Susan's girlhood was spent in
her fathers home and in the
common school of her day, ex-
cept that when she was still a
girl she had to help out the
family finances by such work
as she could perform, and she
braided hats, made gloves, and
such light work. Later she re-
sided in Lowell, Mass, and
worked in a cotton mill. She
attended an academy at Ca

the topography is varied, rough
and level stretches alternating,
and a large area being under
laid with Ignite coal. The
wheat production of the state
for 1909 is about lOO,OOO,OOO bu-

about Is bushels per acre. Of
other products there will be of
flax in round numbers 2O,OOO,.

barley 20,000,00O bushels, pota-
toes 100000 bushels. Ignite

creamery products for this year
is about $6,OOO,OOO and of live
stock $5,OOO,OOO. The total value
of agricultural products pro-
duced for the year is over $780,
100000. The state is spending
on it's public schools over $4OO,
GOO a year, and the schools
have a land endowment worth
$5O,OOO,OOO. The cash value of
all the property in the state is
more than a billion dollars. The
conditions which tend to the
production of all this wealth
have been developed within a
generation. and most of the de-
velopment has been since the
admission of the state to the
union in 1889. Of the northern

Given Out By Grand Forks.

The Japanese, who are max

for educational purposes, visit

week and were royalty enter

following is taken from a book.
let given out by the Grand
Forks people:
The visitor who would right
ly estimate the development of
Grand Forks and the territory
of which it is the commercial
center must remember that
this development has been the
the work, not of centuries, but
of one generation. But yester-
day not even solitary cabin
masked the spot where the city
now stands. The plains on all
sides were vast solitudes, un-
broken save by the wandering
wild life of the primitive ages.
Without industry, history, ira
ditions. or the population to
make them possible, the terri
tory was equally without pros
poets, for it had been pronounc-
ed uninhabitabDe, incapable of
sustaining a civilized popula-
ton. What has been achieved
is the work of scare .ly thirty
years, and while much has
been done, only the fringe of
the possibilities has bee n
touched.
North Dakota is the first of
the great agricultural states
east of the Rocky Mountains.
1t has an area of 10000 square
miles, and of its 45,COO,OOO acres
probably 80 per cent will be
found fit for cultivation. The

A transla- ton of the entire name is: The SIX Barks of St. Augustine" Just what these parks are, or just what signifi- canoe they have when connected with the name Of the good saint, is mat ter which at present is a little ob- scure. But in the patOis Of American patent or proprietary medicine, a name such as "0ld DF. SnOokem's Sweet Swamp Root" might probably be equivalent But the character of Dr. McDonald's practice Is of not so much concern as the fact that he Is practicing at all.

After the pre- liminary announcement. the virtue of the medicine is extolled and the dis eases which it will cure aud prevent are given. It is not a panacea-only a near-ranacea-there still being a few diseases left for wh oh no claim of cure is made. After that comes recommendations, letters of introduc- ton, etc. given Dr. Wright. These are not dated and one. signed by "M. M. NeCord. governor of Arizona,~ in- dicates that some Of the letters may not be of the most recent origin.
 After thus making himself known, Dr. Wright issues a card to the pub l'c. summarizing the virtues of cas- caras and setting forth among other things. the medical and pharmaceuti- cal experience of pr.

This really is the most surprising feature of the circular. for, from one para graph. one Is forced to the conclusion that Dr. Mcdonald has been living "in our midst" all these years and hiding his light under an asbestos lined bushel.

DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
FRon DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL

Word was received yesterday from Kansas City that Stanley F. Mers, manager of the Tesero de Sonora Mining company. was leaving that city for the purpose of going to the property of the company on the Yaqui river. near Suaqui de Batuc, to start important development work. The company owns $50 acres of mineral ground about nine miles from Batuc in the state of Sonora, the property being known as the Wardwick ana La Nacional mines, the exact location being one miles from the YaQui river on the Buena Vista. Todos and Palma mountains at an elevation of 120o 70 5000 feet and the property covers an area of 10000 feet long and 1000 feet wide.
 It is believed that this Is a part of the old Todos Santos mine, worked over one hundred years ago by the antiguas.
 The general formation of the coun- try Is limestone, granite and porhpy- ". The ore bodies show where the limestone is Assured. The course of the Assures Is east and west.
 The trend of the principal veins of the Wardwick and La Nacional mines is almost due east and west, with numerous cross veins running north and south. These vs'ns are well de fined and vary in width from a few feet to apparently over one hundred feet as shown by the outcroppings.
 The ores are glance, oxides, sul- phides, carbonates and galena. The brown oxides carry values from to 2S per cent copper and 10 to 400 ounces silver perton, with from trace to one-half ounce gold. There is silver-lead vein on which the Antiguas worked that appears % feet wide and runs from 10 to 5S per cent lead, and from 15 to 800 ounces sil- yer. It Is estimated that the ores of the Tesoro de Sonora properties carry gold enough to pay all milling and smelling expenses,

DESTRUCTION AND
 DEATH OF TORNADO
Texas Towns Are Razed and Much Property Is Destroyed
 By the Storm

DALLAS. Tex, Mar. 25.-AdditiOn- al details of yesterdays tornado are coming in from the stricken district. The loss of life is not increased by later reports but tho damage to prop erty is growing in magnitude.
 Several small towns suffered seri- ous damage. The greatest loss of life occurred in the country districts. The destruction oi one farm house alone caused the death of eight persons. This single tragedy occurred near SIidell, the farm house of Ira Rice was crushed in by the furious wind and the family of eight members pin- ned beneath the wreckage. A lamp in the house at the time Of the disas- ter caused the ruins to become ig- nited. and fanued by a strong wind the flames snuffed out the lives of the helpless victims.
 The towns of Sanger and Green wood were bit and a number of houses were moved from their foundations. In this vicinity two farmers and two children of negro tenants were killed. ] At Grafton every business house save one was blown down. The Meth odist and Baptist churches were com pletely wrecked At Dan. also in Wise county near SIdell. two houses wefe destroyed. The Christian church a! 1 Greenwood was destroyed.

Sometimes one of the branchea of congress will agree to the conference report and the other will disagree. Either the house or senate may agree 10 3 part Of re- port and send the rest back for fur ther wrangiing.
