Office OF a merchant friend Of his in
Chinatown. He was resting on a leath-

week. having taken very little sleep
while doing detective work in this city
and elsewhere.

His Tactics Exposed.

He employed the same tactics, which
enabled him to cheat his Chinese friends
cut Of 5000 to $1,000 in the restaurant
be had opened at Fort George. It was
his custom to get about four Cinnamon
together, telling them he had a splendid
chance TO open a restaurant in neigh
borhood where there would be plenty OF
custom He would tax each man 500
Then unknown TO these partners he
would gather together another group Of
Cinnamon, to whom he made similar
proposal. In ali he would thus raise
several thousand dollars on his venture.
Much OF the evidence IN this. extra
ordinary case has been gathered by
Guam Wick Nam, a wealthy merchant
Of Chinatown, TO whom the officials OF
the police department accord the highest
praise for his shrewdness, ability and
Imtfring energy which he has devoted
tow ard fathoming the mystery.
Guam Wick Nam IS the proprietor OF
q large china and tea importing house,
at Il Pell street. He IS also the head OF
TWO ginseng exporting firms. lie Is q
wealthy man, who announces that he
IS deteru ined at whatever cost TO re-
move from the Chinese In this country
the odium that tie crime has cast up
on them by running down the murderer
and MS cOnfederates.
To this ne is backed by other influen-
tiaI merchants OF Chinatown and San
employed on special duty by the police
department as an Interpreter IN import
ant cases In this instance, however,
as ne said last night he is using his
own money IN defray ing the expenses OF
his work.

accepted the suit cases, but he was sus-

pretext that ne had no room for il.
While Leon was trying TO persuade the

dispatch.

4 Profitable North Dakota Dairy
Rotation. ......

| Notation. ....-
There is growing demand thruou
this state for a rotation that shall
supply proper feed for the produc.
ton Of milk, while not forgetting the
necessity Of a cash Crop on the farm
Such a rotation IL the following:
Wheat, wheat, cora, eaes and peas
This rotation is lacking in that II
has no provision for clover, but the
peas answer in large degree the
same function in so Tar as the gath
ering nitogen for the soil Is con-
oerned, and the oat-pea hay is reck-
oned one OF the best possible feeds
for the production Of milk. This
crop is sown at the rate OF about one
ibushel Of oats to the acre, together
with a bushel and one half Of field
pease. The latter are a little ex-
pensive on the start, but once you
have your seed the cost is not felt.
Average returns from the demonstra-
ton farms OF this state show $500
lbs. as the average crop this season.
In this rotation there is plenty Of
cash crop, and the corn may be turn
ed into cash producing crop equal
to or often better than wheat by feed
ing it in the late fall and early win
ter. II silage is made Of the corn
crop it simplifies the matter very
much, but where there is no chance
for ensilage the fodder corn makes
excellent feed. In this rotation the
manure goes onto the land before the
ground is plowed for corn the corn
is checkrowed both ways, and thoroly
cultivated, blowing runs from five to
seven inches deep and there is no
bare fallow. : 49,

MAKES kNoTTY POINT IN LAW.
Owners of Property Have Right TO For.
bid Flight of Airships.

A law framed thousands OF years
ago by the ancient Romans. and the
only one bearing on the subject may
have to be amended or wholly nulIified
before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet will
This important fact was brought out
at meeting OF aeronauts in London.
At present nobody has the right to fly
across occupied land The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
"UsQue ad Coelum." It means that
every landowner has a right to the air
above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
ton to restrain anyone from flying
through It. SO far nobody has attempt
ed to put the law in force. 1t would
be most uncomfortable, not TO say dis
astrous. for a farmer suddenly to
emerge from his barn or smokehouse
and pepper ones arsht0 with bunets.
The fact that the aeronaut from his
lofty perch could not be expected to
see the NO Trespass" sign might not
prove a mitigating circumstance with
the rural magistrate.

Chicago, March 12.-WHEAT-Ad-
vanced more than two cents today
Half of the days gain was made on
initial transactions. The demand was
general owing to the advance at Lily

decrease of nearly two million bush-
els in the Argentina supply and small
er exports for the week from the coun-
try than had been predicted.
The bull leaders gave the market
active support. This led to free Gov
erings by shorts in general Reports
of damage to the French crop, claims
that the Balkan situation again be-
coming acute and reports alleging
enormous export sales from this coun-
try were factors that further strength

HIGH IN CIVILIZATIONS SCALE.
Unknown Peoples Of America Who
Have Perished Utterly.

Between the region occupied CT old
by the A2tees and the realm far to the
south over which the Incas ruled lies
an immense stretch of territory, a
thousand miles long and 500 wide.
where the remains OF unknown and
wonderful civilizations are being dis.
covered. says writer in Van Nor
dens Magazine. This region extends
from the northern boundaries of Peru
to the southern limits of Costa Rica.
In one section alone along the coast
OF Ecuador six entirely unknown ciyili-
cations were recently brought to light
by Prof Marshall II. Sayille. and a
vast collection of relics has been
brought to New York. This collection
is to be the nucleus of a great Amer
lean museum, which will represent
the history of ancient peoples who at
tanned an extraordinarily high degree
OF civilization, yet whose very exist
ence has been hitherto lost in an
tiquity.
The famed marble chairs of Rome
at its zenith were not more symmet-
rical or beautifully carved than those
of one of these unknown civilizations.
No pottery of any other ancient race
was more dellcately patterned than
that found in vast quantities, as
numerous almost as pebbles, on the
sites where these extinct peoples
dwelt. Their cloth was of truly mar
yelous weave; in beauty OF design,
richness of color and fineness Of tex
ture no fabric of to-day surpasses it.
