MEET DEATH IN HUGE WAVE. Six Killed and Thirty-six Injured in Cunard Line's Campania. Five persons swept overboard , one dead after an operation and thirty- six injured is the roster of victims of the tremendous wave that descended upon the Cunard line steamship Cam pania off the great banks of New foundland Wednesday. So sudden was the coining of the disaster and so great the confusion which attended and fol lowed it , that even the officers of the Btcamer themselves were unable upon the vessel's arrival in Xcw York to es timate the full extent of the tragedy. The Campania was plowing along under full headway. A heavy quarter ing sea was running , but the weather conditions were far from unpleasant aild the big boat's decks were crowd ed with passengers. The steerage deck .was covered with merry-makers and there was nothing' to indicate the ap proaching disaster , when suddenly the big steamer lurched to port and scooped up an enormous sea. The wave boarded the steamer about rnid- ships on the port side and swept clear across the steerage deck , completely filling the space between that deck and .the deck above , carrying everything with it. So deep was the steamer's side buried that the passengers on the deck above the steerage were sub- jnerged to their waists as the immense -volume of water rolled aft and then surged forward. Others , dashed against the rails and Bother like obstructions , escaped death , but many of them received severe in juries. One young woman had both legs broken at the thigh and several persons suffered broken arms and ribs , while more than a score were bruised -and battered. All the cabin passengers on the up- i per deck succeeded in clinging to sup ports , while the waters surged around them , and were saved , but the unfor tunates on the steerage deck found themselves utterly helpless. The irre sistible rush of waters , sweeping to ward the forward part of the ship , car- lied everything before it So great was the volume and force of the rush ing waters that a door in the rail was smashed and through this opening five of the helpless ones were swept to -their death. Article 5. The imperial Russian gov ernment transfer and assign to the im perial government of Japan , with the consent of the government of Chian , the lease of Port Arthur , Talicn and the ad jacent territory and territorial waters and all rights , privileges and concessions connected with or forming part of such lease , and they also transfer and assign to tlic imperial govcrnment'of Japan all public works and properties in the terri tory affected by the above mentioned lease. The two contracting parties mutually engage to obtain the consent of the Chi nese government mentioned in the fore going stipulation. The imperial government of Japan on their part undertake that the proprie tary rights of Russian subjects iu. the territory above referred to shall be per fectly respected. Article ( . The imperial Russian gov ernment engage to transfer and assign to the imperial government of Japan without compensation and with the con sent of the Chinese government the rail way between' Changclmnfu and Ivwan- cliigt.su and Port Arthur and all thd branches , together with all the rights , privileges and properties appertaining thereto inthat region , as well as all tho coal mines in said region belonging to or worked for the benefit of the railway. China's Consent to Be Gained. The two high contracting parties mu tually engage to obtain the consent of the government of China mentioned in the foregoing stipulation. Article 7. Japan and Russia engage to exploit their respective railways in Manchuria exclusively for commercial andindustrial purposes and nowise for strategic purposes. It is understood that this restriction does not apply to the rail way in the territory affected by the lease of the Liaotung peninsula. Article S. The imperial governments of Japan and Russia , with the view to promote ami facilitate intercourse and trallic. will ns soon as possible conclude a separate convention for the regulation of their connecting railway services in Manchuria. Iu Article 0 Russia cedes to Japan all of Sakhalin Island below latitude 00 , and both powers agree to construct forts or military works in Sakhalin. Tho straits of Tartary and Perouse are to re main free to navigation. Article 10 protects Russians in ceded territory in their former rights. The treaty then says : Article 31. Russia engages to arrange with Japan for granting to Japanese sub jects rights of fishery along the coasts of the Russian possession in the Japan , Okhotsk , and Bering sens. It is agreed that the foregoing en gagement shall not affect rights already belonging to Russian or foreign subjects in tho c regions. Article VI provides for a commercial treaty on the most favored nation bnsls. Article 13 provides for the repatriation of prisoners of war. It says Japan and Russia shall prepare statements of expenses incurred in maintaining prison ers , and adds : "Russia engages to repay to Japan , as soon ns possible after the exchange of statement , as above provided , the differ ence between the actual amount so ex pended by Japan and the actual aniouuC similarly disbursed by Russia. " M. Tcraoutchi , Japanese Minister of War , has issued an order instructing the Japanese army in the field to ab stain from criticising the terms o peace on the grounds that the declara tion of peace and of war are entirely the outcome of sovereign power. His order forbids the criticism of either subject , especially by those engaged in military service. He advises the sol diers to utilize the opportunities of peace after the disbaudment of their regiments by engaging in their respec tive occupations , always holding them- 'Selves ' in readiness to join the colors at the Emperor's command. BIG FAIR PAYS DIVIDEND. HcmarkabTe Showing Ulade at Port land Exposition's Close. The Lewis and Clark exposition came to a close at midnight Saturday , com- j pleting the biggest enterprise of its kind ever held on the coast. The closing cere monies were appropriate. When the gates of the exposition closed at 1 o'clock Sunday morning , n total attendance of 5G9GO ; for the day had been registered , making a grand total for the entire fair period of 2,54ouO ! ) . The attendance for the last day ranks third in point of num bers , Portland day and Fourth of July being the only greater days. The exposition was entirely successful. In point of attendance all predictions were beaten. While the fair was well patronized by the home people , great throngs of visitors from all parts of the United States were constantly in the city , often taxing the hotel capacity to the limit. Naturally the merchants are well satisfied with Ihe success of the ex position. Financially also the exposition went beyond all expectations. It is known beyond a doubt thnt the stock holders will receive a dividend of at least oO per cent , while it is more than possible that a 40 per cent dividend will be declared. This places Portland sec ond only to Omaha ia financial records' lor world's fairs and fourth in point of attendance among twelve that have been held. held.The The State of Orepou appropriated ?

