THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1901. AMONG ITS ATTRACTIONS CARNIVAL COMMITTEE WORKING TO SELECT THE BEST. "Last Days of .Pompeii," a Historical Spectacular Production, "Will Probably Be Secured. For several weeks the members of the carnival committee have been scouring the field and getting In touch -with the most notable special amusement attrac tions that at present exist In the United States. The field Is a large one, and the attractions are many and most merito rious. To single out the very best ones and those most suitable lor the Pacific North west and adapted to the tastes of its peo ple is a task that requires tact and dis crimination. The amusement committee, which has this important work in charge, is now act ively engaged in considering the merits of many attractions, and one of the lead ing1 ones under consideration is the great historical, spectacular "The Last D"ays of Pompeii." Its scenery, costumes and choruses are sublimely grand, and its me chanical and electrical effects are start ling. It h0W9 the sudden transformation of the large City of Pompeii from a scene of Xetes and splendor to a lost city, blotted out by a fall of volcanic ash from the crater of Mount Vesuvius. The mountain In a state of eruption and the terrible volcano are all shown In grand spectacu lar effects. There Is to be no lack of fireworks at the carnival, and the Multnomah field, adjoin ing the Exposition building, will make a most advantageous place in which to make displays of pyrotechnics. A special ty will be made of set pieces appropriate to- the different occasions. GRAINS AND GRASSES. Coming; Carnival Will Make a. Mag niflcenx Display. Captain E. S. Edwards and his fellow commltteemen on agriculture and horti culture are exerting themselves to make their department one of the towering suc cesses -at the coming carnival. Their work has already been begun, and they are get ting together a collection of all the grains and grasses raised in the Pacific North west. The designs into which grains and grasses have been worked and exhibited at former expositions have attracted much attention and admiration, and the work of preparing them by deft fingers has always been done under difficulties, for it was done in the Exposition building, while the saw and hammer were making no end of noise in preparing the vast building's In terior. This time the committee wisely con cluded tD have its display arranged under more favorable auspices, and has rented the building at 627. "Washington street, where all the preliminary work on grains and grasses will be done. EAST SIDE NEWS. Worlc Commenced on MilwauUIe Strect Cycle Patli. A force of men and teams, in charge of Road Supervisor Kelly, have commenced work on the cycle path on Mllwaukle street, between Holgate and Division. It is being built five feet wide between the curb and the street railway on the east Bide of the street. Owing to the extreme hardness of the ground it takes six horses to pull a plow used In cutting the trench for the outside curb timber. The gravel is packed extremely hard and the wcTk goes slowly. Road Supervisor Kelly has had mach experience in building cycle, paths, and will push the construction. It will be finished this month, and the prob lem of keeping wheels off the sidewalk on Mllwaukle street will be solved. How ever, there is a gang of scorchers who will have to be watched, even after comple tion of this path. The next movement will be to get a path, or paths, on Hawthorne avenue, be tween East Twelfth and East Third streets. The Cycle Association recom mended building a path on Eas,t Clay street for the reason that it was not con sidered practicable to put paths on Haw thorne avenue, on account of the double street car tracks. R. G. Morrow, of the association, presents a plan to get over this difficulty, by building narrow paths on the east side of the avenue. He sug gests that these paths take up two feet of the sidewalk and two feet of the street. The plan seems feasible. Considering that the Oregon City, Carshops, "Woodstock and Section paths all come together at Hawthorne avenue and East Twelfth street, the need of paths connecting with Madison-street bridge is apparent. James B. Stephens Sub-Board. A meeting of residents of Stephens' ad dition. East Side, was held last night in Gruner's Hall, and steps were taken to start a sub-board of trade. "W. R. Bishop was elected temporary chairman and Frank Melvln acted as temporary secre tary. There was a considerable attend ance and much enthusiasm was manifest ed. It was decided to call the organization the James B.Stephens Sub-Board of Trade. On motion articles and by-laws were adopted similar to those of the other sub-boards and in harmony with the Portland Board of Trade. A temporary conference committee, to act with con ferences of the Eighth Ward sub-boards, was appointed. It was made up of W. R. Bishop, J. J. Murphy and O. M. Luther. Encouraging remarks were made by D. M. Donaugh, who also called attention to the work of the various boards in that part of the city. Remarks were also made by J. J. Murphy, outlining some of the work to be done. He said that the city should own the Hawthorne Park, and declared that certain streets should be opened and improved. It was decided to co-operate with the four other sub-boards in whatever may be of public good. At the meeting, next Thursday evening, officers will be elected and committees appointed. At the close of the meeting 17 had signed the roll. An effort will be made to hold a rousing meeting next Thursday evening In the same hall. Accident Caused "by Mlllc Wagon. There have been conflicting accounts of the accident to S. H. Averill, which oc curred several days ago, wherein he