While on the apricot subject we quote the fol lowing from the California Fruit grower of recent date: "Apricots am so very scarce this year and selling at such high prices that the price of pits! is booming. Thirty dollars and up to $35 a ton has ben paid for apricot pits. There will be but very few cars of kernels to be had this year, one dealer estimating a product of from seven to eight cars, with present val ues In the neighborhood of 12 "g cents per pound and liable to go higher."

All Industrie Are Confronted With Sliortnee of Help. laboring men are wanted badly to , complete the grading on the North Yakima & Valley railway, says the I Yakima Republic. The work will be completed In two weeKs If help can be secured, but with the coming on of the. wheat harvest, the fruit season and the haying season, It looks as if It will be more than two week" before i the grading will be completed. Only 14 men are now reported to he work ing there and the wages paid are the highest In the history of the north west for that class i.labor. The men are receiving $2.50 per day and are criarged $4.50 per week for board. At the present time nil classes of lr.-lutry are feeling the need of labor In the aklma vallev. Farm heln Is wanted more than any other kind, still men can find work at almost anything they are looking for. Farm hands are paid from $35 to $40 per month and board. This fact is what "stumps" the eaMern farmer when he first comes to Yakima to make his home. He was not used to such wages In the eastern states and It is some time , before he can see the necessity of pay- lug them here. The beginning of the wheat harvest In eastern Washington has taken all the surplus floating population there for the time being. High wages have been paid, but It Is reported that there is such an Influx of wagc-earn- wag.s have been reduced. This will probably bring some of the men to the aklma valley. Just now they are badly needed In the hayfields, where they are paid $2 a day and board. All the available men who want to worn are picked up on the streets of the city and hustled off to the farms as fast a- they come in. Some of the farmer have been rlelaved conslder- naye Deen u5ln& JrP". hut the latter i aie ,Pcarce nt Present. Wltn the n"ar approach of the hon. Di(-K:inff season ft Is feared that there w!" he a "hor'age of help that may I ""eriere seriously with the harvestlni of the crop. With the establishment or the canning plant here many peo ple who used to go into the harvest neiris win rind work at home. The cannery. It Is said, will probably em ploy several hundred young people during August and September ami win drnw rnosty 'rom the class that for racn' "ent "' the hopyards. The inaians are gradually dwindling In numbers each year, so far as hop picking is concerned. With all these things to be considered, the outlook for help In the fields and orchards In the Yakima valley this fall Is not very encouraging. Benton county, Wash., Is Infested with horse thieves. Often The Kidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work. VnhtMhy KldnCyS Mk Impure It used to be considered that onlv urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneysare weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and now every organ seems to fail to do its duty. it you are Bick or " icel badly," begin H'"8 ,th?

Rio do Janeiro, July 21. The third r.in-Amerlcan congress was opened here today without flourish or elab orate ceremonies, but with simple dig nity, as becomes a gathering of rep resentatives of a number of republics. William I. Buchanan, of New York, the head of the United States delega tion, and as such representing the state department in Washington, D. C, called the congress to order and delivered a brief address In which he gave n history of the first two Pan American congresses and of the re sults accomplished by them. Senor Don Joaquin Nabuco, ambassador ex traordinary and plenipotentiary of Brazil, .who heads the Brazilian dele gation, also delivered an address, wel coming the foreign delegates from the sister republics to Rio de Janeiro. The opening session was brief and was mainly devoted to the arrange ment of the preliminaries of the con gress. The question of the time of the session, the order of business and other details came up for considera tion and were referred to committees, which will report to the congress at the next session. After the prelimi naries are definitely settled, the pro gram of the subjects to be considered by the congress will be taken up. The consideration of the scope and limi tation of the subjects will probably consume the entire time of several sessions. Besides the United States ull the South and Central American republics represented at the second Pan-American congress are represented at the present congress, excepting Venezue la, which has sent no delegates. Va rious reasons are given for the fail ure of Venezueln to send delegates. According to one statement, President Castro refused to appoint delegates, because he suspected the United Stales of designs upon the Independence of the other American republics nnd feared that the congress had been ar ranged merely In the Interest of the plena of the United States. Another version Is that the real reason for President Ciistro s attitude Is merely his disappointment that Rio de Jan elro and not Caracas was selected as tile place for holding the congress. The delegation of the United States consists of William I. Buchanan, of Nev, York, formerly minister to Ar gentina and first American minister to Panama, who was also one of the American delegates to the second Pan- American congress, held In Mexico In 1002; Edmund J. James, president of the University of Illinois; Leo S Itt.we. urofessor of political economy, University of Pennsylvania; Tulle. Lar rlnaga, civil engineer of Porto Rico; James S. Harlan, of Illinois, son of Associate Justice John M. Harlan, of the United States supreme court; t'harles Ray Dean, of Illinois, now chief of the bureau of appointments of the department of state, Is secre tary of the delegation, and Frank L. Jnannlnl, official translator of the bureau of Insular affairs, war depart ment, Is official interpreter. Among the delegates of the other American republics are Senor Walker Martlncz, the Chilean minister to the United States, representing Chile at the congress; Soldero Baborano and Fouslno Davlla, representing Hondu ras; Manuel Delgado and Francisco Antonio Reyes, representing Salvador; Dr. Casasus, representing Mexico. Sec retary of State Root will arrive here next Wednesday and will remain here 12 days, before he will proceed on his way south. He will attend some of the sessions of the congress, but not as regular delegate of the United States. The program of the congress, which has been practically agreed upon at the preliminary meeting In Washing ton In March, will Include sanitary and quarantine regulations, uniformity of patent laws, International recogni tion of diplomas .and of practitioner. of the learned professions, questions affecting commercial Intercourse, and an International railroad. Jt la also expected that the so-called Drago doctrine, which is opposed to the for cible collection of private debts by one nation from another, will come up for consideration in some form. Monster Englnm for U. P. An engine of the 200-class, tiew to the mountain division of the Union Pacific, was received by the company and will be tested In hill climbing be tween Cheyenne and Laramie, says the Cheyenne Tribune. The engine Is of the simple type with cylinders 28 x30, a somewhat longer stroke than those of the 1600 and 1900 classes. It Is claimed the engine enn handle 200 tons more than the compounds and the experiments will bo watched with Interest.
