SHOWS A SMALL LOSS.
Population in Townships Is "A Less
Than Last Lear.

County Clerk Newman this morning
completed the tabulating of the census
returns of Shawnee county as made by
the assessors. The reports give the to-
tai population of the county as 81 OBS
which is "a less than last year and the
population of the city of Topeka as 80
149, an increase of 100 over last year.
The decrease in the county may be
from the fact that the city took in some
country property which was in Topeka
township last year but the population
statistics of the assessors are far from
accurate as they are not taken with any
great degree of care. The population
figures for 1904 and 1908 are as follows:

The lower Yalu is likely to be very
important in the war. A photograph
of it in time of peace would probably
show a number of log rafts floating
down the wide stream; for along its
banks are the forests whose products
are carried southwark by the Yalu
current to the sea-going junks which
take them to market. ;:
Near its mouth the Yalu broadens
into a lake-like eXpanse, about twenty
five miles in length and from four to
five miles wide. The heavy tides raise
and lower it's level by several feet at
every flow and ebb. Steamers have
seldom ruff1ed these waters above An
t,ing, but sea-going junks ply up AMI
down for thirty miles. beyond Which
point the river is navigable by smaller
craft for about 100 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 ofthe riy-
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
fame. Several years ago the King of
Korea conceded the part of the forests
living along the river to the Russians;
and their Manchurian woodsmen have
felled a large quantity Of the finest
trees and foated the logs down to the
tunks 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

them all the sensations Of speeding

Though the boat is to be drawn by a
cable on a railway laid at the bottom
of lake or pond, a propeller revolving
at a high rate of speed and an enor-
