DESERTED WOMAN
TRAMPS IN MANS GARB

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-After a
three months journey across the con-
tinent from Nevada, during which
she was attired in mans cloth as, Mrs.
Margaret Jenkins arrived here Tues
day, says dispatch to the Herald
from Wilkes barre, Pa She was max
ing hei way by stealing rides OIL fright
trains and was bound for Lewiston,
Pa, where she has relatives. A
Lehigh Valley Railroad special officer
saw her in a freight car and arrested
her. Not until she was taken to tn e
station house did she reveal the fact
that she was woman and then she
told her story so pathetic that she
was released.
She said that eight years ago she
and her husband left Scranton for Ne
vada, where they lived happily until
three months ago, when he deserted
her. To proud to remain in the town
where she was kon wn. but pennlless
and without friends to whom she
could appeal, che decided to make her
way east.
Finding that as a woman even food
was refused her and that work was
impossible to obtain, she procured
men s clothing. cut off her hair and
resumed her journey east ward.

plants the seeds. From the result
ing seedlings he selects the single
plant, or the two or three at most
which he finds best suited for his
purpose. The seeds Ct these are again
planted and the work of selection goes
on. 1t was from 4 bed of $4,000
plants that he selected one from
which his white blackberry was de-
veloped. The seeds accumulate by a
rapid progression. In a few seasons
there is an immense quantity OF
them. All are planted. He does not
believe I'm dealing with a few exam
pies. He chooses few, but the num-
ber to be chosen from is large.
When the time for selection comes.
the whole lott may be a hundred
or two hundred thousands passed
before him I'm review. He selects
those which suit his purpose, and
the others go to the brush heap and
the bonfire. Prof. De Wires has re-
marked: 1T is no easy task to pick
the right apple tree from a growing
bed of 100000 seedlings" But this
is exactly what Mr.. Burbank does.
He deals with large numbers and his
results are correspondingly large and
important.

THE DAKOTA AT SEATTLE.
Jim Hills Second Monster Steamer Is
Ready for Trip to Orient.

Seattle, June 27.-The steamship
Dakota. the seond mammoth new Ori-
entail liner of the Great Northern
Steamship company, sailed from San
Francisco last night for Seattle. and
will reach this port today or tomor-
row.
Except in few minor particulars
the Dakota is the exact prototype of
the Minnesota, her sister ship. The
most important difference between
the two vessels is in the style OF their
firing appliances. the second ship be-
ing equipped with more complete me-
chanical stokers. On account of
minor differences in other arrange
ments the Dakota has little more
cargo space than the Minnesota and
so measures six tons or 20 cubic feet
larger than her sister ship.
Immediately upon her arrival here
the Dakota will unload her cargo OF
steel rails for the Alaska Central rail
road, which cargo will he promptly
forwarded to destination via Seward
AS soon as this cargo Is discharged
the vessel will be fitted and loaded
for her maiden voyage to the Orient
on which she will sail on July is.

STUDY ALASKAN REINDEER.
Special Agent of the Interior Depart
ment on Important Mission.

Colonel F. c. Churchill special
agent Of the department of the inter-
ior, sailed from Seattle for Alaska
Sunday evening on the steamship
Senator on a mission having for its
purpose the conduct of thorough in
vestigation into the government rein
deer experiment in the Seward PENN
sula.
He will spend from six to eight
weeks in the Nome country, returning
to Southeastern Alaska via Dawson.
and visiting the several towns of that
portion of the district for the purpose
of studying the Alaska school system.
For the past 10 years congress has
been making annual appropriations
for the introduction of reindeer from
Siberia among the Eskimo of North
western Alaska. In all nearly $780,
600 has been appropriated and ex-
pended in this experiment. The work
has been carried on under the direc-
ton of Sheldon Jackson, commission
er of education for Alaska.
Last year Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock refused to include the rein
deer appropriation III HIS tSAliiihNS7
for the year Nevertheless the lower
house of congress inserted an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose,
and this was increased by the senate
to S2O,OO0,\ and provision was in
serted requiring the secretary of the
| interior to have a full investigation
made by an Independent investigator
whether the time has not come when
the reindeer of Alaska can be left in
| the hands of the natives.
Complaint is made that although
| 5000. 600 in money has been expended
and 10000 reindeer imported ano
born in the district, the animals are
chiefly in the hands of the mission
aries, and less than 100 natives have
been induced to undertake the care
of the animals on account of the yer!
exacting requirements of the men II
charge of the experiment. This il
the nature of the investigation in
trusted to Mr.. Churchill, who passed
! through Pendleton last week.

