Poit laud Or. , C on­ The Supreme Court ut I«os Angeles has adjourned lor the term. The (.treat Northern tunnel to Is» Unit in Oregon will be, when completed, 13,- lfiS feet long. The Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die after confirming a large list of appointments by the new Governor, L. C. Hughes. Pacific University at Forest Grove, Or., offers to erect a new building at a cost of $6(l,('l>), provid'd the citizens of tlie town will subscribe flo.OJJ toward it. The difficulties between the Columbia river fishermen and the eanners have been settled. The fishermen will re vivo 5 cents per pound. The run of fish is light. The British Columbia customs au­ thorities are at work on cases involving attempts to defraud tlie government by getting ingoods free, ostensibly for naval officers. There has been no gain or loss by either Mexico or the United States in tlie boundary surveys of the two eoiin- I tries, notwithstanding rumors to tlie contrary. Bricklayers at Victoria. B. C., have ' notified contractors they will not work Saturday afternoons, and the contract­ ors think of knocking oil'ou Saturday altogether. Tlie signals by heliograph on the sum­ mit of tlie ranges in Arizona, displayed bv the boundary surveying party, are I plainly seen in Yuma, although ninety miles distant. The San Diego and Pluenix railroad hasj effected an organization and filed a complaint in an action seeking to 1011 - demn land 10'J yards on cither side of tiie proposed road. Two eases have boon decided at Line- nix, A. T., against the Southern Pacific railroad—one for i 1H.00 l >, the other 11 ">,- 000. The suits were for deatli and inju­ ries caused by tlie company’s trains. John S. Kearney, who was conspicu­ ous for his sensational exp >se question­ ing the correctness of the ntainboul trot­ ting record, lias been twice arrested at Lodi on charges of jumping a !>oard bill. The Salt Lake police have arrested Dave Haynes and James Hubbard for counterfeiting. Iluvnes circulated the coin that Hubbard made. The latter w :e making «lies for half-dollars when captured. The Bradstreid mercantile agency re­ ports twenty-four failures in the Pacific Coast States and Territories for the past week, as compared with ten for the pre­ vious week and thirteen for tlie corre­ sponding week of last year. Eureka has sent one of its business men to Portland to urge the importance of building a railroad into llum lxddt county, and pointing out the advantages Portland will secure in controlling tlie commerce of a large and wealtv portion of California. A t Abiquin, N. M., lias been un­ earthed a forest of logs petrified into rich copper ore that averages til) per cent copper and thirty to forty ounces of silver to tlie ton. The logs seem to have floated in a mineral solution some time in the past ages. Governor Hughes of Arizona, who is the editor of the Tucson Star, declines to give his pardon to W . G. Brown and R. 0. Brown, editors of the Tucson En­ terprise. who have been convicted of litieling Brewster Cameron, although he was asked to do so by the Arizona Press Association. The inxlies of two of the four men re­ cently drowned in the Klamath river have been found. Valises were picket] up, containing letters addressed to James Waddle from relatives at Golden Citk, Mo. One of the bodies represented a man fi feet 4 inches tall and the other a man 5 feet 1» inches. The two looked alike in features. The only remaining building in old Celilo, Or., was destroyed by fire recent­ ly. I luring tlie tim e w hen Celilo was in its glory the house was known as the Krskine Hotel. This was the last re­ maining landmark of the lively times which were experienced 'luring the min- | ing excitements of Blackfoot, Owyhee and Salmon river. The suit of tlie Riverside W ater Com­ pany to prevent the diversion of wa'er from the Santa Ana river in the irriga­ tion season bv it. II. Sargent and others lias been decided against the company. The decision setll--s a controversy of many years' standing, and establishes the complete ownership of valuable prop­ erty in the bands of poor people as against the rich corporation supplying water to Riverside. A plan for the establishment of a na­ val training school at San Francisco is now being considered by tlie authorities at Washington. Captain E.

