ONE HUNDRED CITIZENS HELP
LeaVennorth Business Men and Citizens
Turn Out to Dig SnowsIide
from Railroad

In order TO help open the road and
get into communication with Yelling
ton, over one hundred OF the citizens
of Leavenworth, including many bust
ness men, turned out last Friday morn
ing and went up the canyon to help
clear the Great Northern track OF snow
so that communication could be estab-
lished between this point and Cascade
tunnel, at the west portal of which the
great slide OF March 1st, in which more
than one hundred people were killed
and one and a half million dollars
worth of property were destroyed. The
company had some fifty or more labor
ers and an engine to help clear the
track. The railroad men say that the
volunteers did more work than the men
employed by the company. A full
day was put in Friday and on Saturday
morning the same crowd was on hand
and worked until about two in the
afternoon at which time the road was
opened as far as Merritt. From one
and half miles west OF town to the
bridge on the Wenatchee river, eleven
miles from Leavenworth, the roadbed
was almost covered with slides. Some
of them were slight, but others were
from ten to fifteen feet deep.
Many men who had not done hard
days work in years returned with blis-
tered hands and lame backs. AS near
as can be obtained, the following is a
list of the names OF the townspeople
who turned out TO help the Great
Northern railway open the road:

Sensational Disclosures Promised
now at home.

Sensational disclosures, says Seattle
dispatch, will be made at the inquest
over the bodies OF the victims of the
Wellington avalanche. The coroner
has rented a large hall for the purpose
Of holding the inquest and it will be
made as public as possible. Among
the points that it is said will be brought
will be that the passengers implored
the trainmaster to send force OF 125
men to Scenic for the purpose of lead
ing snow-imprisoned men, women and
children to places OF safety. Other
testimony, it is said, will be offered
tending TO show neglect on the part OF
the Great Northern in providing for the
safety OF the passengers.

H. T. Hansen and Walter Hellan
returned Tuesday from Wellington
where they went to view the slide from
the point OF forest rangers. Their OBJ
servation confirms the belief that slides
are more likely to occur where the
mountains have been denuded of tim
Der by being burned over. Grown
trees and particularly thick growth Of
brush and young trees tend to prevent
slides. Where the Wellington slide
occurred the mountain side is perfectly
bare, having been burned over many
years ago.

Many Spokane real estate firms have
representatives in the middle states and
the eastern sections arranging for spec
ial cars to bring actual land buyers to
the northwest, taking advantage of the
special and homeseekers' rates in effect
until April Is. During the spring
months the systems have also arranged
for numerous excursions, giving an ex-
ceptionally low rate to Spokane.
The usual stopover privileges have
been provided, and the limitations set
far enough apart to give the home
seeker or land buyer an opportunity to
look over the field.
Realty concerns of Spokane have
been active for the last six months stir
ring up the east and middle west with
literature setting forth the growth and
possibilities of the state Judging from
the many favorable replies received the
travel this way for the coming season
will be exceedingly heavy.
The Great Northern, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railway, the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad
& Navigation company have opened up
bureaus of information in the far east.
Lecturers have been employed, and
moving picture films thrown on screens
TO give the interested easterner some
conception of the northwest.
Opinions of passenger traffic men of
Spokane indicate that the population
OF the state will be materially increased
as a result of the favorable outlook.

Mesopotan1ia.

It has always seemed a most ex-
traordinary thing that the land be-
tween the Tigris and the Euphrates,
which was the seat of the greatest
empires OF the ancient world, and
which shared with the Nile Valley the
distinction of being the richest
corn-growing land, should have for so
many centuries laid desolate and
waste But the natural richness of
the soil is not the only factor in the
fertility Of the land. Even more
than Egypt it was dependent on care
full and scientific irrigation, and in
the days Of the great sovereigns OF
Babylon the canals were most strict
ly and jealousy guarded. But when
the ancient empires finally fell the
canals and irrigation works were neg
lected and left uncared for, with
the result that in a few years time
the sand of the desert and the weeds
choked up the waterways, and the
land relapsed into desolation. But the
new ministry at Constantinople has
awakened to the Importance Of the
matter, and Sir William Willcocks,
the famous engineer, who wrote
most valuable monograph on the
Babylonian canals a few years ago,
has been intrusted with the work.
The total cost of the work on the
Euphrates is estimated at quarter
OF a million of Turkish pounds, OF
which 100000 will be spent in the
first year. For such an absurdly
small sum can the desert be once
more turned into fertile land.-Lon.

