1.-THE EARTH" WILL GET OUT
NEW MEXICO EDITION.

The Santa Railway Company pub
fishes a magazine called "The Earth"
for the primary purpose of boosting
the country through which this rail
way runs. A special New Mexico ed
ition, costing about $4,000 will be is
sued, especial attention being paid
to irrigation matters. In regard to the
Special edition, the last issue of the
Earth says:
Few people in this country real
ize the extent to which artificial irri-
cation has supported and built up
the earth's rich domain. In India ten
million acres of land are under irri-
cation; in Italy, 3,50O,OO0; in Spain
and Belgium, nearly all cultivated
land is under irrigation; France has
large tracts of irrigated lands; so has
Germany, Austria, Turkey, China, ia
pan and Greece.
''The idea OF artificial irrigation
seems to have originated in Egypt
and works for that purpose have been
traced back to the time of Sesostris
or 1,400 years before Christ, and 1t
was on account of her irrigating
bitches that Egypt became the gran
ary and garden Of the old world.
Cultivation of lands under trrfga-
tion Is by no means new in this coun-
try. There are irrigated farms in New
Mexico that are known to be 300
years old and also in New Mexico
there are remains of irrigating works
built by that race whose existence is
only known by the enduring works
which It constructed

MRS. J. B. WOOD
 ILL FROM SHOCK

Seattle, Oct. Mrs. James Wood, who was shot at by person whose demand for S5,O00 she had refused, is in a serious condition from the shock. During the month that elapsed be- tween the time of receiving the first letter demanding the money and threatening Mrs. Woods life in case she refused to comply, Mrs. Wood has to all outward appearances been ut terly unmoved by the threats. Now, however, she is in state of almost mental collapse and her reason may be permanently affected. It is be- lieved that she has been worrying all the time but has concealed the fact even from her mother.
 James Wood, the husband, arrived yesterday from Nome. He declares that he will on sight shoot the first person he finds in the vicinity of his Eagle Harbor home unless that per- son can give a quick ndgood account of himself. Mir. Wood says that he is unable to account for the demand made upon his wife for the $5,00O.

Los Angeles, Oct. Bleeding pro- fuseiy, his face like piece of raw beef and all but unc0ncious from the beating he had received at the hands of Jim Barry, Battling Johnson Sat urday night turned upon his seconds and pummeled them severely after they had thrown up the sponge to save him from further punishment. Johnson appealed to the referee to be allowed to continue his fight with Barry, but the referee pointed to Bar ry as the winner, and Johnson's sec. onds led him, still fighting, from the ring.
 At no stage of the battle was John son a match for Barry who landed upon the battling one at will. It was only question of another round or two before Johnson would have suc- cumbed to the terrible punishment and the act of his seconds met with the approval of the crowd

EARTH TREMBLOR HAS
 RACE WITH ELECTRICITY

Earth tremblor and electricity raced across Alaska last evening, the elec- tricity winning by minute margin. The shock here was quite heavy and of several seconds duration.
 It was just about 5 o'clock last eve- ming that one of the operators in the local cable office had just finished re- ceiving from the operator in St. Mi chael an account of an earthquake, that minute previously had nearly thrown the St. Michael operator from his chair. It was less than minute later that the local operator felt his own chair shaking from the effects of the earth's movement.
 That the shock was general through out the central, northern and western part of Alaska is evidenced by the fact that the operators all along the line sent to the local office word of having felt the shake.

Pacific Grove, Cal, Oct. 3--J. H. Rocker is under arrest here charged with the murder of Mrs. Grace White, whose legal husband is in the in- terior of Alaska. Rocker and Mrs. White had been living together as husband and wife, but to intimate friends here Mrs. White had confided that Rocker was her affinity but not her lawful husband.
 Three days ago Mrs. White was found dead short distance from her home. At first 1t was believed that death was from natural causes, but Rockers actions caused sus- picions on the part of friends of tho couple and the resultant investiga- hon has convinced tho officers that Rocker took tho woma9's life.

He challenged his accusers to invoke the law and declared his willingness to be punish ed II ne has done anything wrong.
 Senator Forakcr did not deny that he has had business relations with the Standard Oil Company, but he did deny that there was ever anything criminal or even culpablc in this re- lation. He defined his connection with the Standard people and pointed out that it was simply that of attor- ncy and client, relationship which ceased so soon as the government be. gan proceedings against the Standard Oil Company.

