WTITHIN the next few weeks the
w Deseret News viii begin the
publication Of a series OF letters
from the Philippines and the Far East
by Frank G.. Carpenter. Mr.. Carpenter
has already left San Francisco for
Japan. He will stop there few days
and VIII then push rapidly on for the
Philippines, where he will remain for
the greater part OF the year. travelling
from island TO island and giving graph
&c descriptions Of the country, It's re-
sources, the people both savage and
civilized, their curious customs and all
about them. Mr.. Carpenter has long
seen noted for his fairness as a CORE
sondent, He believes In telling the truth
and his letters viii describe things just
as he finds them without political bias
In favor Of any policy or party
His trip is made solely for lnforma-
ton. and he will spare neither expense
nor trouble to get at the truth. He
goes armed with credentials from the
secretaries Of war and navy, and letters
from the secretary OF state and Gen.
Miles, the commander OF the army,
which will give him every facility that
Uncle Sans officers can furnish, and in
addition to this letter Of credit big
enough to pay for the outside expedi-
lions and trips to the interior which he
hopes to make.
Mr.. Frank G.Carpenter IL well known
to our readers as a traveller and rell-
able correspondent, He has trotted
the globe 10 a greater extent perhaps
than any writer OF today, Born In
Ohio forty years ago, the son of a law
yer and banker Of John Sherman's
town Of Mansfield, after graduating
from the college he began his newspa-
per career as a correspondent OF the
Cleveland Leader at Columbus. He
was acting as such in 1850 during the
Garfield campaign during which he
Travelled widely over the country report
ing and interviewing. He overworked,
however. and at about the time Of the
election found himself down with ty-
phoid fever.
Always siekly and weakly his Illness
was such that he saw II would be at |
least year before he could resume his
newspaper work and he decided TO use
the time in foreign travel He went
alone to Europe and Travelled for about |
a year there, drifting about the conti-
nent and the British isles and making |
his way across the Mediterranean to |
Egypt and up the Nile.
He was too weak, however, during |
this time to write much although he
walked over the Alps on foot, bucked !

travelling three thousand miles over
the Black Plain and up and down
the Volga. He had hardly gotten SET
tied at Washington after his tour
before It struck him that the next
foreign news center was to be
China and Japan and he proposed
m ASSIGNMENT for himself TO the
editor. This was TO travel Tor
them 5000 miles for twenty-five
letters. 1t included journeys In
the interior Of China. Japan and Korea
and a trip over the eastern end OF the
Trans-siberIan railroad. This was IN
the height Of the panic Of 1893, but the
scheme was such a big one that the
editor consented to its expense at once
and in 1894 Carpenter left Vancouver
for Japan. He travelled for about a
year at this time in the above countries
inspecting the armies, the gun works
and getting material which was OF I'M
mense value to his paper IN the
chInese-Japanese war which broke out
during his absence. While in Japan he
had an interview with Count Ito the
premier and adviser OF the Mikado, in
which he predicted that the war would
take place.
From this time until his recent Jour
ney Of year around and about South
America Mr.. Carpenters travels have
been confined to the United States
with the exception Of a little trip TO
Puerto Rico which was made during the
past summer
His present journey includes the Phil
lppine Islands. Japan, China, Java,
Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii
II will describe these countries as they
are today, plcturing them with pen and
camera as they actually are In the year
1900.

The wolf gun was considered such a foolish

long time refused to issue Il patent for it.
Now IL is in operation and is saving thousands

Dozens OF ranChmen in Colorado and WyO-

The wolf gun is an ordinary gun arranged
to explode blank cartridge every hour during
the night by "A clever little device invented by
a Kansas man. The ranchman places il near
his herd and goes To sleep, knowing that they
will be safe from the attack Of predatory ami
