PROTESTS .NOT CONSIDERED It It a Matter of Regret That So aMny Men Have Been Drawn Into This Matter by the False Idea of College Spirit STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., March 27. The most important de velopment of the day in the student situation was the issuance of a state ment by President Jordan in which he declares the parade was an organ ized revolt against the authority of the university. He upholds the action of the committee, which he says, no protest can change. Jordan's state ment follows: "The present difficulty has had its origin in an effort of the university authorities, trustees and faculty to rid the institution of the 'burden and disgrace of student drunkenness.' The student affairs committee is the regularly constituted disciplinary committee, having charge of these matters, and its actions are in accordance with the" definite in structions from the academic council. The demonstration March 16 was an organized expression of revolt pri marily against the university itself. It was necessary that the offense should be met squarely and definitely. This the committee has done and the university will continue to carry out its policy without reference to opposition or protest. "It is a matter of regret that so nlany fine young men have been drawn into this matter by the false idea of college spirit, the under cur rents in the affairs are not appearing on the surface and the moral issue is being obscured by sympathy for their fellows," The president's statement has not yet been made public, but when it becomes known it wll have the effect of stoppng any appeal for the reconsideration of the cases of the students dismissed. Jordan left for Helena, Mbntana, tonight. He will remain there until April 7. No further steps were taken today in re gard to. the movement of part of the students to leave College, as the re quisite c2SQ signatures to the agree ment have' not been obtained.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-In a desperate affray on a Pennsylvania avenue car, Tmohas Lumby, a negro, was shot in the head and Thomas McCreary, a New York horsetrainer, was shot in the leg by Congressman Thomas J. -Heflin, of Alabama, to night. The shooting of McCreary was accidental Heflin was arrested charged with assault and attempt to kill. Later lie was released on $5,000 bail. Heflin and Congressman Ellerbc were en route to the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopalian Church, where Heflin was to deliver a tem perance lecture. Heflin observed the two negroes, one of whom was Lum by, in the act of drinking from a whisky bottle. A number of ladies were on board and Heflin asked Lumby to stop drinking, saying "Don't take that drink; there are ladies in this car and it is not right. It is against the law for you to do this thing in a public, and I hope you will put that bottle away." The other negro, who was comparatively sober, attempted to take the bottle rom Lumby. Lumby applied vile epithets to Heflin, who engaged in a desperate struggle and succeeded in throwing Lumby off the car as it stopped. Most of the passengers, in cluding McCreary and his wife, alighted hastily. Lumby again re viled Heflin and made a motion to wards his hip pocket, 1 whereupon lefln got his gun into action, firing at the negro through .the car window, but missed, his bullet hitting Mc Creary. He fired one or two more shots and brought Lumby down with bullet in his head. McCreary's would is not serious. Lumby has a chance to recover. Heflin is the with the faculty committee on stu dent affairs will not be dropped as long as there is a single avenue open for protest or a single method of ap peal left untried, and as more than 200 students already have pledged themselves to leave the university there is a strong probability of a gen- j err.l walkout tomorrow. If the sug gested line of action is carried out the registration at the university. will be depleted by a full third within 24 hours. s' V Definite action was not taken by the student body until the close of a stormy meeting held upon the cam pus and after every phase of the sit uation had been threshed out in de tail by the most prominent and in fluential members of the undergrad uate body, graduates and others deep ly interested in the welfare of the university.

EARTHQUAKE in leic Chialpa Shaken and Badly Burned.

Only meager facts of the disaster are known and information thus far has dribbled from half a dozen places, moer or less authentic The loss of life, if any, and the financial loss is problematical. Telegraphic commu nications with Chialpa is shut off and the town is two days, on horseback from the nearest railway station.

The cor respondent at El Imparcial confirms the news of the "destruction by a quake and the fire of Chilapa.

