OSTRICH FARMING
COSTS AS MUCH TO REAR
AN OSTRICH AS A SHEEP
Greatest American Ostrich Farm Is at
Phoenix, Arlz., Where 1000 Are

Crushed Olives Taken From Olive

United States.

Inland people will be interested to
know that a new kind of stock is
multiplying in America, verify the
American ostrich. Arizona and Cali
fornia have been selected as a suit
able place in this country for the
propagation of the African ostrich, for
those states more nearly resemble the
appearance of the African deserts than
others.

glowers upon the surface of the bar

found the cheapest food for their sup

creatures with the remains of olives

the olive oil manufacturer the residum
of wineries and loads of decayed or
anges, or green, that fall to the ground
in the orange orchards of California,
are fed to the ostriches
It costs as much in these states to
maintain an ostrich as a sheep. Even

of the ostrich into America, there are

them to domestic life, hence there is
now a population of 100000 ostrich
feathers and the markets Of the world
supplied with African ostrich feathers,
a. trade of about $8,000,000 per an
Inum, but in America we have to wait
the slower process of natural multi
plication.
The largest ostrich farm in this
country is at Phoenix, Ariz. Here
1000 ostriches are collected, owned by
a widow, whose late husband dreamed
that he would control the American
ostrich market; that no American lady
would buy an ostrich feather unless
from his establishment Now there
are some nine ostrich farms between
the Atlantic and Pacific, but all save
! one or two make their income by ex
hibiting the ostriches as shows, aftel

SITUATION DISCUSSED.
French and American Naval Officers
 Talk If Over.

Talk It Over.
 Paris, May 27.--The naval situation in the Far East has been discussed be- tween French and American naval cf- fcers, the latter including Admirals who took part in the Spanish war. Both the French and Americans took the view that the Japanese would per init the Russian fleet to enter Vladivos- tok which thereafter would become the scene of a repetition of the naval slt- uation at Santiago and at Port Arthur. A French officer said it was character istic of Russian sailors to seek the sup port of land Qualifications, where they adopt defensive. making sorties un- der cover of the guns of the forts in- stead of adopting open sea tactics. On the other hand 1t was pointed out that the Japanese had everything to gain in permitting the Russians to enter Vla- divostok instead of taking chances of sea fight. Once inside Vladivostok the Russians would require coal and provisions and it, would be impossible to secure these, as Field Marshal Oya- ma would cut the land communications and Admiral Togo would prevent mer- chant vessels from carrying supplies 10 Vladlvostok. This would present much the same situation as at Santiago and Port Arthur with the Russians keepin z under the shore defenses and the Japn-
 
 and trying to obstruct the channels. Both the French and American officers believe that such a situation would re- suit in a prolonged delay, the tinal re- suit depending upon RojestvenslEY's au- dacity in hazarding a sortie and a fight in the open sea.
 King Alfonso will arrive here next Tuesday for a six days visit.

 The approaching separation of the church and state fin France has dis- closed a curious situation whereby Christmas, Easter and other holidays to which the French are devoted will be abolished rnder the separation bill. This led NJ. Gerault-PichaEd to satis- fy public opinion by an amendment contiuing the principal holidays un- der other names The amendment which has been accepted by those in charge of the bill substitutes spring flower festival for Easter, harvest fes- tival for the feast of the assump- ton, memorial festival for the feast of all saints and family festival for Christmas.

AGAINST EXTRA SESSION.
Senator EIkIns Argues With President
 ROOaeVeIt

Washington, May 27.-Senator Elkins, Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, told the President today that his committee would reassemble two or three weeks before the next session of Congress, whether it be ex- traordinary or regular. to frame its report on the recent hearings on rail- road rate legislation. At that session of the committee the nature of the bill to be submitted to the Senate will be determined.
 Senator Elkins urged the President not to call Congress into extraordinary session. maintaining that as the ses- sion beginning on the first Monday in December would be the long session, Congress would have ample time to consider all questions of importance without a special session. He express ed to the President the opinion that Senators and Representatives general ly hoped the President would not call them into extraordinary session. The President has not indicated definitely his purpose as to calling an extraordi- nary session, although he has consider ed anxiously the fixing of the date about the middle of october.

 It is undeniable that many thoughtful Liberals display almost consternation over the success that thus far has at- tended Rojestvensky's voyage.
