Safety of Dominion Endangered by
Retention of American Engineers.

WINNIPEG, Man. Aug S.-"Tamp-
ering with the military safety of Cana
da." This is the latest charge that
the Society of Amalgamated Engineers
eminent in dealing with the deporta-
ton of aliens" said the secretary of
the order last evening.
A fortnight ago we officially in
structed the secretary to write Sir Will
liam Mulock. calling his attention to
the fact that James II. Bacon. one of
the alien engineers in a chief position
with the Grand Trunk Pacific, was act
ually a member of the United States
army corps of engineers, had seen ser
vice with the cOlors in the Philippines
and was now nominally on leave of alb
sence granted by the American war
office, and reporting to his superior Of
ficer, Captain Gillette, corps of engi-
neers at Cumberland Sound
This gentleman has been engaged
while here in reporting on the possible
defences at Port Simpson, Fort Will
liam and Port Arthur. The detailed
information he has been obtaining
would be of value to a foreign govern
ment in the event of war, as Simpson
and the lake terminals are vulnerable
points on the Grand Trunk Pacific"
Bacon was one of the men ordered
by Judge Winchester to be deported.

CHASES CHILD ACROSS WORLD
Couple Arrested in Chicago Result Of
Complaint Of Parents in Denmark

CHICAGO, Aug S-Because of
their fondness for a pretty. flaxen-
haired. blue child, the tiny daugh-
ter of one of their neighbors. in Den
mark, Mr.. and Mrs. William Jensen are
in custody by the federal authorities
on a charge of kidnapping the child
and fleeing with it to this country
For two reasons the Danish govern
ment has searched for little Elsie Gel
lert. The Gellerts were poor people
and Jensen was a prosperous fish mer-
chant near the historic town of Fred
recia, close to the Schleswig- Holstein
border line.
Being childless, the Jensens obtained
permission, they declare, to take the
child into their family without any
formality of adoption. Jensen sold
his business on June IS, 1902, and
emigrated to America. without inform
ing Elsie's parents of their departure
The parents appealed to the Danish
government to begin the search. From
New York to Baltimore, from Baltimore
to Erie. Pa, and then to Chicago. the
Jensens were traced and finally cap
tured today.

Wheat Crop Damaged.

We will have Only about half a
wheat crop this year" said Mr.. Odgers.
The week before the Fourth of July
we had freeZe-and then the next few
days the sun came out blisterng hot,
and shot the wheat all to pieces. We
did not have our usual June rains, and
that hurt some. too.
while the wheat crop will not be
nearly as large as we expected, the far
mers of the Big Bend will not go broke
by any means, for the big cropV of pre-
vious years put them on easy street
financially. Still we would not have
complained had the crop this year been
the largest on record. for we ara an
easy-going people. and take what
comes our way without complaint
Mr.. Odgers was president of that ia
nous conference of two years ago
When President Hill of the Great
Northern, President Mellen of the
Northern Pacific, and President Mellen
of the O. r. & n, met with the far
mers of the Big Bend country, and sat
down to a chicken dinner with them
while discussing freight rates to Pu-
get Sound.
Mr.. Odgers attended the democratic
convention at Bellingham and the
ticket nominated suits him down to
the ground. H expects to see George

object in view.
During his months work on the west
shore Of Cooks Inlet, DR.. Martin made
/ map of the shore from a point north
Chnitna Bay to the mouth of llama
Bay. including the shores of Chinitna
Bay. Dry Bay, Oil Bay, and Enochkin
Bay. This map will show not only the
outline of the shore but the position
of the principal mountains, the loca-
lions Of the camps and trails, and
the boundaries of the belt within
which petroleum may be looked for.
The surface indications of petroleum
in this region consist of seepages, or
oil springs. and sO-called gas springs.
Two wells were drilling in this field.
one at Oil Bay and one at Dry Bay.
The former is reported to have struck
a flow of % barrels of petroleum at a
depth of about 500 feet but later
strong flow of water was encountered
that shut off the flow of Oil. The ship
ment of petroleum from this field
would PROBABLY be made from Enoch-
kin and Chinitna bays, which are har-
large vessels in all weather as we'll as

weather. If docks should be con-

NINE REPUBLICAN ORGANS IN
LINCOLN COUNTY ARE VERY
MUCH DISPLEASED.
James Ogders, the Veteran Davenport
Editor, Discusses the Political
Outlook in State.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. S.-"There
are nine republican papers in Lincoln
county, and every one of them has re-
pudiated the republican state ticket"
said James Odgers, editor of The Dav-
export Tribune. this morning.
If their protestations count for
anything" continued Mr.. Odgers, the
republicans of the Big Bend country
will have nothing to do with the ticket
nominated by the railroad influences in
Tacoma. The delegates to the repub-
lican convention from our part of the
state came back sore, and the sore
spots show no signs of healing. Tur-
ner will sweep the eastern part of the
state like cyclone and he will get
the thousands of republican votes.
Farmers Are Sore.
The republicans or the Big Bend do
not like the way the republican ticket
was nominated. They do not care
much about the men who are on the
ticket, but they are particularly sore
about the way the nominations were
parceied out, They claim that the
eastern part of the state did not get
square deal and that so far as having
convention, the delegates from east of
the mountains might just as we'll have
sent postal card.
The railroad bosses dominated the
convention. They damned the nomi-
nations down the threats of the far
mers and the farmers do not like the
dose. Their turn will come in Novem-
Der, and if they all vote the way they
talk there will be big surprise in
store for the railroad bosses, who have
come to think they own the state"
He Is Pioneer.
Mr.. Odgers is one of the pioneers of
the state. With three other men he
laid out the towns of COulee CITY and
Almira and then waited for the rail-
road and the boom to come along. He
got tip that the yards for a division
point were to be laid out on eighty
acres Of shale rock that he owned. and
the tip looked SO good to him that he
turned down an offer of $4,000 for the
property.
The engineer of the railroad left
town the next day and Mr. Odgers has
not seen him since. He says it was
then waking up, for Coulee City re-
fused to boom, and Mr.. Odgers moved
to Davenport and established The Trib-

