' New York, Aug. I.-A Herald special
from Washington says: Id support of
their claim to Palmyra island, which
baa been taken possession of by the,
Britiah government, the London author
itiea refer to the fact that the British
flag waa hoisted over this territory in
1889. Even if the offioial reoordaof
tlie Hawaiian government fail to show
tlie title of the Dole regime to the
island, the United State ia in a poei
tion to raise the claim that the island
belongs to this government by virtue
of 4isoovery by aa American eitiaen.
This fact ia recognised by the authori
ties in an official publication which
contains a reference to its discovery and
tlie action of the British in placing
their flag over it The publication
ia the official directions of the hydro-
graphic office of Ureal Britain issued by
tlie admiralty. In regard to Palmyra
island, the volume states:
"Palmyra waa discovered by Captain
Saole, of the American shin Palmyra,
1 in 1803, and waa formally annexed to
Ureat Britain by Commander Nicholas,
of H. M. S. Cormorant, May 18, 1889.
There were no inhabitants on the island
at the time of its annexation, althongh
Messrs. Henderson and McFarlane, of
New Zealand, contemplated cultivating
It"
A high official of the state depart
ment said last night that an investiga
tion regarding the rights of Hawaii and
Great Britain to Palmyra island ia now
being made.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said he
had not examined into the question of
the validity of the Hawaiian title to
Palmyra island, and waa not prepared
to express a defintie opinion on the
subject, though he waa inclined to
think it a matter of comparatively
small importance to the United States
whether Ureat Britain had the island
or not, on aooonnt of its distance from
the United States and Hawaii.
The action of Great Britain in taking
possession of Palmyra at this time is
generally regarded here aa a step in
her jubilee year poilry of strengthening
her military lines. Another step ia
that policy haa been brought to th
attention of the state department in '
report of Consul Miller, at Port Stan
ley, Falkland is las, who report that
surreys are in progress at that point
tinder the direction of Colonel Lewis,
of the royal engineers, for the estab
lishment of a naval station and hospital-
Such a station af this -point,
with repair shops and fortifications
would be of the utmost importance to a

Portland, Or., Aug. 1. General
Agent R. P. Oner, of the Northern
Pacillo refrigerator-car system, was in
the city yesterday. He has just made
an extended tour of the fruit and grata
districts of the country tributary to the
Northern Paoiiio, and had thia to say
tn the subject: .
"There will lie an enormous fruit
crop in the Snake river valley, in the
Yakima district, and in the Walla
Walla district In fact, there will be
a heavy crop wherever there is an or
chard in the Northwest The Sound
itself will ship a largo quantity. The
prices are uniformly good, growers be
ing content to get one to one and a halt
cents net per pound ia the Eastern
markets. .. . - '
"In this connection I observed a
very noteworthy fact, that is, the im
meoee shipment of green fruit and
vegetables to Alaska. One Tacoma
firm haa a standing order to ship every
thing in this line that will, in their
opinion, atan i the trip. That's a pret
ty good order. Moat Alaska boata
bare oold-storage facilities, and could
use more, for tlie demand ia surprising.
It is a fact Uiat two cents a pound ia
netted to the grower on fresh fruit sent
to Alaska, and, now that this mining
excitement is rushing such numbers of
people into that region, it is easy to
force great and growing market fur
the green and dried fruit and vegetable
products of the Northwest .
"The grain crop is everywhere most
promising. With the advancing prioe
for wheat, this will be a banner year
in the annals of the grain industry. I
. i . . , . . i
Wll eurpriHM to nnu was over in sun
Sprague and Ritaville region the wheat
crop was even better than in the Pa
louse." .
Traveling Freight Agent Savage, of
the Omaha line, who just returned
from the Washington fruit and grain
country, also aays that no description
of the crop outlook thia year can be too
glowing. .

the pistol to his own head and when
Butler grabbed it in an endeavor to
take it away the weapon was discharged
and Vi elier was shot through the head.
Butler said be had used Heller's pa
pers to enable him to ship aa a sailor.
Tbe case was then givea to the jury.

