CAPTURE The WHOLE WORKS
AT NATIONAL LAND SHOW
AT NEN YORK.
Mrs. Rowland Of North Yakima Wins
Big Prxes-Crowds at National Land
Show Take Lively Interest In the
Exhibits-Cheer the Winners-Mon-
tan Men Capture -Four First Prizes.

New York.-The sensation of the ma
tional land show, now being held at
Madison Square Garden, came Saturday
when the northwest made a clean sweep
of the first prizes.
The first announcement was of the
award to Mrs. Ella d. Rowland of
North Yakima, who exhibited IS boxes
of apples, of the prize of $500 in
gold from President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, and a $1,000 silver
cup offered by A. G.. Hanauer of Spo.
kane. In matter of points Mrs. Row
land IS exhibit was easily the best.
In second place, or second highest
in this exhibit, was Robert johnson of
North Yakima. There were many
northwesterners present when this
award was announced, and in true
western style they celebrated, offering
three cheers and a tiger for the great
northwest.
before further awards were made and
this time it was Montana's turn to
make the welkin ring.
When the jollity had subsidized the
masses attending the show crowded
around the northwestern exhibits and
began to draw comparisons. Many
were unable to agree with the judges
decision for there were many other
exhibits of such grand character that
an expert alone could decide on the
champion.
Montana winnings were: On win
ter wheat, James Todd of Geyser, first
prize, a beautiful silver cup. The
grain was of a yield of rs bushels to
the acre and weighed IS pounds to the
bushel.
On oats the silver cup went to
Messrs. Patton and Hartman of Boze-
man. Their exhibit was of a yield of
154 bushels to the acre, weight As
pounds to the bushel.
The third prize captured by Montana
was IN barley, the exhibit of R. Fisin-
ger of Manhattan. His yield was
So $40 bushels to the acre, weight 5715
pounds to the bushel.
On alfalfa Mr.. VanCleve and Mr..
Sugduch of Broadview, Mont, won the
silver cup.
Montana thus takes four of the five
first prizes awarded.

CHARGED WITH EIGHT DEATHS.
Mrs. Vermilya, of Chicago, Under
Arrest.

Chicago.-The police admit they have
practically reached the end of their
rope in their investigation into the
death of Patrolman Arthur Bissonette
and the death of eight others, who have
been close associates of Mrs. Louise
Vermilya. Although Coroner Hoffman
has satisfied himself that Bissonette
died by arsenic poisoning and a war
rant charging murder has been issued
for the woman, the evidence against
her thus far is purely circumstantiai.
Mrs. Vermilya, the accused murderer,
attempted to commit suicide Saturday
night. She took in her food apparently
the same poison of which one of her
alleged victims died but was saved by
physicians efforts.

sLAv IS SEIZED AS RoBBER.
Believe One-Eyed, One-Armed Austrian
Helped Plumber B. G. Bank.

Vancouver, B. C.-The mystery of
the great $~258,0OO bank robbery AT
New Westminster may soon be solved.
The key is the capture of John Bozyt,
a young Austrian-a fredericksburg
fraction of a Slav, with only one hand
and one eye. In his pockets, when ar
rested in Chinatown, was not only $70s
in ordinary currency; but in his rooms
at the hotel the police found $4,000 of
the stolen series of bank of Montreal
bills. Here also was a huge quantity
of silks and other articles believed to
have been stolen.
The clue that led to the arrest Of
Bozyt was the passing of several hun
dred dollars in Chinatown. The police
learned it had been passed by an Aus
trian with one hand and one eye.
Then it was easy to find the man.

Open-Air Schoolrooms.

Seattle. - City Superintendent of
Schools F.. B. Cooper will remodel two
portable school buildings.
Reports to Superintendent Cooper
indicate that the open-air classes IN
the two buildings nave been a success.
The pupils are healthier and making
better progress than they would in IN
closed rooms.
1t is believed that the portable build
ings, which can be opened on three
sides, would be better adapted to open
air work than rooms in the main build
ings. The portables have provision for
stoves which can be used for drying
cut the rooms or for drying the cloth
ing of children coming to school dur
ing the rainy season.

