The Production Of Maple Sugar and.
Syrup In North Carolina.


The value OF the yield of
maple sugar and syrup IN
Vermont amounts each year
to over $5OO,OO0. and the
sugar-orchard, as the grove
of sugar trees or sugar ma
pies is called is regarded as
one of the best paying parts
OF the farm. Besides its pay
ing so we'll the work comes
in the middle of winter when
there IS little or no ther re-
munerative farm work pos
sible. The conditions in sew
rral of the mountain counties
of North Car Dina are quite
similar to what they are in
Vermont. the winters being
hard and cold and allowing
bat little agricultural work.
Although this isso and there
are plenty of sugar maplesin
portions of the northwestern
counties of this state, the
weld of maple sugar pro-
duets is so insignificant that
this state is not mentioned
as one of the producers of
those articles. 1t could un-
doubtedlv, be made into a
large and profitable indus
try, since maple syrup, espec-
tally when pure, findsa ready
sale in ali towns, being pre-
ferable to mOlasses and cane
syrups. Besides no expen-
sive outfit ia lexuire,l to be-
gin the wosk, other than
what can be made at home
or is usually already on hand
in the shape of cane syrup
evaporators. The North Car
., olina Geological Survey has
published a book on the best
method Of making map't
syrup and marketing it. 1t

The courts of Pennsylvania

any one fails to do this, then
his share is to be divided a..
nong my other grandchil-

to go to the Democratic Ma

THE
 CRICKET CHAMPIONS

OMAHA, July 20.-All-Chicago settled the championship of the Northwestern Cricket Association this afternoon by de- feating Manitoba in a one-inning match by 155 to 132. The match was very pretty and was won by the sharp fielding of Chicago. The heavy batters of the Cana dians seemed afraid of the bowling.
 Minnesota beat Denver by four wick cts. In the first inning the mountain eers were all out for forty, and in the following inning they declared their in- nings closed, with 76 for seven wickets Minnesota went in with forty-five min utes to play and A runs to make. This was accomplished. Calks, for Denver, did ing his bat for Al In the second inning Edmonds and Goodwin of Minnesota bowled a terrific gait, and their hitting was fully as strong as their trundling. They got 20 and 21, respectively.

ONE YOUNGSTER SENT HOME
CAUGHT FoRAGING IN A NEAR
 BY ORCHARD.
The First Regiment Expecting 6 Visit From a Lieutenant of the United States Volun-
 teer Army.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CAMP MONTGOMERY, Santa Rosa, July 20-"Halt and salute the colors'' is the command that rings out sharp and clear to the visitors at the camp of the League of the Cross Cadets, from the sentry who is stationed near the flag pole-that is, if visitors should by any chance neglect to raise their hats on passing the Stars and Stripes, that flutter on big f1agpole at the en- trance of Camp Montgomery. Some of the strangers blush and look embar- rassed at their ignorance of camp rules, but they remove their hats just the same, to pay homage to the flag.
 To-day the guardhouse contained no prisoners, and Father Dempsey, who Is loved by everybody in camp, was in a measure disappointed, as he had pro- cured several dozen bottles of ginger ale to distribute to the prisoners during their term in durance vile. One small cadet in Company F was sent back to San Francisco to-day, for disobeying orders. The lad, accompanied by sew eral companions, visited an orchard, owned by Mrs. Rogers. Town Consta- ble G. H. Boswell was informed of the
 
 party. There was a lively chase. The small boy was handicapped by weight of forage and Constable Boswell caught him. He was released after having been warned by the constable, but Colonel Sullivan decided that he be made an example of and he was ac- cordingly sent home.
 Soon after guard mount this morn ing, stages, drawn by four horses, double seated rockaways and single horse rigs, began to line up opposite the company streets and the vehicles were soon filled with the youngsters, who drove to the neighboring mineral springs to spend the day, singing and shouting all the way.
 Tonight the camp was the scene of a big reception rendered to citizens of Santa Rosa. Elaborate preparations having been made, the affair was a great success.
 The sickest boy in camp to-day was Private Louis Shipley of Company E.. He was unable to drill to-day after having taken a fifty-mile ride on horse back.
 Company A looks forward with pleas ure to a visit from Lieutenant F. S. Drady of the Eighth California Volun teers some day this week. Lieutenant Drady formerly was captain of A and resigned his command to accept a con- mission in the volunteers.
 The Rev. Father Cullen of Sacred Heart parish San Francisco, Is here. He will remain the balance of the week. a guest of Colonel Sullivan. The field and staff officers were the guests of the Rev. Father Cassin, vicar of Santa Rosa, at dinner to-day.
 Great disappointment Is expressed by the officers of the regiment at the departure of Lieutenant Steele of Com pany A, which takes place on Friday. The lieutenant Is one of the commit tee on the field day sports for Satur- day. He received a telegram yester- day from his employer, telling him to return to San Francisco on Friday.
 Harry and William Davis, nephews of the Rev. Father Yorke, visited the camp yesterday. They were the guests of Colonel Sullivan.

GALE VRECKS FISHING CRAFT Lives Lost on Fraser
 River. SMALL VESSELS CAPSIZED FIVE MEN DROWNED AND TEN
 MISSING. But for the Timely Appearance of Tug the Death List Would
 Have Numbered
 Scores.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, July 20.-A. B. Ire gent, the well-known salmon canner of this city, returned to-day after a visit to his Fraser River canneries with a story of death and disaster to many of the fishermen, due to the recent fierce gales along the coast.
 Almost every day since the salmon season opened high winds have pre- vailed, greatly interfering with fishing operations.
 Two days ago, while hundreds of fishermen were engaged several miles of the mouth of the Fraser, they were struck by a gale which threw their frail shells against one another and emptied many of the occupants into the ocean. Great excitement followed, in- tensif1ed by the cries and lamentations of many "klootchmen," who accompa- nied their husbands on the trip. At the time there must have been 150 boats strung out along the coast. and had it not been for the timely assistance of a tug the loss of life would have been ap- palling.
 In the struggle for life which follow ed the squall five fishermen went down, never to rise again.
 Ten more are said to be missing, but the full extent of the fatality will not be known for several days, when the head men of the fleet will reach West minister.
 The scene immediately after the dis aster was, according to an eyewitness, one never to be forgotten. Many of the small boats had been crushed in like egg shells and their owners chung to them like half drowned rats, in several cases fighting like madmen for safe po- SfttOnS. So convinced were many OP tho Indian fishermen that their last hour had arrived that they sent up their weird death song and did not close it even when the tug arrived