received injuries from which he died at the hospital. The accident happened on Hawthorne and Union avenues. An eye witness to the affair says: "Mr. Averill was on his way to work that morning. He was standing waiting for a car to take him to his destination, and was facing the car track. Just as the car came along a milk wagon dashed by with reckless speed and Indifference to life. Averill was standing with his I back toward the wagon, and neither saw nor heard It. He was struck by the wagon and thrown forward toward the car with his arms extended in such a way that one arm went under the car and was caught by the wheels. Averill was sot subject to fits and did not fall In one. It was the milk wagon which caused the accident. Mr. Averill had not yet at tempted to board the car." Mr. Averilrs funeral was held yester day afternoon at the Christian church. A. H. Averill, manager of Russell & Co., Is a son. of the deceased- Replevin and DnmnRC Suit. W. H. Findley started suit In Justice Vreeland's court against W. T. Henton, a Grand avenue blacksmith, to replevin a buggy and recover 550 damages. The case came to trial yesterday. The plaintiff took his buggy to Henton's shop for repairs, it was alleged. He then tried to remove it without paying the charges for the re pairs, amounting to $3 50, but Henton ob jected and retained the vehicle. After wards Findley went to the shop and of fered the amount, but this was refused. In his answer to the complaint the de fendant made a general denial of every thing alleged. Justice Vreeland took the matter under advisement until today. Growing out of this difficulty Findley was fined ?5 in another court for assault on Henton. Investigating Blackboards. The Mount Tabor school directors are considering the matter of renewing the blackboards in the main building on "West avenue and the Base Line road. Those In the building have been in use so long that they are worn out. They are Investigating the HIlo plate blackboard, which has been largely introduced into the Portland schools. It will cost nearly 51000 to renew the blackboards of the large building. At the last meeting of the taxpayers of the district the directors were given authori ty to renew the blackboards, but owing to the expense the directors are proceed ing slowly. They want to get blackboards that are durable. Will Sprinkle Lndd Avenue. The Board of Public Works will pro vide for sprinkling Ladd avenue, from the corner of East Twelfth street and Haw thorne avenue to East Twenty-first and Division streets. A L. Maxwell of the board made an Inspection of the condi tion of the avenue, and admits the jus tice of the complaint about its condition. It will be swept and sprinkled about three times a week, which is the best that can be done. The Clinton Kelly Sub-Board brought the matter to the attention of the Board of Public Works. Church Will Be Reopened Sunday. The Sunnyslde Methodist Episcopal church will be reopened Sunday. It has been closed for the past two weeks, while the Inside was being renovated. The work has been finished. Rev. H. B. Elworthy, the pastor, who, with his family, has been taking a vacation near Canby, writes that he will be home Saturday and occu py his pulpit Sunday. Meeting of Conference Committees. There will be a meeting of the con ference committees of the Sellwood, Brooklyn, Clinton Kelly, Woodstock and James B. Stephens Sub-Boards tomorrow evening, in the hall over the drug store on the corner of Milwaukee and Powell streets. It will be the first meeting of these committees and It Is desired that there be a full attendance. Wnter Shortage. Customers of the Mount Tabor Water Works have been notified to discontinue use of the hose for irrigation purposes, owing to the difficulty experienced to keeping up the pressure for domestic pur poses. The pump was kept going con stantly for 48 hours and the reservoirs on the hill could not be kept full. East Side Notes. The bridge on the county road between Sellwood and Willsburg needs Immediate attention. Several holes were broken In the decking yesterday. The contractor has the Multnomah schoolhouse on the way to the new loca tion at Ockley Green. The route Is over Tough country and progress Is slow. Judge John F. Caples delivered an in teresting lecture at Firemen's hall, Sell wood, Wednesday evening, on his "Trav els in South America." There was a large attendance. Nomah lodge No. 42, K. of P., will give an entertainment this evening in the hall on East Thirty-fourth street, Sunnyslde. Members and friends receiving invitations will be welcome. The patrons of the Willsburg public school are Invited to the social and en tertainment tomorrow evening. Ice cream and watermelon will be sold, and the money used to build a sidewalk to the schoolhouse. Since free mall delivery was established at Sunnyslde the unnumbered houses there have been numbered and some changes made in street names. The num bers had to come before the carrier could deliver the mall. The Oregon City Express Company is building an extensive dock on the corner of East Water street and "Hawthorne avenue. It is about 50 feet wide and will extend out to the first piers of the Madi son street bridge. Car tracks also" are being extended out on this dock for freight cars. Mayor Rowe is very anxious that Grand avenue should be Improved, and If those property owners on the street who say they are favorable will support the mayor It will be accomplished. It Is admitted by very one that It should be Improved as quickly as possible. Its present con dition drives business away. The fire commissioners have Issued an order for the companies to drive slowly on Grand avenue in case of fire, to prevent acci dent. Wise Bros., dentists, 'both phones; the Falling.

