old saying whlcl: might properly be
made to include dog salmon as we'll as
common yellow dog. The dispised
dog salmon which has been profusely
used as fertilizer about Puget Sound
is now worth 60 cents apiece in the
market and shippers who buy them
for eastern consumption says they are
very much better for cold storage pur-
poses than tyee or silverside salmon.

be quite SO finely favored q fish as
some other salmon but it is good and
palatable if the people eating it don't

is all right for the table is the prairie
dog of the western plains. If the man
who first. heard that little animal bark
had called it prairie squirrel instead OF

Remedy for San Jose Scale.

Introduction, as it has long been
known as the harbinger of woe and
financial injury for afflicted orchard
ist. Crude petroleum, according to a
PAPER recently read before the Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science,
is the antidote that destroys and pre-
vents the termination Of San Jose
scales. Experience with crude petro-
leum have demonstrated that it not
only distroys this pernicious insect
but that il stimulates the growth of
the tree to which it is applied. The
results of these experiments have
proved the fallacy of two long stand
ing beliefs, the first and foremost of
which is that the San Jose scales
could only be eradicated by destroying
the tree infested with the bug, and the
second that petroleum baths are fatal
to trees. Oil when applied to the
leaves trees, has bad effect, it is true
but then the remedy referred to is in

.The Old Brig Tanner,


To Z. A. Stevens, of the Western
Union Telegraph Office, the presence
in the harbor OF the brig Tanner has a
greater interest than possibly to any
one else in Olympia. Mr., Stevens in=
terest is of sentimental order, for in
the old lumber carrier of today he and
several who have crossed the dark riv-
er came to Washington. The Tanner
is now loading lumber at the Westside
mill wharf for San Pedro. She is a
pretty old vessel, for in her thirty
three years ago number of the "Mer-
Ger party" famous in the history of
this state came TO Washington.
"On the first day of June, 1866, I
landed in the territory of Washing
ton," said Mr.. Stevens, "and the vessel
that brought our party from San Fran
cisco was the old brig Tanner, now
lying on the Westslde. In that party
besides myself we're my step-father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Man
ming my sister, Mrs. John F. Convey,
now in Japan, and Mrs. D. K. Baxter,
formerly of Seattle, but now dead, and
l.. A. Treen, formerly OF this city,
There was one other member of the
party whose name l have forgotten.
We were por.io of the Mercer party
who had come to San Francisco IN the
old steamer Continental. At that city
we secured passage to the Sound in
the Tanner, and the trip north occu-
pied almost three weeks. AS | look
on the old vessel it does not seem 33
years since first stepped from her
deck onto the wharf at Port Townsend.
Until / saw that the Tanner was in

posed she had gone to the bottom long
ago, for when we came north in her
she was far from being new ship. -

Overland to Cape Nome.

Lovers of adventure and particular
ly that kind involving hazardous Alas
ka winter travel will soon have the op-
portunity of noting the departure of
an expedition from this city which
has for its task the difficult feat of
reaching Cape Nome by an overland
journey from Portage bay, Cook inlet,
across the snow-coyered plains OF the
Alaska peninsular and the lowlapds
beyond the Yukon to the famous
American dlggings. The journey in
cludes $50 miles of "mushing."
The leader of this expedition is to
be L. L. Bales, pioneer prospector
not unacquainted with the dangers
and hardships incidental to travel in
Alaska. Bales arrived in Seattle last
week on the steamer Rosalie from the
Porcupine district. He came out es-
pecially to lead the expedition, one Of
tile principal promoters OF which is
Frank B. Vrooman, of Chicago. There
are to be twenty people in the party.
Some of them are in Seattle, others
are coming from Chicago, and few
will JOIN at Sitka.
The start will be made in February,
the expedition leaving Seattle on one
of the Lynn canal steamers connect
ing at Sitka with vessel, presumably
the Wolcott, which makes Portage
bay, where the overland journey be-
qins. Portage bay is on the peninsula
i25smiles northwest of Kad:ak. From
this point the route lies by way of
IIliamina lake. Bales says the land is
a I-yel as one could wish. He has
travelled the first half Of the route dur
ING winter before, and he stated that
he did not regard the making OF the
entire trip as one Of exceptional hard
ship.-P.-I.

What Expansion Means.

Every patriotic American believes
that when the Stars and Stripes are
raised they should stay raised and
never be pulled down. To this extent
q majority of the people in all parts of
the Union are expausionists. But in
addition to his patriotic motives every
resident of Washington has direct
personal interest in seeing American
sovereignty maintained IN the Philip
pines, in Hawaii or wherever else it
may be declared. He has also the
same personal interest in seeing the
"open door" maintained in China, and
views with satisfaction the efforts of
his government to secure for him
equal trade opportunities with the sub
iects OF the most favored nation on
earth.
This personal interest is actuated
by considerations of commerce, one of
the most powerful motives that impels
man to action. To see American pro-
ducts, American made goods and
American machinery carried in Amer
can ships to the countries of Asia and
Qceanica is the ambition OF every citi-
zen worthy of the name. He feels a
direct personal interest and pride in
its accomplishment, as we'll be should
and does not need argument to con-
vince him that expansion points the
speediest and surest road to the desired
goal. To people like those of Asia,
bound by the traditions of centuries
and hostile to new ideas, the concrete
fact OF American ownership of the
Philippines, the daily demonstration
of American methods and American
progress, will do more toward opening
wide the door of her commerce to us
than all the abstract theories of gov
ernment the anti-expansionists can
put together.
Fer years the resistless energy of the
American business man has been
breaking down the barriers to our
trade with Asia. It has been increas-
ing by leaps and bounds, but we are
only standing on the threshold Of the
time when the commerce of the world
shall roll through our ports. When
the eight million Inhabitants of the
Philippines become exclusively our
customers; when the five hundred mil
lions of people in China awake to
Twentieth century progress and learn
the value of American goods, then our
commerce with them shall increase a
thousand fold and hundred steamers
will cleave the waters of the Pacific
where one cleaves them now. Then
great marts of trade will spring up on
Puget Sound, because Puget Sound is
two days travel nearer the Orient than
any other harbor on the west coast
and is certain to possess a practical
monopoly of the trans-Pacific business.
Manufacturing plants will spring up
in the state by the score to supply the
demand tor their products, and before
many years have passed Washington
will be one of the richest and most
prosperous and populous states in the
Union. 1t is for these reasons that
the wide awake citizens of Washing
ton are expansionists.-West Coast

that Proposed New Rreverv.

The Davenport Republican says
that while the independent saloon
keepers who met at Otto Hartmann 5
Inter den Linden Tuesday afternoon
are endeavoring to keep the matter
quiet, it has leaked out that protec-
tive association was formed aside, to
be operative whether g new brewery
is built or not. 1t is also reported
that S55, 600 has been subscribed to-
ward the brewery fund of $50, 900. II
this amount has really been sub
scribed it seems likely that the brew
ery will soon be built and in opera
ton. 1t was agreed at the meeting
as we'll as at private conferences be-
fore and since. that the management
should rest in the hands of one or two
men, so that no differences of opinIor
among the stockholders could seri
ously ham per the success OF the pro
iect
