Farmers in this section are COM
planning about a shortage in their
potato crop. The vines look healthy
but when pulled up there are only a
few potatoes in the hill, Louis Zemke,
of the town of Wausau, who usually
has an excellent crop, informs us that
he had to dig through the hills on
about an acre of ground a few days
ago to get eleven bushels. The same
conditions appear to prevail else
where, although the late potatoes may
turn out better. The trouble appears
to be the result of a drought coming
on at the time when the potatoes set.
Buy it now. Now is the time to
buy bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. 1t
is almost certain to be needed before
the summer is over. This remedy has
no superior. For sale by all dealers.

DEATH OF MRS. EUGENE TACK.

Word was received yesterday morn
ing, by Mrs. S. E. Stoddard, that her
sister Mrs. Eugene Tack, of Stevens
Point, had been stricken with par
alysis. Just after the noon hour the
sad news came of her death. Mrs.
Tack was a daughter of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Adam Young. She was also
sister of Mrs. S. E. Stoddard of this
city. Mrs. Tack came with her par
entS to Wausau to reside Whsn a
little girl and for many years this was
her home. She had often visited here
and kept up the acquaintance of her
old friends and to those the sad news
was a great shock. The Stevens Point
Journal of Aug. IA contains the fol-
lowing:
Following stroke of apoplexy, as
sudden and unexpected as it was
fatal, Mrs. Eugene Tack passed away
at her home, COB Strongs avenue, at
2:45 this afternoon.
''She was stricken at 10:45 in the
forenoon, while on the back porch,
She had been busily engaged during
the forenoon, doing the family wash
ing and at other work, and was about
to pick up two rugs, which lay on the
back porch to take them into the
house, when she was stricken. She
was apparently in her usual good
health all the morning except that
about half an hour before the fatal
attack she remarked to her daughter,
Mrs. George Gemberling, that she felt
faint. From this attack, however,
she quickly recovered and nothing
more was thought of it.
"When stricken, she sat down on the
steps, where her daughter, Mrs. Gem
berling, saw her from the doorway of
the barn. Quickly calling assistance,
her daughter carried her into the
house. where medical aid was sum-
moned. She was scarcely able to
speak, but recognized those around
her. At noon she became uncon-
scious, and remained in a comatose
condition until she died.
Margaret Young was born in Penn
sylvania, April q, 1866, and came to
Wausau with her parents while still
in her infancy. In 1872 she came to
this city, and was married shortly af-
ter to Mr.. Tack. She had lived in
the house in which she died for the
past &c years. She is survived by
her husband and five children. They
are Frank j., who is living in Iowa
Mrs. George Gemberling, at home;
Mrs. e. j. Van Laanen of Fond du
Lac; Miss Rubo, at home; Walter e.
Fond du Lac. She also leaves two
sisters and two brothers. They are:
Mrs. Ed. Stoddard, Wausau; Mrs.
Elizabeth Barach, New York City;
Frank and Christ Young, Wausau;
Charles Young, Ohio. A son, Villas,
died at the age of three, Is years ago."

COLLISION.

]. f. Kadonsky, driving an auto,
and John Anderes, riding bicycle,
pulled off an act at the corner of
Third and Scott streets Sunday after
noon, which had not been previously
advertised. 1t rivaled one of the
rough rider acts you will witness next
Friday in the 101 Ranch show. When
it was all over Mr.. Anderes had a
suit of clothes in condition to send to
the carpet cleaning works, and a
bicycle that looked as if it had gone
through a suffragette convention.
The only injury he sustained was to his
feelings. Mr.. Kadonsky believes that
is an unlucky corner, for he tried to
push street car of the { ack at that
point year ago, with the result
that the car remained on the track
and the auto went to the repair shop.

WASHINGTON, d, c. Oct. 10
Such a disaster as occurred on the bat
tleship Liberte on September 20 would
be impossible in the American navy
in the opinion of ordnance officers, as
suming that the French Vice-Admiral
Bellue was right in his declaration
that it was due to the decomposition
of the powder in the Liberties maya
zines. American naval ordnance eX'
perts have been trying for years to
make American smokeless powder ig-
mite spontaneously without success.
Commenting upon the order issued by
the French admiralty for the removal
from the Mediterranean fleet of all
smokeless powder made prior to 1902
it was said at the navy department
here that there was a good deal OF
powder ahoat in American naval YES

Every bit of powder in the navy is
under almost constant inspection.
When a lot of powder is made it is
given an Index" number, and the de-

tory, and also at the magazines from

When harmful changes are noted in
powder the order goes out instantly
to every ship and magazine for the
return of all of that index number to
Indian Head, where it is ground M
and worked over into new stock.
SO the navy department officials
feel that the American bluejacket can
rest assured that, at least so far as

he is in no danger of being blown VI

GOVERNMENT LOANING MONEY
TO THE PHILIPPINE FARMERS

San Francisco Chronicles: Efforts
on the part of the Philippine Com
missioners to build up the agricultur-
al industry lin the Philippine Islands
is meeting with slow, but none the
less sure, success. The Agricultural
Bank, which was proposed a few
years ago for the purpose of leaning
money for the development of agri-
cultural land, met with little response
OF the part of the native Filipinos,
and the Government itself is now
making direct loans on such property.
Under the present system it will loan
a sum about equal to sixty per cent. of
the actual value of the lands to be i'm
proved, there being no limit to the
amount of lands which may be in
volved in the loan. In return the Gov
eminent gets six per cent. interest on
it's money. This system has been
moderately successful, but even yet
has not stimulated the agricultural in
dustry, as would be the case in the
United States.
The greatest stimulant of agricul-
ture which has taken place in the
Philippines during American occupa-
ton has come from the enactment of
the tariff law, which permits the an
nual importation of Philippine sugar
and cigars into the United States free
of duty, up to specified amounts. The
result of this law with respect to SUI
gar was to double the price of raw
sugar in the hands of the Philippine
producers. This was a real boom to
a sadly depressed industry, and the
sugar producers are now reaching out
for more land to cultivate. The tobac-
co industry was not in such a depress-
ed state at the time of the enactment
of the tariff law, for the tobacco pro-
ducers always had a market for raw
tobacco in Europe, and for their CT
gars in China. The effect on that in

