NOW QUIET At JOLO
TROOPS RETURN TO MANILA
AFTER MOUNT DAJO BATTLE.
FiIipinos Are Reported Satisfied That
Outlaws Are nated-Native
Women and Children Mingled With
Warriors and Were Killed in On
slaught.

Manila.-All of the men who were
wounded in the recent fight with the
Moros at Mount Dajo are reported to
be in favorable condition.
Six of the organizations OF the
troops which came from Mindanao are
either en- route home or have been or
dered to return to their headquarters.
Jolo is quiet, and the sultan and ma
tive heaamen have reported that gen
eral satisfaction is being expressed
over the determination of the outlaws.
General Bliss made a reconnais-
sance toward Mount Dajo during the
week previous to the attack of the
American force upon the Moro strong
hold there, but it had no effect upon
the hostile attitude of the outlaws.
An unofficial report says that the fam
lilies of the Moros remaining in the
villege, located in the center of the
crater at the apex of the mountain,
and the women and children mingled
with the warriors during the battle to
such an extent that it was impossible
to discriminate, and all were killed in
IA1S hCACS onslaught NCACAdA WOOu
is not available at present to confirm
this report.
Constabulary detachments are now
engaged in the mountains of northern
Luzon rounding up the bands of saw
ages and head hunters who are on the
warpath.
Americans are now arriving at Fam
boanga from Jolo. The consensus
of their opinions is that the whole
trouble was due to the fact that the
governor, Major Hugh Scott, permitted
the outlaws to fortify themselves with
in sight of the city of Jolo. The mill
tary authorities have refused since
Thursday to give any information to
the press.
Associated Press kilograms from
Zamboanga say that the attack on
Mount Dajo began on Monday There
were four days of hard fighting, dur
ing which it is estimated that 900 per-
sons were killed or injured.

FARMERS UNION.
viii Sell Al Their Products BY Their
AGENT

Will Sell Al Their Products BY Their
Agent.
The fruit growers and vegetable pro-
ducers of Spokane county have effect
ed an organization.
A resolution was passed that the
Spokane County association be formed
along the lines of that in Puyallup and
that the fruit growers and vegetable
producers form a union as a central
body, which is to act as agent for the
county, and none of the members are
to sell any of the produce except
through the union.
The proposition is to have a gen
eral distributing agency and all the
fruit growers and vegetable producers
are to have stock in this central body.
Each man, whether he owns 10 shares
or one share, will have but one vote in
the union.
A competent man is to be secured to
sell the produce and the producers are
not to sell it except through him. This
agent is to be in the direct employ
ment of the union and to see that the
markets are supplied in the most econ
omic manner, and that the products of
the county are placed where they will
bring the best price, controlling the
output so there will be a demand for
the products.

THE RAILROAD COMPANY

Carload OF Horses Buried
Near Mondalniil.

Sixteen hundred dollars is
the price the Northwestern
railway paid NJ. L. Marks of
this city for the loss of a car of
horses. The terms of settle
ment have just been agreed
upon, the cash paid over, and
the suit pending in the district
court will be dismissed.
Marks was shipping sixteen
horses from Onawa to Council
Bluffs in a box car. They were
sidetracked at Mondamin,
where a spark from an engine,
it is supposed, set the roof of
the car on fire and the car and
all it's contents were destroyed.
Marks sued the company for
5000 damages, but before the
case came to a trial it was
compromised. -Nonpareil.

The Chautauqna Closes.

The most successful chau-
tauqua ever held at Missouri
Valley was the one held there
this year which closed Sunday
evening with the "Passion
Play" by Rev. Frank e. James.
We understand that the chau-
tauqua association came cut
financially ahead. The rain
interfered with the attendance
for only one day and that was
the Prof. Holden day, Satur-
day. The farmers near Mis-
souri, Valley took a very active
part in making the chautauqua
a rousing success. 1t also met
with a strong pull from the
farmers clubs. The Missouri
Valley people can have no fault
to find with the cooperation of
the Logan people, as hundreds
of them attended, and by the
way, they got their moneys
worth too. Logan Gazette.

many others: "He has achieved
success who has lived we'll,

task; who has left the world
better than he found it, wheth-

How to Grow skeets.

If you are partial to mos
quitoes and desire to raise a
nice drove of large skin punct-
uring ones just leave an old
tomato can filled with water
out in your back yard. In
three weeks you will have a
cute little family of 1000. If
you wish to go into mosquito
raising on a large scale, see
that two or three rain water
barrels are left filled near the
house, have two or three pud-
dies near by and let the drain
age from the refrigerator ac-
cumulate, and inside of a month
you will have a flock of mos
quitoes large enough to drive
the fellow off the back porch.
On the other hand, if you have
no particular liking for the in
sect's gentle buzz saw voice, or
the clinching argument he
|offers in behalf of his friend
ship, just see that there is no
stagnant water of any kind
around the house.

Letter From George Smiley.

Letter From George Smiley.
On board Corwin, en- route to-
Nome, Alaska, July 10, 1906.
My Dear Folks: Navigation
opened in the Arctic July 9Th,
when the Corwin arrived at
Kiwalik, locally called The
Spit, after showing her nose
through the ice for five days.
The ice is practically gone now,
though, as we have been having
southerly winds for about a
week. We ran through ice
about three or four hours yes
terday, but have seen none to-
day. We are nearing Cape
Prince Wales and will probably
pass through Behring Strait
tonight and reach Tin City to-
morrow morning, arriving at
Nome the day after tomorrow,
making US five days out from
Kiwalik. We have had smooth
weather so far. Yesterday it
was warm on deck but today it
is drilling rain and uncom-
fortably cold.
We had a very cold winter
last winter, the coolest known
for some years, the temperature
being 40 to 65 F. below zero
most of the time. l reached
Kiwalik October 9TH last fall,
and we did not have thawing
weather until May. The river
broke up about May 25th but
there has been ice on the coast
up till the last few days. They
started sluicing on Candle creek
on June 10th, but it froze again
and thawed and froze, so the
snow went gradually and the
miners did not get the full
benefit of the water for sluic-
ing, consequently the dumps
are about one half cleaned up.
The rest will have to wait for
the fall rains. The weather
was so cold last winter that it
drove the polar bears south.
Natives killed about 1875 on this
coast that were reported at the
missions. We had some very
warm weather the latter part
of June-warm enough to per-
spire freely when walking up
hill or when working. Need
less to say, l did not take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
get up a sweat, but sat in the
sun and enjoyed it.
l went down to the Spit July
End to wait for the boat to
come in and to celebrate the
Fourth. Many did this by
means of strong drink and
gambling; others walked up
and down the Spit and enjoyed
the sunshine. We had a phon-
ograph and some singing. Mrs.
Noyes supplied all with small
silk flags and red, white and
blue ribbon. All Candle and
many from the Kugruk river
were at the Spit. Grub had
been very scarce in camp-only
ham, bacon, and evaporated
potatoes, fruit and flour left,
but the day before five reindeer
came in from the mission at
Cape Blossom and we had
fresh meat. A month ago,
geese and duck were plentiful,
but now are scarce and those
killed had a fishy taste. We
also received some duck and
gull eggs from Chamisso Island
in time for the Fourth. Some
of the miners picked their way
through fifteen miles of float
ing ice from the Spit to the
island and safely back again.
