AN ENTIRE VILLAGE
BUILT OF CLAY HOUSES
Novel Project Is Started In New Jer-
sey-F'ire Danger Is Ayerted.

An unusual undertaking, the build
ing of a fire proof village, is in pro-
gress at Mountain Station, on the
border line between Orange and
South Orange, n. j. Six houses are
well on the way to completion al
ready. and they are all made of burn
ed clay in the form Of hollow blocks.
The roofs are Of either asbestos shin
giles or slate.
Nowhere else in the country, 1t Is
said, are there so many fireproof
dwelling houses in one group. The
scheme is the result of the study of
improved methods of construction
within the last few years.
The heirs Of the Henry A., Page es-
tate are carrying through the under
taking. One Of the Page heirs who
has been interested, for several years
in developing the properties of the
estate, formerly put up houses of re-
inforced concrete Recently he re-
tanned an engineer to make a special
investigation Of flreproof materials
and building methods, for the pur-
pose Of comparison. The consequence
Of the investigation was that terra
Gotta blocks, instead Of concrete,
were chosen for the Jersey dwellings.
Squires and Wynkoop and Rossiter
and Wright are the architects.
Each Of the houses now being built
at Mountain Station has eight or 10
floors and outside walls, are Of ter
ra Gotta, so that fire could not
spread from one room to another. In
one of the houses is a floor with a
span Of Is feet, the longest span ever
made with this type of construction
Altogether, the National Flreproof-
ing company has furnished nearly
10000 square feet Of the hollow
blocks for the six buildings.

as much OF the vltriol as IT win car

rs much OF the vitriol as 1t will car
ry.
II pour the wheat from the sacks
into thte trough of vitrol water
where 1t is permitted to become thor
oughly drenched with the prepara-
tion. The element of time the wheat
remains in the water is not so i'm
portant as it is to be sure that every
grain of wheat has been entirely sur
rounded by the liquid and the LIQUID
permitted TO penetrate the crevice In
every grain.
1T is also important to separate
from the seed wheat every grain Of
smut chaff, barley or other foreign
matter, AS these are lighter than the
wheat, which sinks, they rise to the
surface of the water when the wheat
is stirred with a shovel The skim
mingS are thus separated from the
sound seed leaving 1t pure and free
from the danger of further contami-
nation by the breaking of whole
grains of smut. From the trough the
wheat is then shoveled into sacks and
set on drain board so that the wa
ter remaining in it may drain back
into the trough. thus avoiding unne-
cessary waste of water or vitriol
81 do not cling to any particular
mechanical method of accomplishing
the result desired. Any method which
surrounds each grain of wheat with
vitriol water of the proper strength
and removes from the seed all the
foreign matter, will accomplish the
same purpose. l merely follow this
method l have described because I
have found it the simplest, cheapest
and most effective.

Now for the results accomplished.

ner has produced wheat which con-
tained enough smut to injuriously af-
feet its commercial value. In riding
over 400-acre field of 4O-fold wheat
last summer l observed only one head
of smut.
1.-TWO years ago one of my men
treated a small quantity of seed in
the old way in a barrel. l saw him
doing it and had him stop. He sowed
the seed so treated alongside other
seed treated as I have described. The
part treated in the barrel was smutty
while that treated in the trough was
entirely uncontaminated.
Last year one of my neighbors
sowed seed from the same lot as
some of my own. He treated his in
barrel. l treated mine in a trough.
His was smutty and mine was not.

Appreciating the great commercial
Importance to the wheat growing in
dustry of the general application of
his method of guarding against smut,
Mr.. Smith devoted great deal of en-
ergy for the past several years to con-
Quoting a campaign of education re-
garding it.
About six years ago he CHANGED on
the occasion of one of his visits to
Portland to mention il in a conyersa-
ton with Mr.. Clifford of the wheat
buying firm of Kerr, Clifford & Co.
Mr., Clifford expressed himself as
deeply interested in the matter and
asked Mr.. Smith to write out an ac-
count of it for publication in a Port
land paper. Mr.. Smith complied and
Mr.. Clifford procured copies of the
paper containing the article, cut the
copies of the article out and had
them framed and hung up in each
Of the company's interior warehouses
With the copies of the article he sent
out instructions to the company's
agents that whenever a farmer came
to the warehouse with smutty wheat
his attention should be called to the
article on how to effectively prevent
the evil.
From time to time Mr. Smith has
written accounts of his method for
publication in the Spokesman Re-
view, and these have been widely
copied and have brought him a great

wheat as no more necessary than

Killed Many Indians.
Denver Field and Farm.

