ROOSEVELT COMES
OUT OF THE WIlOS
Expedition Welcomed at Condo
rOkO With Bugle Blasts
and America"

GONDOKORO, Soudan. on the Upper
Nile, Feb. 17.-Colonel Roosevelt, Ker-
NIT Roosevelt and the other members
Of the Smithsonian African scientific
expedition arrived here today. All are
well
The entrance into Gondokoro of the
Americans was rudely picturesque and
nothing that British and native hospi-
tally could suggest was lacking in the
welcome.
WITH BLARE Or BRASS
The arrival of the expedition in the
outskirts of the town was heralded
with bugle blasts by Chief Keribaq' s
bugle band, which led the van Chief
Keribaq accompanied his musicians.
The native party had met the expedi-
ton 16 miles to the south and en- route
accorded to il all the honor that could
be got out of their instruments of
brass and Indian drums.
Reaching the town, the band struck
up America" which, happening to be
the British national air, suited the oc-
casion exactly. Belgian marches were
inteTsperSed.
Following the musicians, native
porter carried a large American flag.
Then came the caravan proper, Colonel
Roosevelt, Kermit, the other American
hunters and scientists and the body of
native pOrters.
Waiting on the Bar Ell label was the
launch of General Sir Reginald Win
gate, sirdar of the Egyptian army, and
from the vessel was flying the stars
and stripes. Roosevelt boarded the
launch at once and after a brief rest
began reading his mail. Many commu-
nications awaited him.
The expedition has passed through
the most trying stage of the African
journey and from now on viii be in
close touch with the outside world.
For the last 10 days the expedition
has been practically isolated in a
wilderness where the only communi-
cation between the scattered villages
was through native runners.

TETANUS
SAVES LIFE
Bushwick Hospital Physi-
clans Rescue Lad From
Death by Lockjaw.

New York, July 14.-Science has
saved a little four-year-old boy of
Brooklyn from the terrible death of
lockjaw Physicians in the Bushwick
hospital are greatly interested in the
case, which is that of Walter Rob-
inson
About a month ago one of the
boys fingers was damned in a
swinging gate in front of his house.
Totanus developed in a few days and
the boy was removed to the hospi-
tai His jaws were locked tight and
his head and feet were drawn back
by the distressing muscular action
of the disease.
While holding out absolutely no
hope for the boys recovery the doc
tors began treating the lad with he
roic hypodermic injections of anti
toxin tetanis serum. Gradually the
rigidity of the muscles relaxed ana
last night after $4,000 units of SER
UNI had been injected the boy was
able to sit up. Physicians say he
will be able to leave the hospital in
another week.

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
4. ID. Charlton Points Out Benefit
Which Will Come From Poor
Crops This Year.

That the present unsatisfactory
condition of crops in the middle
west will ultimately prove of i'm
mense benefit to Washington, Ore
gOn and all the Pacific Northwest,
is the opinion Of A. d. Charlton,
assistant passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific railway
Ever since May 1 there has been
a continuous hot wave in the Mis-
sisslppi valley and throughout the
grain region of the Dakotas and
Montana" said Mr.. Charlton. "This
has resulted, through the lack of
rain, in a practical failure of the
wheat crop. The farmers of that
section cannot stand such expert
ences and, naturally, they will seek
a region where the success of their
crops is not so dependent upon the
annual rainfall, or where that rain
fall is sufficient to insure a success
full yield. There is but one thing
for them to do, that is seek the Pa
ciflc slope or the irrigable lands of
the intermountain country.
This country, with it's crops, will
advertise itself ana next year there
will be an unprecedented migration.
There is no crop failure here. In
fact, the harvest which the farmers
of Washington and Oregon will ga
Their exceeds anything yet known.
No fruit crop ever grown in the
west approaches that now to be har-
vested. The peaches, pears, berries
and apples are to be had this year
in abundance, yet they will not equal
the demand, even at high prices, for
the grain crop is a failure.
The fruit growers and farmers of
the middle west and central south
ern states, seeing the immense crops
and favorable prices which the
western ranchers will receive, are
bound to put themselves in posi-
ton to share that prosperity.
The wheat crop of eastern Wash
ington is far from being unsatisfac-
tory. The farmers of the Palouse
region, to bull the market, have CIV
en- credence, so / am told, to the
poor crop reports, but in reality
they are to harvest an abundant
supply. DR.. Y. C. Blalock of Walla
Walla, told me today that in the vi
cinity of his home city the crops are
excellent and every prospect exists
for a satisfactory harvest.
''All this season the passenger
travel, which is an indication of the
volume of business being transacted
over the country, has been large. 1t
has exceeded that of last year for
every month through June, and this
in view of the fact that last June
the A-Y.-P exposition was in pro-
gress. The people are seeing this
region, and, if nothing else does, it
will advertise itself"

SMOKERS HANDED
PACKAGE
Size of Package Has Dimin-
ished Since New Law
of July /.

Once again the ultimate and inno-
cent consumer gets it in the neck.
The price of tobacco has gone up.
That is the price hasn't gone up, but
what is the same thing the size of
the package has gone down. On July
l the new internal revenue on to-
bacco increasing the rate about 2
cents a pound, went into effect and
the tobacco trust has lost no time
in letting the smoker find it out
Dealers everywhere have been noti-
fed that the five-cent packages here
tofore listed as weighing one and
two-thirds ounces, have been cut to
one and one-half ounces, and the
three and one-third ounce, or ten
cent sizes, have been cut to three
ounces. To collect this little old
two cents the trust holds out little
more than an ounce and a half in a
pound, which, of course, retails for
five cents.
This is on a par with the policy
inaugurated when the tobacco tax
was increased as Spanish-American
war measure. The tobacco trust
promptly cut down the size of the
package, but when the tax was re-
moved the size of the package was
not increased until about year ago,
and now it dwindles again. In the
near future it is estimated that real
man-size pipe will accommodate a
whole five-cent bag and economy will
demand that the sack be smoked as
well as the tobacco, although, those
who use tobacco in tin boxes can
hardly take advantage of the scheme.