New York, Aug. a.The World
aays: Henry Uauldier, 80 years ol
age, waa found in this city unconscious
and bleeding from a wound in his head,
Citiaena picked him up and carried him
to a saloon.' His skull is probably
fractured. He telegraphed for his
brother Phillip, of Laoonia, N. H
asking him to join him at once.
Gauldier said be waa direct from the
Clondyke, having left Dawson City
June 18. He came on tbe steamer
Portland, the ; first steamer down.
n hen he arrived in New York be went
to tli Manhattan hotel. Ha had re
ceipt for $300 deposited with the clerk
of the hotel. :
With $200 he started out to do the
town. He ia not quite clear aa to bow
he reached Harlem, or how he got
where be was found, but he bad been
robbed of tbe greater part of his
money. When made comfortable ia
the hospital he said:
I wish I had bad 'Old Betey' with
me when those ruffians attacked me."
He went to the Clondyae a year ago,
He stopped at Junea and went thence
to Dominion creek. He located sev
eral valuable claims. ' Tbe stories told,
he said, of tbe finds ia that section do
not begin to tell the truth. He lef used
to say how much money be bad
brought back, but said it waa not an
common to find fortune in few
weeks.
' "I only left at this time because a
newcomer told me of my father's death,
I ran away from home and have not
seen my people in 20 years. Knowing
that I had a rich find and wishing to
share it with my people, 1 came back
to get my brother to go with me. .. He
will find our claims ia good hands With
gold ready to be picked up." -
Gaaldier's story seems to be verified
by papers found la his pocketn, includ
ing a number on the banks of tbe Yu
kon, s receipt for a berth on the steam'
er . Portland and the hat mark of i
tradesman in Seattle If his skull is
not fractured he may be able to leave
the hospital soon.

Legitimate laws of supply and da
mend may at times be counterbalanced
by speculation, but they cannot always
be ignored with Impunity. The ad'
vanoa in wheat values during the week
has been long overdue. ' Nominally it
has been caused by reported damage to
the Russian wheat crop. In reality it
ia due to depleted reserves and small
crops. A conservative statement of
supplies at home and abroad is as fol
lows: Importing countries require
100,000,000 bushels more than last
year. The only countries with eiporta
bis surplus are America and Russia.
The latter, according to latest reports,
ill have less than usual for export.
America must therefore reap the benefit
of the increased export demand. ' For
innately, we have excellent crop pros
peels, promising at present the second
largest wheat crop ever produced in
this country. Ia this connection it
must be borne in mind that our reserves
are practically exhausted, and if they
are to be replenished from the coining
crop our exiortuble surplus will not
exceed that of last year by over 80,000,
000 ousbela. Importers are wakiug up
to the situation, and they have bceu
large and persistent buyers of wheat in
our markets during the week. The re
sulting advance, while large and rapid,
is more than fully warranted, and tbe
tendency of the market is to advance
etiil further.
Exports for the week were somewhat
higher than the previous oue, wheat
and flour equalling 1,078,000 bushels,
while the world's shipments were re
ported at about 4,000,000 bushels. Ou
ocean passage decreased 660,000 bush
els, and our visible supply showed an
increase of 703,000 bushels, and now
totals 16,032,000 bushels, against 47,
173,000 bushels a year ago this time.
There were alarming reports of dam
age to the Russians' greatest food aud
cereal, the rye crop. An encouraging
feature is the exceedingly light re
ceipts of new wheat, the movement
thus far being very limited and not
amounting to more than one-third of
that of a year ago. This indicates that
there ia a very heavy interior demand
for new wheat, or else that the new
crop is being held back in anticipation
ef higher prices. Cables have advanced
daily and are very strong, bringing
baying orders for both Lugluh and
French accounta, mostly future delivery,

