Whatcom, Sept. 7.-All day q high
wind has blown from the east and the
forest fires are looming up in all direc-
tions. The timber is perfectly dry. One
big fire has started about four miles out
and tonight the volume of smoke arising
is enormous. While there is no danger
to this city, reports come in showing that
the plank roads and some bridges, and
in places farm buildings, are menaced.
A shower yesterday did some good, but
its effects have passed OF.

Seattle, Sept. IA large sale Of school
lands will be made by the county auditor
at the court house, September 81. An
entire section of timber land will be dis
posed of. The value of the land itself ID
appraised at 81 900. The timber il APP
praised as being worth t13, ,237 .25. The
appraisers fall below the actual value Of
the land and timber by large figure,
and owing TO the value of the latter
much competition is expected. The
land in question is section 10, township
"a, range east.

Seattle, Sept. Late Alaskan and
Klondiks arrivals report that navigation
on the Yukon, especially the lower river,
is drawing to close. Already one
steamer, the Lightning, of the Dawson
White Horse Navigation Company, Is
laid up for the season. The other lower
river steamers will make one more trip,
arriving at Dawson about the last OF Sep
tember. The water in the Yukon flats
near Circle City is very low and heavily
loaded boats have hard work in getting
through.

main streets Of the city early in the aft

the street cars were crowded until the

been introduced within about ten years

still make their main crops of the older

provide large amount of valuable

leave a space of about III inches be-

chicks that are Matched I'm February,
March and early April, there Is no
question but what June and July hatch
ed chicks may be made profitable, pro-
vided they are kept growing at the
greatest possible rate all through the
summer. The present season, owing to
the rainy weather, the early hatches
were very poor, and where the hatch
Ing was done by the old hens 1t seemed
almost impossible to get enough hens
In broody condition to do anything
along this line. so that this year. more
than for several years previous, there
win be very many late hatched chicks.
June and July hatched chicks should
have all Of the green food they can OBJ
tain on good run, fed carefully with
small grains, and. while not being over
fed, should have food every time they
show any inclination Of being at all
hungry, the plan being to make every
day count In giving them weight and
strength. This treatment should be en-
forced regardless Of the destiny of the
chick. II It Is to 60 into winter quar-
ters to lay at the proper age, It will be
all the better for the treatment indi-
Gated, while II It is to be put on the
market In the early fall, 1t certainly
would be more profitable to have It Of

Strawberries shonld be set out now as
soon as possible. IF dug from last years
beds take only the new plants which
have not borne fruit. In sending for
plants, it is best to order only those
known as staminate or perfect flowing,
which will produce q crop whether mix
ed with other varieties or not. Pistillate
varieties which lack the stamens must
be planted in alternate rows with the
perfect kind or they will not bear. OF
perfect kinds. Bederwood, Lovett,
Splendid, Nick Omher, have done we'll
on the station grounds, and of the Pts
tilate, w arfeld, Haverland and Crescent.
Strawberries need liberal supply Of
manure and abundant moisture until
the crop is picked. The ground selected
should be low if sufficiently well drained.
1t IS better to pillow in fall, turning un-
der the manure, but if plowed in spring
pillow shallow and cultivate down to
smooth bed. The simplest plan is to set
plants two feet apart, in rows four feet
apart, keep blossoms picked off The frs It
year and cultivate one way frequently.
The runners are allowed to grow and
form matted row. The bed must be
covered with three inches of straw .afser
the ground freezes. Leave the straw on
in the spring till the growth starts
strongly, to retard the plants and avoid
injury from frost. This straw should
be raked of the plants but allowed to
lie between the rows where it mulches
the ground and keeps down weeds. The
crop is not cultivated the second spring.
70 renew snch bed for another crop
NOW off the weeds, grass and foliage
after harvesting the crop, and remove.
Sometimes this can be burned il light
and dry, in q brisk wind. Then pillow or
cultivate the bed leaving strips Of plants

strips ont with hoe taking out old plants.

DISPUTE OVER UNIFORMS. 4
Controversy Between Gen. Miles and
the 9uartermaSters OF the
j. Army.

There is q controversy going on at
the war department. over the adoption
Of uniforms for the enlisted men. Some
time ll ago Gen. Miles, commanding the
army, submitted recommendations at
fecting the apparel of the soldiers.
Among other things he suggested, the
campaign hat, with broad brim, one
side OF which was turned up and
fastened with a cockade The effect
was somewhat triking, and the design
was adopted from a British design
The army quart ermaat ers resented the
interference with their work by Gen.
Miles: They have shelVed the sugges-
tions from Gen. Miles, and there Is 8
good deal Of i'll feeling on the subject.

: SMALLEST OF THEIR KIND.
The Dwarf Cattle of Celeben Are N.
Larger Than Ordinary Full
. Grown Sheep, .s4es

Celebes had the distinction of being
the home of the smallest living repre-
sentative of the wild cattle, or, indeed,
of the wild cattle of any period of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group ap-
pears to be known to science. An
idea of the extremely diminutive pro-
portions of the anoa, or sapi-utan, as
the animal in question is respectively
called by the inhabitants of >Celebes
and the Ma!A:s, may be gained when
it is stated that its height at the
shoulder is only about three feet
three inches, whereas that of the
great Indian wild OK, or guar, is at
least six feet four inches, and may,
according to some writer's, reach as
much as seven feet. In fact, the anoa
rs really not much, if at all, larger
than well-grown South Down sheep
and scarcely exceeds in this respect
the little domesticated Bramini cat
tie shown few years ago at the In
dian exhibition held at Earl's Court,
says Knowledge. "a:
The anoa has many of the charge
fers OF the large Indian buffalo, but
its horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
we'll as in certain other respects, it is
more like the young than the adult of
the last-named species, and as young
animals frequently show ancestral
features which are gradually lost as
maturity is approached it would be a
natural supposition that the anos is
q primitive type of buffalo. s.s
