ANOTHER BIG FIRM GOES DOWN Bottom Has Not Yet Been Reached and There Are Fears of a Pan is, London, Aug. 6. —Absolute stagna tion in the stock market has resulted from anxiety regarding the New York markets. New York, Aug. 6.—The stock mar ket opened nervous and unsettled. There was no evidence of support in a number of standard railway issues. was severe pressure on some stocks. There is a general feeling that the end of the crisis has not been reached. The market was erratic but showed signs of recovery within the first half hour.

EMPLOYERS' UNION OF NATIONAL SCOPE Is Being Formed to Resist the Aggres sions of Organized Labor. New York, Aug. 6—No effort is be ing made to disguise the activity with which plans are being completed for the formation, with headquarters in New York, of a National Employers' association, whose purpose will be to protect the interests of employers, great and small, against suffering 'hrough the unreasonable demands of organized labor. The association will when rounded out. include all the great manufacturers of the country, the railroads, great retail interests and the majority of banking institutions. Nearly all existing organizations, local in scope but with the same object in view, will be affiliated with the na tional body. The recent meeting of a few lead ing employers at Indianapolis was a move in the direction of a national as sociation, although it did not furnish the directing power. The proposed or ganization will represent the ideas of no individual, but the conservative be liefs of employers throughout the United States. The movement may be said to have had its inception with the National Manufacturers' associa tion, but in the new organization the manufacturers' association will be but a small part of the whole. It has practically been decided that the national association shall work on these basic principles: Freedom of contract; that is. no dication by labor unions. No sympathy strikes to be tolerated. No limitation of output. Enforcement of law. Those who are directing the move ment in its early stages say that ex perience has shown the above plat form the only one on which the em ployers can profitably do business. The purpose of the association will not be to fight organized labor, but solely to protect business interests. Arbitration will not be opposed, neith er will it be an integral factor in the workings of tke national body. For Governor of Mississippi- Jackson. Miss.. Aug. 6. A state pri mary election is b-ing held in Missis sippi today and the result is awaited with keen interest on all sides owing to its bearing on the race for the United States senatorship.

USED EOR BREWING PURPOSES Top Price Is Paid for the Entire Lot to Discomfiture of Portland Buyers. The largest deal ever transacted in grain circles in Dayton, was pushed through Monday and Tuesday when 300,000 sacks of barley were contract ed for by local buyers at $1 per hun dred, says yesterday's Dayton Dis patch. The contractors call for Al brewing barley, free from stain and subject to inspection. This is over two-thirds of the barley output of this section, which practically means two thinls of the brewing barley raised in the state, as Dayton is the center of the largest barley growing section in Washington. Jacob Weinhard, proprietor of the Dayton Malt house, is the buyer. He has purchased the barley as a specula tion and will hold it. The price paid i's about 25 cents bet ter than has ever been offered before at this time of the year. The con tracts are being made direct with the farmers, the barley to be delivered as soon as threshed. It is expected the end of the week will see the barley commencing to come into the ware houses. The deal will mean the ex penditure of about $350,000 in Dayton lor barley alone, taking into consid eration the expenses of handling. Local grain men say the price paid is about 17% cents better than the market will stand at present but they The coupon contest Is on. Get in early. It is for you. Read the ads in the Statesman.

