Intcroit High In Coming Sonlon of
Irrigation Congress.
North Ynklma, Wash, Aug. 7.
During the flnt week of Koptumber tho
National Irrlgitlon congress will In
onion at llolso Idaho, with an attend
anco of several thotirittid delegates.
Kxhllilti of fruit and honey are being
propared by dlftoront localities and
itatei. Tho premlumi aro liberal. It
If expected that the governor of Wash
ington will appoint 26 delegatei, that
each commercial club will appoint ten,
and that each board of county commit
iloneri will appoint five. It li bellev
ml that If a full delegation attendi the
convention It will be ahlo to aecuro the
next national congren at lotnn point in
this itate. It la hoped that the vari
oui fruitgrower' aiioclatlom and the
State Beekeeper' aisoclatlon will have
on exhibition products of the orchard
and apiary which will take silver etips
and other premiums. The Yakima
County Horticultural union Is arrang
ing to send elegant exhibits ol trail"
and honev. The delegation from that
county will ask the convention to pass
a resolution memorialising congress to
appropriate $!l00,000,000 for reclama
tion of arid lands In tlie West.
The State Ileekeepen' association lias
secured a Illgelow observatory hive,
stocked with pure bred Italian be, for
the purjxise of giving object lessons in
the apiary. It will be used at the
monthly meetings ol the association to
teach the farmers and high school class
es. It will be one ol trie interesting
feature of the display at the Washing
Ion HUto fair. The secretary of the
fair has agreed to set apart one of the
prominent conrnen In the main pavil
ion for the apiary exhibit, and $200
has been appropriated for premiums in
that division.
The three days' midwinter conven
tion of the BUte ileekeepen' associa
tion will be held at the Agricultural
college at Pullman next January, and
the observatory hive will be in full
operation to instruct the students of
that college. The student of the Ida
ho Agricultural college, which is only
nlno mile from Pullman, are also In
vited to be present at that meeting.
The business of beekeeping is an ad
junct of the orchard, bes being the
best friend of the fruitgrower, for the
reason that these insects croes pollenlie
the blossoms and luciease the yield.
These two Industries go hand in hand,
and are rapidly becoming valuable
source of Income.
As an example of what organisation
doe, a few years ago the Yakima Coun
ty Horticultural union incorporated and
sold Its shares of stock at $10; the past
year the dividends were 70 per cent, a
warehouse 60x180 feet ha Just been
completed, tne material being slont
and the structure two stories and full
basement, one front being on the
Northern Pacific railroad and the other
on the North Coast road. The shares
are now selling at $20. and it I antici
pated that tho capital stock will have
to be Increased In order to accommodate
th demand.
Fruit Inspector Drown, of Yakima
county, says that in Ova years from now
he calculate that 12,000 can per year
will be shipped from the warehouse at
North Yakima.

ample of tho actual north of a scrap
of knowledge.
A few year ago n shabby old book
was sent from n pariah library In Ktig
land to be sold by auction In !ndon.
It was seven Inches long and live wide.
It consisted of thirty-eight leaves of
vellum, on which were Inscribed the
four gospels. It had four Illuminated
Illustrations, representing the evangel
ists, each seated on a stool, holding his
gospel, and each having a circular gold
nimbus.
The book wo bought by the Hodle
lnn Library for six pounds. Month af
terward, when It came to be cata
logued, a em was found written on
the fly-leaf, containing a reference to
the rescue of tho book from the bed of
n strenm, where It had been dropped
by n cureless servant, nnd where It lay
until discovered by a passing knight.
Of coune the poet attributed the re
covery of the sacred volume to a mir
acle. The rente casually referred to the
fact that when the book was loat It
wns being "conveyed to the king and
fiueem
"What king and queen, I wonder?"
mused the librarian.
"Why. a story like that was told of
the gospels tielonglng to Margaret of
Scotland," said hi woman assistant.
Sure enough, a little research showed
that there was scarcely a doubt that
the book had belonged to Margaret.
Queen of Scotland, who died In T003.
This book wns fully described by her
confessor more than eight hundred
years ago. He related Its being loat
In the brook, recorered and conreyed
to Its royal owner, and used by her for
many years.
So the worn old book which the
Ilodlclan bought for a song Is now one
of the great library's priceless treas
ures Identified by a girl's knowledge
of a queer story In tho life of a queen
who was also n saint.
IT 18 THE RICHEST HILL.
Illa-

tli
Lnnnhlna" Stork of Miners.
Under the title "A Itllllon-Dollar
Mining Camp." the city of Ilutte, Mont,
which Is built on what Is probably the
richest hill In the world. Is described In
"My Huslne-t Friend." It Is Interesting
to note how long tho big black butte
was the laughing stock of miners who
wandered that way In search of gold,
nnd nlwnya failed to And It, until at
Ust some man, wiser than the rest,
selxed ti-tou the possibilities of the In
exhaustible supply of copper and the
result was the development of the
wealthy community which makes merry
Industry In the fissured bills and vol
leys to-dny.
It Is only during the last twenty
years thnt Hutte took Its stand with
the copiter enmps of the world, and dur
ing thnt time It has produced one
fourth of the entire supply. So largely
doe the world depend upon Hutte thnt,
should Its copper mines shut down for
n terlod of three months, n copper fam
ine would be exterlenecd nnd every In
dustry depending on copper would bo
paralyxed until Rutto could catch up
again. At the three Montnnn towns of
Anncondn, Itnsln nnd Croat Fulls, the
Intter snld to Imve the greatest power
next to Niagara, great nnelters nre
busy day nnd night, thus taking from
Hutte n small ercentngo of the smoke
which has umdo It n strangling town
for the unnrcllinnted. In Ilutte there
hits lately been completed n stock 3M
feet high, which will carry off tho
smoke from tho Rutto reduction works
to Midi nn elevation thnt It will not
full again, n black cloud, on the town.
Rutto inny yet havo n smoke law which
will compel these, high stacks to tie
erected nt nil of the mines, nnd while
It will not mnko tho surrounding coun
try more esthetic, still It will bo pos
sible to breathe there and to havo the
pleasing sight of trees, shrubs, flowei
gardens nnd gross plots.
