Geological Survey Of the state.

The Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College has begun a geo
logical and industrial survey Of the
State. This promises to be the most
important piece of work ever under
taken by that institution and it en-
phasizes a function of. the institu-
ton that has not been sufficiently
prominent in the past, that is, the
college is intended not only to give
instruction to the boys and young
men of the State, but, through its
experiment station, its farmers in
s%titutes, and its other industrial de-
partments, to help in the material
development of the State. AS an
object lesson to what should be ac-
complished in every county of the
State, the board of trustees of the
institution have authorized a geolog-
ical and industrial survey Of Oktib-
beha county embracing the following
features:
By DR.. W. N. Logan, Professor of
Geology and Mining: 1. Physiog-
raphy-The surface features, relief,
etc. 2. photography - Streams,
lakes, wells, springs, water supply,
rainfall, etc. 3. Stratigraphy-The
geological formations, their distribu-
ton, dip, relations, fossils, etc. 4.
Economic Geography-(a) Clements
"A report IN experiments in the
manufacture of cements from the va
rious formations of the county. (b)
Building Material-The manufac-
ture Of brick, etc.
By Prof. W. L. Hutchinson, Di-
rector of the Mississippi Experiment
Station: Soils and fertilizers.
By DR.. W. f. Hand, State Chem
list: Artesian waters, and water
supply.
BY Prof. eileen W. Herrick, Pro-
fessor of Biology: Grasses and live
stock.
By Prof. A. B. Mckay, Professor
of Horticulture Trucking and for
estry.
By Prof. J. w. Fox, Professor of
Civil and Rural Engineering: Dirt
roads and road materials.
The result of these Investigations
will be published as a special report
to the Legislature, and will furnish
facts that will enable the legislature
to determine definitely whether or
not such a geological and industrial
survey would be of practical value to
the State. 1t is the belief by those
who have studied the question that
this work must be done, if Mississip-
pi is to be properly and intelligently
advertised to the world in her true
light as having the greatest undevel-
oped resources of any State in the
Union.

Mail Route to Einelaud,

Congressman Buchanan has Just re-
ceived notice from the postof1ice de-
partment that a new mail route has
been established between Vineland and

The department declined to estab-

Vineland is in Adam Bede's district,
but most Of the route is in Buckman's
district. The two congressman re-
Gently joined in pressing the depart
ment to establish the route, and new

Every day all the telegraph Offices
cut their connection with the rest of

noon and connect with Washington,
D. G.. Just when the sun crosses the
meridian of that city a signal is sent to
all parts Of the country by which the
timepieces of the land are tested and

at least a few minutes each day during
which we cut ourselves off from all
worry and care and just rest. Golden

The overturned and abandoned OUT
building that has been occupying a
conspicuous place on court house
square for some time is not a part of
the old stockade that was put up dur
ing the Indian outbreak nor has it been
sold to the State historical society if it
is relic. Some say it is to be used as
a pest house while others say it is to
be converted into band stand. It was
sold at one time by the county COM
missioners but like the cat it came
back, or rather didn't go away at all.
The county dads should call special
meeting to dispose of the abandoned
piece of court house furniture.

A FINE PREMIUM LIST.
Minnesota State Fair Makes Liberal Of
fers-The New List just Out.


fers-The New List just Out
Liberal premiums in all departments
have characterized the offerings of the
Minnesota State fair for many years,
but this seasons premium list, which
has Just been issued from the press,
rather excels all previous premium
schedules made by the society. Over
$4,000 is offered to exhibitors. This
is divided among the usual classes, but
includes many additions, such as four
or five premiums for lot where before
there were only three, or the insertion
of new lots, or the actual increase of
the amount of a premium in a standard
classification. The list includes full de-
tails of the national exhibitions of the
Herefords and Shorthorns, which will
be features of the cattle division again
this year. Among the interesting items
in this department is a new class for
Minnesota Shorthorns, in which out
side breeders may not compete. II. +.
Brown and N. P. Clark have generously
agreed not to enter their cattle in this
competition, thus leaving it open for
the smaller breeders of the State. Ar
engagements for the county exhibits
have been made even more generous
than heretofore, and for farmers indi-
vidual exhibits there are new prem
iums. The same is true of poultry,
sheep, swine, and other classes. The
Minnesota State fair always pays it's
premiums promptly and is especially
liberal in it's treatment of exhibitors.
1t is believed that the revised premium
list for 1903 will lead to much larger
exhibits and that there will be more
general participation by all classes of
people than ever before. Premium
lists may be secured without cost by
addressing the secretary of the fair,
E. w. Randall, Hamline, MINI. The
fair opens on August 81 and continues
to September 5. Among the new build
ings this year will be the agricultural
implement building now being erected
at a cost of $4,000, and the new swine
exhibition building. Many other i'm
provements are being made on the
grounds.

DROWNED LIKE RATS
Thousands of Cinnamon Lost
in Typhoon Off Swallow.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 29.-Advices
were received from South China by the
Athenian of the loss of thousands OF
lives as a result of the destruction OF
several hundred fishing junks in a
typhoon off Swallow.
The havoc was awful when the gales
swept down on the vessels. For days
disabled junks drifted helplessly about,
their occupants suffering from thirst
and hunger.
The Hongkong government tender
Stanley rescued a number, picking up
eight junks and taking 1872 men off the
vessels that were abandoned The
Stanley then returned to the rescue,
for the rescued fishermen reported
there were 400 junks fishing off SWa-
tow when the typhoon came on Nov. 4.
From the Stanley fifty seven disabled
junks were seen flying signals OF dis
tress. Several junks were towed to
Hongkong and then relief cruise was
made.
Meanwhile three torpedo boat de-
stroyers, the naval water boat Cherub
and Chinese cruiser were sent out
and rescued many Several hundred
men were taken from wrecked crafts
suffering greatly, some being without
food or water from two to five days.
Of the 400 fishing junks, at least 800
are reported disabled or sunk and
thousands of lives were lost.

Japanese Paper Suggests AS
sassination of the Marquis.

TOXIC, Nov. 29.-The dragging Of
the Russo Japanese negotiations and
the manner in which Russia is using
the delay to continue aggressive tao
tics, the policy of provoking Japan
having lately given place to pressure
upon China, is causing considerable
agitation in Japan. Attacks against
the delays in negotiations have lately
concentrated in charge that Marquis
Ito is a Russophile, and after the pub
lication of strong memorial to the
marquis by the anti-Russian union,
whose delegations were refused an
audience by Marquis Ito, the Nippon,
an antf-Russian paper, on Nov. 10,
marquis OF -nNtiC mi ....r theme
suggested the assassination of Mar
quis Ito. The issue was prohibited by
the authorities but not before it had
been widely circulated.
Viceroy Yuan Shin Kai has strongly
memorialized the government to de-
eide upon a resolute policy against
Russia, claiming that Japan and Amer
lea, being inclined to resist Russian
aggression in Manchuria, would sup
port China. The reconstruction of the
cabinet has resulted in a marked stiff
fleming against Russian demands
A weekly newspaper printed in
English has been established by Rus
slams at Port Arthur to advocate an
Anglo Russian alliance.
