AGRICULTURE IN GERMANY.
Number of Farming Implements in
Use Shows Success.
reign Correspondence of The Star.


BERLIN, July ., 1910.
In6ubitable evidence that the antic,pa-
tions of German protectionist statesmen
concerning the influence which the en-
couragement of agriculture would pro-
duce on the home market for Industrial
products were justified. is supplied by
the agricultural census taken in June,
1907.
The mass of information then collected
has not yet been definitely tabulated. out
with other things the number or agri-
cultural machines in use in Germany has
been ascertained. Only the more i'm
portant machines in use on farms of
more than eight acres were counted. and
the result shows that the number was. at
that date, 1.413.S34. as compared win
6S6.14 in use I'm the year 1895. Accord
ing TO this provisional report centrifugal
machines were in use by 5000 farmers
in 1895 and by 1s1 900 in 1907, while steam
thrashing machines. which were used by
1900 farmers in 1895. were used by
100000 farmers in the year 1907.

MAID Is GIVEN $4,000; STEALS
$4,000 MORE.
Trunks Filled With Plumber at Pier,
/ Ready for Shipment to
Home in France.

NEW YORK, July 15.-After having
been in the Ladew family for fifteen
years, the members of which had treated
her more like a friend than a servant,
and after being the recipient of a legacy
of $4,000 from Mrs. Louise Ladew, Ideli
Worth, who had been Mrs. Ladew's maid,
repaid all this kindness b. robbing the
family Of her benefactress of $4,000
worth of property. The discovery was
only made on the eve of the woman's sail
ing with her plumber for France.
Idell went to the Ladew family as
chambermaid in their home at Elsinore.
Glen Cove. L. /. She won the confidence
of the family and was promoted to be
Mrs. Ladew's personal attendant.
Married Family Butler.
Then she fell in love with the Ladew
butler, Joseph Worth. and married him.
In few years Worth died.
When Mrs. Ladew died last year in
the Hotel Plaza 1t was found she had
left her maid the $4,000 legacy. Miss
Elise Ladew. however. looking upon her
as almost one of the family, would not
discharge her. At the beginning of July
trip through Connecticut. During his abb
sence the Worth woman shipped ten
trunks to the French line pier. The
Waterman on the place had his sus-
picions aroused and sent word to Mr..
Ladew. who returned. Mrs. Worth adj
mitted sending the trunks away and said
she had decided to leave the family and
so to her old home in France.
Trunks Filled With Plumber.
She agreed to allow one of her trunks
to be opened. asserting they contained
only her personal property. 1t was then
discovered that they were filled with
wearing apparel. jewelry, silverware, fine
lace. table linen and thousand and
one things. all Of which belonged to the
Ladews. They were the proceeds of
years of pilfering, having been taken in
such small quantities at a time that
suspicion was never aroused.
MIR. Ladew acknowledged the truth Of
the story last night and said that he
decided not TO prosecute and had caused
the Worth woman to be put aboard
vessel for France after she had signed
an agreement never TO return to
America.

Papers Made
 Big Mistake

The Seattle papers recently got immigration officer Krauc- zunas mixed up in his duties and the Times strengthened it out in a later article as follows;
 "Kazis Krauczunas, in charge of the immigration service of Alaska, who has gained consider able prominence through efforts to rid the northern country of undesirable men and women of foreign countries in the past few months, arrived in Seattle on the Victoria last Friday. Through an cratic message wired from Fairbanks to Valdez and forward ed to Seattle, a story in the Se- attle Times of March 22nd stated that Krauczunas was a white slave owner and that with three of his slaves he was brought to Seattle to be deported to France.

Hospital Ball Was
 Great Big Success
Efforts of the Ladies Guild Were Crowned with Success
 and Hospital Reaps the Benefit

The benefit hospital ball given by the ladies of St. Johns Guild last Monday evening was a great success, socially and financially. The tatal receipts were $194. 95, nearly everything was donated and the total expense will not exceed twenty dollars. The hall was beautifully decorated with ferns, palms and cedar. The guild colors, yellow and white, were used extensively through out the hall. The stage has nev- CT looked prettier.
 On each side of the stairway leading to the stage was ped estal surmounted by a beautiful palm; a rustic screen of cedar,

 There were three women on the stage and they are wives of prominent business men of Fair banks and happened to come out at the same time that 1 did.

Probably someone at Fairbanks who knew that I was leaving sent a mess age to Valdez and it was repeat ed to your paper when the three women arrived in the latter city on the same stage with me.

One of the pleasing events of the evening was the presentation by the Fraternal Order of Eagles of beautiful sunburst with dia- mond centre to Miss Huntoon, matron of the hospital, for her kindness and care to one of their deceased members. Dr. H. c. Story made the presentation. It was such surprise to Miss Hun toon and she was so overcome with joy at the kindness of the lodge, that she couldn't speak. She told the writer of this ar ticle that she prized the gift so much that she would keep it am- ong her choicest possessions as long as she lived.

 The candle shades of purple and white looked very dainty on each table. The lemonade booth decorated in the guild colors and ferns, was beautiful and the cosy corner opposite, decorated in the same colors, was much enjoyed, judging from the number of peo- pie occupying it during the even- ing. The Ketchikan band play ed the grand march which was led by Colonel and Mrs. Higgins, followed by the guild officers and nurses of St. Johns hospital.

