Will Have A High Time.

The citizens of San Juan, the capital
of Porto Rico, propose to display their
patriotism and fidelity to the govern
ment of the United States by celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July in good Ameri-
can style. A committee OF % San
Juan citizens have prepared an elabor-
ate program for the occasion. There
will lie addresses by prominent citizens
upon the significance of the day and
at night there will be great display
of fire works. In order that the dis
play may meet expectations, the COM
mittee requested Acting Secretary OF
War Meiklejohn to have the govern
ment waive the tariff on the fire works
needed for the occasion and have them
sent to San Juan on one of the govern
ment transports. This request Acting
Secretry Meiklejohn promptly granted
by cable.

Combating the Oyster Shell Scale.

The Kitsap County Inspector says
that the oyster shell scale is beginning
to hatch out and offers the following
recommendation:
Any one can find the young insect
by closely examining an infested limb.
Tiny white specks will be seen ranged
along side of the old scales, and all
along the limb, even the young apples
are covered already where the scale is
numerous. The young scale are easily
destroyed if steps are taken at once.
For the first week or two of their lives
they are not protected by the hard
shell which gives the insect It's name.
During this period it can be easily
killed by a thorough spraying with
kerosene emulsion made after the fol
lowing formula: Kerosene 2 gallons,
one half pound whale oil soap; dis
solve the soap in one gallon of boiling
water, mix with oil by thoroughly
pumping together until it forms a
cream. When using dilute with eigh-
teen gallons of winter.
Any orchardist whose apple trees
are infested with this pest ought to
spray at once, as week or two will
give the young time to form its pro-
tecting cover, and then kerosene emul-
sion is not strong enough to kill it.

THE Fourth this year ought to be a
big day throughout the country. Last
year the Fourth brought glorious
surprised, but its celebration had to be
impromptu. Much has happened dur
ing the last year to make an American
feel proudly patriotic as we'll as expan-
sive. The heroism of the army and
navy has been simply unsurpassable.
Cuba has been freed and the work OF
humanity carried throughout It's bor-
ders. Our flag is up over new posses
sions that broaden the destiny of the
nation. It also waves over the widen
ing lines of our devoted and victorious
army in the Philippines. A year SC
full of brilliant national achievement
naturally suggests national holiday
of both an o.d-fashioned and a new
fashioned kind. If the Fourth of 1898
fits the circumstances, and Of course II
will, the day will be memorable

Output Of the KlOndike.

Official estimates of the gold output
of the Klondike for 1899 go as high as
$19,OOO,O0O. 1t is large yield, but
does not compare with the gold out
put of California from 1S49 to 1861,
as will become more apparent by refer
ence to the following table: 1S49,
$4O,OOO,OOO; 1852, $6O,OoOOOO; 1853,
$65,OOO,O0O; 1856, $55,OOOOOO; 1857,
$50, 100000; 1858, $5o,OOO,OOO; 1859,
$50,OOO,000; 1860, $45,000,OOO; 1861,
$40,000,OO0. 1t was not until 1872
that the annual gold yield of Califor-
MIA fell to 100000.
If Alaska is to be a permanent factor
n the gold yield of the wo rid, pay ore
must be found in It's quartz veins, and
that has not yet been discovered on the
Yukon, says the Spokesman-R Review.
Placer diggings are soon exhausted.
A few seasons of activity, and the
gulches once noisy with industry, will
be deserted. Towns which sprang up
in year, will languish and be forgot
ten. If pay quartz is not found around
Dawson City, the time is not distant
when that busy camp will become a
memory with Orc Fino, Elk City, Wild
Horse and a score of other placer
camps of almost forgotten glory.

The scarcity of paper money is not
due to tie treasury department, but
is apparently caused by increased busi-
ness operations. The treasury has
only twenty millions of paper in its
vaults, while June l the amount Of
paper money outstanding was 81, ,l22,-
545,4l7, of which $55,00O,OOO was in
81 notes, and nearly $500, 100000 in
fives. The treasury and sub-treasury
vaults are full of gold, as are the banks
of the country, and it may be, if busi-
ness continues to increase, that people
will have to use gold. 1t is no hard
ship on this coast, where currency has
always been the exception. Ledger.