Population of Portland by recent cen sus of assessor is 115,000 and of entire Northwest within a radius of 200 miles of Portland 1,800,000 , hence the attend ance was most gratifying. Official esti mates were 1,000,000 below the actual figures. The greatest benefit of the fair , however , is the permanent good it has done to the city of Portland and the Pa cific Northwest iu general. News of Minor Note.

Promise Given More Than a Year ARO , Uoosevelt Takes a Trip South Has Now Visited Every State in the Union. In accordance with a promise given more than a year ago , President Roose velt started Wednesday on an extend ed trip through the States of the South , intending to visit all of the Atlantic coast States , Alabama , Arkansas and Louisiana. On the completion of his trip he will have visited during his ad ministration as President every State in the Union. After tentative arrangements for the trip had been completed , the epidemic of yellow fever broke out in New Or leans , one of the principal points of the President's itinerary. lie was urged by many of his friends that he ought not to visit New Orleans at the time scheduled , lest he be exposed To officials of New Orleans the Pres ident suggested that , if they preferred , he would postpone his visit to that city until a later date. Assurances were given him , however , by Mayor Uehr- inan and bj * officials of the marine hos pital service that at the time of his proposed visit to New Orleans danger from fever infection practically would be out of consideration. President Roosevelt left Washington over the Southern Railway. In his par ty were Secretary William Loeb , Jr. . Dr. P. M. Rixey , surgeon general of the ravy ; John A. Mcllheujiey of Louisiana , a member of the President's regiment of rough riders ; John C. Crrenway of Michigan ; John S. Elliott , commissioner of the interior for Porto Rico : M. C. Latta and John L. Me- Grew , stenographers ; Henry A. Stroll- meyor , photographer ; Colonel L. S. Brown , general agent of the Southern Railway ; representatives of the three press associations , two secret service officers and a corps of messengers. Speaks at Richmond. At Richmond the President made an address in Capitol Square and was en tertained at luncheon by the citizens and taken for a drive to points of in terest in the city. In his speech the President said in part : I trust I need hardly say how reat 5 ? my pleasure at speaking iu this historic capital of your historic State ; the State than which no other has contributed a larger proportion to the leadership of the nation ; for on the honor roll of those American worthies whose greatness is not only for the age. but for all time , not only for one nation , but for all tlu world , on this honor roll Virginia's name stands above all others. And in greeting all of you. I know that no one will grudge my saying a spe cial word of acknowledgment to the vet erans of the Civil War. A man would indeed be but a poor American who could without a thrill witness the way in which , in city after city in the North ns in the South , on every public occa sion , the men who wore the bine and the men. who wore the gray now march and stand shoulder to shoulder. This gives tangible proof that we are nil now in fact as well as in name a re united people , a people infinitely richer because of tho priceless memories left to all Americans by you men who fought in the great war. Many and great problems lie before us. We of this nation enjoy extraordinary privileges , and as our opportunity is great , therefore our responsibility is great. In foreign affairs "we must make up our minds that , whether we wish it or not , we arc a great people and must play a great part in the world. It is not open , to us to choose whether we will play that great part or not. We have to play it ; all we can decide is whether we shall play it well or ill. Our mission in the world should be one of peace , but not the peace of cravens , the peace granted contemptuously to those who purchase it by surrendering the right. In particular we must remember that in undertaking to build the Panama canal we Lave necessarily undertaken to police the seas at either end of it ; and this means that we have a peculiar in terest iu the preservation of order in the coasts and islands of the Caribbean. The extraordinary growth of indus trialism during the last half century brings every nivilized people face to face Avith the gravest social and economic questions. This is an age of combina tion among capitalists and combination among wage workers. It is idle to try to prevent such combinations. Our ef forts should be to see that they work for the good and not for the harm of the body politic. Many republics have risen in the past , and some of them flourished long , but sooner or later they fell ; and the cause most potent in bringing about their fall was in almost all cases the fact that they grew to be governments in the in terest of a class instead of governments in the interest of all. It was ultimately as fatal to the cause of freedom whether it was the rich who oppressed the poor or the poor who plundered the rich. The crime of bru tal disregard of rights of others is as much a crime when it manifests itself in the shape of greed and brutal arro gance on the one side , as when it mani fests itself in the shape of envy and lawless violence on the other. Our aim must be to deal justice to each man ; no more and no less. * * * More than this no man is entitled to. and less than this no man shall have. The idea of restoring St. Savior's church , Soulhwark , England , as a me morial to John Harvard probably will be carried out within a few months. Of tho $10.000 required $9,000 has already been secured by subscriptions from. Americans resident in London iand visit ing Americans.

