Japanese and British In Rate War.

Japanese and British I'm Rate War.
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the
British India Line are engaging m a
fierce competition in the Indian line.
The N. Y. K authorities observe that
tition even to mourning some losses
The British company once succeeded
in driving the Bay of Bengal Steam
ship Company out of the line, and with
the same plan she is opposing the N.
Y. K The president of the company
is personally conducting the campaign
at Calcutta. The steamers have been
increased from five to nine, and the
line will be extended to Kobe SO that
the starting point may be made the
same with that of the N. Y. K, and
great discount of freight has been
made Thus the British company is
going to compete with the japanese
company on great scale. According
to the N. Y. K. authorities, however,
the Jinsen Maru and five other yes
ksels are gradually invading the
sphere of influence of the British
company. Especially in the line be-
tween Calcutta and Rangoon the Jap
anese company is receiving great ia
vor from the deck passengers. The
company will also reduce freight by
one-third or one-fourth, and the two
steamers recently purchased from
England will be shortly added to the
line, thus showing determination oil
the japanese company to continue the
competition to the last.

UNSANITARY COUNTY JAILS.
continued from last week.

The laws of Idaho very wisely pro
vide for the removal of the prisoners
to the Jail of a contiguous county
when the county Jail becomes unfit
or unsafe for their confinement (sec
So 32); and this remains operative
until new Jail is built, or until the
Jail is rendered fit and safe. This
will be great expense to your coun.
ty, but after the disclosures made by
my inspection, supported as my con-
illusions are by your medical men,
one of whom is your county physi-
clan and another your ex-county
physician for six years, nothing else
remains to be done until the people
of Latah remedy that condition.
understand in addition to my inves-
legations, that representative body
of your best citizens, nine in num-
Der, made an inspection of your Jail,
and in an exhaustive report denounc
ed the conditions as a disgrace and
menace to the health and lives of
every one incarcerated there; that
a mass convention of Latah county
officials and others said the same
thing; that both federal and district
judges have concurred in their con-
clusions; that your news papers
have published these facts repeated
Certainly then there can be no ex-
cuse, after all this publicity to long
er maintain such conditions.
Because of federal prisoners having
been committed to Your sheriff. |
have gone over the entire situation
with Hon. f. S. Dietrich, United
States district judge for Idaho, and
attach herewith copy of his conclu-
sions to me, which are for your con-
sideration.
| am sending a copy of this report
to Hon. E. G. Steele, your district
judge, with a request that he make
some expressions in open court, as
shall seem right and proper, and
which will strengthen your hands In
accomplishing for the people of your
county what is for their good and
for the safety of their wards, and |
assure you in conclusion, that the
state of Idaho, through its board of
health and its sanitary departments,
stands ready to extend all the help
at its command to abolish forever
the lamentable conditions which ex-
list at your county seat.
Respectfully submitted

The Origin and Nature of Alkali Soils
ORIGIN.


ORIGIN.
In general the various areas of al
kali lands occurring throughout the
world are due to climatic conditions.
In most cases their existence can be
traced to a rainfall which is insuffi-
cient to leach out certain soluble
salts-always produced by the wealth
ering of the soil forming rocks
that are detrimental to plant growth.
When the rainfall is abundant these
salts are leached out into the lower
waters with which they find their
way to small streams and finally to
the ocean.
In case the rainfall is light these
soluble salts are not washed down
but are really washed up to the sur
face. This is due to the factl that tia
soil moisture is carried to the sur
face, bringing not only the salts ne
cessary for plants but also harmful
alkali salt as evaporation takes place
Here they all tend to accumulate TO
form what are known as white aka
IL and black alkali'' deserts and
spots.

rain falls on land containing sodium
carbonate and bicarbonate it gives a
solution which dissolves part of the
soil humus, and as evaporation takes
place this humus is carried to the
surface and deposited in black spots
of puddles. From the resulting ap-
pearance it gets the name black al
