Geronimo was the war chief of the
Apaches. He was captured with his
band at Skeleton Canyon, Ariz., %
years ago, after soldiers had pursued
him for months.
It is q curious coincidence tn at news
of Geronimo's death was sent out from

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made Of Adobe In BoIivia-Growing
Trees Used In Africa,

The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from the cap
ital Of Bolivia, La Paz, to the town Of
Oruro. In this part Of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is so
difficult to find that eve the ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
invariably made not of wood, but of
dried mud or adobe.
SO when the war broke out between
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen for the Queerest telegraph poles
In existence. These pillars We're built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
a height Of about fifteen feet.
They were placed at intervals Of
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at a height sufficient to clear the only
animals Of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length Of the
line was 1856 miles.
Among other curious telegraph lines
Is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by IN English engineer, who

would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea of transporting grow
ing bark cloth trees to the side Of the
roads and using them as poles.

Dixon Charges Extravaganza

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Senator
Dixon of Montana. provoked sharp
criticism of naval methods IN the sen.
ate when he referred to magazine
articles making special structures upon
construction at the navy yard. He
quoted an article charging that ten or
twelve members of the naval affairs
committee Of the senate and house
had navy yards in their states.
Mr.. Clapp said if the senate contin-
ued to protest against these appro-
priations without cutting them down,
the aggregate would continue to in
crease.
Mr.. Hale declared the appropria-
.tions for navy yards were not large,
saying that while in fourteen years the
United States had spent S51, O15, 064 on
such works, Great Britain spent $685., =
9S7, $50 on its navy yards.
In this bill only 81, 4e4 900 he said
was for the navy yards. 1t was true,
he admitted there were but two or
three of the yards that could dock the
&c, 0OO.ton battleships provided for in
the pending bill, but that was because
the new world had never an idea that
there would be such great ships.

position to the plan for providing
homes for the people and the trans
formation of the desert into q garden,
will pass away.
There are doubtless many measures
that should be provided for increasing
the efficiency of the navy, and like.
wise there are many things that should
be- done for encouragement of agricul-
ture in the great west, and for the rec
lamation of lands now fit only for
grazing. Americans are proud of the
navy with its Deweys and its "Bob"
Evans, but the time will come when
the west. especially such states as
Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska,
will also pay honor to such men as
Campbell who have studied the prob.
lem of agriculture In a region deficient
in rainfall and have evolved systems
of scientific agriculture which enable
the settler, by due regard to the con-
serv alton of moisture, to raise crops
which are the surprise and admiration
of scientific agriculturists every where.
