REPORT SENT TO PRESIDENT Ratsa by Government Railroad Mutt be Very Low to Offset Lois In Handling. Han Francisco, May U. A matter of great commercial Importance to the raclfic coAst is discussed In a report that Iian bn prepared for the informs tlon of President Iloosevelt, Secretary Tsft, of the War department, and J. I.. Ilrlstow, a special commissioner Ap pointed by 1'rosldcnt Roosevelt to visit this coasI And acqulro facts, Thequcs tiou refers to the utility of the Panama route for tlm movement of freight be tween Kan FrAiiclsco and tlm Atlantic states. The report was submitted to W. It. Wheeler, W. J. Dtilton and Itufus P. Jennings. It was Adopted by tlm trustees of tho chamlier of com merce anil forwarded to Washington in printed forn by the chamber. Tho report says In part: "Tho present freight schedule via Panama is apparently based on tho overland railroad freight schedule, tho charges of tlm former varying from 78 to 10 h:t cent, with an avuragetof about H'J per cent of tho latter; in other words, the differentials in favor of the Panama route, with Its 30-day trip as compared with the transcontinental route with its M-dny trip, aro so small that the shipper either east or west docs not consider the saving sufficient to cover tlm risk of damage or hrenkngo in tho necessary several handlings of goods via Panama. "Cniler government ownership of tho Paiiaiiia railroad and tho sea route to New York from Colon, tho only ques tion to bo considered would bo whether tho freight rates could he made suffi ciently low to make the saving on trans portation cxpcnioi an object to the ship per and enough to offset tho additional time required in transit." GOOD MEN QO UP. Forestry Service Is Improved Under Civil Servlco Rules. Washington, May 0. Up to a lew mouths ago tho forestry service, includ ing forest insiKctors, forest suvrin tendouts, (orest assistants and forest ranger, wero outside the classified ser vice, and tho positions paying all the way ironi 7.'U to l.'.ooo a year wero prey for Influential ollticlans. As was to Iw exK-clel, many lnconiH;tcnts wero loaded onto tho government, and there was much complaint liecauso of tho inefficiency of the forestry forco. December 17, 11)04, tho president brought the forestry under civil service protection; soon thereafter congress transferred forest reserves to tho con trol of the department of Agriculture, and now (51 fiord Pinchot, chief of the forestry bureau, who is actually in charge, is inaugurating reforms which he believes will greatly Improve tho servlco In every way, Tho Koosovult Idea Of promoting good men Is being applied, and tho higher iKMdtions in tlio forestry service are hereafter to bo tilled by the promotion of cometent men in tho lower posi tions. In the new servlco tho osi lions will bo graded as follows: Forest supervisor, 11,800 to l!,o00 a year; deputy forest aiiervlNor, 1 1,600 to f 1, TOO n year; (orest ranger, f 1,200 to 91. 400; deputy (orest ranger, 1 1,000 to $1,100; assistant (orest ranger, 800 to $1)00. Persons who wero in the (orestry service on tho dato of tho president's order wero carried under civil service protection; hereafter all appointments will Ihi made after examination of ap plicants and preference will be ulven to local men, selecting rangers and su pervisors, when practicable, from tho states in which they are to bo em ployed. Copper Found In Helena. Unite, Mont., May D. A minor from Helena says rich copper ore was itncov crcd today within tlm limits of Helena Tho lead ol tho rod metal was found adjoining tho Pursoll llmo quarry, on tho cast side of the town, tho lead be ing worked by tho Alberta Mining company. Sixteen Inches of very rich oro la in tho lend and tho discovery created no little excitement, borne of tho oro was "blistered" in a black smith's forgo nnd the copper and Bllver wore very distinguishable. Tho oro runs $76.31 to tho ton. Propose Boycott on Franco. Toklo, May 0. A mombor of tho chamber of commerce ot this city has written to that oiganixntion suggest ing organised commercial retaliation on Franco on acocunt of tho hospitality shown by her to tho second Russian I'aclfla squadron, Tho writer proposes that tho chambers of commerce through out tlio empire net jointly in boycotting tho goods of French merchants.