To be a thoroughly all-around, suc
cessful farmer, a man must be some
thing of a chemist to understand tbe
soil be baa to deal with and the ele
ments he must supply. He must be
something of a botanist to understand
(he needs of the crops, and tbe weeds
be must contend against. lie must be
considerable of a carpenter, mechanic
and blacksmith. In order to keep bis
farm buildings and tools In good condi
tion, lie must be something of a vet
erinarian, so ss to be able to relieve
the sufferings of the animals under bis
care. He should bare a knowledge of
tbe birds, who are both his friends and
enemies. It Is necessary tbat he should
keep bis eyes open to tbe events of the
lay, In order that he may Intelligently
protect himself whenever his Interests
ire threatened, e must be able to plan
his work well and be possessed of ex
ecutive ability, so tbat those who work
under blm may bare their efforts di
rected to the best advantage. lie should
be a good business man, so as to be
able to prepare and sell his products
advantageously, tast, but not least, be
should be poMseaacd of a good wife,
wbo can supplement all his efforts.
These are only a few of the qualifica
tions necessary for a successful farm
er, snd yet there are men who tblnk
any "clodhopper" can be a farmer. Let
them try It, and they will fltid that In
farming, as In all business, there Is a
bottom, as well as top, to tbe ladder.
Still, there Is hardly any business
which can be carried on with so little
special training as can farming.

Vat raltlvaltoR of Potatssea.
As the method of cultivation changes
to a very light scratching of the sur
face, ao as to dVatroy small weeds and
keep a inuk'D on the surface to prevent
evaporation, farmera have lea rued
that they can cultivate potatoee much
biter than used to be thought poatalhle.
Tbe ok! plan of "laying by" th potato
and corn crop before barvtmthig Is now
rarely followed and never by tbe beat
fanners. It belnngod to the time when
plow making deep furrows between
tbe rows sod setting potatoes In a fall)
was thought to be tlie last caltlvatVoa
needed. Better crops are now grown
by level cultivation, which If it la made
shallow may be continued almost until
potatoes are grown and without Injur
Ing the crop.
Fores Crone for feedlne; Clreen.
Corn Is the beat crop to aow for feed

from which a first crop of clover bas
been cut. Is th best for fodder corn.
The ground should be plowedbarrow.
leg or cultivating tbe ground ia not
enough. Plow the land deeply; bar- j
row It both ways to get It mellow; fur- j
row out and aow tour hundred pounds
of phosphate aud one bushel of corn to
the acre. Cover the corn with tbe bar
row, and then drag the ground to make
It smooth. It la too mte to sow millet
or Hungarian grass, unless the ground I
Is mad very fine and heavily dressed
with fine, well-rotted manure." At least
twelve twoborse cartloads should be!

Blrklna tba Grain.
If the grain cannot be put Into tbe
barn or barrsck. It should be ricked.
It Is a very bsd plan to thresh from
tbe shock. There Is too much delay In
wsltlng for the machine, and even If
tbe weather Is dry, the grain Is very
liable to bleach from the hot aun, and
then It does not go through the usual
barn swest. If tbe weather Is showery,
the grain is damaged; tbe straw Is very
badly Injured for feeding purposes,
and In most cases there Is a heavy loss.
Several farmera In our vicinity tried
tli reshing from the shock last season.
and In one or two Instances their grain
waa badly damaged while waiting for
tbe machine. If one haa a machine, or
can get the grain threshed without de
lay, of course, It may be tbe best to
bav It threshed at once and tbe grain
sold, wben tbe market Is tip. Grain
threshed light from the shock Is liable
to beat In bulk. If tbe grain is ricked,
make tbs rick long and narrow, and
have tbe rick bed raised at least one
foot above the ground. Hav two large
canvas covers bandy to cover over th
Crlnssna C'ovar and TnralDa.
At the last cultivation of tbe corn
If the ground Is not wanted for grain,
crimson clover and turnips may be
sown. Bow one pound of turnips and
fifteen pounds of cloverseed to the
acre; tbe seea should be fresh. The
one-horse barrow should b run
through tut rows before sowing tbs
seed. To bring turnips 400 pounds of
dressed bones sbould be sown to ths
acre. , .- ; ..
Making Cheap Cora far.
It does not pay to route corn at (
cents a bushel If you have to market II
as corn; but turn 8-cent com bvto ac
cent beef or 0-cent pork and It yields
a good per cent on ths lnveatment
after all. ,