Back Taxes Can Be Paid Without Costs, Penalties and Interest Before September 3. Auditor Devlin Is atout to follow th example of School Clerk Allen in sending notices to the present owners of all prop erty on which delinquent taxes are due. This scheme has not only had the effect of securing the payment of many delin quent taxes, but has been very pleasing to many who, although not prepared to pay delinquent taxes, were called to ex amine the roll and have expressed their appreciation of the trouble taken to give them warning of what they are owing. Many persons have bought or acquired property on which there are delinquent taxes of which they had no knowledge, and as the principle that taxes follow the property is now firmly established, this information is of value to them. The Council lately adopted a roll of de linquent city taxes, and a circular will be seit to every person whose name ap pears on this roll, stating the amount of tax each owes, and Informing them that all costs, penalties and Interest will be remitted If the tax Is paid by September 3. As there are between 3000 and 4000 names on the delinquent roll, the circulars cannot all be sent out Immediately, but they will all be out within two weeks, and the result will probably be, that a large amount of delinquent taxes will he paid in within the prescribed time. School and county taxes do not bear In terest, but city taxes bear the legal rate of Interest. On the delinquent roll of city taxes are a large number of personal property taxes, for the collection of which the property of the person owning them can ,be sold wherever found. RANDOM FACTS ABOUT WHEAT Statistics on Home Consumption, Holdover Stocks, and Prices. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. A number of random facts relative to the wheat In dustry of the Pacific Northwest are col lected in the report being prepared by the Department of Agriculture on that subject; among these, transportation, ex port prices, wheat In farmers' hands, and the disposal of the crop. The following extracts are made: "About 30 per cent of the wheat raised in the Pacific Coast section a total of about 20,000.000 bushels Is .usually con sumed In the same county In which It Is grown, the remaining 70 per cent being shipped to various mills throughout the country or exported to foreign countries. California usually consumes 30 per cent of Its product in the county in which It is grown; Oregon, 36 per cent; Washington, 24.4 per cent, and Idaho, 46.7 per cent. Home consumption, however. Is largely dependent on the price of wheat, as the farmers of this section will generally sell any of his products If "he can get a fair price for them. "The amount of wheat remaining in farmers' hands has been the subject of statistical investigation by the Depart ment of Agriculture on March 1 of each year beginning with 1893, and such Investi gations have established the fact that the farmer of the Pacific Coast usually retains about 23.1 per cent of lis wheat crop until after the 1st of March. These reserve stocks vary considerably and are apt to be largely Influenced by the price, of wheat and export demand. "In Oregon the perceptage ranged from 35 per cent In 1891 and 1900 to 15 per cent In 1897, and on March 1 of the present year 20 per cent of the crop of 1900 was still In the farmers' hands, a totaL reserve of 3,239.602 bushels. 'Washington shows a far greater range than either California or Oregon, stocks on hand varying from 47 per cent in 1899 to 11 per cent in 1897, with 5,521,265 bushels, or 22 per cent, remaining on hand on March 1 of the present year. "Idaho shows the largest percentage of wheat In farmers' hands on March 1 of the present year of any of the Pacific Coast States, 37 per cent being still in reserve, a total of 1,148,713 bushels. Fluc tuations have ranged from 40 per cent In 1892 and 1899 to 14 per cent In 1895. "Transportation of the enormous quan tity of wheat raised In the Pacific Coast region has been reduced to a science, and facilities are such that trains can be run from the wheat fields to tidewater at a very few hours' notice, and a large saving in the handling and warehouse re quirements can be made by loading ships directly from the cars. In Washington and Oregon the wheat, although it is brought to the shipping point in sacks, Is run through an elevator, where It Is re cleaned and mixed with other grades of wheat to bring It to the required standard grade, after which it is resacked and load ed on the vessels' or cars for final ship ment. "Export prices at the different ports of shipment have varied considerably in the past years. Portland prices ranged from 51 312 in 1S72 to 47.1 cents In 1895; and the prices at Tacoma and Seattle, which have been consolidated under the head of Pu get Sound prices, were also lowest in 1S95, being but 45.3 cents, the highest in 1872, when the export price was ?1 386." THE ORIGIN OF RELIGION. Born Not of Delusion, But of Univer sal Facts. WOODBURN, Aug. 