Bccrctary Taft today cabled Uoveronr Davis, at Pana ma, to return nt onco to tho United Htatcs, placing Colonel Uorgas In charge of tho Administration of the canal xone until tho arrival there of Governor Magoon. Governor Davis is suffering from malaria, and his phy sicians advised him to Icavo the Isth mus to recupcrato. lie has resisted their appeals, however, (earing that his sudden departure at a time when tho health conditions on tho isthmus ant advene would be mlsumlertsood. Tho secretary plans to have the ex ecutive commlttto of tho canal commis sion, consisting of Chairman BhonU, Governor M spoon and Chief Knglneer Wallace, sail for the Isthmus on May 10. It will be followed by the remain ing members of the commission July 1 and the entire body will make a thor ough examination of conditions on the Isthmus, with particular reference to tho formation of plans for canal con struction. It will consider the import ant question of tide level or lock canal. These plans will be submitted through Mr. Taft to the board of consulting en gineers, which will bo called In session tor the first time In Washington Sep tember 1 or 16 next. , Mr. Taft feels that two months will bo sufficient to ensblo the board to form final plans ujion which can be based a presidential recommendation to con gress at the next session. STORM IN INDIAN TERRITORY Fierce Wind and Rain Demolishes Buildings and Ruins Crops. Muscogee, I, T., May 8. Several tiersons are reported killed, many in jurod and much damage wrought to proiKtrty as a result of the flerco wind and rain storm in various parts of In dian Territory. Wires are down and names ami details aro lacking. At Owl, 26 miles southwest of Bouth Mc Alestcr, eight persons aro said to have In-en killed and a doxen injured. At that place nearly every building Is re torted wrecked. Among tho buildings demolished wss tho town school. Pro fessor Hinson, a teacher, is reported fatally hurt, and many pupils are said to have been injured. It is believed none of them will die. Among the buildings wrecked wero a church, which was totally demolished; three business houses and 20 residences. A sjK'clal from Welch, I. T., says that a terrific storm ewept over thn. part of the territory, and that several persons were injured, some ol them seriously. In the central and northern part of Indian Territoiy, tho worst-rain storm In years was experienced. Crops were ruined and many homes in the low lying country were flooded. 2EMSTVOISTS IN SESSION. Demand Election of Popular Mem bers on Bouligan Commission. Moscow, May 8. Tho most ambitions and thorough project of the new govern mental organization contemplated by tho rescript ot Match 3, namely, a pop ular assembly, is being discussed by tlm second Zcmstvo convention, which opened hero today. The first day was devoted to explanations and familiaris ing members with tho various details of the progiam, making clear points in doubt. Tlio project waa exceedingly well received by tho delegates and probably will be adopted in its main linen by tho congress. It is noticeable that the program confines itself cntlvely to tho proposed representative assembly, not mention ing tho executive, tho intention being to avoid any attempt at definition or limitation or tho powers of tho em peror. lteforo beginning tho discussion of the project, tho members adopted a resolution favoring participation by tho iRMjplu In tho work of tho Bouligan commission, only If tho popular repre sentatives aro elected, and not selected, and aro given an equal voice with the government representatives. It was also resolved that tho deliberations of tho commission should be subject to tho broadest publicity nnd that, as a necessary preliminary to any satisfac tory result, tho abolition of mnrtlal law and the establishment of the right of assembly and freo expression ot thought by word and press should bo declared, Raid Japanese Coast. Tokio, May 8. Four Russian tor pedo boat destroyers from Vladivostok appeared westward of Hokkaido, oft 8utsu yesterday. They sclxed and burned a small sailing vessel and im prisoned tho captain and disappeared to tho northwest. They wero evi dently returning to Vladivostok There is a possibility that they have destroyed other small craft, although no reports to that effect have been re ceived. Tho object of their visit is net clear. It la thought they hoped to torpedo the Japanese patrol. r y Oyama Ready for Russians. Fenshnshhien, Manchuria, May 8, Field Marshal Oyama ecema ready to assumo tho offensive on n largo ecalo and activity already has begun on General Llnievitch'a left. This may bo tho prelude to another general tbat tlo. Tlio Japaneao havo concentrated heavy columns on the Liao river, and their advanco divisions have been in contact with tho Russians, who aro holding tho main road from Fakonian to Bashlenchen. British, Trade Statistics. London, May 8. Tho April state ment ot tho board ot trade shows a decroaso ot (4,004,600 in imports and an increase ot $3,208,000 In exports. TftvmmyRif? JCvsy Vj yirr . --,- "- - A Hand Harden Cart. No one realizes how bandy a small cart Is on the farm until one has used it; the wheelbarrow Is all right In It plsce, but there are time when the band cart answer the purpose much better. The Illustration shows bow one of these carta may be made with a little lumber and any old wheels from a mower one may have. If there are no such wheels and shaft on the farm, the local blacksmith can prob ably supply the want from articles ot the kind that come to htm. The Il lustration shows plainly the mode of construction. Have a box of convenient size, being careful not to make It too large, else It cannot be pulled except with con siderable effort when filled. The width will, of course, depend upon the length of the axle. Thills may be msde of any suitable material, If one cannot obtain a made pair, and If they arc homo constructed It will be easy to bring the outer ends nearer together by placing a two-Inch block between the ends next to the box and the box. At the front end of the box a strip of bonn! Is placed, to which the single tree is attached. No Cabbage Bnake. Recently an absurd fear has devel oped In the minds of some eaters of cabbages relative to the so-called "cab bnce snake." The superstition Is that the snake poisons the cabbages and so renders them unfit to eat. The exist ence of such a creature Is denied by our scientist, but so prevalent Is the belief that at least one experiment sta tion Las Issued a circular denying the existence of the so-called snake. In some parts of the country a small whitish eel-worm" has been found to Infest cabbages. The larvae of this worm prey upon tho common green cabbage worm, and hence are doubt less a benefit rather than a detriment to the cabbage-growinR Industry. 8ome of the more superstitious people In the Bouth Imagined that these worms poi soned the cabbages, and tests were made by scientific people to clear up the matter. Extracts were made from the worms and Injected Into the hu man system. These Injections failed to produce tho least effect. It Is there fore considered that the character of the Utile worm has been cleared of the accusation. New Ited Grape. Although not yet tested In all grape growing regions, the Regal show promise wherever It has been grown. The vine Is a most vigorous grower, strong and healthy and exceedingly productive. The quality of the berry is very good, though not of the best. The skin Is a rich red, thin but very tough, and one of Uie chief character istics of the variety Is its long, keep ing qualities. As wtll be seen from the Illustration, the bunch Is compact, the berries of good size and uniform. A number of the State experiment sta- tions have tested the variety and speak highly of It. If It does as well under general culture as It uas on trial, It wtll be of distinct advantage as a market sort because of Its color and It long- keeping qualities. Indianapolis News, Finding Ae of Fowl. A pullet will show rose-colored veins on the surface of the skin under tho wings; there will also be long silky lmtra growing there. After a year old these disappear, so, too, do the veins, and the skin shows white and vein less. The difference can bo seen at a -"""& T aTL IIAMir OAllUISf CAHT. VaaHf tr'Bva VaFrfaaS'' "Wtv.

