Outlook for Truckers.

While the fruit and vegetable grow
ers in the section around Humboldt
have had a good deal of bad luck
with their plants on account of the
cold weather, indications point to a
fairly good average of tomatoes this
season. Through the severe weather
of February some of the farmers be-
came scared and fired the hotbeds too
much and almost burned the plants up,
while others did not fire enough, and
let the plants freeze. Many of the
growers were discouraged, but replant.
ed seed, and the prospects now for a
good crop are very encouraging. The
growers who had to replant their seed
will be a little later than usual,
though the greater part of the crop
will be on time.

AMERICANS IN ENGLAND.
They Will Shortly Have a Club in
London the Equal of Any in
the United States.
DESIGNED TO FILL A LONG-FELT WANT.
1t VIII Be the Nest Expensive Club
in England, the Entrance Fee Be
ing Fifty POunds-Ladies Will be
Allowed the Privileges of Certain
Rooms.

London, March 16.-The report that
Americans will shortly have Lon
don club equal in excIusiveness and
permanence to any of the leading
clubs in the United States, is con
firmed. An influential Anglo-Ameri-
can committee has been formed fol-
the purpose of arranging all the de-
tails and getting the organization
ready prior to the coronation OF
King Edward. Among the committee
are Lords Kintore, Suffield, Craven
and Marcus Beresford, Maj-Gen. Sid
Reginald Pole-Carew, Anthony Drexel
and Reginald d. Ward. Other prom
inent men, both British and Amert
lean, are expected to join the organ
izing body in the near future. The
clubs name will probably be the Co.
lumbia, and it's quarters will be in
a large building now occupied by the
Avondale hotel. Picadilly, near ST.
James street. The object is to afford
Americans, who are barred by their
nationality from several leading
London clubs, a social headquarters
in the British capital such as they
the privilege of admission to certain
rooms, including the dining room.
When started this will be the most
expensive club in England, the en-
trance fee, 6 so, being more than the
fee asked by any English.
Any members of the leading Amer
lean organizations, such as the Union
and Knickerbocker clubs, of New
York; the Somerset club, of Boston,
and the Metropolitan club, of Wash
ington, will be admitted without bal
lot, for temporary membership. To
quote one of the founders of the
club: ''It will be a club de luxe I
where the American of good social
standing can feel as much at home
as they would at the Metropolitan
club, of New York, and yet have the
opportunity of meeting the incest
people in England on equal terms

oldest English clubs passed a bylaw
prohibiting Americans from becom-
ing members

One of the largest package dye factorie.
in the world is that of the Putnam Fadeles.
Dyes Co., Unionville, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. Tt
put up this amount of dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes, thinl
of it, seven millions of envelopes laid length
wise would reach distance of seven hun
dred miles; if laid one upon the other they
would make pile of Putnam Fadeless Dye:
A miles high. As each envelope has to be
handled, five times before package is com
plete, the completion of three millions o.
packages requires that they be handled
thirty-fve. million times. This of course
gives employment to a number of people
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone
employ. almost a hundred people, 80 pei
cent. of whom are young ladies'
As each package retails for 10c the weight
of the retail price of the three millions pack

A Fish Story.

A remarkable story comes from the
vicinity of Iloilo, Montgomery county,
A section Of country in that neighbor
hood, about one mile long by half a
mile wide, was visited by a regular
waterspout. The rain came down in
torrents, accompanied by hard hail
storm. The water stood from four to
eight inches on level in places. The
remarkable thing about the storm was
the shower of turtles and small fishes
which is reported to have fallen. The
turtles were of the Spanish snapper"
variety, such as are found in the lakes
of Cuba. They were alive and of bril-
liant coloring. The fish were from
four to six inches in length. This
story is vouched for by reliable parties,
who claim to have seen the fish-turtle
shower.