Along the Dolores river in south western Colorado there is a buried city or its remains, and Major E. H. Cooper, the "Cliff-Dweller Man," has left Denver, for a careful investiga tion of this long-forgotten abiding place of a long forgotten people. "Last summer when I was pursuing my investigations into the history of the ancint peoples I stumbled over this buried city," said Major Cooper, "and marked it out and carefully cov ered over the parts that were visible until this summer, when I should have time to explore it fully. "What I shall find I have not the re motest The city lies in the wil derness and only traces of walls were visible. I did some explorations last summer, and found that the walls went down into the earth and I could tracf them for some distance. In the vicinity I found similar evidences of a buried city, and I am fully convince.! that a thorough exploration will bring out some interesting facts relating to the early peoples of this continent. In Utah and Arizona. "There are evidences of buried cit ies in Utah and Arizona, and as soon as I have made satisfactory progress in the city along the Dolores river I shall go to Utah and Arizona to con tinue my investigations. I can not proceed far, as I must go to New York for a course of lectures in the public schools, covering five days a week for ten weeks, or fifty lec tures. "In all probability these buried cities are the homes of that mysterious peo ple commonly designated as the "Clff dwellers," said Major Cooper. "They were as indigenous to this country as the peoples are to any country. They were far advanced for their time in the arts and sciences, grow ing grain, having irrigating systems, raising cotton and making cloth. However, they knew nothing of metals as we find no metaj whatever among their ruins. "The Toltecs and Aztecs and proba bly the ancient Peruvians wore off shoots of those people, but the tndian s were not. The Moqui Indians may possibly be the descendants. The Tol tecs reached the apex of civilization of their time. Their temples show this. Mysteriously they disappeared, and then came in old Mexico of today the warlike Aztecs, that had a high degree of civilization in the time of Montezuma, when Cortez conquered them. Driven From the Plains. "The Toltecs and the Aztecs came down from the north. They were the offshoots of the people we call the 'Cliff-dwellers,' forced to migrate by the warring tribes that invaded their country in what today is southwestern Colorado. The Mound-builders are another offshoot "Originally the 'Cliff-dwellers' were a plains people. They built their cit ies, raised grain and cotton, and were an agricultural and progressive peo ple. Then the ancestors of the Nava joes came in from the north, seeking a warmer climate, and eventually drove them to refuge in the cliffs. As time passed, they migrated, and from ihem come the Toltecs. Aztecs, Mound-builders, and probably others. "These ancient, people, ages ago, left their plains homes, and time has these cities over, and these are the ones I now propose to inves i igate. "That the tribes that caused this >xodus came from the north is legend, md among the Navajoes is a tradi ion that their ancestors crossed a >ody of water. Originally they came rom the Japanese race of today. "If money was spent as it should >c. in southwestern Colorado would >c found ancient remains as remark- MEN AvO WOMEN.

At no time, be says, are they more vicious than when tney pretend to be acting as friend ly organs, voicing his views. Both these papers have lately been exploiting Senators Fairbanks and Hanna as vice presidential possibili ties. To President Roosevelt the pur. pose is manifest. Many private owners of forest lands are becoming interested in the work of the government's forestry division, under Gifford Pinchot. and tracts are being offered for experiment and ap plication of scientific methods. One of the most recent instances of this sort is the fender by .ur. William H. Bartlett of Chicago of his 210,000-acre preserve in Northern New Mexico for the purpose. A party of four men un der Austin F. Hawes of the Yale for estry school will be occupied during the summer mapping the tract and studying its needs. Nearly all the timber has been cut off his land, ami Mr. Bartlett's purpose is to secure the best second growth which may be had. The city of Baltimore is out after the national conventions to be held next year. Citizens' committees have been appointed and the local news papers have cut loose, and there are all kinds of things doing. It is point ed out that Baltimore has not had a convention since the early sixties. Ample hotel facilities, adequate tele graph wires and good halls are prom ised if the national committees will send the conventions to them. The climate is not so bad as at St. Louis, it is alleged, and there are better ho tels, and there will be less crowds. '1 ne managers always have Chicago in mind as a convention city. It ai>- pears to be almost ideal for such pur poses, but inducements may take the convention elsewhere. San Francis co i's again anxious to secure one or both of the conventions. As a puller of street cars the horse hass about passed out. The census fig ures just completed show that only 1.1 per cent are operated by animal power. A SHINING EXAMPLE RECEIVER EASTHAJI Pays All Obligations of Broken Bank at Vancouver in Contrast With Edmiston's Bank. Vancouver. Wash.—Receiver A. B. Eastham, of the defunct First Nation al bank, has paid off mo?t all thp claims or. the bank at 100 cents on the dollar. Some checks are held yet for the creditors. There are yet a few assets to realize on, and the sum realized wil] be used to pay interest to dei>ositors in the bank, which failed in April, 1901. The speedy and most satisfactory settlement of the outstanding liabili ties amounting to about $4A.000 more than the assets has won for Receiver Eastham much praise. The receiver ship has been quite inexpensive and the payments on the claims made with promptness. Not a creditor lost a dollar, though this was considered one of the worst bank failures fn the history of the state at the time. The stockholders have settled the assessments levied against them without litigation. The receiver has not commenced an ac tion at law in a single case, which makes the settlement of affairs more creditable. Within sixty days the affairs of the bank will be wound up entirely.

