MINISTER OP MIIJTIA 19
AFRAID OP AMERICANS.
RoyallMts and Aristocrats In Canadian
Ottre Aro Alarmed at the American
lava.sion. While tho Rural Comma
nithv Heartily Welcome Uio Amer
toan Farmer Iiowt of Fellow
Fwllng Prevails Between Canadians
and Americana.
The nucleus of a Canadian nary will
shortly be established at Esquimau,
the government having arranged for
the maintenance of a training vessel
there at once.
Raymond Prefontalne, minister of
aiarlhe and fisheries, has left for Eng
land to arrange for the ship which
will be under the Jurisdiction of the
Canadian authorities. This announce
ment was made at Vancouver, B. C.
by Sir Frederick Borden, minister of
militia. He said:
"We must be prepared for eventu
alities. The greatest assurance against
war must be In preparing for war. In
the slight preparations made In Can
ada the main Idea was the mainte
nance of law and order. We were not
afraid of foreign Invasion, but with
the large Influx of all kinds of people
we roust be prepared to maintain or
der. We are not spoiling tor a fight,
bat we must maintain our laws and
civil government, and then you know
Vncle Sam Is growing ambitious."
It Is said that the ultra-royalists in
all the large cities of Canada view
with alarm the great Immigration
flowing Into the Canadian wheat belt
from the United States.
They fear that this rush of Ameri
cans means the extension and Inten
sifying of the annexation sentiment
In the rural districts of Canada.
In the rural districts and among the
larmeres and In the small towns the
American Invasion Is welcomed, as the
Americans who are settling on Cana
dian wheat land are progressive, In
dustrious expert farmers and excellent
citizens and such an influence In the
Canadian communities in which they
settle, is heartily welcomed.
Royalists and aristocrats from the
large cities don't want American set
tlers, but the government of Canada
encourages Americans to go there,
and most of those leaving the United
States are well pleased with their
new home.
As to possible clashes between
Americans and Canadians, In which
a Canadian navy would be needed as
hinted by the minister of militia. In
his Interview here quoted, there Is
not the most distant probability. Fra
ternity and fellow-feeling between
Canadians and Americans are every
where predominant. Americans ob
serve and enforce Canadian laws and
no trouble of any kind resulting from
the "American Invasion" has been re
ported, although 200,000 Americans
have gone into Canada In the past
two years.
The American settlements in Al
berta have carried American customs
with them and are distinctively Amer
ican. American Sunday school plans
are observed, they visit as they did in
the United States, establish churches
and keep up lodge affiliations and
one would not know It was Canada
except for the occasional appearanco
of squads of mounted police In pur
suit of some criminal, (always a Ca
nadian or Canadian Indian.)
LESSONS OF JAPANESE WAR.
Has Revised Bayonet and Sabre Man
uals in American Army.
Washington. Sept. 29. The an
nouncement has Just been made that
the new manual for the sabre and
bayonet drills for the army, on which
the officers of the general staff have
been working for some weeks, will
soon be given out. Hitherto these
manuals have called for much skill
on the part of the enlisted men, so
much. Indeed, that few of them were
ever able to acquire the art of wield
ing either weapon In a satisfactory
manner.
It Is proposed to omit from the new
manuals everything of a fancy fenc
ing character, such as Is taught In the
private drill rooms. It Is Intended
that there shall be a return to the
simplest methods, and that everything
shall be on the most practical and
useful basis. Both weapons are In
tended for use In time of war, espec
ially the bayonet.
The officers who have been on duty
In Manchuria with the Russian and
Japanese armies have furnished spec
ial reports on the subject to the gen
eral staff and such experts as Captain
Herman J. Koehler, the master of the
sword at the Military Academy, and
Civil Engineer Cunningham, of the
navy, who Is an expert swordsman,
and who had charge of the Naval
Academy fencing last year, have also
given valuable advice alone the line
indicated. The war department re
cently adopted a new type of sabre,
which will be kept with sharpened
edge and carried in a wooden scab
bard. A new bayonet was adopted
several weeks ago, based on the re
sults of the observations of our mili
tary attaches with the troops in Manchuria.
FARMERS TO FORM UNIONS.
Movement to Affiliate With the Feder
ation of Labor.
Chicago, Sept. 29. A determined
effort will be made on the purt of the
American Federation of Labor, to
bring about the unionization of the
farmers of this country and their af
filiation with the American Federation
of Labor for mutual benefit and pro
tection. In Wisconsin and Minnesota
a number of farmers' unions have
been formed already and according to
the statement of the officials of the
federation, the affiliation of these
farmers' unions with the American
Federation of Labor is merely a ques
tion of time. -
The leaders of the Federation are
highly enthusiastic ovor the prospect
of an alliance between the city wage
workers, the farm hands and the farm
ers, it is expected that the western
farmers will be well represented at
the next meeting of the American
Federation of Labor which will be
held in Pittsburg In November. It Is
not expected that the plan of affilia
tion will meet with any opposition
from the federation.
NEW POTATOES ALL YEAR.
Montana Man Has Discovered ft New
Process of Growing Spuds.
At the county fair at Great Falls,
Mont., there Is on exhibition what
the Inventor calls vlneless potatoes.
