ingly Valuable Source of Food
Supply.

The Belgian hare is one of the best
rabbits for table use. 1t weighs more
than most breeds, develops very
rapidly, and the quality of the meat
is superior to all the others. The
Flemish giant is Belgian hare bred
exclusively for large size, but with
the result that the meat is coarser
and less delicate in flavor. These
characteristics are regarded by some
persons as desirable, but this is
largely a matter of individual taste.
Most people would prefer the white,
finer-grained flesh of the original Bel
gian hare. 1t should be remarked,
however, that much of the excellence
of the rabbit as food depends upon

Is Serious Loss.

The surrender of General Town
the war in which an entire fighting
unit of important numbers has laid
down it's arms 1t is one of the largest
bodies of troops of the entente allies
which have surrendered and larger
than any other captured French or
British force.
Early in December of last year Cen
eral Townshend's army was beaten in
battle at Ctesiphon, Is miles below
Bagdad, and retreated to Kut-el-
Amara. Besieged by large army of
Turks, the British defended them
at length decided to starve them out
After it became evident that the
army at Kut-el-Amara would be I'M
able to fight its way out, relief ex-
petition was dispatched. AS it drew
near Kut-el-Amara it was opposed by
formidable bodies of Turks and its
advance was stopped. The Turks, Ia
king the offensive, pushed back the
British and inflicted large losses on
them.
Throughout the Mesopotamian cam
paign the fighting has been heavy
and the losses severe. On April IA il
was admitted the Tigris army up to
that time had lost 800 men. In one
engagement alone at Beitsea, on the
right bank of the Tigris a few miles
below Kut-el-Amara, the British lost
1000, according to an announcement
from the Turkish war office last week

PAYS TO BE A HERO.
While Some Are Never Paid, Others
Are Well Paid.

Omaha, Neb-Eber Smith, travelling
salesman of this city, has received no
LITIGATION from San Bernardino, Cal,
that he was named sole heir to the es-
tate of Thomas Simpson, California
rancher, who died a short time ago.
The estate is valued at 100000 Two
years ago, it is said, Smith saved the
life of Simpson when a forest fire was
sweeping upon his California ranch
house, where he lay, alone, suffering
from broken leg. Smith was the only
man among the fire fighters who had
the nerve to attempt the rescue. He
wrapped sacks about his face and went
through the flames and carried the
rancher to safety. Smith did not see
Simpson again, but the rancher re-
membered him and for saving his life
willed him all his property.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat The wheat market has
strengthened up slightly, partly due
to the inclination of holders to profit
by the prospects for falling off in the
forthcoming harvest, which has been
influential in giving the general sit
uation something of a boost. There
is not much doing at the present
time, business being confined to pur-
c h a by the mills. Congested
freight conditions are interfering with
eastern deliveries and there is an out
look for a heavy carry-over, unless
the situation is relieved in the near
future.
Flour-Some mills have advanced
the price of their patent -four zoe
per barrel, although this action has
not been general. The undertcne OF
the market is firm. Foreign business
is rather slack, but a feature of the
situation has been the announced
shipment of two trainloads of flour
from Coast points to eastern markets
which serves to neutralize the effects
of light oriental buying. Some flour
is still being purchased on European
account, although scarcity of tonnage
and high freight rates initiate against
local manufacturers.
Feed-Feed prices have held com
paratively steady. Oats have beer
holding up well around $2S@29, with
considerable demand for seed pur
poses. Barley is a trifle easier al
S31@32, while feed wheat is off tC
$34 per ton. Timothy hay is high al
500. Millfeed is ruling unchanged.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.