C a p ita l 8 to c k N A T IO N A L So soon as Eckels, the Democratic Comptroller of Currency, assumes hisdu- ties, Secretary Carlisle intends to reor­ ganize tlie system of examining national banks. He desires to prevent sueh dis­ honesty as was shown in the affairs of the banks which recently failed in Bus- ton, Philadelphia and Nashville, and for that purpose after redistricting tlie hanks so as to equalize the examiners' work lie will ask Congress to enact a law giving tlie examiners more power in looking out for tlie perpetrators of frauds. The abstract “ C ” report* made to the Comptroller of the Currency, showing tlie condition of all national banks in tlie United States at the time of the last call, Monday, March fi, have been pre­ pared at tlie Treasury Department. The aggregate resources were jjsM5fi,721,223. In this connection it is interesting to note that the gold coin held aggregates flH»,So7.2.lo, and the gold certificates 44,- 031),000. The loans and discounts have reached the enormous sum of 42,133,- 000,000. Among the liabilities are cap­ ital stock paid in ¡«(iSS.OOO.OOO and indi­ vidual deposits 41,751,000,000. Tlie Committee on Territories will tie- gin an investigation of the condition of the four Territories now knocking for admission as States early in June. Chairman Faulkner lias not yet made his selection of tlie subcommittee, but lie lias decided that the start w ill bo made from Chicago June 10, and lie ex­ pects to complete tlie work within one month from that date. Tlie committee will go direct to Utah, where it will look into the condition of affairs and then pass through New Mexico and Arizona. From these Territories the committee will return by way of Oklahoma. Short stops will he made at the principal cities in each of the Territories, and tlie com­ mittee will address itself to the consid­ eration of tlie material development of tlie country and the condition of the peo­ ple who comprise its inhabitants. Secretary Morton lias determined to devote his energies to furthering the con­ sumption of corn in Europe. He invites the co-operation in this work of ail man- faeturers of corn products, from whom lie desires as a preliminary step to obtain a full statement of the various kinds of products made from corn by the miinu- lacturers in each State, with a brief state­ ment as to their characteristics and ex­ cellence. Agent Mattes of Nebraska will st mi n Is« in Washington for a conference as to tlie carrying on of the work abroad. Among other tilings Mattes will be in­ structed to investigate tlie tobacco laws in force in European countries, known generally as “ lte g i," with a view of as­ certaining whether it is not possible to secure a freer market for tlie sale of American tobacco in foreign countries. Mattes will also investigate tlie subject of tlie sale of meat products in Germany and France— ascertain whether this trade is not seriously impeded in spite of the withdrawal of the restrictions on our in­ spected meat products by ttiose coun­ tries by local and municipal regulations. Tlie ninth annual report of tlie Civil Service Commission was issued the other day. The Commissioners urge that the classified service should lie extended as rapidly as practicable to cover every po­ sit ion in tlie public service to which it can lie appropriately applied. They ernest- ly desire that some such b ill as that in­ troduced in the laHt Congress to take fourth-class postmasters out of politics may become a law. The report contin­ ues: “ Ultim ately the system of pro­ motions in the departments must come under the immediate supervision of the commission in order to secure uniform­ ity and the best results. Very serious barm in our judgment results from al­ lowing the chiefs of divisions to be ex­ empted from examination, and we think they should be put under the general rule and be appointed by promotion within tlie service.” The report shows a very surprising growtli in the number of employes compared with tlie growtli in population. The percentage of the growth in public service in ten years is nearly double that of the population. The service classified for examination under civil-service rules has grown even faster in tlie same space of time, increas­ ing at the rate of iiixiut 130 per cent, so that, whereas only almut 11 per cent of the public service was removed from party politics in 1H83, about 21 per cent in 181)3 was so removed. The whole nom ls-rof places subject to competitive examination under tlie rules now is 42,- 112-8. ______ ________ W O RLD S $ 30,000 NO. 22. C A P IT A L . F A IR N O TES.

