way around the world, is the annual
record Of the San Francisco bay ter
minals of the Southern Pacific Com
pany. However, this is by no means
great portion Of the traffic of this
company A recent compilation of
the train service of the three termi-
nails on the bay, Oakland Pier Ala
media Pier and the Townsend depot

Of 75S trains.
With the exception of number of
extra freight trains that are not run

TREATY TO PREVENT
DRY NIAGARA.

Washington. Dec. 26.-The United
States and Canada have negotiated a
treaty which controls the diversion Of
water from the Niagara river and pre-
serves the scenic grandeur OF Niagara
Falls for all time. The treaty goes into
full effect automatically in March,
upon the expiration of the law which
now limits some of its provisions.
The international agreement was
made in response to general demand
that the question of water diversion
be settled once and for all in ac-
cordance with expert opinion. The
treaty makers had exhaustive tests
conducted by hydraulic engineers, and
it was determined that diversion
should not exceed 10000 cubic feet a
second on the Canadian side and 10000
cubic feet a second on the American
side, out of total flow OF 100000 GU
bic feet second.
The use of this quantity of water
for power purposes, the engineers
found, would not affect the appearance
of the falls sufficiently for the eye TO
detect. Since only about half the
quantity permitted by the treaty is
now diverted, twice the present horse
power can be produced without endan-
gering the scenic beauty Of the cata-
ract.

FOUL BROOD.

The census OF 1910 shows decrease
Of almost 100000 colonies of bees on
the farms OF the United States. There
is also considerable decrease in the
number Of farms reporting bees.
Since be keeping is one of the import
ant and profitable minor branches Of
agriculture, this decrease among farm
er bee keepers is unfortunate. No re-
turns are available for bee keepers in
towns and cities.
Bee keeping is fast becoming the
business of the specialist and the num-
Der OF men who devote their entire at
tention to the business is rapidly In
creasing. However. there is no reason
why the average farmer cannot keep
a few colonies Of bees to supply honey
for home consumption with perhaps
some surplus for sale in good years.
The United States department Of ag-
riculture attributes most of the de-
ported decrease to the brood diseases
Of bees which are now found widely
distributed in the United States. The
department has knowledge OF these
diseases in about 20 per cent of all
counties In the United States. Where
disease exists bee keepers often lose
colonies and attribute their loss to
some other cause. Because OF these
facts, the departments advises persons
interested in bees to inform themselves
concerning thee diseases. 1t is quite
possible to keep bees with profit with
diseases prevalent in the neighborhood
provided the bee keeper knows how to
treat the disease. Farmers bulletin

FELL FROM HORSE;
BADLY INJURED

Underwood, N. D., Dec. 2s.-whlle
returning from Mannhaven, Robert
Tower experienced terrible accident
which could well have cost him his life.
In some way the horse which he was
riding stumbled and fell, throwing him
against a sharp object which struck
him in the forehead, rendering him un-
conscious.
1t was found that the horse had
made many efforts to get UP but on
account of Towers coat, which had
caught in the saddle as he fell, the
horse was pulled down each time.
Had the horse regained his feet the
result could have been fatal as the pony
was a broncho and an outlaw. Tower
was found by Parks short way from
the house Of a neighbor with whom
he had been talking shortly before
A physician was called and Tower
was found to be in a critical condition,
having conclusion of the brain. Late
reports are, he Is getting along as we'll

afternoon, in which the InnisfaiIs. of

The Philadelphians, who, including
this defeat, have lost only four games
in three seasons, went into the con-
test slightly fatigued as the result of
the strenuous tie battle on a muddy
field Sunday with the St Lees, local

Freddie Welsh 1t is through this
circumstance that he entered the
llmelight, and though he did not
show any unusual class against the
Britisher on Thanksgiving day, he
did stay the twenty rounds and in
three of these showed a furious
burst of speed which astonished
even his friends. In his fight with
the veteran he showed unusual
gameness and possibilities Of de-
veloping into a strong contender for
the weller weight honors.
The fight netted Richie enough
money to have made it worth his
while. and he has had no trouble in
getting plenty Of fights since then. He
is hard hitter, but lacks science
