The eucalyptus, claimed to be the worlds most useful tree and the source of our future timber and fuel, embraces about 150 species. These are adapted to a great variety of soils and climates. some species thriving in swamps. while others grow in arid deserts. and some reach a great size at six times the rate of growth of the oak. yielding abundant fuel in six or eight years. In Australia, where the trees have been most cultiYat- ed the hardwood timber is not only used for many purposes but is exported 70 many distant countries. Dr. A. J. Me Clatchie, who is encouraging the planting of these trees in the United States. finds that they exert beneficial influence up on the atmosphere by absorbing the water from stagnant pools. changing oxygen to ozone by their exhalations. and destroy ing germs by the leaves scattered upon marshy ground.

Disuse Las caused their limbs to shink, while their trunks have become bloated, giving them an ape-like appearance and gait.

 The thoughts of all scientific men con finue to turn to the marvel of radium which as Prof. c. V. Boys declares, is not a mere mystery but miracle. Radio- activity, first observed in uranium, is the extraordinary characteristic of radium and it seems to be quite independent of chemical combination or chemical change The activity is even increased by the in- tense cold of hydrogen in liquid form Particles of inconceivable minuteness and highly electrified are projected with tre- rnendous velocity, and in the spntharis- cone of Crookes the bombardment of a Atorescent screen by a microscopic speck of ra1ium gives flashes producing the ef- feet of moonlight on rippling water.

ORGANIZED LABOR.
What Bishop SpauIding Has to Say on
the Subject.

Bishop Spaulding sat as member
Of the Anthracite Coal Commission
appointed by President Roosevelt.
Certainly the following words refute
many things that were said and urged
before that commission against or
ganized labor If a man with the we'll
known humanitarian and conserva-
tive views Of this Catholic bishop can
say what he says after all he has
heard and seen as he did the other
day in Peoria, H., surely trade I'M
ionists can dold their heads with the
highest and exalt their hopes to the
loftiest plane of moral granduer:
The cause of labor if rightly under
stood is the cause Of humanity. What
labor demands first of all is not char
itv. but Justice We Americans are too
rapidly using up the resources OF
nature, and We are using up too rapid
" human lives One of the greatest
fallacies Of the age is that money is
equivalent to human lives. What we
need in America is realization OF
spiritual Ideas. and the realization
that the best things in life are not
procured by money. Wages are never
the full equivalent for human work,
There is a quality in all men which
goes far beyond the question of wages.
One of the greatest curses of the mod
ern world is the vast conglomeration
of people in huge cities. The ideal
of civilization is a country of cities
from 90 900 to $4,000 inhabitants. If
it were not for great cities we could
do away with evils brought upon us
by corrupt politicians. There is moth
ing which can give us relief from
these conditions, with the exception
of trade unonism The history of
trade unionism is largely the history
of benefcence The strike is the one
weapon of organized labor. but it is
as dangerous to labor as it is to the
capitalist.

COLLEGE CAMPUS ENLARGED.
More Ground Purchased for State In
Institution.

Pullman.-Valuable additions to the
grounds of the Washington Agricul-
tural college have recently been made
by purchase and gifts of lands ad-
joining the college campus on both
the north and south. A strip of land
on the north side of the campus has
been donated by n. w. Magee and
Harvey & Welty. This strip lies just
north of the girls dormitory, from
which it is separated by a narrow
street of only thirty feet. 1t was
feared that homes might be built on
this street, thus shutting off the view
and crowding the dormitory, and the
owners donated a strip of land which
will prevent any buildings being erect
ed within several hundred feet of the

