TEA FLAVOR INJURED AT SEA.
Consequently Russian Epicures Have
Their Supply Brought Overland.


Their Supply Brought Overland.
Russian tea traders have received
news that the great caravans will
shortly start on their long journey
across Siberia. Within recent years
much Of the tea consumed in Russia
has made the sea voyage from Chinese
ports to Odessa on the Black Sea, but
Russians say that tea transported by
sea loses much i'll flavor and quality.
In consequence of this the largest tea
merchants continue to receive the bulk
of their stock by the overland route.
Early in January the caravans arrive
in Tomsk. Between the list and 10th
of the month 10000 sledges of oea ara
expected, each sledge containing five
packages of about $50 pounds each.
The tea is not packed in cases, but in
stiffened OK hides Five sledges are
tied together and drawn by one horse.
The last sledge of each group contains
hay and barley, which the horse of the
next group quietly munehes as he trav-
els. IN consequence of this arrange
ment the caravans lose no time. The
first horse only, who does not feed as
he walks, is changed from time to
time. The horses are changed in the
villages along the road, but as villages
are rarely met it often happens that
the horse collapse from overfatigue.
The leaders of the caravan, usually
Kirghiz, sleep in the sledges, although
the thermometer is often 40 degrees be-
low freezing point. From the Chinese
tea-growing districts to Tomsk is
years journey by caravan.

An Ideal Farming Community.

4 correspondent of the Denver Re
publican in the course of Il review of
the resources of Laramie county, Wy
owing. says:
"The most strictly agricultural com
munity in Laramie county is Wheat
land, ninety-tive miles north of Chey
enne. on the Colorado & Southern rail
road. and Il more beautiful spot would
be hard to find anywhere on the face
of the earth. To get an idea of Wheat
land the reader has only to imagine Il
high and level plateau of many thou
sands of acres, green with wild grasses
and spotted with richly cultivated
fields of alfalfa, corn, wheat and vege-
tables; to the east and beyond the val
ley of the Chugwater, rising out of the
plains. in Il long, low ridge of hills, in
appearance much like II huge railway
grade, and to the southeast, along the
Laramie river, the white bluffs in plain
view-a contrast indeed to the blue

Laramie peak, the giant of them all.
towering thousands of feet above its
neighbors; between the point of view
and this beautiful and charming back
ground are the cultivated fields dotting
the original plains. the miles of wind
ing bitches and canals, and the farm
houses, visible for many miles, and i'll
the center the pretty and well-built lit
tie town of Wheatland. Undoubtedly
it will be news to some people. even in
Laramie county, to hear that farmers
around Wheatland raise corn in fifty
acre patches, and that one man can,
Notwithstanding the work of irrigation,
tend" greater area of corn land by
IL considerable number of acres, than
can one man and team in Illinois or
Iowa. The yield is on an average about
twenty-five bushels to the acre, and for
ty bushels have been raised. 1t is as
toniShing the amount of land one man
can attend to here. An old resident of
Denver with his thirteen-year-old son
and one man is this year farming 26o
acrrs-seventy-tive acres of alfalfa, 14o
acres of small grain twenty acres of
corn and five acres of potatoes. They
were able to plow nearly all winter.
The Whcatland farmers winter lots of
cattle and sheep for ncighboring stock
men and find it profitable. The ilri-
CATION canals and tunnels. by which
the Wheatland colony is supplied with
water cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars and an immense reservoir is
being built this year at great eX-
pcnsr. The Laramie river is the source
of supply.

MR.. I.AUB HONORED.
Seventy Birthday of Our Pioneer
Citizen Remembered.

Seventy-siXth birthday of Our Pionefr
Citizen Remembered.
The home of Hon. I'll. G. Laub was
the scene OF a memorable party given
in honor of Mr.. Laub's seventy sixth
birthday on Wednesday. Those who
partook of the bounteous repast were
Judge j. 2. Conner, Judge z. A.
Church, Rev. j. i. Harris, and Messrs.
Garrison, Tabor, Kuehnle, w. III. Laub,
Beard, Cook, Romans and Prof. w. c..
Van Ness. After doing justice to the
repast Judge Conner in behalf of the
guests made few particularly happy
remarks, presenting Mr.. Laub with a
beautiful silver medallion of President
Lincoln. Nh Laub responded in a
most felcltouS manner and heartily
thanked the guests for their rememb-
rance. A notable feature of the even
ing was the reading ola poem written
by an old family friend and dedicated
to Mr.. Laub. We publish the poem be
low. Mr.. Laub has been one of the
most helpful citizens Denlson has ever
had. He has not been afraid to spend
his money in building up his home
town and more than score of buildings
have been erected here by him. In
church and benevolent work he has al.
ways been foremost and certainly few
have stronger claim upon Denison's
regards than does he We sincerely
hope that he may live to enjoy many
more such ann. versarY fetes.

The Sioux City Journal, one Of the
best daily papers in Iowa, was thirty
years old on Thursday of this week.
A reproduction of the first page of Vol.
one is given, and in it there is vast
difference as compared with the Journal
of today. Thirty years ago the editor
in. chief was required to set a large
share of the type and the compositors
assisted in local work at night. In
Thirty years all is changed. Machines
have taken the place of hand compost
ton, the editor no longer sings the lead,
a pressman is not taken from the com.
posing room, and the collecting of bills
Is taken from the shoulders of the editor.
MI. Perkins has a warm place in the
heart of every printer entering Sioux
City. When the typesetting machines
came out. Mr.. Perkins went to the typo
graphical union and said if the scale of
wages for hand composition would be
placed at thirty-two cents, he would not
install single machine. He gave the
union three months time to consider
but to no avail, theun ion wanted
thirty-live cents and Mr.. Perkins was
compelled to buy machines. The
journal today, is the best, daily reach
ing our exchange table, it's editorials
are clear cut and to the point, and it's
news service unexcelled. May it con.
tinue to prosper.

following concerning Denison:

can be seen from the right of the train
an interesting panorama of the town,
with a broad pasture extending out as
foreground from the ridge on whose
sides and crest it is located. In this
pasture the celebrated herd of Black

as the train passes. Denison is

of the ridge and located on the other
side of it, the roofs of the center of the

MUST TEACH MUSIC.
Teachers Must Know how to Teach the
Elements of Music.

Many teachers have been ENDURING
about the bill which passed at the late
session of the legislature. providing for
music in public schools. The following
is the bill:
Section l. That the elements of
vocal music, including when practical
the singing of music by note, be taught
in all of the public schools of Iowa, and
that all teachers teaching in schools
where such instruction is not given by
special teachers be required to satisfy
the county superintendent of their abil-
ity to teach the elements of vocal music
in a proper manner.
provided, however, that no teacher
shall be refused certificate or the
grade of his or her certificate lowered
on account of lack of ability to sing.
"Section 2. That it shall be the duty
Of each county superintendent to have
taught annually IN the normal institute
the elements of vocal music.
s'Section 3. This act shall take effect
on the fourth day of July Of the year
nineteen hundred and one.''
The bill is not very strict one, a
teacher cannot be deprived of a certi6-
cate even though unable to sing, but all
must know enough about music to be
able to teach the elements of vocal
music. At first it was thought the
governor would not sign the bill, but it
is intimated that he will; he is only
waiting to sign it with a special quill
pen, which will be presented to the
author of the bill, Mr.. Miller.
