CRUISER YANKEE SUNK.
elimination Of Unfortunate Cruise to
Attend Submarine Flotilla
Maneuvers.

New Bedford, Mass.-The United
States cruiser Yankee, which was float
ed Friday after having been aground
on a reef at the western entrance to
Buzzards bay for several weeks, sank
early Saturday off Penikes island.
1t was intended, as soon as the cruiser
had been freed from the reef, to tow
her to New York, but a nasty north
west gale made such plan impracti-
cable.
The sinking of the Yankee was the
elimination of an unfortunate cruise
from Newport to the neighborhood of
Martha g Vineyard to attend the sub
marine hotilla in their fall maneuvers.
While on her way from Cuttyhunk to
Newport for supply of coal the Yam
kee struck on Spindle5rock, at the vests
ern entrance to Buzzards bay, during a
thick fog ON September %.
Captain James T. McAllister, who was
in charge of the marine engine of the
wrecking work, in view of the danger
warned the members of the wrecking
crew to leave the ship, All but six OF
the 90 men left the Yankee. The
cruiser reeled suddenly and sank in AZ
fathoms of water. All escaped

Japs Buy Alaska Mine.

The mikado of Japan has purchased

famous Alaska pioneer, the largest an
timony mine in America, from which the
Japanese government will take tons of
minerals containing valuable ingredients
for smokeless powder and metals which
will make the steel hulls of Nippon bat

Japs had received reports of an assay
of ore taken secretly from the mine in
September. Japanese experts have
made a complete investigation, not only
of this mine, but of nearly every i'm

last six months.
All preparations have been completed
to throw large force Of Japanese Ia

doned farms. These farms were not
abandoned, as is commonly supposed,
because the soil is exhausted, but for
economic reasons. When the land was
cleared it was nearly as cheap to saw
timber into lumber as to burn it, and
these farmers built larger buildings
than they needed. They established
themselves in a certain kind Of farm
ing, and when the west opened up and
raised breadstuffs cheaper than they
could, they were forced into dairying
and finally off of the land.
tBut the new type of farming will re-
claim these lands which are returning
to forests. 1t was not long ago that
the cry of the abandoned New England
farm was supposed to be the greatest
economic question of the east; but it is
no longer so. We have settled that
question by scientific farming.
