Battle with moonshiners.

Ashyille, n. C.-In a pitched battle
in Piedmont, ten miles from this city,
revenue officers routed 200 moonshin-
ers, who were encouraged in the bat
tie by their wives and daughters. Ten
Of the moonshiners were killed and
thirty taken prisoners, with several
women and a half dozen children.
-Four thounsand gallons Of whiskey
were seized.
The revenue army was led by ].
Will Roberts. He received informa-
tion that the moonshiners had gath
cred for the wholesale running of
mountain dew" and that the. noun
taineers were in force. Roberts gath
cred men from dozen points and led
them for the mountain early Monday
night. The moonshiners were en-
trenched. Under cover of darkness
Roberts led his men by a circuitous
route up the mountain until he was
above the mountaineers. At dawn he
sent man under cover of a white
flag demanding surrender, but the
monshiners fired on the messenger.
The battle was at once opened, and
from the first went against the moon
sinners. They were bewildered by the
heavy fire directed against them, be-
lieving that they had no more than a
small squad of revenue men to deal
with.
AT the sound of the firing the wo-
men and children came fiocking from
cabins all over the mouptainside. and
the women were insistent that the po-
sition be held. 1t became untenable
after an hours hard fighting, and the
main body of the mountainers. COM
prising 100 men, succeeded in a quick
retreat.
Five OF the revenue officers were
wounded, but none was killed. In all
fifteen wounded were carried TO this
city and are now in the hospital

CONVENTION BEARS FRUIT.
Secretary Garfield Visits Grand juno.
ton and Starts Ball.

Grand Junction, Colo.-One Of the
results Of the visit of Secre-
retary of the Interior GARFIELD
TO Colorado viii be the build
ing by the United States reclamation
service of the great High Line ditch,
at a cost of between 100000 and
100000 The building of this ditch
means the reclamation of Isl, ,00g
acres Of land, which viii be made
highly productive agricnlturally and
horticulturally and provide homes and
sustenance for at least 10000 people.
Work upon this vast and important
national irrigation project viii prob
ably begin within the next twelve
months The proposed ditch viii ex-
tend TO cross the Utah line, and all
land that will be watered by it is trib-
tutary TO Grand Junction.
State Senator D. T. Long of Mesa
county, who was a delegate TO the re-
cent land convention at Denver, is re-
sponsible for the announcement II
was he who induced Secretary Gar
field to change his itinerary and stop
over at Grand Junction long enough
for himself and party TO go over the
line Of the proposed ditch and inspect
the land that would be reclaimed by il.
Secretary Garfield explained to the
local committee that the principal diff
ficulty was one of finance, as there
was not now in the reclamation fund
available for expenditure in Colorado,
enough money TO undertake this prop
osition and carry it along for ten
years. This was met by the PROPOSE
ton that Grand Junction would help
the government in the matter. The
tentative proposition now under con-
sideration is that the government
shall begin the work and carry il
through, while Grand junction capi-
talists shall arrange plan by which
the installments remaining due from
settlers after three years shall be
funded and the government paid up in
full.
The ditch, as planned will take
water from the Grand river above Pal
isade, will swing along the base of the
hills north of Grand Junction, extend
ing across the Colorado-Utah line.
1t is estimated that the canal, lat
erals, headgate, bridge across the
river and other improvements will
cost somewhere between $4,000, 900
and 100000. The land reclaimed
will accommodate population of not
less than 10000 people and carrying
through the project will treble the
population of Grand Junction within
three years.

ELECTRIC Line to Merrison.

Denver.-An electric railway will be

announcement is made that enough
money TO build the line has been
promised Mr.. Walker has already Sc
cured franchise and right of way

The Detyer City Tramway officials

line from Golden to Morrison If this
is done the two electric roads will no
oOrbt have traffic agreements, and ex-
cursions through Morrison and Golden
will be run by the Denver City Tram
way Company.

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company.
.hosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge Of
the company's affairs and has begun
The work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers c.
he company. the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance com
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
aas been in the company's service in a
Fariety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
,f life insurance, he began with the
rate book and has advanced step by
Ttep up to his present position.
The first vice president of the csm-
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
ferved the company for more than
quarter of a century,-indeed has
neyer had any other business connec-
ion.
Associated with these men are
pthers long trained in the company's
ttA fANNg Ea(l Gil CAPEAl III LIE On IL A-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
sf the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
dents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
Fears, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
ictuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had 50 000. 900 900 insurance on
Its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began. and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50 100000 a year (Which is about
Dne-half the New York Life formerly
uid), the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds $1,000 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
turther reassured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception-
ible character.

Iniurx from Mosaultoes,

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club. golf, tennis and other attrac-
tions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
DR. singing pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my Office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk of
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year

Viewing The South Pole.

Boston, Mass.-Percival Lowell, di-
rector OF the great observatory at
Flagstaff, Arizona, has detailed some
of the results of his observations of
Mars made this month.
This year there has been opportun-
ity to view the south pole of that
planet and in so doing some confirma-
ton has been secured of what was
seen fourteen years ago when that
part of Mars was last under view. AS
with the earth, the snow cap of the
south pole is much larger than that
of the north pole, and the melting OF
this has now been seen under excel
lent conditions. Mr.. Lowell has been
able to view particularly well the phe
nomena of the melting of the southern
polar cap.
The cap at first observation was
enormous in extent, covering an arc
on the planets surface of more than
100 degrees. At the second presen;a.
tion this cap had diminished greatly.
and at its base were certain appear
ances that seem to bear out Mr.. Low
ellis idea of vegetation The first pre-.
sentation of large area adjoining the
polar cap showed this to be dark
bank lying between the SHOWS and the
continental areas.
1t was a curious appearance at first,
because these intermediate areas were
supposed to be light ones and had
been already defiaed and given names
as seas and islands.
At the second presentation of this
region, the dark color had diminished
and there were symptoms of dark
lines, separating lighter spots. AS the
same area came in rotation for the
third time to the observer at the tele.
scope, the light islands were distinct
as they had been noted in chartings
of Mars, and they were divided as
they should be by darker lines.
A second important observation has
been the connection of certain of the
known canals with bays which
formed along the polar cap as il
melted. There was for a while nc
such connection to be seen and il
might have been assumed that the ca.
mails observed were not connected
with the south at all, but rather with
the north pole. across the equator. but
here at last was the evidence of an
actual physical connection with the
pole which was at the time in a melt
ing condition. This phenomenon, al
though before observed in the north
has been seen for the first time at the
| time at the southern pole.