Business betterment is becoming
a pronounced and re adily distin-
guished feature of the situation
throughout the p a C ific Northwest.
There is a well defined distinction in
the conditions prevailing in the mar
ket as compared with a year ago.
Optimistic reports are coming to
hand from agricultural sections,
where excellent crop prospects and
confidence in good prices give the
situation a cheerful outlook. At the
moment the most serious deterrent
apparent, aside from the fact that
the sources of production in many
lines are so overtaXed as to render
difficult the placing of orders, is the
congestion in transportation facili-
ties and delayed deliveries, both by
rail and wafer. Freight service is
seriously congested, while the posi-
bility of further Generalization I'M
less there is an adjustment of the
differences between the brotherhood
of engineers and firemen and the
railway companies is a disturbing
contingency.
Sugar-There has been a further
advance of IS points in the sugar
market, and advices from primary
sources continue of a bulliSh charac-
ter, despite the fact that values are
reaching an abnormal position. The
elements of strength emphasized at
this time are the inadequacy of trans
portation facilities, the advance in
freight rates, the decrease Of some
thing like 100000 tons in estimates
of the Cuban crop, owing to drought,
and the fact that Cuban growers,
holding the control of the situation,
are taking advantage of their posi-
ton to exact higher prices for their
holdings.
Provisions.
Butter-A sharp decline in the but
ter market was made this week as
the result of a marked increase in
the supply. The new figure for Wash
ington creamery is 30@33c per pound.
Eggs-Market still holds firm at
last weeks prices of $500 to the pro-
ducers and 81 wholesale, but there
seem to be indications pointing to a
decline, as the supply is on the in
crease.
! Dressed Meats-There has been no
further advances in beef and NUT
ton, while pork is holding firm. De-
mands are steadily improving.
Poultry-Poultry is scarce and hard
| to get, with the result that dealers
are not agreed ON the prices to the
producers for live birds, the figures
varying from one to two cents per
pound.
Lard and Cured Meats-The under
tone of the market for hams and ba
con is a strong one, but no further
advances have been noted during the
week.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-The demand for apples has
fallen off materially during the past
several days, due to the increasing
amount of green stuff coming on tc
the market. Prices remain unchanged
Other Fruits-An advance of csc is
noted on lemons this week, making
the figure for fancy $4.25@4.75 an6
choice S4@4.25. Oranges are hold
ing firm at $3@3.75. In the straw
berry line the California variety con
trolls the market at present, but with
I'm a week or 10 days Kennewick will
be shipping.
Potatoes-Old spuds still hold a
S1.30, with new stock at SC per pount
and seed potatoes a little easier a
S1.50@2.
Other Vegetables - Declines hav'
been noted in green peas from 100

London, May 1.-The French and
Germans on several sectors to the
northwest of Verdun have been en-
gagged in relatively heavy infantry
fighting, with the results evidently in
favor of the French. To the north of
lie Mort Homme the French seized a
German trench.
Berlin says that strong French at

remainder of the French front, except
for small infantry attacks. notably in
the Vosges mountains and in the re-
gion of Lassigny, bombardments have
alone been in progress.
Airships Wrecked
In fights in the air the French claim
that their aviators brought down four
Fokkers and four other German aero
planes, while Berlin says that in a
flight over Verdun a French machine
was shot down.
Except for an Austrian attack on the
Col di Lana, which the Italians re-
pulsed, only commandments have taken
place on the AustroItalian front.
In the region south of Lake Narocz
a further success for the German arms
against the Russians in the capture of
four guns, on emachine gun and SO
prisoners is reported by Berlin.

London.-Major General Charles
Townshend, commander of the British
forces besieged at Kut-el-Amara, Meto-
potamia, by Turkish forces since last
December, surrendered Saturday The
official statement added that General
Townshend destroyed all his guns and
ammunition before surrendering.
The British force which surrender
ed amounts to about 10000 men.
Siege Lasts 143 Days.
The following official announcement
was made:
"After a resistance protracted for 143
days and conducted with gallantry
and fortitude that will be forever
memorable, General Townshend has
been compelled by the final exhaustion
of his supplies to surrender.
Before doing so he destroyed his
guns and munitions.
1.-THE force under him consists of
2970 British troops of all ranks and
services, and some 5000 Indian troops
and their followers"
Relief Was Near.
General Townshend probably was
driven to surrender to avoid starva-
ton of his forces. A recent official
Turkish communication said that the
position of the British at Kut-el-Ama-
ra was critical and that they were
expecting to receive small supplies of
food by aeroplane. An official state
ment received Sunday from London
showed that last effort to send sup
plies to the garrison had failed. 1t
was announced that ship laden with
supplies had been sent up the Tigris
that it had been grounded about four
miles east of the city.