Err. ,lason's Health is Improving.

The many friends Of Dr.. 7. j. MaSor

know that his health is greatly i'm
proved, and that the chances for hi:
recovery are good. 1t will be remem
bered that the doctor suffered ar
acute attack Of lilight'S Disease De
cember -, in .julesburg, and that he
was taken to St JoSeph'S hospital, in
Denver several days later. Physicians
in Denver, rs well As DR.. Rhyan. who
attended him in Ju!csburg, stated that
there was no hope for his recovery
and that death was only a question OF
weeks, or months, at most. However,
notwithstanding the dircful predic'
tions Of h.S physicians Dr. Mason has
been steadily gaining ground, and last
Saturday was so much improved that
he was able to leave the hospital and
go to his home.
c. f. Parker and w. II. Pound. of

yer last week and they brought the
news Of his improvesd health to his
friends here. The doctors eyesight,
which was at first seriously, and it was
feared permanently, affected, is grow
ing better and it is thought that he
will recover it entirely. His general
improvement is attributed to his Splen

stricken with the dread disease and
also to his nerve, which has no doubt
materially contributed to his rccov-

has sold gaSolene engines and pump
ing plants for irrigation to several To-
cal parties. V. Dech and a: J. Viii.

chased plants, aud others are figuring
on doing so. Mr.. Nash claims that
where the lift is not over thirty feet
his plants will furnish sufficient water
to irrigBte from 40 to POO acres, accord,
ing to the capacity OF the plant.

Editor Price Grows EacStious.

Brother Price. of the Sterling Demo
crat. has been interviewing some dis
gruutled fireman. negro porter. or 9TH
nr equally well Informed individuals:
either this or he has had another Of
his periodical pipe dreams, - for in
the last issue of his paper he delivers
himself Of the following:
"Julesburg viii be Il mere speck on
the railroad map as soon as General
Superintendent Grubcr's order abol-
iShing the Colorado division goes into
effect. When that becomes effective,
which will be very soon. the Union
Pacific viii have no use for anything
cNcept Il SiGctraCk at Julesburg, the
division will come to Sterling, where
it belongs. and Brother BraXtan will
have to come up To Sterling OH a
freight to catch train east or west.
We told you it would be SO and it
will"
The brother may be right about our
having to 20 to Sterling on Il freight
train, if pcrchance we find it necessary
TO visit that town on business, but it
will not be because passenger trains
will not stop IN lulcsburg: rather it
will be because of the fact that only
freight trains will stop at Sterling,
and they only to take water.
We do not know how Brother Price
hi INF n Int in
the intentions of the Union Pacific
railroad company, unless it was Secur-
ed from the sources we suggested at
the beginning. Its recital certainly
sounds like it came from such sources.
1t surely is not sufficiently authentic
TO satisfy Il MisSourian, and in this
case we have some of the attributes Of
that individual-wc must be shown"
Even if our Sterling brother We're
able to show" us that his informa
tiun was authentic, our grief would
not be great. The removal of the di-
vision from this place, and the dis
mantling of the roundhOuse here,
would not seriously affect the town.
Two or three families would probably
follow the divisiOn-that's all. While
we would not Willingly lose even this
number of people. the loss would not
prove very disastrous. Julesburg is
too prosperous, and the country sur
rounding it is too thrifty to be serious
ly affected by any little thing like the
loss of Il railroad division.
The natural advantages of Julesburg
and Sedgwicl1 county are greater than
those of any other locality in north
eastern Colorado. and unlike Sterling,
.Iulesburg can afford to lose a few Of
her artificial advantages without ma
teral injury. However, she will not
stand for the loss of any of these latter
without Il fight.

Melon growers associations
have been formed in Logan and
Morgan counties and from 200 to
500 acres of cantaloupes will be
grown this season in each county.
The object in forming an associa-
ton is to secure Il market for the
melons. Any one of a number OF
commission houses will arrange
to buy melons in any community
where 100 or more acres are
grown and will pay the highest
market price for them. An effort
will be made by the farmers of
Sedgwick county to form an asso-
citation and plant at least 100
acres to melons this season. 1t is
believed that this experiment will
prove more satisfactory, as well
as more profitable, than raising
sugar beets.
