amused at the claims of the officers
of the Canadian Australian liner Ma
nuka that she had bteaten the Sonoma
up from Sydney. The two steamships
left sydney the same day but the
Sonoma had to make a long detour to
call at Auckland and this made her
course a good 700 miles or almost two
steaming days longer than that of the
Manuka In spite of that and of the
fact that she stopped nearly six hours
longer at Page Page than the Manu-
ka did at Suva. she reached Honolulu
less than a day behind that ship, prac-
tically beating her more than day
on the run between Sydney and this
port in point of speed. There was a
light first cabin list, though there
were quite a number of second cabin

Fewer Land Seekers.

Denver, Aug. 5.-Grand Junction is
leading in registration now for the
uintah land drawing. heavy decrease
being reported from Provo. At Grand
Junction yesterday 1872 persons were
registered. About 300 people arrived
there during the day. all of whom were
registered before the Office closed.
Many of those who register are going
TO the reservation to see the land.
1t is evident that no attention will
be paid to the adverse criticism of
Commissioner Richards. who has
aroused some feeling. according to re-
port. The Governor Cutler petition from
Salt Lake asking that a registration
office be located there will not be
granted. because Commissioner Rich
ards advised against such action.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Wonderfully Efficient American News
paper Organization.

In the interview which NJ. Witte.
the senior Russian peace plenipoten-
tiary. accorded to the Associated Press
representative in St. Petersburg Mon
day, and which was published in full
in the Gazette yesterday morning. was
this significant statement:
"In according the honor of an inter
view NJ. Witte said he expressly de-
sired it stated that he had declined all
previous requests of journalists for
interviews. and would decline all fu-
ture requests. He further said that
he had made an exception in the case
of the Associated Press, as 1t was the
representative of the press of the
United States"
This recognition of the peculiar posi-
tion of the Associated Press by the
foremost Russian statesman of to-day
is not extraordinary, for this great
news-gathering bureau has repeatedly
received similar recognition from
many of the greatest men in Europe,
including the Gar, the Kaiser. the
King of Italy and the President of,
France. Through the efforts of Mel
vile E. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press, the Gar issued or
ders which made possible for the first
time the gathering and transmission
of complete reports of Russian affairs.
This was done just before the begin
ming of the present war, and the re
suit has been of vast benefit to the
world in acQuainting 1t with true con.
ditions, both in Russia and at the
front.
The war in the Far East has splen-
didly demonstrated the superiority OF
the Associated Press news service to
all other agencies in the world. Sev-
eral of the great London and New
York dailies have kept special GORE
spondents in the field at enormous ex-
pense, but the real news has come
from the "A. p men.-Colorado
Springs Gazette.

larly struck by his energy and broad

BAsY'S INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick


Forwarding a photo of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
THE enclosed picture shows my 4
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape Nuts. He
demands and gets this food three
times day. This may seem rather
unusual. but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape-Nuts. which he uses with milk
or cream. and then he is through with
his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other fool
ish members of the family expert
enced.
He is never sick. has beautiful
complexion, and is considered very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
pany prosper and long continue to fur
nish their wholesome food!" Name

Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
Plaee-its Tremendous Electrical
Power the Inducement.

Niagara Falls. August 1.-THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possioil-
ity of practical wiping out OF this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day. for industrial purposes. is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user OF the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
nv the fiye or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union.
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
DRY calcium carbide is lifeless as
SO much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetyiene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn Of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy. as
well as for lighting the streets of
large number of towns Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed.
and the manufacture and sale OF
acetylene generators has become
business of recognized standing. has
assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.

It's easy to plant a mortgage on a
farm, but it isn't so easy to raise it.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use In the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because 1t is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs..
while all the other kinds contain but
- ozs. 1t is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