It is not au easy task for the man Who must do all of the work around the farm most of the year to handle some things alone , so that if he is at all ingenious he welcomes the devices which will enable Mm to do his work more easily. Here is a plan for one man to handle grains or any other thing which may be placed in a bag which is stored in the upper part of the bam and must go to the main floor. Take a bag of strong material , a seed bag Is the best , and have It re- sewed so that it will be a trifle smaller at the top than in any other part ; a light iron or strong wire hoop is then sewn around the top , so that the bag LABOR-SAVIXQ BAG. is kept open and yet the contents are not easiiy spilled out. Two rings are placed in the bottom of the bag sev eral Inches apart and a ring is slipped over the wire or iron hoop before it is sewed to the bag. Place a strip of lumber properly braced over tlie top of the door and to it fasten three pul leys , the center one fastened so that It will come down some four inches lower than the others. Now fasten one rope to the ring in the hoop , run it through the first and the third pulleys and you have the raising and lowering rope. Then fasten a second rope in the ring at the bottom of the bag , the one farthest away , run It through the second ring and then up through the middle pulley and you have the con trivance by which the bag may be easily dumped. A glance at the illus tration will show how useful this ap pliance Is and how readily it will work in practice. Use the Whitewash. A writer in a prominent poultry journal says that the houses should be whitewashed and cleaned twice a year. By cleaning it is assumed he means everything removed and thoroughly renovated. The poultry man who works on this plan can not keep the house free from vermin and disease no matter how freely he may use in sect powder , and how thoroughly the whitewashing is done twice a year. Twenty years of experience in raising poultry has taught the writer than no house ought to go longer than two months without being thoroughly whitewashed in every nook and crev ice. In certain seasons the work is done more frequently. All our houses aro built with scratching sheds so it is easyto do the whitewashing while the hens are in the shed and then by shutting them in the house whitewash' the scratching sheds. . Insect powder is , of course , a necessity , but less of it will be necessary if the houses are kept clean by lime and disinfectant. Door for a Hop : Uonse. There is no good reason why the door to the hog house should be made of heavy boards and kept shut nor why the house should be without any door If one will work out this simple plan. Take some strong burlap or an old fertilizer bag and get a few laths. Plate the laths an Inch apart on both LLLli f r f .f DOOH FOR THE HOG HOUSE. sides of the bag ( crosswise ) and fasten them to each other , nailing through the bag. Hern the edges of the bag BO they will not rav A , then fasten over the opening in the door , letting it near ly touch at the bottom. The laths will weight it sufficiently to hold It in place BO that It will keep out cold and storm , yet It will be sufficiently light so that the hogs can push it with their heads when they want to get in or out of the house. The illustration shows the plan plainly and It will work better than any door we know of , obviating the trouble of opening the door every time the hogs are to be let out. If desired the regulation board door may be put In place , to be closed when desired. Reform in Milking. Additional knowledge and the ne cessity for looking after every detail in order that the dairy may be profit able. Las resulted in wonderful im provements in the care of cows and of the milk afterward. Stringent health laws of the several cities have forced the shiftless man to wake up or else get out of business. There are still many opportunities for improve ment , particularly along the line of cleanliness of the cows and of the sta bles and milking along more scientific lines. If the dairyman was half as clean as the milkman there would be little to complain of. The milkman must , of course , keep his milk on ice , but use an abundance of scalding water in the washing of bottles and utensils of tin , and further purify them in the sun. I go further and wash the little crates of wood in which bottles of milk are carried , using hot water and scouring soap and give these , too , a sun bath. See that ice boxes are scrubbed with Lot water daily , that the milkhouse floor Is also scrubbed , and then thoroughly drie Derrick for Stacking Hay. Where there Is much hay to stack labor and time may be saved by using a derrick. There are numerous plans for building a derrick , but none is sim pler or cheaper than this design , which is the invention of a