The amount' contributed for home missions was an increase of $14,460 over the amount contribut ed to this cause the year previous, and 'is the largest amount the church has given to home missions during anyyear of her history, v J , The attendance of commissioners to fho assembly this year was increased on account of the change in the basis of representation.

Write today. MARK. H. JAtit HON. No. 5 Gurney BJdg., Syracuse, In. y." i . Mr. Jackson Is repsonslble. Above statement true. Pub. i Washington, May 21. Lower Cali fornia, Mexico's isolated peninsula, the coast of whlrih the Pacific fleet of the United States is now patroling, Is onf of the least known territories in Nortti America. " The following facta concerning this arm of land, which projects about S0O miles southeasterly from the' southern , border of Cali fornia, were given dut by the National Goorgraphto Society at Washington, today: The (Width of the peninsula varies from about 30 to more than 100 miles, and Us irregular coast-line, over 2,000 miles long, is bordered by numerous islands. Being mainly a mountainous, desert region, it is thin ly -peopled and presents many sharply contrasting conditions. Low sun eorched plains, where death by thirst awaits the traveler, lie close to the bases of towring franlte peaks, belt ed by 'forests and capped in winter by snow; dedolate plateaus of black lava look down en valleys seamed with green -bordered streatns. At the time of its discovery in 1611 by an expedition sent out by Cortes in search of a fabulously rich Island, It Is estimated to have ten Inhabit. ed by 25,000 Indians, who vigorously resented tbe Intrusion and prevented the new comers from getting a foot hold- for mors than a century. The Jeauttes then 'came In and were won derfully successful in exploring the JJroad Variety of Jrunks.

They established three main trails. one along each coast and the third down the middle, which sen' as the regular, routes of travel today. The Indians have vanished from all parts of their former territory, ' except a few in the extreme northern end. . During the last half century . alt parts of the territory have been visit ed mainly by Amecicans, , in search of mines and other flatural resources, but little of the knoweldge gained has become available to the public- Gold, silver, copper, Iron and other miner als and much fertile land have been found, but the scarcity of water, fuel. forage, and the dlffcultles of transpor tation have united with other causes to bring about failure to develop the resources. . The climate of Lower California In general is hot and arid. Northern conditions are closely like those In adjoining parts of southern Caifor nia; In the middle they are more arid, but tbe extreme southern end, though arid, tropical, has more regu lar summer rains. The peninsula suffers long perlocis of drought, dur ing which no rainfall sufficient to start vegetation oecura over large areas for periods of from three to Ave years. They dry periods may be sue ceeded by torrential rains, which sweep the country, and roll' great floods down to the sea. Surface wa ter In scarce and limited mainly to Isolated water-holes In .the rocks or to springs from wheh small streams flow a short dstance. The Rio Santo Domingo is the one -living i stream within the peninsula which flows on the surface from Its source to the sea throughout the year. ; These - condi tions have resulted In the -develop ment of thu rlohest and most extra ordinary dessert flora In the - world. The bird and mammal'., life, how ever, is closely related to' that of southern California, The :- plains abound with .small desert mammals, such as rabbits, pocket mice, ' kanga roo rats and others. ; A large num ber' of the smaller mammals never drink water, it having been found Im possible to teach some of them to take water in captivity. 1 Antelope, moun tain sheep, mule-deer and mountain lions are the only large game animals. The peninsula is thinly .people and enromous areas remain' uninhabited. The most populous section Is the re gion routh of La Pas,-where rains are more regular than further north. A few small towns and widely scat tered communities along the coast, with a limited number of villages, ranches and miners' camps In the In terior, cover the poplatlon. Lower California has a territorial form of government, and (Owing to Its great length. Is divided near the middle In a northern nd a southern district, Enaenada end 1 Fss being the res pcctlve capitals. , MANY TOBACCO PLANTS BUT RAIN IS NEEDED Special to The Gaiette-News. Warsaw, May 21. Reports coming from various points in the surrounding country Indicate that there are plenty of tobacco plants, although the . ex tremely dry weather this section has experienced is causing much , trouble In transplanting. This work was due to have been done two or three weeks ago, but owing to the fact that no rain has fallen in several weeks the farmers are getting behind and the plants are getting rather large. The past few days have been cooler th.:i the preceding ones, and have bee.1 taken advantage of, though with only partial success. .. The crops that have been planted are also suffering in this respect, .t; I it Is feared that this will have a bad effect on the harvest the owners figured on carryinr a cer tain amount of freight in order to make expenses and to get a profit on their Investment For the first trip their expectations were eralized but according to their . statements, the amount of business had decreased since- that time. They have put the matter up to the shippers of New Bern and Washington and asked their aid in keeping the steamer in opera tion, declaring that It will be taken off the run after the next few trips unless the amount of patronage increases.