Judge Townsend, of Dallas, Or., who has been more or less insane for some time past, escaped from his guard at Dallas about 10 o'clock Sunday night and walked in his nightrobe across the country from Dallas to Dayton, a distance of 28 miles, arriving at 7 o'clock next morning. On his way Judge Townsend stopp ed at Wallace Goodrich's house, some distance out of Dayton, where he found a bicycle, which he rode to the house of Mrs. Cain, near Dayton. There he was recognized and taken to the court house at Dayton and cared for. He is in a pitable condi tion of body and mind. His legs are so swollen as to make it hard to cover them with large-sized overalls, and his feet are enlarged and bruised in a terrible manner. Judge Town send is a very heavy man. weighing upwards of 200 pounds, and it is thought that his terrible night's expe rience may prove fatal, especially as the night was cold. Judge Townsend was Bryan's right hand man and stump speaker for Ore gon, and also democratic delegate to the Chicago convention that nominat ed Bryan. He was one of the ablest lawyers in this state and prosecuting attorney for Polk county. He will be taken home this evening by train. "What profession do you intend to have your son take up after he gets through college?" -I did think of having him become an architect, but I've changed my mind.

While lynch law is to be deplore,', at all times because it is a defiance of organized government and is there fore a species of anarchy, there are some extenuating features in the Asotin county case. A young, trusting and innocent thirteen-year-old girl, the daughter of Sheriff Richards, one of the most honored and respected citizens of Asotin county, while on her way through the woods to Sunday school at a country church some dis tance from a summer camping ground, was waylaid by a moral degenerate, a beast in human form, who, after out raging her. beat her brains out with a club and threw her body into the bushes in the hope of concealing his crime. Such a monster as that in the semblance of a human being had no right to live. The laws of our state properly administered would have de creed his speedy death, but there comes the rub. Justice often miscar ries and the Asotin county people had a recent proof that murderers are not sure of punishment at the hands of juries. At Pomeroy, in the adjoining county of Garfield only a few weeks ago a woman who had brutally mur dered her husband while he slept and then concealed his body in a potato hole thirty feet from his bedroom win dow, where it was discovered by offi cers of the law several months after wards, was acquitted on the plea of self-defense. The woman confessed the killing but when placed on the witness stand told a story of having been attacked by her husband and of having turned upon him with an ax, striking the fatal blow just as he was leveling a gun at her. No intel ligent citizen of Garfield or Asotin county, where the murdered man and the woman were well known, be lieved this story. The woman had not only attempted to conceal the crime by buryrng the body of her victim in the dooryard. but she had written let ters to his sister in Honolulu asking the latter to tell that her brother had died on shipboard on the way to that city from San Francisco. This mur deress unquestionably deserved hang ing, but instead she got an acquittal from a jury of twelve men supposed to be possessed or ordinary judgment and common sense. The woman knew the state of public sentiment and she lost no time in shaking the dust of Garfield county from her feet, her val uable farm probably going to her at torneys as the price of her acquittal. It is no wonder in the face of such an outcageous verdict as this that the Beautiful Line of Solid Gold and Gold Filled Watches for Ladies, Martin Jewelry Company. Eyes Tested Free at Martin's Optical Parlors. people of that section of the state have lost faith in courts and juries. Lynch in gs all over the United States are due principally to the same cause. Crimi nals of the deepest dye get off with nominal sentences or go scot free through the delays and the technicali ties of the law or possibly through the venality cf judges and juries. In many instances men sit on the bench who were placed there not because of their ability, integrity and learning, but because corrupt men wished to use them as tools and manipulated nominating conventions to that end. The remedy is to emancipate the judic iary of this country from the control of politicians. A non-partisan judic iary would be more likely to have the manhood, the honor and the courage to administer justice fairly and speed ily. We cannot complain of lynch law so long as it is invoked as a remedy for the manifest shortcomings and flag rant misdoings of duly elected courts and juries under the laws of organized society. STATE'S MONEY INCLUDED. It is worth noting that the $5,329.75 due the state on liquor licenses and ordered paid by the city council Tues day night was Included in the annual reports of the city clerk and the city treasurer as a part of the city's rev enues, thus making a more favorable financial showing for the administra tion. After it had served that purpose it was ordered turned over to the state treasurer. The city treasurer's report for the fiscal year ending June 30th showed a cash balance on hand of $3,280.86. This was offset by the amount of war rants outstanding issued sihee Jan uary 1. If we take into account the $5,329.75 due the state as fts ten per cent of liquor licenses for two years, the treasurer's report would in fact have shown a deficit of about that amount. As the city last year had to spend and did spend about $50,000 more than two years before, the financial show ing made for the last fiscal year is hardly a matter for much felicitation on the part of taxpayers. ON THE RIGHT TRACK. Mayor Hunt is on the right track when he suggests that a competent hydraulic engineer be engaged by the city to investigate a water supply for the gravity system. The Statesman for the last two years has been urging the employment of such an engineer to direct development work instead of having it done in a hit or miss fashion by such men as Worley, with no ex pert knowledge of such work. The city has never yet had scientific meas urement of the flow of water develop ed at Thomas springs nor any expert opinion on the amount of water avail able on the Thomas ranch under the city's right to all the subterranean water that exists there. The city has expended over twelve thousand dol lars in development work at the springs, but how much water it has to show for its money is still an unset tled question. It has been intimated that the water flowing in the city's pipes can be shut off at any time by the employment of some mysterious mechanism connected with the pipes and also with irrigation ditches. A competent engineer could probably locate the seat of the trouble and take steps to prevent its recurrence. COMMISSIONERS STAND PAT. It is re]>orted that the county com missioners have about decided to make the assessment of bank stock the same as it was last year in spite of the new law passed by the last leg islature allowing banks to fix their own assessments, a species of class legislation plainly unconstitutional. The commissioners are fully justified in thi's decision, and to be consistent they could not do otherwise. The assessment this year should have been made under the general rev enue law which provides that values shall be taken as they existed or THE EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1903. jßgr Coffee mf Represents the highest MBKIIa A standard of excellence in mm B 1 cereal coffee products.

