Some years ago the Carson Appeal
published a story about Joe Raycraft
digging q we'll fftv.two feet deep at
Genoa and tracing an alfalfa root down
to the bottom of the well where it had
encountered water and spread out.
Everybody said that the story was
one OF Joe's awful exa~ggerations and
took no stock in it. The agricultural
department at Washington has issued
some interesting data on the way al
fslfs will send its roots down in search
of moisture and Charles w. Irish, chief
of the Irrigation Enquiry" of the U.
8. Department of Agriculture, cites a
case where Q mining tunnel was run
under a bluff where there was an al
falfa field. In the tunnel the work.
men encountered alfalfa roots at q
depth Of 129 feet below the surface.
An alfalfa root will penetrate the soil
at the rate of q little over a foot per
month. Those who have been dis
putting Mr.. Raycraft's statement about
the ffty-two feet, may as we'll subside.

s. +. Post: Railway travelling in
any special train in Russia is a real
luxury. The new Siberian express is
the finest train in the world. There
are bright sides as well as dark to des-
potic control, and it is certainly to the
credit of the Russian administration
that it seeks to the fullest possible ex-
tent to promote the comfort of passen-
gers of each class. On all the long
lines good sleeping accommodation is
provided for first, second and third
class passengers, excepting when the
train happens to be o~vercrowded. The
new Siberian express consists of six
elegant coaches, fitted with screens for
protection from dust and smoke, hot
water apparatus, electric lights, a lux
urious library, a beautiful bathing
room, a finely appointed gymnasium,
and a dark cabinet for the use of the
tourist photographer. A health officer,
provided with every needful appli-
ance, travels with each train. There
is a barber shop on the train. The
windows are double, as a protection
against the terrible Winter tempera-
ture.

THE a LIST.

Carson Appeal: Last Winter the
Legislature passed q law revising the
mode of publishing the tax list OF
each county. Formerly the taxpay-
er's name appeared and the sum total
he paid on was opposite. Under the
new law every item he pays on and it's
value will be published. The entire
list Of this county will fill o space
equal to eight pages the size OF the
Appeal. which means about half a ton
of metal that has to be handled by the
printer.
When the list appears 1t will cause
more "rubbering" among the people
than q sensational trial. If John
Brown pays on a COW that is valued at
500 and Bill Smith pays on n that is
valued at $50, there is apt to be some
thing doing with our Assessor, and it
will take an increased police force to
keep the neighbors from doing some
hair pulling.
Even the pianos, jewelry and house
hold goods are enumerated. Mrs.
Jim Tuley will pick up the list and see
that Mrs. Neverwork has a piano.
There will be some uncomplimentary
remarks passed, which, if heard by
the neighbor with the music box, will
cause the Sheriff and Assessor to rush
to the scene with the hurry-up.
Not only will the tax list serve as an
instrument of taxation but it will
cause the greatest gossip that has ever
been cut loose in family circles.

BRITISH CABL-
FOR PACIFIC
A Globe-Girdling Movement is
Started in Canad ~
Capital.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. Sir Sanford
Fleming addressed long letter to Will
liam Mulock, postmaster general, In
favor of a telegraph service to girdle
the globe and owned by the State. The
letter is said to be the beginning of a
movement to nationaliZe the cable and
telegraph service of the empire. The
mater, the writer says, affects Canada
as well as Australia.
The arrangement for the establish
ment of the Pacific cable has ben
completed The arrangement implies
joint ownership, and in the opinion Of
Sir Sanford, it is the harbinger OF
compete system of State owned tele-
graphs by land and sea.
With the telegraph system national
lied as suggested, Sir Sanford says
that messages may be transmitted to
and from the most distant British pos
sessions at one-eighth or one-tenth the
rates now levied by the companies. In
concluding his letter the wri.e says:
British subjects in Canada, in Aus
tralia, in New Zealand, in India, in
Africa, as wei as in the mother coun-
try, must unite in securing complete
emancipation from the grasp of the
great cable combine At the threshold
of the twentieth century high imperial
interests demand the cheapest possible
telegraph transmission and the great
est possible freedom of intercourse be-
tween all the subjects of her majesty
domiciled around the globe. I respect
fully submit, therefore, that action
cannot be taken a day too soon to
nationaliZe our system by land and sea
throughout the whole empire"

AGUINALDO
AGAIN DEAD
Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler
Starts the Latest Press
Rumor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Benjamin -Ide
Wheeler, president of the University
of California, who is now staying at
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, has receiv-
ed information from the secret service
in the Philippines to the effect that
Aguinaldo is dead, and that his death
occurred no less than six weeks ago.
The news has been kept secret by
Aguinaldo's followers it is said, for the
purpose of prolonging the rebellion,
SINCE 1T was beiieved that the news Of
the chiefs death would cause such dis
couragement and alarm that an utter
capItulation would result
Z President Wheeler obtained this
news, so he told the Call reporter to-
day, through several Filipino children
who have been placed in his care by
their parents. Two are sons of .Buen-
canine, a wealthy citizen of Manila,
who before the advent of the Ameri-
cans in the Philippines, had been an
active leader of the rebellion against
the Spanish. President Wheeler also
has in his charge the children of Midel
governor of Mindanao, and several 9TH
er boys whose parents are of the
wealthy class.
In speaking Of the reported death of
the insurrectionist President Wheeler
said:
''These boys of mine, as I may call
them, receive frequent communications
from their parents and friends at
home. The information which was OBJ
tanned concerning the death of Aguin-
aldo 1 understand came from secret
and trustworthy sources, and is proba-
bly, true.
THE father of these boys is Buen-
canine, who before the Americans
came, was most active in the rebellion
against Spain. 1 understand he was
a close friend of Aguinaldo, and has
kept in touch with that remarkable
parsonage even after Buencamino him.
self took neutral stand. Buencamino,
however, did not take a firm stand
on the side of America until after the
election of Mckinley, when, along
with many other Filipinos he believed
that further opposition to the United
States would be futile
MANILA, Jan. General Funston
reports that General Sandico, the rebel
leader, is hiding near Victoria. He is

emily escaped, as the Mount Arayat