Farallon Victim
 Reaches City

An interesting vessel came in to Ketchikan last Monday. It was the fourteen ton gasoline schooner Sea Wolf in command of Captain N. M. Widding.
 The Sea Wolf left Nome Oc- tober 8, with crew of five men with 8 cargo for Siberia. A storm drove her ashore where she was frozen in the ice, which soon af- ter broke away, carrying the lit tie ship out into the Arctic. She drifted down along the coast of Unalaska when a big sea put her on her beam end and ripped up the planking. For days she drifted and it was necessary to keep hands constantly at the pumps. It was impossible to sail her and all the canvas was used to make sea anchor to keep her right side up and prevent laundering, until she was picked up and lowed into Dutch harbor. She was later taken to Kodiak for repairs,
 During all the eventful trip, Fred Jacobson, formerly of Ket- chikan, was aboard as engineer. Jacobson will be remembered as having pulled off a wrestling match with Nels Dyvad three years ago.
 Captain Widding was sent by the Sea Wolf's owners from Se- attle to bring the boat to the Sound. He sailed on the ill fat ed Farallon and was aboard her when she went down on January 18th. He was one of the five men who left the ship in a small boat to go for help, and spent weeks on the bleak coast with nothing to eat but sea weed and such food as the sea furnished in the way of clans and crabs.
 Their experience was g terrible one in which one of the men was drowned. They were later res cued by the revenue cutter Ia homa.

Immediately after the adjourn ment of the old council they were again sworn in and recon vened as members for another term. Mir. Pittinger was again chosen as mayor and after open ing for business in due form they proceeded to the election of a clerk. Mir. Cosgrove was asked if he would accept the combined office of clerk and at torney upon the same terms as the previous year, and upon re- ceiving his consent he was again elected with but one dissenting vote.
 s. A. Plumley was nominated as municipal judge and unani- mously elected.
 For treasurer two candidates were nominated: Fremont King and M. A. Mitchell. A ballot was taken which resulted in 3 for King and 4 for Mitchell. MT. Mitchell was declared elected.
 A vote was then taken to sell ect a fire chief, which showed 4 ballots for D. w. Hunt and 3 for Fremont King. MT. Hunt was announced as the choice.
 The matter of choosing a city marshal was laid on the table as the board wanted further time to consider new proposition which will come up at a special meeting to be held soon.
 The mayor then named the following committees;
 Streets Anderson, Raber and Morrison.
 Light and Water -Goemaere, Gilmore and Schlothan. :.
 Purchasing Agent -Raber.
 Before adjourning the mayor addressed the members and out lined some of the things that would come up for their consid- eration during the coming year. He said that owing to the eff cioncy of the fire company and the reconstruction of the fire scow and proper maintenance of apparatus and use of the salt water mains, the insurance rates had been reduced until it netted the property owners saving of more than $5,0OO a year He thought the same efficiency should maintained and estimated the cost of the pump ond scow and not over $900 a year.

Mining Notes
 About District

The Irving Consolidated prop erty has been transferred to A. A. Wakefield under a twenty-five year lease.
 MT. Wakefield first came to this District in 1901 and in con- nection with G. M. Wakefield took over and was later placed in charge of the Niblack gold-cop- per property situated at Niblack. Had MT. Wakefield been allowed to carry out his policy of devel- oping the ore bodies of the Nib- lack mine, it would to-day be at tracing the attention of the big copper mining men of the United States.
 The successful development of the Irving Consolidated property by MT, Wakefield and his asso- ciates is of the most vital i'm. portance to every resident of Ketchikan on account of it's near location to the city. The writer of this firmly believes that if a mistake had not been made by the management some years ago, this property would be running and paying dividends at this time.
 Spasmodic attempts have been made in the past few years to operate the property but lack of funds, and knowledge of treat ing the ore, have so far made it unsuccessful. However we be- lieve the property has now fallen into the proper hands and should take it's place in the ranks of the producers of this district.

sewer Mir. Pittinger said it must
 be properly constructed, and also improvements made in the Main street sewer.
 The proposed Front street iin- provement took up considerable of his time, in which he suggest ed that an engineer be secured to make a new plat taking in the principal streets, and estab- fish a grade in conformity with other parts of the city, and be- fore beginning to make changes secure thorough working plan which will prevent mistakes and future trouble and expense. It was advisable to begin this work at once.
 The school grounds needed to be improved by clearing off the stumps and blasting the rocks, Also the building needed paint ing. It was the mayors belief that the float could be built at Newtown and all the work done this year and in addition make a considerable reduction in the tax levy.
 Alderman Gilmore spoke brief ly on the insurance and fire sit uation and said the reduction in rates was partly owing to the more general use of cement and brick chimneys and the better construction of buildings. He thought the present fire protec- tion sufficient and did not advo- cate exspending more money for the use of pumps and salt water mains extension until after Front street had been widened and re- paired. He said that two thirds of the taxes came from business houses on that street and it's property owners should be given first consideration.
 MT. Goemaere spoke for the Newtown city float. He believed general benefit would result from it's immediate construction as it would give additional facil- ities for fishing boats to land and offer encouragement to boat owners to make Ketchikan their
 headquarters.
 The city marshal was ordered to see that the fish dealers cease
 dumping refuse and offal under
 the docks, but have such stuff
 conveyed by chute or scow to
 deep water: In case the prac-
 tiee was continued arrests would l follow under the charge of main taining a nuisance.

Result Of The Civic Election
 Shows Old Board Members Win

The city election this year was a very tame affair, there being but two candidates to contest the seats of the old board, and they did it as a matter of pleasantly rather than any desire to become members of the city council.
 The polls opened at nine O clock with the following persons con stituting the election board: N. B. Whitfield, w. E. Murphey, J. Koel, J. B. Van Slice and R. T. Graham.
 The result of the days ballot
