does not seem at all unlikely that the
presidential trip will be abandoned, at
least so far as the proposed visit to Puget
sound is concerned. Judge J. N. Scott,
President Harrison's brother-in-law, re-
ceived letter from the president few
days ago, in which he intimated that the
press of public business might keep him
III or near Washington City nearly the
whole summer. The president mentioned
the subsidy law and the Bering sea ques-
ton as two of the things that required his
constant presence in the national capi-
tai pending their adjustment. He said
that unless these matters were arranged
soon, he might be forced to abandon the
proposed trip to the Sound, coming only
as far as San Francisco, and intimated
further that he might not be able to leave
the East at all this spring.
Judge Scott does not hesitate to say
that, judging from the tone of the presi-
dents letter, the trip looks doubtful. 1t
is not unlikely, too, that the Italian epi-
sode will require the presence of the presi-
dent in its adjustment. If it does he will
be kept in Washington City several weeks
by these matters.

port was sent out that he would get the
appointment, but Collector Bradshaw had
a surprise in store and named Mr.. Berry,
who had been until short time before
resident of Colfax. There is said to be a
good story in connection with the matter,
but the custorn-house officials refuse to say
whether or not Berry Is TO be removed, nor
will they talk about his probable successor.

SPOKANE, April 1.-Official reports to the
Chamber of Commerce from seventeen
towns in the grain districts Of Eastern
Washington indicate largely increased
acreage over last year. These reports are
from the Palouse, Walla Walla, Yakima
and Potlatch valleys, where the famous
wheat blockade occurred last autumn and
also from that broad region encircled by
the big bend Of the Columbia river. In
the Big Bend, where government land is
being rapidly taken by immigrants, the
increase of acreage will run from so TO 100
per cent. In the Palouse, Walla Walla,
Yakima and Potlatch districts the in
crease will be about % per cent.
As barley was profitable crop last year,
the acreage of that grain will be particu-
larly large. The soil is in excellent condi-
ton. In places it is wet to depth of
three feet. Farm work is being pushed
with exceptional vigor.
