REMAINING OUR "COLoNIAL" Posses
sIoNs.-A proposition originates al
the national capital to change the
name of the Philippine archipelago to
Mckinley archipelago" in honor to
the dead President. 1t is thought
that this tribute is better than million
dollar arches or imposing monuments
A detail of this plan is to name the
principal islands after the heroes who
changed the worlds map by wrestling
the islands from SPANS dominion
thus Luzon might be named "Dewey
Island" another "Lawton Island
still another Funston Island" al
along the line of distinction created
by this important epoch in the world,
history. The legality of the sugges
ton, from an international sense, ha.
been considered, and there appears te
be no obstacle to the plan if Congress.

MILLIONAIREs ARE EXEMPT. - II
seems that Banker Ankeny, OF Walla
Walla, whose barrel has been so con-
spicuous for the u. S. Senatorship, for
SO many years, has no respect for the
laws made for ordinary mortals, and
deliberately proceeded to shoot the
life out of the game law. For this act
complaint was filed by the Game
Warden OF Walla Walla county, who
did not realize that millionaire was
exempt from prosecution. But then,
he was punished for his ignorance and
temerity. The banker, it is said, i'm
mediately had the Game Warden's
munificent salary Of 500 per month
reduced to s., the intent evidently be-
ing to punish him as well as to secure
his resignation, SO that silver mounted
rifles might be exempt from the tax
imposed upon the plebian shotgun.
There were doubtless others of the
same opinion, for Mr.. Ankeny was not
arrested, although the complaint was
filed in due form.

cannot fail to be favorable to him,
will not be regarded as a vindica-
ton, because that portion of the pub
lie which believed the absurd stories
against Admiral Schley has from the
first been too small for him to need a
vindication. What is needed, not
only for the benefit OF Schley, but for
the benefit OF the whole American
navy. is vigorous denunciation of the
undetermined methods used by the ma
val clique which tried so hard to down

The Canadian steamship Hating
went ashore during Il dense fog, on
Texeda Island, in the Gulf OF Georgia,

was on her return trip from Skagway.
The weather being calm the passen-
gers were safely landed without loss of
their property, about 100000 in gold
being saved. They were landed on a
small rocky islet, in Tucker Bay, ex-
actly 40 miles from Vancouver.
"Tom" Gums, pilot OF the Hating,
made the trip with a boats crew,
bringing news of the disaster. Steam
ers were at once sent north to rescue
the shipwrecked people. The Hating
is steel vessel of 1894 tons burden !;
and cost the company with repairs
about 100000. She was a 16.mile

Curing Prunes.

Clarke county has long been famous
for the excellence and large yield OF
its prune orchards. TO care for the
product and prepare it for market two
large packing houses have been erect
ed III Vancouver this fall, and they
are said to be the first established in
tins state. The process is so simple
that there is no reason why they
should not be erected wherever the
product supplies more than the local
demand.
One OF the Clarke county factories
has been open less than a month and
already employs about so operatives.
One OF the local newspapers thus de-
scribes the process OF curing the crop
and packing it for the distant mar
kets: The prunes are brought to the
packing house in sacks, then delivered
to the elevator, which carries them to
the top OF the building. Here they
are graded by machinery into the seve-
raj classes to which they belong, re.
spcctive 10 size of fruit, known as 20
3Os, 40-JOs and G0.70s, the term mean
ing the number of prunes required to
make pound. This is done by
screens. From the screens they fall
into bins, and are then steamed,
which removes all dirt, cleansing them
thoroughly, rs we'll as killing all in
sect life or germs. This process also
crystallizes the sugar in the fruit
which gives them a delightful flavor,
and is likened by many to prepared
figs. They are then ready for the
boxes. Two layers are first packed by
hand in the bottom Of the box, the re-
mainder being filled in loosely. A
cover is put on, and the bottom be-
comes the top of the box when opened.
They are put up in 25 and 5O-pound
sizes, and are shipped to all parts of
the country. From 90 to 10 tons OF
packed fruit can be turned out in
day. The season is expected to con.
tinue some three weeks yet.
