Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 4.--Captain AL.
exander McDougal, general manager
OF the American Steel Barge company,
is IN receipt of letter from CAPTAIN r,
Laverg, master of the whaleback
steamship City of Everett, which sailed
last summer from San Francisco for
calcutta, with cargo of food for the
famine sufferers of India.
The letter is dated at Calcutta. Sep
tember Is. In it Captain Laverg charges
that English officials at Calcutta re-
ceiyed the famine supplies without en-
thusiasm. The pilot came aboard of
the City OF Everett when she approach
ed Calcutta, and told the captain that
he would have done better to have
brought IL cargo OF rapid firing guns
with which to kin off the native In
dian population instead OF food. Cap-
tain Laverg says that the CITY OF Ey-
erett was treated shamefully at Cal
cutta by the government, and that the
treatment seemed especially out Of
place, owing to the presence of the
vessel as representing the generosity
aud humanity of the American people.

arow,nE Black walnut for Timber

There has come to be a widespread

the wood its peculiar value until 1t ap-

80 years old that are over sixty feet In
height and ten inches in diameter at
breast high. But the wood of these
trees Is sappy and light colored, show

hnishing purposes. 1t is the color that
gives value to the wood, and young
trees cannot be sold at price much

such as that of river and creek bot

The nuts should be planted where the
tree is to stand, shortly after they
drop from the tree. 1t is unnecessary
to hull them. They should be covered
about one inch deep, and will ordinar-
lily grow a foot high the first year.
They are easily transplanted when one
year old, but as a heavy tap root Is
formed they are difficult to reset after
the first year. For timber they should
be grown among other trees that make
denser shade. These are called nurse
trees, and their purpose is to prevent
the walnut from branching low, and
forcing its stem straight and tall. Red
and Silver Maple, Russian and native
Mulberry, and Box Elder are all good
nurses for black walnut. Suppose all
the trees stand AKA feet apart, then each
walnut should be surrounded by nurse
trees. This would place the walnuts
at least 8xS feet apart l would prefer
to make the entire plantation 3x3 feet,
placing walnuts at 9x9 feet; this would
require 537 walnut trees per acre, and
a total of 1910 trees per acre. The rate
of thinning would depend entirely upon
the development, and this in turn de
pends on many things; SOIL exposure
rain, humidity, winds and all the con
ditions of locality that can influence
tree growth. AS to the number of trees
that should stand on an acre at a giver
age and the value of a walnut planta

are too speculative for discussion, ant

would be absurd. Fashions change in

Spaclnl Agent for Uneompahpra.

Washington, Nov. At is probable
that special agent of the interior de-

Uncompahgre reservation to make n
personal investigation of the recent
conflict between the Indians aud game
wardens. Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs Jones says that he will make q
suggestion to the secretary of the inte-
rior upon the latter's return to Wash
lngton, that trusted employe of tho
department be detailed to make an in
yestigation and report.
All the information on this matter
received at the Indian office up to this
time has been from agency clerks, and
through the war department. Owing
to the fact that Captain Beck, the
agent, is in Washington, he has had no
accurate knowledge of the recent
trouble, and for that reason Commits
sloner Jones thinks a special agent
should make an investigation.