Crop Condition.

The governments June crop report
shows that the condition of winter
wheat is only 67.3, indicating but two
thirds OF normal yield from the acre
age harvested. In other words, with
the acreage practically the same as
last year the yield of this class of grain
promises to be 100000 bushels
smaller than in 1898. But this is only
part of the loss, for more than 4,OO0,-
600 acres seeded to winter wheat last
fall have been plowed up because the
crop was wholly killed. At an average
yield of twelve and half bushel to
the acre this represents an additional
loss of $4,000, 900 bushels.
Very severe weather in the latter
part of last winter was responsible foI
some of this tremendous destruction
But the loss from this cause was sup
plemented by the work of chinch bugs
and Hessian flies in the central west
ern region. Perhaps these insects ate
up anywhere $l0,000,000 to $20,000,-
900 worth of wheat. Spring wheat
is in fair condition and, with the large
acreage and the large reserves, there il
every prospect OF a supply ample fol
all domestic needs and furnishing ar
exportable surplus of 150, 900, 900 bush
els or more. But the damage to the
winter grain will fall hard on many
localities. Kansas, for example, will
have only about third Ct last years
crop and Illinois will have only q
handful.
The question is whether it is not
possible to measnrably defend the
young plant from such distinctions az
overlook it this winter and spring,
especially that caused by insects.

To SaYe The Fir.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

Alfred Gaskill, special agent of the
Division OF Forestry, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, is in Seattle
charged with the preliminary investi-
cation, looking to more thorough and
minute study os the growth, conditions
quality and value of the red fir of Wash
lngton. Red fir is the department It'll
given for the Douglas fir, Oregon pine
and the other local terms by which
the chief forest tree of Washington is
distinguished.
"1t is generally admitted. said Mr..
Gaskill, "that in this tree the State
OF Washington has perhaps the richest
wealth of timber that can be found in
this country. 1t is to the interest Of
the state as we'll as to the individual
owners that this wealth be not lost.
Many of the communities of the East
have realized when it was almost too
late that the wealth residing in their
forests had been squandered and that
any attempt to restore conditions at
all like the preliminary one would be
immensely expensive in time and
money.
"The desire of the Division of For
restry is to conduct this investigation
with the interests of the landowners
and lumbermen altogether in the fore
ground. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary
to revert to the fact that this interest
of the individual is identical with that
of the community, and anything that
will tend to preserve to the state and
its citizens this wonderful wealth would
find support on every hand
"Brlehy stated the division proposes
to locate several camps in convenient
situation and devote the whole sum
mer to thorough and systematic
study of the question in all its bear
ings, particularly the rate of growth,
the development of the trees, including
! variety, soil, climatic conditions and
the effect that fire has IN retarding
growth.
"To this latter cause, perhaps, more
loss is due than to all other causes
combined, and while the principle of
prevention of fires is one that admits
of little discussion, absolute knowledge
Of the exact effect of fires on growth,
young or old, and on the soil, is de-
cidedly lacking"
Mr.. Gaskill proposes to cover this
section of the state pretty thoroughly,
when he will be joined by the Chief
Forester of the Division, Mr.. Pinchot,
and number of men who will con-
duct the investi ,ation. The special
agent expressed himself as much
pleased at the reception already ac-
corded him IN this state, and the evil
dent deep interest shown in the pro-
posed work.
| Mr.. Gaskill will go into the woods
tomorrow and will only occasionally
visit the city, making it kind of base
of supplies. Until he looks around
he will not know just where he will
locate his camp.-Seattle Times.

STAMPS on documents have produced
more revenue to the government the
past year than was received from the
tax on spirits, beer and other fermented
liquors, being estimated to amount to
$44, 600, 900 by July /. The tax on
legacies produced a million dollars,
while bankers paid three millions extra
beside the stamp tax. With the pro-
ceeds of the war revenue tax and the
extra expenses of the war eliminated
from the account, the surplus for the
past year would have been over w,
