AS Breeding Ground for Alaska

A bill was recently introduced INTO
congress for the establishment or Just
such work in Colorado and also 1or
governments that would breed drought
resistant vegetables for the desert.
:. The methods employed in this eS
detrimental work are exceedingly IN
teresting. If for instance, it was de-
cided to find wheat that would ma

in the hill country north of the arctic
circle this is how it would be done:
First the hardest seed of all the mar

from Russia, Scandinavia, Canasa ant
Alaska. Then it would be planted IN
Mace where it would be unlikely Il

that from some mysterious strain o

would stand unframed by the autumn
frosts. It's seed would be treasure

1,ck OF Horses Alarms Officers

airy and published by the department
of agriculture, doubt is expressed on
the subject. The army type is SAID
to be scarce and hard to obtain.
Capt. Conrad recommends legis-
latiop by the states generally to pre-
vent the breeding of unsound horses.
In 1908 the government established
the system of remount depots for the
army. Under this system the govern
ment buys the horse young, at three
n four years old, and after breaking
them issues them to the troops. THIS
system has been found preferable to
purchasing the animals when matured.
But what the army officers want. and
also the Departmental agriculture, is
a system of government supervision OF
the breeding of horses for the army
Chief George M. Rommel of the ami
i nal husbandry division of the bureau
Of animal industry, has devised plar
whereby from 1000 to $500 well-bret
animals would be available for thu
army every year This would abou
sunply the demands in time of peace
1t is proposed to divide the countr,
into four districts and to rear MOI
, cans. thoroughbreds, standardized
and saddlers. In time the best typ
would be discovered.

s Merry BURGLAR.

The newest burglar with whom the
Wilkes, Barre, Pa, police have had to
deal is the man who on Wednesday
opened the bakery shop of w. G.
Hickman. OF Nescopeck, while the
Hickman family was out of town, and
sold bread, cakes and pies which we're
displayed in the showcases. The
Hickman family on wednesday went
to Beach Haven to see relatives, and
early in the morning the burglar
opened the store, having gained an
entrance through side window and
conducted the business. Net only
that, but he gave such bargains that a
number of people went TO the store to
get cakes and pies for half price.
When he had about sold out, the burg
lar closed the store, pocksted the
money be had taken in and disap-
peared. He is still at large.

and soon became convinced that peo-
pie OF both sections of the country we're
the victims of gross libels.
Now that fifty years have passed
away it is amusing to recall the dreams
and wild ideas which prevailed in both
sections OF the country in the early
part Of the year 1851. Many people
in the north supposed that the task Of
crushing the south would prove rs
easy as suppressing the Nat Turner
insurrectioa. Lieutenant General Win
field Scott said that seventy-fye thous-
and men and campaign OF ninety
DAYS would bring the secession move
ment to q close. On the other hand
the people of the south were
victims OF gross decisions. AT
the fall OF Fort Sumter Governor
Pinkney of South Carolina, said:
I'VE have humbled the flag of the
United States. We have defeated their
twenty millions; we have brought down
in humility the flag that has triumpheu
for seventy years; today. on this 10th
day OF April, 1861, it has been hum.
bled, and humbled before the glorious
little state of South Carolina.
At Montgomery, Ala, on April
18th, 1861, Walker, the Confederale
Secretary OF War, said:
No man can tell where the war thi:
day commenced will end, but ! VII
prophssy that the flag which now
flaunts the breeze here will float ove'
the dome Of the Capitol at Washington
before the first day Of May. Let them
try southern chivalry, and test the eS
tent OF southern resources, and it may
float eventually over Fanneil Hall.
jefferson Davis was equally optl
mistic. In his speeches on his way tc
Montgomery, Ala. to be inauguratet
as President he said
England will recognize US and
glorious future is before us. The gras:
will grow in the northern cities, where
the pavemeuts have been worn off by
the tread of commerce. We will carry
the war where it is easy TO advance
| where food for the sword and torcf
awaits our armies in the densely popu
lated cities. The enemy may come
and spoil our crops, but we can raise
them as before; they cannot rear agar
the citios which took years OF industr,
and millions Of money 10 build. W.
are now determined to maintain ou
position, and make all who oppose u
smell southern powder and feel south
ern steel
In his first message to the Confede
rate Congress, however, he seemed t.
have realized the seriousness OF the con
ditions by which the south was sur
rounded, and in that document said al
the south asked was to be let alone.
"reminiscences similar to the above
doubtless brought smiles TO many
northern and Southern soldiers on Bull

HELD FOR MURDER

A dispatch from Clifton Forge, says:
Edward Hall, accused Of the murder
of Miss Dona Nicely, still refuses to
make statement. He is confined in
the county Jail at Covington. He IS
cool and collected and apparently I'M
concerned. His preliminary trial will
not be held until Tuesday or Wednes-
day next. When Hall was arrested
he gave the officers the pistol with
which the woman was killed and told
them that she had committed suicide.
Hall also states that he spent the en-
tire evening with the girl and that they
had started out with the idea OF COM
pleting their suicide pact by hanging.
This part of the story is borne out by
the fact that the dead girl purchased
20 feet OF rope the night the supposed
suicide vas to take place. The coro.
ner's jury found that the woman had
come to her death at the hands oil
Edward Hall. The rope in question
was found about 20 yards from where
the woman'n body was discovered by
some berrypickcrs. Hall made no state
ment rs TO Why he carried off the p's-
tol after the alleged suicide and failed
to notify the police.
