Pa-
Washington, July 20.— The report of
Captain Harry Taylor, o f the engineer
corps, w bo has chargo o f the river and
harbor work in the Northwest, has been
made to the secretary o f war.
The work on Willapa river and har­
bor, in Washington, has been com ­
pleted and twenty-one feet of water se­
oured, but some shoals need to be
dredged yet. No further appropriations
w ill be be required.
For tbe improvement o f Grays harbor
and bar, a plan for a jetty 8 % miles to
the sea on the south side of the harbor,
to secure a low-water depth of 24 feet,
has been decided upon, and contracts
w ill be let for tbe work.
It is reoom-
mended that the full amqunt permitted
by law — $400,000— be appropriated for
tbe next fiscal year.
In G ray’ s harbor and Chehalis river,
to carry tbe dredging to a depth of six­
teen feet w ill largely exceed the esti­
mate of oost.
The extersion o f the Northern Paoifio
railway to the lower-harbor towns is
said to have lessened the im por­
tance of tbe river as a highway, bo
that no ooasiing vessels have navigated
it above Cosmopolia since 1892, a n d it
is recommended that tbe plan for dredg­
ing a channel through tho shoals to
give coastiDg vessels access to Monte-
sano be reconsidered.
The importance of greater facilities
for keepng the rivers flowing into
Puget sound free from obstruction is
urged.
In connecting Puget sound
w ith Lakes Union and Washington,
the Sm ith’ s cove route ia favored, and
the engineer urges that preliminary
work be done before right of way ia
secured, and says that $500,000 can he
profitably expended during the year.
Tbe earnestnesa of the people of
Everett for pushing the work of their
harbor is commended, and $15,000 is
reoommended to be expended during
tbe fiscal year ending June 30, 1898.
The opening of Swinomish slough at
the earliest possilbe date is urged.
It is reported that the expense o f car­
rying out the project for removing
boulders, etc., from the Upper Colum ­
bia and Snake rivers is so great that it
should not be begun with the present
appropriation.
A
PO PU LIST PLATFORM .
D raw n up in C a lifo rn ia fo r the 8t. L ouis
C onventions
San Francisco, July 20.— F. M.
W ardell, chairman of the Populist
state central committee o f California,
and J. Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro’ s
secretary, have prepared a platform
which it is proposed to present to the
national Populist convention at St.
Louis next week. The financial plank
is as follow s:
“ W e demand a national money,
issued directly by the general govern­
ment only, as a fu ll legal tender for all
debts and issued w ithout the agency of
any private corporation or bank, and in
circulating volnme; subject to law and
responsive to our needs, and speedily
to be increased to $50 per capita of the
entire people.
“ Such money shall oonsist of gold,
silver and paper, each dollar thereof
endowed with the same function, im ­
parted solely by the stamp thereon,
and not dependent for its money value
upon the price of the material used.
Each dollar shall be interchangeable
with, but not redeemable in the other,
and shall be denominated respectively
gold, silver or paper money— all na­
tional debts being payable in either, at
the option of the government.
“ As the United States is a free and
powerful nation and the financial and
industrial liberty of its oitizens shonld
be independent of tbe action of any
other government, we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and sil­
ver by the United States at the present
ratio of 16 to 1, without referenoe to
the course of any foreign nation.
“ W e demand that all national banks
be abolished, and in lieu o f them that
the government establish a postal bank
in each oity, town and village of the
United States containing a population
of 1,000 or m ore.”
The platform also declares for the
recognition of Cnba and against the re­
funding of tbe Pacifio railroad debts.

tree to be found In the orchard from
which It is taken, though tbe larger
(Fig. 1) Is more nearly representative
than the smaller (Fig. 2). The tenants
on five adjoining farms ow ned by one
man, were furnished with a hundred
or more trees to the farm. Thus the
trees were all planted at the same
time, In similar soil, and from the same
lot o f trees, so that the only difference
must com e as a direct result o f the
planting, and after-care received. In
the best of these orchards there was ho
stinting In digging tile holes. The roots
were carefully spread, and the soil,
mixed with stable nianure, flnply
packed about them. Every winter the
ground has been covered with manure
taken directly from the stable, a few
extra forkfuls being thrown close about
each tree, and during the summer the
soil hns been cultivated In truck and
potatoes. These orchards are now
seven years old, and in this particular
