BOYS MAKE THEIR
own CRANBERRY BOG
Waste Land Turned to Use Promises
TO Net Big Returns In
Few Years.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. Aug. 10
Two immense artificial cranberry boys
are now being constructed in East
Bay township by novel means. The
undertaking is that of Ray and w. F.
jackson. two students of the engineer
ing department of the I'm versity of
Michigan. and success is practically
assured The boys wtil have no less
than 30 acres of bog that will produce
the famous Walton berry.
The young engineers have all but
accomplished the task by buying the
land around three small lakes. one of
which is 40 feet higher than the other.
The water of one lake is channeledl
into hin and the Quiet on the oppo-
site side is through sections of 1O-inch
pipe. The flowing of the water carries
great amount of sand and gravel
from the hill and fills it into low
place, thus creating a bog of 10 acres.
Set Out the Berries.
When in the fall the water is al
lowed to flow into the bog which is
dammed at egch end, IL will be al
lowed to remain rtil it has given the
entire arr ! sufficient dampness and
then it will be drained off to another
and larger tract OF land and thus Gre
ated into cranberry bog. The geo.
graphical lay OF the lard is such as
to make the project entirely feasible.
The work is now so far along that the
transplanting of the cranberry plants
will commence this month 1t re-
quires several years for the plants to
get into full bearing, but they make
ir,,n of
menced to bloom. The Walton berry
is said to yield from 200 to 500 BUSH
els per acre and the prices range
from $500 to $500 a barrel
When it is considered the fact that
the land forming the boys was moth
ing short of waste acres the value of
the undertaking may in a measure be
understood. 1t required the purchase
of $50 acres to make the project pos
sible of accomplishment.

Not President Taft, but the little
group of insurgent republicans in the
senate are the popular heroes of the
long fight for tariff revision down
ward.
There is no wisdom in closing ones
eyes to the fact that the tariff bill as
enacted. does not measure up to the
promises Of the party or the expecta-
lions of the public. 1t is damned by
the unaltered and arbitrary wool
schedules and by other manifest con-
cessions to special interests True
there are some important reductions,
but it is not likely that these will
cause noticeable decrease of the
average cost of living.
Although the democrats voted
against the bill on final passage,
enough of them voted with the Aid
rich and Cannon group on the vari-
Gus schedules to insure the success Of
the program. When Aldrich or Can
non needed democratic support he got
it. And the recreant democrats who
supported the program got their
share of the pie.
But the little group of republican
insurgents in the senate supported by
such democrats as Gore, fought the
consumers battle valiantly and con-
sistently. They voted against every
bad schedule and against the whole
bin in its final form. They did not
win the fight in congress, but every
man of them won the admiration of
the nation.
The battle over the tariff showed
10 the country the need of a new
party. There is no longer any real
C.4e~ence between republicans and
democrats. Such democrats as Sena-
soI McEne.y of Louisiana belong in
the same pa,ty with Ald"'oh and Can
non. nd such republicans as Bever-
iige, Bristow and Douvor belong in
the same party with Gore. There is

Sioux Indians, grown tired OF the joys

to count"y n which they MAJ return
to the primitive condition of existence
before the comirg of the white men
a country in which they can live with
out work or at least with the mini

The movement has been under way
for many months but was made pub
lie only last week when an o-nissary
of the discontinued Indians returned
from Nicara qua with the news thai
President Zeleya of that country had
granted the Sioux an immense body
of land upon which they may come
and live according to the ancient GUS
toms of the tribe.
The lands granted them are in a
wild state and are so high up the
mountains that the climate ap-
proaches that of the present Sioux
country. All kinds of game bs said
to abound and, except for the absence
of the bufslo, the indians can live
the primi,xe life of the early Sioux.
Will Fight Tor New Land.
In return for the BIZ tract OF land
granted them the Indians have agreed
to take the field and fight for Zelaya
whenever called upon to do so by him,
and hereafter when eu overambitious
Spaniard starts a revolution against
the reign of Zelava his embryo army
will run up against a body of the
fiercest and best fighting Indians on
the North American continent. Many
of these braves fought with Sitting
Bull, Gall and Red Cloud, and while

acres in the steal, but the railway had
issued bonds covering the other $40,
and it would have been inconvenient
to deed it back. A bond is a sacred
thing, you know. We have to be mer-

