Colgate’s Remains Have Been Discovered. THE BURIAL OF THE REMNANTS It is Found That His Desertion by Young Carlin Was Cowardly in the Extreme —Thigh Bone and One Leg All That Remained of the Body. M issoula , Mont., September 26.—The Missoulan to-morrow will contain a sensational story of the recovery and burial of the remains of George Colgate, the deserted cook of the notorious hunt ing party headed by William E. Carlin, son of General Carlin, late commander of the department of the Columbia. The discovery was made August 23 by Lieu tenant Elliott eight miles below the spot where the desertion occurred on Clear water river. All that remained of Col gate’s body was a thigh bone and one leg, which was mangled and gnawed by the wild beasts infesting that region. It is presumed the rest of the remains were carried away by the animals into the mountain fastnesses. At the same spot also were found the matchbox, fishing lines and other articles identified as Col gate’s property. The remains were in terred in Lower Hot Springs, on the middle fork of the Clearwater. Elliott was sent out on this mission by the present commander of the department of the Columbia, to which official he makes a full report, there being many points tending to prove that Colgate’s desertion by the Carlin party was cowardly in the extreme; the only monument . S pokane , Wash., September 26.—In addition to press dispatches sent put word has been received here that Lieu tenant Elliott and his party are now working their way out of the Clearwater region by way of the Coeur d’Alene coun try, and will proceed at once to report at Vancouver Barracks. The last rest ing place of the unfortunate cook and companion of General Carlin’s son was marked by a little mound of earth and a headstone, consisting of half a good- sized tree, upon which was carved the words, “George Colgate.” Lieutenant Elliott says that the story circulated by Kelly, the trapper, was a basé fabrica tion. _______ _ YET ANOTHER BATTLE. The Report Comes Direct From Official Chinese Sources. S hanghai , September 27.—It is re ported that the native officials here re ceived news late last night that the Jap anese attacked the Chinese forces at An Chow and Yi Chow simultaneously, and were repulsed at both places. Yi Chow is probably the same as Hai Chow on the Chinese coast south and west of the Shangtung peninsula. THE PORTLAND MARKETS. Wheat Market.

W ashington , September 27.—To-day’s advices from Tokio that the second Jap anese ariny of 30,000 men sailed from Hiroschima yesterday is regarded in of ficial. circles here as a first move in the advance on the Chinese capital, Peking. I The Gulf of Pe Chi Li, which the dis patches give as the probable destination of the army, is the entrance to the river leading to Peking. It is said the Taku forts at the entrance to Pei Ho river are practically impregnable, owing to a stretch of mud flats around them. It is not believed therefore any advance oh Peking would be made up the river, but, 30,000 men will be landed at some other port, whence a short overland march would take them to the walls of Peking. A circuit of the forts is the strategic move advised by a United States officer of high rank, who has made a study of the proposed invasion of .China. BEHEADED FOR COWARDICE. Merchandise Market.

STANDARD MEAT FOOD Pork Stands at the Head in This Country. HOW IT SHOULD BE PREPARED The Best Pork Made From Pigs Under a Year Old—They Should be Given Such Food as Will Produce Muscle and Lean Meat to Greatest Extent. Pork is the standard meat food of the farmer of this country, and perhaps al ways will be, and it should be prepared in such manner that it will be whole some and palatable. To do this -it is necessary to begin with the pig that is to be slaughtered and feed him judi ciously. It is_ acknowledged that the pork of European countries is more tooth some than that of America, because it contains less fat and is consequently of better flavor and more digestible. The old plan was to feed the hogs' until they were nothing but masses of fat, because pork of this kind lasted longer than that which would be more inviting to the palate. The best pork is of course that made from pigs under a .year ofo, and these, should be given such food as will produce muscle or lean meat to the greatest pos sible extent. It should not be the prin cipal aim to produce fat at first, but to feed such foods as will make growth and keep the digestive organs in good condi tion. For this purpose a good grass range is probably as good as anything, and”plenty of milk where it is obtainable will be found to supplement the grass in the production of muscle. If the pig is kept in a thriving condi tion by a course of feeding of this kind, it will be ready to finish for the shambles in a short time, when the slaughtering season comes. Bran and shorts are good things to feed growing pigs, as they are rich in bone and muscle-forming ma terial. A pig that is fed something after this style will not produce as much lard as one that is kept until a year and a half old, hut the pork from it will be sweet and wholesome instead of a greasy mass that is prolific of disease and dis tasteful at any time to a refined taste.— Farm News. . SPRAYING ORCHARDS. A Splendid Opening for an Energetic Young Man. Since spraying the orchard is a neces sity in order to produce merchantable fruit on a large scale in all parts of the country, preparations to treat the trees in a proper manner should be made by all owners of orchards, even though small. In a district where fruit-growing is merely a side issue and quite subordi nate to the general farming interest it may be inconvenient and perhaps ex pensive for each farmer to maintain an efficient spraying outfit. In such .cases it will generally be found that by the farmers of a neighborhood clubbing to gether a spraying outfit sufficient for the use of all may be obtained at a small cost to each, and that the work may thus be done for all at no great expense; What would be still better, however, would be to offer adequate inducements to some enterprising young man in the neighborhood to provide himself with the necessary spraying apparatus and materials for the required sprays and then do the work for each orchardist as required at a cost to be agreed upon. In this way the work would almost certain? ly be done when needed, and would not be indefinitely postponed or indifferently performed, as is so liable to be the case when the small orchardist depends wholly upon himself to provide the ap pliances and materials for spraying.— Irrigation Age. ROOTS OF FRUIT TREES. Difficult to Break Away From an Old. Habit. While fruit-growers are aware now that the roots of trees and plants extend to great distance, still it is difficult to break away from the old hgbit of manur ing about the trunks, trusting that some how or other the fertilizer will be ap propriated and fearing that if spread broadcast it may in some way become lost. It will be found difficult to place manure in an orchard or vineyard .where the plants will not reach it, and if prop erly spread will not be lost. Should it sink into the subsoil root will follow it and bring it back by the ear; as a teacher would a truant schoolboy. We have observed the roots of apple trees in sand pits extending downward ten feet. We recently followed the roots of an old grape vine twenty feet under the location of a defunct building. When we Stopped digging the roots were as large as a little finger, were four feet be neath the surface and probably extended ten feet farther. A pile of manure about the base of this vine would have done but little good. Knowing the extent and'habit of root growth, it is'apparent that cultivation dose about the trunks of the trees or vines is not necessary, and. is often pro ductive Of more harm than good in mar- ring and famty on the part of the plowman.— Colman’s Rural World.
