Cause of the Trouble With Moors
at MeliIIa.

The immediate cause of the trouble
at Melilla, Morocco, which has cost
Spain so dear, occurred on July 8,
when some Moors laid an ambush at
the Spanish mines on the railroad near
Melilla for the purpose of making some
prisoners in order to exchange them
for Moors who had recently been ar
rested for an assault on a policeman.
-Four Of the miners were killed. There.
upon detachment of the Melilla gar
rison went out under General Marina
and routed the Moors, though not
without difficulty, as the bayonet had
to be used, and the Spaniards lost
twenty-nine killed and wounded.
Spanish Mines Raided.
The remote cause of the Melilla trou-
BILE dates back about year and a half,
when two Spanish mining companies,
one of them operated with French cap.
ital, began work at a point about tif-
teen miles from Melilla under the pro-
lection of Roghi Kaid. who then was
supreme in that region. In October of
last year the tribes revoltcd, defeated
Roghi and raided the mines, which
then ceased work. The Spanish gov
eminent proceeded to protect them;
but, although some of the tribes did
not object, others were hostile and the

Tho farmer whose farm Ia enclosed
by fences supported by thousands
OF posts under conditions especially
favorable to decay should observe
the conmonest common sense OF
economy. He should creosote his
fence posts and thus double Or
tribe their durability. Tho labor
expanding upon the setting of three
posts will practically pay for q
new one. If by soaking posts in a
preservative on rainy days he can
not only save the cost of this labor
but the cost of two new posts i.
should look to him like ready money
why doesn't he look at 1t?
The life of almost any wood can
at least be doubled by thorough I'M
prcgnation with creosote or zinc
chloride. This alone means a great
saving, both in the original cost of
tho timbers and in the labor of re-
placing them. But better yet, cheap
woods we'll treated are just as good as
the valuable and naturally durable
but untreated. Then cottonwood. viii
low. spruce, ledgepole pine. or Jack
pine can be used in place of cedar for
posts; birch, hemlock. or tamarack in
place of oak for ties: and in every case
the treated substitute will last longer
than the wood commonly used and VIII
cost less.
Why doesn't the Iowa farmer take
advantage Of the willow and raise MS
own fence posts?

ton to Navy Department.

Washington, Sept. IA novel prop
osition is presented to the navy de-
partment concerning the silver punch
bowl purchased by the state OF Mich
igan for the new battleship bearing
that name.
A citizen OF Detroit thinks the best
purpose the bowl could serve would be
for Michigan people to All 1t with a
purse containing one thousand silver
dollars every year, to be divided up as
prizes among the high record men OF
the battleship at the end Of the target
season. The result would be, he thinks
to stimulate efforts in target practice
and be an incentive for good marks
men to seek service on the vessel.

Under the treaty Of 1860 between
Morocco and Spain the sultan is under
obligation to furnish regular troops for
the protection Of the Spanish posses

But he has never done this. and when
Spain recently sent Minister Merry del
Val to Fee to call Mulai Hatid's atten-
ton to this fact the sultan not only
refused to listen. but insulted the min
lister. He refused to acknowledge the
mining concessions at Melilla and also
demanded that the Spaniards with.
