Chicago, Aug 13.-General Secre-
tary Russell of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' union today predicted that
before night the strike would be gen.
eral throughout the United States and
Canada He said: "All members of
the national executive board are here
excepting President Small and he has
wired his sanction of any step we may
take in the direction of calling a gen.
eral strike. An executive board meet
ing will be held today to consider a
general strike. In my opinion by
night $4,000 operators in the United
States and Canada who belong to the
union Will be called OUT
officers of the local Telegraphers'
union assured operators If they re-
manned out the companies would be
forced to meet their demands. Some
operators said the union funds are in
sufficient to finance a protracted strike
but they are depending on aid from
allied unions.
Labor Commissioner Neill, President
Gompers and other leaders conferred
today with the idea of arranging some
manner of settling the strike. Com
missioner Neill declared there is no
immediate indication of a settlement.

longing to the Railway Telegraphers'

duties now as prior to the commercial
telegraphers' strike. nothing more,

Another New Coal Camp.

The Central Coal and Coke Company,
operating extensive coal mines here,
announces that the construction of a
branch railroad to new coal deposits
north of here will be commenced at
once and that another large coal camp,
employing several hundred miners will
be established at that place. The de-
mand for coal is very great and before
the end Of the present year the output
of the Rock Sprins district now one Of
the greatest camps in the west, will be
doubled. The Union Pacific coal Com
pany has recently opened up big mines
at Superior, just north Of here, the old
Blair deposits adjoining the city, are
now being re-opened and the Central
Coal & Coke Company will establish q

to twenty per cent Of the plant weight

tain the greatest fertiling properties
Thus. while the hay crop is taken off
there is plenty OF fertilizing matter left
on the ground to return practically a.
much as there is taken out. The alfalfa
roots having drawn much of their nour
ishment from depth Of from four TO
nine feet in the earth, really bring this
TO the surface and help make rich sub
soil. Furthermore. the numerous al
falfa roots open mp to the soil and allow
the air and moisture to penetrate free
IL, adding still more nitrogen TO the
soil and thus the fertilizing process con-
tinues.
Prof. Headden showed many remark.
able photographs Of alfalfa plants and
their roots, some of the latter running
into the ground to o depth of twelve
feet. One plant, Of which a picture
was shown, had 800 stems Of alfalfa
from single root. This was the larg.
est plant Of the kind, said Mr.. Headden,
that he had ever seen. Il was grown
on the college farm. Ia field where
few stray plants had been left over
from the season before.

professor more especially to show how

surgery Without Scars.

Scarless surgery il numbered among
the most recent achievements In medi-
cal science. 1t is explained that In
making the first incision the scalpel
does not cut the skin at right angles
with the surface, but passes through
It at slant.
After the operation Is performed
rigid dressing Of wool and glass Is
applied to prevent contraction and as
much pressure Is brought to bear on
the wound as is safe. According to
foreign advices the London surgeon
who conceived the idea and success
fully put It into practice is unable to
meet the demands for his services.

Great is Alfalfa.

Prof. w. P. Headden, the alfalfa ex-
pert at the Colorado state agricultural
college, while he may NOT have fully
convinced his listeners, says the Gree
ley Colo. Tribune, that alfalfa is the
first and original cause of everything
else that grows, he probably did con-
vince them that without the proper
growth OF alfalfa ON the farm of Colo
RADIO these will within few years be-
come too lean to sustain the present
population even.
By actual analysis Mr.. Headden and
others have determined the exact value
Of alfalfa to the soil An alfalfa crop
plowed under would return 10 the soil
fertilizing properties to the value of
$7.54 TO every acre, figuring the present
market value Of potash. phosphoric
acid and nitrogen, the three substances
that make up the fertilizing properties
of alfalfa.
ParadOxical as 1t may seem while al

agents Il is also one of the heaviest feeds
