conditions. They make good wages,
but they cannot save much, for the ex'
penses of the city take away the mon
ey almost as fast as it is possible TO
make it. Consequently the land shows
gave them an opportunity to find the
new home.
When we began our plans for this
exposition we discovered that in the
far Northwest and in the South and
Southwest there was a strong com
munity spirit prevailing, and the peo-
pie we're working together to send the
best they produced to Chicago and
Omaha. Then we went into our own
territory in Idaho and looked it over.
Much of this spirit was lacking. That
meant that Idaho was not to have
adequate representation.
I'VE people of the Union Pacific
know what Idaho can do, and so do
the men and women of this state, but
the East, especially in the vicinity OF
Chicago, know little. 1t was getting
along close to the time when quick
action was necessary and so we sent
men out into Idaho. who gathered up
the best of the fruits and cereals, the
finest grasses and the records OF the
wonderful yields. All OF the products
were packed in Union Pacific cars and
sent to Chicago and Omaha free OF
charge, and there placed In the Idaho
booth of the Union Pacific. where
they attracted widespread attention.
Only q Few Years from Desert
Idaho is one of the newest Of the
reclaimed states, and yet we secured
products of the soil which were the
superior of any grown in the midwest
ern states. It is less than a decade
since Idaho was little more than des-
ert, yet today there are handsome
homes. miles upon miles OF well-im-
proved. prosperous farms and some OF
the finest fruit orchards | ever saw.
That was our problem, to show these
wonderful things to the people who
were looking for homes.
I'm our lecture halls we told
thousands upon thousands OF peo-
ple what Idaho could do and what
she had to offer. Our stereopticon
and moving pictures portrayed the
wonderful work being done by the
United States reclamation service, and
also by some of the big irrigation COM
panies, and our lecturers save facts
and figures that opened the eyes of
hard headed old farmers who were
satisfied with crop return of $40 or
s12 an acre.
some of these men went TO the at
tendants in charge of our Idaho booth |
and questioned the statements made I
in the lecture halls. They were sup |
plied with the literature we had on !
hand and were given government sta
tistics in support of the facts told. |
These methods won hundreds of men.
and the result has been shown in the /
influx of new families to the state. /

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-Chief topic
among naval officers here is the ques-
ton as to how the battleship Maine
was destroyed AS the lower works OF
the great ship are further exposed to
view, each side seemingly finds new
evidence to substantiate their side of
the controversy, and it is doubtful if
the real cause will ever be definitely
settled. The finding of pieces of steel
supposed to be part of the ships keel
has led to a renewal of the opinion
that the Maine was blown up by an
external explosion.
Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright,
executive officer on the Maine at the
time of her destruction, has persist
emily maintained that the explosion
came from mine, and not from the
inside.
81 think if it has not yet been
proven that the Maine was blown up
from the outside the result of the
present investigation will bear out
this belief" Admiral Wainwright said
General William H. Bixby, L. S. A.,
engineer who was in charge of the
clearing away of the Maine wreck,
said:
There is nothing in sight now to
show what caused the explosion, and
there may never be any such conclu-
sive evidence exposed. When the
magazines of the Maine blew up they
threw the upper decks about in all
directions. This force must have
pulled up parts of the ship from be.
low, in view of the fact that all parts
and pieces of the ship are rivetted to-
gether.
"The pieces of steel that have been
found recently, may have been thrown
up from the lower decks of the ship.
That they are pieces of the keel can
not be stated now with certainty. It
will take several months before any
specific deductions can be made"
The following telegram from Ha.
vana to the Washington Post seems to
strengthen the Wainwright side of
the controversy:
The cofferdam about the wreck OF
the United States battleship Maine,
sunk in this harbor the night of Feb.
Is, 1898, has been pumped out more
than ever before, and the cutting

of the keel standing in a perpendicular

Catherine continues to neglect to sa-
lutte she can not be admitted to the
public school.
Mr.. King has given the following
explanation of the affair to interview
ers: my daughter Catherine asked
me some time ago." he said, whether
she was a British subject, although
born in the United States. l told her
that as long as l was British she also
was British. Catherine then asked IL
she could truthfully salute the flag
and repeat the oath of allegiance. 1
answered that she must at all times
be absolutely respectful and reverent
in her attitude towards the United
States flag, but that she could not own
allegiance to it"
The incident has been treated at
great length in the American Press,
which, in a spirit of truly admirable
federation, inclines to agree with Mr..
King that too much fuss has been
made by the educational authorities in
regard to GATHERINGS scruples. Cath
crime will in future attend a private
school where it is not necessary to
swear allegiance to the American flag.

Uprisings In Europe
Every Important Country Stirred by
Popular Agitation---General
Unrest---Revolt Against
Higher Prices

LONDON, September 23.-Today's
news gathered from all parts of the
old world tells of socialist uprisings,
food riots, general strikes, wars or
preparations for war in every impor-
tant country in Europe, with the
minor exceptions of Holland, Sweden
and Switzerland A careful analysis
of the situation in each of the coun-
tries which are now taking part in a
general movement of unrest such as
Europe has not before experienced in
the present generation reveals the fact
that in every case socialistic agitation
or revolt against the fast increasing
cost of living is at the bottom of the
disturbance. Everywhere there is evil
dence that workingmen are becoming
convinced they are not getting their
fair share of the wealth which they
produce, and for the first time they
are applying the principle of a gen.
eral strike, which has so long been
preached by socialist agitators.
Rising bank rates and declining gov
eminent securities show the serious
ness with which the situation is re-
garded in financial quarters. British
consols, which have been gradually
falling off for months, established a
new low record. French, German and
other continental government securi-
ties tell the same story. The most
critical condition at the present mo-
ment undoubtedly exists in Spain. De.

