Halibut in Alaskan Waters.

Washington special Minneapolis Journal: One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large mum Der of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch eargoes ip a few hours time, and it is no strange thing to see a hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days. Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had 133,000 pounds of halibut caught off the Alaskan coast in three and a half days by eighteen men. At three cents per pound this cargo was worth g. 2.900.

- FILLING UP SIBERIA.
By This Method Russia Cuts Down Her
 Great Surplus.


 Since the commencement of the Trans-Siberian railway immigration te Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader Be- tween 1882 and 1885 only 650,000 per- sons entered the country, viz, 50, 1909 every year. Tn 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 2o3 ,000; in 1898 they reached 205,000 The immigra- ton is conducted by a committee of officials whose members portion out the land through which the new rail- way runs. Up to the present moment 1000 GOO acres have been occupied. and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But, notwithstand- Ing, the Russian government allows thousands of immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason of the governments apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get rid of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There is no c1vilizing influence with these fresh immigrants. The majority are beg gars with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatics already in Siberia. The filling up of Siberia by the pres- ent-day process is nothing less than the useless sasrifice of thousands of hapless beings

The Coming onlted States Census.

It is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than a 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade Immi. grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of tho next decade was enormous, and yet the Porter census for 1890 showed an in- crease in the ten years of only PAS per cent. H. T. Neweomb. a statistician of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of "A ,480 900, which would be an increase over 1890 of less than 19 per cent.

The TALLEsT ACTRESS.
she Is Considerably over six Feet
and Her Name Is Miss
Mary TuIi.

The tallest woman on the American
stage, according TO the Saturday
Evening Post, is Miss Mary Tull, who,
besides her decided histriQnic talent,
has won world fame as the favorite
model OF the foremost American
scuiptors for their recent goddesses
of liberty. Miss Tulrs height, which
is considerably over six feet, naturally
limits her field of endeavor on the
stage, but in her especial line Of parts
it is no. exaggerating to say that she
stands Head and shoulders above her
rivals. On a western tour some time
ago a programme printer inisspelled
her name, calling aer Miss Mary Tall"
The management at first declined TO
pay the printing bill, but after the
programme man. who was also the
manager of the local tAeater, had vis-
tied the show and seen the actress he
refused TO deduct cent, claiming
that il Tall was not her name, it
ought to be.
Last fall, in New York, Miss Tull
was photographed as the Goddess Of
Liberty In a broadway strdio, and IL
answer to a telephone call she hastily
left the gallery and went into the adj
joining building, negleciing. mean
while, to remove her classic draperies.
As she stepped on the street a small
crowd gathered to view the unusual
sight She was only in evidence

regations of these Indians prop

and thus, by convincing them that
the government intends them no
injury, restore their confidence to
its normal condition; and then Mr..
Darrough will find all difficulty
peacefully removed out of the way
Of his taking their census. To
saddle the blame for this recusant
spirit among the fullbloods onto
few "unscrupulous" men who are
making them believe that it is
scheme of the government TO take
their lands away from them, is a
Misrepresentation and SANDER

are not benighted fools; they know
their wrongs. There is not one Of
them, even among the women and
children, but what understands
the issue fully as well, and per-
haps even better than our friend

How Cherokees Were Sent
To Arkansas.


