OLYMPIA, July 27.-The following Ia
the text Of letter received by State
Secretary J. II. Price from Assistant At
torney General Haight, and explains it.
self:
Replying to your communication in
reference TO the act OF February 8, 1893.
providing for the submission TO q vote of
the people OF the State an amendment
Of the State constitution relative to the
investment OF the permanent school
iund IN school district bonds, have the
honor TO suggest that, although the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court in the case
OF the State We. Grimes has by holding
that the constitutional provision We now
have authorizes the investment OF the
permanent school fund in school district
bonds, does away with the necessity of
making the amendment proposed. and
although the ACT submitting the amend
ment TO the people contains no appro-
priation, thereby compelling the State
TO depend upon the public spirit of the
newspapers Of the State TO secure the
publication OF the proposed amendment.
nevertheless find no warrant in these
circumstances for your doing otherwise
than 10 follow the literal directions OF
the law and to carry out the came TO the
extent that you are able 10 do. there
lore advise you TO maze such effort as
you can under the circumstances TO Sc
cure the due publication OF said amend
ment for the time and in the mode pre-
scribed by the constitution.

Yesterday morning q meeting of the
special Chamber OF Commerce commit
tee Was held in the Office OF George
MYERS to consider the matter and to meet
with representatives from Tacoma.

Rural Spirit; Frank Motter. Secretary
Of the Portland Chamber of Commerce !;
Rev. Or. Jetfries of Tacoma and Colonel
L. =. Shafner. Secretary Of the Tacoma
Commercial Club, were present.
The main object OF the conference was
to definitely ascertain what really WAS to
be done by Tacoma in regard to the In
terstate Fair. Colonel Shafner in re-
Spouse TO inquiries said that for a time
there was doubt OF success. First came
the trouble over the commonwealers,
then the foods. and lastly the railroad
strikes, which had paralyzed business
all over but now all these had been set
tied, and the fair would go on. Since
reaching Portland he had received tel
egram from President Holmes stating
that the Midwinter Fair concessionaires
and most of the foreign exhibits had ar
| rived at Tacoma and would be on the
I fair grounds, and that the management
and the people of Tacoma would be
greatly pleased il the people Of Oregon
would take part and furnish an exhibit.
1t WAS a general desire on the part oil
Tacoma to have Portland cooperate with
its citizens and join in making the fair a
success. He had been given to under
stand that arrangements would be made
both for the transportation of exhibits
and the establishment Of cheap excur-
sion rates for visitors.
The general feeling was expressed that
Oregon should make a good exhibit at
the fair. +. n. Morgan will donate his
superb agricultural collection, the State
Board Of Horticulture and the 1mmigra-
ton Board will make fine exhibits, and
an extensive mineral display Of Oregon
ores can be depended upon. The one
thing to be considered is the coet. II
will take about a., 500 to make the proper

CoAey's Followers Have Been Deserted
by Their Leaders.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-laree and in
dignant delegations from the Industrial
Armies camped at South Washington
applied at the room Of the House Com
mit,ee on Labor to-day, not to urge their
bills, but to plead for assistance. The
expected has happened. Their leaders
have deserted them, and they have
sought Congressional aid to return to the
localities whence they had come. Coxey'e
men said their leader had left them in
the lurch yesterday. kelley's men
averred that their leader had drifted
away several days ago. and that they did
not expect to see him again, while Frye
men said their leader had probably
abandoned them. The men who were
brought from the Pacific Coast by Kelly
were particularly indignant, and ex-
pressed a fervid desire to tar and feather
their General. McGann told them there
WAS not the slightest chance Of govern
ment appropriation for their return, and
sent them to the local Superintendent
Of Charities.

AGRICULTURAL WORLD
Some Experiments Made by
a Practical Farmer.
HAY NULcH AS A FRRTILrzER.

He Tries the Eject Of spresAing COT
Grass. After II HAD Dried. Aisns
Through the Drills Between Rows Of
Potatoes Planted In Poor Land.
Wishing to use . piece Of land that
was apparently most barren, worthless
plot Of ground, one Of my neighbors
tried some experiments. The only veg
citation apparent was . scanty growth Of
daisies, . few buttercups and large
quantity Of sour grass or field sorrel.
The soil was Of hard clay, and in drouth
it Was baked to the depth Of five or six
inches, and possibly more; and l have
seen . heavy shower, lasting several
hours, pour down upon it until it seemed
as though it would deluge the whole sur
face, but to my surprise, after it had
ceased raining for two hours, this ground
seemed rs hard and dry - it had been
before.
Two years ago last summer this land
was broken mp, manured and planted
with potatoes, which yielded almost
nothing. But it was here that my neigh
Dor tried q new plan, at least new to me
and possibly many others. He had par
tially-meadowed piece of Land close BY,
and during the summer, when the pota-
toes were h0ed for the last time he cut
the grass on the meadow, and after it
had dried he spread it along through the
drills between the rowe of potatoes. He
cut the meadow the second time, and
spread the cutting - before; and by the
time the potatoes were ready for digging
the hay had settled we'll down on the
surface, and the hay was covered with
the soil when the potatoes were dug.
The next epring it was plowed much
easier, appeared more friable than be-
fore. and after tilling it well he sowed .
varied assortment of vegetables, and
among them peppers, which. when ready
for picking. were the largest in this Vi
cinity. Some of the vegetables did not
do quite as well as they would had they
been in other soil but. taking all in all,
he had . surprisingly fine crop on his
hay fertilizer. which he continued to APP
ply whenever the meadow was ready for
cutting.
Last summer, much to my surprise, he
put several trenches through the lowest
part of the clay bank, which broke up
even better than before, and set out some
400 or 500 plants Of White Plume celery,
using q liberal quantity of well-rotted
barnyard manure. Every one knows
about the drouth We experienced last
summer. but he continued his applica-
ton OF hay and the result was marvel
Gus. The hay protected the scorching
sun from striking directly on the soil,
And all the moisture was available for
the plants. To be sure, there still re-
manned Jumps of earth which were ex-
ceedingiy hard, but these were utilized
in telling manner. In hoeing his Gel
cry he would set these hard Jumps of
clay around each plant, about two inches
away from the stalks, and carefully draw
the looser and finer earth up to it. The
result was that he had some Of the finest
celery have ever seen, and 1t was rs
clean and white when taken from the
ground as though it had been carefully
washed and scrubbed.-American Agri-
culturist.