Biggest DreadnOught Too
Swift For Fair ChriStener

Philadelphia Public Ledger: The
huge Moreno, Argentinas second
superdreadnought battleship, made
such a quick getaway from her moor
ings in the yards of the New York
Shipbiulding Company in Camden
yesterday that she slid into the
murky waters Of the Delaware I'M
named. OF course, she is the Moreno
whether Sonora Isabel Betbeder said
so or not, bu' the fact remains that
the Sonora was busily engaged in
conversation with a friend when the
enormous hulk trembled, lurched and
began to slide. The entire party on
the stand was electrified. Sonora Bet
beder, who is the wife of Admiral
Onofre Betbeder, president of the
Argentine Naval Commission and a
former Minister of Marine, stood
still with the neck of the bottle
clutched in her right hand The cord
holding the bottle grew taut, and it
looked for the moment as though
there was to be no christening.
Robert Aitken Workman, who is

launch master for the New York
Shipbuilding Company, came to the
rescue.
Strike! Strike!" he shouted. And
as he did he stepped toward her
as though to knock the bottle from
her hand.
She made a long, low throw and
the bottle caught the battleship
sGuarely on the narrow prov. AS a
result it exploded, and Sonora Bet
beder, the Admiral, Mr.. Workman
and several others were deluged in
a shower of foaming champagne. It
all happened so quickly and unex-
pectedly that the Sonora was strick-

Infant Paralysis Both
Infectious and Contagious

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S-An i'm
portant discovery has been made in
the laboratories of the department
of clinical pathology of the Cornell
University Medical School relative to
infantile paralysis, and is reported
in the current issue of The New
York Medical Journal. DR.. M. Nou-
staedter Ct the New York University
and Bellevue Hospital College Gin
ical and DR.. William c. Thro, assist
ant professor Of clinical pathology at
the Cornell Medical School, have
proved that acute poliomyelitis is
both infectious and contagious; that
it is propagated by dust from rooms
in which patients suffering from the
disease are confined, and that it gains
entrance through the nose. ut be-
comes perfectly evident" they con-
clude, that prophylactic measures
should be most rigidly carried out
in order to check the spread of this
disease"
The two physicians maintained this
theory, and started out to prove it
by experiments with monkeys. Here
is a part of their report Expert
mental poliomyelitis has hitherto
been produced from the cords and
brain substance of children who died
from the disease. To DR.. FleXner we
are indebted for the knowledge that
the disease is infectious and that the
virus is filterable through a BerE-
field filter, The question whether we
are dealing with a contagious affec-
ton was still an open one. The
source of contagion has been a mys-
terry, though speculation and expert
mentation along these lines are well
nigh universal
"The theory which we are now in
a position to prove was based on the
following facts The disease is emin-
emily an infantile one, occurring in

English Schoolgirl Would
Not Salute Stars and Stripes

London Daily Mail; A young Eng
lish school girl who refused to salute
the STARS and Stripes" and swear al
legiance to the United States has set
the entire state of New Jersey in an
uproar.
1t is the patriotic custom in parts
of that state for school teachers to
begin morning school by standing on
platform and unfurling the national
flag. The boys and girls rise and per-
form solemn salute and chant, 81
pledge allegiance to my flag and the
republic for which it stands. One ma
ton indivisible, with liberty and JUS
tice to all"
A few mornings ago a school teach
Ter in the town of Perthamboy noticed,
to her horror, that the lips of Gather
line King, an English girl, remained
tightly closed during the patriotic re-
cital. Catherine is the daughter of
English parents resident at Pertham-
boy, and her little brother had some
time previously aroused the indigna-
ton OF, his schoolfellows by neglecting
to exhibit a proper degree of enthusi-
asm when the STARS and Stripes"
were waved. The teacher censured

the salute properly, was expelled

Kitchener Pasha, The Man
For Whom Egypt Is Waiting

London Daily Mail: Lord Kitchener
sails this weekend for Port Said, and
Egypt enters upon new phase of
her long and checkered career. The
late Sirdar of the Egyptian army will
carry with him the hopes of every ma
ton to whom the future of the Nile
Valley is of significance.
Fully to appreciate the Importance
of Lord Kitchener's appointment at
Cairo it is necessary to recall the sue
,oession of events which have led to it.
During her thirty years history mod
ern Egypt has felt the influence of
two civilians. Under Lord Cromer
she shook off the letters of bank
ruptcy, regained her self-respect, and
became commercially and socially sol
vent. Under the iron rule of 1.-The
Lord" as he was Familiarity called,
Egypt began swiftly to work out her
salvation.
Benevolent despotism was the name
given to that rule, and a happier
definition of the great Agents admin
istrative attitude it would be impos-
sible to find. The Lord" was per.
feet example of the benevolent despot,
and the fruits of his pnfinching OBJ
stinacy in carrying out his plan Of
campaign in the face of apparently in
superable difficulties are to be found
in the oft-quoted prosperity of the
country over which he exercised so
remarkable an influence.
Then came the accession of Sir
Eldon Gorst to the seat of government,
and with him the first change Theo-
.retically identical with those of Lord
Cromer, Sir Eldon Gorst's instruc-
itions in reality contained essential
notifications. The happy7go-lucky
Egyptian, after twenty-five years of
unquestioning obedience to skilled in
struction, was to be allowed a freer
hand, to be given a chance to show
how far he had profited by his lesson.
With the results of that disastrous
policy it is unnecessary to deal at any
length now. The experiment was a
complete fiasco.
The Man Who Knows.
Nobody who has had any experience
of the country will deny that in Lord
Kitchener the Foreign Secretary has
found an ideal man to deal with the
difficult situation thus artificially
created in Egypt. His knowledge of
the distressful country of the Nile
ranks with that of Lord Cromsr, al
though it lies principally in another
