ROOSEVELT DEEP In
JUNGLE STAMPEDING
WILD ANIMALS

Naivasha, Sunday, July 49,
Theodore Roosevelt and his party had
not been expected to reach Saigai-Sai
before July 20, but having more success
in the Sotik and Guasonyiro country,
they decided to come to, the lake and try
for appropriateness with Capt. Atten-
boro, r. NJ, retired Of the Saigai-Sei
farm. The party made marches ever a
practically waterless route and once
they reacheda a water hole, they found
it was dry. The party had to go into
camp without water. It was found
here also that the food supply had al
most given out and Europeans and ma
tives alike had to go on half rations.
The party reached the farm July IL,
but found Commander Attenboro had
gone over to Naivasha for supplies. Mr..
Roosevelt, however, was not disturbed
by this, and the scientists were soon
busy with their guns killing birds and
mammals.
On the 14th the correspondent rode
rs miles on bicycle to the camp. Mr..
Roosevelt and Kermit were out in a
| launch hippopotamus shooting with
Commander Attenboro, his brother and
Mr.. Cunningham. The following day
| Mr.. Roosevelt, Kermit, the Attenboros
and Mr.. Cunningham went out in the
launch after hippopotamuses. Mr..
Roosevelt killed large hippopotamus
shooting it from frail boat the mo-
ment the beast was charging.
The scientists have bagged some
fine mammals, monkeys and birds, ane
Kermit has also secured his hippopota.
mus. Mr.. Tarleton rode into Naivashs
by moonlight a few nights later ant
was followed for some miles by fivt
lions. The route around the lake is in
tested with lions, and there is every
chance Of the party having some spor
when they come in.
Mr.. Tarletons has gone down t
Nairobi to arrange for the expedition
sssafari' out Of Kenia and Nyroi
The party will leave Nairobi Aug.
and expects to be away six weeks.

and Mr.. Wellman finally decided to
bring the airship down to the surface
of the water. This was effected with
out mishap and the car rested on the
surface of the water until all the
members of the crew, the dogs and the
scientific instruments could be
transferred aboard the Fran. A fresh
start was then made and the Ameri-
can was towed back TO the landing
stage and within a short distance of
where the start was made.
But the i'll luck of the expedi tion
was not yet at an end. Just as the air.
ship had reached the landing stage
and everything looked favorable for
it's rescue without serious damage,
sudden gust of wind caught the big
bag broadside on, and snatched it
away from the tow lines. It was car
ried, careening over rough ice hum
mock, some distance and it ex-
ploded. All the scattered parts Of the
airship were subsequently, recovered,
but the damage was SO great as to
preclude any future attempt TO fly
over the pole this year.
Mr.. Wellman will return to Nor
way next week. He says that the air.
ship was not seriously damaged and
can be repaired but thatany further at
tempts this year are impossible.
Plans for enlarging the balloon
house to accommodate longer and
more professional ship for further use
are on the way.
Walter Wellman made statement
with regard to his unsuccessful attempt
of yesterday to sail for the north pole.
s'Had not the guide rope broken, we
had an excellent chance OF reaching
the pole. We certainly made asgood
start with favorable weather.
''The America demonstrated her
strength, speed and adaptability to
this work. Had we not, through over
caution, given the atowline TO the
Fran, believe we could have landed
| the America safe in her house.
"I do not give up the fight, but
hope to reconstruct the America, en-
large it and try again, taking Aadvan-
tage of our somewhat varied and. ex-
tensive experiences. /"

DASH FOR POLE
HAS USUAL END
Various Accidents Tend To Make Failure of
Walter Wellman's Last Effort.

Camp Wellman, Spitzenbergen,
Aug. is, via .Hammerfest, Aug. 21-
Waiter Wellman's second attempt to
sail over the north pole in balloon
has resulted in a failure. The giant
dirigible balloon, America, in which,
Mr. sWellnan and his party set out,
proceeded about IS miles from the
starting point. Mr.. Wellman and his
party succeeded in making a safe
landing and returned to this point on
board the steamer Fran, which also
toWed in the disabled balloon.
After along preparation and wait
ing for favorable weather, the OPP
portunity came today and Mr.. Well
man decided to make the start. It was
10 o'clock in the morning when the
great airship was brought out of its
shed and the daring explorers took
their places in the car. When the
anchors were cast loose, the airship
aseended beautifully, the engines
were set in motion and everything
seemed to work to perfection. The big
air craft was u1aneuyered for some
time and answered the helm perfectly
Then it's head was turned northward
and it set out at a speed of Is miles
an hour.
Suddenly, after having covered
some 30 miles and when everything
5seemea to be going splendidly the
leather guide rope TO which was at
taehed a thousand pounds of provi-
sions and stores, broke away. The
accident occurred just as the airship
was nearing the pack ice off North
Spitzenbergen. Released from this
great weight, the airship shot upward
at a terrific pace until it was at a
great height above the clouds. The
pilot succeeded, however, in bringing
her down near the earth, turning her
about and set out to fight their way
southwark to the edge of the pack ice,
where the steamer Fran was anchored.
After much difficulty, tow rope
was gotten aboard the Fran, which
started Immediately to tow the air
ship to spiszenbergen. The strain was
so great, however, that it threatened
to tear that portion Of the balloon to
which the rope was attached to pieces

