State Statistician Talks to Hancock

County Assessors on Statistics

From Farmers

J. L. Peetz, statistician, who met with the assessors in this city impressed on them the importance of getting correct answers to the farm questions.

Heretofore these blanks have dealt in "futures," and have sought to find out what will be produced the coming year, instead of what was produced the past year. It was claimed, and with somie reasonableness, that these forecasts were taken advantage of by speculators to corner the market in certain products.

One thing which adds to the work of the assessors is the order to compile the statistics of each township in a statistical book, furnished for. that purpose by the state,

The state is making a real effort to ascertain the total farm acreage, the waste land, the woodland, etc. These totals will be of great value hereafter in furnishing a basis for the forestry service.

Of the sixty or more questions to be answered by each farmer, the following are important samples, the balance mainly referring directly to crops produced in 1909, and of grain, stock, poultry, eggs and butter, used sold or on hand:

Name (report either owner, renter, I manager, or agent, or name of farm. Total acres in farm as shown in I deed. (Acreage must not be duplicated by both owner and renter reporting it.) Acres drained—Natural, artificial.)

Number acres waste land unredeemable. Number acres waste land redeem-: able by dyking (whel-e redemption justifies expense.)

Number acres waste land redeemable by draining (where redemption justifies expense.)

Number acres woodland in pasture. Number acres woodland not in pas-j ture.

Number acres cleared land (do not report any waste land here.) Number acres in garden, buildings, etc. (Report all land in vegetables for family use.)

Number acres cleared land in pas-! ture. Number acres cleared land idle during1909, including roads, fences, etc.

Total acres all crops planted but 1 not harvested in 1909 because of fail-: ure.

Horses and colts on hand January 1, 1910. Mules on hand January 1, 1910.

It Saved His Leg.

Beef and stock cattle on hand Jan-1 nary 1, 1910. I Hogs over three months old on hand January 1,1910.

Sheep on hand January !, 1910.

WRITES OF BI6 SNOWSUDE

Greenfield Woman in Letter to Her

Sisters Tells of the Fatal

Castastrophe.

Mrs. Jessie Baldwin Adam, who recently went from this city to Leavenworth, Wash., to reside, writes her sisters, Margaret and Vernie, as follows, concerning the great snowslide: "I suppose you have read about the big snowslide up at Wellington in the Cascades. My, it was terrible and so many Leavenworth men and people in it. The stores here are all drapped in crepe. About thirty men and employes of the Great Northern, who lived here, were killed. No exact wTord could be obtained from the people up in the Canyon as the wires were down, and what word was received had to be brought down to Merritt, a little station this side of the Funnel. No one even knew where the Rotaries were as the slide bound them in on either side.' The men working on one of the Rotaries could hear and see slides all about them, and so they prepared to save themselves as best they could. They drew all the fire from the fire box and cooled it off and then, when they saw their time was near, they crawled into the box, and were dug from the slide alive. What do you think of that for coolheadedness?

Two men from here were up in the Canyon, looking at a house the were building and heard the Slide coming, and they ran with all their might and just did escape, but they were nearly eshausted. "Help has been sent to the people at Wellington from the westside, but there is six miles of track blockaded by slides and they are working from this side so that they can bring the dead and injured out. This is the first town, so all of the people will be brought here. "Yesterday sixty men offered assistance and took picks and shovels and went up into the canyon. The slides begin two miles from here, and Mr. Lee, a neighbor of ours, was up there yesterday and said the snow was piled up on the tracks as high as the telegraph posts. Think of it. There are in all 400 men working on this side to clear off the tracks and as many on the other side. Three miles of track were cleared yesterday. Four men from here tried going up to Wellington Wednesday and only one succeeded and he went in on skees. "One of the trainmen from here who was killed leaves a widow and six very small children. They just moved here from the South and she is nearly crazy. "Down town the day after the slide women were clustered about in little groups, all trying to hear whether their husbands were safe. This being the division point so many conductors, engineers and other railroad men ii\ here. This is the worst that has ever been known here and it is because of soft snows and rains we have had the past two weeks. Then the Chinook winds settle and melt the snow and

Ave

have had a great many

Chinooks. "Here in Leavenworth we have had nice weather and the chmocks are making the snow go quickly, bat while we are glad the snow is going down here, at the same time it makes things worse in the canyon. "As far as we are concerned we are in the valley so much hat a slide can not hit us if wo stay away from the canyon, which is about a mile from our house. We can see small slides on this side of the canyon but no houses are near. Just think, the Wellington slide was two miles long, fifty feet deep and forty-five minutes in passing. "Well, girls, I know you think we are in the mountains and we are, but no slide can hit us. High water cannot hurt us, as the banks are high, but we can hear the dam roaring like a dozen engines letting off steam. You may not hear from us soon, as we have had no communication with Seattle for several days, and only a few trains in from the East on account of high water and wash outs below, but we are perfectly safe. 'There is not a piece of pork in Leavenworth as it comes from Seattle but we have beef and plenty of other things."

The Lash of a Fiend

would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper of Oswego, N. Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. "It was most troublesome at night," he writes, "nothing helped me till I used Dr. King'8 New Discovery which cured me completely. I never cough at night now." Millions know its matchless merit for stubborn colds, obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, croup, whooping cough, or hayfever. It relieves quickly and never fails to satisfy.

OLD SOUTHLAND SEXTETTE

Gives First Number of Johnstown Lecture Course Before Large Crowd.

[From the Johnstown (Ohio) Independent, Nov. 11, 1909.

On Wednesday evening, Nov. 3rd, the first number* of the Johnstown Lecture course was rendered, and in a manner as to reflect credit upon those who secured the services of the Old Southland Sextette. They captured the audience with their first number and held it till the final drop of the curtain. Each one of the selections they offered was a "hummer" and each individual in the Sextette was a star. Any lover of good singing and music surely missed a great treat by not being there. The readings given by Mrs. DeKnight were given in a most pleasing way. The reader surely had her art well at her command. The program was fine in the superlative throughout,