The new law did not go into effect until March 3d and, therefore, could not affect this year's assess ments. If the valuation placed on bank stock was right last year, the same valuation is riglu this year, and the commissioners by restoring it to the old figures strengthen their case in fighting the suit brought by the First National Bank to prevent the collection of last year's tax, including the five-mill school tax. The Statesman has said some things in criticism of the official doings of the board of county commissioners, but in this case, if their purpose is correctly represented, it 'can heartily commend their consistency and cour age. WEAKENED PATRIOTISM. Mr. Cleveland affirms that patriot ism is not dead, but is still able to foster and bless the best American citizenship "But." he asks, "is there not reason to fear that is is so weak ened among those enlisted in the con tentions between employers and the employed that they are either uncon scious of its restraints or seek to avoid its exactions by giving lodgment to th c deluding notion that their quarrels do not concern the general good?" The suggestion is worth considering, and in a broader application thar. that which Mr. Cleveland makes. May it not be applied generally tc dis turbing or disorderly forces, whether in the industrial or the governmental sphere, and to elements which hob! individual concerns above considera tions of public or national welfare? Where, for instance, in the present political leadership of the nation. is there evidence of that higher patriot ism which is able to foster and bless the best American citizenship? In the administration of America's govern ment, conducted with the dominant purpose of perpetuating party rule, a profit-sharing officialism allied with, and largely submissive to interests in imical to industrial and economic wel fare, higher patriotism or any patri otism worthy the nam*? finds no place. That which is mistaken for patriot ism is too often bombast and gunpow der and hurrah. It is a something par taking of noisy and insincere tribute to a former patriotism. The patriot ism of today, the patriotism of peace, love of country for country's and not merely for war's sake, is too little of a faith and not enough of a principle. Conviction and conflict on principle, forced into municipal and national ad ministration and industrial affairs, would speedily bring relief from the nation's great and imminent evils.

"Wasn't she the girl who wore so much open work?" asked the interest ed listener. "Yes." "Then Richun got her for a million, net, didn't he?" It took the interested listener twen ty minutes to make the knowing per son grasp the idea. Life without hope is like a house without a roof. AMERICANS WON ON BLUFF. War Between Puget Sound Salmon Canners Is Ended. Vancouver. B. C—The war between the salmon canners of British Colum bia and the State of Washington is over almost before it started. Super intendent D. N. McMillan, of the Pa cific Packing Navigation company's traps, came over from Fairhaven, ran a great big bluff, and within 24 hours the canners here had sought a con ference and had given in. The drawback on the duty allowed the Americans to buy fish in Cana adian waters and Captain McMillan went down the river in a lanuch in forming all the fishermen he met that he was willing to pay a higher price than the British Columbia canners. At first the Canadian cannerymen on the Praser are using boats and gear belonging to the Toronto com bine, and hence could not sell to out side parties. As, however, there was a chance that the Americans would, supply boats and gear—a very remote contingency—they decided to call a conference. Captain McMillan'?; bluff worked tnd the threatened "American invasion" is off. The war was started the Americans claim, be cause the local canners broke the agreement not to pay more than 12% cents a fish. As tiie matter of fact the fishermen on the Fraser river would not fish for less than 14 cents a salmon and the run has been so poor that some cannerymen bought from fishermen on the other side of the line and in sonic cases had to pay as high as 18 cents a fish. The run is improving. TO OPEN THE COLUMBIA Proposed that a Mass Meeting Be Held at The Dalles. August 4. 571 East Morrison street, Portland. Oregon. Dear Sir: I am. and those with me. are very much in earnest in the movement now being made to open the Columbia river to unobstructed navigation but we can do but little unless we have the co-operation of the press and people of the Inland Empire. To that end I write you. We propose that a covention shall be held soon, say in October, at The Dalles, or some other convenient point, to discuss the whole question and awake public in terest in it. The questionsi with re gard to yourself and your city are: Can you co-operate with us and are you willing to do it? How do you think and feel about it? From indica tions all around, now is the time to move and a well-attended, spirited convention would give the great work we all have at heart a grand im petus. We, here have no special in terest to serve —no axes to grind. We believe this greatest of rivers should be improved so that there may be an obstructed outlet to the ocean, and that is the consideration that moves us to action, and we hope to have your co-operation and help in the measures that will be necessary to bring the desired end around. The Oregonian of last Saturday had an item from me, on this subject to which permit me to call your atten tion. We will be glad to hear from you on this entire subject and will carefully consider any suggestion you may feel moved to make. Respectfully yours, LEVI W. MYERS.

