a place In the vicinity OF Pawtucket.

In many coun ties between the S1iSsis-

this fertilizer for top dressing grass
land is very common throughout the
principal portion of the United States
wherever it is used in considerable
quantities.
Barn manure is more generally ap-
piled to corn than to any other crop
although a liberal application OF it Is
made to tobacco. potatoes and veSeta-

THE NAVY NEEDS YOUNG MEN.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-Admiral
Converse. chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, has made public his annual re-
port. The necessity for giving COM
mand to younger men. an increase of
so per cent in the number of naval
officers, the creation of a general staff
for the navy and the construction OF
more cruisers are the features of most
Importance.
The war now in progress between
Russia and Japan furnishes illustra-
lions for Admiral Converse's observa-
lions relative to a general staff and the
reduction of the age limit for those
holding the rank of captain. He COM
pares the average of officers serving
in the Japanese navy with those hold
ing similar rank in the American navy
and says other maritime powers are
confronted with a solution of the
problem Of having officers reach higher
rank at an earlier age.

Shoshone- Nez Perez county, living in
the district that voted for annexation
to Nez Perez. County Auditor James
Lydon of Nez Perez county has re-
ceived no official announcement that
this district is a part of Nez Perez
county, and refuses to file papers of
record for the district. In the mean
time, word has been sent out from
Wallace that the citizens must from
now on file their deeds and lawsuits
here.
Il have no official knowledge that
this district has ever been annexed to
Nez Perez county, said Mr.. Lydon. Il
expect notification from the secretary
of state or from the governor, and UNI
til l get some such announcement
will not accept papers of record for
the district have thus far only been
asked to file one deed, but it was re-
fused
This complication is a serious one,
as it makes the citizens of that terri
tory practically outcasts. They have
no court higher than the justice court,
have no notaries and can not file
mortgages or deeds, but they can get
married, as a marriage license is good
