations and, on being questioned as to what the defendant seemed to be doing, the witness stated emphatically that all he saw was Cunningham riding with the other armed men.

 worked in practically every shaft ill the Warren district and had been dis charged and re-employed more times than he had hairs in his head but in attempting to say this the witness knowledge of English grew hay and he had to repeat it several times before it was finally understood.
 
 worked in the mines in Bibsee until several days before the deportation when he had gone on strike. Did you belong to the union?'' asked Attorney Burges.
 Yes sir" answered the witness.
 What union?"
 The I. w. w." replied Wiercinski i The witness said he joined the l. i w. w. at the time of the strike and that he was then living in a cabin with one John Melnick, who he said was also a member of the I. w. w Since the deportations, however. he testified he had allowed his member ship in the 'Wobbliesr to expire.
 On being questioned as to how lona he remained at Columbus, New Mex 1 ico. where the deporters were taken Wiercinski replied sixty four days" Liked Free Board at Columbus Counsel for the defense asked hin if it were not fact that he could have left Columbus about eight days after the arrival of the deportees al that place Wiercinski admitted this but said that, although he had some money with him, he stayed at Colum huc as IOno aS he was given food an(

suS. This Is TO be accomplished by
using tax assessors as gatherers of
basic farm figures. About so states
have already passed laws requiring
assessors TO do this work, the returns
to be made to the state commissioner
of agriculture and to be checked up
by the state field agent Of the bureau
of crop estimates. In states where
such laws have been passed. they are,
for the most part, new and are not yet
fully in effective operation. The de-
partment of agriculture expects, how
ever, that similar laws will be passed
in all other states and the plan put in
complete effective operation through
out the United States within the next
five years.
"A great deal of work is being done,
also looking to closer cooperation be-
tween the federal department of agri-
culture and the state departments.
Such cooperation results in combining
the facilities of the two organizations
and using them for the Issuance of a
single monthly crop report for the
state inyead of two. Cooperative
agreements have been entered into in
Wisconsin. Ohio, Illinois. Iowa. Ne
braska. Missouri, Georgia. Alabama,
North Carolina. West Virginia. Arkan-
sas, Utah and Idaho. and are under
consideration in many other states.

In regions where potato production
Is specialized. mot0rtrucks are being
rapidly adopted for hauling even when
the distance TO the railroad siding is
relatively short. Twoton trucks are
popular for this purpose, and 100
bushels, or 5000 pounds. are common
ly taken at a trip. One business
like potato grower whose farm is four
miles from railroad states that he av-
erages five trips a day, hauling 100
bushels TO trip; that he uses the
truck little except during two
months shipping season; that his
haulage costs, allowing for interest.
repairs. storage, depreciating and
drivers wages. averages about $2.25
trip, or 2A cents a bushel. He
states that the haulage cost would be
notIceably reduced If he used the
truck over n greater period.
Five Trips Per Day.
He figures a ten-mile round trip,
three tons being carried in going. 1t
would be possible 70 make six trips a
