ST LOUIS IS VISITED
BY DAMAGING WIND
Storm Of Last Night Was. Fatal to
Several Persons and Caused
Damage Amounting to
$35o,000.

| st. Louis, Mo-, August 20.-A more
thorough estimate of the damage done
l'by the tornado which descended over
the small area north of st. Louis last
evening, was made today. In addi-
ton to the loss of life and the injury
to more than $50 persons, damage
wrought by the storm is now estimat-
ed at $15O,O00, half of that amount
done to the manufacturing plants,
the remainder being divided between
owners of residence property, more
than 100 houses being more or less
damaged. On the east side, in the H.
linois towns of Venice and Granite
City, the damage was greater than
was first reported. Two lives were
lost in that vicinity, and many property
owners suffered from $4,000 down to
$50 damages. After more than twelve
hours steady work by large gangs of
men employed by the telephone and
electric light companies, the streets
where the wind storm was felt most
severely are still Uttered with de-
bris from the wrecked buildings and
hundreds of feet of telegraph and tele-
phone wires.

it,possesses it four estufas, instead Of the
two usual in the pueblo towns of the
Rio Grande Valley. One of these is
very near the Cuarteles, two are side
by side in the upper plaza of the vii
lage, and the fourth is in the north
westerly outskirts. While they fol-
low the ordinary rule of being circular,
and more or less underground, yet
they vary from the usual type by being
entirely beneath the, surface, and by
having two, openings, a. square one
furnished. witha ladder for entrance
and exit, and 2 circular one, which
serves asa chimney In relieving the
estufa from smoke.
The ceilings are formed Of enormous
vegas, made from the largest pines, in
some cases nearly two feet in diam
eter; this special strength being nec-
essary from the fact just referred 10,
that the estufas are entirely under
ground, the earth over them being on a
level with the remainder of the sur
face and constantly passed over by the
people. They are comparatively small,
not over twenty feet in diameter, and
possess no ornamentation of any kind.
Roofs are Different.
The roofs and ceiling in the Guar
teles and other ancient buildings are
somewhat different from the ordinary
pueblo type, as the main vegas are
very far apart, and are surmounted
by large number of small vegas,
which extend from wall to wall, and on
which the ceiling or roof OF willow
and earth is placed. All of the ve..
gas in the old buildings, both large
and small, show. very distinctly that
they were cut by stone implements,
and before any metal tools were
dreamed Of by the people
Near the Cuarteles and forming q
conspicuous of the landscape; is a
"Torreon" or tower perfectly circular
in form and about fifteen feet in diam,
eter. At is without any window or loops
hole, and the interior can only be
reached by heavy ladder which ex-
tends to the top. v

Chiefly because of the elevation of the

which readily cross the Rocky noun

and passes, the southwestern portion
of the Canadian provinces is regarded as

though this has been prevailing idea
in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district
within the past two or three years to
prove that splendid crops of grain can

been the feeding ground for the herds of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged

A general and killing absorption In
the business Of life was once the &C
cepted theory Of American activity. It
Is true that there Is still tremendo dous
stress shown by Americans in the spiar-
suit not only of their business vocations
but Of their social avocations. Yet the
business mans summer vacation Is get
ting to be more and more an accented
institution, says an editorial In Cen
tury. He manages to get longer periods
Of complete rest and recreation, and he
contrives, moreover, to seize upon any
number Of half olidays and over Sun
day outings, especially in the warmer
months. When he can control his time
he gives greater portions OF it than ever
before to horseback exercise and to golf
and kindred sports. The business mans
family, instead Of being satisfied, as of
old, with few weeks in crowded hotel
by the sea or in the mountains, spend
the whole summer in the country, as
boarders in hotel or farmhouse, or as
dwellers in q country place of theirown,
modest or sumptuous, in accordance
with their means and taste. .+.= !. :.
The city mans modefp discovery Of
the country and his Increasing use of
it in the summer months has been q
subject of comment now these many
years. There has been discussion Of its
effect upon the city people themselves,
and upon the country people into whose
communities they enter; Of it's effect
upon manners and morals; of its eco
nomic bearings and its relation to the
abandoned farm problem. and of the in
f1uence upon the nation of the greater

With all this search for recreation

with all this search for the opportunity

AS If to cope with the offerings OF ma
ture, the railway companies are ready
with their railways to haul the grain az
soon as it is relieved from the straw in
the fields by the threshers. Throughout
this entire belt there is an enormous
length of railway mileage, branches are
radiating in every direction from the
trunks until they scarcely leave grain
field more than six or seven miles from
road, and they are all required, for in
the fall and early winter the sight Of the
trains passing to and from the elevators
at the railway depots makes the entire
country look like one hive of industry.

