Bear swims Away From Roosevelt.

Stamboul. La. Oct. 1T.-Brutus Jack son. one of the presidents hunters, who arrived from Bear lake. brings the report that q bear was started in the canebrake near the camp, but that it escaped by swimming across the lake The president did not get view of it. but took the trail in the hope of seeing the animal. The lack of sue cess is attributed to the fact that most of the dogs are young. and the Osborn brothers of NewelltOn. who own a fine pack of trained bear trailers. have been appealed to to come to the rescue.

Things are going pretty well in
 Panama according to accounts of the resident engineers. They have rigged up the old monster French dredges that had been lying in the Rio Grande for twenty years. At an expense Of about $20.000 for labor and material, the dredge was put in condition for work and can eXcavate material at the rate of 120,00O cubic yards q month. This is better than could be done with one of the new dredges that cost $102.000. There has been a great deal of other machinery that has proved useful with q little refurbish- ing, and at this rate the price paid for the canal commission and all of the material does not look very eX- Orbitant. The army engineers Seem to be going at their job in business like way that makes both for econ- omy and effectiveness. and the people in this country who will benefit by their completed work should not only wish them luck, but give them every assistance in a financial way that they need.

LICORiCE ROOT.
We Buy Half Million Dollars Worth
 Year From Asia Minor.

Llcorice root grows wild in the fields of Asia Minor. and few at- tempts have been made thus far to- ward it's cultivation.
 Until fifty years ago it was prac- tically unused. This root grown on the Meander plains is the best in the world, being superior to that found in Syria, Mesopotamia, Causasia, Siberia or Chinaa.
 The exporters of the root lease llcorice bearing lands for a period of from three to five years. Digging usually begins in October. and is done by peasants, who at the end of each day deliver the root to the var ious depots and receive payment ac- cording to the quantity they bring.
 The root is piled up and exposed to the air until about May and June It then weighs only half as much as originally, owing to the thorough drying process to which it has been subjected. The root is sorted to obtain the qualities known as debris and "bagette," both of which are highly valued.
 Licorice root is shipped in bales weighing about 220 pounds each, pressed by hydraulic machinery and strapped with iron bands. The United States Is the principal con- sumer of this class of licorice. which is shipped there in its natural state as raw material, being admitted free of duty.
 It is converted into licorice paste for medicinal purposes. and is especially used for flavoring plug tobacco. Licorice root is its orgin- al state can also be found in any drug store in America. Annual ex- ports to the United States amount to about 14,210 tons, valued at S55O.- 000.-Fur News.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1907.

The railroad commissioners who have been holding their convention in Washington arc confronted with a problem. They arc well content to let the interstate commerce commission deal with the interstate railroad prob lem, but they are concerned with inc intrastate roads and they want some method whereby the interstate and the intrastatc earnings of the roads can he separated and shown in diff ferent reports. This is a delicate and complex problem in bookkeeping and cne about which the commissioners are not 1t all decided, so if anyone can come forward with a cheap and easy solution of it. the commoners no doubt would be glad to hear from him.

GIVES LIFE TO SAVE GIRL.
Railroad Conductor and Woman He
 Tries to Save Are Dying.

Trenton N. J., Oct 17.-In an effort to save the life of a young woman q Pennsylvania railroad conductor was injured so severely he will die. and the young woman has even less chance of living. Both are in St. Francis hospital.
 Miss Elizabeth Shomber of this city, with her sister Mary, were, walking along the towpath of the Raritan ca nal when they were confronted by a team of mules pulling a canalboat Some of the mules were unruly, and the young women ran from the tow path to the railroad tracks adjoining A train was backing toward them, but they did not see it.
 On the platform of the first car were William Van Deventer. the conductor of the train. and John Morgan, brakeman. Morgan jumped to the lowest step and grabbed Mary Shom- Der and pushed her out of the way. Her sister was almost upon the rails, with her back toward the train and watching the mules. Van Deventer leaned down over the rail and caught the young woman by the shoulders and lifted her off her feet In her terror at the gripping upon her shoulders she struggled frantically. Van Deventer was dragged over the rail. and he and the young woman fell in front of the slowly moving car, and the wheels of one truck passed over them.
 Miss Shomber's right arm and both her legs were crushed of. Van De- venter's left leg was cut of and sev- eral ribs were broken. and he was in. !ured internally.

TAFT OPENS ASSEMBLY.
Says FiIipinos Won't Be Fit For Self
 Government For Generation.

Manila. Oct. 1I.-Secretary Taft for mally opened the Philippine assembly at noon in the presence of a large as- semblage.
 Mir Taft reiterated his former state ments regarding the Philippine Is- lands. declaring that his views an- nounced two years ago regarding the independence of the Philippine people have not changed-he does not believe they will be fitted to govern them that matter is entirely in the hands of congress. He denied emphatically that the United States has any intention of disposing of the islands. said he has full confidence in the Filipinos. denied that he is disappointed at their ability to legislate conservatively and asserted his belief that they feel their respon- abilities and acknowledge the neces- sity of supporting the American gov ernment.
 After delivering the opening address Secretary Taft called the assembly to order. After a short prayer, read by the only native Catholic bishop in the islands. recess was taken.
 On reassembling Sergio Osmena. Nationalist, formerly governor of Cebu island. was elected president. Osmena is a young man and took no part in the revolt. He is highly esteemed by the government and his own people.
 All the assemblymen were then sworn in. The oath included acknowl- edgment of the sovereignty of and al- legiance to the American government. The delegates showed ignorance of parliamentary law and procedure.