AS Breeding Ground for Alaska

lions at 1000 feet elevation near the
arctic circle. That is the days are
warm and sunshiny, but the nights
are almost cold even IN summer, while
the severe winters are apt to kill all
but the hardest perennials
A bill was recently introduced into
congress for the establishment of just
such work in Colorado and also for
experiments that would breed drought
resistant vegetables for the desert.
The methods employed in this ex-
perimental work are exceedingly in
teresting. If for instance, it was de-
cided to find wheat that would ma
ture IN a very cold climate like that
in the hill country north Of the arctic
circle, this is how it would be done:
First, the hardest seed Of all the har-
diest varieties would be obtainable
from Russia, Scandinavia, Canada and
Alaska. Then it would be planted in a
place where it would be unlikely to
mature. There might be just one stalk
that, from some mysterious strain OF
breeding or force Of circumstance,
would stand unframed by the autumn
frosts. Its seed would be treasured
and the next year each grain would
be carefully planted and guarded so
that the strain should be increased,
and still further and seyerer tests
made on it until it was so hardened
that a full annual crop was assured.

Lack Of Horses Alarms Officers

airy and published by the department
of agriculture, doubt is expressed on
the subject. The army type is said
to be scarce and hard to obtain.
Capt Conrad recommends legls-
lation by the states generally to pre-
vent the breeding OF unsound horses.
In 1908 the government established
the system of remount depots for the
army Under this system the govern
ment buys the horse young, at three
to four years DID, and after breaking
them issues them to the troops. This
system has been found preferable to
purchasing the animals when matured.
But what the army officers want, and
also the department of agriculture, is
a system Of government supervision of
the breeding of horses for the army.
Chief George M. Rommel of the ami.
NAL husbandry division OF the L4-eau
Of animal industry, has devised plan
whereby from 1000 to $500 welLbred
animals would be available for the
army every year. This would about
supply the demands in time of peace.
1t is proposed to divide the country
into four districts and to rear Nor
gans, thoroughbreds, standardbreds
and saddlers. In time the best type
would be discovered.

eeoroIa,s Wealth In peoans.

A dispatch from Albany published re-
Gently in the Constitution indicated
that within the last four months $4,000
acres Of pecan lands had been sold in
and around Dougherty county.
Preparations are under Wy sor
planting this tremendous area in the
toothsome nut that promises so large
a revenue to Georgia.
The problem regarding this especial
industry has lately changed from one
of selling nature to one of getting
lands to sell.
At present, it is said, there is an
actual famine of pecan lands readily
available.
To be sure there are still large I'M
occupied tracts in the pecan belt, but
the owners foresee the possibilities of
tremendous development and are In no
hurry to rush their holdings on the
market
Within only comparatively recent
years has the country awakened to
Georgia's potentialities with regard to
pecanS.
Now it is common knowledge among
investors that orchards properly tend
ed-and the expense of so doing is
small-return dividends beside which
many other crops are negligible.
1t is logical that in course of time
the pecan will become one of the
states best revenue producers.
The pecan, moreover, is only one
item. Georgia has plenty more such at
her back to inspire the activities of the
Greater Georgia association and other
organizations engaged in the mission

A N odd plan is on foot to make the
"a Colorado mountains sort of prov
ing ground for agriculture in Alaska.
OF course, there are a good many
kinds of agriculture in ALASKA that
do not need proving. They are al
ready an, established success, both
scientifically and commercially Hun
dreds of tons of potatoes, oats and cab
bage are grown and sold in the terri
tory each year and there are a dozen
other successful crops.
But Alaskan nights are too cool
to mature string beans and corn, for
instance, and the question is whether
hardy, cold-restraint varieties could
not be produced by selective breeding
that would give Alaskans all the fresh
luxuries from their garden that the
states have.
There are farms in the Colorado
mountains near Denver that have an
elevation of nearly 10000 feet and
the conditions at this altitude in Col
orado are almost identical with condi-
