 The wind, in several places along a 300-mile front, reached almost tor nadic force and came as a climax to a 14-day storm.

 More than a score of persons were injured in Sacramento.

ALASKA EXPORT, IMPORT TRADE
 JU MPS IN 1887
Outbound Shipm ent s In. crease $4,32o,3I8, In-
 bound $3,750,000

With continud favorable prices being pand for minerals, Alaska has enjoyed another prosperous year, particularly in the mining industry, according to the annual report Of Collector of Customs J. J. Connors. New dredges installed during 1886 came into full operation during the present year which materially in- creased the output of gold. In- creased activities in the mining Of platinum also stimulated the ship ment of mining machinery and sup plies to the Territory. With such favorable conditions in an industry as vast as mining in Alaska, trade and transportation generally has been favorably affected, with the result that the commerce of Alaska for 1887 was of outstanding propor- tions.
 The total commerce of Alaska for 1897 aggregated in value SPA ,051 ,181, as compared with Sl15, ,963 ,586 for the year 1886, or an increase of $8,- 0S7,595. The total declared value of outbound shipments was ESQ., 967 ,l83, which was an increase ot $4 ,329,3l8 over 1886 The total de- clared value of inbound shipments was S43,083 .998. or an increase of $3,758,277 over 1886. The balance of trade in favor of Alaska for 1887 was $37,883,185
 Copper Increase
 The greatest single increase was in the shipment of copper ore. To- tai shipments of this ore amounted to 47,678765 pounds at a declared value of $6.938, ,438 as compared with 24,671 ,472 pounds and S2,488, ,703 in values for the previous year of 1886. This represented an increase of 23,- GOT 7,293 in pounds anu $4,449,735 in values for 1887
 Shipments of domestic gold from Alaska to the United States likewise showed a major increase during 1887 over the previous year of S1,- l23022 Total shipments for 1857 amounted to $17,776,401.
 While shipments of fish and fish products from Alaska during 1887 showed considerable loss as a whole,

CRUCIAL BATTLE RAGING THROUGH
 LUNCHA| REGION
Japanese Aerial Bombs Rain Death on En-
 emy Positions
ZERO HOUR ARRIVES
 IN THUNDER OF GUNS
Four Hundred Thousand Chinese Troops Fight
 Stubbornly

SHANGHAI, Feb. 10.-Hundreds of Japanese guns today thunder a fearful echo as Nippon's forces en- deavor to choke off China's Lung hai Railway.
 Should the Japanese hordes sever that Chinese lifeline, Nippon will dominate one hundred thousand square miles of Central China.
 Fighting is centered on the northwestern edge of the Lunghai corridor with wave after wave of Japanese shock troops being hurled against stubborn Chinese defenses under constant barrage of high ex- plosive.
 Increased Intensity i It is expected that fighting will increase in intensity along the Pei ping Hankow Railway which cuts across the Lunghai Railway at Chengchow, 300 miles west of the ! Chinese eastern coast
 A fierce artillery duel is in pro- gress 90 miles north of Chengchow, while at the same time, hundred Japanese planes have been shower ing a widespread area with high explosive aerial bombs in Central China.
 Deadly Bombing
 After dropping their deadly bur- dens of bombs, the planes dove on Chinese positions to ground strafe trenches and barricades in an en- deavor to weaken the resistance of the 100000 Chinese troops sworn to defend the Lunghai corridor to their last man.
 Though many bombs were drop ped on troop positions, the Japan csc air bombing attack was directed principally at Chinese airdromes. How much damage was done to the Chinese airplane bases has not yet been determined.
 Artillery Firing
 Heavy firing of large artillery be- gan yesterday and continued spor- adically through the night, with burning villages and bulwarks light ing cold winter night on both sides of the war fence
 Rescue parties crept stealthily about the battle area during the hours of darkness seeking out the wounded and the dying. Neither side claimed victory, but both sides admitted heavy losses.
 For weeks, both Japanese and Chinese troops have been massing in the Lunghai corridor, an area varying from eighty to two hundred miles in width, for battle of major proportions that may be a battle to the death.
 The fate of China lies in the outcome of this engagement" said Chinese spokesman this morning. The zero hour has come"

MESSAGE SENT CONGRESS FOR
 CERTAIN SUM
Two Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars Required
 for Present Needs SHARP REDUCTION IS NECESSARY WPA ROLLS Nearly Two Million Persons Will Be Given Employ
 ment at Once

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today asked Con- gresS in a special message, for the immediate appropriation of $250,- 100000 to meet relief needs for the next four and a half months.
 The President wrote Speaker Bankhead: Funds available at this time will not only take care of the additional burden caused by the re- cent increase in unemployment, but will require sharp reduction in the near future of the number of em- ployees on WPA rolls.'
 WPA officials, anticipating the Presidents request, said that most of the money would be used in in- dustrial centers, especially in auto mobile manufacturing cities.
 The sum requested by President Roosevelt will be added, if appro- priated, to about $497 100000 oi WPA monies still remaining from that agency's original allotment fol this fiscal year.
 Funds available of last January l will permit the employment of only an average of 100000 persons for six months ending June 30. The number of persons on WPA rolls to- day number 1,950,000," said WPA officials.
 The officials further declare that three million persons had lost their jobs in the past three months.

MRS. RUBENS INTERVIEWED
 UNDER GUARD
American Woman, Held Prisoner in Moscow,
 Can Reveal Little

MOSCOW, Feb. 10.--Mrs. Ruth Marie Reubens, of New York, pale as the result of two months imprison- ment, talked about one hour and fifteen minutes today with Lon Hen- derson, United States Charge d. Affairs.
 Apparently she was able to impart little of the account of her arrest for suspicious espionage.
 Soviet Judicial authorities were present and censored the interview.
 Mrs. Reubens was permitted to answer only questions approved by the Examining Judge of the Soviet Military Tribunal, who was wearing the insignia of a Brigade Comman- der.
 Henderson declined to tell what took place during his visit in the grim old Butirek Prison outside of Moscow. He has made report how ever to the SIaUe D6pdFlIiitIll
 Henderson was accompanied to the prison by Angus Ward, US. Con- sul who was there as interpreter of Soviet decisions. Mrs. Reubens could not reveal all details of her arrest.
 The visitors gained the impression Mrs. Reubens will be held in prison for a considerable time yet.
 Today was the first time Mrs. Reubens had been permitted to see any member of the United States Representatives in Russia. The re- quest was made positive by the State Department after futile dick erings.

moving. Suddenly little black head
popped out right before Peters very
eyes. It was the funniest little head

still. Two of the funniest, little feet
in the world followed the head into
sight and then out OF the sand came
the whole of a very small person, a
very small person, indeed. 1t was a
baby. There WAS no doubt about that.
And Peter didn't need TO ask whose

seemed to him that that sand moved
ever so little.
Peter rubbed his eyes and looked
very hard. Yes, sir. that sand moved.

Mr.. Toad has buried himself here. I
think I'll wait bit and see what

baby as that.
For few minutes this baby of

to scramble in the direction Of the