HARD LOT FOR TIIE POOR II THE HOLY LAM) A Story Told by Assyrians Now Dwell ing in This Country of Former Hardships. A door opened and a bunch of mer ry-faced brown-skinned children rush ed out. All about seemed desolate. The houses were small, so dingy, no grass, nothing but rocks and bare earth. But the children with their merry, brown eyes and tousled hair softened the picture and made life in such surroundings a possible endur ance. On entering the house a group of women stood around a bed on which lay a woman and a little babe. She was brown-skinned, too. and had a pair of soft brown eyes with hope yet shining from their depths. On the far,, was an impress of the pain so lately endured, but the pallor seemed to add a new beauty to the mother as she folded the litte one to hen> heart. There, too. was the husband and father who said in every line of his strong body that he was one of the toilers, but one who finds joy in the seemingly narrow places which to him is life. From Birthplace of Christianity. This was a family of the holy land. They had come all the way from the land where Christ had been born and where He taught the truths on which Christianity was builded. "You want to know about the way my people live in Syria? They are poor very poor. Some of them are rich, but only a few. These own land and we rent only an acre or two; some don't have that much. The tax es are high and wages small. Men work for 4 cents a day and sometimes we cannot collect even that; glad to get H of the 4 cents for a whole daYs work. They board themselves while doing this work. Womans Hard Lot Women do a big washing "ther c for cents, n takes all day. And they work in hotels and houses, do all the work at $1.50 a month. "No woman gets more wages in Syr ia, and she has no chance there to live right. "Men, women and children have tc live mostly on raw onions and bread made of cheap flour. No teas, no cof fee —a little wine, only to drink. "There are no schools for the poor, only a few children go to school and they are under the Catholic church. A man is hired to teach there at the rate of $3 per month and board him self. Not much taught in the schools but catechism, and read and write. Poor know not how to read. "There is a mission house in town where 4oi> priests live and no woman ever enters. Even a hen cannot pass the line where women must stop. No, there is no one who stops them, but there is something in the air that keeps them from crossing a certain point A rooster or a man can go in the place, but never a hen or a wo man. Miracle of th e Mission. "This mission house is noted all over the world because every insane person taken within its gates and left a few days is cured and come out well. Over the gate is a cross with a picture of Jesus on it and insane per sons cannot enter under the cross. They must be taken through a tunnel and left with the priests* then in a few days they come out under the cross all right. 1 have seen persons brought there from many countries in Europe to be cured. Yes, the Mo hammerans go there to be cured. That misson is the only one in Syria they are afraid of, and will not fight and kill. "No. I do not want to live in Syria again; neither does my wife. We are glad to be in Butte. Good living, good people here. Kind and tree. Here we make money and send our child ren to school. I like this country. "How did I get money to come? One man came to this country 20 years ago. He peddled, made money then came back to Syria. He loaned money to young men to come here; it took $S5 to get to Butte. We pay him back four times. He gets a place for us and we contract to work until that all paid back. No, the law in our country say we must pay, so we pay. We are glad to be in this THC CVENINft 91 ATBAMAN, THURSDAY, AU*UST d, H«fc country and do not kick about pay ing. Are Not Miners "No, we do not work in the mines. The Syrians are afraid to go under ground we go crazy in our country if we go down in the oarth. So we work around peddlp, clean streets and keep store. "But the Syrians are a hospitable people and never make any charge for accommodating the stranger. He is welcome to al] the home offers. And they maintain a house in which poor pilgrims are cared for free of charge. This house stands near the famous trees where Jesus preached to the peo ple. These trees are as large as this room and are so many that when one great warrior put 90,000 soldiers to count them they could not do so. "Do I want to go back? No. thanks. I am happy here with my wife and little children'"—and his kindly face reflected the thought within. —Butte Inter Mountain. MRS. DOUGLAS IS CLEARED. Husband Gets Divorce, as Asked, But Wife Will Retain Control of Two Children. Seattle. —Superior Judge Morris granted the petition of H. D. Douglas for a divorce from Mrs. Mabel Doug las. When granted the husband a de cree on the ground of incompatibility of temper. Judge Morris took occa sion to remark that there had not been produced a scintilla of evidence in support of the charge of miscon duct brought by the plaintiff against his wife. The