6. (To the Editor.) The oldest records yet deciphered and the most ancient traditions, unite in de claring mankind a worshiper of Deity. But from whence arose this habit of re ligious worship? Did It have its rise in the demands of a religious element In human nature or did it originate in mere "belief"? The objector declares It had Its origin in "belief." The Christian speaks of "condemna tion for sin," and of the experience of "pardon." But these are said by the objector to be but the figments of a morbid or over-wrought imagination. For when the notion of an Invisible Supreme Being, ruling the world, has once become fixed In the mind, and when belief in that Being's anger with man, and that this anger may be appeased by some form of sacrifice and worship, have also become fixed, it Is easy to understand why such persons find com fort In worship, however crude. Their unhapplness Is said to be due to their superstitious and ignorant belief, and their comfort in religious worship Is due to an equally superstitious and Ig norant belief. Where unhapplness origi nates in "belief to be sure, "belief" will in every case remove the unhappl ness. Man assents to the belief that he Is a sinner, and that God will pardon him If he worships, and, naturally enough he finds comfort or "pardon," just as soon as he worships and believes God pardons him. All religious experiences are declared to be simply matters of theory not matters of fact, simply men tal Illusions due to -"belief." In reply to this objection, it may be observed, however, that the sense of condemnation for wrong-doing Is uni versal among wrong-doers. It Is as true of the child of heathen parents, as In the Christian family. It is as true of the unlettered African as of the enlightened American. Even heathen mothers, when consigning their babes to the Ganges, have done so with certain misgivings, so missionaries have told us. Bishop Taylor once said children In heathen lands 'have as keen sense of right and wrong as In Christian lands. The child ren of heathen parents are not heathen at first, but become heathen through the Influence of heathen teachers. Whence, then, this sense of Deity and his demand upon them? It arises spontane- j ously and Involuntarily in human con scientiousness, from the very constitution of human nature, when occasion for it occurs. The sense of duty and condem nation for evil may exist, and does ex ist, even before Deity, as such, is rec ognized. This point is nicely illustrated in an editorial In the January Methodist Review. It is there related of a child, now a strong man: however, who tells in his own words: 'When a little boy In petticoats, in my 4th year, one fine day .in Spring my father led me by the hand to a distant part of the farm, but soon sent me home alone. On tho way I had to pass a little 'pond-hole, then spread ing Its waters wide. A' rhodora in full bloom attracted my attention and drew me to the spot At the root of the flaming shrub I saw a little spotted tortoise sunning himself in the shallow water. I lifted the stick I had In my hand to strike the harmless creature; for though I had never killed any living thing, I had seen other boys, out of sport, destroy squirrels, birds and the like, and I felt a disposition to follow their example. "But all at once something checked my arm and a voice within me said, clear and loud, 'It is wrong.' I held my up lifted stick In wonder at the new emo tionthe consciousness of an involuntary but inward restraint upon my actions till the tortoise and the rhodora both vanished from my sight. "I hastened home and told the tale to my mother, and asked her what it was that told me It was wrong. She wiped a tear from her eye with her apron, and taking me up in her arms, said, 'Some men call it conscience, but I prefer to call It the voice of God in the soul of man. If you listen and obey it, then it will speak clearer and clearer and always guide you right, but if you turn a deaf ear or disobey, then it will fade out little by little and leave you all in the dark without a guide. Your life depends on heeding the voice.' " On the other hand, even the professed Infidel Is not devoid of the sense of right and wrong. How often does he flaunt his boasted moral excellencies in the face of professed Christians, whom he accuses of hypocrisy! He Is not utterly devoid of the movements of conscience, In the pres ence of temptation, nor Is he utterly defi cient In the sense of condemnation for evil-doing. All this occurs while he dis believes In Deity, The sense of duty ex ists, then, and also condemnation for evil, both before Deity is known, as such, and after Deity Is denied. Tho sense of sin Is therefore independent of mere "be lief." Condemnation arises in the act of diso bedience to the sense of duty. All normal minds recognize and experience It. Con demnation and remorse are forms of pain. Physical pain Is one of the realities of human experience, which fulfills an im portant office In life. It