ISLAND OF SAkHALlN.
Russaa's Penal Colony Which Has Boea
Taken BY the japanese.

Auooaa's Penal Colony Which Has Been
Taken BY the japanese.
The island of Sakhalin, Russia's
penal colony in the Far East, which
Japan has captured, is 500 miles long
and from II to $50 broad and has q
population of $4,000.
For the most part the land Is COW
cred with primeval forest, SO dense
that the rivers are the chief native
highways, navigated by dugouts in
summer and crossed in dog or reindeer
sledges In winter. With the opening
of winter the narrow Straits of Tar
tary, dividing Sakhalin from the ST.
berian coast, are frozen over, and SO
far as water communication is con-
cerned the island Is cut off from the
world, and the mails are brought
across from Nicolaievsk on the main
land by nartas or sledges harnessed
with long teams Of arctic dogs.
In addition to the Russians FIVE diff
ferent peoples are to be found on the
island, these including the Orochons,
Anus, Gilyaks, fungus and Yakuts.
There are altogether about 5000 ma
tives, of whom the largest number are
Gilyaks.
The Russian occupation is practical

John Moore's Busy Evening.

The family of John Moore. in north
ern Comanche county, went to a place
Of refuge from a tornado the other
night only to find that they had gotten
into a cave barefooted with a rattle
snake. The interior of the cave was
in complete darkness when the in
mates were startled by hearing the I'M
mistakable sound made by a RATHER.
Mr.. Moore hastily struck a match and
by its faint glfmmer saw the snake in
the attitude of striking. The match
went out and the family began to
scream. Another match was lighted
and the snake was { till visible, and
rafting furiously. Then Mr.. Moore
made a flying leap for the steps, jump
ing over the snake, opened the door
and secured a pitchfork. Then while
his wife held a match he killed the
RATHER, which measured over three
feet long.-Kansas City Journal

Women who indulge in simple"
shirt waists Of the kind that cost from
$50 to $85 apiece must have suitable
places in which to keep them. To sat

shops now keep "shirt waist boxes"
that are just as inexpensive (from the
moneyed woman's viewpoint) as are
the waists, AZ they cost "only" from
$35 to $50. These boxes really are
cabinets with separate drawers for
every shirt waist. The cheaper boxes
are covered with cretonne; tho more
costly ones with brocade.

0AOu1O LILO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VI lu0
President be carried out by Congress
regarding the repeal of the timber and
stone act and the enactment Of a COM
prehensive forestry law, the irrigation
land would be greatly increased. The
government timber sales during the
past two years under the timber and
stone act have been about three mil
lion acres, at a uniform price Of $3.50
an acre, much Of the land densely for
ested with the finest Washington
spruce and Oregon and California FIR
and redwood, worth, according to on
cial reports, from $40 to $50 an acre.
President Roosevelt's plan is to sell
only the stumpage at the market price,
allowing the land to grow up to new
forests for future crops. Every honest
friend Of both irrigation and forestry
will heartily support this splendid idea
which seeks not only to prevent tho
wasteful forest destruction now going
on in the West, but to provide an in
come from stumpage sales at least ten
times the amount now received by the
government.
Had the timber lands which the
government has disposed of since the
passage Of the irrigation act-thres
year-been sold under President
Roosevelt's plan, they would have
yielded upwards Of 1926, 900, 900, which
would have irrigated 100000 acres Of
desert and at the same time assured
the reforestation Of 100000 acres Of
our best timber land. Instead, 90 per
cent Of this has gone into the pockets
Of spectators.

Conquest d ii: Great
American Desert
sc&sssssS

A rare day in June, three years ago,
was the 18th Of that month, the ami
versary Of the battle of Bunker Hill
and the birthday Of the national irri-
cation law, writes Guy E. Mitchell.
And the net result of the latter, at the
beginning Of the present fiscal year,
is an irrigation appropriation Of $780,
600, 900, with an automatic revolving
law under which the fund is constantly
increasing through additions from the
sales Of Western public lands and the
repayment to the government by the
hettlers Of all expenditures for irriga-
ton construction.
The anniversary this year of Bunker
Hill-National Irrigation day was duly
celebrated in Nevada as in Boston, in
the former commonwealth at the
Truckee irrigation project in the pres
ence of party Of distinguished United
States senators and representatives, and
government officials, who witnessed
the opening Of the first completed gov
eminent irrigation works and the turn
ing Of 100000 gallons of water per
minute into grea. government canal.
This ceremony meant a great deal
for the idea of American home-making
under national auspices. Fifty thou
sands acres received their first govern
ment irrigation-the finished portion
of vast project for the reclamation
Of $4,000 acres at a cost of nine mil.
lion dollars, under the guidance of L.
H. Taylor, federal reclamation en-.
gineer for Nevada. Within ten years
the cost Of irrigating this 50,OOO-acre
tract-$1, $50, OOO-will all have been
returned to the government by the set
tiers paying for the water rights in ten
annual installments, to be applied by
the government in the continuation of
the project. The possibilities Of this
revolving irrigation fund are indeed
very great.
Were there to be no addition to the
reclamation fund, it's present thirty
million dollars would eventually re-
claim the West. But with the large
yearly additions which have been COM
ing in it is destined before many years
to reach the $1OO,OOO0OO mark and
become vast fund for the redemption
of Uncle Sans desert lands for settle
ment. And could there be a greater
work than that Of making homes for
the people?
Almost half Of the entire United
States is comprised in the area COW
cred by these great irrigation projects,
rivaling the gigantic works of Egypt
and British India. The following
amounts have been apportioned by the
secretary Of the interior in the differ
ent States and territories:

Millions of Jews
TO En4grate From
Scenes of Massacre
No Hope for Sufferers in Russia Except
in Immediate Flight

London, Dec. 9.-In an important
appeal in behalf of the oppressed Jews
In Russia signed by Lord Rothschild.
Sir Samuel Montague and a number of
other leaders OF the Jewish movement
in Great Britain. the admission IS
made that for the bulk OF the Russian
Jews, there is no hope of salvation. eX-
oe2t through a new regime of liberty
ana justice. when they will receive
equal rights with their fellow citizens
of every creed The appeal points out
that all proposed schemes for coloni-
zatton and emigration can only bene-
tit small proportion of the sufferers,
and 1t therefore calls on all Jews and
their sympathizers to abandon the
great colonization schemes for the
more practical program of emigration
and the granting of immediate aid to
the suffering and bereaved.
The signatories to the appeal ask
whore there is to be found the $780,
100000 required at $3.50 per head to
transplant the first million Jews from
Russia, not to say anything Of the
total of 100000 Russian Jews for
whom all schemes hitherto proposed
had been quite inadequate. while the
formation of such an autonomous
Ghetto state, even If a territory large
enough could be obtained. would be
open to many grave objections. on
the other hand. 1t says $3.50 would em-
lgrate six persons to Argentina or Cam
ada. In conclusion the pressing ne
cessity for the immediate assistance OF
the actual sufferers is emphasized.
