trading posts on the coast of Alaska the Chlias sent envoys to the Sticks and proposed peace terms so that their furs could be exchanged. A truce was made by which the Sticks were allowed to come across the divide laden with fur to certain point where the Chilas met them with stock of goods from the store-houses of the Russians and there at stated times of the year a great Indian fair was held. A meeting place was outside of the timber line and as no wood was available the h. dians built stone huts of the most primitive construction and those huts were used in common year after year by the traders. These were the so. called monuments.

TESTS OF ARMOR PLATE
Shot From Ten-Inch Gun Penetrates
 EleYen.Inch Plate Three Inches

During the last week there have been two tests of armor plate at Ipdian Head. The first test was made with six-inch projectiles on triangular six inch Krupp plate to be used on the cruisers Colorado, PennsyvlanIa, Mary land and West Virginia. Three shots were fired. The greatest striking ve- locity was 1919 feet per second. The armor was penetrated only about two inches. The other test was with eleven inch Krupp plate to be used as side armor for the battleship Nebraska, now under construction by Moran of Seattle. In this instance a ten-inch gun was used and the penetration was three inches. Both tests are said to have been successful.
 The navy department is now receiv- ing consignments of armor in rapid succession, the delivery being consid- erably in advance of the demand. In the case of the Nebraska, for instance, the keel was laid only recently and it is not known when the vessel will be ready to take armor.

ILL-FATED GUATEMALA
The Coffee Zone Badly Damaged by
 EruptionS

The entire coffee zone of Guatema'a has been destroyed by the flames ana smoke from Santa Maria's gaping mouth.
 Eruptions threaten the destruction of every living thing within reach of the fumes and fire that pour from the burning mountain.
 A cable to Castle Bros., importers, of San Francisco, received from their coffee plantation men in Guatemala, tells a story of intenselinterest, though the barest details are given in the the message by wire.
 "Last Monday" said Louis Hirsch, of Castle Bros., "I wired to our repre- sentatlves there asking for news of the eruption of Maria, and received in reply this cablergam:
 |" It is true. Enormous losses. Horrible volcanic eruption. Coffee zone destroyed. Our lives are in danger. Further reports will follow
 "The coffee districts referred to-" said Mir. Hirsch. "are the Costa Cuca and Costa Granda. They are the finest plantations in the country. If the coffee district is destroyed, as the cable seems to indicate, one-third of the crop is most likely,involved.
 "This volcano, Santa Maria, is To- cated.between Petalhuleen and Quex- altenango. The towns in the neigh borhood most likely to be destroyed are San Felipe, Mazatenango and Quezaltenango.
 "The volcano has been dead or sleep- ing for many years. 'I was in the dis trict last April at the time when Iearth- quakes racked the coutry. No volcanic eruptions accompanied the quakes, however.

Household Gleanings

All canned fruit should be kept in a cool, dark place.
 Drop little lump of sugar among the turnips while-cooking; it improves them wonderfully.
 Salt should always be washed from butter before it is used for puff paste, as it retards its rising.
 When securing zinc, use little ker- osene or bath brick, pulverized, and lime. Wash in hot water, and polish with common whiting.
 A stone jar with close cover is one of the safest things to keep matches in. Place on high shelf out of the reach of the children.
 Gum arabic and gum tragacanth, in equal parts, dissolved in hot water, makes the best and most convenient mucilage you can keep in the house.
 Scatter salt over soot when it falls on a carpet. The soot will adhere to the salt when brushed up lightly, and leave the carpet perfectly clean.

IRRIGATION SITES
They Will Not Be Chosen to Benefit
 Spectators

The secretary of the interior is not disturbed by reports received at Wash ington that speculators are trying to secure old claims in the neighborhood of projected irrigation sites in hopes that they may hold up the government tor extortionate compensation.
 Said F. H. Newell, chief of the hy- drograhy division: "People who go into that form of speculation are likely to be sadly disappointed. The govern ment will have the right to condemn all claims of that kind and will pay only what they are worth. The onlG rights will be those which have been previously obtanied, for we have thrown lines about the various possible sites and no new claimants can get it. They have been withdrawn temporari- ly. But it is mistake to imagine that every site which has been with drawn is to have Improvements made on it. The selection is not made yet and will not be until the secretary of the interior has said the final word. If it is found that any site is too much encumbered with claims of speculators it will be discarded, and it is possible that the initial project will not be on any of the sites which have been set apart for examination. We shall do just what railroad would do in rush. ing a new route. We may survey and make estimates on half dozen routes and then reject them all."

Monuments Ruined Huts

Archibald Cameron, road superin- tendent, who has just arrived at Vic- toria from Porcupine, says the line of boundary monuments alleged to have been discovered and stated to be the demarcation of the Alaskan boundary are the ruins of stone huts built by the Indians of the interior. where they met those of the coast on neutral Sround about sixty eight miles from the tidewater and about ten miles beyond the timber. land. He describes the or- igin of the huts as follows: "The Tn- dians of the coast and those of the in- terior were jealous of each other; in fact, were hereditary foes, and it was after generations of bitter fueds that an armistice was established between them. Before the arrangement of the aboriginal modus vivendi the interior or Stick Indians were not allowed to hunt or trap on the Pacific slope, the coast or Chilas Indians holding all the territory which lies between the sea and the mountains as their particular reserve.

Immigration Via Canada

Commissioner-General Sargent of the Immigration Bureau, has made public report from Robert Watchorn,

 Watchorn says that.Europeans who ob- viously are ineligible to enter the United States for several years have been directed by Eagents to Canadian points with view to affecting sur-