awakens In us the sense of self-preservation, and love of life, and prompts us to make efforts for relief. The emotions of fear and re morsealso forms of pain, and often con sequences of evil-doing likewise fulfill Important offices. They awaken and stim ulate the moral Impulses to put forth ef forts for relief, just as physical pain arouses the impulses for physical safety. The moral nature recognizes a superior authority back of the demands of con science. The moral nature is prompted by its Involuntary impulses to find relief from condemnation before that authority which has been affronted. The unhappy soul, therefore, worships. It worships be cause It is in the very nature of the soul to worship. Man eats to relieve the pain of hunger, and he also worships to re lieve the pain of remorse for evil-doing. The universal Impulse to worship, which exists among evil-doers in whom con science has not been destroyed, arises in the constitution of human nature, just as surely as does the Impulse to eat. Ig nore the Impulse to eat, and ruin of the physical nature follows; and let sinners Ignore the Impulse to worship God in spirit and in truth, and the -ruin of the religious element In them Is the result. The same may also be said of the neglect or abuse of the intellectual, esthetic, emotional and ethical elements in man's nature. But is pardon a figment of the imag ination? Hunger Is not a figment of the imagination. If anyone thinks It is, let them try satisfying it with a figment of Imagination. Hunger Is the outgrowth not of a theory, but of a condition. The universal impulse to eat seems to be a guarantee that -the pain of hunger will be relieved by eating. In a similar way we see ' condemnation for sin Is not a work of the Imagination. It is not the outgrowth of a theory, but of a condi tion. It Is an ultimate reality, and the Impulse to worship Is a guarantee that In worship will relief or "pardon" be found. Men, therefore, have faith in worshiping. Just as they have, in eating. But, it Is objected, some worship false gods. Yes, some erroneously personify Deity, but It proves nothing against the fact at Issue. Some men also eat very Inferior food, nevertheless, It Is well un derstood, tho best health depends upon the excellent quality of our food, and so the best character and Ufe depend upon the purest conceptions of God, and moral truth, and tht. strictest obedience to their demands.

Indications Are Exceptionally Fav orable for the Presence of Cop per In Paying Quantities. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. Not until the summer of 1900 did the Geological Survey make an extended and careful examina tion of the Copper River district of Alaska, with a view to determining its geological features and the extent of its mineral resources. A party consisting of F. C. Shrader, Arthur Spencer. T. G. Gerdlne, D. C. WItherspoon, and eight other men spent some months In the Chltlna copper district with a view of determining the extent and character of the copper deposits, ascertaining the num ber, character and distribution of the copper bearing formations, and gather ing all possible information with refer ence to the conditions of deposits of cop per, the amount and qaullty of the ores, and all questions having a geologic or economic bearing. The results of this trip have been extensively set forth in a report soon to be published. The geologic party, after making an ex tended examination, Is of the opinion that the Copper River region will eventually become of very great Importance as a producer of copper. The copper ores for the most part occur In association with what is locally known as Nikolai green stone. In some cases the metal occurs native, either filling former crevices in the green stone or in the form of stringers penetrating the parent rock, although the copper is not generally distributed through the rock. A second class of copper deposits, comprising the sulphides, occur In true fissure veins, and It Is on these deposits that tho future development of the region depends. The copper properties of the Kotslna and Chltlna regions are yet entirely In the Initial stage of development, and but small quantities of ore have been brought out for assay and mill tests. Many of these tests have been very satisfactory. It Is believed that when facilities for transportation are forthcoming many val uable mines will be developed In the dis trict. The very general distribution of the copper might be taken as an Indication that no large bodies of ore are to be ex pected, but the surface exposures are sufficient to show that In some Instances Immense ore shoots do occur. On the whole, says the report, It Is regarded as conservative to say that the Indications In the Copper River district are exception ally favorable for the presence of copper In quantities of sufficient Importance to warrant the expenditure of capital for very thorough exploitation. jCopper ores and native copper have been discovered In various