WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Helena, July 18.-Haying is beginning
generally throughout the state; the best
reports come from the eastern portion,
while in the central portion the crop
is. good along the bottom lands and
short on the uplands. The wheat crop
remains about the same as has been re-
ported in former bulletins; irrigated
grain crops having a decided advantage
on account Of the light rainfall, which
has been equally distributed.

UNITED STATES
WANTS TOO MUCH
Opinions of Minister of
Justice Of Canada.
BOUNDARY LINE OF ALASKA
ONE OF THE POINTS NAMED
DOES NOT EXIST.
Hon. David Mills Thinks the Rule Of
"What We Have Well Hold"
Applies in the Boundary
Dispute.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct 6.-Speaking at
mass meeting on the Alaskan boundary
question, Hon. David Mills, Minister of
Justice of Canada, said
while we are prepared to make con-
cessions in regard to trade and to estab-
fishing a friendly feeling we are unwilling
to surrender any portion of Canada to the
United States. L have no desire that the
people of this country undertake to ac-
quire territory that does not belong to
them, but [ would like to adopt the rule
that what we have We'll hold
In 1924 the question arose between Rus
sia and Great Britain in regard to the To-
cation of the boundry between the fishing
posts that Russia had and the trading
posts of England in the interior. The
question was in regard to the territory
north of 54.40. All south of 54.40 was ad-
mftted to be the property of the United
States, and the treaty of 1924 was made
for the purpose Of drawing line between
the territory of Russia and Great Britain.
The treaty does not refer to anything
south of $40. All it deals with is the ter
ritory north of that latitude. The treaty
provides that the boundary begin at the
extremity Of Prince of Wales Island and
from there up Portland channel to where
the 56th parallel touches the shore. But
ascending Portland channel the direction
is not northward, but eastward, and it
would be strange If Portland channel was
intended. To ascend northward to where
have to ascend Clarence channel where
there is point where the 56th parallel
touches water. There is no such point on
Portland channel. Then the boundary is
to follow the line of the coast range no
matter how high or how low the range
may be. But If the range recedes from
the coast more than thirty miles, then the
boundary is to be drawn at thirty miles.
There are points where 1t cuts through
the mountains. According to international
law, say you do not go around such
arms. but from the crests on one side to
the other. The treaty also provides that
ships OF each nation have a right to trade
IN the waters for a period of ten years.
II the American contention that the line
passes around each arm be correct there
would be no water in British territory,
and that clause would be absolute non
sense.
According to the treaty the line must
be drawn so as to leave some portion of
the sea in British territory. We offered
compromise, allowing the United States
70 nave Dyea and onaguay and give us
Pyramla harbor. They said No, we will
not compromise, and we cannot arbitrate,
Tor the arbftrators might decide against
u.s.. Give us everything in dispute and we
Will arbltrate the remainder
we are in favor of a fair and lust set
tlement, asning nothing we do not believe
Is ours, and II mistaken arbitrators will
Qeclde against us and we are content
But we are never content to have our ter
rltory squatted upon and held by squat
ters right OF few years standing"

PLACERV|LLE'S
BONDS RELEASED
City Government Will
Be ReOrganized.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PLACERVILLE, Oct. Ga compromise
has been finally consummated by the
citizens committee of fifteen and Drury
Melone whereby the city has at last come
into possession of the railroad bonds is
sued by it in the early sixties to assist
in the construction Of the old Sacramento
Valley Railroad to this city. The COM
pany failed to build to the city and the
municipal authorities refused to make
any provision for the payment of the
bonds In 1872 the city government re-
signed and since that time Placerville
has been without any local government.
The debt. with accrued interest, had
reached a total of $2S4, 300 An effort was
made by Melone at the last session of the
Legislature to secure remedial legisla-
ton that would enable him to secure ser
vice upon the city. The bill was fought
bitterly, The Call coming to the rescue
of the city, and was finally defeated. At
ter the defeat of his bill Melone agreed
to take the sum of $36 $50 % in full settle
ment of all the outstanding bonds. His
terms were accepted, and los of the prin-
cipal property Joined in a note
for that amount, which was given to
prominent San Francisco bank and the
money used to purchase the bonds.
The city government will be at once re-
organized and a new set of bonds sold and
the note liquldated.
The debt has been a great incumbrance
upon Placerville for more than a quarter
of a century, and every resident of the
city re1oices that the compromise has at
last been completely perfected.

VALUABLE STAMP.
1t Was Burned Up After Many Trav-
els and Adventures

OAo anu
In the year 1851 a twelve-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed bv
the Government at Ottawa The public
did not regard this somber issue with IA
vor, so few were issued
One of these stamps was sent ~ tba
Hamilton Postoff1ce, where it was sold to
an old gentleman, who said II was q
shame to print the Queens picture on a
stamp stamp that might be handled by profane
hands Tenderly the gentleman put 1t on
a parcel, sending 1t to friend in the
United States. Here. in the waste basket
1t lay for many a day, till an errand how
found 1t and quickly transferred it to his
lection, and his fever for stamps some
what abating, he sold them to a dealer
The new owner. on looking at the cata
logue, found that what he had paid S. for
was worth $25
Accidentally this stamp was slipped into
a 25-cent packet and sent to a dealer re-
siding in Hamilton. When the latter
opened the packet he was astonished to
honest. wrote his friend to inform him Of
what had happened. Offering him $1,000 for
It. The offer was accepted and the stamp
again changed hands. BY this time the
few came from a distance to look at the
treasure. One day an English nobleman
who through a Canadian friend had heard
of the stamp, offered $500, which offer
was accepted. The English lord, falling
in love with an American heiress and
wishing to gain the favor of her brother
presented him with the stamp as a token
of esteem. Here, in its new and luxuri-
for one day the maid by mistake swenf
the stamp, which had accidentally fallen
out of the album, into the fire. In an in

