RAD CALIFORNIA WEED.

Seattle, July 3l.-Fruit Inspector
W. ii. Brown has male the DISCOVERY
OF plant introduced in large quanti.
ties from California which NAV cause
much future trouble to the farmers I'M
less some measures are taker to cheek
its growth. He considers il as great a
pes as the Canadian or Russian thistle
and is drawing the attention OF the
county attorney and county commits
sioners to its appearance, that its
spread may be checked.
This weed is called the wild morning
glory, and is vine resembling the
common domestic flower. Its roots
strike down into the ground to a great
depht, and for this reason it is almost
an lmPosslblltiy to get rid of it once l.,
has acquired foothold. 1t NAV be
burned low, or Otherwise desroved. but
a new growth will ass, TT itself in a
weeks time, and consequently it is one
Of the strongest enemies the farmer
has to meet and fight.
The weed will not only attack veg.
etables, but once the seeds are sown in
strawberry patch It grows 60 Iuxuri-
antly as to greatly interfere with the
small fruits.
Immense quantaities of the weed ar
rive from California as the protective
covering on the mouths of sacks of no.
tatoes, Onions and other vegetables.
Inc vines are at present covered with
capsules containing the ripe seeds, and
these are mischief bearers if once tbev

ItiIsIG ALTON SCHEME
Great Reservoir in Mountains Near
Walla Waiia.

Walia Walla. Aug. | Government
engineers, who have spent considerable
time along the south fork of the Walla
WalIa river the pat three months,
have guarded,y admitted that stupen-
do is scheme is being conside ed for
storing waters of the stream to be used
for irrigation purpose. The scheme,
as it is now under consideration, is for
the construction of huge dam across
the canyon at the Reddin place. back
ing the waters into the mountains for
a distance of five miles, and pipe it
from the level across the high range
OF hills to the vail below.
1t is estimated by the engineers that
section OF country embracing the
Wallula sand belt. thirty miles long by
nearly as many wide, could be watered
at slight cost, the largest item of ex-
ptnse being the construction of the
dam. If the proposed plans are car
ried out, as it is practically admitted
they will be in time, the dam necessary
to keep the waters in control will form
one OF The largest pieces of masonry
work in the West. 1t is estimated that
it would have an entire length of 300
feet by lS5 feet in height and 40 feet
wide at the tase, tapering to a mini
mum thickness OF "a feet at the top.
A final survey of the land under the
proposed reservoir is expected to be
made within the next two months.
The engineers report, together with
the estimated cost of the dam, Will
then be forwarded to the government
bureau for final consideration.

STOPS WHEAT EXPORTS.
Russia EnfOrces Law Prohibiting
Shipment from Nawchwang.

Peking, July 29.-The Russian adj
ministration of Newchwang has stopped
the expectation of wheat to Japan. The
export OF grain from Chinese ports is
illegal, but the Russians heretofore
have ignored the law. During the past
week the Japanese obtained many ship
loads from Newchwang, apparently pre-
pairing for war contingencies.
Gen. Kondradovich has been placed
in charge of six armed commercial
boats which will navigate the lao riv
er. This is construed here as another
sign of Russia's intention to retain
Newchwang and the command of the
river. Great numbers of Russian civil
iaps and soldiers with families, it is re-
ported, are being brought into Man
churia, it is believed in pursuance of a
plan to rapidly COLOMBO the province.

r THE THEOBALDI CONCERT

- To those who had never heard a clever
exponent of that school of Violinists Of
which Remenyi was the most recent bril-
liant example, the playing Of Ole Theo
baldi at the Swedish Temple last evening
must have. been a revelation. That it
was enjoyed was sufficiently attested by
the rapturous applause which followed
some of. the more ambitious numbers.
With his violin, an instrument Of great
resonance and fine quality, the player es-
sayed to initiate almost everything from
the, lowing Of cattle and bleating of sheep
to the song Of the wood birds, the play
ing of a band and the march of an army:
TO be sure, it required good deal Of
Imagination at times and some of the
song birds seemed to have suffered from
an attack of the grip, but the work of the
Violinist was, clever nevertheless, and he
did not disdain to even use his mouth as
an additional sounding board to secure the
the effect of distance when desired.
- Theobaldi's playing, instead of being ar
tistic, was most inartistic. Capable Of
good things, his work was careless and at
times even nuddled. But a single num-
Der of the program, "Aases Tod from
the peer Gynt Suite afforded the player
any opportunity of justifying himself as
an artist. and as worthy of a place among
violinists Of note. This he played con-
considerable feeling. The either number
proved to be a sentimental composition
which Theobaldi played ON the autoharp
and the effect Of which was heightened by
the players giving to his instrument a
constant swinging motion 1t was very
sweet but of no musical value. The
player did not reach Minneapolis in time
to have. a rehearsal with Miss Mamie
Swanberg, who was to have served as his
acconpanist. and he played without the
assistance Of the piano. re-. -. ~ -Z--
3 The evening was redeemed unsteady by
a number of part songs by the Orpheus
singing society, Wibergh's "Linnean,' .
which it has sung in public before, being
the best number. J. Victor Berguuist is
the director and he secured some excellent
results The solo work bX-K. o. Ekman
was especially, good. Mr.. .Ekman's voice
is a. musical, sympathetic barytone, which
he uses with much taste and with good
effect. The Lindblad chorus, Hearts and
Nature was also very well sung and was
encored. i. g,