P la n t F ood is B ro u gh t In to a M or* A v a ila b le C ond ition for the U se o f the P lan ts. There are several results to be gained by thoroughly pulverizing the soil be­ fore planting the seed, j f this is done, in nearly all cases the seed w ill germi­ nate quicker and better, and plants will make a thriftier «tart in grow th. A cer­ tain amount of beat aud moisture is necessary to induce a good germination of the seed, and in a majority of cases this can lie secured by placing it in con­ tact with the soil, and a tine tilth will help materially in Ibis. Then when tlie soil is in gixxl tilth tlie fine, tender roots of the plants will l>e better able to pen­ etrate the soil to advantage. One ot tlie principal advantages game«! in pulver­ izing the soil is that the plant bxxl is brought into a more available condition for tlie use of tlie plants, and tliia helps m aterially in securing a better growth. In many cases, even in a thin cropped down soil, a much better grow th and yield can lie secured if tlie soil is pre­ pared in a fine tilth before growing tlie seed, and kept so during growth by fre­ quent cultivation, than would otherwise lie possible. By bringing tlie soil to a good tilth before planting, it is easier to keep it in a gixxl tilth afterwards while the plants «« ill make a vigorous start to grow. Thoroughly fining tlie soil aids it to retain moisture as well as to draw it from the subsoil by capillary attraction. W hile fair crops may til* grown in a rich soi! with indifferent preparations, the best growtii ami yield is onlv possible bv having tlie soil in a fine tilth before planting the seeds, and then keep it thoroughly so during growtli by shallow surface cultivation. Thizputs the avail- aide plant fuod in a condition to he taken up by tlie growing plants, and helps materially in supplying the neces­ sary moisture. The more thoroughly (lie soil is prepared tiefore planting, the less work w ill be necessary to keep it in a goixl condition afterwards; hence, it is good economy to take time to prepare thoroughly before planting the seeds, and it will lie less work to maintain a goixl growth. A FREqUENT MISTAKE IN FEEDING. When an unusually long journey is to be undertaken it is customary, with many people, to give an extra quantity of grain immediately prior to starting, and it may be to subjects indifferently fed and irregularly exercised; or, in other words, those in poor condition. Even though precaution is taken in driving slowly wo often find, as veteri­ nary surgeons, that such is the history of cases we are called upon to treat of horses suffering from that frequently fatal affection. After journeys of unu­ sual length, or exertion of any kind, tint same danger is to be encountered from the fatigue resulting, anil consequent In- Ability on tlie part of the digestive or­ pins to operate upon an ordinary feed Of grain, much less an inordinate one, which is only too frequently provided tinder such circumstances. A horse in a tired state is more safely fed on hav nntil rest lias been allowed for from half 1111 hour to two hours; for all they w ill lie likely to consume of thiB more easily digested fodder will not so readilv over­ tax the stomach. When much depres­ sion has resulted from fatigue, a pail of thin gruel will soon revive tlie animal, 0*1 account of its txfing readily absorbed and getting into the blood, and being nutritious in character as well. MISTAKES OF STOCKMEN. Farmers, and especially stock raisera, often fail Ix-cause tlie proprietor at- tempts to do everything himself. Ha works early and late, is always worn out, and consequently nothing is well done. On a large stock farm two hired men can lie profitably used. It ¡ b ini|x>rative that the stix-k lie looked after at night, es|>ei;ally during spring months when voting animals are being constantly born. No one man can do all this work, neither can a man work all day and jiart or most of the night as the case may require. Arrange the work so that if the hired man stays up witli a sick animal, a farrowing sow, etc., he can the next day get time to make up lost sleep, otherwise he will be in no condition to do his work thoroughly and skillfully. Of all the men alxiut a farm, the pro prietor or general manager needs the most rest, in planning the day’s work lie needs a clear head. Hence it is necessary to success to have some one to do night work. Usually seven or eight hours is sufficient for a mature man. Boys under twenty-five require more. It is only bv giving strict attention to tlie demands of nature that the stock­ man's jiowers can be used to the best advantage. VALUE OF INQUIRING. Feeding is often done at random. The food supply is used without reference to its adaptation to the needs of the ani­ mal. This exhibit* a lack of thought­ ful inquiry. Every young man, by ask­ ing questions anil by reading hooks and palters, acquires a considerable fund of information which is capital in his busi­ ness of general farming or raising live stork. It is by the pmjter use of the long evening* at this time of the year that his foundation for future sun-ess is laid. It is likewise true that the m id­ dle-aged man, by tlie same course, main­ tains his strength of purjxMe and is able to hold his own w itli improved condi­ tions. In the past there are many ex­ amples of men who have succeeded grandly by their own thoughts »m l plans and the knnwlnlgc they have picked up by diligent use of the means at their aisposal. NOTES.
