The rate charged on freight from st.
Louis to Benton at that time was 10
cents a pound or $500 ton. The
Roanoke carried 800 tons. which at
that rate would mean freight bill Of
100000. Yet the owners Of the boat
made little or no money, so great was
the expense of the trip. Because Of
low water the steamer was compelled
to land ninety miles below Fort Ben
ton, discharge her cargo and send it
up by wagons overland. Duvall and
Bixby brought the Roanoke safely
back to St. Louis In the fall Of '65, but
they never again went up the Missouri
to the head Of her navigable waters
the risk and worry were too great
Capt. Bixby is yet a pilot, hale and
hearty at the age of 70, and Is now

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
Definite Line of Orchard Treatment
to BE Established.

Definite Line of Orchard Treatment
to BE Established.
Tacoma, Jan Estate Horticul-
turist A. Van Holderbeke, who return
ed day or two ago from Portland, de-
clares that the convention of fruit
growers Of the Northwest, held there
last week, was the most important
and successful fruit convention ever
held in this section of the country
Mr.. Van Holderbeke believes the most
important thing accomplished by the
convention was the establishing of a
definite line Of orchard treatment for
the eradication of the Goblin moth.
This insect pest does damage annually
to the fruit of the Northwest to a
rgeater amount than any other kind of
scourge with which orchardists have
to contend. Treatment that proved
effective one year was a total failure
the next, while in no two districts, ap-
parently, could the same measures for
the determination of the pest be en-
ployed. This futility of effort has
done much to discourage orchardists,
and wOrmy apples have not been I'M
common in many of the orchards of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Brit
ish Columbia.
Mr.. Van Holderbeke says it is also
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
treatment for it's eradication must be
usited to the district in which it is
found, and to the climatic condition.
Another important finding is that
spraying must be done at exactly the
right time or it is useless. If it is de-
layed until after the egg is Matched
out and the worm has entered the ap-
pie it can defy the combined assaults
of Paris green and arsenic and lead
mixtures.
The barometer the Orchardist is
urged to use to indicate when to act
againsts the pest is the worm of the
moth itself. As soon as one of these
is found on tree it is to be placed in
a glass jar, which is set at the foot of
the tree. When the worm transmutes
itself into moth it is indicative of
the fact that the Onth er worms of the
orchard have already done so or are
in readiness to do the same thing.
Then by careful watching the fruit
grower can tell about the time eggs
by tn millions will be laid by the
moths. If spraying is done then it
never fails, it is declared, to eradicate
the moth from the orchard for that
season.

HE HAD NO NOTICE
CAPTAIN OF CLALLAM NOT AWARE
OF VESSELS CONDITION.
Testimony Tends to Show That En-
ginecr Neglected to Make Re.
Filled With Water--POints De-
velOped at Beginning of Inquiry.

Seattle, Jan. 19.-Had Chief Engin-
Ger Scott De Launey exercised reasona-
BILE discretion and promptly reported
the condition of the Clallam to Cap
tain Roberts, her commander, the lat
ter might have saved the fifty four
lives lost in the terrible disaster of
January 8. So much appears certain
from the testimony adduced during the
investigation begun yesterday before
United States Marine Inspectors Whit
ney and Turner The testimony I'M
mistakably points to the conclusion
that, according to we'll established
marine regulations De Launay should
have made a report of the cnidtion oof
the ship, especially down in the en-
CINE room fully an hour earlier than
he did.
A timely report would have given
Captain Roberts an opportunity to run
the Clallam on the sandy beaches
about Dungeness long before the life
boats were lowered thus giving every
one on board the vessel an opportunity
to get off in safety, and perhaps save
the vessel as we'll.
Five witnesses testified. They were
Capt. Roberts, Chief Engineer De Lau-
nay, j. w. Doney, first officer and pi-
lot; l.. Meyers, quartermaster, and
William Cox former first assistant en-
gineer of the Clallam, and who super
intended the installing of her pumps
and other machinery.
Following are the principal foacts dis
closed during the first days session.
First-That Chief Engineer De Lau-
nay aHllowed the water to attain IA
depth Of between three and four feet
in the hold of the vessel before he no.
titled Captain Roberts.
Second-A strong intimation, in
effect, on the part of the marine in
spectors that De Launay should have
reported the matter to Captain Roberts
at least an hour before he did
: Third-That by doing so it would
have given Captain Roberts an oppor-
tunity to run the steamer up on the
Dungeness shoals, saving many lives
and perhaps the vessel as we'll
Fourth-That the Clallam had a
powerful pump equipment, the COM
bined capacity of which exceeded 400
tons of water an hour; that Chief De
Launay was unable to tell the capa-
city of his pumps; that they were al
lowed to choke and were soon rendered
of no service.
Fifth-That the Clallam took four
or five feet of water in about half an
hour and that it was nine or ten hours
later before she foundered