what exactness history repeats it,
self Men are like chickens. they
never do anything new. The crow
that reminded Peter of his perfid.
ity we are now hearing every day
on the dung.hill.
The Arrow says, =" Mr.. Stanfield
is a cool headed sensible man, and
N does not desire to resort to harsh
measures in enforcing the census
laws, but he says that after all
concessions are made, after he runs
the limit of leniency allowed him
by the government, he will have
to proceed to arrest the leaders
who are inciting the full bloods
to resistance"
Now when our friend Stan6eld
gets out after us with his armed
posse, chasing us up hill and
down hill, smoking us out of
.. caves, lassoing us and drawing us
up to duty like bullocks 10 the
branding post, we will have lit
eral repetition of that old savery
chapter in the history Of civiliza-
tion which betided the Cherokees
some sixty years ago east of the
Mississippi, when Georgia resorted
to "drastic" measures, something
of the nature of the Curtis law, to
make the Cherokees consent to 60
TO "Arkansaw.'
Among the many "drastic"
expedients to that end adopted by
the state was that of arrest and
imprisonment These arrests
were generally made upon some
charge Of violating the Georgia
law. that law mainly which made
it criminal offense for an Indian
to dig gold. While some Of these
accusations were true, they were
in general false, Irumped up by
malicious white persons who
wanted Gas the Curtis bill pro-
vides) to get at the mineral that
was thought to be lying buried
by the the hand of nature deep
down in the ground on the In
dams premises. In those times,
however, it was not necessary to
appraise the Indians improve
ments, tender the appraisal, and
Rick hith of; all you had TO do
was to so aud tell the magistrate
that the fellow had been seen
down in the "diggins' and was
suspected Of digging gold. He was
then arrested, and sent off sin
chains down to the Gainesville
Jail. Once there, there be had to
stay until he consented to "go to
Arksnsaw," Cut off from the out
side world, living (rather DYING
on starvation allowance, the poor
fellow was at stated times accosted
with. "Will you go to Arksnsaw?"
"Will you 60, then, to Arkansaw?" {
The habeas corpus law had not yet
been Invented. OF course, under
the circumstances, he consented
to 60 TO "Arkansaw."
Now here they are after us again.
The threat Of friend Stand6eld to
get after US again here in our right
ful homes west Of the Mississippi
has the effect to awaken in the
memory something like an old dis
tempered dream; We hope he may
never attempt 10 put it into execu-
lion.
"Drastic" measures is not what
these Cherokees are now needing.

graphic Communication.
Last Saturday afternoon the dis
patchers at Vinita and Adair had
considerable trouble with the wires
between the two towns, messages
being interfered with when sent.
A lineman was sent to investigate
the cause, and he discovered some-
thing new in regard to telegraph
service ON the Katy. A short dis
tance from telegraph pole he
found a large snake four feet long,
hanging from wire. The snake
had crawled up the pole, wound
its tail around the top wire and
then hung another part of its body
on the lower wire. After having
htmg there for sometime, the
snake was burned to death, but
still hung to the wires. Not only
did it become a fixture, but it
formed circuit and when a mes
sage was sent it passed along the
body Of the snake and was return
ed to the sender.

Beers Notify Portugal It So Con.
siders the Transport Of Brit
ish Troops
Across Portuguese Territory in
Africa.--Further Actio-l
PrOblematic.
Great Britain Prepared to Fully
Protect Portugal, 1t Is
Stated.

LONDON, April lo.-It is learned
here that the Transvaal government
has formally notified Portugal that
they consider the shipping of Brit
ish troops and munitions of wal to
Rhodesia, by way Of Beira, Portuguese
East Africa, to be tantamount to hostile
action. This, however, will not stop
General Sir Frederick Carrington's
force from entering Rhodesia. Whether
or not the Beers will make reprisals
upon Portugal remains to be seen,
though the best informed opinion here
inclines to the belief that the Beers are
not. likely to back up their protest with
action that would bring them into hos
%tilities with still another power.
The British government. the Associ.
ated Press is officially informed, stands
ready to take the part Of Portugal, in
case the Beers attempt reprisals, but so
far Portugal has lot applied for British
aid, nor has she replied to the Boer no.
LITIGATION. With Great Britain at her
back, it is said. she will not give in, in
the slightest, in maintaining that the
transactions at Beira are fully justified
by the long standing treaties between
Great Britain and Portugal.
While the situation is admitted to be
grave, the foreign Office is not inclined
to believe the Beers will take aggressive
action. The concensus of opinion is
that should the Beers attempt reprisals,
it would react to the advantage of Great
Britain, enabling her to use Delagoa
hay freely.
