Cultivate Your Orchard.

The present seasons apple crop in
whitman county proves that if orchard
lists would meet the world in a cOmpeti
tive market they must look closely to
conditions, says the Garfield Enterprise.
The subsOil a trife short on moisture
this year told plainly on the size OF the
fruit; a rainless period in autumn, with
held the ingredient with which nature
prints the bright hues so attractive in
the apple; an unusually severe wind
squall in midsummer battered and dis
figured many specimens, but doubtless
in many cases the damage attributed to
the wind was caused by the new plague
that has attacked a wide area in the
northwest this season, namely the scab.
Three classes OF evils, then, are to be
met and overcome, soil moisture must
be boarded diligently by thorough cult
walton; diseases must be kept in check
or eradicated by systematic persistent
spraying; and pruning operations must
contemplate an arrangement of foliage
open enough to admit light and present
each apple in position to have the sun
rise bushes painted on it's cheek.

Information comes from Olympia that
charges have been filed with s. H. Mich
OILS, secretary of state and ex-oficio in
surance commissioner, against the
Northwestern Mutual Fire Association
Of Seattle. 1t is charged that the asso-
citation has falsified its returns to the in
surance department, and that it has
been writing business in violation of law
in accepting risks on which the standard
rate is in excess of 3 per cent. The law
provides that mutuals in this state must
not accept risks where the regular rate
as fixed by old line companies, is in ex.
cess OF that rate. Complaint was made
to the insurance commissioner last June
regarding the writing of grain and it is
understood that the commissioner at
that time warned the company to cease
writing that class of business.

CENTRAL MUST PAY UP.
New York's Comptroller Moving to Col

NEW YORK, June 15-Comptroller
Grout has begun crusade against the
New York Central Railroad to get COM
pensatfon for the city for the privileges
enjoyed by that corporation. The comp
troller contends that the railroad makes
inadequate financial returns to the city
treasury. For the use of the tunnel to
be constructed according to new plans
the comptroller asserts that the New
York Central must pay as much as is to
be paid by the Pennsylvania Railroad
for Its franchise, for the North River
tunnel. Should this decision of Mr..
Grout be ratified by the board OF esti.'
mate. which will shortly pass upon the
plans Of the Central. that road will have
to pay into the municipal pocketbook
at least $2.65O. 200.
The comptroller will also insist that
the New York and New Jersey Tunnel
Company, now completing the old North
River tunnel, shall pay corresponding
price. This company will cross only
three blocks. and for that reason the
amount it must pay in comparison with
the other roads will be small.

The house. which was occupied by
negroes, was set on fire by the explosion
of a gasolene stove.
Detective Sergeants Miller, Weldon.

the vicinity. went into the burning house
and cndeavored to smother the flames.
In the meantime Operator Coghili had
called out No. IA Engine Company, and

call the members of that company were
on the scene of the conflagration. The