court considered that certain letters written by the plaintiff, and others addressed to her, which had been produced in court, were very indiscreet, but that they did not con tain any evidence of guilt. He ac cordingly granted the husband a de cree on the third cause of action raised in his complaint, namely, in compatibility, but he awardeed the custody of the children of the mar riage to the defendant, ordering Mr. Douglas to pay $15 a month towards their support. o a. *z* si. a: .3.. Searb the iHB Kmd VC'J H»Vfl AiftSyS BfIPP LAW m RETROACTIVE TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES Granted on Diplomas From Other States Must Be Renewed by the State Board. Olympia. Wash., Aug. 5. —Assistant Attorney General E. W. Ross has ren dered an official opinion to State Su perintendent R. B. Ryan which will be of state-wile interest, especially to holders of first grade certificates granted under the old law upon di plomas on state papers presented from educational institutions outside of this state. Mr. Ross holds that the state super intendent is required to renew such certificates even though the school upon whose diploma the certificate was issued has not been placed upon the list of "accredited schools." pro vided for by the last legislature. There was some doubt in the mind of the state superintendent on this point, and he asked for legal advice. Mr. Ross in giving his opinion on the subject, points to the fact that there are three classes of first grade certi cates granted in this state. One is based on diplomas from the colleges and universities of this state, another on diplomas and state papers from other states and the third on examin ations given for the purpose of ascer taining the qualifications of the appli cant. He holds that it was the intent of the last legislature in poviding for the making out and filing of a new list of "accredited schools," by the state board of education to simply estab lish a new basis for the future and not to invalidate any certificate or diplo ma granted under the law heretofore. He holds the law expressly provides that it shall not act retrospectively and under its provisions the state su perintendent has not discretionary power but is compelled to renew any first grade certificate based on the necessary qualifications before the new law took effect June 11, 1903. Prudence is merely well-trained common sense. FRUIT TREE DISEASES Randies Prtjr&sed bj State dnnissieaer. IlidSriT 1! APPLE TKHS How It Can Be Cured—Some Val uable Formulae Given by V»n Holderbeke. State Horticultural Commissioner A. Yon Holderbeke is out with a spec ial bulletin to fruia culturista of the state, containing what he claims is a sure treatment for the hitherto incur able blackspot in apple trees, gumosis in pitted fruit trees, and pear blight in pear trees. These diseases have long been a nightmare to horticulturists owing to their nature not being thoroughly un derstood. Trees have been cured, and the same remedies applied elsewhere have failed of relief. Many thous ands of acres of the finest of trees in all parts of the world have at various times developed the di'stase and had to be destroyed eventually. Many oth er orchards have recovered from bad effects without anything having been done. In the state of Washinton many or chards have been abandoned from these same causes, and the commis sioner now claims to show the causes which leads to the disease, and the very simple remedies which at his hands have invariably worked a cure —and in short ordt r. According to tiie commi'ssioiner in a majority cf cases a simple applica tion of lime about the roots of a tree is all that is required to start, them afresh into renewed healthy life. The trees are painted with the white wash, for the commissioner informs his readers in a long article that the accompanying fungus in blaskspot is a result, not the cause of the disease. It Is Plart-t Scurvy. The blackspot which has puzzled the horticulturists of two worlds, ac cording to the commissioner is noth ing but a species of plant scurvy—the result of a ration out of balance. Usu ally with a view to forcing rapid growth, the roots are plied with ma nure. The plant food being overbal anced by the presence of such quan tities of nitrogen, the proportions are wrong and a change takes place in the nature of the sap. Spots appear upon the tender limbs to circumscribe the affected area but without avail. The blacksimt passing round the limb of the tree kill all above it. Lime applied to the ground will lib erate potash, correct the proportions, and the tree at once recovers. When the proportions of the ration are right, the tree may be planted too deeply and be deprived of air for its roots. The cure is here wrought by remov ing the ground over the roots, or in causing new surface roots to grow, or by digging the tree and planting it afresh on top of the ground. He fays: Cause. "The following observations ar 9 the j. c. SCOTT, hlghestm.rketpr.ee, Wft ,fc. Wa l| a Wash. for the disease?, as we]; the action of the fungu? to ly of a secondary nature.

