 The exact amount raised for the pa 4triotic fund has not been announced l. It is increasing daily and is in charge of government officials who have plac- ed it at interest in Chinese banks.

 Daily, weekly and monthly pub1ica- lions abound in letters from Chinese offering suggestions as to the best use which can be made of the fund. Chang .Chien, writing to the China aNtionai Review, Shanghai weekly urges that the money be turned to the develop ment of the cotton and iron indus tries, and preferably the cotton indus strys alone, if not more than $50 0e0, ,000 be raised The writer says the annual of cotton goods aggregate about $125,000,000 in value while the iron importations are about one-fourth that amount ITO equal the demand of the whole population of China we need 100000 spindles and 100000 1ooms,,' says the writer Therefore, even if making provisions for the unfavorable condition of the times we ought to in- crease our present standing by at least 100000 spindles.

CAPT. MAPLEBECK's CAREER AS AVIATOR IS
 ENDED BY ACCIDENT

London, Sept. 17-An accident end ed the career of the youngest air squadron commander in the Royal Flying Corps when Capt. Gilbert W. R. Mapp1beck. D. s. O. was dashed to earth recently while testing a new French nonop1ahe.
 Captain MappIebeck, a Liverpool boy, had not yet attained his 23rd year, and received his commission only about six months before the out break of the war. after finishing a course at Tendon.
 It was on August 1 8 of last year that young Mapplebeck flew over to France to join the newly arrived Brit ish expedit onary force. He was the first British airman to make a recon naissance of the German lines, and later the first to drop bombs. During the retreat at Mons, he secuted above the advancing Germans and by his rel ports kept the British troops from being overwhelmed. On September feet above the German lines. yet man aged to reach the British lines, al- though he was unconscious when found. He was shot through the ab- domen. His mother came over to France and nursed him back to health She has now received a letter of coincidence from the King. The airman's Distinguished Serive Order medal was received in the Kings new years honors.
 On leaving. the hospital. Captain Mapplebeck declined to return to England orto accept less hazardous duty, and was soon back in his ma chine. On March II he took part in the first aeroplane raid to be made in the night against the Germans. Of the three airmen. raiders, one was killed and another brought down within the British lines, while Map plebeck was compelled to land near Lille. Setting fire to his machine, he escaped into the woods, where he hid for three days, stlbsisting on the chocolate he had carried with him. Then he found shelter in a French peasants family, and later worked his way to Holland and then to Eng land as French peasant.

THE COUNTY FAIRS

September is county fair month. These gatherings, theoretically con ture, are a kind of combination of neighbering reunion, midway amuse- ment features, and horse racing.
 Of recent years there has been some tendency to return to the more edu- cational fair. It is a great chance for the agricultural colleges to get a crowd of men together to hear what can be done with scientific farm methods.
 A great deal of money is commonly distributed in the form of premiums to good stock. As the farmers who \ get these awards are literally adver.

THE BENEFIT OF AGRI-
 CULTURAL FAIRS.

Agricultural fairs are largely popu- lar festivals and enterprises. and the public sometimes forgets their Service as public educators
 The first mission of a fair is to advertise the idea that it pays for a farmer no more to keep pure breeds than mongrels, except the in terest on the larger sum of money. All his other expenses remain the same. Meanwhile his income may be doubled by the better. larger and higher priced product.
 This idea penetrateS steadily into the rural districts but it's progress is not as fast as it ought to be. Many farmers hate awfully to buy a good COW for $10o if they can buy scrub for $50. That type of man keeps no books, and does not know whether his returns from the COW exceed the cost of her keep or not.
 At the agricultural fair the farm CT finds that in order to attract the least attention to his product, he simply must have high grade ami nals. The effect on the younger and more progressive men is very conv1nctng. Similarly displays of fruits and vegetables set forth the idea that a man must show a hand some product in order to attract any 1aI0T0SI.a
 While the desire for diversion may be the principal motive i'm drawing the crowd to a fair, yet Americans have a long eye for the main chance. If there is a tent with some scientific agriculture men in with the side shows, it will not escape attention If these men can prove by actual ex- hibits and demonstrations, that the correct use of certain fertilizers or other methods produced largely in- creased results. every farmer on the grounds will hear something about it.
 A fair that contains such features as these has a very far reaching ef- feet. The farmer may have spent most of his time watching horse trots or Investigating midway shows. But if he has seen for a few moments some of the tangible results of scien- tific farming, a little seed has been planted in the back of his head that is sure to grow.

TINY SALMON FRY
 ARE ID BE PROTECTED

Reports from the Pacific coast sta tions received by the Bureau of Fish. cries show that 197,2SS,OOO salmon eggs have been collected to April 30 in this collection season on the Pacific coast, and placed in coast hatcnerres. Experience shows that about 95 per cent of these should produce salmon, This 95 per cent, then, will be Uncle Sans contribution to the salmon sup ply next year.
 It has been the practice in the gov ernment hatcheries in Washington and Alaska to llberate the tiny salmon in the fry stage. But it has been found that this Is far too soon. Re ports from Alaska are that big trout use the fry for free lunches, and that relatively few get to the sea. Now, with such reservoirs as are available, the rearing ponds at the Alaska sta. tions particularly are being enlarged in order to maintain the fish as pam pered pets of the government until they reach the fngerling stage and are fit to get out and fight for their lives.
 Collections of salmon eggs on the coast this year are divided as fol- lows: Bluebacks, 6O,9l5,OO hump. back, 19.1O9.OOO; Chinook. 1O8 .7OO, ,0OO; silver. 3O,SOO.OOO; dog, 8S,2O9.O

