THE MoLAssEs TRADE.

San Francisco Seaman's Journal,
January 1O.-The molasses-in-bulk
trade of the Hawaiian Islands has
grown to such size that it has been
found necessary to convert a large
vessel into what may be termed a
"molasses tanker" The Hyades, of
the Matson Navigation Company, is
to be placed in the yards of the
Moran company at Seattle and altera-
tons will be made in the interior Of
the ship so that large quantities of
molasses may be conveniently han
died in bulk. The changes in the
ship will cost in the neighbOrhood OF

yet today, as one walks down the
crowded Nevski Prospekt or along
the Morskaia, as one drives over the
bridges to the islands, or stands with
in the Cathedral or the Opera House,
it is difficult indeed to realize that,
little more than two centuries ago, all
this was desolate morass of the kind
seen from the Nord Express between
the city and the frontier.
1t is a city of great spaces and de-
serted squares. It's population must
exceed two millions, yet the tourist
will find immense emptiness between
crowded quarters. Although, more
over, the city struggles along the
Neva, it can not be said to have resi-
Dental suburbs along the railway, for
the train seems to come suddenly on
its slums from the open plain. It's
vast unused spaces doubtless have
owners, but these seem unable or I'M
count, and one is irresistibly remind
ed of Tolstoy's story of the victim of
his own greed who, having been prom
ised the freehold of as much land as
he could walk around in a day, fell

cult
What are the features of the streets
most likely to strike the intelligent
| foreigner! If it be not immodest on
my part to suggest, l should say the
fine figures of the men, who are still,
as Marco Polo described them long
ago, extremely well favored, TALL and
of fair complexion" the endurance Of
the izvostechik ii. e., cabby) and his
horse, the rapidity with which a heavy
snowfall it dealt with, the humble
frontage of some of the best and most
Expensive shops, and the abundance
of canals. The officers are among the
finest specimens of their kind any
where in the world, and here let me
say that they compare very favorably
indeed with those of another Cont

bility. AS a case in point, was buy
ing some typical photographs of
horses, including cavalry, in a large
shop, and the man behind the coun-
ter was quite unable to tell me the
different regiments represented. A
tall officer happened to be making
purchases at the same counter, and
he most kindly came to the rescue,
speaking excellent French, and gave
me all the information l required. In
the other country he would have
Iclanked his sword and given me look
that froze, or tried to.
The drivers and their horses are
unique in my experience of city vehi

CLAIMS TAXES UN-
 EQUAL ON CATTLE

The state tax commission in allowing an arbitrary raise on the cattlemen without going to the trouble of equalizing the assess ment of livestock all over the state is taking the lazy and unjust way of raising the revenue from taxa tion," said Geo, w. Atkinson, the pioneer cattleman of Santa Cruz county, on his return from Nogales where he appeared before the board of supervisors sitting as a board of equalization, against a raise in his assessment.
 It would be comparatively easy for the tax commission to equalize the assessments of live stock" said MT. Atkinson. The records of shipments are available through the Livestock Sanitary board. A careful investigation by the commission would disclose that some cattlemen are now pay ing on B I-3 per cent of their herds, while others are paying on from 70 to 100 per cent.''
 In Santa Cruz county, for ex- ample, the tax payers are assessed on a basis of 70 per cent while in Pima county the assessment has been made on basis of about B I-3 per cent.

Fires in the Rain

There are several ways of build ing a camp fire that an ordinary rain will not put out. This is one Lay two sticks on the ground parallel with each other, and iron two to four times as far apart as the diameters of the sticks. Acros: the two lay two more, as if yor were starting a cob house. | necessary, drive stakes into the ground to keep the sticks in place
 For the next story of the col house use only one stick, and place that on the side on which you are to be when the fire is burning. These five sticks may be green. Dry wood makes a better fire, but it needs re- building sooner.
 Roof over the cob house with any kind of dry wood. The harder the rain, the more wood there will have to be if this roof is to shed water. Each stick of the roof should rest on the backlog and on the last--the fifth--stick of the cob house, and be kept in place by the side sticks.
 Fill the inside of the house with kindlings, and set fire to them. The roof will burn on the under side, where the heat of the fire keeps it dry. As each stick burns through, it falls into the fire that fills the interior of the cob house. The camper watches the fire, and cooks through the opening be- tween the fore stick and the top stick that supports the roof. He also feeds brands and small kind lings through this opening, but puts the large sticks on the roof.
 It is surprising to see in how hard rain this kind of a fire will burn. The Youths Companion.