SLIGHT CHANCE OF RECOVERY He was Found by His Son, Who Was Searching for Him After His Fail ure to Return at the Usual Hour in the Morning. NEW YORK, March 27.-In the Norwegian hospital, with slight chances of recovery, is Dominick Bugren, a Brooklyn watchman, who was found and taken to the institu tion after having lain from midnight until early morning in the bottom of a sewer trench, where he had been thrown following an attack by two masked men, who beat him and cast him unconscious into the excavation. Bugren's skull was fractured and his right arm broken, and he was badly cut on the head, neck and shoulders. When he was found he was covered with two bags of cement, on top of which bricks had been thrown. As he lost consciousness in the hospital he told the surgeons that has assail ants had demanded money, and en raged at their failure to find more than some small change on his per son, they had beaten him and pushed him into the sewer. That is the last he remembered until he was restored to. consciousness in the hos pital. He was found by his son, who had been searching for him in the vicinity after the father's failure to. return at the usual hour in the morning- POST OFFICE ROBBERS.

The fiat of dismissal has gone forth from the capitol fixing May 1 for the retirement of H. G. Van Dusen from the office of, master fish warden of Oregon. He is to be suc ceeded by H. C McAllister, a Texas Republican, of but two years resi dence in Oregon, with no familiar knowledge of the locale nor the in terests over which he is to preside. It is enough, owever, for the Governor that he is a Southern politician and for Portland that he is of that city; and, incidentally, for the Travelers' Protective Association that lie was elected from their ranks; this, by the way, being the sole recommendation as yet at hand. The despatches give no intimation of his qualificatons or the post, and a man but two short. years in the Northwest can hardly be staggering under any killing load of real knowl edge of the streams tip here and their fishes. Stranger though he be, he is supposed to be the right man to get in and solve grave technical ques tions that have torn the State almost asunder in the years of their pendency and to heal the breach, notorious and flagrant, as between the packers and fishers of the country. The situation called for a "buffer" and as Mr. Van Dusen has been worn to a frazzle in this innocuous position, he is merci fully set aside and a brand new, cushiony article is thrust into the gap. Mr. Van Dusen has been a stu dious, ardent, painstaking officer, whose chief fault was his irrespon sive attitude in the face of inspired influences, commercial, politcal and otherwise; and he is paying the pen alty of such independence, just as all men pay it who remain indifferent to the "interests." He was in a posi tion where -he was compelled to de clare and pursue a policy, and the policy fell short of the demands of the "string holders," and he is ousted to make way for something a bit more workable; and he was from Astoria. The finale is comprehensive, without a word of prelude. It is but another phase of the rank and flagrant politics in Oregon that does not stop even at thrusting the second greatest industry in the State and the Northwest into the hands of a man presumably incompetent; one result of which will be that before we know it the Columbia and its tribu taries will be fished out utterly of the game and beautiful and compensating salmon.

V NOTHING ELSE TO DO. Washington despatches bear out out the general conviction that the Democrats in Congress have nothing else to do but to pratorically grill President Roosevelt; the usual re sort of an idle, minority, over which looms the -powerful and antagonistic personality of a man they cannot phase. Every self-seeking Represen tative, and Senator uses this dear privilege when he is now rowing with his colleagues and opponents on some remoter issue, just to inspire the no tion at home that he is actually doing something; and shallow as the im position is, it works. Theodore Roosevelt is one of those men who" emerge from a very deluge of rabid rrouthingsithe cleaner for the attack, because public confidence and sentiment divests him of every atom of filth as it falls, knowing that he is true and clean at heart He is no saint, else he would not enjoy suqh immunity; but he is a straight forward, hard-headed, wise fellow, who knows what he Wants and goes after it, getting it ninety-nine times out. of a hundred, and using it right fully when it reaches him. And it may be mentioned in passing that he is still after certain things for which their is popular demand, and they have got "to come," or he and the people will know why. This, in spite of all the "bull con" the interests and their henchmen can mouth so long as he lives and holds office. Before the People Cards of Candidates in the Coming Campaign.

