SYDNEY. N. 8. W., March 12-Tobacco
growing Is not one of the Industries COM
monty associated with Australia but agri-
culturists in Queensland are trying good
many experiments with new crops. and
the results suggest that there is just
possibility that Queensland cigars may
one day be as much sought after as the
Havana article. 1t Is stated that the
Bowen district is destined to become
center for the production of cigar leaf on
a large scale. Already some Of the farm
ers have grown leaf which has been very
highly spoken of by experts. and for
which high prices have been paid. The
local farmers are extending their areas.
and others are going into thes district.
Arrangements will shortly be made for
the building Of large rehandling house
in the Texas district. where 1t Is proposed
to receive the tobacco loose from the farm
err and have 1t prepared on the spot. By
this method II Is hoped that the quality
Of the leaf will be considerably improved.
The factory will have a capacity for
handling 200 tons at a time. Mr.. Nevill,
the state tobacco expert, ais of the opin-
ion there is practically no. limit to the
soils suitable for growing cigar tobacco
in Queensland.
The increase Of population in thereon
monwealth is VIGOROUSLY slow, and the
legislators of western Australia. where
the inhabitants number only two to the
square mile. have determined to take a
leaf out of the book Of the French. With
view to encouraging bigger families an
amendment has been inserted in the in
come tax bill by the state legislative as
sembly giving an exemption of $50 for
every child up to the number of FIVE in
the family of the taxpayer. Five children
Is evidently the limit which the legisla.
ture intends to countenance In any one
household.

| Des lIoines, Dec. 24.-The coal min
| ing Industry in Iowa is almost at a
standstill, and unless something hap
weeks, there will be an exodus of coal
miners from Iowa to other states where
work is plentiful.
Mine operations have not been at
such a, low ebb for years as they are
now, ;Lnd some Of the best men con-
nected with the business are at a loss
to know what is the matter with the
trade. It is possible that the better
condit. ons of work and traffic have
enabled Illinois mines to place their
coal III the markets of northern Iowa
at lower rate than the Iowa mines
can afford.
Hur dreds of miners in the near
vicinity of Des Moines are now work
ing fewer days a week than they did
all thru the summer.
In the mines which supply local
trade only, this condition can be at
tributad to the weather. But the
fact that the large railroad mines are
idle, that they are working on the
shortest possible time, and have largo
quantities Of coal stored, that they
have all the cars they can procure
loaded, but that little coal is moving,
would indicate that the former fields
of thu, Iowa mines have been secured
by other coal operators.
"Ccal conditios have never been
worse, in this district than they are
now" said prominent coal man to-
day. There has not been a time in
years when SO little coal was being
mined and yet the consumption of
coal in the state is as large as it ever
has been. 1t looks to me as If the
coal men of Illinois. either with or
without the help of the railroads, have
taken the business away from the
Iowa producer Conditions will have
to change soon, or matters will come
to a critical stage with a number Of
mines"

Clear Lake, Dec. 24-Great masses
of ice are. grinding against the town
shor of. Clear Lake and the old resi-
dents say that the situation is worse
than at any previous time in the his
tory of the town. The warm period fol-
lowing the first cold snap had the effect
of expanding and cracking the ice. The
gene raj force of pressure was toward
the town shore and there most of the
damage is being done.
On Sunset Beach the stretch Of land
between the shore and the cottages Is
being slowly ground up and deposited
on the back porches of the cottages.
In front of the w. H. Patton cottage
great willow tree is being slowly up
rooted by the tremendous pressure of
the ice about its base. At other places
alo1lg the shore sidewalks and em'bank-
me1lts too close to the edge are being
demolished.
Along the shore between the town
dock and the Mann cottage the tracks
of the interurban have been imminent
ly threatened with destruction and it
was found necessary to cut "a chan
mel in the ice a few feet outsfrom the
shore to relieve the pressure against
the shore and avert the destruction
which threatened the tracks.
