Close Planting of Varieties.-The
idea of mixed and close planting Of
varieties may be carried too far and in
the wrong direction, unless a study is
made of the secondary effects. My at
tention was first attracted to the posi-
bll1ty OF inf avncing the size and quail
ty of plums by the use of. the right
pollen by the following fact. which
alone is accountable for in NO other
way than except by the direct influence
OF foreign pollen: A chance seeding
was planted On my grounds, almost
undo the leaning top of a tall Weaver
plum tree; for several years the fruit
was a large tiattish, oblong freestone
of good quality and very productive.
The plum being so much better in quail
lty than the Weaver, the Weaver tree
was u down the next season and ever
since the fruit has been smaller, nearly
round and a perfect clingstone. Last
spring I applied pollen from the Wea-
yer to a few blossoms, and the fruits
clearly showed the effects of the Wea
yer pollen.-C. W. Heidman.
Leaps of a Mountain Sbeep.-The
mountain sheep does not leap from
great heights, and land either upon his
horns or his feet. He knows the
strength of his materials too well to
try it. His horns and skull might sue
cessfully Withstand the shock. but tho
weight of his body would break his
spinal column in two or three. places,
to say the least of it. 1t is true that
when hard pressed a herd will some
times plunge down a terribly steep in
cline, sliding and bounding from point
to pc:nt, until they pillow into the
"slide-rock" below; but as to leaping
over a sheer precipice, I never saw
any one who v claimed to have
ever witnessed such a thing. The old
rams often fight by butting each other
terrifically, and often splinter or some
times break off ends of their horns
in that way.-W. T. Hornaday, in St.
Nicholas.

Arm. along the southern arm of Cooks
Inlet. were discovered last year by a party
of fifteen miners that went UP from this
CITY. With their discovery was also ac-
ouired the knowledge that by taking the
Cooks Inlet route to the gold mines in the
interior a tramp of 1900 miles could be
saved over the route via the Yukon River
From where the miners leave the river
for the diggings on Forty mile Creek, it is
necessary to make the distance of fifteen
hundred miles on foot, going by the way
of LYNN Canal and Juneau. This long
trip has been a great obstacle. Miners
could not make the trip to the mines and
back to open country the same year, and
to many this is serious objection. No
matter what the luck or success, they had
to remain in that desolate region two
years.
All that is obviated, however, by taking
the new route. Then, too, there are
thought to be rich deposits of coarse gold
all through the mountains north of the in
let and extending east to the old diggings
on Fortv-mile creek. Mines have also
been opened along the Luchitna and Knick
rivers, and the old miners say the region
will develop into one of the richest in the
western part of Alaska. There are large
fisheries along the coast and on Cooks
Inlet. one of the latter being owned and
operated by e. D. Ladd of 8 Third street,
this city. Mr.. Ladd expects to return at
the close of the fishing season, but the
miners who are going up with him to-day
will probably remain through the winter.

FREIGHT RATES REDUCED,
The Southern Pacific Company
Becomes Very Gen.
0rOuS.
Are Lowered Forty per
Cent.

The Southern Pacific company decided
yesterday to reduce rates of freight on
fresh fruits practically 30 per cent over it's
rates OF last year and the years before.
To be sure there is limit to the territory
over which this sweeping and wholly I'M
solicited cut will be extended. 1t does not
mean that rates on fresh fruit will be
cheaper from California terminal points to
Chicago than for merly, but it is a matter
of considerable importance to orchardists
in the valleys and foothills of California,
as it affects local freight rates and places
the shippers in various districts on an
equality with those at what is designated
in the fruit tariff as mainline points.
In the fruit tariff arrangement there are
three starting points for main transcon-
tinental lines from California. These are
San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles,
and from them common rate has BEEN
and will be, charged to Eastern common
terminal points.
The same rate prevails from all Califor-
mia stations along the main through lines
going east from the three points desig-
mated. ALI the branch and other lines not
on the direct main routes are classed in the
fruit schedule as branches. So, to reach a
station on the main line, local freight
has to be paid by shippers of fresh fruits.
For instance, shippers on the Napa OF
Sonoma roads have to pay local freight
to the functions on the main line. from
which places the transcontinental rate be-
gins.
What is known as the local charge is also
paid on fruit from Marysville and that
district to the main through line. So it
can be seen that the reduction of 40 per
cent on this extra charge will mean a great
deal to shippers of green fruit. The
through rate, however, will not be reduced
The railroad company gives as its reason
for making the reduction that the new
system of transportation in ventilator cars
reduces the cost, and, consequently, the
producer is to share in the benefits.

