Carlton Farmers Pleased.
Carlton— The fine weather of the past
few days has started the farmers to
haying. The prospects are good for an
abundant yield.
Clover and vetch are
especially good, and it is expected that
the yield will be the heaviest in years.
In a few .ocalities the wheat was dam­
aged by the aphis, but generally the
crop is good. Fall oats were damaged
slightly by the cold late rains, but
spring cats are fine, and the yield will
be above the average.
Weston Wheat Flourishes.
Weston— The wheat in this section is
making rapid growth since the recent
rains, and will make a good average
yield.

San Francisco, June 22. — Two test
cases, brought by two women, who are
refugees from San Francisco, againet
the Palatine Insurance company, of
London, England, to recover $600 in­
surance money, were tried in Justice of
the Peace Quinn’s court in Oakland
yesterday and decided in favor of the
plaintiffs. Notice of appeal was given
in each case, and the matter will be
thrashed out eventually iu the superior
courts.
The defendant company announced
its intent to rest its defense on the le­
gality of the “ earthquake clause” in
the policies.
The judge said no evidence had been
produced showing that the loss was
caused by the earthquake.
The several commercial bodies of San
Francisco will meet Monday, June 25,
to organize a policy holders’ protective
association for tbs purpose of reenring
prompt and fair settlements for their
members from the various insurance
companies in which they hold policies.

La Grande— Machinists are busy at
the sugar factory overhauling the ma­
chinery and getting the plant in order
for the summer run for the working in­
to brown sugar of the residue syrup of
last year. The m ill expects to start on
this run early in July, and will con­
tinue for six or eight weeks, which will
bring it almost up to the time when
the regular fall run w ill commence,
which to meet demands must begin not
later than the middle of September.
The pressing need for this unusually
early beginning is brought about by the
exceptional heavy crop of I. ets that is
expected to be harvested this year and
which must be disposed of before the
hard frosts come; therefore an early
start is necessary to get all the beets
through.
Manager Bramwell is enthusiastic on
the present prospects ¿or a beet crop.
He says:
“ We have 4,400 acres of beets this
year and at leaBt 4,000 acres of this is
a perfect stand.
The only difficulty
that confronts us is the scarcity of
help. We employ all the white help
we can and then fill out with the best
we can get. In addition to our home
supply of help we have about 200 Jap­
anese.”
The yield of bedts for this year is es­
timated at between 35,000 and 40,000 PREDICTS M UTINY OF SAILO RS.

Washington, June 22.— Plane to be­
gin immediate criminal proeecutions
against officials of the Standard Oil
(0 upany ior violations of the Sherman
in ti trust law and prosecution against
t-tan lard Oil offiicals and high officials
ol railroads for violation of the Elkins
rebate law have been completed by the
administration, according to informa­
tion from a high authority tonight.
These plans, it is understood, were
considered at a mysterious meeting of
five cabinet officers at the White House
last night whieh aroused much specula­
tion in all circles today. It is said to
have been the intention to keep the
matter secret for a few days until the
departmtn*. of Justice was ready to
strike the initial blow.
Wali streei however, which seems
to get information from every conceiv­
able source, even When the seciet is
supposed to be confined to the presi­
dent and hie confidential advisers, got
a “ tip” today that Standard Oil and
the railroads were in for new trouble,
and on the strength of this stock tum­
bled. Reports from New York tonight
say that Washington had already heard
of the “ leak” and that steps had been
taken to locate it.
A person ot high au h irity declares
that the department of Justice, as a re­
sult of investigations conducted prior
to and since the Garfield report, has
enough evidence on hand to Becure the
conviction of high Standard Oil and
railroad officials under both laws under
which prosecutions are to be made.

then from one grnm of uranium 1,000,-
000,000 caloric could he evolved, which,
converted Into electric energy, would
suffice to keep n 32 candle-power lamp
burning continuously through the year.
By the expenditure of about one ton
of uranium, costing less than (5,000,
more energy would be derived than la
supplied by oil the electric supply-sta­
tions of I-ondon put together.
Much has been said o f late In favor
of the extensive cultivation of the black
locust, and one railroad company la
reisjrted to have planted nearly 1,500,-
OOO trees of this species, with the view
of utilizing their extraordinarily du­
rable wood. But Charles A. White o f
the Smlthsonlau Institution points out.
In 'the Popular Science Monthly, that
the black locust possesses a mortal en­
emy In a longlcorn beetle, which bores
the wood through and through. It Is u
native of the same regions In which
the tree flourishes, and de)>ends u ; k > u
the tree for Its own existence. When
|M>pulatlou flowed to Illinois and Iowa,
the black locust was taken along. It
flourished luxuriantly for some years,
until Its Insect foe followed IL and now,
says Mr. Wldte, nothing remains of the
great groves of black locust In the
Middle West except blasted remnants.
The tree, native east o f the Alleghenlee,
from New York to the (Julf, was h I ho
transplanted to Eurojie, wldtber Its
enemy has not followed It.

When the traveler stopped for lunch­
eon nl a small rullway eating house In
Georgln, says a writer I p . the Atlanta
Com-iitutlou, a diminutive colored boy,
coveied with some three ’ cet of soiled
apron, appeared and In noue too gentle
a tone announced that the hill of fare
was ham, eggs, corn bread and coffee.
A fter due deliberation, the traveler
said he would like soin? ham, eggs,
corn bread and coffee.
Such a pretentious order for one per­
son staggered the small waiter momen­
tarily. But he soon recovered, and as
he started toward the ktt.'heu he said:
“ How’ll yer hah deni eggs, boss, blind
or lockin' at yer?”
•‘lo o k in ’ at me,” replied the traveler,
feeling sure that eggs that were turned
over would be likely to he cooked too
long to be either palatable or whole­
some.
