Another Attempt Made to Settle the Vexed Puyallup Indian Res ervation Question. Tli Hnnaa Committee on River and lUrimra hu decided to recommend the contract system for the continuation of the improvement ot lluuiboiut narnor, California. Tha House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds has acted favor ably on the following public building bills: Spokane, Wash., 150,000; Chey enne, Wyo., 1100,000. The Washington Senators expect to have a sub-port of entry established In the Puget Sound collection district at some point on the Columbia river with in a short time. The Treasury Depart ment is considering the matter. Rpcretarv Noble has rendered a deci sion in the case of Wentill Grant against the Northern Pacific, in which he holds in favor of Grant. The land involved is located near Spokane, Wash., and Is said to be very valuable, ine case nas Deen before the department nine years. The Washington delegation has been asked by Henry Hewitt Of Tacoma tose- . . -.lt. I. til cure In the present river anu naroor uui a provision for a survey ol the Snohom- leh river, witn a view u us improve ment.

Leavy, appraiser of merchandise in San Francisco, for com plicity in the recent frauds at that port In connection with the undervaluation nf silk goods imported by Neuberger, KeisdtCo. The action is the renin oi the investigation by Solicitor Hepburn and Special Agent Ingle. The case of Mr. Leavv Is In the nanus oi ine U inte states Attorney in San Francisco. The Port townsend Chamber of Com pierce still keeps up its record in the way of petitions and memorials. The latest was presented by Senator Allen the other day, anking that all matters arising in Alaska which come under the Jurisdiction of the United States Court may be eierred hereafter to the Wash jngton courts instead of Oregon, as at present. It there has neen anvwnng that the Port Townsend Chamber ol Commerce has not petitioned for, it is something it has not heard of. The Superintendent of Census has is sued the following statistics of cereal production in Oregon' and aslungton lor the census year nded May 31, lHilii: Oregon Wheat. IWt,27i) acres, ,2iM.224 Mishels; oats, ZIHJM acres, o,UiH,W4 bushels; barlev. 37,8 '3 acres, 87,n6.t bushels. WashingtonWheat 372,(18 acres, ,S45.42t bushels ; outs, (io,!""' acres, 2 273,182 bushels; barlev, 61,ti acres, 1,C!,1 40 bushels. In addition to the foregoing were corn, rye ami ones wheat, sgitregating lll.HK) acres in Ore iron and 1 1,373 seres in Washington. In Oregon the total area in cereals has in creased since IH7U from 032,871 acres to 8211,006 acres, not including at least 27, oOO aens. mainly in Wasco and Gilliam counties, on which the crops were either destroyed hv drouth or cut lor torage. In Washington the total area devoted to cereals aggregated 5Hj,t71 acres, as cont oured with 13t).1)37 acres at tenth census. Tha addition to the acreage In wheat represented 80.03 per cent, of the total Increased acreage, Contrary to general expectation, the Geary Chinese bill went thiough the House under a suspension of the rules, Senator Dolph was asked if he would give any expression upon the subject, and declined to do so. He said the bill as amended would now come to the Sen' ate. and would probably go to the Com, mittee on Foreign Uelations. Geary says that the bill must go through the Senate, or every man who uvea in a State where labor is employed will lose the support of the laboring men. The bill is certainly severe in Its method, and is believed by some to be unconsti tutional and in viola' ion of all treaty right. Thia matter will be taken into consideration hv the Committee on For eign Atralrs, and perhaps a compromise measure may be reached which will keep out the great bulk of Chinese and yet work no violation of international law. The Senate will no doubt be more con servative than the House in considera tion of this matter, for as a matter of fact the great body of the House never had an opportunity either to discuss or understand this Chinese hill, Mr. Chlpman from the Committee on Foreign Alfaira has sported favorably to the House his joint resolution direct ing the President to Inform Congress whether by the laws and regulations of the Empire ol Russia concerning Jews any American citizen ol that faith is subjected to restrictions as to residence and business in that Kmpire which vio late the provisions of the treaty nf 1832 between the United Si ates and Russia. The report states that this subject is one of great concern to the people of the United States, as it seeks to ascertain the status of American citisens of the Jewish faith in Kuia. F.very citisen of the United Sta rs, says tha report, is entitled at home and abroad t "exact the treatment and protection which are the full rights of cilsenshlp and nf the con stitution and our treaties with the for eign powers, and our government can make no distinction based o the birth places of citisens, nor can it permit such distinction to be made by foreign powers. It is not the religion nr race ot a person, but his American cittsenahip which i the real test of the treatment he ehi'll receive and the rights he shall enjoy in other countries. Another attempt is being made to set tle the vexed Puyallup Indian reserva tion question. Senator Dawes has in troduced a bill providing an appropria tion of $.'5,000 to pay the expenses of a commission, which shall determine the rights of individual Indians who have taken allotments and also secure a list of unallotted lands within the reserva tion. This commission is to make a plat of all lands, appraise the value of each tract and make a report to the Secretary of the Interior, If the report is ap proved, then the commission la to lie authorised to sell the lands at auction owned by the lndians,aud also the lands which have not been allotted adjacent to the city ol Taoma are to be laid out into lots and sold, the money to be de posited in the United States Treasury snd draw Interest for the Indians at ths rate of ft per annum. This would prob ably dispose of the Indians' allotted lands on the reservation, but there is yet a question to be considered. This is re garding the contract made by Indians who bold lands in severalty with other persons, and who claim that they have a distinct right on the lands, and that their contracts made with the Indians shall be drat considered. It is evident that in anything done with the Puyallup lands esnsiderabls litigation will follow. BEYOND THE ROCKIES Western Union Will Appeal From Justice Brewer's Decision.

