CLEVER PLOT TO BREAK JAIL
Convict, an Electrician, Puts Out All
the Lights with Switch
Recaptured.

Salem.-By means of an ingeniousiy
contrived cutoff switch with which
he controlled the lighting system Of
the prison Charles Williamson, a
trusty convict, escaped from the peni-
Tertiary, but was Tecaptured before he
succeeded in getting out of town.
Williamson is an electrician serving
a five-year term for forgery. He tapped
the main current wire in the pump
house and put in an imprOvised switch.
When ready to leave before daylight,
Williamson shut off the lights, tied a
string to his switch lever, to which he
attached a water bucket. He punctuFed
the bottom of the bucket and dropped
it into the water tank outside the
building. The water slowly filled the
bucket, which was weighted with lead.
until it sank after a period of two
hours and half and turned on the
lights again.
In the meantime Williamson scaled
the penitentiary wall in a dark spot
and escaped. Warden Curtis happened
to be at the Southern Pacific depot.
recognized the fellow as he was about
to board the train for Portland and re-
arrested him.

TWINS IN LIFE AND DEATH
Girl, Born After Her Mate, Died
Shortly After He Did-His-
tory of Existence.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Wnllam and
Jane Lawrence. the twin babies OF
William and Jane Lawrence, who re-
side in the rear of 343S Clearfield
street, were buried side by side in the
same grave in Leyerington cemetery
to-day. The babies were eight months
and nine days old.
By a peculiar coincidence William
was the first of the twins to be born
and he was the first to die. Since they
were born the twins have been Ill a
great deal of the time. When one was
taken sick the other would become i'll
within a few moments. Lately the
twins appeared to be on the road to re-
covery. They were nursed carefully
and seemed to lie thriving.
Recently William was seized with
a CONFUSION The mother tried the
usual remedies and the baby grew bet
ter. About the same time Jane was
taken i'll. William grew worse and
died. His sister expired 10 minutes
after.
Death of twins in a similar manner
is not an unusual thing, according to
physicians. BY some strange affinity.
physicians say twin infants are more
or less part of one another until the
age of adolescence is reached, or until
the children become fully matured.

-1ldLlbllcSs Is
=. especial Importance in view of the
fact that the United States in 1904 be-
came a rice exporting, instead of a rice
importing nation, increasing her ex-
ports so per cent aud decreasing her
imports 20 per cent, as compared with
the transactions of the preceding year.
In the calendar year 1904 the importa-
tons of rice into the United States
amounted to 1370OO,0O0 pounds, as
against 17S,OOO,OOO in 1903, a decrease
OF Al 100000; while the exports of rice
(including the shipments to Hawaii
and Porto Rico) were 1SS,0OO,OO0 as
against 100000 in 1903 In 1903 the
purchases Of foreign-grown rice by the
United States exceeded its sales of that
staple abroad by S6,000,000 pounds,
whereas in 1904 the sales abroad slight
3 ly exceeded the importations of rice.
In view of these developments the
following abridgment of Mr.. Bells re-
port will be of interest:
Rice cultivation in the United States
has become an important industry
During the fiscal year 1899 the prOduc-
ton was 25O,2SO,2 21 pounds, the land
under rice cultivation was 342.9 1S acres
This year 1t Is calculated that the yield
will be about 47O,OO0OOO pounds. the
land planted with rice being 643, 400
acres. Notwithstanding this large in
crease it is stin insufficient to meet the
home demand.
Before 1860 the rice production in
the United States was practically linn
tied to the alluvial lands Ut the Caro-
linas. Georgia. Florida and Louisiana
When labor conditions were altered
after the civil war the production in
the eastern states decreased consider
ably. When machinery was adapted tC
rice production and 1t was discovered
that the prairie lands of southwestern
Louisiana and southern Texas, with
their impervious subsOils, would Dig
before the rice harvest sufficiently &c
support machinery, there was revo-
luton in the rice industry.
Fifteen years ago there was scarcely
a barrel of commercial rise produced
in what is now known as the prairie
rice section of Texas, which extends
400 miles along the gulf coast, and con-
tains some of the most fertile lands or
this continent. These lands were then
valued at 25 cents to $l.5e per acre
To-day improved lands are worth on
an average $3.50 per acre. Within
the territory there are about 80 rice
mills with daily capacity of over 90
900 barrels of rice.
The following is a comparison of the
average value per acre of rice lands
with whea. lands in various states:
