MILITARY PROGRESS IN FIFTY YEARS One day this week wireless mes sages were exchanged between Fort Sam Houston in Texas and a station in Rhode Island, with the national capital on the circuit. The Texas operators have been in touch also with Havana, and they count on an effective range of 2000 miles in any direction. This limit is only tem porary. It has been exceeded in wire less messages to Alaska and across the Pacific. Napoleon held that the most important element of military movement is time. As far as possi ble he perfected a courier system in his own forces and with Paris. A material portion of his immediate army" was beyond his reach .at Water loo. He may have dreamed of a wireless system as did Galileo. But it was only an imagining that could not be realized in his day. The battle of Shiloh was fought al most entirely with muskets loaded at the muzzle. Repeating rifles were not yet introduced in the army. Late in the war the cavalry received a few. The Confederate commander in chief at Shiloh was killed by a buckshot from a musket firing a mix ture of bull and buck. Its range was a few hundred yards. There was no field telegraph no telephones, and the Confederate Army marched to the attack unperceived. The fighting was fierce, heroic, as the combined casual ties of 20,000 show. But what a differ ent story compared with the field and headquarters resources of today. What the government has done with the remains of the Maine is worthy of the national dignity, and shows the hVhest appreciation of the brave Americans Slowly Reverting to Indian Type Py Professor LIONEL W. LYDE Authority on OLORED RACES WILL RULE THE EARTH AND THE WHITE RACE WILL BE ENTIRELY EXTINCT IN A FEW MORE CENTURIES. The various white nationalities of the world are GRAD UALLY GROWING DARKER. In this' country particularly i-i there a noticeable decrease in the number of natural blonds. Fair haired and FAIR SKINNED PERSONS ARE BECOMING FEWER and fewer, and dark hair, brown or red complexions and general brunette color are becoming common. In tropical countries the white man has never been able to live in health. With ordinary precautions a man may live after two years of acclimatization immuneffrom most of the tropical diseases, but after five or six years more the deteriorating effects of the strong solar light and heat begin to show themselves on the white skin and render the possessor particularly susceptible to tropical ailments. Therefore the PERMANENT SETTLEMENT OF THE TROP ICS IS IMPOSSIBLE BY WHITE MEN. AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE REVERTING MORE AND MORE T' THE INDIAN TYPE, RED OR DARK BROWN SKINS, AND THE MELT ING POT OF NATIONALITIES IS BREEDING A RACE NOT DISS1M! LA R TO THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF THE AMERICAN CONT! NENT. ANOTHER TWO OR THREE CENTURIES WILL FIND EX ACTLY THE SAME FACIAL TRAITS AND MANY OF THE MENTAL TRAITS THE SAME. .m.

Poultry Notes This is the time of the year when country women are thinking of gard ens and chickens and it is hard to tell which holds their attention more; with myself it is the chickens, as'this year we have netted considerable more than $300 from our small flock, having 173 hens at the beginning of the year, but many of these were sold oil during the summer and fall. We sold many dozens of high priced eggs through the winter. I wonder how many people understand the best way to feed milk to hens. As we have quite a quantity of milk we buy cheese tablets at the drug store and curd the sweet milk, pour ing off the whey. The hens are very fond of this curd. Sometimes I mix it .with shorts. Kale also is valua ble as green feed for the chickens. Too much care cannot be taken at this' season of the year to keep the hens and chicks free from lice and mites, and right here I want to sound a warning against the use of antisep tic - (so-called) nest eggs, reputed to keep chickens free from mites and lice. Hearing that an acquaintance had used them and recommended them highly we bought a lot of them. The directions say to use them in the nests of the laying hens, under your hatching hens (and the man who sold them to us said the same) also to put them under the hens two nights a week, when brooding the lit tle chicks. When we got the eggs I had some hens about to hatch so put one of the eggs under each hen as well aa the other setting hens. The results were simply disastrous. A lot of the chicks were killed while still under the hens and some of those that sur vived have, since died five today, I expect to find more dead in the morning. As for the eggs killing lice I know they did not kill some on a couple of brood hens that sat on those eggs in the laying hens nests. Then too the nest, eggs imparted an Oder to the fresh eggs. . My neighbor who got some of the "Antiseptic Nest Eggs" the same day as I did, tells me they drove her set ting hens off -the nest, and even killed a fine blooded settings hen for her. She too has been losing her little chicks that were hovered with an egg in their coop. We have no furth er use for "lice killing nest eggs." A POULTRY WOMAN.

