THEY ARE ASKED TO MOVE OUT

Especial Dispatch to The Times


MARION, VA, July 19.-1t has become
known that the Hospital Board at it's
meeting last week decided that the fam
lilies of the physicians to the hospital
must move out OF the hospital by Sep
TENDER 1st- Since not inconsiderable
part of the cost of the administration
building was to provide quarters for the
families o. officials. in which they have
lived ever since the building was erected
there has been much surmising why this
change was made and what use will be
made of the vacated rooms.
It is said the happy families of the
officials did not always make a happy
official family, and the board took this
action to lessen friction.
Yesterday morning found six young
men and two young ladies here to stand
the Peabody examination, but no one
was here to examine them. The Vir-
ginia School Journal had announced
Marion one of the places at which an
examination would be held, but no one
had been designated to hold the exami-
nation. Professor B. e. Copenhouer
telegraphed DR.. southall. and to-day re-
ceived the questions and put the appli-
cants to work at ~ o'clock. For several
years Smyth and Grayson counties have
furnished a large quota Of Peabody
students.
TO ENLARGE SCHOOL.
The Town Council at its last meeting
made an appropriation to enlarge the
public school building. and the School
Board will add another teacher next
session. Mr.. James J. Delaney. of Bris-
toll. has been elected principal. with Miss
Martin, of Gallatln, Tenn; Miss Moor
man, of Rustburg; Miss Gait. of Smyth
county, and Miss Lynn, of Freder!cks-
burg, assistants. The Marion High School,
it is believed, under these teachers will
maintain its high standard and local
popularity.
Mrs. N L. Look has been very Ill for
the past ten days. and 1t is feared can
not long survive unless there Is some
change in her conulton.
RYE VALLEY ROAD.
A few weeks ago 1t was thought
railroad to Rye Valley and Grayson
county from this place would be COM
1nenced at once; in fact, it was a con-
test as to which of tow roads wiuld be-
gin work first, but now both seem to
have quoted down, and little is heard
OF either. though those In a position to
know say the Marion and Rye Valley
Road will soon be extended.
An official Of the Norfolk and Western
Railway was here not long since to see
about new depot at this place. 1t Is
hoped the company will build at once a
new and modern depot in the place Of
the very inferior and small one now
here.

been practically inaccessible.
1.-The great plain of the Hauran-the
granary of Syria-forms the 'hinter-
land or back country, of Palestine.
The railroad from Beirut to Damascus
is said to be in financial difficulties.
Twelve months ago the German consul
ut Damascus, in a report to his govern
ment, advised his countrymen to buy
not only this railroad but the unfinished
Damascus railroad as well.
Were Germany to acquire these lines
and connect them with railroad run
ming from Damascus to some point on
the projected Bagdad route she would
be in position to practically monopo-
lie the trade of Palestine and Asia
Minor.
THE commerce of Palestine to-day is
not unimpOrtant,' said Mr. Harris ac-
cording to the Washington Star. 1.-The
products of the country are wheat, bar
Icy, oranges, oil. wine, nuts. figs. apples,
peaches, pears. pomegranates apricots,
citrons, almonds. cucumbers, lettuce.
onions. wild artichokes and asparagus,
truffleS. tobacco. sesame and silk, while

American vegetables are being intro

RAILROADS IN IT
SAID TO BE PRINCIPAL MOVERS
IN SHIP COMBINE.
Desire to Control Rates From Principal Centers
In This Country to European Centers.
New York Central. Pennsylvania, Erie.
Reading and Baltimore and Ohio Among
Those Namsd-Ths Usual Secrecy.

New York, May S.-The Evening Post
says that dispatch to that paper from
London to the effect that some of the
large American railroads are to be the
principal owners of the steamship com.
bine was confirmed in Trustworthy
quarters. The Post says:
Efforts are being made, however, to
keep the matter as secret as possible.
because. of the opposition which has
been stirred up abroad, and which might
arise here in case the facts were known
in regard to owners of the steamship
companies.
1t is admitted in well-informed circles
that it is planned to make the ocean
lines feeders to the large railroads of the
companies OF the United States so that
it will be possible to control rates from
the principal interior points of this
country to leading European centers.
Several large railroad companies are
represented in the underwriting syndi-
cate for $50, 600, 900, which has Just been
formed to guarantee the success of the
steamship deal, and these are supposed
to be the Pennsylvania, New York Cen
trail, Erie, Reading and Baltimore 4 Ohio
although there is some doubt whether
al of these will come in.
In regard to the railroads, it should be
said that their interest in the underwrit-
ing does not necessarily imply that they
have officially subscribed as yet to the
syndicate, but subscriptions have been
offered which are intended for them, and
those who have taken them are agents
for the railroads.

WANT A DELEGATE.
But Territorial Government Is Not tor the Best
Interests Of Alaska.

