DESERT TRAILS
STATE MINERAL0GIST WOULD
AID PROSPECTORS
Adopts Plans of Local Men to Locate
Wells and Otherwise Assist Trav-
elers Over Sandy Wastes

A movement started several years
ago by the mines and mining commit
tee OF the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce' 'toferect sign boards on the desert
leading to places where water can be
obtained and to otherwise improve the
water conditions has been taken up
bfiy the state mineralogist, who will
present a bill to the Legislature ask
ing that an appropriation be made for
this purpose.
The originator of the movement was
George w. Parsons, a director of the
chamber of commerce and chairman OF
the mining committee. Mr.. Parsons
and w. l.. Watts spent large part of
year travelling over the desert exam
ming and prospecting some of its metal
and mineral deposits and giving es-
pecial attention to the water question.
Mr. Parsons pointed out the need
of water in order to help the work of
the prospector and to develop the full
resources of the desert to the chamber
of commerce and several mining organ
izations, and in 1903 resolutions were
drawn up and passed at meeting OF
the chamber of commerce recommend
ing that the supervisors of San Ber-
nardino and Inyo counties of this state
and Lincoln and Nye counties of Ne
vada be conferred with, preparatory to
taking up the question of the preserva-
ton and purity of wells on the desert
and the possibility of sinking new
ones. Also that signs and notices be
placed over the desert, with distances
and directions given to the nearest
water for the benefit of the prospector
and traveller.
Mr.. Parsons said yesterday with ref
erence to the action of the state miner
alogist "The bill which Lewis ID.
Aubury proposes to pass is just what
we have been agitating. In the last
few years very large mineral discov-
cries have been made in the desert re-
gions of California in several coun-
ties. The state has become famed
abroad for it's resources, and pros
pectors have come here from other
fields. Many of them have risked death
from lack of water, undergone all kinds
of hardships and many have lost their
lives in the search for gold. The pro-
posed bill, if it is passed, will make
prospecting easier and so render the
discoveries OF ore on the California
desert more frequent"
Mr.. Parsons says that instances are
frequent where prospectors have been
found choked to death for lack OF
water within few yards of spring
because there was no means of locating
the water.

May Be Asked to Reslan

TOPEKA, Kas, Jan. 16.-A resolu-
tion asking Senator Burton to resign
was introduced in the Kansas house
and senate this afternoon. . Cyrus Le-
land, leader of the deposed Republican
faction in Kansas and member of the
rouse, is the author of the resolution.
The matter will came up for considera-
tion tomorrow, An effort will be made
to table II on the ground that the case
of Senator Burton is yet before courts
and therefore not subject for legls-
iative action,
The Leland resolution rectes that the
decision of the United States supreme
court today IN the Burton case neces-
sarily deprives Mr.. Burton Of his use
fulness as a representative OF the state
of Kansas In the United States senate.
IT is by no means certain that the
resolution will pass tomorrow but a
great effort viii be made by Burton'1
enemies to push II through.

Most Formidable on Record

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. II, 4:3O a. m.-The
strike of coal miners is the most for
midable affair of he kind that Ger
many has ever haG. There had been
nC serious trouble IN the coal industry
since the strike of 1888, but this strike
far eclipses the one alluded to, all labor
organizations taking part, whereas in
1889 only the Socialist unicps were con-
cerned. The present movement has
reen largely engineered by the So
called Christian unions whic~ other
wise oppose the Socialist element.
commercial and financial classes are
greatly concerned lest the strike should
arrest Germany's recuperaticn from
tie effects of the crisis of 1901, since it
is certain that enforced idle: SIS will
follow in many other industries unless
the strike is speedily settled. The
government, too, is deeply concerned
and the ministry is keeping the wires
busy in communicating with The mill
tary and police authorities in the min
ing country. Chancellor Won Buelow
had a long consult tion oil Monday in
he diet with a government commits
sioner who had just returned from

CHARGE OFFICERS
WITH BLACKMA|L
THREE ARE SUSPENDED BY
CAPT. AuBLE
Owner of Alameda Street Property
Accuses Policemen of Extortinq
Money From Wcmen of the
Fed Liehr District