Anthropology Scoop Resigns "at Sight" SUSPECT IN THIS CUV AFTER (Continued from page 1) Roberts in an automobile. It was complete. Even Roberts himself helped to draw the net tighter around himself, as if feeling it was of no use to deny Ruenetz knew him. As the old gardener approached the automobile to look closer at the suspect, Roberts, had been watching him, cried outr "Hullo." This identification is considered oi great importance by Sheriff Stevens, for it establishes beyond a doubt that Roberts has been staying near were the murder was committed for sever al days beforehand. It is regarded as more than a conincidence that his sudden departure took place the same night that Stewart and Hastings were killed. Ruenetz told Sheriff Stevens ah interesting story of his experieice with Roberts. It was on Sunday night just two weeks ago, that Roberts ap peared at Ruenetz's home on Palas tine Hill and asked to be put up for the night. Ruenetz said thiS he wore the same peculiar pea jacket and the same slouch hat, and carried the same double barreled shotgun that he had on the day. he wa3 arrested. He had a black moustache then, however, the gardener said. The appearance of a heavily armed man at that time of the night it was nearly 9 o'clock and Roberts general appearance aroused Ruenetz's suspi cions, but he said nothing. He told Roberts he might sleep in a . little log cabin, used as a play house by the children, near the house, and 'Roberts' immediately went over there and turned in. He slept there until 9 o'clock the next morning when he appeared at the house and asked for breakfast. Took tho Gift Without Thanks. The name of W. H. Alexander is practically an unknown one in Eng land, yet be it was who gave to the country the enormous sum of S0.(X)(l for the purpose of building the Nn tional Portrait gallery. The only rec:ir tion he asked for this munificent gift was that lie might have an autograph letter from Queen Victoria giving ex pression to the nation's gratitude. It is more than remarkable. that up to the time of his death this modest request had not been granted, and no recogni tion was made of his handsome gift. It is surmised that this simple wish was never laid before the queen. Pear son's. A. W. Norblad CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN Nomination for District Attorney, Fifth Judical District. . Attorney for city of Astoria, also attorney by? appointment for cities of Seaside and Warrenton and Port of Astoria. "If elected I will do my duty under the law and Justice befitting each in dividual case." "I could tell you this same thing in 500 words but what's A. W. NORBLAD the use? It takes space, means noth ing more, and cost money. I am ask ing and seeking only for the INDORSE MENT OF THE VOTERS at the polls on April 19th. My work as an at torney has been passed upon by FOUR municipal bodies of my home county by their electing me their attorney. The city government of my home city (Astoria) by resolution adopted a few months ago said that I had done for $125.00 per month three times the amount of work that for two years prior to my term cost about twice as much. This is a matter of public record. Mr. Tongue has been in office FOUR years. Do you, , Mr. Voter, want him another FOUR years? You, and not a small portion of the attorn eys of this district are qualified to state who shall receive the Republi can nomination. I am content to leave the matter in your hands."