Some three months ago D. D. Darst,
the discoverer of the new process, an
nounced that he could grow potatoes
In from two to three months In a spec
ial preparation discovered by himself,
in layers on top of each other and
without vines.
Durst's experiments have been con
ducted In a box eight feet square. In
the bottom of this box a layer of
Darst's preparation Is placed to the
depth of three Inches and a number
of potatoes planted therein. Another
layer of three Inches Is scattered over
these potatoes and more potatoes
planted in the usual manner, and so
on until the frame Is full.
Darst claims that the box may be
built to almost any height with layer
after layer of potatoes, without af
fecting the producing quality of his
composition and that he can have new
potatoes for market In any climate at
any time of the year.
IMMENSE PRUNE CROP.
Boise Valley Is Experiencing a I-ros-peroiis
Year.
Boise. Sept. 29. The season for
prune shipments will be over in an
other 10 days. It was that lute in
opening, and will continue about the
usual length of time for gathering
the crop.
From a comparison of this season's
shipments with those of last year,
commission men state that the ship
ments are not only going to exceed
those of previous years, but prices
paid to producers are largely In ad
vance of those paid last season.
At the Sinscl commission house It
was stated that the shipments up to
this date last year were 44 mm with
seven cars sent out afterwards. Up to
ihki nignt. 3 cars had gone to market,
with at least 20 more under contract.
Adding the shipments being made
from Boise by all the dealers and
raisers, to those going to the eastern
marKets rrom Meridian, Nampa, Em
mett. Caldwell, Parma. Welser, Pay
ette, and other points In the valleys,
the number will total more than 250
cars of prunes, a large Increase In the
average tonnai? produced, and at an
advance of 50 per cent over last sea
son's prices.
BEET HARVEST ON
GRAND RONDE WILL YIELD
BUT HALF A CROP.
Frost and Extremely Dry Weatlier Re
duced the Yield Over 2800 Acres
Were Planted in tlio County Fac
tory Will Probably Run But Little
Over Half tho Usual Length of Time
Union Is Rapidly Becoming the
Sugar Beet Center.
Tho sugar beet harvest In Grand
Ronde valley Is Just now beginning,
and from all appearances but half a
crop will be harvested.
Late frosts and dry weather have
retarded and Injured the crop until
on the Sand Ridge, the chief beet belt,
thero is but a light yield and In the
vicinity of Union where there was
plenty of water to Irrigate the crop,
less than three-fourths of a full crop
will be gathored.
While the beets are thin on the
ground they are also light in sugar
percentage, as the frost affected the
sugar qualities as well as thinning out
the plants.
The vicinity of Union Is rapidly be
coming tho sugar beet district of the
valley as the soil is heavier and water
for Irrigation purposes Is more plen
tiful. At first It was thought that
beets would not mature early enough
to escape early frosts In the fall In
the vicinity of Union, but experiments
have proved quite the contrary and
now the most uniform beets carrying
the highest percentage of sugar, are
grown In that district.
Little outside labor will be used in
harvesting the crop as most of the
acreage Is owned by Mormons having
large families and local labor. In ad
dition to the labor provided by the
families of the owners, will be suf
ficient to handle the crop. Formerly
about 250 Japanese and 100 Umatilla
Indians were employed In the Grand
Ronde beet harvest, but few of either
Indians or Japanese will be used this
year.
The factory will be forced to em
ploy a full force of men, which will
consist of about 120 men and boys,
but It will run but 25 days or little
more than half the usual length of
time. The machinery Is so arranged
and the process of extracting the sugar
so complicated that although the fac
tory might run but a week, it would
be necessary to have a full force even
for thot time.
About 2SS0 acres of beets were
planted In the county this season, but
fully one-half of this acreage Is non
productive on account of dry weather
and frost.
WORKING WOMEN
Their Hard Struggle Made Easier Interesting State
ments by a Young Lady in Boston
and One in Nashville, Tenn.
Alfalfa Root 2? Feet Lone
A Kansas paper says an alfalfa root
27 feet In length was carried Into the
Big Blue river by the raving In of
All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhnea,
or perlAps irregularity or suppression
of "monthly periods, causing- back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an Invigorat
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand np, and every movement causes
pain, the orltrln of which is due to
some derangement of the female or
ganism.
Miss F. Orser of 14 Warrenton Street,
Ifdla E. Plukbam't Vegetable Compound
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering ; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I suffered misery tor several years with
Irregular menstruation. My back ached; I
had bearing down pains, and frequent head
aches; I could not sleep and could hardly
drag around. I consulted two physicians
without relief, and as a last resort, I tried
Lydia IS. Pin kham's Vegetable Compound, and
to my surprise, every ache and pain left me,
I gained tea pounds and am in perfect health.
Miss Pearl Ackers of 327 North Sum
mer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I suffered with painful periods, sever
backache, bearing-down pains, pains anroa
the abdomen; was very nervous and Irrita
ble, and my trouble grew worse every month.
My physician failed to help me and I
decided to try Lydia E. PinkhanVs Vegetable
Compound. I soon found it was doing me
good. All my pains and aches disappeared,
and I no longer fear my monthly periods.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

troubles. It strengthens the proper
muscles, and displacement with ail its
horrors will no more crush yon.
Backache, dizziness, fainting, bear

all symptoms of the one cause will
be quickly dispelled, and it will make
you strong and well.
