Rain Retards Planting, But Proves Bene

Rain Retards Planting, But Proves Bene-
fetal to Growing Crops.
Briefly summarized, the weather of
the week ending May ) presented some
unusual and interesting features. Sun
shine was generally deficient, and, in
some sections, the rainfall was excessive.
The thunderstorm of April 30 caused
considerable damage, as many buildings
were struck by lightning.
Crop growth in most localities con-
tinued at normal rate. The rains have
kept the ground too moist in the north
ern portions of the section, while they
are reported as being of great benefit
in the south. Although the ground has
been too wet for much work in the way
of preparing the soil and planting, yet
crops already planted are making good
progress. Stock is fast being turned out
to Craze. In Connecticut tent caterpil-
lars are abundant and the Larvae of the
cooling moth are making their appear
ance.
Oats are showing up we'll IN the south
ern states and are being sown on the
uplands of the north. Winter rye is
bCSiuLiuH W Htdu III luc NdIulcT stC-
tions, and reported as In good condition
in others. What little wheat and barley
there is sown is also looking well.
The correspondents almost unani-
mously state that the grass crop is in
firstrate condition, the rains that have
retarded planting having been very ben
eficlal to it.
A continuation of last weeks condi-
tons prevails as regards the outlook for
the fruit crop. Cherries. pears and
plums are showing a full Towering, with
the blossoms beginning to show red on
early apple trees. Strawberries are re-
ported as badly winter killed in Maine
and portions of New Hampshire. but
looking well elsewhere.
Gardens are In good shape; peas, beets,
and some early-sown beans, with few
potatoes, already up and looking well.
The seeding of the potato crop in Aroos-
took county has been delayed by the
dampness of the soil. Asparagus and
garden dandelions are being marketed.

The perpendicularity of monument

sun. On every sunny day tall monu-
ment has regular swing leading away
from the sun. This phenomenon is due
to the greater expansion of the side on
which the rays of the sun fall. \ pen

A Pleasant PrOsDect,

\ young man named Mooney enlisted
in the army. After he had been in In

pathetic letter from his parents which
said that if he did not send them some
money they would be forced to go to
the Workhouse.
The young man sat down and an
swered the letter as follows:

keep out of the workhouse for six
years and seven months until l come

Several punches of beads are neces-

and the joining made without trouble.

Gravel Roads,

Although it is impracticable and in
many cases impossible for communi-
ties to build good stone roads, a surface
of gravel may frequently be used to ad-
vantage, giving far better results than
could be attained by the use of earth
alone. Where beds of good gravel are
available this is the simplest, cheapest
and most effective method of improv-
ing country coads.

SENATORS MEET
IN AT TERNOON

At the afternoon session of the SEN
atorial Commission yesterday S. M.
Damon, A. S. Humphreys and e. s..
Boyd appeared before the Commission
ers. Mr.. Damon related the history of
the million dollars of Hawaiian coin
age introduced under Kalakaua by Mr..
Spreckels, and spoke of the bad results
that would be likely to accrue from any
reputation. He instanced the general
features of the circulation of the local
silver currency and concluded with the
statement that he believed the pass
age of the bill now before Congress
would furnish a remedy.
A. s. Humphreys appeared as a citi-
zen of the Territory and the bar. He
spoke lengthily on the labor question
harshly criticizing the immigration of
Oriental labor and the treatment the
laborers received Much of his testi-
mony was a direct contradiction OF
that offered by Secretary Cooper. He
asked for many alterations as to quail
fications for voters, governorship and
senatorial honors, attacked the appro-
priations and the attorney general and
| suggested that various alterations IN
| judicial affairs.
e. S. Boyd continued his testimony
and invited the Commission to visit the
| public lands in question. He spoke OF
the division of crown lands whose
| leases had fallen in, and described the
homesteaders on Hawaii. There was q
| little tilt between A. S. Humphreys
and the speaker on account of a sar-
castle intersection by the former. Mr.
Boyd stated that there had been no in.
stances of transfer of more than 1901
acres of land to corporations from pri-
vate parties, described the sub-leasing
of the Punchbowl crown lands and con-
| cluded with his expressed belief in the
/ system of the government holding the
| lands and deriving revenue from then
as being best suited to local conditions

LONG VOYAGE ENDED.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 31.-A
voyage of 1850 miles has just been
completed by the steam schooner Re-
dondo. Fifty-five days ago she left
Toledo, Ohio, and made the voyage to
this port, stopping on the way only
long enough to take on coal. The Re
dondo was built for service on the
lakes, and was purchased by Swain "
Hoyt of this city to ply in the coast
lumber trade. Several months ago
Captain c. n. Krog was sent from this
city to bring the vessel out. He took
her through Niagara canal and down
the st. Lawrence river. She passed
within a mile of Martinique, and Cap
tain Krog states that smoke could be
seen issuing from Mount Pelee. The
Redondo is 200 feet in length, IA feet in
depth with a beam of SO feet. She has
been chartered by the Truckee Lumber
Company, and will ply between Tilla-
nook and Redondo. She brought out
1000 tons of freight.
