Plant beans ON newly set out groves

most money in both cassava and beans

cept horses) and can earnestly recon-
mend those who have experience of
stock raising to 90 into this business. l
am sure they will reap rich reward
BY selling both crops Off you are i'm
poverishing your land; whereas, by
soiling, you get an immense quantity
of manure, and so largely help to
maintain and improve the fertility OF
your land.
During my ten years experience OF
Florida, this is the first real Opportu-
nifty for farmers. Here you have a
market for cassava' right at your
nearest depot, with the pledge OF a
check by first mail after receipt OF
your car load no commission, no
freight charges, no hauling charges,
etc.
Through Tx: kindness of Mr.. B. Rem
mers of DeLand, l have been furnish
ed with particulars as to cost and
working expenses of casSava factory.
For certain reasons | cannot publish
these details, but will be glad to give
the information privately to any one
interested.
A factory should be near or on the
railroad, and an abundant supply Of
good water is absolutely necessary.
A plant and building will cost from
$1,000 to $4,000 depending on re-
quired output, say from five to twenty
tons of roots per day, and working
100 days per year, will leave a net
profit of over % per cent. on the capt.
tai invested. Now why can't the
farmers of Lake county cooperate
and establish a factory next summer
at some central place. Surprising 12O
were to combine and each subscribe
500 worth of stock, undertake to
plant not less than two acres this fall
or spring, pay $50 in cash, between
now and next June to build the fac
tory, and pay the balance OF stock, $50,
in roots.
believe good many would be glad
to take more than 500 in stock, and
doubtless there are others outside who
might be disposed to invest in an un-
dertaking of this kind.
Personally, l should be glad to do so.
On January 1, 1901, they might reason
ably expect to be in this position:

GOLD in UNA
TILLA SAND
Five Claims We're Filed Yesterday and
Large Prospecting Parties Will
Soon Start Out.

PENpLEToN, Jan. 17.-Today in Re-
corder Maloney's Office were filed records
of five placer mining claims, which have
been located at Maxwell station, on the
Umatilla river, forty miles above here,
and FIVE miles below the town of UNA
tilla. The fling of these claims devel-
ops the fact that,several men IN Pendle-
ton had been planning to go down to
Maxwell on a prospecting tour, having
firm faith in the finding of gold in suf-
ficient quantities to constitute a good
paying proposition.
For years it has been known that
gold existed in the millions of tons of
sand scattered all along the Columbia
and Snake rivers tor hundreds of miles
on either side and in the beds OF both
rivers. This gold is fine and it is hard
to separate from the Sand. 1t will not
be extravaganza to assert that millions
of dollars worth of the yellow metal lie
in these sands. But it cannot be sepa-
rated from the sand unless some method
be discovered which will enable the
handling of a greater quantity of sand
to the man employed than can now be
handled.

Stockmen Settle Their Differences

NORTH YAKIMA. Wash, Jan. H.
Over $50 sheep and cattle men of Yaki-
ma, Kittitas and Klickitat counties were
here today to meet Superintendent
Cloes, of the forest reserve, and make
applications for grazing lands for the
coming season. Some differences hav-
ing arisen as to the allotments for sheep
and cattle, a meeting was called at the
Yakima hotel this afternoon to discuss
the matter. A committee of ten was ap-
pointed and lands were set aside for the
cattle men,. The report of the com
mittee was accepted, and all differences
settled amicably, with very little de-
bate. The rapid growth OF the stock
raising industry in Central Washington
is shown by the tact that men repre-
senting nearly 100000 sheep and over
5000 cattle were here to apply for allot-
ments for grazing lands.

WATERS HAVE
CREATED HAVOC
Disastrous Result of the Breaking of a
Dam at Cleveland-A Splendid
Bridge Swept Away.

CLEVELAND, o Jan. 19,-About 1:15
this morning dam under the Wilson
avenue bridge gave way. Back of the
dam is body of water a mile and half
long, hundreds of feet wide and in places
twenty five to thirty feet deep.
The break in the dam has allowed tor
rents of water to pour down on the fats
below it. The property loss is already
large, and if the entire dam gives way,
which seems inevitable, it will be enor-
nous. Along the line whence the flood
must flow are the big plants of the
Standard Oil Company, the Cleveland
Paper Mills, the Flick slaughter house,
and other manufacturing plants. There
are but few people living in the track of
the flood, and these were all warned and
sought safety on higher ground.
The cause of the flood is the recent
heavy rains, the melting of snow from
the hilleides, and a pond of several
acres overfowing. Streams of several
miles up the gulley have added their
quota of wafer.

broken out on the Samoan islands and
was being waged with much bloodshed
and great destruction of property. The

On December 81 Chief Justice Cham

The three consuls have signed procla-

council. On the 9TH Captain Sturdee,
of the Porpois, and two consuls de-
clared the action illegal. The Purpois
cleared for action and Landed force OF

has asked the Carlisle Indians. the
Sharkeys of football, who are always
ready to meet the best and who always
make their opponents dread a second
game whether they win or lose, to come
West and play game in California. and
the Indians have signified their willing
ness to make the trip.
In case arrangements are perfected
with them by California. Butte should
certainly fall into line and secure game.
There is at present as strong team in
Butte as even the famous and all l-victori-
Gus eleven Of '96. True, at present faction
al fights and jeal ousies have about evenly
divided the players, but under the
stimulus of the present opportunity they
would easily forget and forgive and send
their united best against the common
enemy. All that is now needed is fnan-
cial backing, which will enable them to
send on to the Indians an assurance that
they will guarantee so much, and thus Sc
cure the much-coveted game.
Time is short and already Salt Lake,
Portland, Seattle and many other foot
ball cities have sent on their bids while

one of the most noted in the West, is still