The cold-blooded murder of Dur ham White Stevens, the American diplomat, by a group of Koreans at San Francisco, must be taken by our people with all the seriousness it de serves as an expression of the silent hatred therewith we are regarded in Asiatic latitudes. The Koreans, so far as their innate propensities go, are but little different from the Jap anese; the same sun shines on them all, and, until a few short years ago, both kingdoms were wrapt in the same shroud of sullen silence and re moteness from things civilized. For that matter, the Korean is the safer of the two, since he has not acquired the glazing culture wherewith to hide his profounder bad qualities and will more readily permit his impulses to manifest themselves in time to forefend against his attacks; while the Jap, trained to fine expertness and sophistical subterfuge, will baffle while he does his foul work if he find8 it epedient to do any. They will all bear careful watching. To The People, p In suDmitting my name to the elec tors of the Fifth Judicial District for their consideration for the office of District Attorney of said District, desire to say that if I am nominated and elected, I will, during my term of office, honestly, vigorously and impartialy perform all the officia duties pertaining to said office, with out fear or favor, endeavoring always to accord to every individual, irre spective of party, politics or person alities, a square deal under the law, keeping always uppermost in my mind the interests of the tax payers of said District and State. E. B. TONGUE. subject of school recitation as pecul iarly an American institution. y "It cannot be found as we have it in any of the European schools," said the dean. "In England study ing is done under the personal direc tion of the master, and in Germany the -pupils learns everything by in struction. In American lessons are assigned to be learned at home, and in the recitation the pupils are quiz zed upon them. The European meth od gives the student no independence of thought By the recitation the student is put upon his own resources and develops originality and intia- tive." THE GOME AND SEE SIGN SPORTS VERSUS BRAINS. Wtihout disparaging for an instant, to any degree, the indulgence in clean sports and athletics throughout this country, and especially at its univer sities and colleges and lesser institu tions, it would seem from the roster of leaders in the Stanford scandal that the athletic bosses are in the saddle, and that they, with their fol lowing, are primarily responsible for the extreme tension and ugly achieve ment of the issues there. It begets an intangible inference that the cultivation of young muscles is dominating the culture of young brains; the latter, for want of soberer and closer training having misled their owners into depths of disorder and insubordination' for which they will be heartily sorry in days to come, The brains have the right-of-way at all schools, whatever'of pride sways the youngster in the minor pursuit of brawn; and we confess our admira tion for the courage of the faculty ,at Stanford in pressing this lesson home. The student body might as well make up its mind to the fact that EDITORIAL SALAD A Connecticut Democrat paper says "Mr. Bryan was a Populist when he started, he has never been any thing but a Populist, and never more a Populist than he is now." For par ticulars see his latest platform, hand ed down in Nebraska. All of Germany's interesting news is not conducted by private corre spondence. A giant battleship called the Nassau has just been launched, and the Kaiser watches with great satisfaction the building of several other immense warships. It is a compliment to the Repub lican National convention that its action is conceded to be subject to its own decision. The case with Mr. Bryan's convention is entirely dif ferent. Everybody knows what it will be, and only a minority care. Texas Democrats are split up into Bryan and anti-Bryan and Bailey and anli Bailey, factions. The Texas Re publicans in 1904 numbered 51,242, or about one-fourth of the total vote. They should trust in good politics and keep their powder dry. SCHOOL RECITATIONS. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 27.At the second session of the Teachers Institute held here yesterday Dean Russell of the Teachers' College, Co lumbia University, spoke upon "the This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Siem Mean It means that public Inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired, itmeans that there is nothing about the bus iness which is not open and above board." It means that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 'Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs with- out drugs? y Come and See. Do the women of America continu ally use as much of it as we are told Come and See.

Rang in an Alarm and Then Ran Back to the House. NEW YORK, 'March 27.-Two trips by a brave woman into a burn ing flat house in Borough Park .last night resulted in the rescue of five children, who, unconscious of their danger, were playing happily in a room as yet untouched by the flames, The rescuer was a stranger, Mrs, Lilla Raymond, who was passing the house when the, fire started,, rang in an alarm and then ran back to the house. She burst in the front door and dashed upstairs, finding Mrs Joseph Lock, whom she led through the. smoke to the street. Mrs. Lock then awoke to a realization that her children were still in the building, which by this time was well ablaze. Mrs. Raymond ran back into the house, up to the third floor, carried two of the little children, an older boy following her, and then-repeated the trip for two little playmates of the Lock children, who were with them when the fire broke out. The last two were half suffocated when she reached them and the dress of the younger was ablaze. Tearing it off, Mrs. Raymond got both in her arms and made tor tne stairway again. This time it was entirely ablaze, but she dashed down and reached the street just as the stair way fell. Her face and hands were badly burned, but she refused medi cal attention and went home. Al! this happened before the arrival o the firemen, who had been delayed by the poor condition of the streets, The house was entirely destroyed DAYS OF DIZZINESS. Come to Hundreds of Astoria People.

SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1508, THE MORNING ASTOH IAN. ASTOIUA, OREGQ IV Bananar.Raising;::r::; A' Great'Industry 9 To the writer and no doubt to jilany others, it has often aecmed strange that the southern continent of tlii hemisphere 1 has no little in terest for the average citizen of the United States. Occasionally article tinve appeared in the 'newspaper! and magazines which have caused a little Cutter of interest in somes quarters but the interest seems to have been fleeting. There has been much talk of Dark est Africa, and explorers galore have followed the famous Stanley and Liv ingstone into the dark recesses of that continent until I think I as safe in saying that the continent of Africa is, today better known than our own South America. I feel sure that there is no quarter of the globe that presents to the im agination so much of romantic and ncntimcntal interest and I might add mmercial Interest, as well as food or speculation in regard to the myi- tcrious. and unknown. Tales of the Spanish Main are still and no doubt will be for many years to come, full of interest to all who read or hear from them. The ex ploits of the early Spanish explorers and settlers and the depredations of the buccaneers certainly furnish enough of romance and tragedy to satisfy the most exacting. One surely cannot read of ihe mag nificent Spanish dream of a great empire in the New Yorld without a thrill of admiration mixed with a good deal of horror at their methods of founding it.' Their ruthless de struction of a civilization, which was in some respects at least, even su perior to their own, always rouses more or less indignation. Still, after all, there is a tinge of sadness mingled with our indignation when we think of the rapid decadence of the dream, which has perhaps only been equaled by the dccarcnce of the power and influence ot the mother country itself. f Of the origin and history of the early civilization, existing when the Spaniards came, we know little or nothing and there seems to be very little prospect of learning more. Even of the actual present habitants of many parts of the continent we know almost as little. We are familiar to some extent with a narrow belt along the coast of the oldest of the Spanish American settlements, tne may find within an hour s walk or ride, almost primeva idrchti where there is no sign humaa s lnhabitants( much less, civi lizatlon, and the villages of mud and thatch whose inhabitants are almost pure Indians, Although they speak the Spanish language, A few hour's rule up the Sierre mountains takes one into a practically uninhabited wilderness where the tropical jungtc is so dense that the path must be cut most of the way even for a mule train. T I .1 m s reacning me wilderness one travels most of the way over a wild trail cit along the sides of the moun tains, passing at long Intervals, lonely coffee plantations. These are soon passed and the only signs of human life, past or present, are the old In- dian Aztec roads made by laying boulders in rows with their flat sides up, usually two rows of large ones with a row of smaller ones on either side. And all of this within a day's laborious ride up the mountain. I hen what lies within the vast stretches beyond? Of course, the country, on all sides has been penetrated to some distance in a desultory way, but how does the world at large know of it? Scientists from the great museums have made some long trips up the Magdalcna, the Orinoco and the Am azon rivers and of the country along the latter considerable has been writ ten. The report comes from the upper stretches of the Orinoco of the vast table land having great fertility and fine climate, teeming with a wealth of plant and animal life, but this is a re port made from a bare book at the edge of the mysterious unknown country beyond, through which prob ably no white man has passed and emerged alive. bavage beasts, savage men, and deadly fevers have all conspired to curtail the knowledge that has come to the outer world. As-the population of the world in creases, these great garden spots must sooner or later be opened tip and connected with the rest of the world by modern methods of trans portation. This the United Fruit Company has been quietly doing along the and a little of the territory along the 'coast of the Caribbean Sea for a navigable rivers, but I think few real izc how narrow this belt is. It was the writer's privilege to spend a few weeks along the coast of Colombia just at the close of the late civil war in that country, and there is very little here that we are famil- number of years and system has been developed whose magnitude few un rcdstand. Stations have been established from San Marta, Colombia, to Blueficlds, Nicaragua and there are important shipping points at Santa Marta, iaf with as twentieth ccntuary civi-, Colon, Boca del Toro, Tort Limon, lization and culture. Even in the j Grey town, and Blucfields and "I do neighborhood of Santa Marta, one of not know how many more places.

