FAMINE GENERAL
GREAT SUFFERING

New York, July 20.-Chow Tsz-Chi,
the Chinese consul in New York. has
forwarded to the Christian Herald re-
ports of native commissioners ap-
pointed by the governors of Shansi to
assist in the work of relieving the
famine. These reports detail the
progress Of the members of the relief
commission through Sansi. Near
Mich city they say the refugees are
eating tree leaves and apparently en-
Joylng them. Later they saw hungry
birds in the woods fighting for dead
bodies. In large number of in
stances young girls who were being
sold were purchased by relief COM
missioners and sent to relief head
quarters, their families being notified.
On one day sixty-seven girls were
rescued. Local authorities caught
SIX dealers in girls and put them to
death in an iron cage, but seemed
poWerless to stop the traffic. De-
tailed reports of the native relief com.
missioners show the famine is wide
spread and suffering extensive.

mother says a Boston dispatch to the
New York Sun. THAT was the last
seen of the child until 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning, when he was found
wandering through the Blue Hill
Reservation by Park Officer Cameron.
The faithful dog was still with the
boy, and both were thoroughly wet,
having slept two nights in the woods.
The officer took the boy to the house
OF Supt. Dings, where he was cared
for. The little fellow was trembling
when first brought in, but after re-
celvlng attention and food he was ap-
parently none the worse for his two
nights Of wandering and exposure.
The st. Bernard was persistent IN
sticking to the boy, even after he was
IN the house. and insisted so strongly
in his dumb way that the kind-heartei
woman allowed the faithful animal to
accompany the boy to the bathroom
and keep him in sight continually.
Both arrived home all right at noon.''

PACIFIC COAST o. X.
California Crop Outlook at Present Is
Above the Average.

ABOVE the AVSFdSS-
San Francisco, July 20. The follow
ing is q summary of the crop condi-
tons in this state week ending the
18th: Nearly normal weather condi-
ton prevailed during the week, with
compal atively high temperature in
some sections and light fogs along the
coast. Up to the present time there
has been no material injury to grain
or fruit from extreme heat or north
ers, but field fires have caused con-
siderable damage to grain.
Harvesting and thrashing are pro-
crossing rapidly. Small shipments are
being made, but most grain will be
stored in warehouses.
Rerorts from nearly all the grain
growing districts north of the Teha-
chapi show that previous estimates
were, in the main, correct; the yield
of wheat and barley is the largest for
several years, and in some instances
above the average; both are excellent
in quality. The yield of grain in
southern California is below average.
The hay crop is one of the best in
years and of good quality. Sugar,
beets, hops, corn, beans and vege-
tables are generally in splendid condi-
ton, with prospects for large crops.
Pasturage is becoming scarce, and
cattle are being driven to mountain
ranges. Much progress was made in
picking, drying and canning delicious
fruits. Neatly all varieties are excel
lent in quality, but below average in
yield. Reports are that grapes will
be alb average crop. Oranges are
in excellent condition, and a heavy
crop is predicted.
