Whole Crew May be Lost

Victoria, Sept. "A dispatch from Saskatoon states that the schooner Dutchess of Bedford has been sighted off Herschel Island filled with water and in sinking condition. Capt. Mikkelsen and his crew deserted her last February taking with them provisions for sixty days, since which time noth- ing has been beard from them. There are grave fears for their safety.
 Seattle, Sept. 9-The steamer Santa Barbara bound to Val1ez struck rock yesterday in the Straits of Georgia, and punched a hold in hey port bow. and later was beached. The steamer Dolphin south bound from Skagwav sighted the distress signals and went to the assistance of the disabled craft. Later the Str. Victoria carving divers and wrecking apparatus was sent to the scene of the disas- ter from thls port. There were thirty passengers on the Santa Barbara all of whom are safe and sound. Another steamer will be rushed up to transfer the cargo and passengers and proceed to Valdez. The Portland which sails tomorrow will carry every pound of freight which she will hold.
 Seattle, Sept. 9-3 p. m.-The wreckers have reached the Santa Barbara, and report that the yes. sel and her cargo, which consists principally Of railroad supplies, can be saved without trouble. She will be lowed this afternoon o Vic toria. where the necessary repairs will be made, which, it is estimated, will take about week. The pas sengers, who were principally bridge carpenters for the Alaska Home railway, have been landed.
 Topeka, Sept. 9-The breweries have quit their fight to remain Ill the State, and are making all pre- parations to leave.

Inventive genius seldom achieves
success at the first attempt A half
grown boy in Pennsylvania, who had
devoted his leisure hours for many
months to the making of a milking ma
chine of his own devising, at last COM
pleted it to his satisfaction and re-
solved to make a trial of it. Without
saying word to any one he carried
his machine down from the attic,
where he had wrought patiently day
after day to bring it to perfection, and
took it out to the barnyard, where old
Cherry, the family COW, stood placidly
chewing her cud, with her big. lusty
calf playing round her.
A few minutes later his mother saw
him trying to re-enter the house un-
seen. He was covered with dirt from
head to foot and in state of democrat
ization generally. In his hand he was
carrying something that looked like
the wreck of toy battleship.
"For mercy's sake, judi" she ex-
claimed, what have you been doing?''

chine on the cow" he said.

An old salt who navigates a bicycle

that he was sincerely sorry.

His ExcelIency the Turkey.

As early as 1541 the turkey was
cIassed among the dainties in England
The wild turkey of North America has
been used mainly as the foundation
from which size and vigor in our do
nestle stock have been gained The
bronze holds the post of honor and
probably originated from a cross be-
tween the wild and the tame turkey
Its beautiful plumage and size come
from its wild progenitor To maintain
these desirable qualities crosses are
continually made The standard
weight is from sixteen to thirty-sfx
pounds, according to age and sex.
In point of production the bronze ex-
ceeds all others. The coloring is a
ground of black blazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing. and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished STEEL While the female
has the same color, it is not so rich
as that of the male. Much of this rich
ness of color is lost through inbreed-
ing. On the other hand, it is improved
by each cross with the wild birds.
