Midway Island, Our Smallest Terri
torial Possession
The greatest attraction of Midway
Island is Its windmills, whose enor
mous height mado the mile-length
coral Island look from shipboard
smaller than It really Is.
Although Midway Island belongs to
the United Slates and Is a cable sta
tion, there are about a dozen Ameri
cans only on It. Several of these In
habitants have become, through Iso
lation, more afraid of strangers than
the millions of tame gulls that make
the Island their home.
The history of almost every white
man on Midway Island may be written
In one unkempt sentence; "I ran away
from a whaler." Midway Is an Island
that was born upon the bosom of an
Immense wave that followed an earth
quake shock. Just how old It Is no
living man in the Pacific seems to
know. There Is no vegetation on the
Island because there Is no soil. Mid
way is a hunk of coral reef, around
which a ring of ocean breakers con
tinually lash themselves Into a mist
of creamy foam.
New Mineral Discoveries.
In Grant county scarcely a week
passes hut what a discovery Is made
of rich mineral deposits. In the
Greenhorn. Qunrtzburg, Izee and Su
sanvllle districts vast ledges, rlcn In
copper and gold, are attracting the
attention of expert mining men, and
many thousands of dollars will be
expended In the next few years In
development work on these rich prop
erties. Many mines now isolated will
be furnished with transportation fa
cilities In a few years and will then
provide labor for many men ond a
good market for the products of our
rich valleys. Canyon City Eagle.

RECLAIMING AIJJALI LAND.
Valuable Experiments Now Being
Carried on In Nevada.
An Interesting and Important Inves
tigation Is, being oarr.c l on by the
reclamation service, to determine the
best method of reclaiming the alkali
lands under the Truckee-Carson pro
ject, Nevada.
The plan entails the Installing of
10 acres of alkali land typical In
texture to the general farm lands now
being entered by farmers with un
der drains, for the purpose of leaching
out the alkali, and the preparation of
another 10 acres of laud for flooding
copiously with water, without under
drains being previously laid.
It Is Intended that the work on the
first 10 acres will demonstrate the
advisability of reclaiming alkali lands
with under drains and determine the
approximate cost for such work per
acre. The work on the second 10
acres should determine the possibil
ity of reclaiming these lands from
alkali wothout under drains being
previously laid. The lands selected
are not only typical farm lands met
with in this, but In other projects, and
are threatened with alkali accumula
tion. The data collected will be of value
to the farming Interests In that the
results will demonstrate the best pro
cess for handling farm lands which
are too salty for profitable cultiva
tion, and which are met with in sev
eral parts of the arid region. In con
nection with the drninage systems In
stalled by the engineers cm the pro
ject, it will offer valuable Informa
tion relative to the efficiency of such
drainage systems.
Beside the two tracts above men
tinned, land has been selected for the
installation of under drains on a third
10-acre tract. This selection repre
sents typical alkali conditions for the
heavy adobe lands lying in large
bodies In the flats of the Truckee
Carson project. Should It be found
possible to reclaim these lands at a
reasonable cost, it Is believed that
the land available for farm entry
under this project would be Increas
ed by many thousand acres.
This Investigation Is of great im
portance from a financial standpoint,
In that a comparatively small cost per
acre for relief from alkali may make
possible the reclamation of large
bodies of land under the system,
which are now unfit for cultivation.
Drainage conditions are also being
studied In connection with the Klam
ath, Minidoka and Huntley projects,
and work on soil classification is be
ing generally carried on throughout
the field of operations of the service.
PERILOUS SAItl.F. ISLAM).
Two Hundred Vessels Hare Been
Wrecked on Its Bar.
Sable Island, sometimes, and not
too extravagantly, termed the Grave
yard of the Atlantic, Is set among
shoal waters that afford the best of
feeding ground for the particular
kinds of fish that Gloucestermen most
desire halibut, cod, haddock, and
what not nnd so to Its shoal waters
do the fishermen come to trawl or
hand-line.
Lying about east nnd west, a flat
quarter moon In shape, is Sable
Island. Two long bars, extending
northwesterly and northeasterly,
make of It a full deep crescent. No
where Is the fishing so good (or so
dangerous) as close In on these bars,
and the closer 111 and the shoaler the
water, the better the fishing. There
ure a few men alive In Gloucester
who have been. In close enough to see
the surf break on the bare bar; but
that was in soft weather and the bar
to wind'ard. and they Invariably got
out in a hurry.
Two hundred nnd odd wrecks of one
kind or another, steam and sail, have
settled In the sands of Sable Island.
Of this there Is clear and indisputable
record. Of how many good vessels
that have been driven ashore on the
long bars on dark and stormy nights
or in the whirls of snowstorms, and
swallowed up In the fine sand before
ever mortal eye could make note of
their .disappearing hulls, there Is no
telling.
A Gloucester fisherman needs no
tabulated statement to remind him
that the bones of hundreds of his
kind are bleaching on the sands of
Sable Island, and yet of all the men
who sail the sea they are the only
class that do not give It wide berth
In winter. And of all the skippers
who resorted to the northeast bar In
winter Pntsle Oddle was pre-eminent.
Some there are who said he was
reckless, but those that knew him best
answered that 'twould be recklessness
Indeed If he didn't know the place; If
he didn't know every knoll and gully
of It that man could know, Including
knoll and gullies that weren't down
on charts and never would he, be
cause the men that made the charts
would never go In w here Patsle Oddle
had gone nnd sounded when the
weather allowed. From "Patsle Od
dle's Black Night." by James B. Con
nolly, In the August Serlbner's (Fic

