EGYPT AND PALESTINE
Elder Miller, Leading Dunkard, Gives
 Some Comparisons

Elder l.. Miller, of Elgin, Ill.,, one of the leading men in the Dunkark denom- nation, who was in the valley this week with committee of Dunkards, making study of the situation, was most favor ably impressed with what he saw. He has for years travelled on such missions, and has not only been in every part of the United States, but has visited many foreign countries.
 On his return from sixty-mile drive Wednesday, he compared Imperial val ley with other sections he had visited, particularly the Sunnyside irrigation system in Washington, where he had seen the country in four years come from barren waste to great productive ness. After speaking of other sections where he had seen rapid response to ir- rigation, he unhesitatingly declared that the prospects for the future of this val ley were brighter than of any other new land he had ever visited, and to this his associates gave hearty assent.
 Wednesday evening he spoke at the Christian Church on the subject: "Pal- estine and Egypt" He told of confrma- tion of Bible history and description he had seen in the holy land, and his brief description of irrigation in Egypt was very interesting. He said he looked to see Imperial valley become the Imper- ial Empire of the Golden State. He said he had never seen finer grain fields, even in Egypt, than some he had seen here, and the people of the valley had boundless opportunities.
 From what could be learned, it is probable that large Dunkard colony will be formed here, and the land de- partment of the Union Pacific railroad will make special efforts along this line.

Russians on the Yalu River.

ture The Russians have moved thou
sands Of troops across the Manchurian
plain TO the west bank of the river,
have taken them across in junks and
flatboats, and marched them south
ward on Korean soil to thwart, If they
can, a Japanese invasion of ManChuria.
The lower Yalu is likely to be very
important in the war. A photograph
of il in time Of peace would probably
show a number Of log RATS floating
down the wide stream; for along its
banks are the forests whose products
are carried southwark by the Nalu
current TO the sea-going junks which
take them to market.
Near its mouth the Yalu broadens
into lake-like eXpanse, about twenty
five miles in length and from -four to
five miles wide. The heavy tides raise
and lower its level by several feet at
every flow and ebb. Steamers have
seldom rufiled these waters above An
tung, hut sea-gong junks ply up and
down for thirty miles, beyond which
point the river Is navigable by smaller
craft for about 1870 miles.
There are no cart roads crossing the
river where it narrows toward the
north, but paths here and there come
down TO the banks. Most of the rlv-
crime territory is little developed, be-
cause it is the domain of almost i'm
penetrable forests through which the
sunlight scarcely reaches the waters
of the river.
These Korean forests helped to fan
the quarrel between the japanese and
the Russians, which finally burst into
flame. Several years ago the King of
Korea conceded the part of the forests
lying along the river to the Russians;
and their Manchurian woodsmen have
feled a large quantity of the finest
trees and floated the logs down TO the
junks that have carried them to the
sawmills of Southern Manchuria. The
timber is mostly pine, and nearly as
good as our white pine, There is also
an abundance of walnut, beech, oak,
maple and other varieties, making the
wood trade of the Yalu River very
important in Eastern Asia. This for
est concession helped to assure the GER
tainty Of war, but the wooded region