BUFFALO BLOCKED A RIVER,
Herds Crossing the Missouri topped
stea IN b rat in 1868.


Capt. William II. Duvall once a pilot
on the Mississippi aud Missouri Riv-
ers, has been visiting relatives In War
rensburg, Mo-. says the Kansas City
Star, for some time. For many years
lie lived In st. Louis. Since his retire
ment from business he is often seen in
Warrensburg. and Is always noticeable
for his scrupulously correct attire; his
habit of good dressing. learned in the
old days when river pilots drew large
salaries and We're the dandies of the
country, has never deserted him.
Capt Duvall was pilot on the larg-
est steamboat used as government
transport to carry Grants army to
Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee
River before the battle Of Shiloh In
1862. He saw Grants boat come up
he river Sunday morning. April 6; saw
him land, mount his horse and ride
away to the battlefield from which he
did not return until the following
Wednesday.
Three years later in the summer OF
1868, Capt. Duvall and Capt. Horace
Bixby took the steamboat Roanoke up
the Missouri River from St Louis to
Fort Benton n distance of 1900 miles
The discovery Of gold had been made
in Montana a year or two before, and
the first boat from st. Louis reached
Benton in 1864. The trip was haz-
arlOus one at all times, but partcu-
larly so In 1865. as the Sioux Indians
were on the warpath. and 1000 miles
of the run had to be made through a
hostile country.
On her way up the Roanoke reached
the buffalo country about June 1, and
for 700 miles the buffalo were con-
stantly in sight. The animals were just
coming from the south and were cross
Ing the Missouri by millions. In places,
Capt. Duvall says he could see a plain
five or six miles square black with
them. The thought never crossed his
mind that they could be exterminated
In q few years. Sometimes there
would be such a mass Of the animals

Rubber Extracted by Machinery for

Denver, Colo, Jan. l9.-The first
rubber to be extracted mechanically
withuot the use of chemicals from the
newly discovered Colorado rubber
plant, was taken out Saturday at a
local machine shop The rubber pro-
duced is said to be as good as the best
Para. Previously rubber taken from
the plant has been leeched out, ben
zine being allowed to pervcolate
through the fiber and carry with it the
rubber. The objection to this method
is that it carries with it coloring mat
ter that impairs the value of the rub
Der. By the new process large guam
tity of rubber can be extracted from
the plant at cost of less than 10
cents pound.

Squadron's Remarkable Run.
fgv the Associated Press


Washington, March 16.-The Navy De-
partment has published report from
Admiral Evans in which he invites atten-
ton TO the record made on the recent
trip of the batteship and cruiser squad
rons from Yokohama to Honolulu ana
thence to Cavite. covering distance
of practically $500 miles IN md winter.
The Admiral says:
During the run from Yokohama to
Honolulu the seas were the worst | have
ever experienced and continued practical
" throughout the entire run. The wealth
err conditions from Honolulu to Cavite
were better. and. on the whole. the trip
was an easy and comfortable one. Dur
ing this run of practically $500 from Yoko-
hama to Cavite, no repairs or overhaul
ing were done upon the engines OF any of
the vessels by any outside force and only
such was done by the force on board
each vessel as could be taken in hand
during the short time Of the stay of the
vessels at Honolulu when occupied
in coaling. The speed maintained by the
battleship squadron from Yokohama to
Honolulu was 1917 knots. The battleshlp
squadron arrived in Cavite, after this run
of $500 miles, in as good condition as
when it started out from Yokohama and
was ready for any service that it might
be called upon to perform. The same
could be said of the cruiser squadron,
with the exception of the Cincinnati,
which needed new air pump rod
