Snake and Bullpout.

An amateur naturalist reports an in
teresting struggle he witnessed between
a small bullpout that didn't seem to
want to be eaten alive and a black
water snake that was strictly up
against it," The little pout's side horns
were extended stiffly and proved as eff
fective protection to the fish as though
it were incased in barbed wire. The
snake had caught the fish tail first and
it's puzzled maneuvers when the horn
like projections on the fish stopped its
gorging operations were amusing to
see. The snake finally came ashore and
reared its head against two powders
rubbing up and down and back and
forth in an apparently intelligent eff
fort to rub of the projecting fms of the
little fish. 1t seemed to the Naturalist
quite likely to accomplish this act in {
short time, so he took hand in thu
game, whacking the snake on the heat
with q stick. Out popped the pout int
the water and swan away.-N. Y. Sun.

head of the army, for, in the estima
ton Of the British public, Lord Rob-
erts was one Of the do-something kind
from whom results might be expected.
But even the popular little "Bobs," the
one-time idol Of England. is now get
ting into disrepute because he is not
accomplishing the impossible and MAX
ing the English army in reality all
that is claimed for it on paper.
On paper England is one of the great
military nations OF Europe and the
world, of whom other powers are eX-
pected to stand in awe. In history the
patriotism of her sons and the genius
OF her generals have at times accom-
plished wonders, as for instance, they
squelched the terrible Napoleon-at
the time he was weakest But though
there is on the British arms luster
that is the result of some happy acct
dents in history, II is dimmed to a
certain extent by some memorable de-
feats, as, for instance, two whippings
by this country when we were small,
and fairly good trouncing by the
Beers before her ineXhaustable re-
sources brought a final victory out of
defeat.
On paper England musters an army
OF 100000 men-according to no less
an English authority than Mr.
Charles S. Terrain, author Of an en-
tertaining volume entitled, "The Ar
mics OF the World" Yet no self-re-
specting Erglishman would admit that
there was anything like third of this
number of men in the field in South
Africa, though the officials OF the coun.
try admit that the nation has practi
cally reached the limit of it's re-
sources in men unless the draft was
resorted to. or the colonies came to the
rescue with increased Numbers o
troops.
This paper army, IT must be remem
bered, included not only the regular es
tablishment of Great Britain, but thu
army reserve, the militia, the zoe
| manry and the volunteers at home, TIL
native and English forces in India
| and the militia forces OF all the col
| onies. The following table showing

japanese Concessions Did

ON ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC
Is Now Prospecting Among Oil Fields
of British Columbia and Will
Soon Return to Walla Waila

A F. Perry who left Walla Walla
several months ago for an island west
of the Philippines, where the Japa-
nese government had granted land
concessions of supposed great value
10 Mr.. Perry and several wealthy Cal
ifornians, has returned from the
Orient and is now with B. F. Corey
looking over oil fields in British Col
umbia.
In a private letter, to a friend in
Walla Walla a few days ago, Mr..
Perry did not say why his stay on
the island had been SO short but it is
surmised that the large holdings of
land he and associates were to be
granted were not of sufficient value to
induce them to locate. The Japa-
nese government is DESTROYS of devel-
oping vast areas of plains and rich
bottom lands on islands owned by
the government, and through an in
fluential friend, Mr.. Perry and several
Californians were able to secure sew
eral valuable concessions that bid fair
to make them wealthy in a very few
years. The valley lands they were to
secure a lease on for many years at
a nominal yearly rental were suppos-
ed to be excellent for agricultural
purposes, while the more mountainous
regions were to be devoted to stock
raising on a huge scale.
Just why Mr.. Perry did not make
his stay on the island extended will
probably not be known until his re-
turn to Walla Walla in a short time
He is largely interested in oil wells

Of the party seeking the cure. Does
he really want to be cured OF the habit

wills there is a speedy and positive

next 80 days is of very small proper
tons. We cannot look for liberal
export movement much before Octo-
Der. Exporters have great difficulty
in securing options on wheat at pres
ent, as the farmer is quite plutOcrat
this season. 1t is unnecessary to say
that present values will tend to delay
action or free cling and probably
sellers will hold off for some time be-
fore parting with their wheat, as all
of them anticipate higher prices than
the market will warrant and it re-
mains to be seen whether the urgency
to sell is less or greater than the
pressure to buy. In the former case
farmers will get full export value; in
the latter case, should shippers nee
essities become very urgent, compe-
titiOn might become so active that
figures above relative value would be
paid But from the fact that there is
not likelyl to be any important need
of wheat for 80 to 60 days, and that
there is always certain number of
holders who sell Immediately their
crop is harvested, it seems more
probable that there will be no trouble
securing wheat for early loading.
Farmers will no doubt get al the mar
ket can stand after allowing for a
legitimate profit for handling and
usual rick of shipment Quotations
for old wheat are 7Sc for club, SIC for

are not turning out as well as expect

Mackerel Scarce This Year.

Boston, Mass, July 30.-According
to reports OF returning fishermen
mackerel are about the most difficult
fish to find and catch this year of any
sort fishermen go after. Schooners
have secured the Georges, the Bay of
Fundy and the Maine coast without
success. 1t appears from what they
report that the schools of fish sup
posed by some to be mackerel are
really herring Or porgies. In places
the waters swarm with these two va
rieties, but not sign Of mackerel.
