Winter Wheat in the South.

The growing of winter wheat is
destined to become a great industry
in the South in the near future. To
many this may seem a broad asser-
ton, and while contrary to public
opinion, it is, nevertheless, fully
substantiated by facts. Public opin-
ion is often nodded by people who
are not we'll qualified to Judge of the
true merits of the question. Such
may have been the misfortune of the
South when the production of wheat
was the issue, for erroneous ideas
concerning the yields that may be
obtained, the character and quail
tbs of the varieties that can be pro-
duced and the general adaptability
of the country for the growth of
wheat of high milling and baking
qualities have prevailed for many
years.-Prof. Andrew M. Soule in

EXPLOSION IN POWDER MILL
Two Men Meet Instant Death AZ n
Result--Report of Explosion
Heard For Miles.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 4.-By an ex-
plosion in the corning mill of the
Dupont-De Nemours Powder Co.'S
plant, near Peckvilie, Monday, two
men met instant death. They were
Richard Hashey, of Jessup, and Walter
Allsworth, of ELEPHANT.
The report of the explosion was
plainly heard in Olyphant and Peck
vile. The roof and sides of the build
ing were blown away and the mill took
fire.
The employees of the other mills
nearby were soon on hand with fire
apparatus, and had the flames under
control in a short time. The bodies
of the unfortunate men were found
among the ruins in a horribly mangled
and burned condition.
This is the fifth time these mills
have blown up in period of 20 years,
and four times within the last four
years, always with fatal results.

Wireless Communication on the Farm.

Wlreless communication on inc farm'
One of the best farmers we ever
knew kept slate hanging up in the
barn and on this slate made entries
something like these:
Weak place in the west field fence ;
Joe, repair it at once.
Take cultivator shovels to shop
next time buggy goes.
Repair Jacks harness and Bob's
bride first wet day.
Frank, see Smith and tell him to
bring log chain home.
Two sows dine to farrow May Is;
keep sharp lookout.
Bunch of red sorrel in south field,
near shade; for self,
Wood pile must be watched; haul
some first chance.
When any job like the one noted
was done, the rule was to erase the
memorandum about 1T, and the man
who kept the slate told us that there
was always friendly rivalry be-
tween himself, his son and the hired
man in the way of keeping the slate
clean. The rule was to scan the
slate whenever anyone came to the
barn, and if he was called away and
there was some work of his own to
be done, instead of telling his wife
ITO tell the boy" a simple entry was
made covering the work to be done
and all went well.

Poultry Notes.

An elevated site is desirable for a
poultry house.
See that the poultry house is well
ventilated.
Leg weakness comes from high
feeding and forced growth.
The use of tobacco as a protection
against moths and other insects is
we'll known, but new adoption is
reported in the form of an extract,
which is said to be fatal to various
forms of insect life. The extract is
prepared from tobacco waste, and is
of about forty per cent. solidity and
nine per cent. strength of nicotine.
Diluted according to its proposed
use, it promptly exterminates the
bugs, but is absolutely harmless to
plant life. The solution-from one
to three per cent. being sufficient for
all ordinary purposes-is sprinkled
or sprayed in the usual manner, and
is winning popularity. Among the
insects on which experiments have
been made with encouraging results
are plant lice, plant wasps, earth
fieas, caterpillars and beetles. The
extract is also used with success for
animal parasites such as sheep lice.

Good roads are absolutely essen
tial to the development of good
schools in the rural districts, and
both together are necessary to the
progress of civilization in this coun-
try. Good roads are scarce, partly
because the need of them is not suf-
ficiently recognized and partly be-
cause so few know how to make
them even when they try. Good
schools are scarce for precisely the
same reasons. When a country
schoolhouse looks like an abandoned

road in the neighborhood leading up
to 1T, that district may always be
considered an excellent district in

Fowls are omnivorous eaters; that
is, they will eat nearly anything,
and it has been demonstrated that
food eaten by laying hens impart it's
flavor to the eggs. A gentleman no.
ticed his hens eating freely of onion
tops that had been thrown into the
poultry yard. For several days the
eggs of those hens had such strong
onion flavor as to be unfit for use.
Such food has been found to impart
its flavor In the flesh also. It is i'm
portant, therefore, that fowls haye
access to none but clean, good food.