Douglas City, Alaska, April 12.-At
the last meeting of the city council the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The attention of Congress
has been directed to Alaska by the agita-
ton of the question of territorial form
of government for this district;
And whereas, 1t is believed that such
q step would be unwise at this time for
the reasons that the industries of Alaska
are yet in their infancy, and on them
would fall the burden OF the taxes neces-
sary to sustain such government, at a
time when they need encouragement
and support, rather than taxation ;
therefore be it
Resolved, by the board Of councilmen
of Douglas City, Alaska,
First-That we heartily indorse the
bill introduced by Congressman Cush-
man asking for delegate to congress to
represent Alaska;
Second-That we are opposed to the
enactment OF any law, at this time, Civ
ing Alaska territorial form of govern
ment, as premature and inimical to the
best interests OF this district;
Third-That copy of these resolu.
tions, duly authenticated. be sent to the
chairmen of the committees on terrific
ries of the senate and house of repre-
sentatives of the United States, to Con-
gresham Cushman, to the newspapers
of Alaska and the Seattle newspapers.

indianapolis, Ind, May Mrs. D. NJ.
Parry, wife of President Parry, of the
National Manufacturers Association,
who recently returned from Cuba, in a
paper read here before local society
yesterday, stated that the impression
prevails in Havana that the United States
government will not allow the wreck OF
the Maine to be raised for fear the claims
OF the Spanish that the explosion was
from the inside will be verified. She said :
1.-THE Spaniards always claimed the
magazine of the vessel exploded from
some accidental cause and that the iron
structure of the vessel would be found to
be twisted outward caused by the inside
exploding force. We never admitted the
Spaniards to participate in this investi-
cation. Though they begged to be allow
ed to Join in the investigation that the
honor OF their nation might be shown to
be guiltless of such an atrocious crime,
this privilege was denied them.
at is said that the government has
quite a knowledge of these facts and
rather than be placed in the humiliating
position before the world of having begun
a war without cause, the Maine will be
permitted to remain at the bottom OF
Havana harbor."

The building of the canal resulted in
reversing the flow of the Chicago Riv-
err, feat long regarded as an impossi-
bility. The river which formerly emp
tied into the lake is now an outlet of
the lake and empties at it's other end
into the canal proper. Even yet Chicago
is debating as to which is up and which
is down the river, which is it's head and
which it's mouth.
The waters flowing through the canal
are emptied into the Desplaines River at
Lockport, through the controlling
works. which comprise several sluice-
gates of metal with masonry bulkheads
and a bear-trap dam. This dam is re-
garded by the canal trustees as "the
greatest triumph Of engineering genius
that has ever been achieved in this or
or any other country"
The slulce- gates have a vertical play
of twenty feet and openings of thirty
feet each. The bear-trap dam has an
opening of 100 feet and an oscillation Of
seventeen feet vertically. The con-
trolling works are operated by admit.
ting water through conduits controlled
by valve.

Washington, May 10.-With pomp
and circumstance exceeding that of any
naval officer in this country, in recent
years at least, the remains of William
L. Sampson, rear admiral in the United
States navy, were laid at rest. Every
department of the national government
was represented. The military and
naval features of the ceremonies were
brilliant and impressive. They were
conducted under direction OF Rear Adj
miral Terry, commandant of the WASH
ington navy yard, assisted by Lieut..
Henry George, the adjutant general.
The funeral escort was composed OF

artillery. commanded by Capt. Foote
and drawn from Fort Myer; the naval
cadets from Annapolis. 247 strong, a
corps that never has paraded in WASH

Atlantic squadron, of which Rear
Admiral Sampson was formerly COM
mander.

to look after the health of the trees in
Prospect Park.
Most of the interest in city trees is
directly due to the growing fashion
for country houses and estates CITY
men have learned to recognize good
trees when they see them and to OBJ
serve them closely enough to detect
promptly any sign of approaching de-
cay. Landscape architects, who used
to be scarce, are now plentiful and
able, and they have succeeded in edu-
eating such a considerable proportion
of the general public that complaint is
soon made if the trees of city shows
symptoms of municipal neglect or i'll
treatment. Indeed, since the days Of
Secretary of Agriculture Morton, who
established "Arbor day" there has
been regular campaign of education
in favor of city trees. The direct eff
feet of this work has been the crea-
ton of the tree DOCTOR"
The 'tree doctor" is not necessarily
a practical landscape architect, or gar
dener. says the Brooklyn Eagle, though
he very often stands high in that pro-
fession. More than one of the really
successful men In this new occupation
actually knew very little about trees
until few years ago. Many of them
were amateurs who became interested,
in the subject and took it up as an
amusement. At that time there were
few facilities for the acquisition of
tree knowledge. but in recent years it
has not been hard for intending doc
tors of trees to gather knowledge Of
the best methods of arboriculture,

