Earthquake Seamansnip" 10 which
are fecounted disastrous effects col

the ocean and the knowledge gained
by the recognition of the character
istic march Of events IN those de-
structiye yisltations Ia applied to|
reduce the risks 90 which shipping ~
exposed Ia these circumstances.
Earthquakes aud seismic sea waves
are divided into two general classes,
the nrst due 90 the sinking Of the
sea bottom aud characterized by n
withdrawal Of the water from tine
coast and harbors after the earth-
quake, TO be followed later by the
return OF "A great wave; the second
due to the uplift " the bottom and
characterized by the sudden rise OF
the sea without any previous with
drawal from the shore. Most OF the
great historical foundations, known
as tidal waves, have been due TO
waves OF the first class, and these,
being the most dangerous TO shipping
and maritime communities, are there
fore the most important TO mariners.
The characteristic march of events Is
as follows: First, an earthquake
shock; second, after u short interval,
the sea il noticed TO be draining away
from the harbor like an ebbinR tide,
laying bare the bottom where II Is
ordinarily deep enough To anchor
ships; third, after an interval OF an
hour or so the sea Is seen to be return
Ing as a mighty wave, washing every
thing before II aud straDding those
ships which have remained In the
harbor or near the coast fourth, hav'
ing once swept the shore, the sea may
again recede to nearly the sam,
extent as before, aud after about the
same interval Of time return again AT
second great wave. This periodic
movement OF the sea sometimes con-
tinues for many hours.
The lesson to be drawn from the
accumulated knowledge now TO ot
applied Is that vessels in port ut the
time ,of the occurrence OF an earth
quake should, II practicable, proceed
to sea, and this Is especially eDjoined
when the water is observed to be
draining out OF the harbor, On the
open ocean seismic sea waves are
not usually formidable.

BACK WARD. YET FORWARD.


1ndIanola Enterprise,
Give us wings that we may fly back
to those good old days before the Civil
War, when prosperity and happiness
were known on every hand, when our
every breeze waited the sweet odor OF
home raised meat In the roomy smoke
house, when our barns fairly groaned
beneath the weight OF their burdens
Of grain and hay; when the fat sleek
horses aud mules were happy on Mis-
sissippi grain and hay and our fat
porkers laughed at the good times we
were having,
Our stock is tired OF eating corn
cobs and corn stalks dyed with
copperas. and saw dustan cornshucks
ground into a fine meal and sold for
mashes. Their hungry looks and
bony bodies speak Ia thunder tones
OF our depravity and idlenesa and
they demand change.
Why does this condition exist
today?
Simply because our people have
gone daify after cotton and have neg
lecLed the real blessings this excel.
lent climate and soil have offered
them In solving tie problem of life,
happiness and prosperity.
We need to go forward by going
backward and again enter that era OF
living at home and being somebody
with an independence we have not
felt for years. We want a complete
turning about--a "right-faceh and q
uniform charge upon the enemy of q
one crop country.
Here lies field OF great Isefplnes'
to our Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union. A field for great
developments, field Of much promise
and brilliant hopes.

KNOX PROBLEM is SOLVED.
Salary OF Secretary OF State to be Re-
duced.

Washington. Feb. 1O.-Following
close upon the discovery that Senator
Philander G. Knox, Of Pennsylvania,
could not without violating a pro-
vision of the constitution Of the Uni
ted States accept the State portfolio
In the Taft cabinet, the senate today
took prompt action to remove the
constitutional objection.
Senator Hale introduced a resolu-
ton which was referred to commit
tee on the judiciary providing that the
salary Of secretary Of state be reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000, the figure at
which 1t stood before it was increased,
along with those of all other cabinet
officers two years ago.
In view of this resolution. Assist
ant Attorney General Russell, to
whom the question was referred in
formally for an opinion, held that If
congress restores the salary to what
1t was before Mr.. Knox entered the
senate ''the case falls outside the pur-
pose of the law and is not within the
law"
Senator Hale in discussing the situ-
alton said:
1t would be very serious If there
were no remedy, but there is a rem
edy in repeal Of the law increasing
the salary of the secretary of state,
and 1t will be Immediately applied.
The portion of the law applying to the
once OF the secretary Of state can be
cancelled by legislation, and as the
law was never intended to apply in
such case as that Of Mr.. Knox. there
Is no doubt that bill; with this end
IN view will be Immediately intro
duced and just as little doubt that II
will be passed."
Senator Hale said there is no
thought on the part of senator's of in
creasing the compensation of the sec
retary Of state after March 4. 1911.
when Mr.. Knox's term in the senate
would have expired and he served
until its close. He said it is the pur-
| pose of Mr.. Knox to serve throughout
the four years of the Taft administra-
ton at a salary Of $4,000 per annum.

"A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT
Cne OF the Weird Yarns From the
West

Inc most extraordinary tragedy
ever enacted on the desert took place
at Jake Fletcher's cabin on the banks
or the Ama%gosa, near Death Valley
on Christmas Day. The news has
just reached civilization, according TO
San Bernerdino, CAL, letter.
Fletcher had been doing well on his
claim until recently, when the vein
ran out. This left him without mon
ey to buy whiskey. Thomas Robbins
bosom friend, who was spending the
DAY at Fletcher's. proposed that they
Try dynamite jag. He said he had
read of Nixican miners getting drunk
oy eating dynamite when liquor had
failed.
fletcher was incredulous, but ex-
pressed his willingness to mako tbe
experiment. Between them they con-
sumed three sticks of dynamite dur
ing the afternoon and evening of
christmas Day and became loud and
ooisterous IN their demeanor. Fletch-
er was good natured and wanted to
sing, but Robbins was surly and quar-.
reisom, and the more dynamite he
consumed the more troublesome he
became.
This finally aroused Fletcher,s
wrath to such a pitch that he chal-
lenged Robbins to fistic duel. Rob-
bins was staggering slightly and
Fletcher finally shot left hook into
the mans ribs. Instantly there was
terrific explosion. The body of
Robbins shot through the ceiling as
though it had turned into d,namite
bomb. The conclusion induced by
Fletcher's blow had caused Robbins
to explode.
The tragedy instantly sobered
Fletcher, and he instantly called at a
neighbor's cabin where he told the
story and borrowed a lantern, saving
he intended to go that night to the
nearest peace officer and give himself
up Tor the crime of manslaughter. He
was deeply depressed, and this feel
ing of melancholy must have caused
him to alter is programme, for he
betook himself to the top of a peak
about mile away and threw himself
from that point into the ravine below.
Searchers found the shattered re-
mains Of Fletcher scattered about in
the boughs Of the willows that grew
near the head of the ravine. He had
landed in soft spot, but the con-
custom had been great enought to set
off the second charge of dynamite.
The miners buried what they could
find Of the two bodies, in one grave.
Since the death of Fletcher a miner
who went to work on his claim, re-
discovered the lost ledge and is taking
out ore that will run $97.9S in gold.