Perhaps Limon, Costa Rica fs a good example and this has been changed from a little adobe and thatch tropical mudholc, with aw ful health conditions to a clean, mod ern flourishing town, with a small park which is the most beautiful I have'ever seen.'" 12:''''',''' The United Fruit Company's prin cipal industry is of course, raising and shipping bananas, although they handle some other fruit and I think that this' industry which is destined for many years to come,' to be the leading one in that climate. The market for their suit in ihe United States seems to be almost unlimited, and the amount of the fruit consumed is only limited by the supply and price. Some years ago while going from New York to Colombia. I made the acquaintance of Don Quiros, a wealthy Spaniard from San Jose, Costa Rica, who had very large in terests in that city and the surround ing country. Among other things, he owned a banana plantation from which he was shipping about, five thousand bunches of bananas a week to New York upon the boats of the United Fruit Company. v He told me that some years he had cleared above all expenses, as hisrh as seventy per cent, of the original investment. A profit of from thirty -to fifty per cent, is not at all uncom mon.' Large profits are made along the coast of Colombia where irrigation is depended upon, but the Isthmian and Central American climate, where there is sufficient rain fall, is better. The amount of this fruit that is shipped to the United States is almost inconceivcable. Ships carrying from ten to thirty thousand bunches are anding daily at New Orleans, Mo- Me, I'hiladclphia, New York and Boston. From their farms at Bocas del Toro alone, the United Fruit Company is shipping three or four such cargoes a week. There are perhaps few great in dustries, especially in agricultural lines, about which the general public knows so little as that of raising bananas. Many have a vague mental picture of a grove of trees which live year after year and bear bunch after bunch of bananas, and we often hear the desire expressed to see the fruit ripening upon the trees and to taste the luscious fruit that had riepned as nature intended. In fact, it is con sidered the unpardonable sin to al low iwiH'iw.lw.twiwMwiwliM 7 r f Ilr t lr n .iiiimum.,!!,,,,,.,-..-,., ..i ...i- n irinMi.,,i,l,M,iihi ..mil iTTrmrrfriui:.,. m.ftna.w-r"yi in lnOTuniiririwnn-ritr'lfiiit i:inrfTlrwiIi."iM.

PEKIN, Mar. 27, Sir Robert Hart, who is returning to England after many years at the head of the Chines maritime customs, was received in farewell audience yesterday by, the Emporor and the Dowager Empress of China. Sir Robert has been fully 54 years in the service of the Chinese irovernment. The audience was of o unusual duration; The empress cor dially thanked Sir Robert for his ser vices to the country and made him a number of gifts. The emporor also manifested his appreciation.

The bulb lives and throws out new shoots or suckers from time to time and often when the bananas are ready to cut from one shoot, another froni the same bulk will be growing up and perhaps in bloom. After the bananas are cut the shoot is cut down and rots upon the ground. The process of planting a new ba nana grove is, I am sure, quite differ-, ent from what most people imagine. Low, rich soil is usually chosen and this in the tropics is always cov ered with a dense growth of timber. Good banana land can be purchased for very little, but it costs a good deal more to prepare and plant an acre than the original cost of the land. First a gang of men is sent though with mochettas to cut the rank under growth which unsally grows so thick that it seems as if a rabbit could scarcely force his way through. 'After the undergrowth has been cut down gang of laborers fpllow to do the planting. The banana bulbs are cut into pieces called "bits," each "bit' containing one eye or sprout, the process being similar, in a way, to the cutting of seed potatoes. These "bits" are planted in rows much like a voting orchard and then the remainder of e amerent patterns. jtiUiw-U is the forest is cut down and allowed to t sdld by all good grocers at 10c. per rackage.

A certain well-known Salem lad, who shall be be nameless, but who is one of the suspended seniors of Stanford, and one of the two Oregon boys mixed up in the trouble down there, was always a live and inter esting chap, and in his callower years performed a little stunt that -made his town laugh heartily. His highly respected father is a staunch Demo crat and a physician of note in Ore gon, and always took the lead in pub lic events that had to do with that party. Some years ago a distin guished orator of that persuasion was billed fur Salem, and the Armory was chosen as the place for holding the meeting on .account of its size, the local committee having anticipated a large crowd und were not disappoint ed. The question as to who should introduce the brilliant speaker to his Salem auditors had been solved dur ing the day by the choosing of this youngster as a unique and acceptable departure from stilted custom, and at the appointed hour the crowd, the committee, the orator, the platform guests and the bright lad, were all present, and at the close of the music furnished by the band the boyish sponsor stepped to the front and in the clear treble of excited and inter ested boyhood began, his neat little speech of introduction. All hands were pleased at the clever bit of work c" one, and he was interrupted repeat edly in his (supposedly) brief ad- Hill Bros.

