I Orchardiets Find It Moat Trouble­ some Pest in Noithwest. Black spot canker is one o f the most troublesome fruit pests o f the North­ west and one which fruit growers must understand and be able to recognize if they expect to make headway against it. During the fall the spores or “ seeds” are lodged on'the apples, being distrib­ uted by the wind or other agencies. Later, when the apples are stored, in cellars where there is an abundance of moisture “ sweating” occurs, a condi­ tion very favorable for the germination o f spores. Black spot canker is responsible for the great part o f fruit rotting that occurs. The most effective treatment is a thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture in November, when the spores or seeds are floating in the orchard. Because the fungus givec such slight evidence o f its presence in the bark in the fall, and because so apparent in the spring, many orchardista make the mis­ take o f attempting to combat it in the spring after it has already gotten in the bark. Such treatment is ineffect­ ual, however. The spore must be killed before it has germinated. D E PO S IT I O BE MINED. Nehalem “ Beeswax" Hat Been Found to Be Ozocerite. That the product found in the sand at the mouth o f the Nehaiem ’river, pop­ ularly believed to be beeswax from a wrecked Spanish galleon, is valuable substance known to chemistry as ozo­ cerite, was the statement made by J. J. Walter, president o f the Neoarney City Hyrdocarbon Oil company, a cor­ poration organized to exploit the pro­ duct. For years visitors to that coast have picked up the wax-like lumps that have strewn the I beach k there. The general opinion has prevailed that it was beeswax brought from Manila for one of the Spanish settlements in Cali­ fornia and that the Bhip was wrecked there. The discovery was made as early as 1813 by the Indians. K it Carson, the famous scout, now employed as an assayer by the govern­ Q U AKE FELLS M O U N TA IN . ment, visited the place and announced that the supposed beeswax was none Thousands ot Buildings Destroyed and other than ozeerite, a product o f hydro­ carbon oil, found only in South Am er­ Great Property Loss. ica and in small quantities in Northern Tokio, Aug. 17.— Reports received Europe. today concerning the earthquake in Central Japan Saturday, show there A L L N A T IO N S INVITED . were many fatalities and great damage was done to property.

Big Washington Project. Winnipeg, Aug. 17.— From all points in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia the unanimity of opinion points to the anticipatory re­ sult o f this year’s harvest as being the greatest in the history o f the Canadian West. In some places, such as South­ ern Alberta, the phenomenal growth makes it hard for the people to con­ ceive such pro.-pects. Farmers are now busy gathering the hay crop, which is a heavy one. The grain har­ vest will be general during the latter part o f the present month.

Kennewick—That preliminary plans have been made for a big irrigation project, which will water thousands of acres o f sagebrush land in Grant county are under way, is the informa­ tion given out by J.

Mr. Spencer, who has largo land interests in the Crab creek country, says that the farmers in that section have begun active preparations to place 550,000 acres under irrigation by means o f a pipe line to be built from the Columbia river to the Crab creek valley in Grant county. It w ill cost $5,000,000 to complete this gigantic undertaking, which will be one o f the longest gravity systems in the world.

The csr was crowded, but the two pretty girls who entered it at Madison avenue had no trouble in getting seats. They thanked the men who gave them places, and immediately fell into an absorbing conversation, so absorbing that one of them did not look up when the conductor called for fares. H« glanced at her doubtfully, but uftet a second's hesitation, passed on; it was almost beyond human possibility to be certain of every one at the crowded hour. As they left the car, one of the girls turned to the other triumphantly. “ An other nickel in !” she exclaimed. “ Another nickel? What do you mean?" the other asked, puzzled. Claire laughed, showing her pret­ tiest dimple, “ i mean," she explained, “that that’s five nickels I ’ve saved this week by free rides. Of course I don’t rare for the nickels, but it's loads of fun to do it." "But—Claire Ellis— It isn't honest!" Claire laughed again. “ What’s the harm?" she a ;ked. "The company's far too rich. Lots of people do It, only they don’t own up." “ But I should think the conductor would catch you.” "That's just the fun of It— I ’ve found out how. I f I think the conductor is going to ask me, I Just smile right Into his eyes. They never Insist when you do that. Once, though, I did near­ ly get caught. I took a big chance that time, for I ’d been shopping, and had spent every cent except a ten-dol- lar bill—and the conductor was a grim old thing, who wouldn’t know a pretty girl from a cow! When he said, ’Fare, miss,’ I was scared for a Becond; then before I realized It, my life was saved. The man who had given me his seat and was standing Just in front of me. said. ’I paid for that young lady—I gave you two tickets.’ The conductor looked doubtful, but he couldn't be sure because the car was crowded, so after an instant he went on." "But, Claire E llls - to let f strange man pay for you!" Claire flushed a little. "W ell, of course I didn’ t quite like it, but what could I do?" ahe protested.
