GRIGGS READY TO DEBATE.
Republicans Appear to Be in a
Tough Corner.

A Washington dispatch says: Since
Chairman Griggs of the democratic
congressional committee gave out his
recent interview quoting Babcock VS..
Babcock on the tariff question, the
pot has been boiling for more trouble
for the republican chairman. The
Law members of the democratic com
mittee are urging Judge Griggs to
challenge Chairman Babcock to joint
debate with tariff as the text.
MIR. Griggs left Washington for
New York last night, but whether he
has seriously considered the question
of challenge Is not definitely known.
Democrats here say sig niticantly, how
ever, that whether he takes the initia-
tive in the matter or not he will not
shy at any hint to this effect from the
republican chairman, and, moreover,
is even seeking to arrange debate.
The democrats believe they have
their political opponents on the run
on the tariff question. They would
welcome political disturbance that
would enable them to put forw ara
their best foot and overshawdow Tn
Philippine issue. 1t is thought to be
quite likely, at democratic headquar-
tiers, that something in the way OF
definite proposition for joint debate
will soon develop.

PRODUCTION OF CORN
Fertility of the Nile Valley Pales
Into Insignificance When
Compared to Illinois.

The much boasted fertility of the
Nile valley pales into insight icance
when compared with the products OF
the corn raising sections of Central
Illinois.
Census figures just out show that In
1899 Mclean and Champlain counties
each produced over $4,000, 600 bushels
OF corn, Livingston aud LaSalle pro.
duced over 100000 each; Iroquois
more than 100000, and Vermillion
100000. Twenty-seven counties
produced from 5000, 900 to 10000, 900
bushels, and fifty-eight counties from
100000 to 100000 bushels each. In
addition to this, enormous quantities
of hay and other grain were grown,
Mclean county growing over 9.O0O,O
bushels of oats, Iroquois over 5000. 900
bushels, with LaSalle and Champlain
following with large yields.
Any doubt 80 to the permanent value
of corn belt land is readily dispelled
by perusaI of these astounding figures.

A COTTON SEED WAR.
A Rivalry Between Buyers Send:
the Price UP to &c. a BusheI.

From the Albany Herald.
A cotton seed war appears to have
broken out in Albany, and dodger
which an enterprising East Albany
merchant is distributing announces
that he has been instrumental in hav
ing the price of the seed advanced to
q cents per bushel.
This is more than cotton seed have
ever brought in this market.
Whether the advance IN ice is
due to the fact that another cotton oil
mill here is nearing completion and
will soon be ready for business the
the Herald is not prepared to say,
though it must be admitted that it is
perfectly natural to presume that this
has something to do with it.
Those who ought to know say that
there is no profit for an oil mill in
handling cotton seed that cost 27c. a
hushel, but this is not matter for the
farmers to worry over, and they will
profit by the war between the buyers
as long as it lasts.

NEW SCHOOL FUND.
Walnut Logs a Source of ReVe-

The territorial school land depart

creation of a new fund of $4,000, on
deposit with the territorial treasurer
known as the walnut log fund, says
Guthrie (Okla) dispatch to the St
Louis Globe-Democrat. The money is
derived from the sale of dead and dy-
ING walnut timber on school lands and
from territorial lands.
The log business has recently be-
come one of the most important in the
department on account Of the great
value of walnut timber found IN
southwestern Oklahoma. A posse or
special agents and detectives are kept
there by the territory to guard the
forest and prevent poaching by outside
parties, who make big profit by ship
ping the timber to Germany. The
federal government also has a force OF
special agents guarding walnut timber

or and have curly black hair. All ef-
forts to civilize them have been In
vain" He gives the first discovery OF
the islands to a European, Magellan,
in March, 1921, who arrived that month
at Butuan, MindanaO.
The compiler has added notes show
ing the date of the appointment OF the
first Spanish governor, Miguel Bopez
de Legaspi, during the reign OF Phlllp
II. in 1865; how Gomez Desmarinas
built the walls of Manila in 1890 ana
the thorough establishment of the
church rule in the provinces. The chi
nese instruction in 1645, the volcanic
disturbances in 1641, the terrible earth
quake in 1915 and the work of the Chi
nese filibusters and the English invad-
ers in 1862. The chapters devoted to
physical geography and to descr1p-
ton of the provinces are written with
a detail that is remarkable to be con-
fined to such limited work.
Mr.. Spencer spent some time in the
islands after closely reading this book,
and he says the descriptions are really
better than anything he has read In
any geography, history, atlas or ency'
clopedia published. The book is bound
in strong red linen cloth and bears an
imprint of a cocoanut tree, two native
huts and a pelican. The effect to pro-
duce these in gilt shows the crude
methods employed in the print and
book shops of Manila. On his return
to America Mr.. Spencer was impor-
tuned by a San Francisco publisher to
allow him to have the book for repro
duction, but the request was refused.
During his stay in the islands he says
he never heard of another copy of the
| book, and this leads to the belief that
it is a rare publication.

william Spencer of Terrell, Tex. has
recently returned from the Philip
pines, where he was connected with
the army, says a special dispatch from
Fort Worth, Tex, to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. While stationed at
Vigan he went into an old cathedral,
which was formerly the show place of
the province, and there he found
book, which he brought home with
him, and it has proved to be one OF
great value. An Introductory note
shows that it was prepared, so far as
the descriptive portions go, by Fran
cisco Xavier, a famous Spanish Jesuit
missionary, who was born at the cas-
tie of Xaviero, Navarro, April Z, 1906,
and died on the island Of Sancain Dec.
2, 1852. He was known as the "apos-
tie of the Indies" His letters were
edited in 1895.
The book was translated into Eng
lish by William Parties, printer and
photographer, 2, and 6 Santa Ana
square. 1t is a small book of $50 pages,
crude in its printing and binding, but
the paper and cover show careful
work. On the first page appears the
following: "The geographical part OF
this handbook is an authorized trans
lation of the 'Compendio de Geografia
de las Islas Filipinas,' by P. Francis
co X. Baranera, S. j." OF the inhabit-
ants the book tells: 1.-THE aboriginal in

Odd-LOOking Republican Convention.

state convention will assemble at Bir-

is said the number of black faces in it
will be very small-the smallest in the

The reason is that only qualified