PLANS OF ALASKA ENGINEERING
 COMMISSION

w. c. Edes, chairman of the Alas ka Engineering Commission, accom- panied by his wife and her niece, Miss Helen Burnham, were passengers on the Mariposa yesterday for Seward where he will make his headquarters. The steamer arrived at o'clock in the morning, remaining in port but a couple of hours, and MT. Edes was not to be seen.
 Several of the government engi- neers were aboard, however, and fur. ther news of the commissions plans were announced. One of the engi- neers, who asked that his name be withheld said. "As you know, we are pushing the work on the first TO miles in order to get to the coal fields. do not, however, expect that we will get that part of the line completed this summer. But as the coal is the first consideration we will do everything possible to rush the work on that division.
 q think it is commonly believed that that part of the work is a branch line, and not the main line to Fair banks. But only half of it, the last half, is a branch. The first 37 miles is on the main Fairbanks line, and the rest is a spur that will enable the coal to be taken from the mines, put on cars and shipped to a tidewater terminal.
 'In addition to the actual construc- tion of that 70 miles we are also go. ing to build wharves and terminals at Ship Creek, dredge out the channel and put the tidewater terminal in con dition so that next summer, when nav igation opens in Cook Inlet. steamers can load coal. There will also be some work done on repairing and re- building the Alaska Northern, though just how much I am not certain. We have already built a short part of it in order to run construction trains.
 Besides that construction work we will also have several parties at work surveying the Fairbanks route and making the final location of the line. Although the route is settled on, there are great many surveys that must be made in order that we can start work on actual construction of that part of the line next spring.
 We will do both earth and rock work this summer and until snow comes next fall, and will continue rock work most of the winter. In other words, the work on the Alaska rail road will be pushed as fast as is pos. sible."

ALASKA CHAPTERS JOIN THOSE OF
 CALIFORNIA

Volcanic activity in the great Pa cific coast range, heretofore confined to Mount Lassen in California, re ceived double endorsements in the outbreak of two peaks in the Cook Inlet country, Mount Iliamna and an- other not identified by passengers who reported the eruptions on arriving at Seward.
 Dense clouds of brown smoke rolled from the Alaskan craters, whose &C., tivity was heralded by slight earth quakes accompanied by roaring noise, in the Kenai peninsula.
 Lassen peak poured out another large eruption of ink-black smoke, but the volcanic flow was temporarily diverted into old lava fields, giving the hapless farmers in the adjoining valleys time to drive their cattle and animals to higher ground and make other preparations against further de- vastation.
 A dispatch from Seward contains the following account of the eruptions to the westward:
 Iliamna volcano and an unidentified peak on the west coast of Cook inlet have been in eruption since Tuesday People who passed the volcanoes on Thursday said dense clouds of brown smoke were rolling up from the crat CTS. The effect of the volcanoes was noticed here on Wednesday night, when coppercolored clouds were seen to the north. It was believed at the time that the smoke was from the forest fires, but those virtually are out and the atmosphere is still very hazy.
 Four slight earthquake shocks. ac- companied by a roaring noise have been felt here during the last three months but are believed to have had no connection with the volcanoes as no shock was felt when the craters were active,
 Iliamna volcano. on the west coast of Cook inlet, is a peak 12,O66 feet high. It has been known as an ac- tive volcano from the earliest records of the Russian and Spanish explorers, but it's eruptions have never been vio- lent. The district around niamna is virtually uninhabited.
 Volcanic activity in the range ex- tending from Cook inlet along the Alaska peninsula to the Aleutian islands is reported nearly every year, but there has been no violent outburst since June, 1912, when Mount Katmai burst into spectacular eruption.

Urges New Jersey Leader Not
to Spring Any Wilson En-

Washington, Sept. 9.-The letter
written by Secretly Tumulty to Sher'
iff Gene" Kinkead, of Hudson coun'
ty, N. j., putting the damper on a
proposed Endorsement Of Mr.. Wilson
for denomination not because the
President does not want another term
but because such step by his friends
in his own state would be embarrass-
ing at the time follows:
Il received your letter inviting me
to be present at the meeting OF the
Hudson county Democratic commit.
tee, scheduled for September II, the
object of which, as you state, is the
Endorsement of the President. 1t was
my understanding when we discussed
this matter some weeks ago that the
meeting you had in mind was merely
a meeting of the Hudson county COM
mittee, for which you we're anxious to
procure the services of Senator Lewis
of Illinois as the speaker.
81 had a talk with the President
about this matter and he deeply ap'
preciates the generosity of these sug
gestions, but New Jersey is his own
state, the men who would act in this
matter are his own personal friends,
and he feels that it might seem as If
he were taking advantage of the eX'
traordinary situation now existing to
gain some personal advantage
through such an expression of conf
dence by them.
GAS l said in my letter to State
Chairman Grosscup a year ago, this
would be inconsistent with his whole
thought and spirit, and he shrinks
from it as from something that would
embarrass him rather than help him.
"L feel confident that you will un-
derstand the spirit in which he says
this, and that in urging the Demo
Gratis of Hudson county not to do this
he is not abating in the least his deep
appreciation.
