sat at that wedding feast and chanted
psalms hour after hour, with tears
rolling down their cheeks, have gooo
cause for emotion.
One broad-chested fellow was espe-
cially overcome. He was thinking OF
the wife and little ones he had LETT
behind when he escaped across the
frontier. For four years, against MS
religious principles. he had served IN
the cars army. After a brief vaca-
ton granted him to see his family ne
was again commanded to go back to
] the army.
I But there came to him a broadening
of the skies, vision of liberty, and in
stead of fighting the Japs before Fort
| Arthur he is eating noodle soup In
Los Angeles. But of the welfare OF
wife and children he knows nothing.
| Another recent arrival, an athletic,
black bearded fellow, in typical Rus
sian dress, with his dark red blouse
belted by cord of blue, is thinking
sadly of the companion who fell
wounded from the shot of a frontier
guardsman as in company with two
others he crossed the line that gave
them freedom. The three men reached
this country in safety, but whether
their companion is dead or alive they
do not know. Letters are frequently
intercepted by the Russian govern
ment and communication is uncertain.
There are several families now en-
route to the Los Angeles colony, some
detained at Hamburg and others in
New York. 1t is expected that be-
cause of the widespread agitation
now going on in Russia that there will
be an exodus that will bring 1000
people of this brotherhood to Cali
fornia within the year.
| Tho now minister Of the interior
who controls the granting of pass
ports, is said to be much more liberal
than the murdered Won Plehve and
the peasants are hopeful that immi-
grafton will be made easier for them.
Necessarily, these people on their ar
rival here are poor in this world s
goods. Houses, lands and personal
property if sold i'm Russia must be
sold secretly. Frequently it is con-
fiscated. Then the expense of trans
portation is very great.
Consequently, these Russian immi-
grants have not much money with
which to establish themselves here.
But they are frugal and temperate,
industrious and persevering, and with
these thrifty habits are sure to make
good citizens They are looking for
available land where a community
may be founded and firmly believe
that God has directed them to this
country.
One of the hymns they sing was
written by a member of the brother
hood some forty years ago and 1t
foretells their going forth to far
southern land where peace, plenty and
prosperity awaits them. They are
convinced that the prophecy is now
being fulfilled and that the promised
land is California.

RUBBER IN HAWAII.
By JARED G. SMITH.

control Of the native rubber gatherers
is absolutely impossible, and attempts
at restraint or supervision worse than
futile. The native collector wants to
get as much as he can today, so that
he will not have 10 work tomorrow
Enormous forest trees, perhaps hum
dreds of years old, are felIed or hacked
and mutiiated so that they soon die
and rot. and for his trouble the native
secures on an average hardly one per
cent. of the total amount of rubber
in the bark, but that which he gets
costs him only the labor of gathering
it. There is no investment of capital
No taxes have been paid on the lands
producing the raw material, and there
has been no expenditure for labor or
permanent improvements and executive
management of the enterprise.
In the case of plantation for the
production of rubber on a commercial
scale, the points tosbe considered are
not merely the adaptability of certain
rubber bearing species of plants to GER
tain soils and climatic conditions, but
it is fully as important to so conduct
the enterprise during the first UNI
productive years that the total capital
gins shall not be SO large as to pre-
clude the possibility of average div
idends. The robbery of cultivated trees
after the manner of the native rubber
collectors is of course entirely out of
the question. A plantation manage
ment must evolve methods of gather
ing rubber in such a manner that the
trees will not be destroyed and yet so
that they will produce to the very
maximum of their capacity. Fungus
diseases and insect pests will undoubt-
eddy appear. The question of how much
or how little cultivation is necessary
will have to be worked out in a prac-
teal way. In other words, the cul-
tivation OF rubber is an experiment and
until it has passed the experimental
stage no one knows to what extent it
will be profitable.
The outlook is good, viewed from
the standpoint of an increasing de-
mand for the product.
Conditions in Hawaii are apparently
extremely favorable for the cultivation
of the Ceara trees. One of the newly
formed companies have already plant
ed 100000 seeds of this species, and ex-
pect to have half a million trees grow
ing within another two years. If our
planters succeed with rubber as they
have with sugar, and put into the
business as much science, skill and
! knowledge as they would into any 9TH
| err new enterprise there can be alb
| solutely no question of ultimate sue
cess. The planters of Hawaii stand
on an equal footing with those of any
other of the tropical countries of the
| world in that the cultivation of rubber