II SUCCESSFULLY Demonstrated 1t Will

In the House.
WAsHINGros, July H.-The question
whether or not an underground trolley
is . commercially practicable and sue

car service will be determined on an ex-
tensive scale in the national capital. A
bill to authorize one Of the street-car
systems in this city to extend it's lines
and change its motive power passed both
branches Of Congress, and to-day the
conference report on the bill was agreed
to in the House. 1t requires the COM
pany to equip and operate its lines with
IN underground electric system within q
period Of two years under heavy penal
ties for failure. 1t was stated in the de-
bate that this WAS one OF the most i'm
portant measures ever passed by Con-
grese. II demonstration il made that
the underground system can be success
fully worked, ii will compel q change OF
power on thousands OF miles OF electric
roads in the United States.
The days session Of the House WAS de-
voted largely TO the consideration Of
business reported from the Commute on
interstate and Foreign Commerce, and
eighteen bills were passed. Among the
more important were those to extend
the term for which life-saving stations
shall be kept open 70 a. to include the
months OF August and May; extending
the privileges of the marine hospital
service to employees Of the life-saving
service; appropriating t75,0 600 to pur-

What Toronto Delegate Said Of the
Feeling In This Country.


LONDON, July N.-Sir John Lubbock
presided In the London Chamber of
Commerce this evening over the meeting
OF the city branch Of the Imperial Fed
Grafton League. He welcomed the Co
madam delegates heartily. Colonel Geo.
g. Denison Of Toronto then spoke OF the
importance of maintaining the unity Of
the Empire. Canada, he said, was abso-
lutely true to England, and would reso-
lutely fight against any movement to
annex her to the United States. Great
enmity was felt in the United States to-
ward England, and only the better edu-
Gated and higher classes there were
friendly to Great Britain. The peace, he
said, was maintained only through fear
OF the British navy and . half-million
Canadians. In the event that France
and Russia should combine against Eng
land the United States would Join them.
This emphasizes the necessity OF federa-
ton. Canada was prepared TO make
great sacrifices for this. but she expected
help from England. In conclusion Mr..
Denison urged q system of preferential
tariffs between Great Britain and her
colonies. The motion Of Sir +. Young
TO appoint a committee to consider the
bes; course TO pursue WAS carried against
some opposition.

A NEGLECTED CHANCE
Another Economy Our Land Tfliers
should Look After.

Another Economy Our Land TflIers
should Look After.
A writer in the American Agriculturist
says: "Isuppoee that each year l am Civ
ing away q thousand pounds of honey;
for bees get good deal from raspberry
gardens and from nearly all our fruits
when in flower. Clearly here is another
economy that our land tillers should
look after more carefully. 1t is not al
together as = market product that honey
is valuable, but a. = food product for
home consumption. 1t is concentrated
food Of the greatest value. Every effort
should once more be put forth to make
farm life independent. So long as it is
dependent on markets, the drop in the
prices of wheat, hops, corn and apples
bankrupts US. A great diversity OF
crops, and purpose to raise as far as
possible our own necessities, enable us
proportionally to be independent of fiuct-
uating prices. But the bee industry is
to be commended as complementary
necessity to successful fruit growing.
Many OF our grapes are not self-polleniz-
ing. Some OF our pears are of the same
deficient nature. All fruits are more or
less dependent on bees to carry pollen
from one to another. have no doubt
but the possession OF q small house OF
bees in the orchard will be worth thou
sands OF dollars to q man who grows
half q dozen or more acres OF fruit.
Some years the need Of this help is not
60 great as in others, but there are YEAR,
when our fruit crop lie lost for lack oil
pollenation. The year 1890 Was OF this
sort: but that year saw two small
orchards loaded with apples. Each
orchard had . few hives Of bees. The
cold rains prevented any general and
extensive aid from insects until it WAS
too late. This corporation Of industries
lie Of vital importance. 1t holds the key
Of the situation. A complete home ought
to include the production Of nearly all
that we need for food and comfort and
clothing. In reality We waste, or allow
to go to waste, = large part Of the natural
products OF the land. Honey making a.
an industry should not be separated
from fruit and flower growing, or from
general farming. The art is easily
learned, and in . family Of six persons
there will generally be found one who
finds especial pleasure in bee culture.
Fruit, flowers and honey are a perfect
and natural combination Of industries.
1t is not the amount Of money that We
can make from honey that settles the
question, but the fact that what honey
We secure 10 o desirable supplement 70
our income, and is 30 much withdrawn
from waste. We have the honey II we
have the flowers, but we need the bees
n extractors and manufacturers, who
will store it very carefully for future
use"
