this be SO and Republican admin

can IT not prohibit panic and a

Real Rottomless Pits.

BottomleSS pits are facts. not fancieS.
according to Professor e. \. Martel,
the French geologist. He declares that
this term may be applied to cliff caves
whose lower part has been cut off by
the erosion of the valley below. thus
turning them into tunnels. through
which the valley may be seen. The
most remarkable abyss of this kind
which the savant has seen is the so
called hole of Platary. on the summit
of the eastern ridge of Vercors, above
Clelies. At about 800 feet a horizon
tai orifice opens suddenly like the
mouth of an ordinary cave, which It
probably once was. The bottom has
been cut off, demolished by the i'm
mense erosion of the vast basin of
treves to the east. 1900 to $500 feet
deep. on which the present lower ORR
flee of the present cave opens out in a
superb arch twenty-siX feet high.
From the railway between the sta
| tions of Clelles and Percy. on the line
| from Grenole to Veynes. it is seen
| 1900 feet in the air like a pinhole near
| the summit of limestone cliff. 1t was
| from the car window that the eXtraor,
| binary aperture was discovered. In
| Belgium in the Grand Dukes hole one

evidence of an incompletely destroyed
cave whose remaining upper entrance

factory. We shall have some thous-
ands OF bushels of seed wheat this fall.
while in Minnesota our experiments
are yet incomplete. We believe now /,
that it is foregone conclusion that /
the grain will grow here or on any
good wheat land with equal success
and productiveness.
"The head of the new Alaska wheat
lis curiously shaped. | can explain best
by saying that it looks like half doz-
en- odd sizes of ordinary wheat heads
growing on one stem. The head is
enormous as compared with the ordin-
airy kinds, and produces grain in pro-
portion TO its size. The first seven
pounds of seed gathered produced 1,545
pounds of grain of the finest quality.
| am convinced that we can grow 200
bushels of the best hard wheat here in
Minnesota, with the adoption of the
new Alaska Species Il
The new wheat was discovered by
Abraham Adams while prospecting in
Alaska in 1903 He brought back sew
eral heads and began experimenting
at Juliaetta, Idaho. Mr. Hobe became
interested in the project and has as
sisted in the development of the new
conner.
| Samples of the grain shown in st.
Paai display a remarkably long and
tough straw and tremendous product
Iiveness from single kernels. One test
Kernel gave forth seven matured
stems, each of which bore an immense
head
Mr.. Hobe gives as result of the
tests and experiments the following
statements:
The new wheat will yield 200 BUSH
els to the acre.
1t will grow hard wheat from fall
sowing.
1t will withstand the effects of frost.
1t will withstand moderate hail. This
fact was discovered from the effects
of storm in Idaho which it was at
first thought would ruin the experiment

by accident, will revolutionize wheat
growing In Minnesota and the north
west. Experiments are now in prog
ress in the famous Red river valley
of Minnesota, one of the great wheat
districts of the world The new grain
has been proven to produce 200 bush
els TO the acre, and the kernels are
twice the size of ordinary wheat.
Experiments with the new grain
have been progressing at Juliaetta,
Idaho, for several years, and it is very
recently that Mr. Hobe has felt salts
fed to make public the results already
accomplished. He is extensively in
terested in agriculture and is an ex-
perienced grain grower.
"The new Alaska wheat" he says,
has been proven to produce as fine
flour as the best No. l northern grown
in Minnesota We have tested it for
-four and for bread making qualities,
and 1t has stood every test. Grain
growers are intensely interested in our
experiments. and have been doubtful of
the hardness of the new wheat. / have
samples here in st. Paul which are re-
markable for their hard quality, the
size of the kernels, and the color and
excellence of the grain.

When they reached Sacramento the

They were, however, destined to have
their pleasure spoiled by the pest of

mia flea To the average Californian
il is nothing to stop on the street and
look for the evasive little one; but to
the company, who were all fasteners,
it seemed not only embarrassing, but
very improper; so they all went their
way suffering, to the delight of the
fieas at being left alone to their i'll
gotten meals. 1t was indeed very fun
ny to the westerners to see the entire
was stung. Mr. Phillips, who at this
time was standing in front of his ho-
tel, seemed quite undisturbed, when
one of the company slapped him on the
back. AS he did so he noticed a great
cloud of smoke rising out from under
Mr.. Phillips collar well, what on
earth have you got there?" asked the
surprised fellow member. Phillips said,
rather whimsically: why, that's in
sect powder; what do you use?" The

that the members of MAS New Hus-

creased sale of insect powder. At the

ADAMS PLEA OF POVERTY.
Counsel Asks Court for Order That
State Pay for Defendants
Witnesses.

GRAND JUNCTION. Colo. July l i.
"A petition Was presented today in
the Steve Adams trial by the counsel
for the defense, asking the court to
enter an order permitting the de-
Tense TO subpoena witnesses in the
case at the cost of the state, based
on the plea that the defense was
without money and unable to bear
the burden of this cost. The conn
sci stated that unless the state stood
this expense the defense would be
unable to produce the bulk of its
witnesses
The prosecution opposed the re-
quest. and the court took 1t under
consideration. Blank subpoenas have
already been issued for the witnesses
for the defense. but so far no record
has been made of the number of wit
nesses or their names When court
adjourned for the noon recess there
were II jurors in the box who had
been passed by both sides on the ex-
animation for challenges for causes.
The exercise of the right for peremp-
tory challenges. of which each side
has 50. resulted in the excusing of
four jurors up TO noon, two for the
prosecution and two for the defense.
1t is thought that several days ".
be consumed before a jury Is finally
made up.
