RIVER CURRENTS TOO STRONG
Development Of Streams Of Chinese
Province Retarded by a Peculiar
Characteristic.

Fukicn. China, derives its name
from its principal towns. Foochow
Flu and Kienning Flu, and means
"happy establishment" according to
Miss 81 Tsung, writing for the
China bureau of information. 1t is
a mountainous country with the spe-
cial characteristic that its chains
are almost parallel, hindering the
development of the rivers.
The rivers of Fukien run rapidly
from the mountains to the sea, and
are no good for commerce, the Min
river being the exception. The wa
ter is very shallow in some places
and very deep in others. Many
boats are wrecked every year in the
shallow waters. To sail up the river
the boats must be pulled with BAN
boo ropes. Sometimes the current
becomes exceedingly RAPID ana Inc
boatmen cannot ascend and must
wait for weeks.
The province OF Fukien has a.
$4,000 inhabitants, of peculiar Gus
toms and dress Their language
comprises several dialects and is
very difficult to learn. The princi-
pal dialects are Foochow and Annoy,
among which are many variations OF
sounds. Means of communication
are thus very trying because of the
variety of the dialects,
Lacquer is the most famous prod
uct of the province, being exported
to many parts OF the world.

FOUL BROOD AMONG
THE BEES ON TIE ISLAND

Some time last summer we arg
ed all who keep bees to get them
into movable frame hives because
they can be manipulated only in
that way, and that if some dis
ease should break out they could
be saved. We recommended 10
frame Lewis hives with end-stapl-
ed frames. We also urged all to
ItaIianize the bees by getting
young queens and introducing
them into the hives of black bees.
Within two miles of Vashon,
American FoulBrood has been dis
cove ed, There are two kinds of
foul brood, American and Euro
pean. The former is very virul-
ent type, very contagious and
deadly. The gentleman who dis
covered it sent sample to DR..
Phillips, Washington, d. c., who
is chief of the Agriculture Dept.
DR.. Phillips reports that the samp-
lie is American Foul Brood. When
this report was received the gent
leman burned the hive and all
contents But such colonies be-
ing weakened are visited by rob

Der bees and in this way a whole
apiary may soon be infected.
The latest way of treating this
disease is as follows: take a clean
new hive with foundation starters
in the frames. Move the diseased
colony to one side, take out the
combs one by one and shake the
bees in front of the new hive.
Seal up the infected hive tight
and take it where no bees can get
to it. In four or five days shake
the bees off the frames which
had starters in them into new
frames with full sheets of foun-
dation in them and they are cur
ed, at least for the season and
probably until infected anew
from outside sources. The infect
ed hives are then piled up five
or six high and the inside sprink-
led with kerosene, some excelsior
thrown in and set on fire. They
are scorched to a deep brown and
are then clean and free of spores.
The frames may be boiled for ten
minutes in a few gallons of water
to which has been added two box
es of concentrated lye. This will
clean off all wax and propolis
and kill the spores. Thus the
equipment may be saved, and the
only loss will be the honey crop
and the difference between foun-
dation at so cents per pound and
wax at 40 cents and labor.
We have new state law on
this matter. When bees are dis
aased they cannot be moved or
sold. The owner must clean them
up or the inspector will burn them
up. Black bees are not so resist
ant to these diseases as the Itali-
ans. Indeed some Italians seem
immune.
unless you get your DeeS on
movable frames and Italianize
them you may lose them and by
your negligence the bees of the
| whole neighborhood may become
| diseased and die.
Get some good bee book and
keep your bees in modern equip
ment, then if disease should come
among them you will know what
to do.
Kept thus, good, gentle strains
of Italians will give you Il lot OF
fun and will be found the most
profitable stock on the place.

WISE SEARCH FOR SILVER MINES
EXTENSION A
PROPOSITION DESIGNED
SUPPLYING GREAT AND GROWING DEMAND


The great advance that has taken
place in the price of silver, more than
doubling within year, and reaching
price per ounce considered greater
than was ever quoted when the double
standard prevailed and silver coinage
was maintained on a parity with gold,
at a rate of $1.29 per ounce for silver
has given great impetus for produc-
tion of silver, with the mine invest
ing public reaching everywhere to
find good silver bearing properties,
for development and profit:
One of the particularly favored re-
gions in its capacity for production
of silver has been alweys the Pata-
gonia Mountain country in the Santa
Cruz county, the range whose lofty
peaks is an attractive feature of the
landscape looking eastward from No
gales.
Silver Production
Dates back to the period following
the Gadsen Purchase acquisition pre-
ceding the Civil War; and tradition
tells of mining for silver in that re
gion away back in antigua" days,
when the early Spaniards occupied
the Santa Cruz Valley, with the re
gions adjacent; while here and there
in vestiges of old furnaces are found
corroboration of these traditions.
Among the mines yielding silver in
the early days of American occupa-
tion and the time of the Civil War,
are the Empire mine at Duquesne,
the Mowry mine at Mowry, the Flux
mine at the north end of the Pata-
gonia mountains. Indian troubles
put a stop to production, the. Civil
War drawing away the military pro-
lection the country needed then. In

turned a profit Of $500 if held for ma
turity. The investor said he had de-
cided to pass up profit and take his
principal back.
Many OF those in line were from other
New England cities where the Securi-
ties Exchange Company has Elaints led
branch offices. Managers OF some OF
the branches had announced That 4S
hours notice was requested before
money could be withdrawn. explaining
that the delay was necessary in order
that funds might be obtained from the
head offices in Boston.
PonZi in a statement again asserted
that his business was solvent and tnas
he was prepared to meet all demr,ls.
He estimated that up to last night he
had paid out about s3,500000 since the
run began. He asserted that he would
have millions left" after NEE ing all
obligations and that he was "stlil con-
sidering the offer of a New York
banker" whom he did not name, to buy
his business.
Edwin L. Pride. the auditor appointed
by United States Attorney Daniel ].
Gallagher to investigate Ponzi's ac-
counts, said it would require several
more days to complete work on the
books. Mr.. Pride announced that he
had found no indication of criminality
as far as his investigation had gone.
