Port Arthur.

Toxic. Jan. 3.-The following cable
has been received from General Nogi:
II received letter relating to surren-
der from General stoessel, the COM
mander of the Port Arthur garrison,
Sunday night at 3 O'clock
The news that the Russian forces
at Port Arthur have been reduced to
such a strait that at last the heroic
commander has been forced to promise
surrender follows upon a month Of re-
verses. The siege began almost with
the firing of the first gun Of the war
now nearly eleven months ago-and
when perhaps the greatest stronghold
in the world was garrisoned by 10000
Russian soldiers, supported by a for
midable squadron Of modern battle
ships, cruisers and torpedo boats.
These warships have been destroyed
or dispersed. The garrison at latest
accounts had been reduced to about

schools with competent teachers. In
neighborhoods which are thiekly settled
this consolidation may afford an oppor-
tunity for experimenting, but with such
combination must leave unemployed
the teachers relieved of their school.
What is needed and is more practicable
than consolidation, is the betterment OF
the schools now established by fixing
longer hours, with teachers competent to
teach in the schools in the country as in
the schools in the town, where eonsolida-
ton may be practicable. On mature re-
Election we DO not believe the people in
the country would favor the consolida-
ton of the schools.

new building in Times Square, a struc-
ture which has been referred to by ex-
perls as one of the notable architectu-
raj triumphs of the world. In recogni-
ton of this contribution to the archi-
tectural beauty of New York, the city
government, some time ago, named the
district form Forty-second str' E north

Seventh avenue, Times Square, and the
Subway station in the basement of
the building bears the same title. The

fireworks from the observatory of the
building, more than 400 feet above
Broadway.
The moving, including thirty-t two
linotype machines. brought from 80
Park Row to Times Square, over dis
lance of three miles, began after mid
night. A force Of $50 expert machinists
accomplished the work without the
slightest hitch or delay, and Sunday
night the same machines were setting
up the paper that did similar work f1f-
teen hours earlier, three miles away.
In a special edition published to cell
citrate the occupancy Of the building
there is an elaborate description of its
equipment. Among the features men,
toned In this edition Is that the build
Ing Is the taIlest structure from base
to top, being thirty-one stories, with
an extreme height Of Ats feet; that a
new record In steel tonnage has been
made in Its construction and it con-
-tains larger percentage Of steel to
eubical contents than any other office
building, having at the same time the
strongest and stiffest steel frame struc-
ture of similar dimensions ever erect
ed. It contains thirty ton girder, the
largest in any office building and in Its
construction $4,000 field driven rivets
were used. -.c.

Blight on Apple Trees

In the last issue of the Dakota
Farmer Prof. Hanson tells something
about blight on apple trees. It
seems from what he says that trees
when making most rapid growth are
most subject to it. This has been a
year Of remarkable tree growth, W
ing to the heavy rainfall. This may
account for the presence of blight in
the few orchards of the county for
the first time this year. The writer
fnds it on quite a number of trees
where never seen before. AS soon as
the leaves begin to wither enough to
show its presence the branch should
be removed and burned. One of the
largest apple trees in the city here,
on Louis Layers grounds, was entire
ly killed by blight, and a number of
others in the city are badly afflicted
this yea