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Rickart, Correspondent)

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 22, 1912. Cattle sold a little lower all around last week, caus- ine considerable protest from shippers. Buyers claim consump- ton is decreasing, hence their re- luctant attitude. Shippers &C., cordingly curtailed their assign ments today at all the markets, resulting in a stronger market. Receipts here today amount to 10, 800 cattle, besides I6oo calves, Prime cattle sold up to o.55 today and are called 10 higher in some cases. Pasture cattle were knocked I5 to 25 cents last week, and did no better than hold steady today. Chase county took the premium today on this class, with some I547 pound steers at nine dollars. Some big steers that came up from Texas this spring, from the same locality brought 6. 90. Greenwood and Butler con- tributed sparingly today, the best only going to 8.Io, I24o pounds. Ellsworth and Saline came for ward with fair run, that sold at 6. 40 to 7.6o. Quarantines were in light supply today, II6 car loads, and they are selling a shade stronger than Friday, top 6.6o, bulk AIS to 600. Grass cows bring 3,67 to 5.35, including heif- CTS, calves are a valuable assett, the best at 8.oo to S.25. Country buyers are becoming more restless as the corn crop becomes more certain of being big one, but they have not yet put their bids up even with the packers bids on good feeders. A few half fat steers are going out at 700 to 7.5o, plain feeders Goo to 6.8o, stock steers 4.2S to $50. Four thousand hogs was the size of the run today, and they sold steady, though outside reports said five lower at some other markets. A notable circumstance in the hog market is the shipment of about So car loads of hogs from the up river markets to Ft. Worth in the last ten days, in spite of the scarcity of hogs in the north none went from here, as this market IS running on famine supplies any, way, 4ooo here today, top today is 7.65, bulk 7.25 to 7.6o. Sheep and lamb receipts were small last week, but no repairs were done to the market. Wethers and ewes got slap today, market off 10 to IS cents, lambs about steady, tops 700, wethers are worth AGO, ewes 4 co tor best. Reduced consump- ton is the explanation put for ward by buyers. Run is $500 here today.

BILL FOR A NEW
 STATE CONSTITUTION

Little Rock, August 6.-State Sen ator Lee Miles of Pulaski county is preparing a bill for the calling of a constitutional convention, to be intro duced on the first day of the session of 1913. He introduced a bill in the 1911 session, but it was read twice and referred to committee, where it met the fate of a great many other measures.
 Senator Miles is also preparing a primary election law that contem- plates many changes. Among these are changing the date from March to sometime in the summer, about a month before the general election, and making all primaries uniform and legalized; limiting campaign ex- penses of candidates; prohibiting pre- cinct workers, either candidates or their friends, and the use of buggies and automobiles and the giving out of candidates cards at the polls. He would also consolidate the state and national elections, and would amend the constitution if no new constitu- tion can be secured, to provide for the registration of all voters preceding any election.

DAVID B|RONFS
 SEEKS LIBERTY

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-Attorneys for David Birones, the Mexican rebel ma jor who is serving a 21-year sentence in the Arkansas penitentiary on a charge of assault to kill two young women during the "Jack the Shooter" outrages, are endeavoring to secure a reopening of the case. They are in correspondence with his relatives in Mexico to ascertain if they will pro- vide the necessary funds for carrying on the fight for his liberty. This is being done on the theory that J. B.. Brown, the negro killed as "Jack the Shooter," was the one who entered the room occupied by the young wom- en, notwithstanding the fact they viewed the body and declared posi- lively that he was not the man. They say the man who fired at them in the bright glare of an electric light, and say positively that Birones is the man.

