C. — Preliminary steps were taken by the Postoffice de partment Monday to perfect Its plan for reducing the coat of living by hav ing the parcel post carry products of the farm directly to the door of the consumer. Ten cities were selected to begin work of establishing direct connec tions between producer and consumer, Postmaster General Burleson having already issued an order permitting the use of crates and boxes for butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit shippd by parcel post. Orders have gone to the postmasters at Boston, Atlanta, St. Louie, San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit, La Crosse, Wis., Lynn, Maas., Rock Island, III., and Washington, directing them to "re ceive the names of persons who are willing to supply farm products in re tail quantities by parcel post." Printed lists of these names, show ing kind and quantity of commodity available, will bo distributed among town and city patrons. "By the use of these lists," First Assistant Postmaster General Roper said, "the city consumer will be able to get In touch with a farmer who will fill hie weekly orders for butter and The eggs and other farm products. consumer will receive the produce fresh from the country and the person al relationship established will no doubt tend to improve the quality. The farmer will be relieved of carry ing hie produce to market, as the rural carrier will make dally collections at the farmer’s door of these retail ship menta to city consumers."

D. C.—An increase of $7.564.000 in the army appropriation bill waa made by the senate military affaire committee In reporting the measure to the senate. The emended bill carries an appropriation of $101,- 755.000. The moat important new Item is $135,000 to construct a military cable from Washington State to Alaska. The committee urges an Increase of $1,221.000 In the pay for enlisted men, that the army may be main tained at its present full strength of 86,000, $2,000,000 is asked for ammu nition for the militia field artillery and $1,350,000 for field guns. Another addition would provide $50,000 for air- ships. _________________ Roosevelt Party looses Equipment and Specimens New York — The loss of all the equipment of Theodore Roosevelt’s party in the unexplored wilds of Cen tral Brazil is reported In a cable mes sage from Anthony Fiala. a member of the party, to the New York Times. The message, dated at Santarem, Bra zil. follows: ‘‘We have lost everything in the rapids. Telephone my wife of my safety.” The rapids mentioned are presumed to be those of a tributary of the Am azon river. Members of the Roosevelt family here had received no advices from Colonel Roosevelt, but expressed no concern for his safety. In fact, Mr. Fiala's silence on the subject was held to Indicate that the lose waa confined to the equipment and the archaeological and other specimens gathered by the expedition. It was said by the Times that any personal injury to the colonel waa to be cabled immediately and fully. Higher Wages Opposed. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Dan iels told the house labor committee he opposed the Maher bill to fix arbitrary rates of pay for government Inaehin- ists in navy yards. “The wages paid by the govern ment," said Secretary Daniels, "are as good, or a little better, on the aver age, than in private yards. But if we make the wages too high it will not benefit the men, because congress re quires that we send our work where it can be done cheapest and if private yards are paying leas money they will get the business." Llama Will Sail Again. New York—The llama which arrived here last Sunday by the steamship Verdi from Buenos Ayres, consigned to William J. Bryan, will be deported on the Verdi, not back to South Amer ica, but to England. At least it will start for England, but before now, it is said, dead llamas have been found floating in from the three-mile limit after they had been rejected by the livestock quarantine inspectors. Mem bers of the crew think that the in spector is mistaken in saying the ani mal had the foot and mouth disease. Highway Bill Reported. Washington, D. C. —The house bill providing for highway work in con junction with the states waa favorably reported to the senate by the agricul tural committee. It would also appro priate $1,000,000 for 1914 and auth orize an appropriation of $4,090,000 for 1915, with additional yearly in creases until 1921, when the amount authorized would be $10,000,000. Pacific Northwest to Surpass All Records This Year. Prospectivo Crop Estimated at 70,- 000,000 Bushels -Increase Over 1913 14,000,000 Bushels. Portland—The states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho will produce a bumper crop of wheat this year, and unless all signs fail, the yield will be a record-breaker. Experienced grain men predict an output of at least 70,- 009,000 bushels of this cereal in the Pacific Northwest. These views are based on the re markably fine condition of the winter wheat crop in the three states. From the date of planting to the present time, all conditions of climate, coll and moisture have been ideal. From every point in the Northwest comes an uniform report of perfect growing weather and fine stand. The Increase in acreage has been more extensive than expected, averag ing perhaps close to 10 per cent throughout the entire territory. The Northwest last year turned off a wheat crop of about 56,000,000 bushels. The record yield heretofore has been Ofi.OOO.OfO bushols. This year the three states will come up to this latter figure and without doubt will exceed It. Spring wheat sowing Is now in progress In ail sections, and general conditions could not be better for this operation. Prospects for barley, oata, forage and fruits of all kinds are en tirely satisfactory. In the Columbia river counties of Oregon, the Indications are the beat in years. Sherman county has a 40 per cent Increase In winter wheat acreage and there Is promise of a 5,000,000- bushel crop. Gilliam has also a largo gain In planting and farmers ex pect more than 8,500,000 bushels of wheat. Wasco has record prospects and Umatilla will improve on its 6,- 000,000-bushel crop of last year. Union reports a 15 per cent gain in eight Throughout the winter wheat sec tions of Washington, the outlook Is a rosy one. Lincoln county, the banner wheat eounty of the West which last year produced more than 8,600,000 bushels, gives indications of a crop thia year 25 per cent heavier. The Walla Walla country, the grain sections around Dayton. Prosser, Ritz ville and Preecott, will have, from prenent prospects, record crops. Big Bend reports are favorable, and so Is the outlook In the Goldendale district. Similar renorta come from the ce real section Idaho. The Lewiston country has increased Its acreage 15 per cent and the grain la having a re markable growth. Caldwell growers are going in for corn and have en larged their acreage 100 per cent over last year._________________ Pet Ants Are Barred From United States Washington, D. C.—Mrs. C. W. Morse's pet ants cannot be admitted to the United States. No stretch of the Immigration laws will permit these undesirable alien insects to enter. They will be deported at the expense of the steamship company that brought them over. This Is the dictum of the bureau of entomology of the United States de partment of agriculture, as announced by Dr. I-eland C. Howard, chief en tomologist, who aald: “Of course it Is not a question of Mrs. Morse’s anta being pets, for the law Is absolute. They are Inaecta and under the law no foreign insects may be Imported Into the United States.” Mias Tyler Loses Office. Norfolk, Va. — After serving 20 years as postmistress at Courtland, Va., Misa Mattie Tyler, grand daugh ter of John Tyler, 10th president of the United States, has lost her posi tion by order of President Wilson.

New York—With the two recent heavy falls of snow still in evidence in the outlying sections of the city, an other 3J Inches fell Sunday, 24 hours after the official entry of spring. Sev en thousand men were put to work to- clear the principal streets. Long Fall Kills Aviator. Wool Loses By Grading. Basel, Switzerland — An aviator named Borrer was killed here Sunday. Hie machine had reached a great height when it suddenly dipped for ward. The spectators watched the maneuver with intense Interest, think ing the aviator was about to loop-the- loop. Borrer was 19 years old. Washington, D. C.—American wool' growers could add 8 cents a pound to the value of their product if they were to send it to market graded and put up as attractively as are Australian wools, according to estimates of ex perts of the department of agricul ture.