USING STANDARD OIL

Standard Oil seems to be in de- mand in the present political cam paign to grease the skids for both parties. Both party plat forms have dropped out of sight and both candidates have settled into the background exc ept as debaters con- cerning the demerits of Standard Oil. Both parties are sprinkled with Stan dard oil squirted on the opposition.
 This situation is unique in American politics and offers the narrowest ground for controversy ever known. It Is something like lawsuit, where the pleadings are finally reduced to single isslc. It is the most humor- ous vaudeville sketch ever offered in presidential campaign. The Amer ican people have been electrified by campaigns :n which the issue was whether the tar.n should be more or less by two of three per cent, and one was fought on tho issue whether the country sh, uld go on coining silver dollars or try u acrub along on what 1t had, but never before were they asked to elrcC president upon deter imitation tf the question which party has fewer politicians whose clothes are scented wiyh Standard oil.
 A few years ago they used to talk about frying tho fat out of manufac- turers to get grease for campaign pur- poses but now the struggle seems to be to get the grease spots off the fam fly chattels.
 -ssLLS.r,s.hJ vimc trouui1 ,.as reached the stage where those two eminent Do- lemics, Theodore Roosevelt and Will liam J. Bryan, each the posscssor of large and growing Liars Club, has posted the other for membership in his list of prevaricators. The climax is bound to come soon when the row gets into that fix.
 Since everybody knows how strong IS the taint of Standard Oil on both parties why not call it draw right now? As an amicable arrangement the vice presidential nominees of both parties might be dropped by agree ment and Foraker put on the repub- hcrn ticket with Taft, and Haskell empfoyed as tail for the Bryan ticket

BABIES OF VALDEZ
 TO STAR AT THE FAIR

All the babies, residents of Valdez, are to be star feature at the Valdez exhibit to be made at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition. The babies may not be at the fair in person but they will be represented by photo graphs, the idea being decided upon at the last meeting of the Valdez Ladies' Auxiliary. It is also purposed to have groupe photographs taken all the children in Valdez just to con- vince uniformed visitors to the fair that Alaska is good place in which to raise a family.
 It is the plan of the auxiliary to as- semble the children some afternoon and if possible have the photographs taken in the open air, but if this is not feasible because of the weather they will be photographed in some hall. The day for the picture taking has not yet been decided upon but will be before long. Q.
 With regard to the babies, however, the auxiliary is to make the attempt tomorrow afternoon, and desires that all mothers bring their infant joys to the vacant lot on the corner of Res ervation and Sherman streets, assem- bling at 2:30 o'clock. Babies in arms or in carriages only are desired for this picture, which is to include the nontbara

HORRORS ABOVE 53

Ever since fiction writer laid down or man ran north of 53, obscure per sons seeking notoriety have from time to time broken out with tales of horror alleged to originate above the dead line. In nearly every instance these yarns have been pure invention devised and put together by the mar rator after mixing day or two with the real estate boomers of Seattle. A few years ago the returned mis- sionary told of the slavery of natives on the Alaska peninsula, as near q reality as Jack London's Alaska dog stories.
 Now comes Miss Benedic a school teacher who recently escaped with her life and without husband from the barbarous steppeS of Unalaska island and in her disappointment over something she failed to achicv tells the religious gullions and yellow newspapers of Seattle that white women in Unalaska have to defend their lives and their sacred honor with guns, It is not worth while to answer Miss Benedict further than to suggest that sho can't make her case on glittering generalities. Suppose she should offer the following specih- cations:
 The dates when revenue cutter crews stormed the citadel of virgin missionaries in Unalaska, the names of the cutters to which said crews were attached, the circumstances of the forays and if possible the names of few reputable witnesses.
 Then 1t will be up to the treasury department of the United States gov ernment to call the officers and crews of the offending revenue cutters to account.

It is asserted that Dillow wrote to the department most inn pertinent letter and that Perry was ordered to immediately discharge Dillow.
 For some time following the re- moval of Perry the department main tained silence concerning the reason. While not so admitted it is believed that friends of Perry are responsible for the just made announcement.

GRAND PRIZE WILL BE
 THE HIGHEST, AWARD

Seattle, Sept. 23-Special Cores pondence-The management of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition which will open June 1, 1909, has ad- ded to it's list of awards for the best displays a "grand prize," or "grande prix," at it is generally called on ac- count of originating at the Paris ex- positions. This will be the highest award made to exhibitors. In ad- dition there will be diplomas gold, silver and bronze medals and honor able mention.
 The exhibitors have expressed them selves as much pleased with the de- cision to award grand prize, especi- ally the foreign exhibitors, who care more for the honor of winning a "Grande Prix" than they do for win ming basketful of gold medals. This was very pronounced at the St. Louis exposition. Atall foreign expositions it has been the custom to award & "Grande Prix," and the manufactu- rers in the United States who cater to foreign trade desire to compete for such psiZe. Director of Exhi b. it's Henry R. Dosch, who was instru- mental in having the Grande Prize added to the list, states that it will result in much better, larger and more artistic exhibits for the expo sition.
 Every diploma will be accompanied by medal of bronze, except that of honorable mention. Awards will be made on the reports of the internati- onal juries to exhibitors whose con- tributions are pro nounced to be su- perior. The jury work is planned to be completed two months before the exposition closes, so as to give the successful exhibitors chance to ad- vertise their awards.
