Kansas City Star. 1t was while Kan
sas was territory and while the mis-
sionaries were laboring among the In
dams in Wyandotte and johnson Coun-
ties. The first lodge was known as
Wyandotte Lodge No. 3, and is still In
existence. Leavenwcrth and Smithton
lodges, instituted few days after the
Wyandotte lodge, were known as No.
1 and No. 2.
In 1854 little band of Masons in
old Wyandotte decided they must have
charter and organize lodge. White
settlers were ficcking into the border
towns and the territory was beginning
to take on civilized ways. One of the
little band Of Masons was sent on
horseback to Bonneville, Mo-, to get
the dlspensation issued for the new
lodge by the Grand Lodge of Missouri.
When the man on horseback crossed
the line into Kansas on his return with
the charter for the first lodge the first
standard of Masonry was planted in
that State.
The first communication of Mason
lie lodge in the old village Of Wyan-
dotte was held in the home of Mat
thew r. Walker, brother of William
Il. Walker, territorial governor of
Kansas. The lodgeroom was Mr.. Wal
ker's house, which occupied the site of
the George Fowler mansion In Fowler
park, which has been converted into the
Kansas City Baptist Theological Semi
nary. The first meeting was held Aug.
IL, 1854, and officers were installed
then. At the first meeting there were
not enough Masons present to fill the
offices a lodge is required to have or fill
the chairs" 1t became necessary to
call In woman to act as tyler and Mrs.
Matthew K. Walker was given the
place.

Fertility of Cuban Soil.

Cuban soil is so fertile that at the
present time the cane field is planted
only about once in ten years. Expert.
enced American growers say that there
is no necessity to plant more than once
IL care Is taken in cutting the cane at
harvest time not to pull up any OF
the roots, as the new cane will imme-
diately sprout from these. Ten tons
of cane produce one ton Of sugar II
treated by the latest mechanical proc
esses. A plantation of 1000 acres may
yield 5000 tons of sugar under fairly
favorable conditions.

SOUTHWEST AND NORTHWEST
Whore the Greatest Railroad Build
ing Is Now Going On,

Whore the Greatest Railroad Build
ing Is Now Going On.
The Southwest vies with the Cana
dian Northwest as a region of deyel-
opment. A quarter of the railroad
trackage laid in the entire country last
year was laid In the Southwest, says
the New York Tribune. Texas led with
7Ol miles of new crack, nearly an
eighth of the total of the country, and
Texas now leads the States In the coun-
try in railway mileage, Illinois having
been the leading State up to 1905. In
Louisiana S91 miles were laid In 1906.
The other Southwestern States and
Territories made great gains. Ipmi-
grafton thither Is extensive. b. f.
Ioakum Of the Rock Island Railway
says that 10000 immigrants to the
Southwest pass through St Louis week
ly, and other thousands enter by way
of Kansas City, Memphis and New Or
leans. He predicts that the census of
l9lo Will show growth In ten years
Of 90 per cent in the rural population
OF Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Tex
as, and 100 per cent In Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. These are desirable
immigrants, Americans, tillers of the
soil from the older States of the East
and Middle Vest, who prefer the at
fractions of the South to those across
| the border in Canada. The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat calls attention to the
fact that in 1900 the center OF the cot
ton crop was In western Mississippi
while now it Is probably west Of the
Mississippi River. Texas raised third
OF last years crop. The making Of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory into a
State has been, says the Globe Demo
crat, great advertisement for the
whole empire of the Southwest"
The Canadian Northwest Is also emil
tied to Its boast. There are fuel fam
Inc and a railroad congestion there, as
| there are south of the border. The
railroad building has not caught up
with the growing population. CORE
spondent Of the Toronto Globe writes .
"The plain truth is that the expan-
sion of the West has proceeded on a
scale more huge than even the most
advanced optimist had expected, and
all arrangements have fallen short of
the necessities. In the export cattle
trade alone there has been an Increase
of so per cent, the 10000 head of last
year having been increased this year to
10000. The growth of population has
meant an enormous increase In traffic
In supplies and In the handling OF set
tiers effects. Considerably over 1OO,-
600 people have come into the province
during the year from other lands, and
in addition many have moved from the
older sections Of Manitoba to the still
cheaper land in the western provinces"
Cities and towns have sprung up 50
rapidly and grown SO fast that those
having population Of more than 1000
each had total population in 1901 Of
82,710 and they have now a total Of
192,97S. The increased price Of agri-
cultural products Is sending people in
hundreds of thousands to the fertile
and only partly developed regions o.
the continent.

VAST IMPORT OF DIAMONDS.