VALDEZ, ALASKA. THURSDAY. JULY z. 1904.
JOhnS0n'S Latest Outrage
Attempts to Rape a Weak, Ofa Woman. Neighbors Frustrate
 Him. Held to Answer.

Last Thursday Chas. Johnson, six years a resident of Valdez, was arrested for attempted rape on the person of Mrs. Bluemer, a woman of advanced years and mother of a grown up family. The woman was in her home at the time of assault and effectaully screamed for help. Johnson in order to suppress her cries clapped his hand over her face, which was greatly difgured in the struggle. Those who heard her cries hurried to the house, this alarmed Johnson, and he ran off. Within the house the woman was found in deplorable condition and fit subject for medical aid. She has since partially recovered though very nervous,and still bears the marks on her face.
 The marshal was soon on the track of Johnson and found him at his home he resisted arrest but was forced into submission and landed in the jug. Friday the prisoner was before commissioner Lyons for preliminary hearing, not having council the case was set for Saturday, when his counsel waived examination. Witnesses for the prosecution were heard and John- son was held in the sum of $5.OOo to appear before the next grand jury.
 Johnson is an old offender in various forms, having been up be- fore the court o,a several occasions, and about five years ago, when there was no established law in Valdez, he was yanked up before q miners meeting and would have been severely dealt with for wife beating were it not for the plead ings of his wife and his own sol emn promise never to strike his wife again, promise that he has repeatedly violated.

Temporarily Crazed.
Josph K1emer, whom Lilly Kanitz Married, Reaches Seattle
 Out of His Mind.

On the arrival of the Excelsior in Seattle on her last trip Joseph Klemer, employed as butcher on the steamer, was released to the authorities as raving maniac.
 When the boat left Valdez he was apparently of sound mind, but when about four days of Seattle he was taken with a fancy that he re- cognized his wife's face mirrored in the ocean. Being superstitious he took this as bad omen, and began to imagine his wife in peril. It so worked upon his mind that it was found necessary to put him in irons.
 The doctors in attendance at the jail, after study of the Case, sent for his wife, and her presence im- mediately ealmed him to such an extent that she was permitted to take him home. At last accounts he was becoming quite rational
 Joseph Klemer is known to many in Valdez, as he has been connected with the Excelsior for several years coming to this port. About a year ago he married a girl known as Lilly Kanitz, who previously lived in Valdez. She was born in Eng land, and in infancy she was taken in charge by Otto Kanitz and wife, and passed generally as their child. She came to Valdez with the Kan itz family, and remained until the death of Mrs. Kanitz, about two years ago. Then some un- pleasantness arose between her and her adopted father, when she went to Seattle, and there married Klemer.
 While here on his last trip Klem- CT had row with kanitz over his wife's affairs, brooding over which no doubt unsettled his mind.

Ore From Seward Sent Out. Ex- amining and Stalking Being
 Done on Mineral Creek.

What may prove to be a very rich ledge of free milling gold quartz has recently been discover ed near Seward, at a point on the mountain near tide water.
 About one ton of the ore was taken out on the Santa Clara for analysis. Those who have been on the property claim it to be exceed ly rich. The width of the ledge is not yesknown. It is stated that the gold is easily discernible to the naked eye and is all through the ledge matter.
 A rumor, which we have been unable to verify, is being circulated about the city to the effect that a ledge of rich gold quurtz has been located on Mineral creek, a few miles north of town. Several piec- es of rich float were found on this creek as early as '99, since which, date various prospectors have searched for the ledge, but without success until the present rumored ctrike.
 It is said that tho locator has ex- hibited samples of the ledge to a few friends, who have gone out to- day to make further locations.
 Nothing definite as to the extent oi the find is obtainable.

