CHOLERA KILLS OFF 7loa.
Russia Reports Awful Ravages Of the
Plague.

st. Petersburg.-Since the beginning
OF the epidemic here there have been
1880 cases of Asiatic cholera reported
in Russia and 7102 deaths. In St.
Petersburg alone, since the presence of
the disease was officially admitted, Sep
tember s, there have been 1881 cases
and 1871 deaths reported.
The figures with reference to the in.
vaslon of this city by the disease can
not be relied upon, as on number of
occasions authoritative sources showed
the number of cases and deaths in a
single day to be far in excess of that
announced by the authorities. There is
an appreciable betterment of the SAM.
tary conditions and consequent decrease
IN the disease as shown by the figures
given out today. For the "a hours
ended at noon the number of new cases
in the city was 26S and the number
OF deaths 143, as compared with 312
new cases and 1873 deaths for the previ-
GUS "a hours.
Difficulty has been experienced in
dealing with the workmen of st. Peters
burg and their families, who comprise
three-fifths of the population, and they
were unable and unwilling to comply
with the sanitary precautions. The ig-
norance of the lower orders and the
superstition of all classes greatly in
crease the difficulties of the situation.
During the early stages of the epidemic
few could be prevailed upon to Under
go preventive incubation, which is pro-
vided free of charge, but latterly the
authorities have made incubation COM
pulsory in some quarters of the city.

Rich Hongkong Citizen Demands the
Right to Land,

Right to Land.
The immigration officials of the port
of San Francisco encountered new
problem recently with the arrival of
the Pacific Mail liner Korea from the
orient, when Robert Tung Bosnian, a
wealthy resident of Hongkong, who was
one of the vessels passengers, desired
to land accompanied by two wives. Mr..
Bosnian frankly confesses that he be-
lieves in plural marriages, and not only
has he the two wives who are accom-
panying him on the present trip but
states that he left three more wives at
his home in Hongkong when he sailed.
The trio, with three children, the issue
of Bosnian s marriage with one of the
wives now with him, are detained
aboard the Korea until the immigration
officials decide what shall be done in
the matter, which they hope to do by
means of a special board of inquiry Sc
lected to attend to the Bosnian case.

WILL OPEN UP METHow VALLEY
Projected Great Northern Extension to
Aid Northern Country.

Advices from Wenatchee are that
upon the completion of the Big Bend
branch of the Great Northern railroad
from Columbia river siding construction
will be begun ON line from a point
on the Great Northern just west of the
Columbia river to Oroville, following
the Columbia to Brewster, crossing the
Okanogan river at Ophir and running
along the east side of the Okanogan
river to its northern terminus.
The road, if built, will run within
four miles of Lake Chelan and will
open up the Methow valley as well as
give transportation facilities for the
mines in the vicinity of Oroville. The
line from Brewster north will run
through the same territory that the
projected Okanogan electric railroad
will occupy if it is carried to com
pletion.

To Make Poor Farm Rich.

SThe progressive farmer rotates his
crops. He tile-drains his land. He
keeps dairy cows or mutton sheep or
both. He breeds draft horses and does
farm work with brood mares and grow
ing colts. He improves the power Of
the soil by growing legumes."
James Wilson, secretary OF agricul-
ture, in the above words sums up the
vital principles of good farming. He
declares that the people of the United
States have wasted their inheritance Of
land and wood, and the productiveness
of the soil near the great centers Of
population has steadily decreased. We
have been a nation of soil robbers, but
there is at last an awakening-slow but
sure.
Farmers Of all sections are wanting
to know how to stop the leaks and in
crease the deposits of their business and
the government is helping them in many
ways. There are over 1900 persons
employed in the Department of Agri-
culture and 1000 Of these are scientists,
all working intelligently toward help
Ing the farmer solve the problems
which confronts him. There are sixty
five land grant colleges with 10000 stu
dents in agriculture. These boys are
learning that rotation of crops is neces-
sary, that live stock must be raised to
make manure, of which there is never
enough.
They are finding out that young
grasses and legumes are natures per.

other sources. Pasture land increases
as farm help becomes scarce. Mutton

ganic matter. When good crops o.
grain or roots are wanted the pasture

crops from pasture land.
With the help OF improved machiner,

this class are keeping up the productiv

The neglected lands of the easter

the history of the association. Every
department has been enlarged and the
rapid growth of the Inland Empire is
shown in the additional exhibits in
nearly all departments. The races are
not alone the chief attraction this year,
but every effort has been made by the
fair management to make the amuse-
ment program of an unusually inter
esting character. To this end they
have secured an airship-one that real
ly goes-and three flights are to be
made daily by Captain Dallas. In ad-
dition to the airship they have arranged
for balloon ascensions and parachute
drops.
An Indian village of so Sioux direct
from the Montana reservation will be
on hand, augmented by a village of
Ingorotes. A group of Bontoc IngOr-
Otes, the famous head hunters of Luzon,
are on their way to Spokane from Min
nesota with their matched huts and
paraphernalia for we'll regulated In

appearance of tribe of these natives
in Washington and will prove one of
the interesting attractions at the fair

Emects Of Rurnl Deliverv.


There is veritable network of rural
routes out Of nearly all Of the towns In
this section Of the State, and seldom
does one find farmer who is not
placed in position to take advantage
Of one. With present conditions exist
ing, the man on the farm has the OPP
portunity to take his daily paper as the
one III town, and gets his mail some
times earlier than many Of the resi-
dents Of the cities. There are rural
mail carriers and rural mail carriers
each one has his striking characters
tic. The majority are favorites in
their particular field; and as rule
the patrons OF his route would not
trade him for any other man on an
other. The carrier and the farmer
learn to know each other, and the coun-
try visitor on hearing them greet each
other would say they were both good
fellows" The man that carries the
mail should have whole lot Of credit.
He is obliged to make the trip in all
kinds of weather and the best of pro-
tectiohs will not make the job an en-
joyable one. Some time when he is not
busy, let the reader talk a few min
utes to rural mail carrier and he
will find that he is In touch with eV-
eryone on the route. - Bloomington

An annual fence post bill OF more
than $1,250,O00 is one item In the ex-
pense account Of the farmers Of a sim
gle agricultural State. 1t is estimated
that the farmers Of Iowa use posts hay
ing value exceeding this enormous
sum each year to maintain the fences
on the 25.0OO,O0O acres OF improved land
in the State.
In making these estimates, H. P.
Baker, professor Of forestry in Iowa
State Agricultural College, figured that
the farms Of Iowa required 100000
posts for fences, or 2O004to the square
mile. Placing the value of the posts at
10 cents each, the cost of renewals ev-
cry eight or nine years, which is the
life of the post, is $11,719,OOO, making
an annual bill for renewals Of 81, 460,-
600.
Like many other farming States,
Iowa has a lack of fence post material,
but there is little excuse for this con-
dition, according to the foresters who
have made studies in the State A prop
erly managed forest plantation viii
produce, when the trees have reached
post size, $500 posts three to FIVE inches
In diameter per acre; thus, it would
take 22S50 acres about every ten years
to grow the necessary posts to supply
the State. Iowa is said to have 20O,-
600 acres of planted timber. and yet the
fence post supply is insufficient. IL
properly cared for, many Of these plan
tations can be made to produce moro
timber, and thus insure the future post
supply.
These 100000 acres are not at present
furnishing the posts which 1t Is estl-
mated can actually be grown on 22,360
acres of properly handled forest land
