this crop is $500,000,0 600.
There seems to be lot of color about
the beast First it is white AS it
gets older the body becomes chocolate in
color. The wings at first turn clear
wine color and then become darker. Some
adults are black instead of dull chocolate
and some are light brown.
The weevil is largely snout. At the
end of this apparatus are small claw
like jaws. With these the weevil eats a
hole into the cotton boil. Most folks
think it bores the holes. 1t doesn't seem
to be very important point, though.
The result is the same.
The weevil varies from three-sixteenths
to three-eighths of an inch in length.

big enough to have been mentioned in the

SENTIMENT ALL IN FAVOR OF
MORE RAILROADS FOR TACOMA

Much satisfaction is being expressed in
regard to the prospects of the coming to
this city of the Union Pacific railway.
The feeling is gaining ground that this
road is assured, and the general sentiment
is that it can do more for Tacoma than
any other, although any transcontinental
line would be given the same encourage
ment
This town can never make proper
progress" said w. E. Bliven, cashier OF
the Lumbermen's National bank, until
we have more railroads. The Northern
Pacific is splendid road and has done
a great deal for Tacoma, but the city is
greatly handicapped by being a one-rail-
road town. We must have at least one
more road by all means, and that road
should be the Union Pacific.
"The way to hasten the arrival of that
road is for every man, woman and child in
Tacoma to work for it and talk for it all
the time"
General Manager John T. Bibb of the
Tacoma Grain company expresses himself
on the railroad proposition as follows:
eve want more railroads and want
them badly. We will never have the right
kind of town until we get them. People
looking for a business location don't want
to 20 to a town where one railroad has a
wire fence around it.
ct would mean a great deal to Tacoma
to get the Union Pacific here. 1t would

COUNCIL WANT
CHIEFS SCALP

SEATTLE, Jan. 5.--With a request that
he remove John Sullivan from the office
of chief Of police, six members of the
city council yesterday afternoon called
upon Mayor Humes.
The committee waited upon the mayor
in his private office in the city hall and
was in conference for more than an hour,
during which time the mayor was ten
dered verbal evidence OF malfeasance in
office. This malfeasance was alleged
against Sullivan by man who represent
cd that he himself had had dealings with
the chief Of police of a nature which would
warrant the preferring of the charge OF
taking bride.
Mayor Humes advanced a counter state
ment to shield Chief Sullivan from the
accusations, in which he pointed out that
in his belle fthe charges were inspired by
well known local gamblers. These he be
lieved were anxious to secure Sullivan
removal because the latter had been max
ing war upon certain members of the Grim
inal element who, the mayor said he had
been informed, were demanding protection
from these gamblers, they being unable
TO extend it on account of their strained
relations with the head Of the police de-
partment.
1t is now known that Charlie Clancy is
the man who gave the information to the
councilmen.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-01-05

quite the latest discovery in that neigh
borhood is a natural soap mine and a
paint mine. A syndicate is working the
mines.
The bottoms and shores of these lakes
are incrusted with a natural washing COM
pound, which contains both borax and
soda. Numerous tests have proved that
this substance is quite equal to any of the
washing powders that are now in use in
the household. Blacksmiths and farm
workmen have tried it, and it has been
shown that it will remove the grease and
dirt quicker than soap.
Already about 275 tons of the com
pound have been cut and taken out of
the lake, being handled precisely as ice
is handled The syndicate hopes to have
an exceedingly prosperous career.
1t is suggested that a combine of the
various astronomical observatories in the
world should be formed, with a capital
of $40 100000 This astronomical trust
will lay out the heavens, each observatory
being allotted certain portion to watch.
BY this process of confined observation
it is hoped that much more valuable data
will be obtained than by the present
method of unorganized and disorganized
inspection.
A Sydney company is now being formed
to obtain gold from the sky. Of course,
it has long been known that gold has been
detected in sea water, but it has now been
found that it is also present in atmos-
pheric dust. Several Australian meteor
ties have been discovered which, under
the microscope, show minute particles of
malleable yellow metal exactly resembling
gold. Western Australia is trembling at
the thoughts of the new company.
A syndicate has fitted out an expedition
to Coeos island, from British Columbia.
1t appears that Admiral Palhser, who had
charge of the flagship Imperieuse, claimed
that he had seen the hiding place of
large amount of treasure in that island.
A guide has been sent to lead the expedi-
ton. in return for a quarter of the pro-
ceeds for Admiral Palliser and twentieth
for the guide.
When the admiral found the treasure, it
was covered with great slabs of rock; he
blew up the rocks with dynamite; after
wards he buried the valuables, so that
thew would be safe until the expedition
could remove them.
Several members of the English house OF
commons have formed syndicate for the
purpose of recovering the jewels and gold

SOME FREAK COMPANIES WHICH
HAVE BEEN RECENTLY ORGANIZED

Freak corporations are becoming more
popular every day and hardly day passes
that the list is not increased
One of the latest companies which has
been formed is to exploit the moon as a
screen on which to project advertise
ments. The home of this advertisement
company is San Francisco, and the pro-
motors are confident that they will be able
to do every thing to make this scheme eff
fective.
The company has stated that by com
bination of X-ray and wireless telegraphy
it will be quite easy to project advertise
ments upon the moon. 1t has been cal
culated that they will be able to clear
at least $40 900 for every full moon.
Another company has been promoted to
convert the multitudes of sharks in Cen
trail American waters into walking sticks
and other useful commercial products.
This company will turn the sharks fins
into Jelly and timed soup, which will
come as a blessing to all true connoisseurs.
Fine machinery oil is to be made from
the sharks ivers, while handsome leather
quite superior to alligator skin will he
made from the sharks skins. lnnumera-
bic articles will be made from the jaw
bones and teeth. Really handsome walk
ing SllChS VIII DC Hldue IIOHl Jue DdCk-
bones.
Another company has been promoted
in order to bring before the public IL new
method of destroying mosquitoes. Late
ly it has been discovered that a certain
number of musical vibrations viii cause
complete paralysis of mosquitoes. Ger
tain music notes have an immediate effect
in destroying mosquitoes.
1t seems that not only do these notes
arrest the fight of the insects, but also
they will hurl them from the ceiling or
the wall onto the floor 1t appears that
this is due to the strange construction of
the mosquitoes auditory system, which
causes the insect to Immediately plunge
to the spot whence the music starts.
A company has been formed for the pur-
pose of seeking out Noah's ark. it is
stated that on top of Mt. Ararat Noah's
ark still remains preserved by eternal
snow. The promoters think they will
make a large amount of money, as they
win be able to turn the ark into paying
property at the worlds fairs and great ex-
hibitions.

