WASHINGTON, August 21.--In re-
sponse to letter OF inquiry from the
Postmaster General, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson has approved the re-
quest of the California State Board Of
Horticulture that postmasters at Pa
cine coast points of entry shall sub
NIT all mail matter from Hawaii and
the philippines containing fruit or
Plants to the horticulture officials Of
the Pacific coast states for their inspec-
tlon before delivery to the addresses.
me executive committee of the Cali
fornia Board had forwarded resolutions
asserting that large number of pests
were carried in the horticultural pro-
ducts sent from those islands. Sec
rotary Wilson says in his reply that
the quarantine service which Califor-
MIA has been carrying on for some
years to protect the State from in
furious insects, especially from Asiatic
and Australian ports, has done admir-
able work and has saved the agricul-
turial and horticultural industries on
the Pacific coast from great loss. If
the instructions to postmasters sug-
gested can be Issued, he says, the pro

Yacht building has become an Indus
try of rapidly growing Importance In
st. Louis and other large cities of the
central west. where the element OF
cheapness in lumber, other things be-
ing equal, makes 1t possible to turn
out substantial boats at figures which
would be ruinous to an eastern yacht
builder. Frederick Wood of Provi-
dence, owner Of the Arrow, has ordered
a forty-six-footer from a st. Louis
builder, which will be shipped east In
sections and finished at Pawtuxet by
Capt. II. A. Randall. The frame will
be built in the st. Louis shop. then
taken apart and the sections so marked
that there will be little difficulty In
putting the BOAT together upon Its ar
| rival at the eastern shipyard. 1t Ii
said that the saving in expense Is sc
great that other Providence yachtsmer
will follow Mr.. Woods example.

Mason was n man OF about %, and

been so hammered into him in his

impossible to show what his real opin-

George again. Her fathers death had
been a shock. but hardly In one sense
a grief: for she had not seen him since