To be sure, If John Smith FORCES a

to make short work of the fake mort

for he is a great lawyer. But the
principle is different Vastly differ

ence-why, in one case it is the land
of the people that was stolen and
mortgaged, and the stealer and mort
gagor was a railway company. and
in the other case it was just an or
binary person that did the deed!
That's the difference!
OF course, Wickersham will 60 on
with the investigation. So the rail-
ways that have stolen lands had bet

or they may have to give them back

'Since justice be thy plea, consider

They were putting in stuffed claims
| against the railway companies for
lost freight" and damaged ship

ing them like little men. The little
packers that could not get such
claims" allowed were in an awful
hole in competition with the rebaters.
But Wickersham, after he had them
dead to rights and on the way to Jail,
let the packers go. He said that he
didn't believe there was any criminal
intent. 1t was a practice that had
grown up, and the absent-minded beg
gars of packers had forgot to quit it,
| SO he told them he would let them
off, but they had better not let him
catch them at it again. They will try
not to.
Someone has pointed out the fact
that the packers had been prosecuted
| and convicted for the same things
years ago; but Wickersham is too
merciful to let that make any diff
ference. They meant no harm in the
last case, anyhow. With Wicker
sham the quality of mercy is not
strained. 1t droppeth like a cloud

nished by her lecture, the spirit OF
which, one could not fail to recognize,
was in many ways akin to the teach
ing which is now popularity associated
with the City Temple.
Larger View of History.
At the outset of her lecture Mrs. Be-
SAINT took a view of history which
she regarded as larger and wider,
more suggestive and more pregnant
than any which have yet obtained.
This was to regard history as the story
of the gradually unfolding spirits that
find their dwelling in human bodies,
to trace out the stages of their growth
to show how one great cycle of time
succeeds another, howone age begins,
then closes, and with it's close the be-
ginning of another age is seen; and to
show that history gradually presents
itself to the mind as succession of
ages in the growth of human kind,
each one marked out by distinct char
acteristict The dazzle of an age that
is closing, very often blinds the human
eye to the gentler tints of the dawn
of the new race just breaking upon
the horizon.
The Christ in Judea.
Yet it was on those closing days of
power of the Roman Empire and the
dawning days of the Teutonic race
that the great Prophet whose religion
was to dominate the world came. For
the Christ came in Judea. He mark
ed the closing of the old world that
was then passing away. He marked
the opening of the new world which
then was just beginning, as it were, to
unfold it's petals to the light; and He
gave a religion which was gradually
to inspire new civilization, re-
ligion which was destined to do great
things-the first of which it has done,
and the second of which there are
signs it will do.-Brighton Herald,

FAMOUS GLACIER
AGAIN VISIBLE
Muir Ice Filed Can After Nine Years
Again BE Approached BY
Alaska Steamers.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 10
After hiding it's massive crevassed
face for nine years, the celebrated
Muir glacier in Ala9.,a has come into
view once more. In Seattle 1t Is said
in jest that this wonderful event was
timed so that visitors to the EXPOSE
ton might have side trSp of splendid
charm.
An imaS native man at Sitka says
that a Subterranean earthquake
brought the great 400 miles of ice into
view agar, but the captains of the
steam boats wnich pr to Glacier bay
have simpler explanations. They state
that through some peculiar drifting of
the ice they are now enabled to eau
tiously poke the noses OF their vessels
through lanes of berss until their pas
sengers can get a glimpse of the left
face of the most famous glacier in
America.

Underwent Changes.

During the time this glacier was in
accessible it underwent remarkable
changes, as those who visited it then
and now bear witness. In the early
nineties t was much alive; now part
of it seems dead. It has divided into
portions-one from which huge bergs
break with thunderous reverberations,
the other dead, with land forming be-
tween it and the sea. Erosion has
worked out d new bay that is soon to
be charted.
When Muir explored the glacier he
q scovs red what he presumed was the
top of a hill projecting through the
ice. This has developed into large
mountain dividing the fields. The ice
also has rcce1ed at least four miles ir
the nine years the glacier has been
hidden.
Although the Muir glacier is said to
have an area of 401 miles only about
100 miles have been explored.
