Canal Diggers Accomplish Four
fitths Of Task.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Another mile
post was set up at the beginning Of
this month in the history of the con-
.sStruction OF the worlds greatest engi-
neering work, when the engineers an
nounced that on that date four-ifths
of the excavation required to complete
the Panama canal had been done.
There remained only 39,669,715 cubic
yards Of material to be removed and
that task is expected to be completed
within the next year.
These same engineers have finally
"broken the back" as it is expressed
technically, of the vast earth slide into
the famous Culebra cut, which threat
ened to give infinite trouble. This was
accomplished by the explosion of 700
pounds OF dynamite at one time in
twenty-eight twenty-four-foot holes
ripping off the whole crest of the great
bank just above the slide, north of the
central division offices.

George P. Jones, better known as
Zones of Rock" which cognomen he
obtained in the period that he was &C
tive in Minnesota politics, announced
that he is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor in
North Dakota.
The announcement of Mr.. Jones,
present states attorney of La Moure

of the Northwest.
"My political training has been re-
ceived largely under the administra-
ton of John Lind and John A. John
son of Minnesota and John Burke in
North Dakota, and l shall aim to fol
low the high standards they have es-
tablished. No individual, faction or

WILL ASSIST THE FARMERS
First Annual Meeting of $500 an Acre
Association.

The first annual meeting Of the One
Hundred Dollar an Acre association of
North Dakota was held at Fargo.
Practically all the directors were there
and great interest was shown in the
preliminary work that has been done
by Professor Cooper, the secretary,
formerly of the Minnesota state agri-
cultural college. After some discus
sion the name was changed to the Bet
ter Farming association of North Da-
kota.
1t is planned to cover from one
fourth to one-third of the state at first
and for this purpose about eleven as
sistants will be engaged by DR.. Cooper.
The unit of operation will be about
n county to each man. The efforts
for the first year will be devoted large
ly to getting in touch and securing the
cooperation of farmers. Only practic-
al and technically trained men can be
used at first. They must be capable
of working with the farmers and inter
esting them in the matters which they
will have to bring before them.
The object of the association is to
disseminate information among the
farmers, along scientific methods of
agriculture, the promotion of better
and more profitable methods Of cult
walton, including Investigation and
rotation of crops, raising live stock
and poultry, manufacturing dairy pro-
ducts and scientific instruction in farm
methods.

Proposes Increase Of Duties on
American Goods.
TAX WOULD Be PROH|B|TORY
Bill Backed by Leaders Proposes tc
Increase Existing Rates by One
Hundred Per Cent.

st. Petersburg, Dec. ga legisla-
tive proposal to provide for tariff war
schedules applicable to the United
States at the expiration of the Russo
American treaty of and
navigation of 1882 has been introduced
into the duma by e~X-President Ouch
kof and other signers, representing
the OctoberiSt and Nationalist parties,
which control a majority of the duma.
The bill proposes to raise existing
Russian duties by 100 per cen and
also to impose a duty of 100 per cent
on articles which are admitted free
snder the present Russian tariff. Be-
aides these impositions the bill pro-
poses also to levy double the gross
weight tax established by the law Of
June 21, 1901, on merchandise arriving
by sea, and to levy a double tonnage
tax. Should the present American
tonnage tax be raised to the disfavor
Of Russian vessels her the Russian
tonnage tax will be correspondingiy
increased.
To Be Submitted to Commission.
1t is said that the schedules are to
be applicable to all countries which do
not grant to Russia the most favored
nation treatment in commerce anC
navigation. The proposal will be sui
Knitted to a financial commission.
The necessity for the proposed legis-
1ation is explained in an accompany
ing declaration in which it is stated
that the regular American tariff sched-
ales which will be applicable to Rus
sian goods at the expiration of the
treaty OF commerce and navigation of
1882 will be so high as to have a pro-
hlbltlVe character and that they great
ly exceed the Russian normal tariff
and navigation taxes, which would be
naturally applicable to American goods
in the absence Of the treaty.
In the long declaration accompany
ing the bill, the signers deal fully with
the Russo-American situation and re-
count the formal steps taken by the
president Of the United States.

General Bernardo Reyes Gives
Up Hopeless Struggle.
YIELDS TO PERSONAL ENEMY
One Time Greatest Military Leader in
Mexico Rides Alone Into Ii
narez and ~Surrenders.