government land for homesteading in

OF course an exceptional expenditure,
as when it is once done it is dons
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre. After the breaking, plow-
ing and seeding, harvesting, threshing
and marketing, all expenses combined
amount to about $5.25 per acre; that
is, If a man has everything done 1t
will cost him $5.25 per acre., If hi
does the work himself he is earning
wages while producing at that fig
ure. Now as the average yield is 20
bushels, and the average price 60 cent?
-$12 per acre-the difference between
the result and cost, $6.75, is the profit
of grain growing year in and year
out meth great wheat belt of tbs
Canadian prairie country. If a man
has half section of land and puts
half of it, 100 acres, under wheat
which is very common occurrence,
he makes $1,0SO on wheat alone and
should make if he is a capable farm
er enough out Of ether crops, sale of
cattle, dairy and other products to
keep himself and family the year
round besides.
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt, between it and what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals. that can profitably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock.
It must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, but the topography
and climatic influences differ, as we'll
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but It is found more
profitable to combine all the features
of the industry. Oh account of tho
land being more broken than in the
southern district, though the soil is
equally fertile, there are not the same
opportunities for extensive operations;
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec.
tion, especially in the winter season.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairyinE.
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose-
cuted. It is certainly then that ii
the agricultural possibilities Of this
portion Of the prairie country be esti-
mated by its adaptaDility to dairy
farming even the most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed II
any country in the: world. AS inti-
mated above. even dairying may be
successfully carried on in any corner
Of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend It as the
ideal spot for this branch Of the bust
ness. ~ - 80 }ss5 81 3sssi

HOME INDUSTRIES.
Arts and Crafts Department of Federation
of Women's Clubs.

The South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs at its recent meeting
in Newberry, made an Arts and
Crafts Department, for the purpose
of stimulating interest in the Home
Industries, among the women of the
state.
This work will consist OF handy-work
of any description, made by the hands
of South Carolina women; laces.
embroidery, basketry, woodcarving,
designs in wallpaper, woven rugs,
carpets, quilts, rebinding books, etc. a
Every effort will be made to create a
demand for this work, and orders will
be solicited. All women in the state
are urged to send samples of their
HANDY work.
It is especially desired through this
movment, to reach the women of the
rural districts, showing the possibili-
ties open to them, )both as wage-earn-
ers and home teachers along these
lines, to revive, if possible, the old
fashioned art of weaving, which even
in its simplest form is susceptible OF
excellent results.
n Woven rag rugs, fer example, when.
wrought into artistic designs and
harmonious colors, are in great de-
mand and bring high prices.
It is the hope and intention of this
department to have large and fine ex-
hibit in the Woman's Building, at the
coming state fair, therefore we wish
to urge all parties who anticipate
sending work, to communicate with
us at once in order to have time to
work up good exhibit

Telegraph and Railroad Right OF
Way.

The Supreme Court of Georgia held,
i'm the recent case OF The Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company vs..
Postal Telegraph-Cabl Company,
chat telegraph company acquires AN
easement in the right of way OF a
railroad company condemned for the
purpose of constructing and operating a
telegraph line thereon; that the ease
ment acquired embraces the land ac-
tually occupied by the poles and Tx
lures for guy wires, and the right to
stretch the wires upon the poles and
to enter the right of way to construct
and repair the telegraph line; that
the only exclusive right of occupancy
the telegraph company acquires by
condemnation proceedings is the occu-
pancy of the land occupied by the
poles for telegraph purposes; that
the measure of damages III such cases
is the value of the land actually taken,
and the extent to which the use of the
right of way by the rairoad company
is diminished by it's use by the tele-
graph company; that the right Of way
of a railroad company has 10 gener-
al market value for other uses than to
which it is applied: that the appro-
priation to public use amounts to a
withdrawal of the right of way from
any use except that which is necessary
or auxiliary to the operations of the
railroad; that peculiar advantages
and benefits accruing to telegraph
company from its use of the railroads S
rihgt Of way cannot be considered i'll
the assessment of damages. and that
remote or speculative damages cannot
be covered. The court held that
the bare suggestion that at some vague
time in the future the railroad COM
papy may lay additionl tracks or
build structures for railroad purposes
is 100 remote to authorize the admis-
sion of evidence of the damages that
might result from such possible COIL
tingencies.

Is the "YelIow Peril Real ?

Why is it that England and America
do not see the Yellow Peril?' Because
they know that the invasion of Europe
aud America will never come. Be-
cause England and America have so
shaped their courses in their Asiatic
possessions that the natives. cannot
and will not be driven to think of
revolt, much less invasion. The liber-
ty, freedom, fair play, and privileges
granted by England and America to
their colonies insure contentment and
stability among the natives. Any cne
who compares the condition Of the
Straits Settlements and AMMAN will be
Immediately convinced of their respec-
tive conditions and corresponding
prosperity. The troubles in German
Africa are the outcome of cruelty; the
6ourishing condition of the Sandwich
Islands is the fruit of impartiality.
The "Yellow Peril'' of the Mongols
under Genghis Kahn is thing of the
past,-dead six centuries ago. Asia
then suffered far more than Europe,
only the eastern border of which was
visited by the Tartars. Nearly every
nation on the Asiatic mainland was
conquered, and the Chinese suffered
most terribly from their invasion.
The "Yellow Perip' will never
come again. If it comes at all, it
will be at the time when European
civilization has retrograded and
Europeans return to a condition of
savagery far below that of their ances-
tors before the days of Caesar. The
yellow Peril" is only possible when
the Asiatics are superior to the Euro
peans in culture, science, art, and
general civilization, just as the Euro
peans, superior to the Asiatics in
these respects, now dominate Asia
1t will come when Europe and Amer
lea, weakened by incessant wars, are
so helpless that not only the Asiatics,
but even the Eskimos and Laplande:s,
will be able to dictate terms. When
the Asiatics are able to overrun Eu-
rope and America it will not be the
day of "Yellow PERIL" but the day
of a golden era. If that day ever
comes, it will mean that the Asiatics
are so superior that they deserve
the conquest of the orld.-Chang
Vow Tong, in the Review CT Reviews
