George M Yankovsky, young
Siberian hailing from Vladivostok
is touring this country, working
as farm hand and.general utility
man in stables, stock yards,
ranches and other places where
he may gain a knowledge of stock
raising and agriculture. His
father owns 1000 acres of fine
farming land on the Japan sea
in about the same latitude as this
city, and the young man carries
with him letters of credit for
more money than could be raised
in lifetime by some of those for
whom he has been working. Mr.
Yankovsky in the course of his
educational tour has been in this
state, Texas, Kansas and Missouri.
He is now in the last named
state.
Earl Beauchamp, who has
caused a sensation in British poll
tics by deserving the conserva-
tives and joining the liberals, re-
signed from the position of gover-
nor of New South Wales in 1900.
He is one of the most sublimated
!of English aristocrats, the seventh
es1l of his title, and young man
who at 30 has become a positive
force in the political life of his
country. The earl succeeded his
father in 1891 and had a brilliant
future before him as a member of
the conservative party.
During the recent Devery poli-
ticel fight in New York it wa of !.
ten demonstrated that "the big
chief" knew things that his OPP
ponents didnot want him to know.
One of the henchmen explains the
mystery in this way: "When Bill
Devery was chief of police he
learned a good many thinge about
leading men in both parties and
he made use of this leverage in
his ninth district fight. Why,
these fellows had to give up to
him, for if Bill should tell all he
knows good many big men would
be off to the woods"
