Lamberton, Mimi, Aug. 6.-Much rain
has fallen in this county, but the only
grain which has been damaged is oats.
This is a heavy crop and once down
it is hard to cut. However, practically
all the crop will be saved.

PROJECT TO UNITE EUROPE AND
UNITED STATES BY RAIL
Russia FavOrs Plan and Company
Offers to Build Road for Ger
tain Grants.

ST Petersburg, Marh ia more
favorable attitude is being taken here
toward the dazzling scheme for a tun-
mel under Bering strait and all rail
route from the United States to Eu-
rope. Baron LOicq De LObel, repre-
seuting the American Transmission
Siberian company, is again pressing
the project vigorously, and has made
considerable progress toward secur-
ing q desired concession from Russia
A distinct party Of the government
which has the sympathy Of Premier
Witte, earnestly fayOrs closer com
mercia1 relations between the United
States and Russia and this project
appears to il, not only as a method
for accomplishing this end, but for
developing the resources OF Siberia
The company, which believes the
Siberian side is as rich in gold as the
Alaskan side. offers to construct the
tunnel and build a road 5000 miles
in length from East Cape to Ransk
in the government Of YeniseisS, where
il will join the Siberian railway, on
condition that alternate sections Of
eight miles on either side OF the line,
together with the mining concessions
covered, be granted the company.
Reports concerning the engineering
sif1cUIties and the financial response
biIity OF the promoters, etc, have been
submitted and were generally favor
ably received BY the ministers
Emperor Nicholas has created a
mixed commission before which
Baron De LObel viii make a final
argument, March Is, and ask for
eighteen months in which to COM
plete arrangements and ten years to
finish the road. Should Russia, for
strategic reasons, ask that the road,
instead Of following the Lena river,
go directly eastward from Kansk to
the point whence connection will be
made with KhabarOska, involving a
detOur OF 1900 miles, the company is
willing to accept this on condition
that American materials be admitted
free
Generally speaking, the activity of
Americans in seeking to secure con-
cessiOns has aroused the ire Of the
radical papers, which see therein an
attempt on the part Of the old bu-
reaucracy to sell Russia to foreigners
on the eve Of the cOnvOcatiOn Of the

While the minister-beIIs were ring

All the birds-they went to singing
In 2 wild. tumultOus chorus on her

Came buzzing down the velvet aisles

They left their native bowers
And sought honey in the flowers

And they fed the scene afrighted,
And fans and other weapons did they

u Dead Issue. AnY,rav.

A Kansas City lawyer named James
Garner told of a strange experience
he had in the sound money campaign
Of 1896.
We were billed TO speak, he said,
in a small town in northern Missouri,
but when we arrived we found that
the only hall in town had been filed
with apple barrels by the free silver
democrats to prevent Us holding a
meeting.
But we rUstled around and finally
secured a stOrerOOm, and held the
meeting there. was the first speak
er, and when arose laid my manu-
script upon a box in front Of me and
saw that it was a coffin
The discovery so disconnected me
that for a few seconds I could only
stand and stare at the coffin A free
silver democrat saw the cause Of my
embarrassment and made it worse BY
shouting:
''Oh, that's all right, Garner. Go
ahead on a dead issue, anyway -

A PREACHER AND AN OUTLAW.

From The COmmOner-
When asked the whereabouts OF his
elusive parishOneF, DR.. Charles A
Eaton, said
Honestly, I don't know; I haven't
the slightest idea If knew I would
tell you"
Then Dr. Eaton chuckIed-
-''Cutest thing Rockefeller ever did, -
he said The whole things a farce
anyway. saw Rockefeller last No
vember, just before he began to be
50 badly wanted. Then-prOOf! And
ali the cunningest process servers,
shrewdest detectives and smaTtest re-
pOrters in the country can't find the
richest and most conspicuous man in
the world"
Not for the world would we detract
from the great credit due John D
Rockefeller BY reason Of his success
ful fight from the officers OF the
'aw II is very cute" indeed But
with all due respect for Mr.. Rookie
feIler's pastor, we deny that It is the
'-cutest thing Rockefeller ever did g"
The skill with which he has avoided
the process servers is insignificant
compared with other accomplish
ments. He built up a business institu-
ton which came to be the greatest
commercial concern in the world He
did this through special favOrs obtain
ed within the law and without the
law; he did It by the destruction Of
the property and fortunes OF rivals, by
corruption Of public officials, and by
tramping under foot every law Of God
and committing nearly every crime
written in the statute books Of man.
Through the system Rockefeller has
built up, the spirits of strong men
have been broken and the hopes Of
women and children have been crush
ed. Out Of the millions he has taken
from the pockets Of the people he has
contributed a comparatively insight
fcant sum OF money to the erection
and support of colleges and to the
furtherance Of the work of foreign
missions; and although in the light of
his foul record none should be so
poor to do him reverence, there are
preachers and teachers all over the
country who lose no opportunity to
pay him tribute.
Even at this monument he occupies
practically, the position Of an outlaw;
and the pastor Of his church declares
that the successful fight he has made
from the officers Of the law is the
cutest thing Rockefeller ever did"
It is we'll for this great government
of ours that the mass OF the people
have a higher conception OF morality
than is shown by the preachers and
educators who have rushed to the
defense Of the notorious fugitive.
There would be small hope for the
future of popular government, small
hope for the rising generation, if men
and women generally looked as light
" upon methods Of the Rockefeller
order as do some Of the eminent
gentlemen who see virtue where 9TH

CLIMATE AND FORESTS.

