THE SOUTH GROWING RICH.

The Controller Of the Currency re-
Gently made public a statement show
ing the volume of individual deposits
in national. state. savings and trust
banks in each state and territory.
This statement showed the South 20
be rapidly accommodating wealth. Rel
atively speaking it's wealth is in
Creasing at a more rapid rate than
that of any other section of the cOun-
try, though, of course, it will be some
time before the people Of the South
viii be anywhere nearly as wealthy as
those of the North. But with contin-
ued prosperity and the development Of
the section by immigration it will not
be great many years before the South
will very nearly if not quite approach
the East in wealth. The Controllers
statistics show that from 1892 to and
including 1903 the increase in bank
deposits in the South amounted to
1878 per cent. In the rest of the cOun-
trv the increase during the same period
was fraction more than 100 per cent.
The report covers, among others, the
following Southern states:
Alabama-1S92, $7661.424; 1903 s19,-
1863, 4SO; increase, $12, 302,0j6, or 100 per
cent.
Arkansas-1S92, $4.563,594; 1903, $14.-
45S,572; increase, $9,S94,978, or nearly
2l1 per cent.

$4,000; increase, $50, 299, 1913. or 102 per
cent.
1t will be noted from the foregoing
that Georgia is credited with a gain
of 1870 per cent, and Florida with a
gain of 1888 per cent. This is indeed
very gratifying, indicating that the
people of these states, with others, are
becoming not only more prosperous,
but more thrifty.

The war between Japan and Russia
began on Feb. last. The sixth month
of the struggle is now drawing to a
close. From the very beginning the war
has been an almost uninterrupted Sc
ries of japanese successes. The Rus
slams have been pushed back steadily,
until it now seems likely that they will
have to give up even Mukden and re-
tire still further north, possibly to
Hardin, which is at the junction of the
Manchurian and Vladivostok railroads.
The Russian forces are fearfully handi-
capped. in the matter Of transporta-
ton and there seems to be little hope
of the situation being soon relieved. We
referred the other day TO the report
of the traffic manager Of the Trans
Siberian Railroad, in which he said
that the road was already carrying all
of the munitions and men that II pos
siby could, and that its capacity was
just sneqgh C repair the waste Of the
my at present in the field. The Jap
anese have clearly demonstrated their
ability to master Gen. Kuropatkin's
present army, and if the railroad can
not bring him men enough to make IL
considerably larger and stronger, his
position is one of peril However, the
Baltic fleet may be able to relieve the
situation. Should It be able to form
junction with the vladivostok fleet.
Russia might succeed in gaining mas
terry Of the sea, cut off the Japanese
transport system, and possibly attack
Japan at her own ports. That would
entirely change the aspect Of affairs.
hussia's chief hope, therefore. appears
TO be conferred in the Baltic fleet. and
That feet lie a great menace to Japan.

Might Bring the baby with Him.

President Schurman of Cornell OBJ
jects heartily to the young man of
culture who would live a bachelors life
of aesthetic and selfish enjoyment. In
discussing the matter the other day he
said with a smile:
Il heard yesterday of a poor young
clerk whose life, difficult and lowly as
it is, still seems to me to be nobler and
more dignified than that of the epicu-
rean bachelor.
He married early, this clerk; he has
several children; he is obliged to work
hard.
The other morning, as he sat at his
high desk with a big sheet of figures
before him, he fell asleep. His en-
ployer, hearing his shores, awakened
him.
Why, Brown said the employer
sternly, what is the matter with you,
sleeping at your desk in broad day
light?
II beg your pardon, sir said the
clerk The baby at home kept me
awake all last night, and I'm done out
We'll, Brown said the employer,
you may bring the child to the office
with you tomorrow, if you think it will
keep you awake during the day as

