In irrigating the water should not

s. F. Russell of Boise, in an ad-
dress on the hill system of strawber-
ny culture, stated the advantages Of
the hill system, explained his meth
cd of preparation of the land and
planting and gave his experience
with different varieties OF strawber-
Tfes.
The hill system has several advan-
tages over the matted row method.
Larger berries are produced; it is
easier to care for the patch and to
cultivate; less water is required and
the plants bear longer and hence may
be kept longer.
Mr.. Russell sets in July on land
that has already produced a crop
of early potatoes. He has prepared
old pasture ground for strawberries
by blowing four inches deep in the
fall and again two inches deeper in
spring and prepared for the potatoes.
These are dug in time so that the
strawberries may be set about the
middle of July. Potatoes are a good
crop to precede the strawberries and
this early crop usually brings four
cents per pound. By this method nc
crop is lost. He said strawberries
may be grown successfully on new
land.
After the potatoes are dug the
ground is plowed, narrowed, irrigat.
ed and marked. The plants are sci
two by three feet, this being done in
the forenoon. After dinner the
ground planted is irrigated after be
ing furrowed. Following the irriga
ton the patch is cross cultivated with
a horse. The runners are not permit
ed grow. They are trimmed off by
means of an old shovel
He said one gets but very few
more berries by spring planting thar

life of the patch be stated that hi
has taken off six crops.

WATER POWER
IN MISSOURI
Dam is Proposed Across the White
River to Develop $500
Horsepower.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-R. w.
Morrison of the st. Louis Car Co., and
Col. John A. Laird are i Washington
seeking legislation which will enable
persons they represent to construct
dam across the White River in Taney
County, Mo-, for water power pur-
poses. The estimated cost of the pro-
posed plant. including the cables for
the transmission of the power to
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-. is about S4O0,00o.
Mr.. Morrison has interested a num-
ber of eastern capitalists, as we'll as
Missourians in the project, and with
Col. Laird will present the matter to
the Committee on Interstate and For
eirn Commerce, of which Representa-
tives James r. Mann of Illinois is
chairman. The enterprise is somewhat
similar to that of the James River
dam. bill for which passed Congress
but was vetoed by former President
Roosevelt, together with bill for a
dam across the Rainy River in Mime
sofa.
Col. Laird says manufacturers In
and near Springfield are anxious to
secure the electric power that can be
furnished by means of the proposed
dam. which is to be located between
Branson and Forsytne. 1t is estimated
that $500 horsepower can be develop
ed.

element.

DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 10.-When
Goyernor-elect Colquitt of Texas was
seated in John Frisbie's aeroplane in
Dallas to have his picture taken the
machine became unmanageable and
ran away, with the governor holding
to the seat and Frisbie being dragged
on the ground trying to get the con-
troll lever, the craft bounded along
the track for several hundred feet.
Finally Frisbie broke the wire that
held the throttle open and the machine
stopped.
In the same machine later Frisbie
crashed into a fence, was thrown sew
eral feet and stunned and the craft
was demolished Frisbie's escape from
injury bordered on the miraculous.
After q short cross-country flight
he headed down for a landing near the
grand stand. A few feet above the
ground he endeavored to shut off his
motor, but the machinery was slow
in responding. His machine was
pointed directly toward several
fences. The first he glided over, but
lost control of the planes before he
reached the second and crashed into
it.
Simon was tanned for the afternoon
when, on his first fight. a sudden
gust of wind almost capsized him. He
had difficulty in righting the craft
and came down Immediately.

