+, the expense of irrigation IS not needed
here as 1t sometimes is in other sections.
! Again in this section there are various
formations of the country, level, hillside
and table lands, all of which produce
fruit abundantly
Many Varieties Possible.
very great variety of appdes may De
grown in this section. Another great
feature about this section is that it is
tinbered country and the belts of tim
Der afford great protection to fruit trees.
II is we'll known among leading tfult
growers that tinbered country set Win
natural growth is far superior 10 our
prairie lands and that fruit trees VIII
live longer on timbered solls. III eneSe
tinbered sections trees are not so pauly
damaged by winds. Another advantage
that the fimbered soils have over the
nratrfe soils is that they generally hold
both moisture and plant food better ana
this allows better maturity OF the iruit
and also prevents to a great extent the
dropping of the fruit prematurely.
But the Ozark region is but part OF
the fine apple lands. We may commence
with North Alabama, where there are
many fine locations for apple-growng'
and especially 50 for the growing of early
apples Between Memphis and Birming-
ham in North Mississippi, as well as IN

MONEY FOR THE !RooUoIs
New York Preparing to Distribute
Two and a Half Millions Belong
ing to the Indians.


ALBANY, N Y. July 1s-To devise the
best means Of distributing S2,5OO,OOO which
the nation owes the survivors of the Iro-
quois tribes in the state, and to study
other local and Indian problems, Speaker
Nixon today appointed a special committee.
The committee will visit the various re-
servations during the summer and fall and
report to the next legislative session.
The large sum due the New York In
dians was derived from the sale of land
in Kansas which was given them in ex-
change for the old st. Regis reservation
property in this state. After the exchange
was made the Indians refused to 20 to
Kansas and the land there was sold for
their benefit. 1t is probable that after as
certainIng the view of the chief men
among the Iroquois and their ATTORNEYS
the committee will go to Washington and
consult with the commissioner OF Indian
affairs. Another subject to be investigated
Is the question OF Indian citizenship.
. Many Of the IrOquois are prosperous and
well educated and there is a growing senti-
ment In favor OF making them citizens and
no longer the wards of the government.

MURDERER HANGS HIMSELF
Edward GOttschaI<, Under Sentence
of Death at st. Paul, Com
mits Suicide.

ST. PAUL July 19.-Edward Gottschalk
under sentence of death, hung himself in
the county Jail this afternoon.
The guard who had been with him con-
stantly since sentence Of death was passed.
absented himself for about ten minutes
and when he returned to the condemned
mans cell Gottschalk was dead He had
torn a piece of ticking from his bed and
winding one end about his neck, fastened
the other end to a hook in the wall of the
cell, raised himself from the floor and
strangled to death.
Gottschalk In February last murdered
Christian Schindelldecker butcher, in his
shop on prominent business street. hack
ing his victim to pieces with meat cleaver.
A young fellow named Joseph Hartmann
was associated with him in the crime.
Soon after the murder of the butcher the
body of Hartmann, heavily weighted with
iron. was found in the Mississippi river
near Fort Smelling. His skull had been
crushed in. Gottschalk when placed on
trial on the charge Of numbering Hartmann
confessed to tie killing of Hartmann,
claiming that he acted in self-defense. He
denied having killed schindeldecker, saying
that he watched outside while Hartmann
murdered the butcher.

BIG IRON AND STEEL MERGER

BERLIN. July 19.-Sensational specula-
ton is going on on the Berlin Bourse in
the shares Of the Deutche Luxemburgische
Mining company, which today recorded a
jump Of 20 per cent, making a total rise
of 5S per cent since June 30. The Bourse
Is much puzzled over the meaning Of this
speculation, which recalls many features
Of the great struggle over the Hibernia
coal mines last summer between the banks
and the Prussian treasury department to
secure control of the mines. Various rumors
are. in circulation in explanation of the
present campaign. The Deutche Luxem-
burgische is a creation of the Darmstaedter
bank, which reorganized It three years ago
from two bankrupt iron and coal companies.
the Differdingen and the Danmenbaum.
According to one version, another bank is
trying to secure control but another and
apparently the more correct explanation is
that the Deutsche Luxemburgische COM
pany is about to enter into fusion with
several other concerns.
The latter version obtains color through
the fact that three of the greatest coal and
iron magnates in the Essen region are
now in Berlin and that the board of di-
rectors of the Deutsche Luxemburgische
company will meet them. II is expected
that a gigantic combination will be ef-
fected. The Deutsche Luxemburgische COM
pany has capital OF 100000 and $500 900
in debontures. 1t owns furnaces and roll
ing mills patterned after the American
railway system.
