Naval Training Ship Aids in Fight
Takes Many on Board.
Duluth, Minn., Sept. 12. Unless a
heavy rain falls within the next 48
hours, the total destruction by forest
fires of every town on the north shore
of Lake Superior in Cook county Is al
most certain. No rain has fallen in
this district since July 10 and every
thing in the woods is as dry as parch
ment. Last evening the walls of fire,
with a heavy wind behind them, ex
tended all the way to the settlements.
Wild-eyed and shaking with fear,
the inhabitants are gathered along the
shore prepared to take to the lake in
small craft should the worst come.
Within less than two miles of Grand
Marais, a town of 1,500, there is in
flames a tract of spruce and brush over
three miles in length. A strong land
breeze from the northwest is at pres
ent shooting the fire along the out
skirts of the town, giving the village a
lease of life.
The training ship Gopher, which
brought the naval militia to aid in
fighting the fire, is in the harbor and is
taking women and children aboard. The
ship was welcomed with tears of joy
on her arrival, and only the aid of the
militia has saved the town up to this
time.
Conditions at Tigeon River Indian
Reservation, at Big bay, Chicago bay,
Cascade, Cofton and Nutson, are sim
ilar to those existing at Grand Marais.
Reaver bay, on Lake Superior, 80 miles
northeast of Duluth, is reported to be
in peril.
NEW COINS DEFECTIVE.
St. Qaudena Twenties Oo Not "Stack"

San Francisco, Sept. 12. Activity
at the San Francisco mint in the coin
ing of the St. Gaudens gold pieces has
been suspended. The first few days'
output amounted to $430,000, but the
double eagles, it has been found, will
not "stack with the eld coins of the
same denomination. In a stack of $400
the new coins are half the thickness of
a piece short. While the double eagles
again bear the legend "In God We
Trust," it has been learned that the
trust is not of ten-dollar dimensions.
Superintendent Sweeney received a
telegram from Washington saying,
Coin eagles with 'In God We Trust.' "
In due time a letter was received by
him from Washington authorities
which read, "We wired you as fol
lows: "Coin no eagles with 'In God
We Trust.'jJ This we beg leave to con
firm."
The coinage of the eagles stopped
and the money presses are idle, await
ing instructions.

Wright Flies Aeroplane for Over 70
Minutes.
Washington, Sept. 12. - In a flight
lasting one hour, ten minutes and 26
seconds, Orville Wright late yesterday
surrpassed all his previous exploits for
a time and distance flight for a heavier1
than-a'r machine.
Two flights were made at Fort Mey
er, Va, yesterday, the first being of
ten minutes and 50 seconds duration.
for the purpose of showing what rate
of speed he had.been traveling during
his long flights of the past three days.
Yesterday a test demonstrated, accord'
ing to the aviator's calculations, that
the speed of the aeroplane during the
record-breaking flights of Wednesday
and Thursday was 39.55 miles an hour.
The majority of those who witnessed
the long flight were roused to great
enthusiasm when the aviator for the
third successive day broke his previous
record.
Wants War Balloon at Atatcadero
San Francisco, Sept. 12. Colonel M.
P. Maus, head of the department of
California, today asked the War de
partment to send at least one dirigible
balloon to Atascadero, Cal., when the
maneuvers of the California and Ari
zona troops are in progress. It is the
object of the commanding officers to
reproduce as nearly as possible the
conditions of actual warfare in the en
campment this ye r and it is desired
that a balloon be cert here for trial in
the sham battles that are to be fought

