Ceylon a Rubber Producer.

PERADENIYA, CEYLON, Sept. 10
The rubber exhibition under the aus
pices of the Ceylon government opened
today at the Royal Botanical gardens
in this city. 1t is remarkably COM
plete and interesting and will continue
until September 81. The position was
arranged principally for the reason to
call the attention of the world to the
fact that CeylOn and the Federated
Malay states have become rubber pro-
ducers and are ready to enter into
competition with other rubber produc-
ing countries The rubber industry is
of comparatively recent date in Ceylon
The people of Ceylon do not depend
upon the product of wild growing rub
Der trees, but grow the trees on planta-
lions, devoting considerable care to the
cultivation of the trees and the pro-
duction Of superior rubber. 1t is stated
that the Ceylon rubber is fully equal
if not superior to the Para rubber of
Brazil.

THIS PUMPKIN A STRONG ONE
Develops Lifting Strength Of 500
Pounds While Growing.
an IOWA FARMER EXPERIMENTS
SATISFIES HIMSELF AS TO POWER
DISPLAYED BY GROWING
VEGETATION.
an iowa FARMER EXPERIMENTS

LAKE CITY Ia.,Sept. 13,-Jesse
Fairchild, Calhoun county farmer. of
a scientific turn of mind, this summer
tried an interesting experiment to test
the power displayed by growing vege-
tation.
To make the test he selected a COM
mon field pumpkin which was growing
near his lawn. He first erected a
plank platform beneath the pumpkin
and enclosed the pumpkin in a box
made of two-inch plank, just large
enough to admit the pumpkin inside.
There were crooks left in the box,
which was fastened to the plank plat
form, for the admission of air and sun
light. The top of the box was not
nailed down.
In a week the pumpkin had become
very cramped in its quarters, appar-
emily filling every corner of the stout
box. The top was also beginning to
raise slightly above the box.
Fairchild was now ready to begin
the experiment. He carefully weighed
out 100 pounds of sand and placed
it in a box, which he set on top of the
pumpkin. The pumpkin, having filled
the recesses Of the tight box, immedi-
ately began to grow the only way it
could, upward. In a few days the hum
dred weight of sand was raised one
inch, thus making it possible to esti-
mate the horsepower Of the growing
vegetable.
To test further the power of strength
Fairchild placed a 5O0-pound weight
on the lid over the pumpkin. The
pumpkin never stopped growing, but
the experimental did not take into con-
sideration the frail box in comparison
with the great weight of the pumpkin
The vegetable instead OF growing up
ward set out at once to burst the
crate, which it did in two days. The
box was a strong affair, being spiked
and of two-inch plank That the pump
kin will lift the 5OO-pound weight there
is no doubt.

ROAST FOR ENG|NEER THOMSON
Pulling Down Good Coin on
the Side.

While City Engineer Thomson has
Seattle-a larger salary than any other
public official in King county receives
he has not only been devoting his
time to trips to Walla Walla, but has
also been wasting hours that should
belong to the people who pay him
salary by doing office work for Walla
Walla, declares the Seattle Times.
Not only has Thomson utilized the
citys time so far as he is concerned,
but he has been using the city's stem
ographers burning city lights. and US
ing city desk room with which to ac-
cumulate money for himself from WAL
la Walla.
Thomson spent fifteen days in Walla
Walla and charged $25 a day, or 1915,
while he was here-at s25 a day-he
drew from Seattle's treasury $20S.3S.
How much time the city paid him for
when he was doing office work here for
Walla Walla nobody knows. He charg-
ed Walla Walla this item, however, for
this class of work: "Office study and
determination, estimates of cost and
report of a proper gravity system for
City of Walla Walla, $780," The total
Of Thomson's bill to Walla Walla is
s1,O35.15, segregated in the following
items of daily expense.
July 10, 1904, wire, railroad fare,
Pullman sleeper and supper, $3.50;
July 20, breakfast, lunch and supper,
$3.50; July 25 and 26, Hotel Dacres,
fare and Pullman and meals, $22.75;
November q and 20, telegram, fare,
Pullman and meals, $12.35; March "a,
fare Pullman meals and hotel, $149O;
April 2-11, wire, telephone, fare, Pull
man and meals, $14.55; April II, hotel,
return fare. Pullman and meals, $15.40;
September IS, fare Pullman and meals,
wires. s14.O5; September q, hotel, Pull
man, meals. fare $3.50.
Probably a large majority of the peo-
ple of Seattle cannot quite understand
how it is exactly honest for the city
engineer. when his office is swanped
with work, to eliminate responsibilities
in Seattle and devote his attention to
Walla Walla.

R0CKEFElLER'S BODY GUARD
Night and Day Oil King Is Under

FIVE DETECTIVES NOW WATCH HIM

CLEVELAND, Sept i3-Night and

Teller is closely watched over by
bodyguard. This secret service of the
worlds richest man sometimes in his

Cleveland this summer it consisted of
about five men. Rockefeller feels pos

Plan of Company.
1t seems that the plan of this COM
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Develop
ment Co., of Montana which this
concern has established with consid-
cradle work done at this time, placing
10000 shares of treasury stock Of the
Montana company on sale here and
the amount derived from such sales
to be expended for the development Of
the Walla Walla enterprises, the
present and future owners of the
Montana stock to participate in the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those who
take stock in the Walla Walla Or
home company to participate in the
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very fair
way to place this stock before the
people of this vicinity as a lucky
strike of either oil or gas in either
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
With no desire to dictate to the
people of Walla Walla as to what
they should or should not do, it oc-
ours to this committee that inasmuch
as it is more than likely that we are
located above millions of gallons of
oil that it is good business to aid in
every way to push this thing along.

they furnish mail clerks and the mail.
For the past six months n steel car
