A YANKEE TRICK.
Canadian Steamship Owners Given
Lesson.

Washington, March 3.-The attention
of the treasury department has been
called to the advertisements Of Cana
dian steamship lines soliciting freight
to be shipped during the coming sea-
son from Seattle to Cape Nome, Alaska
This was done upon the erroneous as
sumption that Cape Nome would pc
made a SUPPORT Of entry of the United
States. The route of these shipments
it was intended should be from Seattle
to Vancouver by rail, a distance OF 90
or 60 miles, thence to Cape Nome by
steamer, thus evading, according to the
officials, our laws which prohibit Tor
eign vessels from carrying goods from
one port in the United States to an
other. The department. in view of this
fact has decided for the present at
least not to make Cape Nome a sub
port of entry, leaving St. Michaels the
nearest port to the new gold fields.
The effect of this action will be to pre-
serve the trade with Cape Nome to
American vessels.

RID OF HESSIAN Ely.
Indiana Farmer Kills the Fest by Use
of Lime.

Peru, Ind, March 3.-Lewis Perrison,
a farmer near Pokagon, north of this
thus far successfully made toward rid
dance of the Hessian fly, which has
been so destructive to the wheat. Peril
son says that he anticipated trouble
from the fly and in September last in
a thirty-acre field of wheat he soWed
a barrel of air-slacked lime on the field
as soon as it was up, using a hand
sOwer or fiddle. This he repeated in
few days and later went over it the
third time. The result showed that
there was not a fly in the whole field,
nor the eggs of one, while the fields ad-
joining his were full of them.

reduction in the city debt amounting
to $50. $40. "a. 1t is a record in
which all of our citizens may take
pride, for our municipality, upon its
administrative side, is nothing more
ton in which every taxpayer is n
stakeholder. A bona fide reduction in
the debt of nearly $2lO0O in a single
year Is certainty Il holdpit sitHlcNS-

the right of the present administra-

and esteem of our ctiZens-irrespec-
