The impression that an increase of
rates of fire INSURANCE. upon business
blocks would follow that on dwellings,
schoolhouses and churches. which was
recently announced is generally disap-
pearing and the agents of companies
doing business in Augusta seem to be
of the opinion that there will be no
change unless something remarka bic
happens in the way of a confiagration.
1t is thought that the rates might be
advanced under those circumstances
but unless something Of the kind should
happen. the rates will probably re-
main unchanged.

For an April snowstorm, that of Sat
urday WAS about as finished an article
as could be desired. The first few
flakes, almost as fine as rain, began
falling not lCng after midnight. 1t was
not one of those storms where the
flakes come floating down like feathers,
III sort of hesituting way. as if al
most regretting that they had come
but il came as if it had some object
in coming, and with a brisk northeast
wind behind it, possessed some of the
characteristics of small sized biz
Zard. 1t was about as steady a snow
fall rs any we have had for the winter
and when it ceased. toward noon. about
five inches had fallen. AS far as dis
aSreeablenesS went it was as bad as
anything encountered for a long while
and the milkmen reported their morn
ing ride Il tough one. One of the most
disaSreeable places in town was the
kennebec bridge and Il passage over
that structure, in the full force of the
storm, was full OF discomfort. The
storm caused no trouble tb travel by
delaying trains, as Saturdays trains
were Oh time, and the electric cars were
running regularly, all day.

IN STAGEiAND.'
Some Fine Attractions Booked For
Augusta Opera House.
Among Them "Sisn of the Cross"
BUSY Ivy" and Grand Parada.

A whole lot of good things.
theatricaly speaking, are heading to-
wards Augusta, so that the amusement
loving portion of this citys population
may prepare to see some of the best at
fractions now on the road. To start
with there will be when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" which appears
in the Opera House ON Tuesday night
of next week. OF course, as is suG-
Gested by the name, it is a war play, or,
more properly war opera, and it has
won unstinted praise in all the cities
in which it has been presented. The
piece is full of stirring war songs, all
of which are rendered in a most pleas
ing manner by a chorus that is costum-
ed most uniquely for these days. In
the costuming of this opera the styles
of the war times days have been fol-
lowed in every particular. The COM
pany which will appear here played in
Salem, Mass, recently and received
splendid notices from the papers. Fol-
lowing this piece the next attraction is
The Silver Slipper which will be seen
in Augusta on Tuesday night, April 26.
This is a tuneful opera which has been
most successful in the big cities and on
the road.
On Thursday night, April %, our
theatregoers will have an opportunity
of seeing the stage version Of that
famous book David Harum." The
company which will present the play
here is under the management of Jules
Calm, which ought to be sufficient
assurance of it's good qualities. The
Real Widow Brown" which has before
been seen on the Maine circuit, will be
here OH Friday night, April 30, and on
the following night The Sign of the
Cross will be presented here for the
first time. This play is one that at
tracted a great deal of attention during
it's metropolitan season and as it is I'M
derstood that the company which is TO
present it here is a strong one, it should
prove a good attraction.
Following this there will be week
of repertoire, the Jarside, COndit &
Mack Company being here the week of
May 2, with the exception of one night
(Friday) when AN American Hobo"
will be seen. The week OF May the

given iii Bangor a few years ago by
local talent and arrangements are now
being made with. Capt. Eddy, who
directed the Baligor performance. to
have charge of it here. The date has
not yet been decided.

Speaking of the schooner c. w. DeX-
ter, which sunk at her wharf at Cal
ais, Friday night, a Randolph man
states that the craft was built at this
city, many years ago, for the New York
trade. She was originally intended for
a propeller and was so constructed and
a wheel was furnished, but that meth
Cd of propulsion did not work well and
sails were finally substituted. Later,
the Dexter was sold to parties in Cal
ais and has since sailed from that port.

the green fly, the little fellow that
roosts on the under side of plum tree

if in agony. They are reported there

EnoIish Walnut and Fruit Coloring.
Mr.. Walden's remarks as to the En-
glish walnut in The Ranch lead me to
say that have found this tree grow
ing in several counties of the Puget
Sound region and everywhere promls-
ing WELL 1t buds and blooms out
late and generally escapes damage
from frosts. Away up on the north
bend of the Snoqualmie, against the
base of the foot hills, it is one OF the
most certain of yielders of any OF the
fruit bearing trees. 1t is found all
over King county and giving great
promise Also in Skagit and What
com counties after the trees attain
sufficient age it is a sure bearer. And
the nuts almost invariably fill we'll,
which is not the case with the other
nut producing trees in this region in
general And with my experience
of the past twenty-five years in West
ern Washington I have no hesitation
in saying that if l were younger man
would rather plant an orchard OF the
English walnut for special profit here
than one of any other fruit
In the Yakima region or other irrl-
gated sections the orchardist has ever
a sure means for giving his apples an
extra bright color. This is not done
by boring holes in the trees and the
incubation of the same, or the soil at
their base with the application OF any
form of drug, as might be very mys-
teriously recommended by the usual
horticulture quack. But this color
ing can invariably be obtained by US
ing an excess of water on the soil at
ter the fruit is partially grown in size.
This peculiar effect of an excess of
water l have observed many seasons
on my farm on the Skagit river. In
some seasons the river is unusually
high during the summer months, and
at such times certain portion OF the
apple orchard is practically under
water for six or eight weeks. The
effect upon the trees is to arrest
growth to a certain extent and to add
color to the fruit. The Spy and other
varieties of the apple take on most
brilliant hue, while on trees adjoining
on higher ground the same sorts are
without color. J. F. CASS.