farmer , who says : I have tried to make a drawing of a derrick that I put up to stack hay with this year. It works so slick that I am sure it will please anybody. The pole is 10 inches at the butt , 5 at top and 47 feet long. I made a mortise at the butt through wliich to put a chain to fasten it to the tree. Twenty- two feet from that I bored an inch hole , through which to put a pin to keep legs from slipping. I used crotches for legs , and wired them fast to the pole. I twisted four No. 12 wirestogether for cable with which to stiffen pole by guying to tree as shown in cut. I can take a fair-sized load at four forkfuls with this rig. When we get a stack done we rope the two legs together , hitch a team of horses to them , as illustrated , and haul it over to a new place ; it works like a boom on a mast. If I had not had the tree handy I should have set a 50-foot HAY DERKICK. pole in the ground 4 or 5 feet , staying it with a couple of guy cables. I should fasten butt of pole the same as a boom ; then I could build stacks three-quarters of the way round the center pole. We build our stacks 22 feet square and 25 to 28 feet high. By having a pulley at the legs , as shown , the hay will not rub against the stack , but swing clear and drop right in the middle of the stack , there by keeping the center of the stack solid , thus making it sure to keep good. Spraying with Bordeaux. I have been spraying with the liquid bordeaux , arsenate of soda , and arse- nate of soda and arsenate of lead com bined for several years with good re sults. I give one good spraying just before the bloom , a second just as soon as most of the bloom has fallen , a third a week or two later , a fourth about a month later and made a fifth application last year still a month later , or the last of July or the first of August. For the last two applications the bordeaux was not used at full strength but the lime was increased rather than diminished and the arse- nates about the same. With a strong mixture all the season , the foliage Is sometimes injured , especially in wet weather , and when the leaves drop the fruit quits growing and does not take on the most beautiful color nor have the best flavor.

Across the great lakes In Canada there lies one of the world's largest reserves of timber. In spite of tho tariff Imposed much of this timber Js to-day coming to the United States. The forests of the Dominion are begin ning to yield abundantly. More than 100,000,000 feet of pine sawlogs and square timber , during a recent season , were cut upon territory held under timber license from the crown. Much of Canada's timber land has not yet even been explored. In the newly developed districts of Algoma , which are close to the great lakes , it : Js estimated that there are more than 100,000,000 cords of spruce and pulp- wood , while in the districts of Thun der Bay and Rainy River there are nearly 200,000,000 cords more. A belt at least 3,000 miles long ia believed to exist in Canada between Alaska and the Atlantic. It has been estimated that , at tha present rate of cutting , the greatest timber resources of the United States those of the PaciOc coast will be exhausted in less than half a century. The annual cut of shingles and lumber in these regions is 4,500,000,000 feet. The standing timber in Washington , Oregon and northern California at present is twice that of the original timber lands of the northern woods. Washington produces about as many feet of shingles and other lumber as Oregon and California together. Tliis State is noted for its shingles , thero- being more than 1,000 shingle mills within its' borders. At Tacoma are lo cated the larg t sawmills in tha United States. THE SECRET OF YOUTH. De Soto looked for the secret of fouth in a spring of gushing , life-giv ing waters , which he was sure ha would find in the New World. Alchem- ists and sages ( thousands of them ) , have spent their lives in quest of it , .but it is only found by those happy 'people ' who can digest and assimilate/ the right food which keeps the physi cal body perfect that peace and com fort are the sure results. A remarkable man of 04 says : "For many long years I suffered more or less with chronic costiveness aud pain- lul indigestion. This condition made life a great burden to me , as you may well Imagine. "Two years ago I began to use Grape-Nuts as food , and am thankful that I did. It has been a blessing to me in every way. I first noticed that it had restored my digestion. This was a great gain , but was nothing to com- parejn importance with tho fact that in a short time my bowels were re stored to free and normal action. "The cure seemed to be complete ; for two years I have had none of the * old trouble. I use the Grape-Nuts food ! every morning for breakfast and fre quently eat nothing else.
