Pumpkins in COrnfields.

Pumpkins are usually grown in the
cornfield, under the supposition that
it is economical to grow them in that
manner, but the land does not respond
to two crops as favorably as to one.
The proper way to grow pumpkins is
to prepare a piece of ground for them
and grow them as a special crop apart
from corn. They a be better cult
waited and will produce a greater weight
than when grown in the corniield. AS
a food in winter in connection with
grain pumpkins are excellent, especisI'

ANOTHER NEW LINE.
Freight Carriers Between the Coast
And Honolulu.

a new shipping and transportation
company has just been organized in
San Francisco to operate between that
city and Honolulu. The company was
organized by w. NJ. Campbell who has
been here for some time engaged in
business and who found that he could
not carry on his own business for lack
of freight-moving facilities. He could
not even charter vessels. Mr.. Campbell
came to the conclusion that there was
large business ready for any company
that corid handle it and he has secured
two three-masters and closed a con-
tract for a three masted schooner with
steam power as an auxiliary and ac-
commodltions for forty passengers.
The first of the new line to sail is
the Co sins. which is supposed to have
left San Francisco by this time.

A PARCELS POST SYSTEM.
Action of the National Association of
Manufacturer

The proposed enactment Of a law by Con
gress providing for the establishment Of
parcels system IN the postal service Of The
United States, similar 10 those in force n
England and Germany. is receiving cous.d-
cradle attention as the congressional scs-
sion draws near.
The officials of the Post Office Department
have been carefully considering the matter.
and it is said that the matter may be pr
scented to both houses early in the session.
The latest development in favor OF the
delivery of general merchandise now in
the hands of the express company. 10y
means OF a reduction in the present rate
Tor tourth-clasS mail matter, and in
crease in the maximum weight limit to
eight or eleven pounds. is the enthusiastic
support Of the National Association OF
Manufacturers, one of the most influential
commercial organizations in the world.
This ASSOCIATION has recently adopted
resolutions favoring a postal law establish
ing the parcels post system. and also the
negotiation of parcel post treaties with
other countries. Mr.. Theodore c. Search,
president of the association, residing in
Philadelphia, has been authorized 10 take
whatever steps he may deem advisable in
the matter
At the next annual meeting OF the Man
ufactuTers' Association. to To- held in Jan
uary. the question OF parcels post system
will be taken UP and a plan OF campaign
Will De outlined. hepTeseut atlNes Of the
organization will doubtless appear before
the congressional committees in charge OF
postal affairs prepared with arguments 10
substantiate their demand. In speaking OF
the matter President Search said:
We want q parcels post system for
the carrying of Merchandise at a com
paratlVely low rate. because II is TO the
interest of the people at large. We are
not attempting in any way to direct the
operation of the Post Office Department
but to emphasize the advantages of the
proposed system. together with the com
pensation in receipts which can be ad-
justed 50 as not to increase the eX penses
of the system at large.
1t has been shown repeatedly that vast
quantities of freight under the classical
ton Of periodicals are being carried by the
mails foIrth-class matter, at heavy
loss, while other merchandise is excluded
A much higher rate could be charged for
parcels of miscellaneous merchandise up TO
weight Of ten pounds, with a large ia
crease OF returns to the government, and
yet Impressive saving in convenience
and charges to the producer and consumer
who are al present driven to the express
companies

ANGLO-GERMAN AGREEMENT.
1t Defines Spheres of Influence in
south Africa.

BERLIN, November 10.-The agreement
signed in behalf of Germany and the Brit
ish South Africa Company, binding the
company not to continue its railroad to the
west coast from RhOdesia south of the
fourteenth degree. except from point on
the Anglo-German frontier, has been APP
proved. Germany also will not construct a
railroad north of the fourteenth degree to
the west coast until the railroad is con-
structed south of that degree through Ger
man Southwest Africa.
Afterward Germany signed an agreement
permitting Mr.. Rhodes Cape-to-Caire tel
egraph line to be carried through German
East Africa. in accordance with provisions
recited in the reichstag in March.
The above agreement means that Ger
many intends that any WeStwardly extern
sions of the Rhodesian lines shall connect
with the proposed lines in German East
Africa, probably starting from Swakop
near Walfisch baU which will be much
nearer route from England to Rhodesia
than via Cape Town.

PETITION PRESENTED.
Appeal From II Decision of Two Dis
trict Officials.

The District Commissioners today received
a petition from MIR. Wilton J. Lambert,
who as the representative of Mr.. Charles
H. Perry appeals to them from a decision
of the building inspector and surveyor re-
fusing to allow his client a permit to erect
building upon piece of property near
Brightwood, which the latter has recently
purchased.
Mr.. Lambert states that after buying a
lot in this vicinity, which purported to
front on Niagara street, Mr.. Perry pre-
pared to erect a dwelling thereon, but, it
is said. was met with the objection that a
survey and subdivision of the lot would be
necessary before the permit could issue.
Upon application for this it is averred
objection was made by the surveyor upon
the ground that the lot could not be sub
divided until Niagara street, which so far
exists merely on paper, had been dedicated
and definitely located upon his maps.
As Mr., Perry does not own the land EN-
braced within the street area, 1t is insisted
by Mr.. Lambert that such dedication can
not be made by Mr.. Perry, but as section
five of the highway extension act of 1893
provides that when owners of land convey
same by reference to the maps provided
for by said act, and such deed has been
properly recorded, such reference shall have
the same effect though subdivision had
been made according to law, and Mr..
Perry's deed from the owner of the entire
tract Is said to comply with these require
ments Mr.. Lambert contends that such
subdivision must be considered to be al
ready in existence, and the lines of Mag
ara street permanently located.
In conclusion, Mr.. Lambert suggests that
unless this construction be adopted The
very unjust and peculiar condition Will
be presented of a citizen being compelled
to pay taxes upon county property, which
he may have unfortunately purchased
while because he does not own sufficient to
dedicate a street, he will neither be per-
mtted to erect home for himself or con-
struct revenue producing improvements

Date Of Next Henrinr

Inc next session before an examiner in
chancery in the case of the United States
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, involving the alleged unlawful
occupancy by the railroad company of a
tract of land in northeast Washington. will
occur Tuesday next. At that time counsel
for the defendant will proceed with the
cross-eXamination of the surveyor for the
District of Columbia. The latter in testf-
flying in chief referred to certain mans and
plats on file in his office, the existence of
which, it is said, tend to support the con-
tentlon of the government that the rail-
road company is not entitled to occupy the
land in question.
