TRIP A .PERILOUS ONE
JAPANESE PRIEST CROSSED pEs-
ERT TO TIBET.
In His Journey the Most Inhcspltable
Land on the Earth Had to Be
Traversed--vast Unchart-
ed Regions Explored.

Kioto, Japan.--The Rev. Zuicho
Tachibana. a priest of the great West
Hongwanji temple, has returned after
FIVE years passed In exploration in the
virgin po-ts Of central Asia. His jour
ney was undertaken for purposes of
research under the instructions of
Count Otani. the lord abbot Of the
Hongwanji temple. an enthusiastic
geographer. Mr.. Tachibana is a young
man, 20 years old, and of such deli
cate physique that the natives said he
must be woman disguised as a man..
Mr.. Tachibana proceeded from Lon
don to Omsk. and thence by stage
coach to eemipalatins; thence to Tur-
fan Ia. Aeinkians (..the- new terri.
tory'') passable roads were found
During his explorations Mr.. Tachi-
bar,a travelled across the Yakla-Makan
desert, which he describes as the
worst Of all deserts Of central Asia.
Neither bird nor even insectT are to
be found there.
The desert is a sea of sand. where
there IL only the wind to hear and
the moon to see. The party constant
ly met sand mountains more than 12.'
600 feet high and the men began to
grur1ble. fearing that they would be
buried by the constant sandstorms.
On arriving at Coma. on the right
bank OF the River Tarim, he caused
considerable fright among the shep-
herds, as his was the first party from
the south for thirty years. At first
the shepherds fed, but were brought
back. The feat Of crossing the desert
caused Mr.. Tachibana to be treated
with the greatest reverence by the
shepherds.
At this point he left the camel cara
van to follow on slowly, whilst he pro-
ceeded on horseback to Kuchar. which
place he reached after three days.
This 10 3 large town, though not to
be compared with civilized cities.
Nevertheless" said Mr.. Tachibana.
81 felt on entering IL as though had
suddenly been put down in Piccadilly."
Some time was passed In the neigh
borhood Of Kasgar investigating the
buried cities, and afterward the ex-
plorer proceeded through the valley to
the east OF Uzunling to Khotan. the
districts previously explored by DR..
Stein (now Sir Marc Aurel Stein).
Thence the party proceeded to Tibet
for the purpose of geological investiga-
ton.
Several districts we're visited by Mr..
Tachibana, which had been omitted by
DR.. Sven Hedin. These regions are

AS soon as the records Of the jour-
ney have been collated the Hongwanji

Tachibana's exploration, which Will
without doubt be eagerly anticipated
in scientific circles in Europe and
America, as we'll as in Asia.

IMPORT RECEIPTS
BREAK RECORDS
Cattle and Lumber Imported
Here Swell Customs Re
ceipts to $685,00

The total receipts for the FL Paso
custom house, now on deposit for the
fiscal year ending Saturday su-pass
those of any previous year in the his
tory of the local customs house by $751;
600. The total deposited receipts for
the year amounted to $685., 200.
OF that sum S55O,OO0 was received
from cattle importations alone This,
toe, surpassed many of the receipts for
previous years for importations of this
kind, being 100000 more than received
last year on cattle.
The cattle impOrtationS are causing
FL Paso to be recognized throughout
the United States as the greatest tmpor-
tation port in this country. Fully so
percent of the cattle imported to the
United States, statistics show, come
through the FL PasO customs port The
cattle are imported from the large
acts as the shipping and buying center
for these cattle, when they are brought
to the United States.
Lumber importatiOns, too, have be-
come big source Of revenue for the
local customs house and is second to
cattle.
The immense amount of lumber i'm
ported to the United States from Mex
leo by the Pearson companies is through
the FL Paso port, and during the fiscal
year just ended, the company has i'm
ported more lumber than in any precious
year since it has controlled the Pearson
timber lands in the state Of Chihuahua
The customs house is strengthening
up its work for the year and will be
prepared to begin the new fiscal year

surviving members of the family manage
to spend.
Thirty years ago at every fountain
real straws were used, and these were
frequently cracked and rendered useless.
Every bar had a glass of wheat straws,
but they did not fill the bill. 1t re-

vent the paper straw. which filled at
the same time a long-felt want and the
inventors pocket.
Marvin Stone was a young man at the
national capital-a young man with
much brains but few pennies. He was
engaged in the business of making paper
tubes for mailing cases. One day he
went into a bar for julep and tried in
vain to get a straw that was not a dis
grace to the family. So he went back
to the shop, made a bundle of paper
straws, brought them to the barkeeper
as a present and they took at once
A friend supplied capital and Stone went
al once into the paper straw business.
Within a few years he was a wealthy
man, and when he died a few years ago
his estate was rated at S250,000 and his
straws were selling by the hundreds of
gross throughout the world.

system. The postmaster general,
Frank Hitchcock, has approved of the
designs and has made arrangements
for engraving and printing so that
before January /, when the system
becomes operative, they will be

The new stamps will be SO dis

there can be no confusion with the
stamps used for other classes of
mail. There will be three series of
designs. The first will show the
methods of transporting mail. one
showing railway mail train, anoth-
er one of the postal automobiles, and
fourth the dispatch of mail by au

In the second series there will be
shown at work the four great classes
of postal employees, postofiice clerks,
railway mail clerks, city letter car
riers and rural carriers. The third
series will gice four Industrial scenes
showing sources of products that are
to be transported by the parcels

As soon as printed the stamps will
be sent 10 $4,000 postofices in the
United States. Under the law, ordi-
nary stamps will not pay postage on