WASHINGTON WHEAT.
IfoP outlook This Year Said to Equal That Of
act

Seattle, May 9.-"The wheat crop Of
Washington is now in more promising
condition than it has been this early in
the season for years, and the outlook is
Tor crop this year fully as large as the
phenomenal yield obtained from the
wheat fields in 1901"
This statement was made by E. Cardin,
the manager OF the Seattle Grain Com
pany, yesterday, in his Office in the
Globe building Mr.. Cardin returned
yesterday morning from trip through
a number OF the most important wheat
producing districts in the state, in
Adams and Lincoln counties, and he re-
ceived advices from the Walla Walla,
Palouse and Horse Heaven countries
which confirm his actual observations.
1t has been predicted that the crop this
year will be 25 per cent. below that of
last year, 1000, 900 bushels, the record,
but MIR. Cardin is of the opinion that the
1902 crop will equal if not exceed it's
predecessor.
1.-The wheat lands which | have just
seen resemble one vast lawn" continued
MIR. Cardin. II hever saw more beau
tlful sight in my life. Stretching away
for miles and miles is this beautiful
green carpet. For several weeks early
in the season the weather was cold.
The wheat farmers began to feel that
the season was not going to be propitious
and were somewhat discouraged, but all
the while the wheat was growing down
and getting good start. This was seen
as soon as the first warm weather came
and the warm sunlight to draw it
upward. Now all kinds of grain are
springing up and are enjoying more
substantial growth than would have
been the case if the spring had opened
warm.
"Ten per cent more wheat land is
under cultivation in the state than last
year. This will make material addi-
tion to the years production. The new
land is located in nearly ali the wheat
districts and is under cultivation largely
by newcomers from the East.
"The outlook for prices and for hand
ling the coming crop is extremely good,
too. Never before have the warehouses
OF Washington been so depleted of grain.
Last years wheat has been sold so close
that market conditions in the East have
little effect on the local market. There
is almost no wheat left in the country.
The new crop will come into clean
elevators. The prospect of doing bust
ness with new wheat exclusively is graf.
flying"

PALESTINE WAKING UP.

Many Signs of Progress Due to Ger
man Enterprise.
According to United States Consular
has shown unmistakable signs of pro-
gress during the last decade, much of
which is to be attributed to German
enterprise.
German colonists, merchants and
horticulturists," says Mr.. Harris, "are
awakening that part of the Levant
from lethargy Of a thousand years.
Three years ago German bank was
established in Jerusalem, with Il
branch in Yafa, which exchanged $15,-
100000 in 1901. The waters of the
Dead Sea. where no rudder had been
seen for centuries. are now being piled
by German motor boats. \ direct line
of communication has thus been opened
up between Jerusalem and Kerak, the
ancient capital of the land of Moab,
which still commands the caravan
routes leading across the Arabian
desert.
''There is no doubt that German en-
terprise will also exploit the phosphate
fields situated on both sides of the Jor-
dan. when transportation facilities
shall have been sufficiently developed
to insure success to the undertaking.
"For many years Germany has been
looking to Asia Minor and other coun-
tries adjacent to Palestine as suitable
territories in which to develop German
markets. The Bagdad railroad, which
will lead through Anatolia, intersecting
the headwaters of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates, to the shores of the Persian
Gulf, is an enterprise of vast import
ance, not only to Germany. as the pro-
moter. and the Turkish empire, but to
the world at large. 1t is the greatest
commercial and civiliZing factor that
could be introduced into this region,
and will tap the rich territories which
composed ancient Mesopotamia. Apart
from new avenues of commerce a land
will be opened up to students and tour

Export Flour Rates EquaIized.

Chicago. May THE Chicago. Mil.
waukee & St. Paul railroad has placed
export -four on level with wheat in the
matter of Transportation charges. This
action will probably be followed by all
the Western lines with similar rates,
and means saving of millions yearly to
the mills of the Northwest. For years
past the millers have vigorously con.
tended that if the rates were made the
same on wheat and flour, grain would
not be taken from the United States,
but would he made into flour here and
then shipped for export.

OD HE Sanitary and Ship Canal of
Chicago is probably the most re-
markable artificial waterway
ever built in the history of the world.
Its total length, including the improved
portion of the Chicago River, is thirty
four miles. 1t has the greatest width
of any canal on earth. having cross
section of POP feet at the bottom and
3OG feet at the top. The ultimate object
is to afford water way for the largest
ocean-gOing vessels from Lake Michi-
gan to the Gulf of Mexico.
The work is yet being carried on I'M
ceasingly, the widening of the Chicago
River being now in progress. Residents
OF Chicago have already spent $37,37S.-
$40 in the construction of the canal
They must spend nearly $1O,OOO,OOO
more before their part of the work is
done. Then it will cost $25,OOO,OOO ad-
dtional to complete the work necessary
to the proposed shipway. This latter
expense. however, it is expected. will be
borne by the Federal Government, and
the entire canal will become Govern
ment property.
Thus the total cost when the work at
present contemplated is finished will
have amounted to more than $50, OOO,-
600. The Panama Canal is offered to
the United States for $4O,OOO,OOO. or
less than half the total cost of the SAM
tary and Ship Canal. Had this canal
been built under conditions that prevail
in Central America it's cost would prob