NATIONAL APPLE SHOW

The National Apple Show held at
Spokane in December, 1903, was a
remarkable success. So remarkable
was it that ii settled at once the
question Of a similar exhibit for
1909, and preparations for this are
already under way.
At the 1908 show there were
$35, 900 in premiums awarded and
there were more. than 100000 paid
admissions to the show. The best
carload exhibit Of apples obtained
a cash premium Of $1,000 and was
sold to a firm in Liverpool. This
carload Of apples was from Wena-
tchee, Wash. and contained $50
boxes, or $4,000 apples, and scored
964 points out of possible 100.
The other dayaa man in the Wena-
tchee country refused S4 900 an
acre for his five-acre apple orchard.
Like instances of these great prices
are found in the Yakima. lewiston
Charleston, Walla Walla, Bitteroot
and other fruit sections. The Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, British Col
umbia and Montana country is a
natural fruit region for other fruit
than apples. Cherries in Lewiston
Charleston this year are as large as
plums.
The value Of the fruit crop in the
INLAND Empire" of the first three
named states. in 1908swas $14, ,000,-
900. The state Of Washington alons!
has 100000 acres in orchards. most
of them young and not yet in bear
ing.
There are less apples raised in the
United States today than there were
Is years ago, and we are exporting
more Of them. In 1895 we produced
so, 900, 900 barrels and in 1908 23,-
| 900, 900 barrels of apples. In 1902 we
exported 2, 300, 900 bushels OF apples;
in 1907, 1900, 900 bushels.
The apple will soon be the nation
al fruit of America.
The Apple Show for 1909 will
eclipse anything Of the kind ever
seen. It will be held at Spokane, the
heart of the Northwestern fruit
country, probably in November OF
December, and it will be open to the
world. Apples from everywhere will
be on exhibition and it will not only
be an educational and inspirationa
sight, but will afford an opport tunlty
to compare the eastern, southern
and western apples, that Willsbe OF
untold value to horticulture. Apple
growers all over the country should
keep the National Apple Show fol
1900 in mind and arrange to have
exhibits prepared for competition

Hundred Million DoIlar Crep
Makes The Colorado Dry
Farmers Rejoice

This is the greatest agricultural
year in the history of Colorado. !"
writes c. r. Root of Denver. execu-
tive committeeman for Colorado and
member Of the board of governors
Of the Dry Farming Congress which
will hold its fourth session at Bill
ings. Montana. October 1928, 1909.
In recent editorial the Denver
News estimated the value of the
agricultural products Of the state
for this year at the astonishing to-
tai Of S11O,0OO,OOO. This editorial
further said:
The most remarkable increase is
shown in the dry farming regions.
There are counties in eastern Colo
rado which will harvest a crop this
year 500 per cent. greater than any
thing ever brought to the stack be-
fore. Much Of this phenomenal in
crease is due to the exceptionally
wet season, but much Of it, also, is
due to better understanding Of con-
ditions and a more careful prepara-
ton Of the soil.
In this last statement is acknoWl-
edgment Of the work of the Dry
Farming Congress. This organiza-
ton is devoted to inculcating know
ledge Of methods Of agriculture by
which non-irrigable arid lands can
be made productive. The Congress
has many members in eastern Colo
rado and we can justly claim credit
for giving the information to the
farmers which has enabled them TO
prepare their soil for crops and for
the better understanding Of condi-
tions which has resulted IN the re-
markable harvest Of the present
year.
Colorado will send large and
representative exhibit to the Inter.
national Dry Farm Exposition at
Billings, included in which will be
samples ofgthe products which are

Closing a Summer Home.

When closing a bungalow for the
winter many things must be thought
of in quick time if the house is to
be left in good order, safe from
mould and rust and dampness.
In the first place, there is great
danger of kitchen utensils, stove,
etc, rusting This may be entirely
obviated by putting coat of paraf-
fin over 1.-The exposed surfaces.
Brass may also be treated lin this
way A large lump of paraffin is
melted and poured over the sur
faces.
A pumping engine and any sort of
machinery may be preserved by re-
ceiving a coat of white lead.
Clothes should not be left hanging
in the closets, and all bed covers,
blankets, cushions, etc, should be
packed in trunks with moth balls.
Rugs should also be rolled up, after
they have been beaten and thor
oughly cleaned, and plates of cop
peras and water should be set about
in the various rooms No hangings
of any sort, cushions or divan Gov
ers should be left unstored through
the winter months.
Before it is closed the house
should be cleaned and aired thor
oughly Every particle of food must
be removed from the kitchen and
pantry if mice and reaches are t;
be avoided The plumbing pipes
should be scalded with I've and boil
ing water, especially the kitchen
sink, the tank emptied and the water
turned off.-New York World.

San BenitO Siftings
To The Herald.

San Benito, Texas, Oct. S.-The
rumors prevailing in this section now
indicate that the cabbage crop for
the coming year will command a
good price, and the farmers here,
taking this for granted, are putting
in a large amount of that article
Cabbage here last year grew well,
and the land produced a large ton
mage. Those who had a very early
crop did exceedingly well, and the
enormous price that was paid of $40
per ton induces the farmers here to
again plant this article, knowing that
if they get the price, they will have
the crop waiting, as the land here
is exceptionally good for cabbage.
The time for harvesting sugar
cane is also approaching, and the
outlook for the crop is good. All of
the cane that will be harvested here
this year will be used for replanting
other land, as seed cane. In addi-
ton to this several thousand tons
more have been ordered from other
places near here and seeded, and al
together there will be about 200
acres planted this season. This
with what is already planted will
bring the acreage of sugar cane here
this year close to two thousand
acres.
At the present, so far as your
correspondent can judge, there are
about thousand acres under clear
ing, and more contracts for this
work are being let all the time, as
homeseekers are coming in here
from all parts of the country all the
time. A lot of forage and other
small crops seem to be doing very
well, but the two above crops pre-
dominate Cabbage here this year
should be on the market about two
months earlier THAI last year All