localities with in the Kotslna drainage, good specimens being obtained on Clear, Barret and Elli ot Creeks, as well as on Rock and Copper Creeks, development work now being done on the latter. The deposits on both Rock and Copper Creeks are well situated for future development. They vary in thickness from one to three feet, t and, when assayed, give 30 per cent of copper, and occasionally small quantities of sil ver or gold. Several paying prospects are being worked along Strelna Creek. The ores comprise bornlte, chalcopyrlte and a na tive copper. Up to last Summer there had been no effective prospecting along the tributaries of the Kuskulana, but many evidences of rich copper deposits were discovered. In dications of copper discovered at several places lead to the belief that good dis coveries will yet be reported. At the Bonanza claim, between Kennlcott, Glacer and McCarthy Creeks, is exposd to the larg est and richest body of ore found thus far In the Chltlna region. Here the ore occurs in veins varying from two to seven feet In thickness. It assays 70 per cent of copper, with considerable yields of sil ver, and traces of gold. Rich deposits have also been disclosed at the Nikolai mine, on a creek of the same name, where veins from eight to 12 feet in thick ness are now being worked. Rich deposits of copper are reported at the headwaters of the Chltlna, and It seems probable that workable amounts will be found there. The natives also assert the occurrence of copper in the mountains between Hanaglta Valley and Chltlna River, though the localities can not be determined from their descriptions. The copper ores of Prince "William Sound have been attracting the attention of prospectors and miners for several years. The mode of occurrence is com pared, in a general way, to the copper deposits of Lake Superior. Copper claims have been located on various parts of the Sound, and by their general distribu tion prove the occurrence of ores through out the region. A. sample of ore taken from Latoucho Island yielded 9 per cent of copper, with some little silver. The Gladhaugh vein at Ellamar Is practically a solid mass of Iron and copper pyrites, with a width of more than 125 feet, where exposed. A sample assayed nearly 6 per cent of copper and a trace of gold. The only gold deposits which are known In the Copper River region are located at McKInley Lake, on the north side of the Copper River delta. At this place several veins of quartz have been opened and found to contain gold In varying quanti ties. Gold Is of general occurrence In the stream gravels throughout the district and along the adjacent shores of the Pacific Ocean, but has not been shown to be of economic Importance except in a few lo calities. Small yields have been procured In Fall Creek,- but It Is hardly probable that the placers of that stream will ever become Important producers. Placer gold was discovered In the tributaries of tho Chestochlna River In 1S99, when it Is esti mated a total yield of something over 510,000 was taken out. It Is believed, how ever, that several hundred prospectors have gone Into this section this year, with the hope of making rich strikes. Moderate beach diggings have been worked in the vicinity of Yakutat Bay, where a small amount of platinum Is said to occur with the gold. At various places along the shore of Kayak Island aurUerous sands are known to occur, but have thus far proved of little value. Within the Copper Basin and along- all of tributaries there is spruce timber In suf ficient amounts for all the purposes of mining. In the bottoms and on side hills the trees frequently reach a diameter of three feet, and would furnish good saw logs. Engineers who have examined the ap proaches to tho divide and the passes that cross I regard the Valdes route as practicable for the construction of a rail road to Copper River, After reaching Copper River, a line could be run to the copper districts of Kotslna and Chltlna Rivers, should future developments be equal to present Indications of their value. Eventually a line would also be extended to Eagle City, by way of Mantasta Pass, affording an ail-American rail route from the coast to the Yukon country. The writers of this report regard the con struction of a railroad to Copper River as very essential to the speedy and thor ough development of this field. As to Its richness they apparently have no doubt whatever. Reports From Foreign Fruit Markets George H. Lamberson, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, some time ago wrote to the American Consuls In a number of European cities, asking for Information in regard to the fruit crop prospects in their districts. This infor mation will be of interest to Oregon fruit growers, as Oregon apples, prunes and other fruit have of late years been shipped In large quantities to Europe. Answers to Mr. Lamberson's inquiries are now com ing in. Consul Roosevelt at Brussels writes that the Belgian fruit crop is like ly to be very good.

