FURNISH POWER
 BY SUNS RAYS

London, Aug. 5.--The sun pow CT plant designed by Frank Shu- man, the American engineer, to carry on the work of irrigaton in the Nile valley is an unquali- fled success, according to the of flcial report received here today from Cairo. The device has proved to be more efficient and more economical, even with the river at it's lowest level, than pumps run by coal fuel engines, or the old hand method of lift ing the water into the ditches. Lord Kitchener, the British agent in Egypt, who recently inspect ed the plant, believes it will be of enormous help in the agricul- tural development of the Soudan and Upper Egypt.

 Four dollars from each resi- dent of Alaska will provide a large fund for the expense of the territorial government.

NATIVES THEMSELVES
 SLAUGHTER WAlRUS

Dr. Thompson, who has arrlv- ed from Cape Prince of Wales with Mrs. Thompson, says that some of the natives themselves slaughter the walrus wholesale without being able to use them all. Some time ago one native went out in a small oat and kill ed 20 of the animals, which he left after taking off their heads. The bodies and hide, etc., are all so useful and the leaving of the bodies after the killing is waste of a bad kind. .Dr. Thompson has informed Captain Ballinger of the cutter Bear of the matter.--None Industrial Worker.

 No security is to be required of the banks other than the cOm- mercial paper taken by them for the loans for twO-thirds of the value of the paper endorsed by the bank.

SENATOR FEARS
 FOR IRON TRADE
Oliver, of Pennsylvania, Afraid That Chinks Will Put Steel
 Trust on tho Bum.

Washington, D. C., Aug. B. Senator Oliver today moved that the Senate place higher duty on pig iron, as the vast fields of irons in China, worked by the cheap coolie labor and owned by foreigners, would surely invade the American market and place the higher paid workmen of our mines at a great disadvantage.
 China is becoming a danger .ous competitor in the steel trade, asserted the senator, and for the protection of the largest manu- featuring industry in the coun- try it was necessary that a tar if wall be placed about the coun- try.
 Other senators, however, de- nounced the steel trust, claim ing that they sold rails cheaper in China and Europe than they did to the American consumers; that other manufactured articles of the trust were also sold for Jess abroad than here and that the trust did not need protec- ton, but prosecution.

COMMISSION CUTS

 10 to 60 Per Cent.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 5.-- The Interstate Commerce Con-. mission has made an order to- day cutting the charges of the express companies from 10 to 60 per cent to take effect Octo- Der 15. The rate applies only to small packages and in many in- stances the rate is lower than that charged by the government on the parcel post routes.
 The express companies made hard fight against the reduc- tion, claiming that the parcel post had almost wiped out the business and that private enter prise could not compete with the government postal service, but the experts of the commission after a careful examination of the books, the cost of tramspor- tation and delivery. came to the conclusion that the charges were eXorbitanL and should be lower ed.

Seattle, Aug. 5.--According to reports recently received the supposed Japanese poachers have failed to materialize at the Prib- ilOff islands in the Boring sea. For the past ten days the rev. enue cutters Tahoma and Unalga have been patrolling the waters adjacent to the Pribiloffs, but so far have seen nothing of the re- ported raid on the fur seal rOok- cries. It S believed by the gov ernment that word has been passed to the Japanese that an unusually elaborate campaign would be carried out against them this season. which has perhaps caused them to change their plans.

CONTROVERSY OVER
CREMATION AROUSES
CAPITALS CHURCHES

WASHINGTON. March 11.-Dr. ". G.
Woodward health officer Of the District
Of Columbia, has precipitated a sharp
controversy on the question of cremation,
which is stirring church circles. Catholic
and Protestant clergymen have taken UP
the matter and are denouhcing as
Pagan" such disposition of the dead.
The controversy has reached the news
paper stage and arguments for and
against cremation are finding their way
into print
Il believe it is the only sanitary way
Of disposing of the dead said DIR. Wood
ward land surely it is the only poetic
way. I hope TO see cremation extended.
Mgr William p Russell. pastor of st.
Patrick's Catholic church. declared that
cremation was against the teachings Of
Christianity" He declared that it was
contrary to the tenets of Catholicism and
that such disposition of the bodies of the
departed was a reversal to the days Of
pagan Rome.
Several Protestant pastors voiced the
same views.

when unmerited and criticising when
criticism is called for.
The country owes Nj. Hearst
debt Of gratitude for devoting gener-
lightenment of four million people daily

gagged the best writer's and--I know
whereof | speak-has given them a
free hand in treating all financial mat
ters on sound lines. The Wall Street
Journal welcomes the education Of the
great body Of the people thus carried
on by Mr.. Hearst, on the same ethical
standard that our organization set up
