for the betterment of our town and
her people. Bro. Gregory is one
of tha most practical encounters

1t makes excellent paper.

The farmers in the south burn or
pillow under 13 million tons Of cotton
stalks every year. That which is
plowed under is not wholly lost for it
enriches the soil to some extent, but
not so with what goes up in smoke.
Five hundred Thousand tons of fiber
have been adflering to cotton seed
every year. 1t has been fed TO farm
stock along with the seed and has
done the stock no good. Cattle and
sheep do not like the fiber and the
Seed-cake is better without it. A ma
chine has been invented, which, it is
claimed, will separate the lint from
the seed. Paper makers think they
can use it.
Nobody knows how many million
tons of cornstalks go to waste; but in
quality they are far ahead Of cotton
stalk, and it is believed they can be
made into paper, although it has not
yet been done on a commercial scale.
Thousands Of acres of wild hemp

turned over to the society, besides
they paid all expenses for the ladies'.

was over the ladies had S5S clear.

Paper-making from straw Is a we'll
established industry. Bookbinders
use thousands of tons of strawbOard.
The straw which goes to waste in
western wheat fields would bring for
tunes If made into paper.
Lists of fibrous or woody plants suit
able for paper are almost without linn
it, but only a few may be had in guam
tity sufficiently large to be worth con-
sidering.
The time has not yet come when
it is absolutely necessary that substi-
tutes for pulp wood be found, but it
is coming. The forests are still able
to furnish materials for paper, but
they cannot continue to do SO for a
great many years to come, at the pre-
sent rate of cutting and growth.
Makers of paper anticipate a scarcity
of pulp wood and it is this which
prompts the active search now going
on for substitutes.

Substitutes For Pulp Wood.

The American nation has the repu-
tation of wasting almost as much of
it's resources as it uses. Facts are Of
ten advanced to show that there is
much truth in such a statement.
A practical paper-maker recently
called attention to a few Of the sourc-
es of enormous waste when speaking
of the number of materials in Ameri-
cas- refuse heap which are worth
while considering as promising SUBJ
%stitutes for wood pulp.
The Northwest annually produces a
million and a half tons of flax stalks
which. are not now used fer anything.
That amount of waste remains after
the Irvine makers take all they want,

J. w. Reedy, Oscar Sundstrom and
Mr.. Deane, who have extensive hold

heavy losers, but there are at least
125 farmers damaged by the hail and

territory places the total amount of
damage at 3l25,OOO to $3.50, 600, con-
fined wholly to growing crops and

but he avoided the Japanese question
as much as possible. In answer to di-
rect questions, however, he said tat
the whole thing had come on him as a
surprise, and that he had not got him
self adjusted to it yet.
81 must wait" he declared, 'until
the news is either confirmed or con-
tradicted, which latter, I hope, will be
the case"
"The dispatch says that the Tatsu
gents, your excellency. Is there, then,
a state of rebellion in any part of Chi
ma which warrants the use Of such an
eXpression?" Mr.. WI was asked.
NO CHINESE REBELLION.
mo" he replied, fatty. There is no
insurrection, no uprising. China is in
a state of making over, of reformation,
and in that sense there Is a general
unrest, for we cannot please every
body. 1t is just as it is here in your
country, wnere there are always some
who are dissatisfied But rebellion?
No"
The envoy said that Monday or Tues
day he should present his credentials
to the State Department and learn
when it would be the Presidents pleas
ure to receive him. Until that time
he said, he would rest from his jour
ney. Nine. WI, he added, would reach
Washington in two months, having re,
manned at home to complete certain
domestic arrangements.
The minister's trip from China oc'
cupied thirty-three days. He was
twenty-five days on shipboard, stopped
four days in San Francisco and was
four days crossing the continent.

HIDES
CAUSE OF DIVORCE
WILL CARRY SECRET TO GRAVE,
SAYS SHE-PAPERS ARE FILED.
THAW NEAR TO COLLAPSE.

