SOIL SCRVEY. Dcpartment of Agriculture Map Flf. teen Million Acre of Land. Washington, Dec. 29. The soil sur vey of the department of agriculture has mapped 15,572,320 acres of land during the past fiscal year, according to the annual reports of the soils bu reau. Surveys were made In 28 states. Rhode Island Is the first state In the union of which a complete survey has been made. The maps show the different kinds of soil which occur In the different areas. The report says that the work during the past eight years shows the three great agricultural problems now arc: First, the western farmer Is chiefly concerned with the preenco of alkali and Its removal or control: second, the eastern farmer is chiefly concern ed with the study of the adaptation of I the proper crop to the proper soil t?. third, with the maintenance or ' oration of soil fertility. 'I 'ie tomee investlirations of the in au have been extended. In Texas -operative experiments have been arried on with the farmers, the ro .ort adds, with the result that new arlctles of filler tobacco are being :rown that sell for from 28 to 40 cents oer pound, with an average price of .0 rents. In thla manner a new In i dustry is being developed In a region i where the staple crop cotton is be !ng seriously threatened by the rav ! ages of the boll weevil. $ Under the methods Introduced by ,h hllrM11 , boii. nroflts have been I the 1 j ,ncr,,aHt.(, from $5 per acre, under the old system, to nearly under the new system. 130 per acre The season of Indigestion Is upon us.

Coal Is still the burning question In Baker City, or rather the not burning question, because there' is none here to burn, according to the Herald. Saturday there was a lone car of coal delivered to a dealer In this city, but i this was soon peddled out. Yesterday! the Baker City Feed mills announced that they had two cars of coal on the way wMch would reach here by the end of the week. People fell over themselves to place orders. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon when one man placed an order he waa notified thnt there were 2011 ahead of him. The situation Is no longer n Joke. It Is becoming more serious and unless there is something done for Immedi ate relief there will be a great deal of suffering result. Down in Huntington last week, they ran out of coal and were getting very chilly waiting for the promised relief. The situation became unendurable, and a committee of cltliena called on the O. R. & N. agent and told him they must have coal. Ho turned over n uu ui itiiiivuu lutii uiiu mm mem ; to take it If they could use It It was nothing hut slack, but answered ' .v.. , .i . . -n .. iwe pui JU3e auu .rauuuuttiuil luuuu a short relief. Of course. In Baker City, there is plenty of wood, but many stoves will not burn this wood as they are built for coal. To burn wood means the purchase of a new stove and this means an extra expense. LONGEST BRIDGE SPAN. Ia In the Great Cantilever Over St. Lawrence River. Quebec, Que., Dec. 29. A party of civil engineers, Including several men of national prominence, arrived here today to Inspect the work on the great cantilever bridge now building here across the St. Lawrence river. The bridge Is of especial Interest to engineers, as It forms the largest single span ever built. It reaches across the St. Lawrence river In a single span of 1800 feet. This Is nearly 100 feet longer than the spans of the Firth or Forth bridge canti levers, which measure 1710 feet In the clear. Although the new St. Lawrence river brldgg will exceed the bridges over the East river in New York in total length of span. It will not com pare with them in the magnitude of the traffic that it can carry. Its total width is only 75 feet, not much more than one-half the width of the Wil liamsburg bridge, which measures 120 feet over all and provljes two 18-foot roadways, four trolley tracks, two elevated tracks, two passenger foot ways and two bicycle tracks. "THE DEVIL" CONFISCATED. Stat no of "Beelzebub" In Detroit Is Taken for Debt. Chicago, Dec. 20. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Detroit says: Lugged away In an old cart yester day, Herman Mentz's statuo of the devil now is being guarded by a con stable. The Image was set up two months ago by Menz and created a sensation. Menz Is not a believer In the Deity, and wrought the statue to symbolize his feeling as to the future. A constable with a writ of replevin called at the home of the old German stonecutter and levied on the idol. The owner resisted the demand of the officer and he and his family tried to save the statue from capture, even go ing so far as to bring a sledge ham mer to smash it to bits. The constable and his assistants were successful in removing the statue and thus made return on the writ that was sworn out by Warren WeBt of Ypsilanti, on a claim of 151.40 for labor, part of which was performed on "Belzebub."
