Splendid PfOgrGsS.

The Board of Trustees Of the A
4 Nj. College were in session Tuesday
night and received the report of Di-
rector G. B.. Williams of the Expert
ment Station. his report that the
past year has been marked by great
activity along all lines of work at
the Station. The Investigations that
are being carried on are planned so
that the results will have direct prac-
teal bearings upon problems pertain
ing directly and Indirectly to the
farm. Different fertilizer combina-
tons are being studied under control
conditions in order to determine what
ones are best suited from q financial
point to the leading crops grown in
the State. Many carriers of differ
ent fertiiiZing constituents are being
studied comparatively to ascertain
their relative value as sources of plant
food.
Some attention is also being de-
voted to a study of the most econo-
mical quantity of fertilizing mixture

especially cotton and corn. Field
tests are being made this year Of fiji
tN-IVe varieties Of corn, thirty-nine
OF cotton, ~thirty-One of cowpeas; sew
enteen Of soy beans, twenty-four Of
oats and fourteen Of wheat to deter
mine their relative value as yielders
when grown under the same condi-
tons.
Selection breeding experiments
were reported as under way with
wheat and cotton with the object in
View of securing better strains of
these crops in point Of yield and quail
ity.
Lettuce drop is a disease which
entails thousands of dollars of loss
annually to the truck growers of this
and other States. The Station has
been studying the nature and cause
OF TINS disease in the laboratory for
some time. Last year without the
use OF preventive measures, more
IMAM fifty per cent of the lettuce in
cold frames was destroyed before at
tanning marketable size, while this
past spring, by observing certain pre-
CAUTIONS based upon knowledge of the
disease secured in laboratory studies,
no evidence of the trouble developed
IN the lettuce beds.

GREAT LOSSES IN
 FOREST FIRES

Washington, October 24-Six billion board feet of lumber valued at about s15, ,OOo,o 900 were destroyed in the recent fires on the national forests in Montana and northern Idaho. The total area burned over in one district was put at 1.25o.OOO acres.
 The first rough estimate of the fire losses in the great district was completed today by officials of the forest service It shows that the heaviest losses were in two Idaho forests, the Occur d'Alene where 100000 board feet of timber were reported killed or destroyed and over 45O,O0O acres burned over, and the Clear water, where one billion feet was killed and 3O0OO0 acres burned over. Other heavy losses were Helena national for est Montana, 5OO,0OO, GOO feet; cabinet for est, 400, OG0,000 and Lolo forest ,O0( feet
 How much of the six billion feet which was either killed or burned in Montana and northern Idaho can eventually be salvaged it is of course impossible tc predict. If 1t were a total loss, and if its stumpage value were put at the aver age price at which national forest timber was sold last year, 1t would be the equiv alent of money loss of about s15,000,000 It is believed that the summers fires either burned up or killed between and per cent of the total stand of for est timber. At the present rate of cut ting from the national forests six billion feet is equal to 12 years supply, but it is less than one-sixth of single years cut in the entire country, or enough to keeI all lumber mills busy for something un' der two months.

He denied that Foraker in any way represented the republican party and declared For

 ment. He says 1t is unrepublican; that 1t is treason and traitorism. 'Tn blunt words. his speech was the plea of a man representing the spe- clal interests against which the great progressive wing of the republican party has set its face and Is fight ing. If it Is treason to bring cor porations under a sovereignty that will compel them to obey the law, then there are millions of traitors in this country and I am proud to be one of them.

RUSSIA WILL NOT
 ARB|TRATE CLAIM Standard Oil Company Loses Cargo of Ship JAPANESE WAR CASE Steamer Was British and Laden With oil Owned By an American Con-
 cern and Captured During
 the Recent War

St. Petersburg, October 24.-The Russian government has declined the English pro, posal to arbitrate the steamer Oldhamia dispute and the American request for compensation for the cargo on the ground that the decision of the Russian courts that the cargo was contraband was final.
 The British steamer Oldhamia was cap- tured by the Russians on May g, 1905 during the Japanese war. while bound foi Yokohama with a cargo of kerosene con. signed to American citizens.
 On May 27 the Oldhamia was recap. tured by the Japanese during the battle of the Sea of Japan and taken to Sazebo where her cargo was sold The con. signors and the British owners of the vessel in July, 1905, placed their case ir the hands of an attorney of St. Peters. burg, who was empowered to ask the prize court to act as adjudicator as under the Russian procedure in the absence o1 the report of the captors the owners must bring proceedings before the prize court.
 At the preliminary investigation by the Russian government in answer to the rep. resentatives of the British government fl was stated that the capture of the Old hamia was because of the presence oi contraband, either shells or machinery in her cargo, the uncertainty being due to the similarity of the Russian words describing these objects. The prize court at Vladivostock made the first investiga. tion, but the case was eventually trans ferred to the prize court at Lbiau 1T order to facilitate the representatives on behalf of the British and American owners of the cargo which was valued al $123.000 and was the property of the Stand ard oil company.
 The prize court decided that the steam CT carried no explosives and found in favor of the American consignors of the cargo and appointed arbitrators to de- termine the damage done This was not satisfactory to the Manchester and Sal ford Shipping company, the owners, and the Standard Oil company, who demanded total compensation of s500,000 and ap- piled to the supreme prize court of Rus sia The court rejected the appeal and gave the Standard oil company only the right to take legal steps to recover the cost of the empty cases.

UNKNOWN MAN IS ; FOUND IN WEEDS
DER-sKULL IS FRACTURED AND THERE IS EVERY EvIDENC CE THAT HE WAS ROBBED

' An unidentified man whose name is supposed to be T. J. Alexander was found yesterday afternoon lying in an uncon- scious condition, with his skull fractured, in some high weeds near the city trash pile, at Sixteenth street and Tenth ave- nue.
 From all appearances the man had been robbed the night before, as two of his pockets were turned inside out, piece of his watch chain hung in his button hole with the watch gone, and pay en- velope bearing the name ''T. J. Alexan- der'' and "s2460' lay torn open close by his side. There is evidence that the man was struck by an iron brake shoe from a freight car, which was also found near at hand. The man, who was taken to St. vincent's hospital by Shaw & Sons was said to be of small size, about feet 6 inches high, with black mustache and black hair, and blue eyes. His clothes would indicate that he is a workingman.

A Fall From the Sky
From the Century Magazine.

From the Century Magazine
 The one question we are asked every where. even to this day. just as we were asked 1t on the roof at Friedenau, is How did it feel to fall third of mile in a balloon?" If you want to know how it felt to pass through the experience we did, think first of what we had to do We had to move a ton of sand out of the car, and we had to do 1t in less than two minutes and half. If you want to know how that feels, go down into the cellar and move a ton of coal from one side to the other while some one holds a watch and tells you when two minutes and a half goes bys, Then try to see how much you have felt and remembered while you were doing 1t. It will give you a better idea If you move the coal while you are in state of intense, vivid mental concentration, compressing years, as it were Into, moments. If we had had but those two and a half minutes for the rest of our lives, as it looked at first, they would have been at least very good measure.