Whether or not sensation is brew
ing in police circles, the very active
Investigation of the causes underlying
and Vassar and Special officer Mick
lauschitz is interesting if not sig
nificant.
The men were suspended by Capt.
Auble yesterday on charges preferred
by Fred w. Ward, owner of the build
ings at Alameda and Macy streets. The
property owner charges the officers
with blackmailing women who occupy
his premises on a promise of protec-
ton.
For several days Chief Hammel and
Capt. Auble have had the complaint
made by Ward under consideration,
and finally. in order to get the case, in
shape for determination, concluded to
suspend the officers.
The complaint was made by Ward
after Officer Micklauschitz had arrest
ed one of the women who rents from
the owner. When the woman was taken
into court on a charge of plying her
vocation in the abandoned red light
district the judge called the attention
of the district attorney to the facts.
Later the same officer arrested Ward
on charge of carrying a concealed
weapon.
The officers deny that they have
levied tribute on the women and will
fight the case before the police COM
missioners. Kristovich has retained
former Councilman Todd as his attor-
ney.
Chief Hammel and Capt. Auble would
not discuss the suspensions last night
Capt. Auble was discreet to the point
of not affirming the suspensions, but
Chief Hammel said the men had been
suspended pending an investigation.
The heads of the department will make
a searching investigation and estab-
lish the truth or falsity of the charges.
The Los Angeles police department has
been singularly free of such scandals,
and it is the wish of the chief and his
lieutenants to keep it's reputation for
purity unblemished.

had Increased to 1893 vessels Of 75s,14s
gross tons. During the nine months
ended September 80, 1904, there were
added to Japan's mercantile fleet 146
steamers Of ISL, ,sO2 gross tons and there
was a loss, mainly due to casualties
Of war, Of forty-one steamers Of 660S4
gross tons, showing a net Increase Of
1O5 steamers Of e5,7eS gross tons.
The report says that the necessary
abandonment during the war by sever
al leading Japanese. steamship lines Of
their services to foreign countries al
ready has had considerable effect in
changing the channels of trade, as, f,
instance, a large falling off in the inn
portation Of raw cotton from India,
which was the principal source of
pans supply and which trade has gone
to China.
A striking feature in the Industrial
history of Japan during the past year is
the unusual abundance of nearly all ag-
ricultural products, especially the un-
precedented yield OF rice, the yield be-
ing estimated TO be about $24S $4,000
bushels for 1904, an increase of about
17494,223 q compared with the yield Of
1908 The average annual yield of rice
since 1891 has been 99,759794 bushels
Other cereal crors, especially barley
and wheat, show considerable increases
as compared with previous years. On
the basis of the present market value of
rice. Mr.. Grisconl estimates that the in
creased income of the country from this
source will be s22,S2O,S5O over last year.

The small grain farmers of many
black land counties lost a valuable
wheat and oat crop this season be-
cause of weather damage in the shock.
Many feel discouraged and will plant
less wheat than last fail. This is not
the time to quit wheat There cannot
be n surplus of wheat on the worlds
market at the end of one year. Plant
more wheat Select clean, full Der
ries for planting.
Seed wheat should weigh at least
sixty pounds per bushel. SiXty-two
pounds is better. After passing fifty
eight pounds per bushel seed wheat
will yield two more bushels per acre
for every additional pound on land
capable of growing sixteen bushels.
This is a matter of test. 1t cannot be
successfully denied. Grain growers
should be especially careful in this
matter just now. The wheat raisers
of Oklahoma have formed numerous
associations to bring in good seed

The quality of potatoes is the subject
of interesting tests by the New York
experiment station. There Is reason to
believe that good quality is developed
In a soil temperature of 65 degrees to
IS degrees, and the tubers growing
from one and two to five inches below
the surface are subject to these con
ditions Great fuctuation In the soil
temperature is detrimental to the best
development of potatoes, and tubers
growing too near the surface are sub
ject to this huctuation. a too low tenn
perature also Injuries the development
of ripening, and the soil texture prob
ably has something to do with ripen-
ing and flavor; hence if potatoes are
planted shallower than three inches or
deeper than six inches the conditions
are unfayorable.

Soy beans are now grown in all parts

periments, comparing varieties, of
great weight.
The hairy vetch has been grown at
the station for a good many years. II
has been used as green manure and
as a forage crop. 1t has not been a
success in the latter capacity. Sheep
were hurdled on the yetch, but would

GOAT MARKET.
Kansas City Mt Present the Largest
In This Country.

In THIS country.
There is Il growing interest in the
goat industry, and many are marketed
from time to time in Chicago, but Kan
sas City is at present the largest goat
market in the United States This is
mainly because it is the most conven-
lent point, all things considered, for
selling them, as the great bulk OF the
Angora goats are bred and raised in
the southwestern portions of the Unit
ed States. New Mexico and Texas are
the homes of these animals largely, and
it is safe to say that the Kansas City
packing houses slaughter more goats in
the course of year than all the other
markets of the country combined. The
carcasses are usually sold as mutton
after the goats are slaughtered, and 1t
Is hard to find a market where goat
meat is sold under its proper name.
The wethers and does pass for mutton,
while the kid goats and yeariings pass
for lambs. The wethers and does are
usually sold at low prices after being
prepared for the market, but fat weth-
er goats will dress out fully as well as
fat sheep.
