HIS ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Prince krspotkIn's Release In Russia
Was InsenIousIy Conceived
and Carried Out.

In originality Of conception and
ingenuity of execution, the escape of
Prince Krapotkin from the prison
OF the Nikolaievsk Military hospital
in st. Petersburg in 1876 probably
is unparalleled in prison annals.
Twelve conspirators outside the pris-
on took part in it, but not one of
them was ever arrested or suspected,
although many of them were subse-
quently banished to Siberia for other
political offenses.
The escape was made in broad
daylight, about five o'clock in the
afternoon, in the presence of three
armed soldiers, and with such novel
accessories as cherries, opera hats,
a louise, music, a black mare and a
microscope. The chances were at
least ten to one that it would fail,
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
ingenuity with which it was planned,
but every device and stratagem
worked perfectly, and the liberated
prisoner dined that night in Donon's
restaurant, the most fashionable in
st. Petersburg, while the entire po-
lice of the capital were ransacking
the city in search of him.
Nobody even imagined that he
would be shrewd and bold enough to
take his dinner in so public a place,
and not single detective looked for
him there, although search was made
in scores of other places, and every
exit from the city was so carefully
guarded that a mouse could hardly
have crept through unobserved.-

THE TASK AT HAND.

The late Clara Barton, head OF
the American Red Cross, was a
Christian in perhaps the best sense
the practical and unselfsh sense.
Miss Barton, in an interview in New
York about the tenement-house
laws, once said to a reporter: "T'd
neglect church, I'd neglect religion,
to get our vile and unwholesome
slums all swept away" She paused,
then added: 1--WE ought not to con-
slider the mansions awaiting us on
the other side of Jordan, you know,
while there's an unsolved housing
problem so near home"

Go West Now.

Officials of the Reclamation Ser
vice are now at work on the prob
lem of getting settlers to take up
the farms which have been re-
claimed from the desert by irriga-
ton. In league with colonization
agents of the Western railroads,
they are trying to attract young
men from the Eastern cities. Any
delay in getting settlers on a COM
pleted project means that further
work by the Government in put
ting through other irrigation prof.
ects will be delayed. The money
available for further work must
come from the payment by indi-
viduals of the cost of completed
projects. Here is an investment
opportunity for the young man.
He can write to the Reclamation
Bureau at Washington for facts.
What he is told by the bureau he
may rely on. A great body of in
formation, based upon years of
actual experience, is there. Also,
railroads are telling the truth about
opportunities in the West. No
city wants to keep the man. who
can do well on a farm; no city can
pay him as we'll as the land will
pay him. Few of us in cities are
tied there by vested interests; the
average young Americans capital
is his brains. Routine work in
organized business is being taken
care of by machines and underpaid
clerks; the paying jobs are won by
those who show special aptitude.
At this time no form of enterprise
calling for the investment of small
capital will yield better profits than
the cultivation of land, if brains
are used. Go West, or South, or
to Canada, if you will. This is the
time to get in on the ground
floor" There are scores of hands
held out to help the ambitious and
the thrifty. Within ten years land
values may rise as much as they
did in the decade from 1900 to
1910. They doubled in that pc
riod. Farming is going to become
an organized, scientific business.

or brain capacity for it.-Collier's.

HOUSE OPPOSES STIMSoN
Adamson Tells Him He Hinders
Water Power DEVELOPMENT.

Washington, Aug. War was declared
to-day between the House of Representa-
tives and the War Department on the
question of granting individuals the right
to take up water power sites, when Chair
man Adamson of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee wrote a sharp let
ter to Secretary Stimson concerning the
problem. Mr.. Sumson previously had
written to Mr. Adamson, protesting
against an omnibus water power site
measure reported favorably by his COM
mittee.
Your letter presents singular ad-
mixture of correct statements long well
known, unwarranted conclusions and err
roneous opinions OF both law and thei
fact" wrote Mr.. Adamson.
The chairman declared the government
could not undertake TO develop all the
projects that he held were necessary to
the advancement OF the country, and that
private enterprise. with strict limitations.
should be allowed to invest its capitals
and energy in that development.
He secuted the idea Of a water power
trust" and insisted that the Secretary
Of War III Re did his duty" had legal
means and authority to safeguard thel
government I'm all such leases. Mr.. Adam
son condemned the existing law. which
prevented capital from undertaking water
power development work. He said hum
dreds of water power sites, which might
be adapted to the public good, were un-
developed.

the laws governing the situation. Mr.
Adamson declared that compensation
scarcely could be asked from one who, at
2 cost of several hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars. constructed a dam and locks
across a navigable stream and added TO
the comfort of the people and the good
of the government. He said the Secre-
tary's idea that he could command such
compensation was a splendid idea II
the latter could find capitalists easy
enough TO be worked that way"
Mr.. Adamson asked Secretary Stimsol
rot to use his powerful official position"
to prevent the passage OF the omnibus
bill. AS TO tie Secretary Of War stand
ing In the way, he said:
I know you would not purposely do so.

Senator Cummins warned the gov
