I'rUe Divided Between Yakima and Waitsburg MenAcreage Increase in Year I 400 Per Cent, . Say "Farmer" Smith. BY AI'DISON BENJSETT. COLFAX. Wash, Dec 3. (Special.) The tlrst porn ihow ever held writ of the Rocky Mountains cloned here today, therefore there, is 110 way to compare It with past fairs. For a first show It must bs admitted by the moat crltl eal that it surpassed the fondest bopca of Its promoter, the 0.-W. R. X. Com pany, or. mora properly. R. a. Miller, the traffic manager of that company, who for several years baa done every thins he could to fret the landowners to plant corn. How well he baa succeeded can best be understood by saying that it would be no misrepresentation to say that thin year there baa been grown in the section from which this show drew its exhibits at least-1 times as much corn as there was in Id and practically all of it of a better quality than any then Brown. That may be putting; the quality a little strong, but It is sure the average advance in quality has been almost 100 per cent. "Farmer Smith," of the O.-W. R. c X. Company, who was in direct charge of the show here, as he will be of the one to be held In Pendleton Friday, and Saturday, says that the Increased area planted tbis year over last year Is 490 per cent. That la in the territory t-erved by the O.-W. R. & X. Mr. Smith nays that this is not a haphazard guess but an estimate made after several months spent In visiting- the corn fleKla under his jurisdiction. Mora a Year Indicated. If that is not a cheering statement to the people of the Northwest, then It in hard to conjecture what would be one. Fractically every man who has tried corn this year, whether his field lias been 100 hills or several hundred acres, will plant more next year tban he did this, for be has fonnd It a pay ing crop In more ways than one. So next year thera win be few, if any. deserters from the corn growers' Tanks and thousands of additions. The prize of the exhibit happens to be two ears: a grower from the Yakima section and a grower from the Walts- burg- section brought identical ears, so far as scoring goes. The Judaea scored and scored again, but always it wai a tie. so the prize was divided. The two ears that took the grand sweepstakes prize at the Indiana State Corn Shows l.cld last year and this year were brought here for display and not for competition, but the judges- scored the Yakima and the Waitsburg ears three points above the Indiana ears; and the Indian.ins . have been raising com fot more than 100 years. Indiana is one of the great corn states, but less than a dozen years ago there was scarcely a corn field worthy the name In this nt or Oregon, assuredly none in Idaho. . ladiana Take Prlsea. And today In the 12-ear contest there wre r3 entries. Levi Fmtth. of Walts bur?, took the first prize and the sec ond, third and fourth prizes went to Indians of the Nex I'erce Reservation. thf ears bclns grown near Lapwal. "Farmer" Smith has an ear which hw himself plucked from a field near Nrth Yakima, which he says Is the most perfect ear he ever saw. Farmer s-'inlth has been interested In teaching awd precching agriculture, and partic ularly the growing of corn, for three decades. Consequently he knows what lie l talking about when he gi-ns the enr in his possession the premiership over every ear lie ever saw. There are III exhibitors and US ex hibits In the show. JOvery exhibitor fcnd, every visitor is plessed. so It Is surf next year's show will be a still Srf.ter success. The daddy of the show, so to speak, Mr. Miller. Is In town and well pleased with the beginning. So Joyful was lie that he gave a luncheon at the Hotel Colfax today to about 30 of the ex Mbitors. visitors, officials and newspapermen. CORN" PRIZES WORTH $1000 Many Farmers Carry Seed Home From Miow Held at Colfax. COLFAX. Wash., Dec. 5. Special.-) Prizes to the value of 11000 cash and many valuable farm implements were swarded at the Idaho-Washington Corn Show today. C. U Smith, agriculturist for the O.-W. R. & X". Company, said he found several neighbors within three miles of prize-winning corn who said, that be fore this exhibit was seen they would have said such corn could not be raised in the West. Many took small amounts c-f seed homo to try. Mr. Smith gave lectures on saving s-ed corn, how and when to plant and kind of corn for irrigated and non Irrigated land. O. C Adams, of Kndlcott. raised 50 bushels of popcorn on one acre. He raised the white rice corn and sold 150 worth at 5 cents per pound. SUNNYS1DE MAN PASSES AV.' P.

ACCIDENT. CAUSES TOLD WASIIIr.TO REPORT SHOWS MA CHINERY percentage; small of Labor Through Disability Deathi I Estlaaated at Sson.ooe Each Year. v OLYMPIV Wssh.. Dec. S. (Special.) Mechanical safeguards, which have been nrged strongly by enthusiasts to prevent industrial accidents, will ac complish comparatively little, accord - Tig to statistics gathered by the Wash- ii ton Industrial insurance commission. fter two years experience with the aw. Of the total number of accidents reported to the commission, a forth coming report will shorn-, only 30 per cent arc traceable to machinery and oniy rdoiii tu per cent of these, or I er cent of the total, could have been prevented by safeguard Installation. The human element of failure In some form the sliKht deflection bf an wielded by a workman or the tern porary lapse oy some memher of a gang carrying a heavy object, for xample is responsible for bv far the argest number of accidents, the statis. tics show. Another set of statistics shows, how ever, bow great is the need for ac cident prevention. The accidents re ported to the commission for the vear ending September 80, 19 1J. according to this report, caused an Industrial loss to the ststo of 13.817 work years. This estimate is made on the basis that each men killed or totally disabled would have been capable of rendering an average of 25 years of work but for his misfortune. To this total b been added the number of work days lost through temporary disabilities and Lproporlionate total for those whose earning power has been decreased through permanent partial disabilities. .If the men Injured were capable of earning an average of 1600 a year, the state's industrial loss through one year's accidents may be figured at more than $800,000. . . .

SENTIMENT IS SOUNDED Itenubiicuu Kxecutlvc In Atalenient Attacks Idaho Government and Says He Would Vms Krforts to Cut Down Taxc. BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 3. (Special.) Mayor Hodges, of Bois. is considering bcominc a Republican cnndldato for Oovarnor of Idaho and nas issuca a statement, the purpose of which, politi cians think. Is to ascertain how his candidacy would be taken over the tt. The Mayor attacks the state government as beina; top-heavy, and Hilars. tha.t should he become a can didate and be elected Governor, he would put forth efforts to lower taxes. His statement. In part, follows: vIt is rather early for candidates and at this time I do not care to commit myself definitely. However. I will say that I have received many solicitations from friends In different parts of the state to become a candidate for Oover nor. and the encouragement I have received is a-ratifylna-. regardless of what my decision may be. "Should I become a candidate, my candidacy will not be launched upon a sea of novel promises. ' Sui-h prom ises have not a;iven us a perfect state g-ovemment, nor lessened the burden of taxation, nor will they. "Our state government is top-heavy and we are going: from high to higher taxes all the while. With its numer ous costly commissions, it Is too cum bersome and. in my opinion, relief will be found only by cutting off some of these needless expenses. "As a candidate for Governor I would not promise to revolutionise the state, for without the co-operation of the Legislature any man who may be elect ed Governor is powerlNs to accomplish much In the way of reduclna- taxation. One thing I would do. though, would be to exercise the veto power vested In the Governor to the limit, and do the utmost to give the people relief.'" SALARY.