SAVINGS WIPED
OUT BY BURGLARS
Old Business Man Stands in the Ruins
Of His Store and Rewails
the Loss Of all
He Had.
WAS A HARD BLOW
Couple Had Worked and Saved for
Years Only to Lose Everything
In the TwInkllns Of an
Eye.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A feeble old
man and woman stood yesterday af-
ternoon in the midst of the ruins of a
business they had spent half cen.
tury building-the whole wiped out in
half an hour by safe blowers. AT one
end OF the store was the wrecked
safe, at the other a broken door,
through which the entire stock Of
jewels had been removed.
II. J. Hitorff and wife, who cele-
brated their f1ftieth wedding ami
versary last Saturday, were the vic
Tins Of the latest Oak Park robbery.
Although the loss will not exceed
$4,000, it represents the entire saw
ings Of Mr.. Hitorff's business career.
Unless relief plans that were being
considered by the suburbs business
men last evening are successful the
aged couple will be poverty stricken.
Mr.. .Hitorff, who is IA years old
went to his store at 20S Lake street
yesterday morning and found the
front of the building in ruins. The
safe, which had held small sum in
cash and practically all of his stock
of jewelry, had been wrecked with
nitro-glycerine and emptied. Nothing
remained except few cheap watches
and timepieces that were being re-
paired
The loot would have filled large
trunk Or half dozen suit cases. Just
how the safe blowers escaped without
bei.g seen the police are unable to
explain
ut seems as if we had been wiped
out at last" said the old business
man, who endeavored to maintain a
brave front in the presence of his
wife. Il have been here forty-tiye
years and had managed to build up a
nice little business. The safe blow
ers have taken everything that was
worth carrying away. To make their
detection more difficult they carried
away the book containing the num-
bers of the watches.
The only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Hitorff died less than six months ago,
and this second trouble seemed more
than the old couple could bear.

HUSHING UP
The DETAILS
Both Germany and England Would
Like to Hear no More About
the Borkum Espionage
Incident.
MYSTERIOUS REGGIE
Newspapers Are flushed by official
Secrets Act in Great Britain
and Censorship 10
Germany.
MYSTERIOUS REGGIE

LONDON, Jan. 10.-When parlia-
ment reassembles, some very search
ing questions will be asked from the
floor of the House of Commons con-
corning the "Borkum espionage Incl
dent"
Whether very much will be found
out is doubtful. 1t is certain that all
the chancellories in Europe have been
working desperately for month to
prevent the story from leaking out in
all it's details. This beins:. the case, it
will be some lively ministerial dodg-
ing when the matter comes up in
parliament. At any rate, the affair is
no ordinary kind Of {; mystery and
many people suspect strongly that,
as result OF it, an Anglo-German
war was very narrowly averted.
1t will be remembered that when
Capt. Bernard F. Trench and Lieut..
Vivian r. Brandon of the British
Royal Marine Light Infantry were
caught spying upon the Notifications
upon the German North Sea Island of
Borkum they admitted that they We're
dllCl lllOl lldClCl NnlCh thCy OAPCStOA
/ to turn over to the English admiral
ity. Tried at Leipisg, they amplified
this confession with the statement
! that the information was to have been
placed in the hands OF certain high
British parsonage referred to by Capt.
Trench simply as Reggie. n
I with such a STORY before them ~
might have been supposed that the
German and English newspapers
/ would have tried to learn more. They
/ did, but everywhere they ran up
against a blank wall, and those which
/ threatened to publish what they mere
I ly suspected received curt intimations
that there would be trouble if they
printed anything more than the usual
official matter and ordinary mild
comment.
! This was effective enough in Ger
4 many, where there is e censorship. In
England it wasn't quite SO easy but it
can be done in emergencies. The Off
cial Secrets Act is a pretty formida-
BILE weapon and editors have whole
some respect for 1t. However, its use
4 is never threatened except In cases of
4 the gravest necessity. Evidently, then,
the Borkum incident was considered
very grave indeed.
i The most natural conclusion is that
Captain Trench and Lieut.. Brandon
were not spying on their own account,
with vague hope of reward or OF
serving their country, but that there
I was definite evidence to show that
they were acting under official orders
from the admiralty and that SO ex-
alted an individual could Eve been
shown to have been implicated in the
affair as to have created an interna-
tional commotion. Why Germany
should have aided the English in
bushing the matter up is not SO clear.
though pressure from mutually
friendly powers might have been re-.
sponsible for it.
1t may be only a coincidence that
Secretary of the Navy McKenna bears
the name of Reginald, or Reggie"