WAR TO COME IN HAWAII,
Filibustering Expeditions Pre-
pairing to Invade the
Islands.
c. w. Ashford Says That Guns May
Have Gone and Men VIII
Follow.

While Sanford B. Dole, President of the
Hawaiian republic, is nursing his ex-
hausted brain on the island of Maui the
enemies of his Government are actively at
work preparing for his undoing. There is
no doubt that storm is rapidly approach
ing the island republic from the East
Threatening signs can also be seen rising
from the West.
Telegraphic dispatches from Port Town
send yesterday morning announced that
mysterious individuals had purchased a
large number of rifles and stores of ammu-
milton from the gun stores in nearly all the
cities and towns on Puget Sound. and that
even Portland had been drawn upon.
Mysterious sehooners were reported to
have been seen sailing the waters of the
sound and rounding the northern head
lands seward bound. 1t was assumed by
those who were watching the movements
of the men and vessels that they were
bound for Hawaii.
Clarence w. Ashford, who is one of the
most bitter enemies of Dole and his Gov
eminent in speaking of the reported pur-
chase and shipment of arms and ammuni-
ton, last night said:
alt is probably true that the guns have
been purchased and shipped as stated, but
it is not true that the vessels are under
surveillance or will be stopped before they
pass the straits. In all probability they
are now out on the deep blue sea, safely
lost in the broad ATTITUDES of the Pacific -
"Can the arms be landed in Hawaii
without being taken by the Government"
was asked.
"Can they? Well, think So"
cts the easiest thing imaginable" he
continued. Landings can be made at
forty places or more on the island
of Oahu alone. The guns could be
landed and hidden in half an
hour if necessary. Besides, the people
are now all in favor of oyerthrowing the
Dole Governmental except Dole and his
fellow office-holders. | wouldn't be afraid
to touch the shore and ask the police to
help me land the forbidden goods. They
are all tired of the present regime.
II have letter of late date, in which
am informed that the people are anxiously
waiting for the coming of the filibusters
who will relieve them.
II am told that Dole knows this, too, and
he is breaking down under the strain He
has gone to the island of Maui to rest be-
cause he is suffering from an ailment of the
head.
Speaking of arms" added MI. Ash.
ford, there are several hundred stands Of
guns hidden on the island Of Oahu at this
moment. The guns that have gone from
Puget Sound are merely re-enforcements
The men to stand behind them will soon
follow"

OFF To ALASKA D|GG|NGS,
A Party of Miners Leave for
Cooks Inlet With G. D.
Laid To-Day.
Rich Discoveries of Coarse Gold
on Turnagan Arm, on the
South Side.

The disgust and encouragement of the
miners who are on their way back from
Alaska, having been unable to get up the
Yukon River, does not seem to have had a
depressing effect on others whose plans
were laid for trip to the new gold dig
gings off Cooks Inlet.
A large party of miners, many of them
from Fresno and quite number from this
city, leaves for Cooks Inlet under the di-
rectorship of G. D. Ladd this morning.
Mr.. Laid thinks that before the season is
fairly open in the land of the midnight
sun there will be an influx of several hun
bred miners from California and the Terri
tories. The new diggings on Turnagan

Stabbed in a Saloon.

John Schulz, horseshoer, 1015 Alabama
street, and George shackelton, Twenty-third
street, near Harrison, had fight in front of
the saloon on Twenty-fourth and Harrison
streets yesterday afternoon. Shackelton,
although the taller of the two, got the worst
of the fight. About half an hour later they
again met in the saloon. They began wrang-
ling, and suddenly Shackelton pulled out
knife with blade about four inches long and
made a Iunge at Schulz A bystander fortun-
ately seized Shackelton's arm, otherwise
Schulz would have been corpse. As it was
the blade penetrated his chest about three
inches. They were both arrested, and Schulz
had his wound dressed at the Receiving Hos
pital. Schulz refused to prosecute Shackelton
SO they were charged with disturbing the
peace. A more serious charge will likely be
preferred against Shackelton, as Captain
Douglas ordered that thorough investigation
be made into the matter.

JOYS VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA
is blood purifier. 1t is grand discovery.
When the word grand is used it is meant
to convey to the mind the word wondrous.
JOYS VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLAi is
really wonderful prescription. 1t is a
blood purifier and laxative. Instead Of
driving the impurities of the blood through
the pores of the skin, these impurities are
caused to gently run through the proper
channels of nature. You don't need to
take nasty pills, beastly iodide of potash,
mercury or other mineral poisons. When
substitute is offered, when some one tries
to talk you into taking something which is
just as good, be sure the ''just as good"
contains no pimple producing, blood
bleaching, corrosive poisons. Don't be
talked into buying dollar bottle of solid
extract of pimples.