The paving of Abercorn street to Es-
till avenue has diverted much of the
travel from Bull street, and Abercorn
street may now be said to be the fav-
Orite thoroughfare for automobiles md
other pleasures vehicles. At Fortieth
street, east, however, the paved street
crosses the tracks of the Atlantic
Coast Line at a down grade on either
side. The crossing is dangerous be-
cause of that fact and because of the
absence of gates or fagman to warn
those about 10 cross of the approach
of locomotives or trains. owing to
the slope of the street as It approaches
the right-of-way of the railroad it
would be impossible for anyone, no
matter how expert a chauffeur or
handler of horses he might be, to stop
his vehicle and avoid an accident,
should he not see an approaching en-
CINE or train before nearing the cross
ing.
When this street was improved six
months ago it was the understanding
that a gate would be set up at For
tieth street. but the danger spot is
still unguarded. Some day, if the mat
ter is not attended to, there will be
a fearful accident at this crossing,
which will be "nobody's fault" 1t
seems that the city authorities should
see to it that a gate or a fagman be
placed at this point for the protection
of the limbs and lives of citizens.

stead of the red breast it has a broad
dash of white, while it's wings and

The oil output in the Kern River
fields of California has so overlapsed
the consumption that it has been
found necessary to erect immense res
ervoirs to hold the product in reserve.
At first the companies only erected
the regulation tubular tanks: but this
idea was soon given UP when they
began to realize the ec.-al producing
capacity of the fields. They then con-
structed earthen storage reservoirs
which really is little more than a. hole
in the ground. The size Of these reser-
voirs has increased enormously as
the prodigious product of the wells
has developed. One reservoir con-
structed by the Standard oil Companv
has a capacity Of 100000 barrels. These
reservoirs are circular I'm form and
their diameters vary from 400 10 200
feet and their depth from IA to is feet

expensive, ana the egrth composing the
beds now is merely tramped well be-

voirs, as soon as excavated and tamp-
ed. are rooted over with inch boards
nailed upon framework. and the
boards are covered with tar paper. in

NEW HEADQUARTERS
Gen. Kuropatkin Prefers Liao-
Yang to Mukden.
WILL LIVE ON A TRAIN
HAS ADVANTAGE OF BEING
NEARER CHINESE FRONTIER.
Commands Two Roads and Near Tune en-
and Yalu Rivers-Commander is
Hurrying to the Field.
WILL LIVE ON A TRAIN

ST. PETERSBURG March II. 4:5O pm
The first headquarters of the Manchurian
army after General Kuropatkins arrival
will be at Liao-Yang. the general having
selected that point instead of Mukden
whence to direct the operations.
Liao-Yang is ten miles west of the rail-
road being connected with the main road
by a special line, which will be completed
by the time General Kuropatkin arrives,
and has many advantages over Mukden,
being a point whence both the telegraph
line and the Peking road go to the Yalu
river.
Another road not marked on the maps,
leads almost due east to an extinct vol
cano, PaikTou-San, or Long White Noun
tain, whose crater is a sacred lake.
The road was built by the Chinese, whose
emperors formerly went there to shoot
tigers with which the region is infested.
Two rivers, the Tumen and the Yalu, rise
near the mountain.
Liao-Yang consequently commands both
the roads over which troops will be sent,
according to necessities.
Liao-Yang also has the advantage of be-
ing nearer to the frontier of China in the
event of punitive measures being required
against the Chinese. 1t is also close to the
Liao-Tung peninsula. New-Chwang and the
mouth of the Liao-Ho.
purpose of working out an offensive mill
tary problem, they will be prepared to
move heavy forces in any direction to meet
the Japanese, whose command of the sea
gives them great freedom in selecting their
points of attack.
General Kuropatkin will live on a train.
with his staff. and be prepared to move i'm
mediately wherever his presence is re-
quired. If the Japanese land in force on
the coast of northern Korea, General Kuro-
patkin will move his headquarters further
north along the railroad.
If there is fighting along the Yalu. which
now seems probable he will go forward to
Feng-Huan-Cheng.
Great precautions are being taken to
guard against surprises. The Japanese have
always shown preference for night at
tacks. and most rigorous orders have been
issued to keep up continuous advance of
scouting parties. and to have heavy pickets
out at night.
General Kuropatkin is now near Omsk.
Siberia. He Is making very fast time. aver
aging over $50 miles per day. everything
being sidetracked to get him to Mukden on
March 26, the only stops. except to change
engines, being occasionally to inspect pass
ing troop trains.
