GREATEST OF coLoNlzERs.
Much of the Earth Owes Its Settlement to
 the Finding of Gold.

the rlnuins or Gold
 It has been well said that gold is the greatest of colonizers, and this has prov ed especially true ill the last half of the present century To what lone regions the footsteps of man were attracted in the earliest times by the discovery of gold we may not know, but within the memory of living men great regions of the earth s surface have owed their set tlement and occupation solely to the finding by search or accident of few shining particles i'll the earth.
 California was remote and outlying province of Mexico, inhabited by Indi- ans, gathered i'll missions or scattered abroad, and cattle barons and their de pendents, visited by few ships each year in search of a freight of hides, when the picking up of few grains of gold i'll the banks of a mill race called the gold seekers from the four quarters Of the earth and transformed wilder Eess into a populous empire.
 Australia was a corner of the earth selected on account of its re1noteness from their former home as place of banishment for British criminals when the gleam of gold illuminated it and filled the distant harbors with sails and their shores with cities.
 South Africa might have remained forever . grassy waste, the home of say ages contending with the Boers and the British for the possession of illimitable pastures, had not gold called the miner and those who follow him to build Jo- hannesburg. Kansas City Times

Imnorting Nnisances.

Australia is overrun with rabbitS. the
descendants of half dozen imported
from England some years ago. They
have become so numerous that the agri-
cultural interests of the country are Sc
riouSIy threatened. Devices of all sorts
have been employed in the effort to get
rid of them, but thus far without avail.
Disease germs have been scattered
among Them but this is dangerous, as
the rabbits die. and domestic animals
may devour them. 1t is a matter Of
common remark that the. English spar
row has become a nuisance. Brought
here originally to destroy caterpillars,
it is more annoying and destructive
than the insects it was supposed to prey
upon. The danger Of importing crea
lures of this sort is nowhere more aptly
shown than in the efforts now being
made in Massachusetts to eXterminate
the gypsy moth. This insect was
brought to this country by an entomol-
ogist. BY some accident number of
them escaped, and within the past four
years half a million dollars have been
expended in trying TO get rid OF them.
1t is thought that some millions may be
required before the gypsy moth is en-
tirely destroyed, if this can be done at
all, which very many persons are
strongly inclinded to doubt Some
years ago a hyacinth, brought from some
foreign country, took root in Florida
and spread to several of the rivers,
which have become so choked by the
growth of it that navigation is difficult,
and considerable sums of money are re-
quired to keep the channel open. All
of which furnishes an excellent reason
for the greatest care in bringing foreign
plants and animals into new localities.

A little thing happened down at the
home of Schilling's Best tea the other
day that cost the firm a clean 5000, and
the most interesting feature of the mat
ter is that they could have got out of
paying it if they wanted to-because 1T
was voluntary thing and no one ex-
pected them to do 1t.
1t seems that, in the earlier part of
the missing word contest, A. Schilling
& Co. promised 800 each to the two
persons who sent in the largest number
of Shilling's Best yellow tickets before
June Is.
1t seems fair that the consumers of
the tea should get these prizes. A groc-
er has a greater opportunity for col
Letting tickets; and then, too, he makes
a profit on the tea. But two grocers
won the prizes. and A. Schilling & Co.
paid the money
Now comes the funny part-they
wanted consumers to get 5000, and were
determined they should. So they paid
another 5000 to the two consumers who
had sent in the two largest number OF
tickets.
That is handsome, to say the least.

GERMANY FEMINIST ANNEXATION.
Says Leading Powers should Figure
in the Control.

london, July 25.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says that Ger
many protested to the United States
against the annexation of Hawaii by the
latter country. Germany, the correspond
ent says, desires triple control of the
islands by America, Great Britain and
herself. Chagrined at the result of her
protest, Germany sounded Japan, but the
latter declined to be a party to any con-
certed action, believing that the United
States would respect the rights of Jap
anese emigrants in Hawaii.