WE'RE GIANTS

Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric In

of the Maryland Academy of Science.
The remains are at the academy's
building on Franklin street, where they
are being articulated and restored by

c-IvI -. Iney WIii De placeu on public
exhibition early in the fall
Coiie~ comprises eight Skele-
tons, of which some are women and
children. They are not all complete,
bur all the large bones have been found
and there is at least one complete
specimen of an adult man. The ex-
caVationS We're in progress for months,
and the discovery is considered one OF
the mos1 important, from the stand
point of anthropology, in Maryland in
a number of years. The remains are
believed to be at least 1000 years old.
The formation of the ground above
and the location of the graves give
every evidence of this. During the ex-
cavations the remains of the camps
of later Indians were revealed. These
consisted OF oyster shell heaps, charred
and burned earth and fragments ofcook-
ing utensils. These discoveries We're
made fully ten feet above the graves
which contained the gigantic skeie-
tons.
There have been other discoveries in
Maryland of remains of men of ire
,I<,,,
covered at Ocean City several years
ago which measured fraction over
feet inches. This skeleton was in
tered in regular burying mound and
beads manufactured by white men
were found upon it. The dead Indian
was probab bly, one of the tribes men,
toned by Capt. John Smith, who. in
July, 1903, made a voyage of explora-
ton of the Chesapeake Bay.
At the point on the Choptank where
the remains were found there are steep
shelving cliffs of sand and gravel that
extend to the waters edge. Beneath
the bank is a layer of mari. The
graves are in the sand a few feet
above the hard mari, and have de-
posits of between twenty and thirty
feet of sand and gravel above them.
A peculiar feature of the discovery is
the charred state of the bones of the
women and children. Those of the men
are untouched by fire. This seems to
indicate that the ancient Indians Gre
mated the bodies of all except their
warriors. The wet resting place of the
bones for so MANY centuries has made
them very soft and fragile, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that they
were Observation-Disclosures American.

FOR PANAMA CANAL
Congress Will be Asked for SIG, 1000, 900
To Continue the Work.

Washington, Nov. 20.-An estimate of
$16,OOO,0 900 for continuing work on the
Panama canal has been sent to the
treasury department from the war de-
partment to be sent to Congress.
The estimate of $16,000,0 900 is for eX-
penditure up to and including the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1907. A part of this
money will be required at once and an
emergency appropriation will be asked
as soon as Congress convenes. 1t is
stated at the offices of the commission.
Monday, that unless money is provided
as soon as Congress convenes all work
must cease. The estimate is made with
out regard to the proposal to issue
bonds.
Advocates of lock canal have not

the fact that the consulting engineers
have decided in favor of a sea level ca

THE CAUSE OF POLAND
Set Forth in Manifesto Issued by the
Delegation at St. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 2O.-The delega-
ton of "a prominent Poles, comprising
representatives of all the principal par
ties ir Poland except the Socialists; and
also including members of the Catho-
lie. Evangelical and Hebrew churches.
which came to st. Petersburg to plead
the cause of Poland. to make known
the attitude of that country toward the
government and 10 restore tranquility,
issued a manifesto. today. to the Rus
sian people, reviewing the sad history
of Poland in the last century, declaring
that the Poles have no thought of. sep
aration or of independence and asking
the support of all parties in Russia.
The manifesto firmly declares that
the normal and beaeefth existence of
Poland will only be made possible by
the granting of autonomy, permission
to use the Polish language in the
schools and in the courts and by the
local administration and the entrusting
of the Poles with the government of
the kingdom. The assertions made in
a government communication regard
ing the causes which led to the derla-
ration of martial law in Poland are
categoricalIy denied. 1t is insisted that
the country is not in d state of revo-
luton and that the acts of violence
which formed the pretext for the i'm
position of martial law, were not the
acts Of the Polish people as \ whole
but of the same elements which We're

141,ooo BARRELS OF POTATOES
Held by Dealers in Presque Isle
Eclipse's All Previous Records.

Presque ISLE Me-, Nov. 2O.-There ie
larger amount of potatoes now being
held by dealers in Presque Isle than
at any time during the history of the
potato business. This is due largely tn
the shortage of cars, but somewhat to
the fact that fall hauling has been nm
usually good this season and farmers
have been hauling rapidly, the price
being good. The Commercial man
made a canvass of the dealers and
finds the following to be the amoi,pt
held:
+. S. Cary, 1000 barrels.
Whdden & Jameson, 5000 barrels.
Carter & Corey. 10000 barrels.
+. ". prcntiSS Co, $4,000 barrels
Robinson Co, 10000 barrels.
A. NJ. Smith, 1000 barrels.
M. e c. Hicks, 1900 barrels.
Chas. Melville, 5000 barrels.
! Barker < Gerow. 1900 barrels.
!, Black & Hone. 1000 barrels.
! Parsons & Donaldson. $500 barrels
l.. S. Bean, 1000 barrels.
F.. f. Parkhurst, 2700 barrels.
Total, 1i1 100 barrels.
Besides the potatoes held in the deal
ers' houses, there are thousands of bar
rels stored in private cellars in this viii
lage. Dealers are resting easy, how
ever, as the market is expected to rise
rather than fail. During the month of
October. 937.167 bushels of POTATOES
were shipped over the Il. 4 A.. making
1,6A1,5S7 bushels of the crop Of 1905.
which exceeds last years shipments
during the same time by 251 ,222 BUSH
els. The shortage of cars, for Iiuint.
purposes. is quite serious matter for
dealers, but it is hoped that the open-
ing of the Stockton Springs branch VIII
help the situation. Several shipments
have already been made from Prcsquc
Isle.