Again, a pullet that has not laid, or linn only Just commenced to lay, will have tho bone of the pelvis or basin almost touching. The bones gradually widen as the fowl continue laying, and at two years old are much further apart than they were at one year old. The third point of dlfferenw lies In the claw and shanks; In a young bird the skin of the claw I supple, and the scales thin and bril liant. The skin get coarser and stronger and the scales harder as the bird grow, and the nail of the last toe, which doe most of the work, when the bird scratches, get much worn. There Is also a difference In the eye lids. These acquire wrinkles as the bird get older, and there Is also a lightly shrivelled look on the face. This, with age, get more and mora pronounced. In the case of cocks, above and beyond these point of dif ference (except the bone of the pelvl widening), there are the spur to judge by. American Cultivator. Klectrlc Plowing;. With the development of electrical work proceeding to rapidly In Italy, It Is not surprising to find that special attention Is being given there to the design of electrical agricultural ma chinery. The Socleta Klcttrotecnlca Italians of Turin has Invented and con structed t number of devices for the application of electric power to farm machinery, Its latest product being an electric plow, which Is said to have come out of public tests with gratify ing success. The device consists of two twenty-five horse-power car, which are stationed at each end of the field, and between which are stretched cables attached to the plow. The electric current Js taken from a trolley line. The plow is pulled by the cables from one side of the field to the other, and when it reaches the end of the furrow It stops automatically, the current being cut off. It can be run backward or forward with ease. One man manage the plow, and each car I operated by one man. These power cars are said to be as easily managed as traction engines, and their power can be applied to thrashing ma chines, pumps, grain drills, etc. New Farm date. Serious defect to be overcome In gates are strain and leverage weight, which result in sagging. W. J. Slack, of Fort Wayne. Ind., has Invented a gate which It I claimed will large ly remedy these defect. A triangular MEW FA KM DATE. frame 1 hinged to the post, with two rollers attached, whereon gate panel Is supported and freely operates. The cut shows gate In usual low position, closed, and so supported at front end that no leverage weight or strain can Incur to either gate or post Tills Im provement may be used as a small sin gle or largo double sliding or swing gate. Gathered from the Garden. The best tblug for the garden brains. N Cut the black knot out of the plum and cherry trees. A particular titbit of the San Jose scale Is the currant Radishes are usually ready for use In six wecCs from sowing. I to no meal and wood ashes In the soli are great for sweet peas. Probably no other small fruit will give more weight of crop for tho space It occupies than the currant Don't trim the cherry trees now. Walt till June, and tuen be light handed. To bleed the grapevines by cutting during March, April or Mny Is bad management. Cold frames are useful for forward ing lettuce and cabbage In spring or early summer. If tho rhubarb la run out or mora plants nn wauted, It can be propa gated by dividing the old roots. Kach eye or bud when broken apart with a root attached forms a plant. Poultry Picking. Why don't you raise turkeys? Vho price U high and they are easy to raise, though some think It Is diffi cult Special care must be taken In nan- dllng the eggs tho first fire daya of Incubation, when life Is not firmly es tablished. The cause of fowls taking cold Is al lowing them to sleep wuere they are exposed to drafts and feeding them soft and sloppy foods. It requires capital to go into the poultry business ou anything but a very small scale, and economizing on some things Is the wrong thing to do. Wyandottea have for the last few year taken a commanding position among the fanciers of this country, be ing of American origin and a great egg producer. A great number of beginner who ore Just becoming Interested In rais ing poultry, etc., do not know what breed to select Try Barred Plymouth Rocks or Wyandotte. issfjn imp a ijnC 'jrlScic