NEW YORK, March 11-Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw tonight made the frank ad-
mission that she has used the alleged
insanity of her husband merely as a
pretext to secure a permanent separa-
ton from him. Behind the insanity
allegation, on Which she asks the an
nulment of her marriage, there is a
hidden cause for her Revision of feel
ing toward him which she declares
must remain a secret forever. Here
is Mrs. Thaw's statement.
Despite the tact that 1 am suing
my husband to have our marriage an
nulled on the ground that he was in
sane when the ceremony was per-
formed, | am frank to admit that it is
not the true reason. What is prompt
ing me in this will remain a secret
as long as l live and never in my right
senses will | utter a word.
Il am determined to carry the secret
to the grave with me. Further than
that, | found my cause in the first
| trial. 1 will remain mum in this mat
ter forever"
Mrs. William 1naw arranged today
with young Mrs. Thaw the terms upOr
which the family will place Thaws
wife beyond want. The exact nature
of the terms will be known later by
the lawyers; but there is good reason
for the statement that $4,000 cash and
an annuity of between $4,000 anC
$4,000 per year, as stated yesterday
closely approaches the settlement
which has been agreed upon.
Thaw, when advised Of the process
servers coming, was in a highly ner
vous condition all day, and at hal
hourly intervals, sent out demanding
to know If the man had arrived. B!
nightfall he was on the verge of
nervous fenzy.

in which to file an answer to tn

worried over the news of the ultima
tum delivered to his government by
Japan.
The first Washingtonian to welcome
Minister WI back to the city was a
reporter for The STAR who boarded
the diplomats special train just after
it halted in the Union station at 6: AS
yesterday evening.
AS soon as the reporter told Mr.. WI
that he was from The Evening Star
the minister said: "And my dear old
friend, Crosby Noyes, is dead" He
expressed his deep sorrow, and declar-
ed that Mr.. Noyes had been a good
friend to him during his former life
in Washington.
Mr.. WI, who was still in his state
room, went on to tell how pleased he
was to be in America.
when l put my foot upon your soil
1 feel 1 am one of you and one with
you," he declared.
"Are you likely to take out natural
ization papers this time, Mr.. Wu?"
asked the reporter.
"Ah," replied Mr.. WI, deprecating-
ly, mot until your laws upon the sub
ject are modified"
But" it was suggested, you are a
student, you know, and may be that
will help"
81 fear not" he said with another
shake of his head.
THE JAPANESE ULTIMATUM.
He was beaming and shed smiles
with lavish generosity until the report
er showed him a copy of The Star con
tanning a dispatch from Picking an

ultimatum to China, requiring an apo
logy for hauling down the flag of the

LIFE INSURANCE
INVESTIGATIONS
COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL RE-
CEIvEs REPORTS ADVERSE TO
TWO CONCERNS HERE.

A lot of data on life insurance COM
panies, received yesterday by Insur-
ance Commissioner A. ]. Campbell is
of especial interest in this Territory
since it shed light on two concerns
doing business here.
One of these is the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Company, of New York,
and the other is the Provident Savings
Life Assurance Society, another New
York company. The former, accord
ing to circular of the Insurance De-
partment of the State of Colorado just
issued, and a statement by the insur-
ance commissioner of New York State
lately made, is hopelessly insolvent.
Policyholders are advised, however, to
keep up their premiums, all such pay
ments now being made, being kept sep
arate and will not be lost Frank l..
Winter has been agent for this con-
Germ here, but has written no new poll
cies for it for some time.
The second named company by the
same circulars seems to be in a little
better shape. 1t is represented here
by the Bishop Insurance Agency, Ltd
The first of this year, the Insurance
Commissioner refused to renew it's Ii.
cense to do business here on account
of it's poor standing, but premiums are
still being collected on old policies. Ii
is stated that the Provident, however
L 4 -
icyhoders may get their money out.

HOW RATS MAY
Be DRIVEN AWAY
RULES FOR GUIDANCE OF HOUSE
HOLDERS IN WAGING WAR ON
RATS AND DISEASE.

The following are rules for the guild
ance of householders and business men
in the war which the San Francisco
Health Department is waging against
the disease-spreading rats:
TRAPS.
The best trap for use in dwellings,
stores etc, is the large wire cage trap.
This trap should be placed near rat
hoes and rat runs. and should be COW
cred with a sack or box in such man
ner that nothing but the entrance Of
the trap is left exposed. After a rat
has been caught, the trap should be
famed with a burning newspaper in
about the same manner as a cook
would SINCE a chicken or turkey, in
order to remove all odor of previous
occupants from the trap, as otherwise
no other rats will go into the trap for
some time. Snap traps may also be
used but the large cage trap is much
better Traps and poisons, dogs or any
other means that may suggest them
selves may be adopted.