Last evening the Trades Council
passed vote THANKS to Rev. Austin
Rice and NJ. H. Marvin for the fine
addresses made on the anniversary
of the organization last Tuesday eve
ming.
The Labor Day committees visited
the prOprietors of business houses in
this city and all have agreed to have
floats in the parade and donate many
prizes for the athletic events on Labor
Day.
The labor unions must do their
own thinking and not fOllOy the advice
OOf outside or disinterested parties.
The most miserable failure in life is
the man who always acts on the ad-
vice of others and never follows his
own judgment.
The only way to produce and to
continue real and general prosperity
and happiness is to open natural op-
portuities and to keep them open to
all men equally, and then to let each
individual do as he pleases; combining
whatever else it may be called, to the
simple matter Of seeing that no one
trenches on the equal rights of an
other, thus involving the central
authority's conducting those few pub
lic-service functions that would work
against equal freedom if left in pri-
vate hands.-Henry George, Jr.
When a man of intelligence says
that organized labor has no influence
YOU can mark down the fact that he is
talking through that article of cloth
ing that keeps the sunbeams from his
head.
The American principle of equal
| justice before the law is being viola
lated day after day. The relics Of an
tiquated judicial tyranny are being re-
vived by judges who, assuming abso-

and mete out punishment to them

guaranteed rights Of trial By jury.

There is the problem of our Ameri-

words chiefly, but by our lives and

Ladd Is Making
Good Progress
Channel Has Been Materially

According to the statement OF one Of

reas has been made In the channel In

was but IL feet In depth at low water.
Now the depth is 22 feet. The efforts

widening the channel, and ahe will be

was made by member that the Ladd
had been doing some work below the

the matter and learned that the Ladd
had done no work whatever below As
toria. She has been constantly en-
gagged In the upper channel.
II was reliablytstated yesterday that
there was no fund for improvement OF

Rock For Jetty
Up To Standard
Gives Full Satisfaction to Engin
eers Both as to Quality and
Quantity Furnished.

For some time past the Portland
Journal has been agitating for haste In
Improvement Of the Columbia river
bar. II has charged that there has
been unnecessary delay In the jetty
work. and that the work now being
done is not up TO the standard required
for permanent Improvement. 1t also
charges that the rock being furnished
by the Northwestern Construction Co..
Of this city, is of inferior quality and
size. The Journal quotes some one as
saying:
/ a will tell you how 1t is with that
jetty. No progress is being made at
all, and none will be until different
rock Is used. Any work with that rock
Is simply piece Of inexcusable extray-
agance. II Is like tossing 80 many peb-
bles into the ocean. They are far too
small and most of them drift out with
the tide. Others sink into the sand and
that Is the last Of them.
I'm the rock quarry at Fishers Land
Ing the finest rock In the country could
have been procured, but the agents Of
the government thought they would in
vest In cheaper variety. II time they
will see their mistake. but not until
they have squandere1 good portion
of the appropriation"
T. II. Curtis, president Of the North
west Construction Company. was seen
yesterday by an Astorian man and
asked as to the truth of the statement
that the rock was OF inferior quality
and size. He said:
The statement is ridiculous. A day
or two ago Mr.. Hegardt. the engineer In
charge OF the jeity work, came to me
to ask what class of chain used in
handling the rock. The chains used at
the jetty had been broken, on account
OF the size OF the rock. The engineers
want rock OF various sizes and we are
furnishing Just what they need. We
are sending many trains through to the
jetty every day, and any one can judge
for himself whether or not the rock is
small.
We expect TO commence operations
at the Bugby quarry within few days
and will then be able to handle much
greater quantity Of rock daily. At the
present time we are sending down
from 1000 to 1900 tons every day. Five
hundred meRl are engaged in the
work"
II will be recalled that Portland
firm presented bid for furnishing rock
for the jetty. but the price asked was
very much in excess OF that asked by
the local company. Among those in
terested in the Fishers Landing quarry
are A. l.. Mills and other men who are
stockholders in the Journal Publishing
Company.
The government engineers are very
well satisfied with the quality and
quantity Of rock now being furnished,
and the efforts making in Portland to
knock" the Astoria company will fall
fiat at Washington.