ALASKA WHEAT.
Idaho Eitperiment Station Man Writes
Concerning It.
By B. E. Hya'op. Asronomlat. University of Idaho
r.culturl fciperiinant Station. Muacow.
On account of the numerous in
quiries coming into our station, wc
find it necessary to issue this presi
bulletin concerning the so-called
"Alaska" wheat.
This wheat, when given ample field
space or conditions favorable to the
individual plant, has a branching head
borne on a rather tough straw at a
height of between four and five feet.
The mesh bears two and three ker
nels. When grown under close field
conditions the head tends to be much
smaller, branches less, and the mesh
bears from one to two kernels, very
seldom three. If heads grown under
these conditions alone were examined
the impression would be obtained that
this wheat never bears but two ker
nels to the mesh, a mistake which
some writers appear to have made.
The beards, while not numerous,
are dark in color and considerably
stronger than we find on our common
wheats, but not so long or stiff as
those found on the durums or maca
roni wheats. The normal kernel if
light in color, short and plump, with
an unusually open groove, which al
lows the kernel to be easily broken
in threshing. A cross-section shows
the interior to be white and powdery,
with comparatively little horny starch
The shrunken kernels naturally are
harder.
Taking everything into considera
tion, I am led to conclude that this
is the Egyptian or Miracle wheat, a
Poulard, and that it belongs to that
variety of the Egyptian known as
Eldorado, which is very closely re
lated to the seven-headed variety.
The Toulards are peculiarly adapted
to dry regions, but never have been
Brown to any extent in America.
I heir yields have never proved to be
of such a nature as to warrant their
extensive growth( even for stock food
And the inferiority of the flour pro
duced from them has prevented their
use to any extent for the production
of bread.
The high yields claimed for thi
wheat in this section of the country,
in some cases 277 bushels per acre,
are fabulous. One of the promoters
states that .from one head of the
wheat he obtained seven pounds;
from these seven pounds he produced
1345 pounds, or a yield in round num
bers of 2U(7 fold. It is from these
figures that the yields noted in the
various papers, and in the circular of
the Adams-Hobe Seed Grain com
pany, of Juliaetta, Idaho, are com
puted. To show the ridiculousness of
computing yields in this way, we de
termined in a couple of fascs, the
number of grains produced from one
seed of Little Club grown under fa
vorable conditions in our breeding
plat. One plant produced 1170; the
other 1800 kernels. Now, reasoning
as this seed company has done, if we
should plant one bushel of thi j Little
Club to the acre, we would obtain
1178 or 1800 bushels. This would be
a rather high yield, even for Idaho.
This year the company had 700
acres in the wheat grown on different
farms in this locality. A thirty-acr.
tract near Moscow, which was
threshed in the middle of August,
went about thirty-two bushels per
acre. Mr. Adams stated at that time
that his best yields had been thirty
five bushels. He supplemented this
remark, however, with the statement
that his stands were poor in every
case. Hut considering the large acre
age, the fact that several different
farmers grew the crop, and the effect
of a close stand, noted above, we must
take this as an indication, at least, of
the yielding power of the wheat. This,
however, would not be considered an
extra large yield for this country.
The analysis of the wheat upon
which the company appears to base
its hopes amounts to practically noth
ing in determining the bread-makins
quality of the flour. It is true, that
hluestetn wheat, which analyzes higher
in protein than Little Club, makes a
better quality of flour, but it is alsc
true that macaroni wheat, which .an
alyzes higher in protein than IMue
stem, makes a lower class of flour.
and consequently is discriminated
against by the miller. The low-grade
Hours turned out from our mills usu
ally show a higher protein content
than the patent. Corn has consider-
able protein, but the chemist seems
unable to find any gluten (that all es
sential part of a good flour). liven
if the chemiM had found a high gluten
content in "Alaska" wheat, we would
still not be justified in concluding
that the wheat would make a good
quality of flour. The proof of tht
wheat is in the bread it will make,
promised to have a milling test madt
Upon our request the company hai
soon. Until this test is made, how
ever, we must assume that the wheat
will make no better flour under the
name of "Alaska" thsn it d d when
known as "Wheat of Miracle."
In spite of all the beautiful stories
which have been written concerning
the origin of this wheat, regardless of
the many wonderful things which
have been imagined about its quality,
and taking into consideration the im
pression as to yield, which has so
skillfully been thrown broadcast
throughout the American continent by
this seed company, who advertise their
wheat for sale at $J0 per bushel, we
nave yet to find any point of merit
in it which would warrant the public
paying more f,r "Alaska" wheat than
the prevailing maVet price of out
common varieties.

MAKES
o A LASTING CURE
' There are .ertaia mineral medicines which will remove the external
symptoms of Contagious Rlood Poison, and shut the disease up in the
system for awhile, but when the treatment is left off the disease will surely
return. Then-the loathsome symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat,
copper-colored spots, fallinsr hair, sores and ulcers,' etc., are usually worse
because the disease has made rapid progress on the iuternal members, and
weakened the constitution and general health of the sufferer. S. S. S. is
the only remedy that can be used with pet feet safety in the treatment of
Contagious Blood Poison, and with the assurance that a lasting cure will
result. This medicine, made entirely of roots and herbs of recognized
curative and tonic value, antidotes and destroys the powerful virus of the
disease, and by purifying the blood of every particle of the poison and
enriching and strengthening the circulation, removes every sypmptom of
the trouble. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up the disease tn any way, but
drives it entirely out from the blood, leaving not the slihtebt trace for