Tho Traffic OF London.

The report Of the Board OF Trade
on London traffic brings out two
facts especially, the first Is that
travelling is increasing much moro
rapidly than the population. and the
second that once again the facilities
TOT travelling are coming to stand
still. The fact that travelling is in
creasing in a higher ratio than tho
population is accounted for by the
outward movement OF the population
The facilities which have been af.
forded in the last five or six years
have encouraged people to live furth-
er afield, and consequently to rely
to much greater extent on trains,
trans and npibuses. Few people
now Live within walk of their bust
nesses, and II they do, they seldom
walk. This Is a point which might
have been mentioned in the report.
Ten years ago people used to walk
II they had only a short distance to
go, but now they either take a taxi
cab or a motor bus, and excuse them
oCiNOo Wy CiLC vi IiAhO eAAoS -
fected The outward movement OF
the population, and the habit of rid
ing for the shortest distances have,
between them, caught up the increas-
ed facilities provided by the motor
buses, the taxicabs, and the electric
tubes, and the provision Of facilities
has now ceased to increase at any
thing like the rate of the last six
years. Railway enterprise is almost
at standstill, and this is not sur
prising. considering the heavy rates
and the unfair competition introduce
ed by municipal trans. But that
tramway extension is also falling Off
is more surprising. The widening OF
the streets will probably be the next
direction in which relief will be
sought.-London Globe.

Last Survivor of Seminole War.

John w. Roache celebrated his
eighty-ninth birthday recently. Mr..
Roache, so far as is known, is the
only survivor OF the Seminole War,
in which 10000 soldiers took part.
He is in fine health and as vigorous
as he was Thirty years ago.
Mr.. Roache had an exciting and
perilous career in the Florida
swamps. He served under Col. Worth
and was one of those who took a
leading part in the capture OF Goa
Coo-hee, famous Indian warrior
chief in THE Florida Iswamps in
those days.
His regiment went to Florida,
marching from Palatka to Tampa, a
distance of 100 miles. With his COM
rades in arms Mr.. Roache spent two
months In the Florida swamps, suf-
fering untold hardships and for three
days going without mouthful Of
food. With others he helped bury

CULTURE OF RICE
GROWING INDUSTRY.
PRODUCTION In the United States
ifas Risen to 100000
Pounds in Recent Years.

The growth of rice production in
'ne united States, from an average
OF less than 100000 pounds per
annum few years ago to 608,000,-
oO0 In 1908, lends interest to study
Just made by the Bureau of Statistics
Oh the Department of Commerce and
LABOR or the markets offered for this
particular commodity in the various
sections Of the world, and especially
IN countries commercially adjacent to
the United States.
The production of domestic rice in
the recent period greatly exceeds the
consumption of both domestic and
foreign rice in the earlier period, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. Imports of
rice into the United States Oncluding
rice flour, meal and broken rice)
ranged during the last twenty years
from 100, 100000 to 100000, 900,
while the domestic production about
equalled the imports, making CATER
deducting the small exports of that
period) an average annual consump-
ton ranging from 250,000,000 to
400,000,000 pounds.
The worlds market for rice, meas
uring this market merely by the i'm
ports of the principal countries of the
world. amounts to from 100000
to 200,000,000 per annum. The
worlds rice crop is estimated in very
round terms, at 75,OOO,OOO,OOO
pounds per annum. Rice forms the
chief cereal food of about one-half
the worlds population, and wheat the
chief cereal food of the other half
Curiously, too, the quantity produced
OF these two cereals apparently differs
but little, the latest estimates placing
the worlds wheat crop at 3,1S1,OOO,-
600 bushels, which equals about 19O,-
100000 pounds.
OF the 100000 pounds of rice
produced in the United States in 1908
52.S per cent. was produced in Louis
lana, Ais per cent. in Texas, 2.2 per
cent. in South Carolina, 81 per cent.
in Arkansas and the remainder in
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis-
sippi and North Carolina.

Tiny Baby's Pitiful Case.

the skin and peel off, leaving the I'M

was awful to see so small a baby look
as she did. Imagine! The doctor
was afraid to put his hands to the
child. We tried several doctors rem

"Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came off. I'm
