The ShinnecOck reservation consists
of 400 acres of fine agricultural land,
less than a third of which is under
cultivation. 1t is governed by three
trustees, elected by the Indians from
their own number. The land is held
in common and is open to cultivation
by any member of the tribe. One wish
ing to start small farm selects an
unoccupied plot of land and claims it
before the trustees. He can plant uponi
it as many years as he likes, but is
not allowed to lease or sell it. If he
abandons it for year, he has no fur
ther claim on it.
The reservation begins where the
principal residence street of South
ampton ends. 4 struggling array of
shacks and cabins built on either side
of a crooked road meets the eye. Most
of them have not been seriously re-
paired in twenty years. and they were
old then.
AS the main road through the reser-
vation approaches its last windings

and parsonage, three in a row, all pre-

clergyman, the Rev. L. H. Lackland-
He came to ShinnecOck from the south
three years ago, strange even to the
customs of northern whites He took
well with the Indians, and both church
and school have prospered. He was
found talking earnestly to young In
dian, devising Il plan which would
give the Indians work in the winter
and one which. he thinks, would be of
great financial benefit to the tribe. 1t
is nothing less than an automobile
race track around the reservation. 4
but the Indians can hardly afford
horses and wagons, TO say nothing of
automobiles remarked the reporter
You forget that we are surrounded
with rich people here" replied the min
lister. They own automobiles and
would speed them if there were good

''The toll would be nice" said the
young Indian, but he did not seem to
be strongly in favor of the proposition
for winter work.

Of the best. The Georgia peach dis
trict has already been opened up by
one or the two lines of railroad, not
ably by the Southern railway, which
reaches all the large shipping cen
ters, and which furnishes extra fast
fruit trains. running almost at the
rate of limited passenger trains, and
bringing long strings of refrigerator
cars into Washington and New York
in from SO to IS hours.
Other incidental matters have also
contributed to help Georgia shippers,
such as the season at which their
fruit comes to market, the adoption
of the six-basket carrier, or Georgia
peach crate, a lot of good advertising,
etc. Taking all things together, the
Georgia peach belt is one of the most
fruit-producing districts
of the present time. We hope to see
progress in other
parts of the country-New England,
New York, Michigan. and elsewhere
but Georgia certainly has our compli-
ments for the present. and our very
best wishes for the future.-The

FLAG FOR ALL POsTOFFICES
Plan to Have Old Glory In Evidence
on Many Buildings.

When Chairman Cannon of the house
appropriations committee was in Wash
ington n few days ago. he expressed
the belief that public buildings would
grow in numbers until the people
would never be out of sight of the
flag floating over them. He was speak
ing of the popular demand there was
for postoflice buildings to he owned by
the United States and the patriotic
feeling inspired by the sight of Old
Glory flying from the fiagstaffs OF
these buildings, says a Washington
dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
His remarks have suggested that even
if Uncle Sam does not own all the
buildings in which are located post
offices the national flag should fly over
them just the same.
The public agitation that has raised
the stars and stripes above every
schoolhouse in the land is now advo-
Gated by public spirited and patriotic
people in favor of the flag over every
postoffice.

year the yield will surpass this es-
innate, as Berrien county is so far
ahead of any other county in the
state for 1902. The yield of the peach
orchards is from 100 to 800 bushels
per acre, while the land sells from
$50 to $500 and $500 to $1,000 per
acre, as the location and improve
ments indicate. Berrien county fruit
growers get top prices. The cause
for this is double-a superior quail
ity of fruit due to the favorable
climate, and the rapid, cheap trans
portation by water, not over dusty
roads, to Milwaukee and Chicago.

Persian MOnarch's UnIucl<y Experi-

His majesty the shah OF Persia, who
has recently been visiting England, is
very fond of dogs. While staying at
Ostend the other day he was much at
tracted by pair of dachShunds owned
by woman stopping there, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. Ne

owner of one of the animals, for which
he paid in the neighborhoOd of S150-
But the dog mourned so much for its

that the kind hearted shah, with
oriental courtesy, returned the animal
to its former owner on her dcquainting
his majesty with her wish to have the
dachshund back. She refused, how
ever, to return the purchase price,
whereupon the Persian monarch made
application to the public prosecutor for
the restitution of his rubles, piasters
or francs. The English Dachshund
club will doubtless solace his imperial