This is in additioa to some 5V0OO,OO0 in silver dollars and 135,000,000 in gold. The electric plant at the Yirginins mine in Colorado, 12,500 feet above the sea level, has reduced the expenses ol mining to a wonderlul degree. The ex pense lor coal formerly averaged $100 a day. The present poaer is furnished by the water obtained at Red Canyon creek, four miles from the mine. Representative Warner ol New York, Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Manufactures, appointed to make in vestigation into the so-called "sweating system," who, In company with Repre sentative Hoar of Massachusetts, went to Chicago to farther pursue their in vestigation, has returned to Washing ton.

II Dairying Experiment Made at the Illinois Station. OLEOMARGARINE IS INDIGESTIBLE. Early Vegetation and Flowering Plants Being Damagid Considerably by Slugs or Snails. Bulletin No. 18 of the Illinois agricult ural experiment station is devoted to dairying experiments. The tests oi aairy cows at ine Illinois Stata Fair and the American dairy show. Chicago, 181H, were made by the chem ist of the station, ana tne bulletin con tains a report noon the tests and upon the working dairy maintained at tbe dairy show. Continuing tne investigation oi milk tebts, the Babcock test is found to be of great value in testing both the skim ... .... I . . :n. , : i milk ana me uuiw-r uin, iuua nirmwi- ng a check upon the processes ol butter- making. The results obtained empha size the necessity of proper attention to both the temperature and acidity of the cream when churned. A device for measuring the acid used with the Babcock test is explained, and an Illustration of the device is given. Also a method of marking test bottles is given. Further investigation has been made of the method of testing milk by "com posite" samples In which no preservative has been used tbe sample, though sour, being put into condition for the test by the nse of concentrated lye. The prac tical results have been very satisfactory. In trials of different methods of cream separation the best results with Cooley cans, in which the milk was set ten inches deep, were obtained wnen tne milk stood forty-tight nours. rsutthe most complete separation by setting the milk was obtained when the milk was set three inches deep in pans for twenty fair hours. The results from the work on cream- raising by dilution show: 1. That with rich milk and with that from a new milch cow the cream rose as completely when the new milk was quickly cooled to 70 degrees Fahrenheit without the addition oi water as it aiu when diluted with an equal quantity of water. 2. The rising of the cream was more complete in a given time, and was has tened by diluting tne mux irom cows that were not fresh, or that gave a con siderable quantity of average milk. Oleomargarine Mot Healthr. Many people have an idea that oleo margarine is as healthy as butter. Some will say, "I had rather eat it than poor butter," forgetting that pooromier never travels in a false and dangerous disguise, but alwava advertises itself for iust what it is. Hence no one need be deceived by poor butter. As to the health- fulness of oleomargarine rrol. uiark oi Albany. N. Y.. made a thorough exami nation of the article, and reported there on to the State Dairy Commissioner of New York. As a result of his invest ga- tions he concluded that oleomargarine was unhealthy for four leading reasons : 1. Because it is indigestible. 2. Because it is insoluble when made from animal fats. 3. Because it is liable to carry the germs of disease into the human system. 4. Because in the eagerness of manu facturers to produce this spurious com- pound cheaply they are tempted to nse ingredients which are detrimental to tbe health of the consumer. Colman'i Rural BrorWsays of it: The men who sell oleomargarine claim that it is pure and clean and good and the poor man's butter, but they take good care to sell it for butter and thus impose it by deception and fraud upon every in dividual that buys it. They claim that it is made under the inspection of gov ernment chemists, but it is not. The government employs no one to inspect the stuff either at the factory or at the store ; all that its officers do is to collect the licenses and the tax. The manu facture and sale of the oleo is driving butter out of the market and compelling farmers to dispose of their cows. It will always be sold fraudulently as butter until a law is passed compelling the manufacturer either to color it pink or to sell in its natural color, and this is a matter our farmer legislators must see attended to. 1 A Rented j tor Slugs. Early vegetation and flowering plants are being damaged considerably this year by slugs or snails, and Prof. Wash burn, entomologist at the experiment station, has been appealed to for a rem edy, lie says: These pests feed at night, and during the day remain con cealed under rubbish, stones, old wood, etc. The following remedies are recom mended : 1. Spread fresh wood ashes on the ground around the plant infested. 2. Do the same with a mixture of fresh wood ashes and fresh slacked lime. 3. Dusting paria green over the plants and on the ground about the plants. This shonld not be used on vegetables or anything which is to be eaten. 4. Place fresh cabbage leaves on the ground among the plants infested, and leave them over night. The slugs will feed upon them and nide beneath them, many of them, and can be found there in the morning and killed. It would help probab y to poison these leaves by dusting paris green over them thickly. 5. Punch holes, with perpendicular sides, six inches deep and two inches in d'ameter plentifully in the ground among the plants infested. Many sings will fall into these holes during the night, and, being unable to get out, will be. found there in the morning and killed. The eggs of this pest can be found in large numbers now and later in moist earth, under old boards, in sod, etc. They are clear whitish or yellowish and in bunches of six, ten or more. They shonld be destroyed whenever found by crushing.