In the course of an extended Interview on the work past, present and future, of the Bureau of For estry in the Department of Agriculture, a prominent official of that bureau made the following significant remarks: "Fifty years ago the timber smpply of the country was estimated as well nigh inexhaustible. But the incessant drain which has been made by the wood-using world during that time has proven that even the vast resources of lumber have their limits, and that within a compara tively short time, unless precautions are taken, they will have been depleted. "There Is no computing the exact time when our timber supply will have been completely exhausted, according to the present rate of consumption, for the rea son that no one knows exactly what amount of lumber is grown In the coun try. It Is pretty safe to say, however, that within 'less than a century the trees available for commercial uses will all be gone unless steps are taken to replace them. "It is a source of much gratification to the department that owners of timber lands are placing their tracts under a protective management proposed by the Forestry Bureau. In this country there are some 50,000,000 acres of Federal forest reserves, owned by the Government, not by Individual citizens, and recently a re quest has been made upon the Secretary of Agriculture to have the Bureau of For estry outline working plans for the pro tection of these reserves against losses by fires and other depredations of human agencies. "The people of the country are at last aroused to the importance of protecting the forests. There can be no doubt about that. Owners everywhere are adopting the bureau's suggestions and the Govern ment has placed police forces, in the form of squads of rangers, throughout Its re serves, who have been assigned to the task of protecting the trees under Fed eral ownership. The Insufficient appro priations made by Congress In years past have not allowed the authorities to per form their work of protection as thor oughly as might be desired, but a great deal of good has been accomplished on a small amount of funds and the efforts to prevent fires In the forests have been at tended with a particularly gratifying de gree of success. "Of course the lumber of this country Is scattered all over the Nation, north, south, east and west. The greatest losses In the past, however, I believe have oc curred In the South and West, where lumbering has been carried on largely and where the forest fires have been frequent and destructive. Our plans contemplate the prevention of such fires and It will not be long before stringent means are adopted which will largely preclude the possibility of forest destruction by flames." How Globes Are Made. Boston Evening Transcript. First, the model Is covered with a thick layer of pasteboard In a moist state. When It Is dry a sharp knife Is passed around It so as to separate the pasteboard coat into two hemispherical shells' which are then taken off the model and united at the cut edges with glue. The hollow sphere thus formed Is the skeleton of the globe that Is to be. The next thing Is to cover It with a coating of white enamel, about one eighth of an Inch In thickness. When this Is done the ball Is turned Into a per fect roundness by a machine. The Iron rod running through the center of the original model, and projecting at both ends through the surface, has left holes In the new globe, which serve for the north and south poles, and through these a metal axis Is run to represent the axis of the earth. Then the surface Is marked off with pen cil lines Into mathematical segments cor responding precisely in shape with the sections of map that are to be pasted on. These map. sections are made from copper plates in just the size and shape required to flt the globe that they are Intended for, one set, of course, covering the entire spherical surface. They are printed, many of them, like dress pat terns, on sheets of tho finest linen paper, and are cut out carefully with a sharp pointed knife. When they have been pasted on the dif ferent countries are tinted by hand with water colors. Finally, the whole is over laid with a brilliant white varnish, which Is of almost metallic hardness, and will wear Indefinitely without scratching or losing Its brightness. Straight of Mr. Long's Apple Story. New York Evening Post. Washington. Secretary Long showed some amusement when he read the Bos ton letter In the Evening- Post in which the "little apples" story of the Massachu setts campaign of 1S91 was recalled. The story, the Secretary remarked, was good enough to be true, but, unfortunately, It was a pretty bit of campaign fiction. He remembered the speech referred to very well. It was before the Norfolk Club. But he did not say "the Republican party puts its little apples on top," never hav ing In mind any such designation for Mr. Allen, or. Indeed, what would have been the necessary Implication, for himself. What he did say was that. the Democratic party put its biggest apples on the top of DEPARTMENT CREAM CO. 382 WASHINGTON STREET the barrel Its candidate at that time wa3 Governor William E. Russell but would not, like the Republican party, bear In spection all the way through. There was no reference to Mr. Allen as a small ap ple. But some Democratic newspaper man shrewdly gave It that twist, and it was used in that way in the campaign. . GOING EAST?
