port than to carry them by rail to
Seattle and thence by merchant steam
ers. He says this is a real economy
for the government. Coal costs twice
as much in San Francisco, but pre-
sumably the general has taken that
into account. 1t costs money to run a
big ship over the S00-mile trip from
San Francisco to Puget sound, but
probably the general has also reck-
oned with that.
The transport Crook will not only
carry the troops destined for Alaska
twelve companies of them-but it will
bring back the large body of troops
which are about to be relieved from
service in the North. The comfort of
the men is also supposed to have been
taken into account by the quarter
master general. So the men are to be
carried over the longer rail route from
the Department of the Lakes to San
Francisco, instead of over the short
Northern route to Seattle; and they
are to be subjected to the longer sea
voyage from California northward.
Think Something Is Wrong.
The persons who have protested to
the war department against this trans
portation by the longer route are sat-
in Denmark" and they would like to
know what it is. The arguments put
up by the quartermaster generals
office-namely, those of economy and
comfort-are certainly specious. If the
department was satisfied that it was
right on these two important points
why were commercial lines on Puget
sound Invited to bid for this transport
alton of troops to Alaska, and why,
when the bids were opened, did the
quartermaster general declare that the
lowest bid was satisfactory and proceed
to award a contract? At that time
there was no question of economy
and there was no undue solicitude for
the comfort of the enlisted men of the
army.
There are strange things in the
quartermaster generals office. When
the Alaska transportation bids were
opened two months ago it was pro-
posed to award the contract for carry
ing all of the Fort Egbert troops, on
the upper Yukon, over the White Pass
railroad. which operates British steam
ers between White Horse and Dawson.

The first English walnut orchard in

of walnuts has steadily increased

the enterprise deservedly popular.
Already it is superseding the orange

The walnut tree begins to bear
when or years old. and nothing is
known definitely Of its age limit OF
bearing. Fabulous stories are told OF
trees in Spain one or two centuries
old, bearing enormous crops. The
oldest trees in California are still
bearing, but deductions from the short
history already made show that the
tree is in it's prime from it's 25th to its
30th year. Fifteen hundred pounds or
nuts to the acre is a good average
yield, making rs pounds the average
weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the
middle Of September and lasts nearly

with the leaves. and the perfect cult