STEEL TRUST
VIEWED THROUGH
GERMAN GLASS

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga German
view OF the American iron and steel in
dustry has been made public by the state
department in this city. 1t is taken from
the records of the German imperial office
of the interior. The report says;
From the swapping of the German
market by American cheap-priee produce
one would suppose that the American met
alurgical industry can produce cheaper
than the German industry, which is, how
ever, not at all true, so far at least as
iron and steel-making is concerned.
Judging merely from the prices of ore,
coal or coke, lime. cost of transportation
and labor, the price of a ton of Bessemer
steel at Pittsburg, even to the United
States Steel corporation, does not fall
below $3.50 To Sl3; the price is about
Sl5 for plants less favorably situated than
the United States Steel corporation with
regard to coke, ore and transportation
facilities Even in Alabama the cost per
ton of cast iron cannot, under existing
conditions, so below $40 or $ll. The cost
of partially and totally finished steel
products is higher in proportion as the
amount of labor embodied in the product

VERY SMALL BUG AND LOT Of TROUBLE

ton growers together in conventions and
10 cause CONSERVATION to cotton interests
in every part of the world. So big that
il a man could discover remedy for the
pest they would set up for him, IN the
middle of Texas, a monument so high it
could be seen all over the country.
Government experts have camped in the
weevil country for years without finding
"a remedy. Secretary Wilson, who made
a personal investigation says it's job
like trying to abolish the house fly.
Spraying the plants would not bother this
Mexican in the least. The eggs are de-
posted in holes in the cotton bolls. 1t
takes about fifteen minutes to dig hole.
When the egg has been deposited the
opening Is covered with glue. That pro-
tects the egg from ants, dew or the deadly
poison that some scientific party might be
intent on applying thereto The full
grown weevIl reeds with its snout buried
deep in the plant, safe from any con-
Eliminating liquid.
The weevils have wings, but do not fly
much. They do not need to. A scientific
investigator saws they "go about from
plant to plant by slow, sluggish flights"
This method yields good living and the
weevil is content. 1t is not curious as to
what is going on in the world at large.
The part of Texas now overrun by the
weevil includes twenty per cent. OF
the cotton acreage IN Cne United oIdles'
The state of Louisiana is considering
the question of preventing invasion by
having a strip of land ten miles in width,
along the Texas boundary, either CON
verted into a barren waste or devoted to
crops that will afford no food for the pest.
The department of agriculture recon-
mends early planting of cotton and thor
ough cultivation as means for restrict
ing loss. No scheme to give permanent
relief has been discovered. An expert
who has travelled over Texas says:
ct is wholly beyond possibility that
the pest is ever to be exteminated. 1t is
constantly spreading and will eventually
be distributed all over the cotton belt
There are no influences that can stop
it short of the limit of its food plant
in this country. 1t seems safe to predict
that in from fifteen to eighteen years the
pest will be a serious drawback to cotton
culture everywhere throughout the South,
as it is in Texas now

with which treasure lake is supposed to
be paved This is the famous sacred lake
of Colombia. and it is formed in the crater
of an extinct South American volcano.
Close by are the celebrated emerald
mines, which brought enormous wealth to
the Spaniards and their predecessors, over
a period of centuries during which they
were worked. The emeralds, which are
deposited at the bottom of the lake, are
said to be worth billions. After storm,
the Indians continue to find the precious
stones. as well as gold, upon the edge of
the waters.
1t is about a hundred years ago since
efforts to drain the treasure lake were
made. but the apparatus used was not
equal to the task The present syndicate
is going to attack the problem in quite a
new manner; the lake is to be reached
from the bottom of the basin by means OF
a tunnel cut in the side Of the mountain.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-01-05

A shaft is to be made to tap the lake,
and screens will arrest the precious stones
dislodged in this manner, while mercury
will catch all the gold. In this way the
secrets of centuries will be disclosed.
The Italian government has granted
permission for the searching of the bed OF
the river Tiber. 1t is well known that
for many hundreds of years the ancient
Romans cast their most precious posses
sions into the TGber as sacrifcial offerings
to the river god. These offerings included
articles of gold and precious stones of all
kinds.
In addition to this way in which the
river was enriched, there have been in.

on it's bridges, not to mention the in

WANT SALOON
men ARRESTED

SEATTLE, Jan. 5--The boycott COM
mittee of the Western Central Labor
Union today applied to Prosecuting At
torney Scott for warrants for the arrest of
seven saloon-keepers for violating the Sun
day closing law, and for the arrest of
seven more for violating the l o'clock
closing law.
The prosecuting attorney refused to is
sue the warrants and the committeeman
viii attempt to secure them from either
the superior court or from one of the
justice courts.
All of the saloons against which charges
have been made are those which use Rain
Ter beer, which as been boycotted as a
result of the Butler hotel strike. They
include the most fashionable resorts in the
city.
