Portland, Me-, Jan. 1a.-Officials at the government wireless telegraph station at Cape Elizabeth, announced today that they were in communica- tien with one of the tugs accompany ing the dry dock Dewey, at 7:335 O. clock last Monday night.

 The officials say that this breaks all records for long-disaance wire less telegraph in this country, the best previous showing having been the receipt of a message at Colon, Panama, from a distance of 2,600 niles.

HAM BURG HEALTH
Only 12 Deaths in a Year Out of Popu-
 lation of 1900.

Hamburg, Jan. 19-Dr w. E. East CT, president of the Ashley county board of health, sent yesterday to the marine hosp tai census bureau at Washington, D. C., at the request of that office, the following mortuary re- port for the incorporated town of Hamburg:
 One death, old age; one death, can cer; two deaths, nephritis; two deaths, dysentery; two deaths, la grippe; one death, tuberculosis; one death. accidental poisoning; one death, remittent fever; one death, ty- phoid fever, making total of all deaths for the year 1905 of twelve, out of town of 1900 population. It will be thus seen that the ratio was little above six for each thousand inhabitants-a wonderful demonstra- ton of the healthfulness of the town. The table only purports to give the statistics from the town, but that of the county would doubtless show al. most as geod a record for healthful- ness and place Ashley county way up at the top of the list in this re- spect. Hamburg has always been noted for it's splendid mortuary rec ord, and the census report will doubt less encourage many homeseekers to look to this, the garden spot of the southwest.

LITTLE MONEY
For Improvement of Arkansas River,
 Says MT. Reid

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-There is Iit- tie chance of large appropriation be. ing made in congress for the improve ment of the Arkansas river in the in- mediate future, in the opinion of Congressman Charles C. Reid of this district, who recently introduced in congress a bill providing for an ap- propriation of s2o,0o0,0o0 for the per manent improvement of the water way.
 The expense attached 10 the con- struction of the Panama canal. toeeth- ei with the enormous cost of main. taining the army and navy and the Philippines, MT. Reid declares. will make it impossible to make any sub stantial improvements in any of the rivers of the country, without making large deficit.
 MT. Reid is of the opinion, however, that if the plans adopted by the river and harbor convention which was re- gently held in Washington are follow ed, Arkansas will secure her share of whatever appropriations are made, and that this will aid materially in the improvement of the Arkansas river.
 These views are expressed by MT. Reid in letter received yesterday by Secretary Brown of the board of trade

EVADlNG TAXES
Cotton Belt Seeks to Enjon the
 City.

The St. Louis Southwestern railway company has asked for an order from the court restraining Sheriff James Gould from collecting taxes assessed against that corporation for the year 1905.
 The petition of the plaintiffs states that the assessments against the cor poration for the year 1905, in Jeffer- son county, were $50,000, on which the taxes amounted to $s25, which must be paid by April 10, and seeks an order restraining the collector from collecting it, charging that the tax IS illegal.