Emperor Francis Joseph is cutting

with two wax candles in summer and
three in winter. These are put an end
to. Their Iveries will no longer be
their own, and they will not be allowed

WALLA WALLA VALLEY FARMERS.
Heading IL Reing Carried on Nigor-
ousIy-Fruit Crop.

Walla Walla. July 29.-IIarvest is oc-
cupying fully the attention of the Waila |
Walla valley farmers. Few idle men are
in the city. Crews are being picked up
daily by the farmers. Heading is being
carried on vigorously, and profiting by
the experience of three years ago, the
farmers are careful regarding the rain
proof quality of their stacks, although
IS per cent of the county's grain yield
will be threshed in a month.
Word comes from Waitsburg that
wherever wheat is being threshed the
yield runs 30, As and even 30 bushels to
the acre. Spring grain is a better produc-
er than fall grain, owing to the fact that
fall grain was too far advanced to profit
by the late rains.
Wherever possible, farmers are learn
ing to harvest with as little expense as
possible.
Wheatrasing is the chief factor Of this
valleys wealth. A good second to it is
the fruit. This year the quantity and
quality of all fruits, possibly with the ex-
ception of cherries and peaches have new
er been excelled. The strawberry crop
realized for its cultivators many thous-
ands of dollars Now apples of the sum
mer variety. Osborne and Clapps Favor
tie pears and Bradshaw plums are being
marketed. DIR. y. G. Balock, from the
immense fruit farm of the Blalock Fruit
Company, in which John A. Finch and
A. b. Campbell of Spokane are largely in
terested, has already shipped four car
loads of mixed fruit to the eastern mar
kets. Next week the prunes will be
marketed.
At the Blalocb ranch the scene is a
busy one. About 50 men are employed
outside. picking, sorting and hauling the
fruit to the mammoth packing house
Here again is small army of packers
; mostly girls Great care is being mani
tested in the packing and sorting. NeAt

TRYING TO oUELL SOCIALISM.
German Conservatives Attempt to
Call "a Halt.

Berlin, July 25.-In the lower house of
the Prussian diet the discussion of the
Law of the Associations bill, as modi-
fled in the upper house, was begun yester
day. Baron Wonder Becke urgently re-
quested the deputies to pass the bill in
the form approved by the upper house.
He said:
"The bill constitutes an effective rem
edy against the ever growing agitation of
the social democrats and especially in the
rural districts among the reservists.'
Herr Hobrecht said that so far as the
national liberals were concerned, with
one exception, they would vote against
the bill. Herr Lundburgsterman, on be-
half of the conservatives, said that in the
struggle against subversive tendencies
they would always support the govern
ment.

TIMBER AND HAY THE PRODUCTS.
Valley Of the Occur d'AIene Is Be
coming a Vast Hay Ranch.

Kingston, Idaho, July 2S.-The narrow
gauge road is in better condition than it
has been for years, thousands of new ties
having been put in and bridges of doubt
full strength repaired. Aside from haul
ing the Last Chance ore from Wardner
to Wallace almost the whole business IF
this line is in lumber, mining timbers
and wood, mostly shipped from here. Far
ther up the South Fork timber is difficult
of access owing to the steepness of the
mountains, but here large bodies of it
were within reach; besides which millions
of feet are foated down the North Fork.
The principal industry now is cutting
and putting up hay, nearly every ranch
er between Wardner and Harrison being
engaged in it. The valley of the Occur
d'Alene seems to have been designed for
mammoth hay meadow, and is rapidly
becoming such. Nearly the whole valley
is overflowed in times of high water, re-
sulting i'll great crops of wild grasses, and
when seeded with timothy and red top
producing the finest quality of hay. To
wards the head of the valley the bottom
was covered with timber when they were
first settled, and there are generally 81
many stumps yet in the ground that the
grass must be cut with the scythe, but
lower down except for trees along the
river bank the bottom was ready for the
moving machine ever since it was invent