Natives Stricken with the Disease
Crawl to Isolated Places, and Their
Bodies Are Often Found Floating
In the PnsiE-SuperstitiO Views of
FiIipinOs Concerning the scourge.
The daily advices of the war depart
ment of the progress of the cholera
epidemic in Manila and the Philippines
continue to Indicate that there is no
hope of checking the disease until the
typhoon season is well on, says a spe-
cial dispatch from Washington to the
New York Times.
The health service of the city GOV
ernment is overwhelmed with the work
that has fallen upon it, and the health
officials in all the interior towns are
in the same plight.
The epidemic is not confined to the
low country towns, but has been under
headway in Dagupan and the noun
tain towns north of there for IL month.
An efficient system OF reports has been
maintained. and the authorities know
what they have to contend with.
The number of deaths in the prov
inces ranges from $50 to $50 daily.
The beginning of the rainy season
makes the danger greater, as the
streams carry the cholera germs every
where and spread the disease.
There are on an average from fifty
to seventy new cases daily in Manila
and nearly.as many deaths. There are
many cases on the ships in the bay,
and this is an increased cause of dan
ger, as the quarantine authorities can
not get at them. and violations of the
health regulations are constantly oc-
curing.
The worst occurrence is the death of
natives who have crawled off uncared
for and have died in out of the way
places. 1t is n common thing to find
bodies of victims of cholera floating
in Pasig river, and in one day recently
six such bodies were fished out.
The disease has in a number of cases
broken out ON ships that have been in
close quarantine for several days. 1t
is said that this is due TO using the
water of the bay, which is very i'm
pure. The ships have condensers, but
few distin the water and so remove all
danger of infection.
The morgue wagon drivers are over
worked night and day. The hospitals
are filed. and temporary ones have
been provided.
Part of the difficulty arises from the
superstitious idea OF the natives. who
believe the disease is q visitation from
heaven and not TO be resisted. 1t has
several times happened that bodies of
men and women who have died of chol-
era have been concealed by the ma
tives for several days before the
health authorities have found them.
Official reports credit much of the
difficulty TO contending with the cpl
demic to the inefficiency of the Filipino
doctors. When working under Amer
leans, they are useful, but indepen-
IDENTIFY they soon fail. They will not
carry out instructions and connive
with the natives to conceal new cases.

LIGHT ON CORAL REEFS.
New Theory Concerning Their Meth
Od OF Erection.


Od OF Erection.
A specially interesting communica-
ton was made at n meeting of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh the other
day by Professor Alexander Agassiz
of America. The professor devoted his
attention to the subject of coral reefs,
with special reference to the theories
of their erection, says the London
Chronicle. He himself has been an in
defatigable explorer of reefs in the In
dian, Pacific and Atlantic areas, and
the main purport of his address was to
convey to the society the ideas he had
been led to formulate concerning the
manner in which the circular reefs, or
''atolls," come into existence
Darwin in 1913 showed that as coral
could only grow at Il limited depth we
had to take into account the sinking
of land as a factor in the production of
barrier reefs and "atolls." As the orig
inal land sank the corals, being afford
ed fresh foundations, grew upward.
Darwin'S views We're disputed by Sir
John Murray of the Challenger eXpedi-
tion and others. They contended that
"atolls" are built upon foundations of
submarine origin and that no subsi-
dence of land is necessary for their
erection. The circular form of the
"atoll," which inclOses n lakelike sea
area, is attributed to the erosion or
wearing away of the coral substance
by sea and chemical action. To this
view Professor ASasSiz subscribes as
the result of his Investigations.
Here are 4 few. figures which ap-
pear worth considering in connection
with the views of Sir John Murray
and of Professor AgassiZ: Taking $50
feet as the greatest average depth at
which reefbuilding corals can live, how
much material in the shape of marine
deposits. chiefly contributed by chalk
animalcules, and what extent of time
would be required to bring 4 founda-
ton up to within the requisite dis
tance of the surface to afford Il base Of
operations for the coral polps? Six
teen tons of chalk are contained in Il
layer of sea water COO feet deep and a
mile square, and this material may be
utilized by the chalk animalcules for
shellbuilding purposes. If this amount
of chalk We're precipitatcd over a
square mile. the layer it would form
would be less than .O0O1 Of an inch
thick. The tenth of an inch would at
least be the outside limit
How long would such an agency take
to build up a base of coral rock from
the sea depths? Heilprin's calculation
throws some light on the problem. Ev-
cry year the accumulation on the ocean
bed would not exceed 10000 of an inch
in thickness, giving us one foot Of
thickness in about 100000 years. Then,
if we suppose that foundation has to
be built up from depth of COO feet to
the limit of coral life, we would re-
quire seventy-five fathoms Of material
ut least, and at the rate of accumula-
ton just given such an erection would
require 100000 years for its compile
tion

'This years crop is the greatest

American reporter in New York the

The Presidents Double.

If the president had been seeking a
double of himself, he could not have
come more closely to the mark than
in the man selected for secretary of
the navy. and while the resemblance
may be very striking, there is no
more possibility of his being taken
for the executive than there is of sue
cess in palming off a substitute rene
DIV for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t has become so well known as a
cure for headache, nervousness, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation and
malaria that many unscrupulous
dealers will refill the bottles with
bogus article and offer it as the genu-
