WASHINGTON, March 28. — “Our | great wheat fields along the northern | border are refusing to grow wheat. | sand James Wilson, Secretary of Agri- | culture, to-day. ‘““And unless Ameri- can farmers change their method of growing this product there wiil be a | large increase in the price of bread- | stuffs. The evil day canhot long be postponed, notwithstanding the' fact | that the famers of the Northwest be- lieve they have solved the problem by ! : permitting their lands to lie fallow for 'one year and thus growing a crop of wheat every other year. !" At present the average production ( of wheat to the acre is eight bushels, while in Europe the farmers grow thirty. Last year the American wheat ' crop was sickly, and this indicates that | ' the land refuses to grow wheat any | , longer on a profitable basis. In order to save the wheat fields of the United | States we have sent an expert to the | northern part of Norway and Sweden | to find legumes which will grow in cold ! climates. If the wheat farmers of the ! Northwest éxpect to grow wheat at a | . profit they must rotate their crops. At | present we have no leguminous plants | which will grow in the Northwest that | can be rotated with wheat. | “With a continued decreafe in the | yield in the Northwest the farmers of ! Towa, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska | will begin to grow wheat again, but | they will not do so until they can get; at least a dollar a bushel for {t.” <+ NEW TORKERS 0 “HEELED” “Bat” Masterson Says Every | | Ten Cent Dude in the Metropolis Carries a “Gun” SRR NEW YORK, March 28.—William B.

Masterson said he hoped to make a | good record in his new place. Inci-| dentally he expressed the opinion that there is more carrying of conceaied weapons in New York than in the West. Said he: | Out where I come from a man does not | carry a gun unless he wants to use it. Out thers the game ls 10 leave your gun at home.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 28.—If Mrs. Chadwick is sent to State Prison within the next month she will be as- signed to cell 9 in the female depart- ment, which she will share with Anna Wilson, a four-year prisoner sent from Dayton for pocket-picking. All are required to live two in a cell one now without a cellmate. Mrs. Chadwick will be measured by the Bertillon system as soon as re- ceived and photographed for the “‘Rogues’ gallery.” She will be searched | and stripped of her fine apparel and given the prison garb of blue and white cglico for weekdays and black flow- eéred sateen for Sunday. If she has any mdney it will be taken by the Warden and kept for her. She may spend $1 a week, but no more. At 6 a. m. each day she will rise and prepare for her day's work. Her daily task will be four hickory shirts a day for the male prisoners- An hour’s rest at noon and a half<hour at | 8 o'clock is all she will get. At 5:30 o’clock she may quit work if the four shirts are finished. She will sew by hand. Supper comes at 6§ o'clock; then | she will be locked in her cell.

He died instantly. Bowers was subject to epileptic fits. About a year; age he was sent to Stellacoom Asylum, but was released at the earnest solici- tation of friends. Before committing the deed Bowers | discussed its advisability with his wife and told her that it was best for him to kill himseif, as he was afraid that in one of his spells he might kill her | and their eight children. He took down | the rifle and commenced to lvad it, and | the poor woman ran out to call neigh- | bors. Before she had gone many yards ! she heard the report of the rifle. i FOLLS A PLOT 10 BREAK JAIL LOS ANGELES, March 25.—Acting | on information which he had received. | Under Sheriff Yonkin to-day frustrated { what might have been a very success- tul ail break by searching the ceil oc- | cupied by Charles Schmidt, a prisoner | under sentence of eight years for bur- glary. His search revealed a dozen | steel saws. a small bottle of nitric acid, another of hydro-chloric acid, a small pair of wire clippers and a coil of win- dow sash cord. Schmidt is being held in the county jail on a two weeks' stay granted by the trial court pending his being taken to the penitentiary. With the material, which had been furnished him by some | visitors, he would have been able to| cut his way to liberty in a short time, and he probably would have liberated a large numbar of other prisoners. SHOOTING ENDS N A LONG FEOD | RENO, March 28.—Joseph Reynolds was shot and perhaps fatally wounded | this morning by Harry Butts. Butts | made his escape, but during the day went to the Shegiff's office and sur-| rendered. He is being held pending | the outcome of Reynolds’ injuries. | The shooting so far as can be learned is the result of a long feud. Whiie | Reynolds was overseeing his gambling | games Butts called him to the side-: walk. An argument followed and then | the shooting. Reynolds was shot through the leg, so close to the knee joint that amputation will be neces- | sary. It is thought his physical con- dition will not withstand the operation. | The affair has caused conaldeublei BROKERS' AGENTS AFTER VALLEJO WATER BONDS | excitement among the gambling fra- ternity because of the prominence of the persons concerned.

While the officers were attempt- | ing to locate an opium den iIn New Chinatown they heard cries coming from an outbuilding in a vacant lot three blocks away.

A Chinese living in a neighboring hut said that the woman had been con- fined in the hut for at least a month and had been placed there because a devil was in her. He said she had been given but a few scraps to eat. She was taken to the county jail and cared for.