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE.
Tito Nature of Animals Changed by
Conditions.
The influence of the climate upon
animals Is remarkable. The Thibet
mastiff, when it Is brought down from
the Himalayas, loses its fine wool.
The shepherd dogs of Angona have
fair fleecy hair, the thickness being
attributed to the severe winters, and
the silky lustre to the hot summers.
The English bulldog has been
known when first brought Into India
to pin down nn elephant by Its trunk,
and yet In two or three generations
It not only will fn 0ff In pluck and
ferocity, but 11 loses the under-hung
character of the lower Juw, tin? muz
zle becoming finer and the body
lighter and this without any crossing
with native dogs.
Extreme Cold Is equally prejudicial
to some breeds neither the New
foundland dog nor the bloodhound
being able to endure the Intense cold
of northern Europe. It Is supposed
that "aboriginally" the horse must

scraping snowa way to get at the

Hounds, It Is said, deteriorate more
rapidly than other breeds of dogs
under tho influence of very warm cli
mate, pointers and greyhounds quick

HARDWARE PLUMBING
SHINGLE Ml LI WILL CLONK.
Supply ho (ileal That Mill Will Re
Idle for Three Months.
Ballard, Wash., Aug. 2. All the
shingle mills in King county and prob
ably throughout the state will be clos
ed during tho months of December,
1 90.1, and January anil February,
1906.
Such is the purport of an ugreement
that was signed by all the shingle
manufacturers in this county and all
the lending manufacturers In What
com county, as well as a large num
ber of shingle manufacturers all over
the state, at a meeting that was held
In Ballard this morning for the pur
pose of taking united action toward
bringing the supply of shingles within
the demand and thereby increasing
the price to a profitable standpoint.
The supply of shingles In this, the
greatest shingle producing state In
the country-, has become so much In
excess of the demand and the price
has in consequence reached such a
low point that the manufacturers
have found it necessary to unite in
their action of closing the mills for
three months next winter, In order to
allow the demand for Washington
shingles to become sufficiently large
to put the manufacture of them once
more on a paying basis.
For this reason the meeting was
held at Ballard this morning and the
various owners agreed to the three
months' closing.
ACCOUNTS ARE SHORT.
i:MTts Find Hear Lake County, in
Idaho, In Bad Slinjie.
Boise City, Aug. 2. A special to
the Capital News from Montpellcr, the
county sent of Bear Lake county, says: 1
The experts who have been going
over the books of the county for the I
past three months have completed j
their work and made a report to the!
county. I
The most of the officials of the post '
four years were found to be shy all
the way from a few dollars to several
hundreds. However, tha experts said
there was no evidence of criminal i
wrong anywhere, the shortage coming
from errors and a loose maner of
keeping the books of the various of-;
flees, and the further fact that some '
of the officials did not understand the (
law as to what they should collect for
the county.
This was especially, true in the case
of assessors, one or two of whom had
failed to collect the proper penalties!
attached to delinquent taxes. In Borne j
Instances this has amounted to a large
sum nnd while the county was entitled j
to these sums, yet they did not get
them, neither did the assessor, though!
he stands charged with the several
amounts due on the delinquent list
Most of those w;ho have been found :
Irdebted stand ready to make the!
nriounts good when the commission-.
ers call for them.

