O rchardiits Find It Most Trouble som e Pest in Noithwest. Black spot canker is one o f the most troublesome fruit pests o f the North- west and one which fruit growers inuBt understand and be able to recognize if they expect to make headway against it. During the fall the spores or "s e e d s " are lodged on’ the apples, being distrib uted by the wind or other agencies. Later, when the appleB are stored in cellars where there is an abundance of moisture “ sw eating" occurs, a condi tion very favorable for the germination o f spores. Black spot canker is responsible for the great part o f fruit rotting that occurs. The most effective treatment is a thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture in November, when the Bpores or seeds are floating in the orchard. Because the fungus gives such slight evidence o f its presence in the bark in the fall, and because so apparent in the spring, many orchardists make the mis take o f attempting to combat it in the spring after it has already gotten in the bark. Such treatment is ineffect ual, however. The spore must be killed before it has germinated. DEPOSIT TO BE MINED. Nehalem "B eesw a x" Has Been Found to Be O zocerite. That the product found in the sand at the mouth o f the Nehalem river, pop- ularly believed to be beeswax from a wrecked Spanish galleon, ia valuable substance known to chemistry as ozo cerite, was the statement made by J. J. Walter, president o f the Necarney City Hyrdocarbon Oil company, a cor- poration organized to exploit the pro- duct. For years visitors to that coast have picked up the wax-tike lumps that have strewn th e ' beach |there. The general opinion has prevailed that it was beeswax brought from Manila for one o f the Spanish settlements in Cali fornia and that the ship was wrecked there. The discovery was made as early as 1813 by the Indians.

The Missouri Supreme Court In State ex Inf. Hadley vs. Standard Oil Co., 116 Southwestern Reporter, 902- 1062, convicts the Standard OH Com pany, the Waters-Plerce OH Company, and the Republic Oil Company of New York of violating the anti trust laws of Missouri (Rev. St. 1699. c. 143 [Ann. St. 1006, Sections 8965, 8992]). We can only refer to a single Interesting point as to the Waters-Plerce Oil Com pany, a domestic corporation. A Judg ment of ouster was rendered against it, but the Judgment was ordered sus pended on proof that the company had severed all connection with the other corporations In maintaining a trust to control the price of petroleum, and would refrain from all such combina tions, and that It would furnish satis factory evidence of Its compliance with the Judgment, and Its Intention In good faith to cease all connection with the other condemned corporations, and carry on Its business In obedience to Its charter and the law. In attempted compliance with the Judgment, the di rectors of the company adopted a reso lution protesting that It had never knowingly violated any State law, but that It accepted the conditions of the decree, and expressed by such resolu tion Its willingness to abide by the same. The court holds that this reso lution was not only a failure to com ply with the conditions offered, but tended to show that the company was not able or was not Inclined to sever the trust relations and In fact com ply with the conditions of the decree. The Judgment of ouster, therefore, be came absolute and unconditional. A group of Navajo Indians under the leadership of IJl-a.-111-le threatened serious trouble on the Navajo reserva tion. On the representations of the Interior Department, the Secretary of War sent troops into the vicinity to serve as a repressing influence on thorn. Tne officer In command arrest ed Bi-a-lil-le and some of his followers. When the arrest was made, the troops were fired on by other Indians and the Are was returned. The Indians arrest ed were confined at hard labor for an Indefinite period, on condition that they could be released whenever It might be deemed wise to do so. In ex parte Bi-a-lil-le, 100 Pacific Report er, 450, the Supreme Court of Arizona reviews the judgment of the lower court refusing their discharge on ha beas corpus. As to the contention that they were prisoners of war and lawful ly held in military custody, the court maintains that confinement at hard labor is a characteristic of the punish ment of criminals, and not under the code of modern civilized warfare an incident of the detention of prisoners of war. Such a sentence was clearly inconsistent with the theory that they were regarded as prisoners of war. It was further urged that the Indians were wards of the government, subject to administrative correction of their conduct, and that the disposition made of them was pursuant to a long-settled policy. As to %his, the court say that, however salutary in its results and desirable such a method of dealing with recalcitrant Indians may be, it cannot be sanctioned unless Congress has conferred the authority. No leg islation was referred to expressly au thorizing such summary methods, and It was concluded that the court was In error In denying the writ of habeas corpus.

According to Mr. Spencer of the Canadian Geological Survey, the great spectacle of Niagara Falls as we see It to-day has been about 39,000 years In the making. Mr. Spencer, in common with other geologists who have studied Niagara, believes that originally the cataract fell Into Lake Ontario over three 3teps, or platforms, the first being thirty- five feet high and the third being at or near the edge of the lake proper, instead of seven miles hack up the river as at present, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It took the stream 35,000 years to hollow out the first three miles of the gorge, but only 4.000 years for the other four miles. The difference of time In these two stages of the erosion and of the cataract's recession of seven miles In all, Is explained on the theory of a sudden and enormous Increase In the volume of water, caused by seismic disturbance. Formerly the Niagara River served as outlet to Lake Erie only. After the upheaval the waters of Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior, which previ ously had debouched directly into Lake Ontario, were diverted by way of Lake Erie Into the Niagara River, swelling that stream to six times Its former volume Mr. Spencer's figures, of course, can be taken only approximately, as even contemporary authorities are at vari ance as to how far the falls of Niagara have receded during the last fifty years—some estimates making It 1.28 meters per annum, others 1.52 Moreover, while the United States Oeologbal Survey declares that the rate of recession of the falls has In creased during the last fifteen yeafs, the corresponding Canadian official re port shows that the rate has decreased some sixty-six centimeters per annum.
