past ure and were missing He began tele.
phoning TO his neighbors and within five
minutes had the strays located without
the telephone he would have put in two
hours looking for them.
A few minutes later a half bushel OF
peaches which had blown from the trees
during the night were brought in. and 1t was
evident that they must be put up right away
in order to save them. The housewife had
not sufficient supply of sugar. 1t re-
CURED only minute to telephone to town,
five miles away. and the rural delivery
carrier brought the sugar out two hours
later.
The farmer int ended to put up hay. but
before doing so he telephoned TO the post
office, where the Government weather
report was received daily by telegraph
and asked what the weather indications
were. He was told that storms We're threat
ened A a consequence, he did not cut his
hay and probably avoided a conside rable
loss
The farmers wife ed 70 put I'D her

British New Guinea are bright. He says
II will not be long before the wonderful
wealth and possibilities Of this territory are
better understood and he believes that
interest will soon take a practical turn and
result in the opening up Of the virgin field
for Australian capital and enterprise.
Nothing can prevent New Guinea from
becoming one of the richest islands in the
world. II comprises every range of tenn
perature, every class of soil and has a
splendid, regular rainfall, fine rivers and
numbers of excellent natural harbors.
While gold is likely TO be- the economic
backbone Of the colony there are also many
thousands of acres on which rubber trees
are thriving, the agricultural possibiit les
are large and though the pastoral country
is small II is equal To the finest in he world
and its grass is SO nourishing that the
cattle brought to the coast settlements
are almost too fat for market
Thousands of acres along the rivers are
admirably adapted for agriculture. Only
the fringe of the gold-bearing country has
been touched; there is still great interior
silent and unknown, awaiting the pioneer
and prospector.

The whaler Eclipse arrived az Dundee
this week from the Davis Straits whale

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. l5--It il difficult TO
realize the great change which has taken
place in the West particularly in the region
lying between the Missouri River and the
Rocky MOUNTAINS. Unless one has lived
through these changes and Witnessed them
they are almost beyond belief
This great change is well ilust rated In
the experience of j. G. Norton, n farmer
who lives near Moran. Allen county. Kan
Nr. Norton settled there with his parents
tmrtv-Onc years ago.
At that time" he said, zone could get
on horse and gallop for miles in any di-
TrC,iun and never see a house or sign Of

one ton Of bone and twenty tons Of oil.
Then the weather grew steadily worse,
, and on Sept. II Capt. Cooney decided 10
make for Dexterity Fiord, one Of the many
natural harbors on the coast TO which
whalers turn in stress of weather. A
snothering snowstorm accompanied the
gale and the Nova Zemba was sailing
before the wind
When she was some distance from land
the storm abated considerably: the sun
broke through and the crew saw the coast
clear before them. Immediately after this
CLEAN of sunshine The sky darkened and
the storm renewed.
About 1870 o'clock az night she went on
the rocks some distance from the harbor.

steam pump was also set in motion. The
