Distressing situation In II
Spokane Falls POstOfftce.

SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., March s.
Postal Inspector Mason wired the
department at Washington some days
ago concerning the situation in the
Postoffice here, but has received no
reply. The business is accumulating
in the Office from the lack OF help, the
old force having resolved not to work
until they get their back pay and some
assurances for future payments. Post
master Peel can do nothing, as his
private means are exhausted. The
owner of the building in which the
office is situated, has wired Post
master General Dickinson that unless
the $S5 rent for February be at once
paid he will commence suits in eject
ment. He has also raised the rent to
$l25.

SENSIBLE SHIPPERS.
They Are Taking Advantage OF
the Present Low Rates.

SAN Francisco, March S.-The rush
of freight to the east is so large in
anticipation OF the advance of rates
on March 10th, that it is said some
25O cars of freight will be forwared
this week, of which 100 cars will be
wine shipments.
The Southern Pacific Company can
not handle this great quantity of
freight to advantage, being short of
cars and locomotives. 1t can, there
fore, only receive freight at present
rates for shipment after the new rates
go into effect. Its store-houses are
already crammed with freight. Barley
and wheat are also being delivered
in large quantities, and it is likely
that the March shipments will be
heavier than those OF either January
or February.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, March 8.-The
trains from the south are delayed in
consequence Of washouts on the Sou
thern Pacific. 1t was reported by
telegraph to the railroad company's s
general offices in this city to-day
from Dos Palmos that heavy rain
fall between that place and Indio, as
well as beyond the latter point, had
rendered the track unsafe. 1t will
have to be repaired before trains can
run over it. AT the time the dispatch
was sent it was still raining, and
there was likelihood of more damage
to the tracks.
THE SITUATION AT PUENTE.
Reports from Puente and other
places al1ng the line are that the
downpour last night caused five wash
outs along the line in that vicinity.
Near the town OF Puente several feet
of track were washed away. Attempts
have been made by the repairers to
crib washes for the passage of trains,
but they were only partly successful,
as the continued rainfall caused more
high water and furtheriwashing away.
CoLToN's COMPLAINT.
CoLToN, March s. - Last night and
oday heavy rains have fallen and
the Santa Ana River is rushing in a
torrent. Should the rain continue

GRAPE GROWING.
Valuable Suggestions for CALI
fornia Vineyardists.


SAN FRANCISCO, March Sat the
meeting of the Viticulturists this
morning the different appliances for
wine-making exhibited were ex-
amined by the visitors.
In the afternoon papers were read
by Leonard Coates, of Napa, and
Clarence J. Wetmore, of Livermore.
Mr.. Coates chose the subject "The
best and cheapest methods of obtain
ing grated vineyard on resistant
stocks" He made three divisions,
"Why we graft" "What to graft"
Chow to graft" First he gave the
history of "What to graft" claiming
that the operation was practiced over
two thousand years ago, and that lit
tie advancement had been made. He
said grating in the case of the
grape was to render the plant more
hardy and to enable it to better with
stand climatic changes and ravages Of
insect pests"
In the next division of the subject
"What to graft" Mr.. Coates was
arbi rary, and said that out of thirty
distinct species of American grapes,
he would select only three or four. In
his opinion the stocks which would
best resist phylloxera in California
were the Wits, Riparia and Wits
Novo Mexicana.
As to chow to graft" he claimed
that there was but one method fit to
be applied, namely, the "English
Gift" or "whip tongue graft" which
he described in detail.
HOW TO PRUNE.
Mr.. Wetmore read a paper on "The
Chaintre system of pruning and con-
Quoting the vine in California. He
explained the system, giving the re-
suits Of his own experience. The es-
sential feature of the system, for long
prunded vines only, is the spreading
out of the vine to one side
and training it by forked sticks
about one foot above the ground.
It is claimed that the Chaintre sys-
tenn induces greatly the yield for long
growing varieties and facilitates grow
ing.
AT THE EVENING SESSION
Frank West of Stockton, read pa
per on "Wine cellars" j. H. Worth
OF Petulma, explained, "Wine max
ing machinery" H. A.
Merriam OF Los Gatos read
a paper on wine and brandy
making as profession, which aroused
considerable enthusiasm. He main
tanned that it was as much a profess
sion as that of a journalist, lawyer or
doctor, and that as much temperance,
intelligence and refinement existed as
in those professions.