ing the appointment of official and
lay delegates to the convention of
Pacific northwest cities to be held In

IOWA NEEDS WOMEN.
Forty-six Thousand More Men Thai!
Women In the State.
Iowa promises to become the Mecca
of women since Director Davidson, of
the state census bureau has announc
ed that there are 46,000 more men
than women. This Is contrary to the
prevailing rule In most states and hi
the world at large.
New England, according to the na
tional census figures, has 4 8 men to
every r0 women. It Is anticipated'
that there will be a general exodus
to the state when the census figures
are given publicity. If capable of
teaching school, women will find em-
safe kind, that cooks the food and
the cook.
!
ployment In this vocation while await
ing proposals of marriage, as there
Is an unparalleled dearth of school
ma'ams in Iowa, and 162 schools are
compelled to close because of the In
ability to obtain Instructors. It Is be
lieved that the figures compiled by
the census director accounts for the
shortage of school teachers.
MILTON" FIRE COMPANY.
For IS Years tlie Town ll Had No
Organization,
Although Milton once organized a
fire company, yet she has been with
out a legal organization for 15 years
because it did not comply with Its
by-laws from the mart.
This discovery was recently made
by Major Miller and when he discov
ered that the town was without a le
gal company he ordered that the poll
lax be collected from the members of
the old organization and this raised
a remonstrance.
So In order to have proper fire pro
iectlon, a mass meeting was called
Monday night and a committee of
citizens, consisting of W. E. Putnam,
W. H. Anderson and A. McKay, was
appointed to form a new company
and start it out legally so there would
be no further questions.
The committee will report within
a few days and the new fire company
will be launched.
IDAHO NEGRO COLONY.
Florida Colored Promoter Looks for
a Home for His People.
W. H. Moore, of Hawthorne, Fla.,
enjoys great promise of success In his
effort to establish a colony of colored
people In southern Idaho, says the
New Era.
The head of each negro family In
the colony will be given an acre of
land to begin with for a home. The
general plan of the establishment of
the colony Is most liberal and many
colored people have concluded that
It Is a most feasible scheme for their
profit and that of Its promoter.
The conditions under which they
may earn a competence and at the
same time build for themselves homes
for the remainder of their lives and
for posterity are most happily differ
ent from those under which they are
compelled to exist In many of the
southern states.
Beg Food, But Will Not Work.
Work at a remnuerative wage was
never so plentiful in any country as in
the city and county of Walla Walla
at the present time, yet nearly every
day strong, healthy men can be over
heard asking for the price of a meal
from passersby, says the Walla Walla
Union. Last week the Warren Con
struction company wanted to use 50
more men In their work of paving
the streets, but from the gang that
usually hangs around the blocks on
Main street between First and Fourth
not a man could be secured. All had
some excuse for not wishing to go to
work. Some said they were going out
to the harvest fields and others to
various places where they expected
labor. But every day during the week
the same faces can be seen along the
street in their accustomed places, still
idle but Just as ready to leave the city
to accept a good Job.
