time as 2,681 miles from Japan. Tbe
weather was cloudy, with a gentle
easterly breese and' ssa prevailing.

HEN AS COIN MAKER, "
En Output for Single Yesr Reaches
Sum of 280,000,000.
Topeka, Kan., Nov; 2. Statistics
pi-spared by the- United States board
of agriculture show that tba earnings
of poultry In the United States In one
year were greater than tbe veins of
either the cotton crop, wheat crop or
swine output.
Tbe latest report of the department
snowed that the value of the egg oat
put for a aingle year amounted to more
than $290,000,000. Twelve years ago
the farmers of Kansas began to pay
more attention to their poultry, and
this state haa become the greatest
poultry state in the Union. The pro
uet of tbe hen is rapidly paying off the
mortgages on many farms, and the
business hss reached a point where the
laying capacity and profit of hens is a
paramount queation. -
Tbe State Agricultural college la
conducting Interesting experiments
with poultry, and a recent report shows
that the cost of keeping nine.bens eight
months was $8.81, whereas tba eggs
laid in the same period brought in
26.66, leaving a profit of $17.78 or
$1.61 for each ban.
CHEESE EXPORT FALLS OFF.
New Zealand Takes Trade From Can
adian Provinces..
Ottawa, Out, Nov. 1 Canada fa
losing her bold on tba cheese trade.
The production of Canadian chssss so
far this season Is approximately 1,78ft,
000 boxes, which Is only 8,000 boxes to
excess of tba production during tba
same period last year, bat the pries re
ceived is, on an average, one cent a
pound loss than waa obtained a year
ago.
In explaining this anomalous situa
tion, sxportera say that the tower
prices are due to a considerable extent
to the inereaee in the New Zealand
cheese output. Last year 620,000 box-
wera made . la New Zee' end, which
five years ago produced only 66,000
boxes.
Nsw Zealand's sale of ehosee has
now displaced the Canadian makes on

These are sentiments exprsssed by
John A. Fos, specisl director of the
National Rivers and Harbors congress,

On hia recent tour Mr. Fox started

tier of states, and northward along the
Pacific coast from San Diego to Bell
ingbam. Ho men retraced hia steps to
Portland and itudied the situation an

Much lees to farm buildings and

and women are out fighting the flames.
The towns af Lemro and MeNeeley,
threatened for a time, wars saved after
strenuous affects.
The firs started to tba Southern part
of the county and was swept along by
a high sooth wind. At one time Lata
ro was completely surrounded by
flamae, but at last reports the place
waa believed to hove been saved. The
entire population and tba aurroundiog
country went ant to combat the flames
and for boors worked desperately.
The town of MeNeeley suffered
similar experience and the flames were
diverted only after heroic efforts.
Oat on the open prairie, away from

Senator Carter Proposes Method to
Obviate Bond Issus.
Denver, No. 1. United States Sen
ator Thomas C Carter, of Montana,
chairman of to senate committee on
irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands, arrived to Denver this morning,
several others of tba committee arriv
ing later to the day.
"There are projects now under way,"
said Senator Carter, "which call for
the expenditure of between $40,000000
and $60,000,000 for enterprises which
ought to be limbed to completion im
mediately, to order to open dp bomes
for the settlers and to provide for re
plenishing of the reclamation fund.
"It has been suggssted that govern
ment bonds be issued to provide tbe
capital necessary. My own idea is that
warrants issued against the reclama
tion fund would servo the purpose
equally well.
"There haa already been expended on
the Pathfinder system in Wyoming 11,
000,000, but until the distributing sys
tem is completed there will be no pay
ments collected by tbe government.
"Tbe Salt river project will require
an expenditure of more than $8,000,-

been expended and tba dam which im

Helena, Ark., Oct. 28. President.
Tsft's rivsr schedule went all to piecea
yastsrdsy, owing to tba inability of
the veeeals following bis flagship, too
Oleander, to maintain the obsignated

with the fleet ss f ar as possibls and de
layed his arrival at Memphis threo
bours to order that the boat csrrying
tbe 16 governors and the ,177 eongrsss-
men, as wall as other vessels carrying-
delegates to the waterways eonventkn
in New Orleans, might land at tba sam
time.
Leaving here nearly three hours late.
tbe president will not reach Vicksbars;
until 6 o'clock or later tonight, that
being hia next stop. Even to make
that city at 6 p. m., tbe president will
have to leave the other vessels behind.
It had been intended that tbe president,
should be welcomed once- more to Ar
kansas by Governor Donaghey, bat the
governor's boat waa an boor behind tba
presidsnt, and ths introductory speech
was made by Mayor Martin
Tbe delay la tbe arrival caossd much
confusion, however, and two of tba
president's cabinet ministers came near
getting left on tbe return from tbe au
ditorium. The president In bis address at Mem-
phi delared that such eommercciet
advantages aa ths Mississippi rivsr si
ready afforded were not Being taken
advantsgs of. Hs also pointed out the
hsrd work that would have to be don
to start a system of commerce, avem
after the deep waterway bad been se
cured. -
The president Is still very hoarse-
end It was with great effort that b
spoke.
He referred to tbe flotilla Jeetinglr
as a "traveling show, booked for a full
performance," end regretted that on
part of the show was called upon to fill