Linarez, Mex, Dec. 26.-Defeated
and stripped of former arrogance and
pride General Bernardo Reyes, Mex.
ico's one time greatest military lead
er and more recently leader of a re-
volt that threatened to tear the coun-
try from border to border, surrendered
here, but later was given his liberty
on his word that he would not leave
the city.
He surrendered officially to General
Trevino, a personal enemy of years.
Riding alone into Linarez the gray
haired rebel gave himself to Lieuten-
ant Placido Rodriguez, commander of
twenty-five rurales, the sole military
guard here. Permission was obtained
to telegraph a formal c%apitulation to
General Trevino, commander of the
third military zone at Monterey. He
frankly admitted his dream of another
successful revolution had come to an
end and placed himself at Trevino's
disposal.
Il called upon the army, l called on
the people," telegraphed the broken
general, and no M responded. This
attitude | regard as a protest and I
am resolved not to continue this
war against the government. place
myself at your disposition"
Reyes asked no guarantees for him
self, but pleaded for mercy for the lit
tie group Of men who have followed
him in his wanderings to and fro
throughout a large area in this state
and in the state Of Tamaulipas.
Will Pursue His Followers.
He requested consideration for them.
They yet are fugitives and will be
hunted down by Trevino's men unless
they, too, surrender voluntarily.
To Reyes message General Trevino
replied that General Reyes would be
kept under guard in Linarez pending
instructions from the central govern.
ment.
That he will be taken to the capital
to answer for his offense is consid-
cred by Reyistas the natural result of
his surrender.
Reyes attempt to save his followers
was refused by Trevino, who tele-
graphed to Reyes that he had no au-
thority to relax his campaign.
The climax to Reyes unsuccessful
attempts to recruit an army came and
resulted in his decision to surrender.
A small body of his followers engaged
in a skirmish with about an equal
number Of federals and at the first
shots the rebels took to their heels.
Reyes was near the scene of the en-
gagement. No one was killed.
The fact that these few men, whom
he believed faithful and brave fighters,
had run from the smell of powder and
the crack of the enemies rifles COM
pletely disheartened the old general
and he came in and gave up.
Reyes was not surrounded and might
have remained free for many days,
but, without the small army he had so
confidently expected to recruit, the
humiliating finish was almost newt
able.

CROP ROTATION IMPERATIVE
Professor BoIley Tells How to Secure
Better Yields.

Better Yields.
Professor H. L. Bolley of the North
Dakota Agricultural college advanced
the theory that crop rotation, in ad-
dition to being necessary for restor-
ing the fertility to the soil, is even
more imperative for the purpose of
soil sanitation. One of his illustra-
lions is that unfertile soil with pure
seed will produce plump grain, true
to type, in a limited quantity, of
course, while the most fertile soil,
seeded with infected grain, will not
produce plump grain.
The professor wants a system of
crop rotation adopted that will keep
the soil free from disease. Until this
is done, he insists good grain cannot
be grown and it will be impossible
to insure farming with a profit.
Another theory of the professor is
that the improper use of raw stable
manure by distribution over the fields
is frequently much more harmful than
beneficial. He by no means discour-
ages the use of but insists
that they should be properly compost
ed before being spread on the fields.
He claims that when barnyard fertiliz-
er, where diseased flax straw has been
used for bedding, or for feed, is spread
over land, it will infect the soil so it
will not be possible to successfully to
raise flax that year, but will not injure
the soil for growing wheat, oats or
other crops than flax. The same is
true of n from infected wheat
straw. He urges that great care should
be exercised in this respect to prevent
soil infection.
Professor Bolley has a national rep
utation because of his discoveries in
flax wilt, the formaldehyde treatment
of seed wheat for smut prevention,
the eradication of potato scab and
other diseases to which plant life is
heir.

BIG SLUMP In IMMIGRATION
Falling OFF of Thirty Per Cent at Port
of New York.

New York, Dec. 23.-One of the
greatest slumps in immigration ever
recorded at the port of New York is
being written into the records at Ellis
island during the closing days of the
year. Already the records show that
nearly 800, 900 fewer immigrants have
landed there up to the present time
than for the corresponding period in
1910 and indications are, Commission
er Williams states, that there will be
a reduction of 80 per cent or more
from 1910 figures for the year.
The incoming tide of humanity is
lower now than at any time since
1908.

mated that two-thinds of the duma
members are in favor of a prohibitive
tariff bill, aimed at American export

The Contemporary Review, a semi
official organ, bitterly attacks Taft as
the instigator of abrogation of the
treaty of 1882.
The Review claims Taft's action
was due to pressure by the Guggen-
helm brothers and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
VINO notified him that they would not

TEN PER CENT INMATES FREE
Action of Pardon Board Draws Much
Comment.

Probably the most talked of event in

Rearick of Cooperstown and Mr.. Fish
er of Strassburg, in setting free at
their December meeting thirty-seven
irmates|of the state penitentiary, in
Guiding in that number three men who
had been sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
The number either given the par
dons or coommuted sentences makes a
total of over 10 per cent of all in
mates of the penitentiary and the gen
erel opinion is that too much lenien-
cy has been shown. The board freed
men whose applications have been re-
peatedly refused by former boards.

M EETS DEATH IN BIN OF FLAX
Elevator Employe Loses Grip Trying
to Clear Chutes.

Arthur Knapp, nineteen years of
age, a resident of Hamar, a small
town located on the Aneta branch OF
the Great Northern, met death in the
Farmers elevator at that place by be-
ing sucked down into a bin of flax.
The accident occurred at noon, the
body being found by searching parties
about 1890.
Knapp was working for his brother,
Peter Knapp, who runs the elevator,
and, while handling the flax, the chutes
became clogged. It was for the pur-
pose Of getting them in working order
that he ventured through, lost his
hold and, before he could regain it, he
was out of reach.