Depletion OF Forests Brings DFOUth;
and Tree Culture, Moisture.
In an address delivered before the
German Meteorological society at Ber-
lin, Dr.. Hennig spoke OF the influence
of forests upon climate, and he called
attention TO a number OF cOincidents
where the depletion Of forests appears
to have been attended by dryer cOndi-
lions. According to Consul General
Gunther OF Frankfort, who has sum
married. the address for the Consular
Reports, DR.. Hennig said that the
climate Of Greece, where today only
Is per cent Of the area is covered with
forests, has become drier- An increase
Of temperature and decrease Of rain
are noted, as compared with ancient
times. This is especially noteworthy
in Attica, which was thickly covered
with forests about 5000 years ago,
and where hardly any rain now falls;
while the heat in the open air attains
a degree Of intensity that would make
the indulgence in athletic sports once
famous, now almost an impOSsibility-
Similar conditions exist in the pen
insula Of Sinai, where thousands Of
years ago the people Of Israel found a
luxuriant and fertile country, though
today it is a desert Palmyra, also
once a hOurishing oasis in the Syrian
desert, presents today only a waste Of
stones and ruins. In Mexico, where
the SpaniarCis cut down the forests in
the mountains, drOughts changing to
devastating foods are now noticeable
especially in the neighbOrhOOd Of the
City Of Mexico. In Algeria where,
since the middle Of the last century,
the forests have been cut down on a
large scale, dry weather has increas-
ed; and in Venezuela the level Of
Lake Tacarigua, to which Alexander
Won Humboldt drew attention, has been
lowered in consequence, it is said, OF

LIGHTNING STRIKES ATHENA
Three Residences Badly Wrecked
and Two People Injured.
INHABITANTS were TERROR STRICKEN
HEAVY CLOUD SETTLED OVER
TOWN AND HEAVENLY BOM-
BARDMENT COMMENCED.

During a sharp thunderstorm at
Athena late Thursday evening light
ming struck the homes Of o. w. Zerba,
A. J. Willaby and S. Dudley. The
bolt that struck the Zerba residence
knocked Mr. and Mrs. Zerba sense
less and set fire to the house. Neigh
bors, although terrified at the terrific
violence of the storm, rescued the
Zerbas from the burning house. and
extinguished the flames before they
had gainedheadway.
Old time Athena residents say
Thursday nights storm was the worst
ever occurring in that section of UNA
tilla county. A black cloud came up
rapidly from the west and seemed to
settle over the town. Sharp flashes of
lightning shot from the cloud and
every flash seemed to be directed at
the town. The crash of thunder that
followed each flash was terrifying and
the terror stricken inhabitants sought
their homes. The Dudley house was
the first one struck The bolt tore
through the roof, ripping off the wall
paper in several rooms, but did not
enter the living room where the fam
lily was huddled in fear.
At the Willaby home the bolt pass
ed through two rooms and out on
porch, badly damaging the house but
failing to injure any of the occupants.
The bolt that struck the Zerba house
was the most violent and rendered Mr..
and Mrs. Zerba unconscious for a
faw minutes The residence took fire
but the flames were quickly extin-
guished and the half dazed occupants
rescued by neighbors. The terrific
shocks were felt at PendletOn nearly
Is miles away.

FARMERS TO HOLD MEETING
TiNerS Of Soil Will Assemble at
Pullman in June.
TO DISCUSS AGRICULTURAL QUESTIONS
EXPECTED THAT SECRETARY OF
AGRICULTURE WILSON WILL
BE IN ATTENDANCE.
TO DISCUSS AGRICULTURAL QUESTIONS

To acquaint the farmers of the state
with the different phases of farming
carried on in the experimental station
at Pullman, a farmers meeting has
been called for June and 9, at which
time there will be lectures by prOmi-
nent speakers. 1t is possible that
James Wilson, secretary of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington. D..
c., will be present, as well as Profess
sor w. j. Spillman, agriculturist at the
department. The railroad and steam
ship companies in the state have all
announced special rates to farmers de
string to be in attendance.
1t is planned by the committee in
charge to have ten men from each
county in the state selected by the
college authorities. They will be in
attendance at all sessions. The idea
of a farmers meeting to discuss the
different farming was first suggested
by the railroad companies, and ar
engagements have now been completed
to have the lectures at the college the
first week in June.
H. l.. Blanchard. of Hadlock, who is
chairman of the committee having in
charge the arrangements for the meet
ing, was in the city yesterday in COM
pany with S. B. Nelson, veterinarian at
the Pullman college; d. S. Troy, of
Port Townsend. president of the State
