.ast night skagway capitulated to

Last night Skagway capitulated to the boys of the International Bound ary Survey, there being thirty of the Canadians and the same number of Uncle Sans boys, to arrive out on the afternoon train.
 Without exception, the boys state that this has been the finest season they have had while the work of de firing the boundaries has been car ried on.
 The work has gone on more rapidly this year than during the previous seasons, and was advanced far beyond the expectations of Chiefs Riggs and Craig.
 Whether this was due to the fine weather, or that the men had better country to traverse is hard to say, but the fact remains that the work was pushed to such an extent that it will be unnecessary for the party to remain in the interior this winter, as the work can easily be finished next year.
 Considerable difficulty was exper- fenced in getting the supplies of the party up the Porcupine, owing to the fact that the N. c. Company, who had the contratc for transporting the supplies, could not operate their two boats on the upper river, and the work had to be done by the gasoline stern wheel launches Aurora, Mid night Sun and FrontiersmaH, each of which is equipped with 25-h.-p. en- zine.
 On account of the small pox cpl demic at Rampant House, there was considerable delay owing to quaran- tine.
 66 Natives are reported down with the epidemic, and the Royal North West Mounted Police are enforcing a strict observance of the quarantine regulations, the returning party being compelled to make wide detour at the camp in order to aveid any chance of contagion.
 Dr. Smith, of the U. S. party, has been appointed by the Canadian gov ernment as Provisional Health Officel and he is in charge of the cases at the quarantine camp.
 Tomas Riggs Jr., Chief of the U. s. party, and J. D. Craig, chief Of Canadian party, are assisting in the construction of a hospital at the camp

and it is understood that MT. Riggs las turned over large amount of supplies, which was tkaen in for the Survey Party, to the authorities to use during the coming winter. as 1t s impossible to get supplies in his season before navigation closes.
 Great credit Is due Dr. Smith for his action and the fact that he will remain in all winter in order to care for the unfortunate Natives is in it. self a very brave deed. The Can adian government is doign all In its power to assist in stamping out the disease and the fact that there are no new cases, shows that they are meeting with success.
 Messrs. Riggs and Craig will be out in a short time, but will remain until the supplies are all properly stored and the hospital building in readiness for the winter. A number of the survey party were kept in to aid in the work.
 Most of the U. s. boys went out on the Jefferson last night, while the Can adian boys are awaiting the Princess May.

 CHICAGO. Oct. 3-The fourteenth annual session of the American Min ing Congress has been postponed. The convention will be held at the Hotel La Sale Chicago, October A, 25, 26, 27, and 2S, instead of Septem- Der 18th to 29th inclusive, as previ- ously announced.
 The action of the directors in de- termining upon later date was based upon several important reasons. Pres ident Taft was unable to attend on the first date chosen, but informed the Chicago committee that he would be glad to address the convention on his return trip from the West. Co incident with the receipt of this in- formation arose the possibility that neither Secretary Fisher nor Direc- tor Holmes of the bureau of mines, would be able to reach Chicago by the latter part of September. The Alaskan chapter of the Congress urg- ed delay in order to send a strong CT and more representative delega- tion. The presence of a number of governors was also assured in the event of postponement.
 President Taft will address the con vention on October 2S. The first pub lie exploitation of the conclusions reached by Screeary Fisher as a re- suit of his Alaskan trip will probably take place at this meeting.

SPECIAL CARE AND FEED FOR CALVES.

Calves are fed new milk until four
weeks old II to be sold for veal. Those
reared for use in the dairy are fed new
milk for a week or more, and then
gradually changed to SKINNED or to
separator milk, never feeding quite
as much as the calf can drink. About
one pint of fresh buttermilk should
be added to the separator milk for
each calf. At four weeks a little flax
seed meal should be given with the
milk and a handful of shorts after.
Calves are weaned at six to eight
months old, when they should have
the run Of q good pasture IL in the
spring, or Of a meadow in September,
where there is good aftermath, This

Planting season may begin with the
first good fall rains and continue I'M
til March 15, or so long as the soil
remains cool and moist. While sue
cessful paintings are sometimes made
during midwinter there is danger on
clay soils Of the plants being lifted
out of the ground by repeated freez-
ing and thawing. 1t Is better to plant
before the severe winter freezes or
as soon as possible after winter
weather is past. Successful paintings
are sometimes made during midsum-
mer by taking advantage of a rainy
spell Of weather and shifting plants,
with soil adhering to the roots, to

gulf region planting is frequently
done during the late summer and
early fall. Plants set at any time,
when the weather is favorable, from
July to December, should produce a
fair crop of fruit the following spring.
? Before planting the soil should be
thoroughly broken and pulverIzed to
a good depth. The rows should be
slightly elevated. If the hill method
of growing is adopted, as is the GUS
tom in South Mississippi, three feet
between rows Is about right. If the
matted row is used, three and one
half to four feet between rows is
better. With summer and fan plant
ings, which are expected to bear
fruit the following spring, plants
should be set not more than twelve
inches apart in the row. Varieties
like Excelsior, Lady Thompson and

PATHETIC SCENE IN HOUSE.

! Speaker Street Receives News of Sud.
den Death of His Son.
Jackson.--A touch of pathos was
given to the session of the house of rep
resentatives at noon Wednesday when
Representative Stennis, speaking from
the floor of the house, announced that
Albert ]. Street, the youngest son of
Speaker Street, had dropped dead on
the sidewalk in Chicago. The announce
ment brought the session of the house
to a dramatic climax, and sent a shadow
Of gloom throughout the legislative
halls.
The news was conveyed to Speaker
Street by Mr.. 7. N. Walker, q close and
intimate friend of the family, who was
notified of the sad occurrence in a tele-
gram from the home of Speaker Street.
The venerable and beloved old leader
of the house was presiding over the
session when he was called into his Of
flee to receive the news.
81 have Just received word from home
that your son Chalie is dying" Mr..
Walker informed Speaker Street.
A number of friends of the speaker
gathered in his office, having received
the news upon the arrival of Mr.. Wal
ker. The news was q severe shock to
Speaker Street, but he managed to bear
up, and when he had sufficiently recov-
cred he was informed that his boy vas
dead.
Great tears flooded the eyes of the
venerable statesman from Meridian, and
his friends assisted him to a chair. He
asked for further details but was in
formed that there was nothing aside
from the fact that his son had Sue
cumbed on the street, presumably from
an attack of heart failure.

Seeing no reason why the case should
not have gone to a conclusion and the

He claims that there was no criminal
intent in his action; he, in good faith,
believed and took for granted that his
first wife had gone ahead and gotten the
divorce, and he did not learn to the
contrary until he was arrested for big