Working and Repairing The immense plant of the North Pacific Brewing Company, on East Exchange street, is stil the scene of a big line of repairs incident to the late fire that raged there. The plant is in full operation, despite the fact that carpenters, plumbers and ma chine men are swarming all over it, and the company is using a number of expedients in the necessitous ele ments of its manufacturing which, while they are crude and expensive, serve their purpose excellently until the regular methods and appliances may be resorted to. It will be some weeks, before the engines, main and auxilliary, will be in full service, and the ereat vats on the upper floors are kept cool by huge masses of ice blocked up all around them, vice the fine refrigerating plant now off duty as a result of the recent blaze.

St. Aldemar Commandery No. 11, Grand Commandery of Knights Tem plar, of Oregon, was instituted in this city yesterday, the warrant for its organization having been issued to Dr. Jay Tuttlc, Rccs Thompson and If.

The beautiful and profoundly in structive ritualistic work incident to the investiture of these eminent de grees in Masonry, is always confided to the hands of the Grand Command cr of the State and his staff of grand officers, and in obedience to his law there arrived in this city on the noon express yesterday the following named gentlemen constituting that distinguished body, to wit: Frank J.

Mason and L. C. Marshall, Fast Grand Commanders, and Frederick Wcath erford, Templar Errant. There has been a group (now num bering in the neighborhood of twen ty) forming for some time in this behalf, in this city, and these gentle men had perfected all the necessary rrangements for the important occa sion, including the leasing of what will be known in the future as "Com mandery Hall," the large and hand some quarters over the store of Her man Wise, and in that sanctuary the work of the day was done yesterday tternoon and evening, a superb ban quet supper being served the grand officers and the noviates between the two services of the day.

St. Aldemar's official roster is as follows: Eminent Commanded Jay Tuttlc. Generalissimo Recs Thomas. Captain General O. I. Peterson.

It is probably the largest document of the sort filed this year.

It is not a very far cry from Charles Dickens to melodrama when you come to think of it, and there need be no surprise consequently upon the announcement that "What Women Will Do," which comes to the Astoria theater Sunday, March 29, is based upon the story of David Copperfield. Wilkins-Micawber, Rosa Dottle, Emily, Peggotty and Uriah Heap will be the leading characters. The play as announced is one of the novelties of the season, possessing both strength and interest. ,The scenic effects are elaborate in the extreme. The comedy element in troduced by the Micawber family, es pecially the two oldest children, Wil kins, Jr., and Ella, is excruciatingly funny, and elicits applause of laugh ter at every performance. "THE BURGOMASTER." Gus Weinburg and dainty Ruth White will head the big revival of "The Burgomaster," which William P .Cullen wil present tonight at the Astoria theater. These, two clever people are the originals in the roles of Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of New Amsterdam, who sleeps for '200 years and awakes to find himeslf in modern New York, and ot Wiuie, the gilded youth, who essays to BE show him around the town. The cos tumes for the revival are' all new, and are the handsomest, it is said, of any comic opera now touring. The scenery is all new, some of the scenes having been changed. "The Burgo master" was the first of the Pixley and Luder's popular successes to gain favor. It is in a class with Robin Hood" and "The Prince of Pilsen' for tunefulness and many of the num bers have come to be known as clas sic- "The Tale of the Kangaroo," "I Love You," the famous Indian chorus, the Rainy Daisies, and other songs have a lilt that sends the audi tor from the theater whistling mer rily. Miss White has written a new song which experts claim will be a large seller. It is entitled "How Many Have You Told That To?" The chorus, which is a very large one, has been selected especially for its singing and dancing ability. Mr. Cullen will be remembered as the producer of "The Burgomaster" and "The Tenderfoot."

