London, Dec. Ia. The Shanghai
correspondent Of the London Post
claims to have information to the ef.
ect that Japanese squadron will soon
start in search of the Russian Baltic
fleet. with intention Of giving battle at
a point far removed from Port Arthur.
This move, the correspondent infor-
mant states, has been made possible by
recent addions to the japanese fleet,
which increases it to an exceptional
grade of efficiency. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail says:

FRIENDS YET BITTER FOES.

to observe the military maneuvers. The
two soldiers met first officially, and
there soon sprang up between them
a feeling Of warm personal friendship
and regard. They parted In Paris and
did not meet again until Kuropatkin
came to Japan last year. The lapse
of years had brought increased rank

their reunion was an interesting one.
Events were then moving rapidly
toward war. but the rupture had not

A RICH FARM Err.
Largest Check for q Years Wheat
Crop.

Largest Check for Years Wheat
Crop.
What is believed to be the largest
check ever issued to a farmer for a
single crop Of grain in eastern Wash
ington has been given Lillis F. Smith
of Endicott, WASH. for his crop OF
1904. The check is for $45, ,364.30. This
represents the value of nearly $1,000
bushels of wheat grown on Mr.. Smiths
land this year. The larger portion OF
this was grown by Mr.. Smith on $500
acres, the remainder being his share
Of the crop grown by his son, Leslie
on Mr.. Smiths land, which the son
had rented. Lillis Smith and son had
a total of 340O acres in wheat this
year.
I'VE have crowned Lillis F. Smith
the wheat king of the Palouse coun
try, with a golden crown worth more
than $45.OO0," said Seymour Manning
the agent who bought the crop. Con

has been called the wheat king OF
the Palause for several years, but this
year clamis were made that he had
lost the title because of the immense
crops of other farmers. Henry Hick.
man Of Almota, received check for
$25,931.73 for his 1904 crop. but Mr.
Smiths check is the largest ever is
sued to a farmer for single crop in
this county"
Hundreds OF checks for from $4,000
to $4,000 have been issued to farmers
this year, but these attract no atten-
ton.
Mr.. Smiths success as farmer is a
shining example of what can be done
in this country by pluck. perseverance,
and hard work. Beginning with a
homestead Of 100 acres, taken near
Endicott in 1888, Mr.. Smith has ac-
quired land and wealth until he now
owns 1900 acres OF land, all of which
Is in cultivation, in this county; 500
acres in California. in addition to
many other investments. His Whit
man county land is estimated to be
worth $35 per acre, total of $l7l, 500.
In addition to his wheat crop. he
sold $3.50 worth of horses this year,
making a total gross income Of more
than $4,000. His fortune is estimated
at $250,O06.
Practically all of this has been made
in seven years. He, like all farmers
and others in this country. suffered
severely from the panic of 1893 to
1896, and was deeply involved in debt

SHE SEWS UP
TROUSERS THAT
DOCCIE TORE

N ]. Hibbard, rs years of age, Nestor
Of New York letter-carriers, who was
appointed carrier in May, 1867, after
his return from the Civil War, went on
Tuesday to the West End Hotel, in Fort
Washington Park, to deliver a letter
to Mrs. Vincent Waters, says the New
York World. AS the veteran carrier
was mounting the stairs to the hotel
Mrs. Waters fox terrier sprang at him
and imbedded its teeth in the right leg
of his trousers above the knee.
Hubbard jumped aside as the dog
went for him again, but the animal
dug it's teeth into his trousers a sec
ond time, tearing them much and in
flicting a slight flesh wound The car
rier was angry and the mistress of the
dog mortified.
Mrs. Waters apologized to Hubbard
and begged for permission to sew the
trousers. Hubbard blushed. He wouldn't
think of such a thing! Mrs. Waters is
a very attractive-looking woman She
insisted that he allow her to sew the
torn uniform, and Hubbard, still blush
ing, yielded. He asked whether he
should retire and send the trousers by
a bellboy, but Mrs. Waters said that
formality was not necessary; she would
sew I'D the tear while the trousers
were still on him. So Hubbard knelt
down and Mrs. Waters sewed up the
trousers neatly. When the job was
completed Hubbard thanked her and
forgave the dog.

made a mistake by listening to the
counsels of his good wife and business
partner, and the Greenland was built
especially for the Worlds Fair service.
In 1902. at Gallipolis, o., she had
been granted new license for five
years as master and pilot, and was de-
termined to- help her husband in every
way with the novel plan of reviving
the old-fashioned river service and
fighting the railroads. Already she
has seen his business grow till he had
come ilto possession of the Greenwood,
the Evergreen, the Cricket and the
Greenland. Now for success with the
latest addition to the Greene line fleet!
The Greenland was launched at Ma
rietta, O., August 5, 1908, and ON May
20 started from Pittsburg on its first
trip to the Worlds Fair, the first such
voyage since 1884. The distance is a
total of 1900 miles round trip, and the
travelling time is five and one-half days