cent and So per cent, respectively.
Several game birds were found to be
eating the pest, and Mr. Kalmbach re-
GREETED that the law allows these
birds to be shot at a time when they
are doing effective work in Kidding
the state of the pest which is making
such ravages on one of its leading in
dustries The killdeer and the valley
quail are among the birds mentioned
in this classification. The little brew
er's sparrow has changed his diet to
alfalfa weevil almost exclusively, as
only II per cent of the contents of
his stomach were found to consist of
other substances.
"The vigor with which the birds
have attacked this pest" continues
the letter, stamps them as one of
the most effective controls over in
sect life. 1t is the abundance of an
insect rather than its character or
taste which determines whether or
not it will be prayed upon by the
birds"
In speaking of Mr. Kalmbach's let
ter, Mr. Chambers said:
"A great light should come to the
farmers Of Utah from the considera-
ton of these facts, Birds should be
protected and even the despised Eng
fish sparrow should be thought kindly
of while he is doing so much good
Granted that he is a pest himself and
a robber and a thief, we can AFFORD TO
feed him and to keep him around
while he is working for us, | am
firmly Of the opinion that all birds
should be protected by law, that boys
should stop destroying the nests OF
sparrows or other birds and allow
them to proceed unmolested in theiI
good work. '-Deseret News.

HILO, Oct IA special meeting
of the Hilo Board of Trade was held
last Friday to consider the plan ad,
vanced by Superintendent Of Public
Works Marston Campbell that &
broad street, with a reservation in the
center for railroad tracks, shOdld be
constructed from Waiakea 20 the pro-
posed wharf at Kuhio Bay. Prdcti-
cally every speaker at the Hec ing
agreed that the placing Ot railroad
tracks in the center of the street
would be a mistake and it was te
solved to ask that full plans be sub
mitted before any action was taken.
President Elliot asked for discus
sion by the members of the board.
Superintendent Filler of the Hilo
Railroad stated that the railroad COM
pany had been for some time attempt
ing to obtain right-of-way from is
present terminus at Waiakea in a
nearly straight line to the proposed
wharf, but that he was not in favor
of placing the tracks of the COM
he did not believe that such work
would be good railroading or would
be for the interest of either the rail
road or the public.
That the railroad rightof.way might
run parallel to the proposed road vas
quite another matter. There was the
whole of outdoors there to be used
and he thought that a public street
could be laid out and after that tht
railroad granted a right-of-way, or the
right-of-way granted first and the
street laid out afterwards, without any
great amount of conflict Metzger

clares that the English sparrow feeds
upon the weeyil and should be pro-
tected. Chattering and saucy, litter
ing up the sidewalks, stealing his feed
from the chickens and from the grain
bins and stacks, driving from the
trees the more desirable and pleasant
birds, and making himself nuisance
in general, the English sparrow has al
last purchased his right to COnsidera,
ton at the hands of farmers who find
their lucern crops beset with the de.
vastating alfalfa weevil.
While in Utah, Mr.. KaImbach pro.
cured the stomachs of a large number
of these birds, as well as those OF
other birds Astounding in this region
and upon returning to Washington
and making a thorough investigation
he has written a letter to f. w
Chambers, state fish and game war
den, setting forth the fact concerning
Utah birds as regards the alfalfa

spoke in favor of a reserve for rail
road tracks, which would allow plenty
of room, but that this should only be
for the steam railroad and not for any
electric car system, as running the
two on the same reserve would un-
doubtedly prove dangerous.
Mr.. Scott stated that at the meet
ing of the harbor commission the
matter of a road to the new wharf
had been taken up and the plan pro.
posed was a straight street, from the
junction of the extensions of Front
street and COcOanut Island road to
the new wharf. He was strongly OPP
posed to the placing of steam rail
road track in the middle of any street
and more especially between Waia-
kea and the new wharf, where there
was an abundance of land which
could be obtained.
Mr.. Castendyk stated that the mat
ter was still in its infancy and he
thought it would be a matter of policy
to be on good terms with the officials,
but that the Hilo merchants had a
right to be heard before anything was
done.
Mr.. Scott did not think that there
was anyone present who desired 70

of the BOARD of Trade wanted to see
the work go ahead but in such way
as was best for the community. II

By GEORGE w. PERKINS.

A group of men in a given state
have a given business. By their in
ventive genius, executive ability and
indomitable courage they develop that
business to a point where they want
to go into other states and across the
seas to push it.
They want to take in additional
partners and sell to everybody every
where. In order to do this they fore
see that they will need a large CAPT
tal-more than they or their local
friends can provide. They therefore
have to go to the public and ask them
to become shareholders.
When this condition arises my be-
lief is that these men should go to
our federal government and at least
lay bare their plan, expose their cap
italization, their methods and their
objects; that they should agree that
at stated intervals they would sub,
NIT to the government complete state
ments as to the operations of their
business, so that the government in
turn might say to the labor employed
to the consumer served, that the
statements these men are making are
complete and honest.
This does not mean state socialism;
! it does not mean government manage.