FilipinOs Frightened by the
Formidable Preparations
Made by America.
DEWEY 50 BELIEVES
In the Return of Insurgents to
Their Farms the Admiral Sees
Signs Of DisintegratiOn.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, YELLING
TON. HOTEL. WASHINGTON, Oct g.
Admiral Dewey believes the report taken
TO Manila yesterday by Dominican
friar that Aguinaldo had issued orders to
Filipino soldiers in northern provinces to
return to their towns and resume farm
ing. The admiral is Of the opinion that
such a move on the part OF Aguinaldo
indicates that the insurgent commander
IS weakening as a result Of the formid-
able preparations being made by this
this Government to suppress the insur-
rection during the coming dry season.
The returning of the soldiers to their
homes is, the admiral believes, the be-
ginning of the disintegration of the in
sUrgent army, and he urges that rein
fOrcements for both the army and navy
be sent as expeditiously as possible to
Manila in order TO demOraliZe rebels be-
fore the dry season begins.
Rear Admiral Watson and General Otis
were informed by cable to-day that the
Brooklyn, New Orleans. Badger and
Nashville had been given orders to pro-
ceed to the Philippines and that more
vessels would follow. Commander Rog
ers of the Nashville informed the Navy
Department in a cablegram received to-
day that he had already sailed for San
Juan. Porto Rico, where he will stop
and replensh his coal supply The
Nashville should make the trip to Man
la in between seven weeks and two
months.

TWO MEN ROB A
GAMBLING HOUSE
Faro Dealer Held Up
With a Pistol.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Oct. 6.-The Palace
saloon and gambling house, owned by
Gus Hirschfeld, was held UP at 2:30 o'clock
this morning by two bandits and $245 was
secured. Mr.. Hirschfeld was behind the
bar when the robbers entered the saloon.
They came in with their faces hidden be-
hind handkerchiefs and danced about the
room, brandishng their six-shooters, each
man having two guns.
Mr.. Hirschfeld thought it was joke
being played on the place, but when one
of the men approached the faro game and
ordered the dealer to hold up his hands
the proprietor saw at once that the men
meant business. One of the robbers stood
in the center of the room guarding his
pal who was robbing the bank Nh;
Hirschfeld secured his siX-shooter and
fired at the robber who stood guard. The
robber returned the fire, but neither bull
let took effect.
The robber who went after the money
grabbed at a pile of So gold pieces as the
shooting was going on, and the money
was scattered over the floor in his eX-
citement. Both men escaped. There were
but few people in the saloon at the time
of the robbery, and those who witnessed
it could not give any description of the
robbers, so that the police are working
without a clew.

ARMY MULES LOST
EN- ROUTE TO MANILA

WASHINGTON, Oct. GA cable mes
sage from General Otis to the War De-
partment brings word of the loss of sew
eral hundred horses and mules on the
transport Siam. The message reads as
follows:
MANILA. Oct. 6.-The steamer Siam.
which left San Francisco on August IS
with As horses and 32S mules, encountered
typhoon on the 21St in Northern Luzon,
in which all but about sixteen mules per-
lshed. The animals were killed by the
pitching of the vessel and lack of air
from the necessary closing of the hatches
There were no casualties among the pas
sengers. OTIS
1t is stated at the quartermaster' de-
partment that the mules which were lost
on the Siam were trained pack animals
and considered the most valuable sent to
the Philippines.
MANILA. Oct 6.-The Siam. which left
mules aboard, encountered several ty-
phoons early this week. One lasted forty
hours. Most of the forage, which was
on deck, was swept overheard, all the
boats were smashed in, and the steamer
rolled tremendously in the trough OF the
sea, although the officers made every ef-
fort to bring her about.
The mules were hurled from side to side
and frightfully mangled and disemboW-
eled. Their legs and necks were broken
and the wretched animals fell in such a
confused mass that the attendants were
In the meantime the deckload was
washed of, the ship hghtened and the
rolling increased
When the storm abated the injured ami
mails were killed and their carcasses
thrown overheard. When the Siam ar
rived her propeller was high out of the
water and the wrecks of her boats were
hanging from the daVits.

PROTECTING THE FORESTS.
Work of Forest and Water Associa-
ton During the Year,

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-W. C. Kerck-
hoff, president of the Forest and Water
Association of Los Angeles, said to-day
in reference to the work of the associa-
ton:
THE Forest and Water Association had
in contemplation the thorough explora-
ton and mapping of our forest reserves.
but owing TO the shortage of funds has
not been able to send out a properly
equipped engineering and surveying party.
However. the students of the forestry
branch of the University of Southern
California volunteering to do this work,
the association arranged for j. H. Nicoll
and G. c. Manning TO go into the San
Gabriel forest through the San Gabriel
Canyon and make thorough report on
the varieties of timber and brush growing
in the forest reserves, reporting the
growth on each quarter section of the
territory investigated; also noting the
best possible points for starting replant-
ing.
1T is not expected that the association,
with its available funds, can do much in
the way of replantihg, but it is thought
that If it can be demonstrated that this
work can be done at reasonable cost
that the Government may possibly be in
duced to make appropriations for this
purpose.
The association has also been gather
ing a lot of seed Of the native growth,
as well as the seed of the Sequoia Gigan-
tea of the Northern Sierras, which it in
tends to plant out during the present
fall.
1--WE were all pleased this year, not
withStanding the extreme dryness, that
est fires, due undoubtedly to the greater
vigilance of the forest patrol. This
should be very much increased, and it
should be possible with the proper super
to restrict still further the forest fires,
perhaps entirely prevent them"