Half an hour later Pole drew rein in a most isolated spot, near a great yawn ing canyon from which came a roaring sound of rushing water and clashing winds. The sky overhead was blue and cloudless; the air at that altitude was crisp and rarefied, and held the odor of spruce pine. With a laugh Tole dismounted. "What ef 1 was to tell you, Mr. Craig, that you was in ten yards o' my old den right now?" Craig looked about in surprise.

When they had fastened their horses to swinging limbs In a dense thicket of laurel and rhododendron bushes, they went to the pile of rocks. "I toted mighty nigh all of 'em from higher up," Pole explained. "Some o' the biggest I rolled down from that cliff above." "I don't see how you are going to get into your hole in the ground," said Craig, with a laugh of pleasant antici pation. Pole picked up a big, smooth stick of hickory, shaped like a crowbar, and thrust the end of it under the Largest rock. "Huh! I'll 6how you in a Jiffy." It was an enormous stone weighing: over three hundred pounds; but with his strong lever and knotted muscles the ex-moonshiner managed to slide it 6lowly to the right, disclosing a black hole about two feet square in the rag ged stone. From this protruded into the light the ends of a crude ladder leading down about twenty-five feel to the bottom of the cave. "Ugh!" Craig shuddered as he peered into the dank blackness. "You don't mean that we are to go down there?' It was a crisis. With bis big feet dangling in the hole, Pole threw him self back and gave vent to a hearty, prolonged laugh that went ringing and echoing about among the cliffs and chasms. -I 'lowed this ud make yore flesh crawk" he said. "Lookb like the open in' to the bad place, don't It?" -It certainly dots," said Craig, some what reassured by Pole's levity. "Why It aint moreen forty feet square/ said Pole. "Wait till I run down an' make a light I've got soaw fat piue torches down at the foot o' the ladder." "Well. I believe I will let you go first" said Craig, with an uneasy little Pole went down the ladder, reckless ly thumping his heels on the rungs Ho was lost to sight from above, but In a moment Craig heard him strike a match and saw the red. growing flame of a sputtering torch from which twisted a rope of smoke. When it was well ablaze, Pole called up the ladder: -Come on now, an' watch whur you put yore feet. This end o' the ladder is solid as the rock o' Gibralty." The square of daylight above was cut off. and in a moment the ex-banker stood beside his guide.

Chemist and Metallurgist of Oregon Finds the Philospher's Stone. Merlin, Or. —J. La RJx, chemist and metallurgist, has maaV silver from gold and developed a new metal from slate, from which he expects to pro duce gold. From his note.?, which were scanned by the government inspectors, it seems he has developed a new metal from commercial slate, abundant here, which has an affinity for the atom of gold and silver, which he calls "Rix um." The theory he has been working upon is the disintegration of the atom into unit ions and the substraction from gold and the addition of rixirm ions to the silver atom. The process consists of a strong acll solution combined with powerful electric currents of a portion of the ions in the atom by electrical convey ance into a similar solution of rITOBL Relief In 48 hour*.