Mati nees Wednesday and Saturday. " "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," the newest of the New England dramas and the most charming, in that it presents pictures of New England vnnth.? as wall her prnwn fnllr will ho q'pti at the TToilio- Thpatro fnr one week beginning Sunday night, Ap ril 7th, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. The play is the work of Kate Doug las Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson, and is a dramatization of Mrs. Wig gin's fine study of New England life and character, "Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm." Rebecca herself, the heroine of the play, is the most enchanting creat ure that has come out of New Eng land. She charms by her naivete, her humor, her cheerfulness and her mer ry heart.. Her conquest of the rigid discipline of her old maid aunts, her winning of the love of a brave, good man, form the thread of the story, Harrison j. Terry, Character . Man With Baker Stock Co. BAKER STOCK COMPANY Pcpular Organization to Present Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch It will be good news to many a little boy and girl in this city as well their elders to know that the Baksr Stock Company is to play the great American comedy of poverty life, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, this week. The play has been here before piiliBpallliliilfiia n -! which is filtered through with very delightful scenes of comedy and touch es of pathos that reach the heart. " Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger, the mas ter hands of theatrical stage-craft, have given- "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,"' a stage environment, which for magnitude is only rivalled by the same firm's production of "Ben Hur" and it is probably the largest theat rical production -on. tour of the West this season. An excellent company has been organized for the presenta tion of the piece and includes in ad dition to Miss Ursula St. (leorse. whom the managers "have brought from London to appear in the role of Rebecca, such well known actors and actresses are Maud Ream Stover, Loyola O'Conner, Fannie D. MacCul-' lin, Ruth Findlay, Lillian Ross, Sam Reed, Sidney Blair, Henry Carlin and Alfred Hudson, Jr., along with many others. .. i with road companies, but always at ! high prices of admission that every- one cannot afford, but with the popular ' Baker prices, and the production the j play is sure to receive at the hands of the clever acting company, there ' i nn aqot, ... f nil cVirmlfl Tint con JO UU 1 IT 11 w .

Only one other matinee wil be given and that will be Saturday but the rates of admission for the Baker in the evenings is so extremely low now those who fail to get matinee seats in time will find it' no hardship to I change to one of the night performan ces Monday, by the way, is always Bargain night, when . the seats are all the same prices as matmess. - Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch depicts life among the lowly people who are al ways just on the edge of misery and starvation, but it is so filled with good cheer, unselfishness and optimism that it has been accepted as a great Amer ican classic in it's particular field of literature. It is is a scream of fun from beginning to end with just enough heart interest and tenderness to make pretty contrasts. All the famous char actors so well known in the book will be seen, such as Mrs. Wiggs, Mis' Hazy, Mrs. Stubbins, Lovey Mary, Mrs. Eichorn, all the little Wiggses with the "jography names" Asia, Austral ie and Europena, and those who at tend the Baker this week will enjoy one of the treats of thir life.

Brewers are inquring for supplies while the volume of business is small, there is little stock remaining to fill this offering. For that reason grower holders are making no concession in price. April is usually a good buying month .for hops as that is the time that brewers look over their stocks in preparation for the summer's bus iness. Contracts are nominalat 25 to 26c a pound for 1912 with business offered at both prices. There is a slight increase in this branch of the trade. American brewers continue to s"h"ow the only interest iH either - spot or contract goods. There is a somewhat firmer feel ing abraod and some slight advance ing abroad and some slight advance recently.

LEVEE 18 WEAKENING; BIG BASIN MEMPHIS, April 0. All hope of saving the St. Francis levee and the St. Francis basin was abandoned to day by government officials and en gineers. A dozen weak spots were re ported simultaneously shorty before noon in the St. Francis levee, and it appears certain that the dykes will Soon go out. This means that thous ands of acres of tillable soil in Ten nessee and Mississippi will be inun dated. It is feared that a break in the St. Francis levee will destroy the $5,000,000 railroad bridge here. The crest of the flood is not expected be fore Sunday and with the bursting of the levee it is not probable the structure will be able to withstand the teriffic pressure wihch will be placed upon it. Practically the entire eastern part of Arkansas is covered with the back water from the flood. Thousands of refugees are arriving from the lower districts. They are being temporarily quartered in the public buildings and private homes. The situation in the surrounding country is growing worse hourly. It is .conservatively estimat ed that 20,000 people are homeless. Five hundred refugees, who arrived here today from Tiptonville, Tena., re ported that every house in Lake coun ty, Tenn., was completely submerged. The sudden break of the levee yes terday is said to have left many per sons stranded oa housetops and trees. Mayor Crump of Memphis, today, "shanghaied" 200 negroes andTsSnt them to Bridge Junction to stop a break in the levee there. ON VERGE OE WAR (Continued from page 1) leading part in the effort to bring the Turkish-Italian war to an end is said to have been sugested by the fact that in this frontier dispute she can use an argument that will give a weak power, such as Turkey, cause to think before engaging against two l.roig powers at the same time."
