the main product of the territory is
wheat, barley and fax great success
has been met with in the raising Of
dairy produce. During the past two
or three years a good deal Of expert
menting with corn and alfalfa has
been done, and the success which has
been met with has been remarkable,
and will be the means of making the
territory an ideal dairying spot. The
fact that the butter made at LaMoure
has for several years taken leading
prizes at various state and county ex-
hibits indicates that the dairying fea-
ture Of farming can be made to pay
and in the very near future the an
nual sale of dairy products will be
a large item Of profit to the farmers
of the territory. Even now you will
find farming carried on in accordance
with the most up-to-date scientific
methods, and with the very best de-
veloped ideas in farm machinery, and
yet, the successful experiments with
alfalfa, rye and clover and the con-
tinual increase of the dairying indus
try indicate that it is but the begia-
ming Of more diversified farming.
Farm improvements will equal those
in any other farming communities in
the state and with hardly an excep-
ton the money to build them was de-
rived from the products Of the soil
of the very same farms on which they
are located.

WHEN sNAkEBlTE is FATAL.

Mr.. Julius Hurter, the st. Louis
herpetologist, was telling what he
would do in case he were bitten by a
poisonous snake. Like almost all
naturalists, Mr. Hurter has never Der.
sonally known of an instance In which
a snake ever killed any one. Un-
doubtedly people have been killed by
poisonous snakes in this country, but
men who catch them and handle them
as Mr.. Hurter does, almost never hap
pen to know of these cases except by
hearsay. Nevertheless, Mr.. Hurter
does not go unprepared. He always
takes into the field with him per-
manganate of potassium and strych-
nine.
IF a poisonous snake bit me-" he
said, Il would at once open the flesh
between the two small wounds made
by the fangs and make the place bleed
freely. This would wash away some
part of the poison. If l could, l would
suck the wound also, and then apply
the permanganate of potassium
simultaneously with the application of
the potassium l would begin taking
strychnine at the rate of 20 minims
(drops) every Is minutes, and con-
tinue taking it until cramps in the
calves of the legs indicated that the
danger was passed"
How long ought that to be?" he
was asked.
mot very long"
But would you keep on taking the
strychnine until you had the cramps
in the legs, no matter how long It
was?"
"Yes."
But If there was no cramps?"
In that case" he said, "the bite
would be fatal, for I would very soon
kill myself with the strychnine.-St.

good roads no real development is
possible. There is hardly county in
the state that has not already made
or is figuring on making a bond issue
for good roads. The boards action in
this instance, it is believed, will meet
with hearty approval. The only crit.
icism heard is that the amount au-
thorized is entirely too small. Many
counties in the state have authorized
twice as large an issue for a single
beat as is now proposed for this entire
county. This criticism is met by the
board with the statement that when
the people see what use they have
made of $4,000, there will be such a
general approval that any required
amount can then be issued with the
full consent of the tax payers. An
other reason given is, that by going
slow and making issues only as they
can be used, the tax payers will save
in the interest account.

BECKER DEPOSITED
LARGE SUMS
MONEY
HAD ACCOUNTS IN WIDELY sEPA-
RATED BANKS, DEPosiTINo
UNDER ASSUMED NAMES.
(By Associated Press J

New York, Aug. 10.-Large sums of
money were deposited by Police Lieu
tenant Becker in widely separated saw
ings banks, according to stories told
by members of the prosecutors staff
today. These deposits were the pro-
ceeds, the public prosecutor believes,
of gambling blackmail He said Beck
er opened accounts under assumed
names.
Although Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker declared yesterday he had
nothing to confess in connection with
the Rosenthal murder, of which he is
the accused instigator, District Attor-
ney Whitman learned tnat the prisoner
was ready to make some disclosures
under certain conditions. The condi-
tions imposed, however, are more than
the district attorney is willing or able
to grant and he is waiting for Becker
to make other overtures.
Strong influences are being exerted
the prosecutor has learned, to keep
Becker from saying anything to
strengthen the evidence regarding al
legged gambling graft on the part of
other high police officials whose in
dictment Mr.. Whitman seeks.
The district attorney says he is
steadily picking up evidence against
the police lieutenant which he thinks
will altar his attitude.
Mr.. Whitman also learned that
Jack Sullivan, who has been involved
in the murder plot by several witness
es, was ready to make a confession
that would corroborate the stories
told by BALD jack Rose, Bridge"
Webber and Harry Vallon who have
obtained a promise of leniency for
turning states evidence. 1t became
known also that Giovanni Stanich,
one of the sixteen witnesses who ap-
peared before the grand jury yester-
day, as an eye witness to the MUIR
der, had identified the four men ac-
cused of the actual shooting of Rosen-
thai and also had identified Jack Sui
livan as having been on the scene and
having left with the murderers in the
gray automobile.

CAN NEW YORK BE
EASILY TAKEN.

New York, Aug. 1O.-New Workers.
today are keeping a nervous eye out
toward the Narrows, watching for hos
tile smoke, and any minute the towers
of the Singer building and the Wool
worth building are expected to be
clipped off with a projectile. The
National Guardsmen are hurrying
North, into middle Connecticut, leav-
ing the city to shift for itself with
nothing but the guns of the forts to
bar the approach of the enemy. The
newspapers of the city are informing
the citizens that it is necessary for
the guardsmen to go north, for there
is hostile army approaching the city
and an army need scarcely get with.
in forty miles of New York in order to
reduce it entirely.
At least that is the condition of af-
fairs according to the plan of the most
extensive and important maneuvers
ever held between the United States
and the National Guard. Twenty
thousand men are taking part in the
maneuvers, which are attracting the
attention Of the whole military world
and which have been the subject of
exciting discussion for weeks past.
The maneuvers are the largest in the
history of the country. In the Massa-
chusetts war games of 1909 there were
some 10000 men engaged, while at the
regular army mobilization last year
there were $4,000 or 10000 troops, but
this was counting by regiments.
Counting also by regiments in the
present instance, there would be about
10000 men in the campaign, to impart
to the greener guardsmen something
of the knack of war. The point of in
terest in these and other maneuvers is
how the men from cities and farms
will carry themselves in crisis. The
maneuvers are under the supreme COM
mand of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, but
over 100 officers of the regular army
are participating in them.

St Louis, Aug. 10.-Charles Rick,
one of the most prominent manufac-
turers of this city today went to JEFF
ferson City with a novel proposition
to put before Warden Andrae and the
State Board of Prison Inspectors. He
will make an appeal to have every
able-bodied convict in the state peni
tentiary put to work extracting alum
mum from Missouri clay. Existing
contracts at the penitentiary expire
early next year, and after that a state
law prohibits the contract system OF
convict labor. The convicts by their
labor, under the contract system, earn
about 100000 a month, but Governor
Hadley contends that it is nothing to
the credit of Missouri that her peniten.
tiary be self-sustaining.