HARVEST HALF OVER Estimate 6y Prominent Farmers and Dealers. WILL TAKE ANOTHER MONTH YET Little Doing in Local Market, Farmers Believing That Prices Will Advance Soon. Fifty per cent of Walla Walla county's wheat crop harvested and in the sack, was the estimate advanced by prominent farmers and dealers to day. Another month must be consum ed to place the 1903 crop under cover. In the Eureka fiat belt, heading is practically finished and threshing will be commenced next week where com bined harvesters are not being used Around Lee station headers are still being run in the fields of the Uptons, Babcock, Struther s and Hoffman but the work, with fair weather, is expect ed to be completed by Saturday. In The foothill district harvest is considerably in advance of the fiat district and another ten days will practically see every field denuded of its crop and the grain on the way to the warehouses. Out in the Prescott neighborhood harvest i's in full blast. Ten days more will be required to fin ish up. While busily engaged in getting their crops under cover the price ofi the cereal is troubling farmers but lit tle, and. aside from an occasional trip to dealers' offices to inquire after quo tations, there has been little doing in The local market this week. The «»a jority of farmers look for a strong! advance in the price of all cereals within another two months and deal ers themselves admit that quotations will probably advance. Bluestem was quoted around To cents today and club at 65. wheat on board. Eastern markets have declin ed somewhat owing to the periodical "sifting out" process. The Commer cial Review says values are inflated and sums up the situation as follows: The week ha* passed without any startling developments in the wheat situation bore, or any sign of an early active shipping business. Harvesting is progressing in all directions and the reports from the harvest fields are not very tattering. A few unimport ant sales have been made during the week to millers, and these at prices entirely too high for ex;>orters to at tempt to secure. Offerings recently have been very small and demon strates that the wheat is practically al] sold. New wheat has hardly as yet been offered for sale; farmers' ideas as to values are greatly inflated and they show very little disj>osition to meet buyers' ideas as to values. Tliis position must in the end result disastrously to the selling interest. Farmers and sellers must, bear in mind that prices here are subject to selling values in Europe, cost of freight and insurance added, and that exporters take all t:ie risk attached to the export business. It is well known that pres ent bids put out are much above a !>arity with selling prices abroad fully 7 cents per bushel, and unless a reac t: >n sets in there will be very little business done early this season. The movement of new wheat to tidewater has as yet not set in, and very little has grine to interior warehouses. As to selling prices it is difficult to give an accurate figure; old wheat, club, is quoted TSc; new, 75c; bluestem, 81c for old: new, 78c, and valley, ojd 79c and 80c, with no quotation for new.

TAKEN DIRECT FROM THE CARS Dealers Laying in Stock While They May Get Cars—No Advance in Prices Looked For. By buying the winter's supply of wood off the cars as they are brought in from the mountain camps, local dealers say that consumers can effect a saving of 25 to 50 cents per cord. Many are taking advantage of saving a few dollars on the winter supply. Twenty-five cents a cord is charged for handling wood and this is saved to the customer by buying direct off the cars. Local dealers are rushing their stock to the city as fast as cars can be secured. In three weeks the wheat crop will begin to move seaward and then cars cannot be obtained for love or money. Dealers who were caught in a car famine last year have laid in several hundred cords and expect to have their full stock in shortly. Mixed wood in four-foot lengths is selling for $5.50 a cord and sawed at $60. Selected fir commands a half dollar more per cord. One dealer this morning stated that he did not expect these prices to advance. Unless there is some untoward incident, wood will retail in Walla Walla this winter at about the same prices as last. Though the mountain men have ad vanced the price a half dollar a cord, Walla Walla dealers contracted their winter's supply before the raise and the advance will not affect local re tail prices. Pendleton, though 4" miles nearer the base of supply, is paying $7 a cord for indifferent stock with indica tions for another advance before snow flies. Walla Walla dealers are able o secure the same car rates as Pen ileton dealers. FAMILY THEATER. The, Walla Walla Family theater has been playing to crowded houses all week and last night there was hardly standing room. This week's bill has been exceptionally strong, af ter the regular performance a laugh able farce being given. Tattle Arthur Rosell, the 11-year-old boy comedian, is certainly making a hit with his au diences in his Dutch and Irish sketch es, and his act alone i's worth the price of admission. Tonight the entire program will be changed. After the regular bill a 40- --minute afterpiece will be given. To morrow night is amateur night and a prize will be given to the best amateur performer. Saturday night the lady's gold watch will be given away. AMATEUR NIGHT. Tonight is amateur night at Shields Park and a big time* is assured aside from the regular bill a number of lo cal people will appear. Don't miss the great pie eating contest. Friday night will be Elks' night and Satur day night gift night. Call and see the beautiful presents on display in the window of the Davis-Kasor Co., and don't fail to be on hand Saturday night.

In reporting the match made be tween Frank Lewis, the middle weight wrestler, and William Verdenius yes terday, the Union this morning stated that Lewis traveled throughout south eastern Washington with Maroulah, the Turk last summer giving exhibi tions and that the combination came to grief in this city. Mr. Lewis de sires to state that he never toured with Maroulah, though he did wrestle him two matches, one being pulled off at Pendleton and one in this city. Both were won by Mr. Lewis by stay ing the time limit. Mr. Lewis acquir ed his reputation as a wrestler before meeting the Turk and held the middle weight championship until it was won from turn by Berg, who still holds it.
