WEALTH OF CENTRAL ASIA
Building Of Railroad Has Revealed to
the World the Variety of Products
Grown There.

Since the construction Of the
Transcaspian railroad, which opened
up markets in European Russia, and
consequently abroad, for the prod
ucts of Russia's central Asian pos
sessions, these regions have proved
themselves source of great wealth,
not only because of their cotton and
silk, but also because of the magnifi-
cent fruit which is being raised
there in increasing quantities
luscious and fragrant apples, which
turn translucent in the sun; apricots,
pomegranates, figs, etc. The gardens
of central Asia are able to grow an
extraordinary variety of products.
Fruit culture is also increasing in
the Caucasus and southern Russia !;
extensive orange plantations have
been set out and their fruit has be-
come extremely popular now that the
war has cut off the usual supply Of
oranges from Italy. Land is being
reclaimed and set out in frnit farms
around Astrakhan. The Crimea, with
its extremely mild climate, has, Of
course, always been a great fruit
growing center, and Bessarabia, near
the Roumanian frontier, is particu-
larly noted for its apples and vine
yards. The Russians are very fond
of fruit, particularly dried or in the
form of fruit pastes or preserves,
often using jam in their tea instead
of sugar.-Geographical Review.

A Linotype.
Milestone Is Reached in Publishing
Business Of Emmons County. A
Better Paper in the Future.

With this weeks issue of the Rec
ord Il milestone is reached in the pub
fishing business of Emmons county.
Our readers will notice that the paper
appears in new dress Of type.
To keep up with the progress of the
county and to handle the ever incrsas-
ing volume of work, it became neccs-
sary to install a line-casting machine
known as linotype. For the benefit
of deeply-interested Lintonite we
call attention to the fact that the
name of the machine is commonly
pronounced as though it were spelled
"line-o-type," and thus the sense of q
couple Of columns of his published
dope lost NIL point--if it could have
been said to have any under any con-
ditions.
The linotype which has been in
stalled in the Record office and which
has been put TO general use this week
for the first time, is the Model X ma
chine. 1t carries two magazines of
type matrices md will handle four
kinds of type, two faces in each of
the two sizes.
Since the machine was put to work
it has kept us busy showing it to the
public and explaining its workings.
1t seems almost incredible that a ma
chine could be perfected that would
be practical in the ordinary office
/ that makes molten metal and trans
! forms it into a complete line of type
in jiffy. BY the aid of the machine
it is possible to set in day many
times as much az by hand compost
tion--and the work of distribution is
entirely eliminated.
Among the many advantages of the
new machine is the using of brand
new type every week for the paper.
1t makes cleaner. neatcr impression
and is much easier to read. The
machine comes high, as might be ex-
pected, and only small percentage
of the country offices of the state
have yet reached the point where
they could make use of such nm ad-
dition to the plant.
1t will not be great while until
the Record will secure larger print
ing press, one that will print four
pages Mt run. Then we will arrange
to publish an cight-page, all home
print
We extend general invitation to
all visitors to the county seat to call
at the Record Office and see the new
machine. 1t is an education to see it
perform. On Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays the machine will
most likely be running.

REPUBLICANS FOLLOW
AFTER PROGRESsIVES

Chicago, June In a session last
ing ten minutes the Republican con-
vention committee decided to adopt
a temporary organization to act
throughout its sessions.
The Republican convention session
proper today lasted about two hours
and was marked by lack of enthus-
iasm and demonstration.
The temporary chairman read a
prepared address, which scored the
inelficiency of the Democratic ad-
ministration. He was frequently in
terrupted by applause. Scarcely any
of the big Republican leaders were
recognized by delegates as they took
their seats. Most every one in the
soliseum seemed to be more inter
ested in what was going on in the
auditorium where the Progressives
were holding a convention.
The Republican convention recon
venes at IL tomorrow.

BAD DOGS MUST Be
KEPT FROM STREET
CASES MADE AGAINST TWO
WHITE WOMEN, WHO ARE AL
LEGGED TO HAVE VICIOUS
CANNES IN POSSESSION.

The police are making special eff
forts to enforce the law keeping vi
cious dogs from the street. Two cases
have been made against two white
women, charged with keeping vicious
animals, in the southwestern part of
the city, and these cases will be
called up for disposition in the re-
corder's court this morning.
Maudie Jones, white, residing near
the corner of Coyle and Fort streets,
was arrested and charged with har-
boring a vicious animal and allowing
such animal to go on the streets un-
nuzzled. It is alleged that this par
ticular animal had attacked a sailor
from the cruiser North Carolina, Bit
ing the jackie on the leg and inflicting
quite a wound.
The other woman arrested was
Maggie Walker, who is said to have a
vicious dog in her possession, of which
there had been some complaint made.
The law requires tina. vicious dogs
must be either tied up or muzzled, in
case they are allowed to roam the
streets.
