This is matter Of satisfaction, for

BELT RAILROAD.

Now that the holding Of Fair
and Live Stock Exhibit has been
decided on, the question Of trans
portation looms up as an import
ant factor in the equation Of its
success. This suggests real want,
long felt, in the carrying service OF
this city, and that is belt railway
around the city. A double service
OF this kind is needed. A steam
service and an electric one. The
first, to connect the several depots
and afford greater facilities for
shippers and carry the heavy
through freight traffic of the roads
around rather than across the city
and through its heart as at present.
This would greatly facilitate the
work Of the roads themselves and
relieve our streets of the heavy
burden entailed in crossing them
at Vulnerable points with the ever
increasing stream of freight cars
that roll through the city at all
hours. An electric belt system
is no less needed, to connect the
termini of the different electric
lines now doing rapid transit SER
vice in this city and circling the
suburbs connect them all along
one belt line with the heart of the
city as well as with each other
Such line in existence could be
made available for centering
the transit lines of the city
at any one point as occasion
offered and largely solving the
question Of transportation Of
gathering thousands in satisfac-
tory manner. Such belt line con-
Meeting Government Hill, Wash
ington Heights, Laurel Hill, West
End, Prospect Hill, Riverside Park
and thence to South Heights, over
Cemetery Hill and Dignowity Hill
to the starting point at Fort Sam
Houston, would place the entire
rapid transit facilities of the city
at the service of whatever assembly
there might be at any Of the great
centers Of such gatherings, wheth-
err at the grounds Of the Jockey
club, San Pedro springs, South
Flores street Fair grounds or Riv-
erside park. That such means Of
communication is necessity of the
future is not doubted, but the time
to arrange for it is now while so
much of the intervening ground is
not built upon and the right-of-
way question is easily disposed of.
Were such a system now in opera
ton there would be no question Of
transportation facilities to be con-
sidered in determining matters of
location and availability for the
coming fair.

Wages Are Being Increased,

What is this we see? An increase
OF workingmen's wages. Announce
ments come from all parts of the coun-
try that employers are voluntarily CIV
ing their employees more pay.
Among these encouraging items of
news is one to the effect that Thomas
Dolan & Sons, the great wooden man.
ufacturers of Philadelphia, Pa, have
granted their weavers Is per cent.
increase in wages. The Messrs. Do
Ian were among those who believed,
or at least represented. that Demo.
cratic tariff reduction would ruin their
business.
Other announcements are OF similar
tenor. For example, on the 4th inst,
the Globe iron works, of Cleveland,
Ohio, restored the old rate of wages,
amounting to raise of 10 per cent,
and on the same day the operatives of
the Washington mills at Lawrence
Mass, were notified that they would
receive an increase on the 9th inst.
In the Connellsville coke region H. C.
Frick, who has 1926 coke ovens in
blast, and w. ]. Rainey, another heavy
operator of that region, have advanced
wages voluntarily IL per cent, and
there has been an increase in the pay
OF Carnegie's working people. On the
LIST inst. the employees OF the wooden
mills at Andover, North Andover,
Haverhill and Franklin Falls, New
Hampshire, received the welcome no
tice that their wages would be in
creased 15 per cent, beginning on
that day. There have been numerous
notices to the same effect in other
parts OF the country, including vari-
GUS branches of industry, and even that
OF the prince of autocrats, Pullman,
but those given above are sufficient
to show the tendency towards in
creased wages under the Democratic
tariff.
Contrast this state OF affairs with
that which existed under the McKin-
ley tariff, when a reduction of wages
was the rule and labor disturbances
IN every branch Of industry were the
consequence, OF which the Homestead
trouble was a conspicuous example.
There cannot be shown a single case
OF increase of working peoples pay
under McKinley's protection"

A Pennsylvania cow rejoices in the
of wooden leg. Having
lost one of her supporters through a
railroad train, which cut it off below
the knee, veterinary surgeon took
the wounded animal in hand, and
through his skill and care her life was
saved. A cabinet-maker completed
the good work by manufacturing o
wooden leg that seemed to answer
every purpose; and, when tie stump
OF the leg healed, the artificial substi-
tute was successfully strapped on. At
first the cow persisted in hopping
along on three legs and holding the
injured one up from the ground; but
before long she grew tired of this, and
cautiously tried the wooden one. At
last accounts she was doing very we'll
with it, although going about with a
decided limp; and she has the proud
distinction of being the only COW in
the world with wooden leg.

