WhOse Orders Govern4

Buffalo. July 9.-Lieutenant-C Col
onel Dougherty, Seventh United States
infantry, has arrived here under orders
from General Miles to take command
of Fort Porter, which, since the abb
sence of the battalion of the Thirteenth
infantry. has been garrisoned by a com
pany of the Seventh.
Major Auman, who was with the
Thirteenth infantry at San Juan hill,
is at present in command of Fort
Porter, under an order of the secretary
of war, issued April 5. 1899, directing
him to take charge of the fort during
the absence of the Thirteenth in the
Philippines. AS the orders of the Sec
retary of war are believed to take pre-
cedence over the orders of General
Miles, the question is to be submitted
to the war department as to who is act
ually in command of the post.

A Distant Market For Flour.

The Big Bend flour mill at Daven-
port, Wash, annually ships hundreds
of barrels of flour to the Orient, where
it has built up reputation that gives
it steady sale. The other side of the
Pacific, where the countries are dense-
ly populated furnishes market for a
vast quantity OF American flour, and
heavy invoices are shipped direct to
that foreign market from the home
mill. AT the present time the Big
Bend mill is turning out several thou
sand barrels of its superior brand of
flour for Japan, and this is cnly the be-
ginning of what promises to reach
greater shipments in the future to the
Japan market.

Beet Sugar Mt Oxnard.

Times are lively in and around the
big beet-sugar factory at Oxnard, Cal.
Fourteen thousand, nine hundred and
fifty acres of beets have been planted
in that vicinity and are now being pre-
pared for harvest. Over 1000 men are
engaged in thinning the beets, for
which service they receive $l.40 day,
on an average. The new crop will
amount to about 200, 900 tons of beets,
and when these are put through the
big factory the result will be that
about 10000 tons of refined sugar is
ready for the market, for it is esti-
mated that the crop will average about
1S per cent saCChrine matter. A large
deal has just been consummated, where
by the American Beet Sugar Company,
which owns the Oxnard factory, has
purchased the large Patterson ranch,
which contains 5000 acres. The pur-
chase price is said to be over $500, 900.
This Is the largest single purchase put
through in many years in Ventura
county. The new factory now has a
capacity of 1900 tons of beets per day,
and since the capacity was recently
doubled, it is now the largest sugar
factory and refinery in the world.

Honolulu, July 23, via San Francis
GO, July 3l.-The volcanic eruption on
Mauna Loa is still in full blast. The
lava flow is apparently filling up the
table land, and Hilo and the whole
island of Hawaii are enveloped in
smoke. Vessels encounter dense clouds
of smoke hundred miles out to sea,
and navigators are seriously inconven-
fenced. Kiaua is also smoking freely
and indications are this volcano will
soon be in active eruption.
Frank Davey, photographer. has
returned from visit to the volcano.
He says there is series of eight era
tiers; five of them were dead, but ap-
peared to have been active quite recent
ly. One of the others was belching
forth smoke and fire and molten rocks
of great size. According to Davey, the
rocks were as big as horses and went
so high that they cooled before falling
to the ground again. 1t took Davey
and his party 10 hours to ascend the
mountain from the active crater to the
summit, where their horses were left.
Two men became delirious from want
of water.
The trip is described as terrible one
in the extreme. All around the top
of the mountain was cold, but at the
crater it was very hot. The extremes
were such as would knock most any
body out.
