CHNA's UNTOLD WEALTH.
Dark Empire Possesses Resources
Little Comprehended,

"China is the richest country upon
earth. not excepting our own" de-
clared Prof. j. c. Monaghan, of the
department of commerce and labor in
a recent lecture. .se
"In natural resources China eXcels
all other countries. In the important
matter of coal supply for example,
while all Europe has 1900 square
miles of coal lands and America 25,-
600, China has 225,000.
"Chiua has population exceeding
in numbers Great Britain. France,
Germany and the United States, but
this population exists by merely
scratching the soil. The resources
of the country have never even been
estimated. The Chinese interior is
more mysterious than the hinterland
of Africa"
1t is surmised, however, that Rus
sia has had a hint of the richness of
China, and of the comparative ease
of taking possession by the usual
Russian methods. Unfortunately for
Russian aims, the war with Japan has
aroused the interested cupidity of all
Europe, and no matter how the war
goes, Russia's chance to absorb China
unobserved, is gone.

Firing UP" A LOCOMOTIVE.
Process by Which Engines Are Made
Ready for the Road.

The average citizen manages to set
the house in an uproar every time he
has to make a fire in the heater, but
his job is trifle in comparison with
what a railroad fireman faces when
II new fire has to be built in locomo-
tive.
AS a starter, about 200 pounds of
wool are necessary to fire up the or
dinary engine. The wood used is old
railroad ties cut into convenient
blocks. When the firebox has been
lined with wood it is drenched With oil
and the match applied.
AS soon as the fire gains headway
forced draught is applied, the opera
ton necessarily being performed in
the round house, where all apparatus
for quickly producing high tempera-
ture is at hand. When a good bed
of blazing wood has been produced,
the fireman gets busy with his shovel,
placing the coal in even layers over
the flames.
This part of the work is hard on
the back, and the aggrieved individ-
ual whose woes are evident to the
whole block when he labors with the
heater would go down and out in the
first minute at it. Under the forced
draught it is only a few minutes be-
fore the coal has been reduced to q
sheet of embers at white heat and by
this time there is enough steam pres.
sure generated to permit of the loco
motive being moved under its owr
power.

BEWARE THE BOOM
LOTS AT PASCO ARE SAID
TO BE SELLING.
Many People Are Rushing to the Pa
louise Irrigation Scheme-False
Stories Circulated and Land Prices
Raising-None of the Washington
Projects Are Assured.

Land and lots are booming around
Pasco, Wash, and Connell, Wash,
on the hope of the government car
rying out its proposed Palouse project
to irrigate $4,000 acres of the arid
land between the two towns, and
there will be a great deal of grief for
those investing money there before
there is any legitimate business to re-
turn their money to them, says the
Walla Walla Statesman.
The Palouse project never has been
assured, and there is still a consider
able doubt of its being carried out.
Real estate boomers have made false
representations of the governments
position, and land that could have
been had for the taxes two years ago
is now changing hands at $35 an
acre, while town lots, formerly worth
about SO, are quoted at s400. Even
brick buildings have gone up at Con-
nell, almost a desert.
The Palouse stands just where it
did six months ago. The o. R. & N.
asks about 100000 for moving its
tracks from the Washtucna coulee,
which the project requires for res
ervoir. The reclamation Department
made a much smaller cash offer to
E. H. Hartman, which was refused.
He referred the matter to ]. Krutt-
schnitt, his assistant, and A. P. Davis,
acting chief engineer of the service, is
negotiating with him.
The engineers in the field have
found that for about 500 feet on the
north side of the coulee the ground
is so porous it will not hold water,
and they are seking solution for
that difficulty. In the meantime an
other party of engineers is gathering
data on the yakima project and many
people have taken that for an indi-
cation that the Palouse project is
abandoned.
1t is merely a precautionary meas
ure on the part of the government.
however, so that in case the Palouse
project should not prove feasible, it
would not be necessary to delay three
to five years to secure data on another
scheme. Also, If the Palouse pro-
ject does prove feasible, it is neces-
sary to have another at hand to re-
invest the money that will come from
the land under the first,

THE WORLDS POTATO CROPS.
That of Russia the Largest, Then Ger
many, France and the United
STATES

The potato crop in Ireland in 1904
partially failed, according to refer
ence to it in 1.-THE United States Crop
Reporter" for March. The counties
of Galway, Sligo, Mayo and Clare, in
Western Ireland, suffered the prin-
cipal shortage. The total crop of the
country, however, was larger than
that produced in 1908. THE fact
that the crop was above the average
in other parts of Ireland has not
greatly relieved the situation in the
less favored portions, the bulky nature
of potatoes making transportation
too expensive for the product of other
sections to be within the reach of the
poor of the famine district" says the
Reporter.
AS the distances between the af-
fected and disaffected districts are
only about rs miles, such explanation
for suffering is difficult of compre-
hension.
The statistical portion of the Re-
porter's account is probably the more
interesting, in that it gives the acre
age appropriated to the production of
potatoes I'm the civilized countries of
the world in 1903, as follows;

the amount to be sent to Ellie c. VII.