BURBANKS NEW PLANTS.
Wonderful Progress of the Wizard
of California

The processes by which he (Luther
Burbank, the famous horticulturist)
works are not new or peculiar. They
are in accord with well known and
unalterahle laws of nature. The prin-
cipal methods used are selection and
crossing. Nature is using these same
processes every day. The bees and
the wind carry the pollen of one
flower to fertilize another, thus
bringing about the crossing of species.
The struggle for existence and a
thousand circumstances of growth
and development. tend to weed out the
unfit among the plants, leaving the
best to survive. This is selection.
But where natures operations are
largely left to chance and accident,
and his results are sure and imme-
says George Clark in July Success.
He takes two plants whose life
habits, structure, and environment
may have been wholly different He
brings them together, implanting the
pollen of one upon the stigma of the
other. As result the species are
thrown into a state of perturbation
set to "wabbhng," as it were. The
nIe-tenuenCleS are broken up Dy the
shock. The plants resulting from the
| crossing may resemble one or the
other of the parents plant. These
are not important.
Some of the plants will combine
the best qualities of the parents From
these improved varieties of fruits and
flowers are produced. Some of the
plants will be different from either
parent-perhaps unlike any other
plant in existence. From these un-
usual variants new plants may be de-
veloped.
| He selects his original subjects from
far and near. He brings a raspberry
| from Siberia to combine It with a ma
tive blackberry of California. He
brings a plum from China or Japan
to combine It with a native apricot
An experiment is built up on the
foundation of a common wild flower
as the daisy. for example. In another
experiment, flower from Australia
may be used. He brings cactus
from Central America to cross with
species from Arizona.
Having crossed his species, IL

CAN REACH THE PORTAGE.
Major Langfeitt Says Large Steamers
Can Pass the Rapids.

That the stretch of water lying be-
tween The Dalles and Big Eddy,
known as Three Mile rapids, is nav
igable. has been demonstrated by Ma
jor w. c. Langfitt, who took the
steamer Glenola through there yes
terday and is bringing her to Port
land today says the oregon Daily
Journal. She went through the
rapids with ease, and was taken back
to The Dalles without mishap.
Since the portage road was built a
number of the local steamboat men
said that it should have been extend
ed to The Dalles from the Big Eddy,
as they thought the rapids were un-
navigable. To ascertain the truth of
the matter, the government engi-
neers chartered the steamer Glenola
from the Oregon Round Lumber COM
pany with which to make an expert
ment. The United States engineers
will take the stand that there is no
necessity for any further extension of
the portage road.
Were it extended to The Dalles, as
has been requested, it would also be
necessary to build the government
canal to that point, which would in
volve the expenditure of many more
thousands of dollars. A large amount
of money has been spent already by
the government in clearing the chan
mel of Three Mile rapids of all OBJ
structiOns to navigation.
The steamboat men of Portland
asked for the extension of the port
age road because they were opposed
to sending their vessels any further
up the stream than The Dalles and
wanted the city from which they
received the major portion of their
business to be the terminus. Some
of them declare that they will not &C
through the rapids to the portage
road if it is possible to secure enough
freight at The Dalles to make almost
full CargoeS,
