The Treat Customs To Blame.

G. E. Bragg, of Castle Rock, now at
the Donnelly, has been attending the
sessions Of the Masonic grand bodies
as one Of the representatives of the
Castle Rock Lodge. Mr. Bragg takes
a good deal of interest in the liquor
question says the Tacoma Ledger. In
discussing one phrase Of it the other
day, he said that the American treat
ing custom is what makes the drink
ing of liquor such curse to the
young men of America, who are to be
found addicted to It's excessive use.
They do not care to drink as the Ger
mans do, and probably would not
drink as the Germans do in Germany
it they did, for in Germany it is said
that when man desires a glass of
beer he gets it and pays tor it. If
there are two or more gentlemen to-
gether each pays for what he drinks.
In America it seems to be the custom
that a man will not drink alone.
Frequently he does not want a drink
at all, but in order to do the proper
thing he will invite his friend to h ave
a social glass with him. Perhaps
they encounter other friends where
they go. Each in turn, if lie desires
not to be thought cad by his COM
panions, will then take it upon him
self to pay for it at least one round of
drinks, and the results is apt to be that
all become tipsy before they realize 1t.
They will stand at bar and in order
TO be what are regarded as "good fe..-
lows" will drink dozen glasses Of
beer, where one would have satisfied
their thirst. Mr.. Bragg thinks the
German custom introduced and fol-
lowed here would be blessing to the
country.-Ledger.

Oyster Home At Keyport.

A. C. Little, state fish commissioner,
has returned home from the new oys-
ter hatchery at Keyport, where he
went Friday evening to see how the
eastern oysters, recently planted at
the station, were getting along in
their new quarters.
Mr.. Little found Professor Doane,
Of the state agricultural college, at
the station making ready to carry on
his experiments as soon as the oyster
spawning season opens the latter part
of the month, for the propagation OF
the eastern oysters.
The pound, of about 80 acres, an
arm of Dogfish bay, has been en' lesed
by the building of dyke and gates
put in to regulate the ebb and il " OF
the tide. The oysters are planted in
colonies around on the bottom of the
pound. The larger portion Oh them
will he allowed to propagate in the
natural way, the dyke preventing the
young from destruction by being car
ried away by the tide.
Others will be artifically propagated
various plans being tried with view
to finding out which proves most sue
cessful. One plan will be by sue
cession Of tanks 10 feet long 6 feet
wide and feet deep, on the hillside.
There are six of these tanks set one a
few inches higher than the other in
succession along the slope of the hill.
Each tank has four shelves of half
inch mesh wire cloth, the cloth being
covered with shells and other material
such as young oysters are supposed to
like to tie to when in the floating
stage of their existance.
Water from over the beds is pumped
into the upper tank of the series
| SOiDg Ill db tJC UOtGOtn VI tuC TAIN
whence ii runs slowly up through the
various shelves and to the top of the
tank and thence into the bottom o.
the next lower tank of the series and
so on through. 1t is expected in this
way to catch a few million youns
oyster plants, which, will be set out ir
the beds to grow.
Another plan is by floating tanks
which are covered over the top witt
canvas like a prairie schooner ant
kept open by little schoolhouse stove
While the little oysters skip and play
on the artificial bottom IN the tanl
made of wire cloth, hurlap. sand and
oyster shell.-Tacoma News.

Canneries For Farmers.

The Des Moines Register suggests
that every village in Iowa should
have canning factory. The idea is
good one and as the Register estimates
that canning plant including
three-horse power boiler can be set up
for $3.50, the plan is quite possible and
is worthy of consideration not only in
Iowa but in Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Washington and other states
where more vegetables and fruits are
raised than are needed for immediate
local consumption. Such factories
would only be profitable investment
for those who supply the capital, but
they would be of great advantage to
the town. Products that are perish
able would be saved. Fruits and
vegetables could be sold for better
prices than if they were to be shipped
IN the raw condition to larger city
where a cannery might be in oper-
alton. The canning season comes at
time when school is not in session
and children could find profitable en-
ployment in the factories. The trif-
ling sum that it costs to start a fac
toy would make it possible on a CO.
operative basis aud the operation of
the cannery would be advisable if only
to preserve a sufficient amount Of
fruit and vegetables for the consump-
ton of the people of the neighbordood.
1t would merely be the usual summer
preserving done by the thrifty farm
wife on rather large scale.-Seattle

Mckinley and

Nominated by acclamation.

THE treasure ships from the North
are beginning to arrive, and will pro-
tably add more 10 the nations g Id
supply than last year.
GENERAL Charles King, the gallant
Philippine soldier and story writer, is
lecturing on the Sound this week.
The Washington volunteers have a
warm spot for him.
ALL Republican interest was center
ed in Philadelphia this week, and
there was considerable speculation as
to the candidate for vice-president.
OF course McKinley's nomination was
a foregone conclusion.
THE BOXERS" an organization of
Cinnamon which appears to be very
numerous about Pekin, are making it
warm for foreign residents of all nation
alities. They recently destroyed all
the foreign legations, and killed the
German minister. British, German,
ard American soldiers have been or
dered to the scene, and will probably
decimate some of the surplus popula-
to in that immediate vicinity.
IT IS estimated that the loss in wages
the falling off in trade, damage to
property and extra cost of police re-
sulting from the four weeks strike of
st Louis street car men have aggre-
gated $Z2 100000. Besides this seven
persons lave been killed and over 100
injured, making this one of the most
serious strikes in history. These are
not fancy figures. The commercial
agencies place the loss OF trade at
$3.50 900 a day, while,the loss to the
transit company is 100000 day in
receipts, making The above total. In
addition to these losses thousands of
wrrkmen besides the street car men
have been idle because of the stag
nation in business caused by the strike
and the loss of these idle workmen
are estimated at $4,000 day. These
appalling figures are the best argu-
merits that could be presented in ia
vor of arbitration, voluntary, if posi-
bic, arbitrary if necessary.-Ledger.
JUDGE HANFoRD, of the United
States court, very forcibly punctures
the croaker's cry of "trust," raised
against such organizations as the
Washington Red Cedar Manufacture
ers' association. When he says that
an association that will check the
wanton destruction of cedar trees in
this State by reckless lumbermen for
the sake of spectators, instead of
being condemned, deserves the graft
tude OF commonwealth" he expresses
a sentiment that any we'll balanced
man ought to concide with, while the
part of this recent decision which
says it would be "absurd to compel
single manufacturers to operate
their mills without profit to themsel.
YES, or to forbid them to have cooper
alton for their own advantage" is
both justice and good common sense.
Spectators and sharks who believe
they may use the federal court to
compel manufacturers to continue
indefinitely policy OF running them
selves and competitors, for their own
particular benefit will find their recko-
nings upset by such decisions as that
rendered by Judge Hanford.-W. G..