Upon bank of the Missouri river in
Cedar county, Neb., lives alone man
over ninety years old, who has killed
hundreds of Indians. No one knows how
many redskins he killed and he does not
himself know. Forty-three years of his
life were devoted to the one effort of
killing as many as he could in revenge
for the massacre of his three children.
Hanson Wiseman and his wife and
babe came out from West Virginia to
northeastern Nebraska long before the
War. This country was then the Wild
West In 1862 he enlisted-as a member
OF General Sully's Nebraska brigade.
and, in spite of the warning of his
neighbors, he departed with the troop.
Less than year after Wiseman's three
children were murdered and his cabin
burned by marauding Indians.
Mrs. Wiseman had gone to Yankton
after supplies, leaving her 16-year-old
son to protect his little sister and baby
brother. On her return on the fifth dav
she found the cabin a partial ruin and
the boy and baby dead. Her daughter
was still alive, but with scalp gone and
tongue cut out, she lived but few DAYS

The news reached Wiseman in Mon
tana. Without asking leave he started
back to Cedar county. After LONG
search he found his wife, but it was
year before she was able to tell him the
story. Close by where the Wiseman's
had lived was the hunting ground of the
Poncas, and the territory was new. and
then invaded by the Yankton Sioux. who
were ever in conflict with the Nebraska
reds.
Wlseman was never able to discover
whether it had been Sioux or Poncas
that had murdered his family. Upon the
graves of his children he swore the VEN
delta of the West Virginia hill tribes
and he kept it. A few years ago a ge-
oiogist discovered at the foot of the
bluff, where his children were buried
the remains of twenty-four Indians. IT
was pronounced to be an Indian BURNING

1t was the old mans private graveyard.

point to pick off every stray Indian he
ran across. He became a most skilled
sharpshooter, and the way he picked off
an Indian chief or buck was source of
wonderment to those waiting for the re-
turn of the victim.

realizes that the Republicans of the
Ninth are not an ignorant hireling
band. The News Leader is alarmed
lest the Republicanism of this district
shall infect the eastern part of the
State. According to recent admissions
of our contemporary the infection has
already begun to work, even in Rich
mond. And while the Democrats are
trying to conquer Republicanism in the
mountains the infection is taking hold
of the citadel of Democracy.
The suggestions of the News Leader
are vain. You may send your bulldogs
Of Democracy and all your Democratic
dollars to the Ninth, but you will fail to
check or crush the growing tide of Re-
publicanism out here. 1t has become
defiant and unconquerable party. We
reiterate what we have said before, and
what the News Leader called the chaste
and elegant language of the Tazewell
Republican, that the Democrats will
never regain control of the Ninth Dis
trict, unless they invent some new
scheme for stealing it.

RICHMOND AND The NINTH"

The Richmond News Leader, one of
our most esteemed Democratic contem-
poraries, continues to manifest interest
in the Ninth District. Under the above
heading it discloses the fact that Judge
Parker, the late unfortunate candidate
OF the Democratic party, is to be invited
to Richmond to make speech in behalf
of Mr.. Bryan. The News Leader thinks
that this movement and any such effort
on the part of Judge Parker will be
labor and time wasted, assigning as a
reason for this belief that public senti-
ment in that city is already fixed as to
Taft and Bryan. The News Leader
then suggests that Judge Parker be
sent to the Ninth, with the hope that
the gentleman of Esopus fame may pos
sibly be able to storm and capture this
mountain fortress of the Republicans.
While making that suggestion, our
Richmond contemporary, perhaps unin-
tentionally, pays a high tribute to the
intelligence and courage of the Republi-
cans of the Ninth District. 1t says:
The Republicans, with wisdom and
foresight for which they are entitled to
credit, took advantage of Democratic
Generalization in the Ninth District and
organized strong and effective raid
there. They had sense enough to know
that if the Ninth District could be made
Republican it could be used as a fortress
from which to carry on the fight for the
rest of the State. Results have justi-
fed their expectations. Republican in
fiuence and strength have spread stead
lily from the Ninth District into the
counties in contact with it. This wear
the Democrats have the opportunity to
recover all this lost ground. 80" The
whole power of the Democratic party in
Virginia should be concentrated for
an aggressive, winning fight in the
Ninth. The last few years the Re
publicans there have been allowed
to do about as they liked. There is
every reason to believe that they can
be overthrow and their power broken.
The gain of a seat in Congress is an OBJ
ject well worth the attention of the Ma
tional Committee, to say nothing of the
destruction of center of Republican
ism which threatens infection, in the
course of few years, to the entire
State. The National Committee ought
TO send some of the best speakers and
strongest men we have in the country
20 help in this battle"
So, at last, our Richmond contempor-
ny has been restored to reason and
