Weather Review And Comparison.

The weather observers of the state
Of Washington have sent in to the
central Office some very interesting
and praiseworthy reports for the month
OF April. They show the north, al

normal April in any particular, was a
tritie warmer than usual, and the pre-
cipitation, as whole, was slightly
below the average. It was not we'll
distributed, however, the rainfall
being fully One-half less in eastern
Washington than it should have been,
while III the western portion of the
state there was abundance.
Some high temperatures occurred
from the 21st to Odd in the western
section, and the ODD to 25th in the
eastern section; the thermometer
registering in the former case as high
as SO in some places, and in the
latter case as high as So. The coolest
spell was the 4th and 9th, when a
severe freeze, and some snow occurred;
the remaining frosts OF the month
were light, and did no material dam
age.
In the eastern S, elton there was a
violent dust-stolm on the 1st it was
the severest one ever known there, and
unrOofed some buildings, broke win
dows, carried away fences, etc. Crops
were fortunately not for enough adj
vanced to be damaged.
Quite dry spell occurred, lasting
from the 18th to 9th in the eastern
section, and from the Goth to 30th in
the western section. While this was
all right in the western part, it would
have been better for sprouting grain

A DISPATCH from Lester Wash. saws
that the post Office and two small
dwellings were burned there last Fri
day. "All hecontents of the post office
were destroyed, although the post
master tried to save at least the gov
eminent property. By the heroic
efforts of the populace the saloon,
about 200 feet away, was saved" This
is all right, and is not q slur on the
good people Of Lester, although the
looks are against them.

To Destroy Rose Aphis.

Numerous inquiries have been made
ut the office of the board OF horticul-
ture for some remedy to destroy the
rose aphis, which are great pest at
this season of the year. Secretary
e. a. Tonneson gives the following
recipe for destroying the pest: "Any
one having bushes infested with the
lice will find an effective remedy by
using solution made from ouassia
chips and soap in the proportion of
one pound quassia and one pound
soap OF good quality to eight gallons
water. For small quantities steepings
can be made by soaking handful of
the chips in hot water for four or five
hours, then mix with the suds. Hot
water Or soap water applied at 10
degrees Fahrenheit will also DESTROY
the pests, but the quassia and soap is
one OF the safest and most effective
remedies

Again The Indemnity Lands.

The commissioners of the land de-
partment at Washington has refused
the applications of those who filed on
the indemnity lands in Chehalis
county last fall and winter, which
lands have been held for cancellation
upon the completion of the application
of the original filings made in 1850,
the commissioner holding that the
selections by the Northern Pacific we're
intact except as to these preferred
filers. The usual time is given IN
which to appeal to the secretary OF the
interior.
This ruling of the commits sloners is
in direct opposition to large line of de-
cisions which have uniformly held that
where q selection was not properly
made by railroad, it could not go
back and correct its selection IN the
face of an adverse claim, but that the
right of selection devolved upon the
next legal applicant, providing the
original filler failed to complete his
entry and make final proof. 1t has
been uniformly held, no later than
March IL, 1895, in the Watson case,
that the attempted Withdrawals OF
these lands at that time were illegal,
and under the rulings referred to we
do not see how they could be legallzed
while the contest was pending, and
the decision in favor of the original
filers would therefore seem to cause
the lands to revert to the government,
in case OF their failure to complete
their entry. Should no adverse claim
have arisen the company could then
step in and make a proper selection.
The commissioners may have ruled
upon the peculiar wording OF the
secretary that "upOn completion OF
entry by the original filler the selection
OF the Northern Pacific will be CANCEL
ed" An appeal is being prepared in
these rejected cases and we do not see
how the secretary can do other than
override this decision of the commits
sioners. One thing is certain, however,
the Northern Pacific will contest every
ease, and the only way for the settlers
to get these lands is to combine and
appeal to the secretary. Otherwise
patent is very liable to issue to the
company.-Aberdeen Herald.

Some Prune Figures.

The average quantity of prunes I'M
ported into the United States annual
iy during the past ten years is AZ ESQ.,
T6O pounds. The average quantity OF
prunes produced annually in Califor-
MIA during that period is given by the
California Fruit Grower at 1855, 900
pounds. This would make the aver
age annual consumption in the United
States, not including the prunes cured
in Oregon and Washington, $685.,
$50 pounds. The importations OF
prunes in 1894 amounted to 9,906, l22
pounds, and the crop of California is
estimated by the Fruit Grower at 49,
100000 pounds. If we add 100000
pounds as the crop of Oregon and
Washington, we will have total sup
ply of 81 ,4OS,122 pounds, or about
100000 pounds less than usual.
In this connection it is necessary to
consider that in 1898 the imports were
25,215,112 pounds, the California
crop, according to the estimate of the
Fruit Grower, 81 100000 pounds and
the Oregon and Washington crop
about 1,l23.OOO pounds, making the
total supply of that year S4,S39,112'
or about IS 100000 pounds more than
the average for the past ten years.
The average for the two years is
81 ,623,717 pounds, or abouta million
pounds more than the average for the
last ten years.-Rurai Northwest.