ranana Win Yield Half Million

Tanana Win Yield Half Million
 The Monarch, the first steamer of the season from Tanana, arrived at Dawson June 9th. She brought the first Tanana gold for the year. Only one man left the camp. All others were too busy mining to leave. Archie Chisholm, of Seat tie, the only arrival. reports that the camp will not lose any men who wintered there. He estimates that the years output by the close of navigation will reach $5OO,OOO or more, with only two large boil CTS in the camp. Many more are there now, taken in by the first boats this year.
 Chisholm says the Tanana has thirty miles of traced pay streak and that the camp is sure to be permanent. He is going to Seattle for mining machinery. He states that the best creeks in the district are the Fairbanks, Cleary, Gold stream and Esther. The latter is near the town. Cinema, where the late strike was made, is several miles long, shallow and rich pro- ducer. Cinema and Fairbanks both have newspapers, Ike supplies taken to the camp by the first Daw- son beats sold rapidly. Eggs are $50 . case, flour $lO a sack.

The Great BuncO Game
Educated Fish, Liens and Wolves Not Exhibited. Glacial Bear
 Non Est. Promises.

The Great Hot Air Show as ex- hibited on July 4th, was :beyond all doubt the worst bunco game of the season, owing in a measure to the lack of attractions. Prol. GoodelIe was conspicuous by his absence, but his attractions were very con spicuous by their presence, and were about the most successful features of the show except the re- ceipts, which were quite satisfac- tory, thank you.
 The management intended to get several educated Fish that are in town but were unsuccessful. The happy families Lyons and Wulf could not be exhibited, and the man who was on the glacier to catch bear came back bare hand- ed. Taken as a whole the whole affair should have put the man. agement in a hole, but next year it will be different, all you will have to do IS to put your money in an envelope and send it to the pub ished address; it will thus save the necessity of going to the show.

.A[Q|AL TRAnWA1 NOW ASSURED TO BE BUILT
 RUNNING 0VlT} T}uNlnlitof the p6S
A Valdez Company Now Have Surveyors In the Field.
 Early Completion.

To take men, horses. machinery and supplies of all kinds up and over the summit of Thompson pass IS now the aim of few enterpris- ing men of Valdez, who have joined |sorces to accomplish that purpose. This pass which rises to an alti- tude of 2,500 feet is the only ob- stacle in the way of a very easy "trip to the Copper river valley, and in fact to the whole interior of
 1aska.
 sThe trail. as established by the military department begins to rise at . distance of about three miles from the summit, and is switch backed to such an extent as to make it an upward travel of about four miles. In order to overcome this tedious and laborious trip, the promoters, who are now merged into the Valdez Summit Tramway Co.,, with Frank J. Kinghorn. pres- ident; Edmund Smith, secretary :, and Fred M. Brown. treasurer, pro- pose to build aa aerial tramway, run by steam power.
 The mountain on which the pass is located rises abruptly from the Lowe River Valley. From the base of the mountain cable towers will be erected up and over the di- vide and down on the other side to a suitable terminal. Stations will be erected at each end for the ac- commodation of men and animals, with storehouses for outfits.
 Some preliminary work has al- ready been done on the ground, and a survey party in charge of Mir. Kinghorn lett here this morn- ing to secure the necessary data to be placed in the hands of an engi- .neer, who will make up the work ing plans.
 After securing the necessary de- tails Mr. Kinghern will leave at an early date to purchase cable and other materials and work Of construction will commence at once, and the tramway completed in time for the travel of the coming season.
 This is the most important step that has yet been taken toward op- ening up the country to travellers and prospectors.
 To maintain stage or sled route from Valdez to the foot of the di- vide is an easy matter, and stage between Valdez and Fairbanks in connection with the tramway, is now being formulated.
