Blessing in Disguise.

The Northwest will probably lose
one half as many prunes as were pro-
duced last year. This reduction in
production should mean a correspond
ing increase in price. If the price is
as good as it ought to be the growers
can very we'll afford the decrease in
production.-No Northwest Farmer.

Incidents on Board BattIeship Missouri
During Disaster.

Pensacola, Fla, April 17.-"Every officer
ana man on the Missouri is hero and
would try the bravery of the best man on
earth.' said an officer of high rank here.
Yesterday. who is thoroughly familiar
with the circumstances of the explosion
and men during the Is minutes that the
fire ragged in the turret and handling
room
Information received yesterday. from
the Missouri throws little additional light
upon the cause of the explosion. all
agreeing that the rapid firing was the pri-
mary cause. but the day brought forth
many incidents of heroism displayed by
officers ard men. Two OF the men now in
the hospital Will receive recognition from
the department for valiant service. These
two men are Scamen McDade and Welles.
Whil" many others of the crew assisted
in saving the ship from total destruction
by explosion of the magazine, the vessel
would undoubtedly have gone to the bot
tom but fO: the act of these men.
They were in magazine d. when the
first explosion occurred and sparks began
dropping from the turrct to their masa
zine. At that time the trough through
which powder is passed was open and
about four charges of powder We're on
the outside. McDadc saw the danger
knowing the powder on the outside
would catch and unless the opening in
the magazine was closed that. too. would
explode. lie reached his arm through the
oncring and attempted to unfastcn the
catch to close the opening. but it refused
to work. lie then placed his body in the
opening until WellcS could empty large
powder can. and when this was done the
can was showed into the opening. partly
closing it. Tho men then filled all cracks
with swab. thus preventing any flames
from penetrating the magazine.
On deck men stood at their posts like
real heroes. BY their side WIS the chap
lain of the Missouri. who would occa-
siondlly encourage the men, saying

Not a man flinchcd. although death
stared every one in the face. one man

THE AMERICAN PRESS.
Present Week Marks 20Oth Anniversary
of Founding.

Boston, April 17.-The present week
is one Of interest to newspaper readers
as marking the 200th anniversary Of
the founding of the American press.
The first newspaper to establish it
self in the colonies was the Boston
NEWSLETTER which issued it's first
number in the week of April 17-24. 1904.
1t consisted of a sheet by 1912 inches,
printed on both sides, two columns to
the page. Its editor WAS John Camp
bell, postmaster of Boston. For II
years the Newsletter was the only
newspaper in the colonies of Great
Britain in America. Philadelphia was
the second American city to establish
a newspaper. III 1919, and New York
third. in 1725.
AT the present time there are more
than 21,000 newspapers in the United
States.
In calling attention to the growth If
American newspapers and of American
cities since 1904. the Boston Globe,
which will issue, tomorrow, a review
of the rise of the American press, calls
attention to the fact that if the present
rate of increase in the population of
the next 200 years. New York Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston and other large
cities in this country would contain
more population than now exists in the
whole eastern hemisphere, including
China.
The Globe has figured out, with the
assistance of the statisticians of the
massachusetts state bureau of StatiS-
tics of labor. that at the same rate of
increase in its population that has pre-
vailed in the past two centuries, Bos-
ton. which in 1904 had a population of
1000. and now has 611.913, would have
200 years hence population of 5i.1?S.-
SSf. The same ratio of increase ap-
plies to all other American cities. and
were it to hold for two centuries more.
New York in 210t would have more in
habltantS than are at present attrib-
uted to the Chinese empire. An Infer
ence is drawn from the figures pre-
sented that at some time in the not
distant future 4 limit must be reached
in the present rate of growth of great
American cities.