It seems a great pity at first to see some of the magnificent trees root- ting on the ground when they appar cntly have in them great possibilities as lumber, but the fact is, most of the tropical trees are almost useless in that climate as lumber, and great trees, five or six feet in diameter will almost completely rot away, in xtwo or three years while the smallest growth will not last one. The young banana plants sprout and make their way up through this fallen tangle as best they can. Of course, some of the "bits" neved sprout and after the young plants show well a gang of laborers go through and fill in the vacant places by planting suckers which have start ed at the base of older plants much as they do around the sugar cane stalks in our southern states.

Musical started, but after the banana growth is once well started it is jq dense ..that it completely shades the land and almost discourages the growth of anything else.5' 't --p When the, banana growth becomes well established it requires very little in the way of cultivation and care. A banana plant begins to bear in from one year to fifteen months after planting,, but does not reach its max imum bearing power for two or thre years. An acre of bananas will yield from one to two hundred bunches of fruit a year. Perhaps one hundred and fifty is a fair average although there are many plantations that do better than this average. At Port Limon the small planters who are shipping through the United Fruit Company, were getting twenty, twenty-five and thirty cents per bunch for their fruit, delivered to the Fruit Company's cars or boats. If the average yield is one hundred and fifty bunches and the average price per bunch is twenty-five cents, it is easy to see that the planter selling thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents' worth of bananas per acre is getting far more than the" average for the best farming land in the United States for any crop that requires any thing like the small care. The land is worth from five to twenty dollars per acre and if the clearing and plant ing costs fifty dollars more it still looks like an excellent investment The bananas arc cut when from two-thirds to three-quarters grown and at that time they are very hard and can be handled much like cord wood. Two men with machettas do the cutting while a third with a mule carries the fruit to the tracks or boat landing. Four bunches at a time are slung across the back of the mule with canvas or burlap slings. There are three common methods of loading the ships. Where there is a good wharf and the trade is not very large the bananas are carried abroad by laborers, who march in an unbroken line, each man with a bunch upon his shoulders, up one gang plank delivering the fruit to a "man who passes it into the hold, and down another to receive another bunch, and so they pass in endless proces sion until the cargo is complete. In places like Bocas del Toro where the ships must be loaded in the har bor away from the wharf, the fruit is brought along side in lighters and is handed abroad from them. At the larger shipping places where the wharfage is favorable, a steam loader is used. This consists of a long endlesa belt upon a frame reach ing from the wharf to the deck of the ship. The line of men carry the fruit from the cars or trucks and place it upon the moving belt which con veys it to trie deck. I have seen a cargo of twenty thousand bunches loaded with the help of two of those machines in eight hours. The fifteen thousand acres banana farm of the United Fruit Company, with its forty miles of railroad track, thirty or forty gasoline launches used for towing the lighters to the sloops, is a sight worth going a long way to see and the trip up the Changuinola river which is lined for fourteen miles with the magnificent growth of bananas is one to be long remembered. Some idea of, the amount of this fruit that is shipped to the States may be had from the fact that the present output from Limon is about million bunches a year and from Bocas del Toro about nine hundred thousand. Santa Marta, which a few years ago was shipping a small cargo once in two weeks, now ships at least a full ship load each week. Large quantities of the fruit are shipped from Jamaica and nearly every port on the "Spanish Main" sends its quota, still the market is far from glutted and there is still plenty j of room for this great industry.

Eggs today were fairly firm at 15c to 16c and the demand in the North is sufficient to take all that are ont wanted here. Storage opera tions have amounted to little as yet. Poultry cleans up well, but receipts for the week have been light, and this is true also of veal, pork and mutton. There were no material changes in prices on country produce today.

No Use to Die. "I have found out that there is no use to die of lung trouble as long as you can get Dr. King's New Dis covery," says Mrs. J. P. White, of Rushboro, Pa. "I would not be alive today only for that wonderful medi cine. It loosens up a tough quicker than anything else, and cures lung diesase even after the case is pro nounced hopeless." This most reliable remedy for coughs and colds, la grippe, asthma, bronchitis and hoarse ness, is sold under guarantee at Chas. Rogers Son's drug store 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. This is Worth Remembering Whenever you have a cough or cold, just remember that Foley's Honey and Tar will cure it Do not risk your health by taking any but the genuine. It is in a yellow pack age.