 Alexandria, La, Aug. 4, 1912.
 The sun is shining, but as there is no work required, the boys are in groups in the shade enjoying the breezes. Private Camp has just come in from guard duty and demanded dinner. Lieut.. Jones is officer of the guard, with Privates Camp, Brown and w. Gaines detailed from our com pany. Private Gaines secured order ly the colonel, and yesterday during field maneuvers he was in command of the water wagon and rifle squad.
 Co. A worked from 7:15 to 10 p. m without a single man giving out. We marched five miles, each man cooking his own dinner. At 12:30 our battal- ion moved into position for battle. Our company was selected by special orders delivered by the major to the command orally on the field, to act as first end advance line of the defense.
 At the battle of Camp Stafford the work of our company was especially commended by the regulars.
 Lieut. Cunningham was given a squad to act as an ambush and attack the enemy's advance. He was so suc- cessful that the referee declared that

 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 You may tell the Conway people that they never saw a heater, clearn' CT, prettier camp than Camp Stafford The regulars are our friends ano have assisted us materially. Our com pany was mistaken at maneuvers to- day for a company of regulars by the camp commander, an old regular himself. The U. s. inspector today reported our cooks, Squadlo and Parker, in the lead, because of their clean, sanitary mess-table washed daily in scalding water and no flies allowed.
 Corporal James has taken a squad of six to Alexandria tonight and Cor poral Newborn like squad. They re- turn at 10:30. Lights out and all talking ceases at 10 p. m. We get up at 5:30 and go to work at 7:15.

no one knows who won. (Of course we know-"we did it.") Our com pany was specially commended for its skirmish line formation, advance methods and fire control, from 1 to 4:3O boys had photographs taken, some went swimming, others to bath house, others did their Sunday laun- dry work, others cleaned rifles. It was a busy camp life scene. At 4:3O guard mount, Corporal Fason of Co. A went on duty, then by kindness of the fates our company was informed that we would be ordered direct to rife practice at Beebe from here for a few days, then Lieut.. Cunningham was ordered to report to the con- manding officer for further orders, which he, after careful preparation, did. After critically surveying the officer from Go. A, the colonel in com mand said: "Lieut. Cunningham, you are hereby ordered to take command of Co. H, the captain of said com pany being called home. You will have command until their officers re- turn" It being about time for pa rade and regimental review, two con- panies were commanded by Conway men. Co. A was reported at officers meeting as having the best line at the review. The lieutenant in command of Go. H was also highly compliment led by the major.
 It is now rumored that members of Go. A get about everything they go after, and no one feels sore, because Go. A is working hard and deserves it. The boys in camp tonight are having a pleasant time out under the trees. Corporal Mabry is in charge of bunch to Alexandria, with Ser geant Smith in charge of the other bunch. I wish the fathers, mothers, wives and sweethearts could drop in and see the boys. We are prouder than ever of Go.

bjoh Cost of Antltoxin.

Dr. w. A. Evans of Chicago thinks the price charged for diphtheria anti toxin in this country is too high. He says:
 "Antitoxin was discovered by Von Behring of Germany. It was put to practical use by Roux of France. These men gave their discovery tc the world. A number of manufactur- CTS went into the business in this country. They had to buy no patent. pay no royalties. It does not cost much to make antitoxin. Five thou sand units can be made for 50 cents. the cost of the syringe is 10 cents say a total of so cents. Some manu- lecturers make 1t for less. They sell 1t to the state for $1 for 5000 units. If. however, you are a laboring mar getting s2 a day and your child needs 900 units, you pay the druggist $7.50. If the diphtheria infection is on the tonsils 300 units are all that is usual ly needed, but if it is in the nose 15, ,OOO units are about the dose-$22.50. If your child has been sick for three days with the disease 10000 units are about what is needed-$30."
 Doctor Evans says that for sixteen years physicians have known what to do for diphtheria-how to diagnose 1t. how to prevent 1t and how to cure it. He says that the death rate from diphtheria is dropping down, but thar 1t is villanous there is any death rate from it.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