One Billion Dollars of the Gems Now
Owned I'm This Country.
Upward of $43,00O,OOO has been paid
for diamonds and other precious stones
imported at New York in the year re-
Gently ended, as shown by figures CON-
piled by the customs authorities. This
total exceeds that of the last calendar
year by 100000 and that Of two
years ago by $17.O00,O0o In 1900 the
valuation was about one-quarter OF
what 1t Is this year, the greatest in the
history of the business. The record
imports were possible because of the
general prosperity.
Since 1868, when the first gem was
exported from the Cape of Good Hope,
the United States has paid about $685.
100000 for diamonds, or one-half the
amount which South Africa has obtain
ed for its entire supply or precious
stones the world over. The figures
represent what the importers pay and.
according to the trade, the public pays
| twice as much.
Taking into account that the value
of diamonds has been going up steadi-
ly, being now about 200 per cent higher
than eight years ago, some dealers say
that the gems brought into this coun,
try in the thirty-eight years must now
be worth more than $1,O0O,0Oo, 600
Nearly all the gems are in existence
as the percentage of loss is so small
as to be unimportant.
The diamond-cutting industry In
New York employs 500 men, who GU,
about 100000 worth Of gems this
year. An officer of the Diamond Manu-.
facturers' Association said yesterday
| that New York cuts as much of the
best grades Of rough stones as all the
rest of the world and the finished gems
turned out in this city in the larger
sizes are of higher average quality
than those cut in any other city.-New
| York Times.

YARNS ABOUT SANDY HOOK.
British Traveller Told 1t Is Iron and
Used to Tow In Steamers.

British Traveller Told 1t Is Iron and
Used to Tow In Steamers.
Some of the kindred spirits who gath
cred daily In the smoking rooms Of the
steamship Amerika on her voyage
which ended yesterday had fun with
an English captain of infantry who
served with distinction In the war in
South Africa. The Briton had never
before visited this country, but he had
evidently heard much of the wonders
to be found here and IL the stories told
by the arriving passengers are true
they found greater wonders for him
than even the usual newcomer hears.
When the vessel was nearing Sandy
Hook the Engllshman vas moved to in
quire what sort of place Sandy Hook
was and who lived there.
"Why, Sandy Hook isn't land" he
was told. Its merely the place where
the big hook comes out to meet incom-
Ing steamers"
This led the captain to ask other
questions. He was told that the latest
Yankee invention was hook for tow
ing big vessels into New York harbor.
1t was explained to him that big
hook was sent out on powerful tug
to grasp vessels and bring them into
port. For this reason the place where
the hook met steamers was called
Sandy Hook.
Remarkable said he.
The captains friends further de
clared with their hands on their hearts
that late on Saturday night, when the
Amerika was nearing the hook, the
captain went on deck and remained
there until nearly o'clock In the morn
ing, explaining that he did not wish to
miss the sight of the hook coming out
to meet the Amerika.
The captain had vanished before re-
porters could tell him what the other
| fellows were saying about him, but the
other fellows said that was his mod.
esty.-New York Times.

FLIGHT OF SEA-FOWL.


The flight of birds is adapted to their
manner Of seeking food or protection.
AS most sea-fowl have to remain a
long time on the wing, they manage to
keep up with the least possible muscu-
lar exertion. The observations of the
er's Life" will be Of interest to those
who study birds but do not have a
chance to watch them from the deck of
a ship in mid-ocean.
All the great ocean sea-birds, from
the little petrol to the giant wander
ing albatross, are soaring birds, never,
or but rarely, Tapping their wings In
flight, but always sailing, air-borne,
with their wings rigidly outstretched,
varying the direction of their move
ment by presenting a changed feather
surface to the wind at changed an
gle. This keeps them more or less
heading toward the wind all the time
they are In the air; that Is, they never
head directly from the wind except by
rare accident, as haste to alight or
when struck by shot.
When 1t does happen that for mo-
ment the bird Is tail to the wind, 1t
presents a most ridiculous figure; Its
feathers are blown forward and re-
versed, down go Its web feet, and 1t
paddles the air to right itself
Should there be very little wind, It
will fall head foremost Into the water
but In strong breeze It can always
bring the wind a little\ on one side In
acmoment or two, and sail away again
with Its feathers turned the right way.
These peculiarlties OF flight belong
only to the great petrol group, to which
all the many hundreds of varieties met
with off the Cape of Good Hope belong.
None of these birds takes Its prey on
the wing, az has falsely been repre-
sented over and over again. They must
alight on the water before they can
feed.
In rising from the water petrol
must launch into the air off the ton of
q sea or In very light weather, when
there 10 no swell to take off from. II

gray wandering albatross with twelve
feet spread OF wing, In a clock-calm,
rush quarter of mile over the water
and have at last to subslde exhausted
unable to rise.
The same bird In a hurricane would
merely expand his wings as he crested
a wave, and rise calmly and majestl
cally straight for the zenith, then al
about a hundred feet pause and float
as still and stationary as II hung by g
wire for minutes, eying the man at the
wheel first with one eye and then with
the other, and turning Its head In {
critical, old-fashioned way. He will
then preen himself thoughtfully as h,

LYNCHING NOT INCREASING.

its fury upon less than one-thrd as many

century, 1901, there 1875 mob murders,