chimes, and an accident happened that
shows how very safe they are. When
left him, as l just now did you, he
struck across the river for the house
and while over the water felt slight
snap and saw that the bicycle was de-
scending instead Of rising. One oil
the tiny nuts at the rear stay had
worked loose. and this set the rear o.
the spindle free, and he could not rise.
Calling to me, he did all he could, and
struggled to the bank over there 10y
the cut, but found that they had Just
fired the brush, and there was no
place for him to land. While he was
making up his mind to drop into the
river, l came along behind, saw what
was wrong, caught hold of the loose
rod and the horizontal support, and
working my own machine. had him
lean right back on his. and so passed
high and safe above the fame and
smoke. You never saw a man so
tickled with anything. 1t is almost
impossible to have an accident if you
don't throw yourself off.
"The bicycle is not yet perfected,
although, with patent varnishes, new
cloths and new styles of goring them,
/ have produced balloons which will
last for years instead of months. My
aim is to provide a suitable motor to
drive it. Then it will be a machine
indeed! You remember that in the
Franco-Prussian war balloons were
used for spying purposes and the con-
veying of letters, and that the Prus-
slams had to make special guns with
which to shoot at them? Do you re-
member that only one or two of the
balloons were ever hit, although they
were totally at the mercy of the wind
currents?
"Well, suppose / get a motor for
the bicycle, and, coming from ten
miles away at an altitude of 1000 feet,
do you think anything in the shape of
gun would be likely to hit me? Sup
pose, too, that l sail over fleet or an
army with half dozen dynamite
cartridges hung on to the horizontal
shaft, properly weighted, to drop and
strike the ground with the business
end; suppose one or two are cut loose
by me at that height, what would

A terrible riot occurred at Siberia,
Ferry county, Indiana, on the 4th, be-
tween the German Catholics and per.
sons opposed to their religion. More
than thousand persons were engaged
in the fight. Three men are dead,
four fatally hurt, fifty seriously injured.
On the Fourth the German Catholics
turned out to enjoy great picnic in
the woods surrounding the village.
The entire population turned out and
all went smoothly enough until sew
eral gangs of disturbers appeared On
the scene and began to make trouble.
There were number OF booths on the
grounds where intoxicants were served.
These were literally patronized by the
intruders, who soon began to insult
the Germans and their wives.
The priest who was present coun-
seled his people to avoid trouble and
pay no attention to the jeers of the
half drunken marauders. Mistaking
this tolerance for cowardice, the in
truders became bolder and soon pre-
cipitated fight, which in a few
moments assumed the proportions Of
a desperate riot, in which everybody
took part. Clubs, chairs and beer
bottles were brought into play and
the peaceful picnic was Immediately
transferred into a mass of struggling,
cursing men and screaming women.
Sam Wilson, a leader of the out
siders, was armed with a huge knife
with which he stabbed and cut many
persons. He was finally opposed by a
sturdy German who was more than
a match for him, until Wilson plunged
the knife into his neck. As the man
fell back his wife sprang through the
crowd and dealt Wilson a terrible
blow with beer bottle, crushing his
skull. During the melee one of the
intruders kicked a woman about to
become a mother, killing her child,
and fatally injuring her.

VashOn Island.
Post Intellinger.

| fobt lntelllIgcr.
| Lying between Seattle and Tacoma
and washed by the waters of Puget
Sound, Vashon island, with its $4,000
acres of fertile soil and climate which
is tempered by the sea surrounding it
will certainly in course of time become
one OF the most valuable regions in
the Northwest. From the Sound the
island appears to be much broken by
ravines, but an examination Of the
interior shows that it contains large
areas that are level. 1t is said that OF
the whole area of the island not 1000
acres are unfit for cultivation. 1t is
we'll watered and some of the valleys
are exceptionally fertile. When the
island has been cleared the view from
all parts of it will be unsurpassed, for
the Cascade and Olympic ranges will
be in full sight from all but those por-
ton which lie close to the water. The
adaptability of the island for fruit
culture is we'll known, the season be-
ing somewhat earlier than on the
mainland. 1t is needless to say that
grasses and clover thrive and that the
island may become in time quite noted
as. a dairying section. Owing to the
favorable conditions it is liberal to es-
innate upon farms averaging not more
than twenty acres, which means that
fully thousand farms can he located
on this island. With higher cultiva-
ton than is now practiced this average
area could be reduced. 1t is probably
not unreasonable to estimate that
1900 fruit and dairy farms can be
located here. This reference to Vashon
island is made for the purpose OF draw
ing attention to the great resources of
the Sound country.
The island of Jersey, which lies in
the British channel and has given its
name to special breed of cattle, has
an area of 2S,7l7 acres. Its resident
population is $4,000 and it has visit
ing population every summer OF co.
600. 1t is the home OF much wealth,
culture and refinement. We may not
expect the conditions existing in the
island of Jersey to be reproduced on
any of the islands OF the Pacific North
west for many years to come. Time is
needed for the development of such
conditions as exist in Jersey. There
are tracts OF gravelly land on Vashon
island and other places in Western
Washington which in time will be
picked over to get rid of the larger
stones and will be enriched by plough
ing in clover, so that areas now re-
garded as OF co mparativsly little value
will be made as productive as the rich.
est soil now available. But long before
this stage has been reached we will
see all along the Sound country long
stretches of highly cultivated farms
and homesteads, showing that they
are centers of thrift and refinement.
Only those who have gone out into the
country to see it for themselves can
form any conception of the agricultural
and horticultural possibilities of the
islands and mainland of Puget Sound.
