Dalny is the Russian name for the
ancient, but rejuvenated, Chinese city
of Tallen-Wan, on the east coast of
the Leao-Tong peninsula, Manchuria.
Millions of dollars have been spent by
Russia In recent yean to make the
city the czar’s military and commer-
cial stronghold in the orient The pic-
ture, reproduced from a photograph,
gives a bird's eye view of the port and
city. It can readily be seen that the
Japanese warships, If they could ap-
proach close enough to make shot and
shell effective, might cause immense
damage by a vigorous bombardment
The map shows the general plan of
the city and the locations of the prin*
ripal buildings in the Russian city.

Texas is noted for its fruits and vege-
tables, and these crops are reported to
be in a thriving condition. In some
localities farmers are expecting the
usual large crop of tomatoes at least a
month earlier than last year. In other
localities the farmers became dis-
satisfied with - the returns from last
year’s tomato crop and have paid less
attention to that fruit this year. A
few peach trees, were injured by late
frosts, but generally speaking, the
chances for a large crop is most flat-
tering. Not a few of the farmers have <
gone extensively into the raising of
potatoes, and it is presumed that many
carloads will be shipped by early May.
The potatoes are up and all doing
well. There are a few reports of dry
weather, but complaints of that kind
are not numerous.
