FEDERAL CONTROL

Should Supervise
Insurance.

SEATTLE. Aug. 2s.-Thomas F. Ryan,
the financier of New York City, who
recently acquired the control of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of New
York, In an interview here to-day said
This is my eighth visit to the Pacific
coast. / am astounded at the progress
of the country since my last visit, in 1901,
and the evidence OF prosperity to be
seen on all sides.
'.The Federal Government should have
practically the same supervision of life
Insurance companies as 1t has over ma
tionaI banks The officers and managers
Of these companies have in their keeping
a trust of the most sacred character and
they should not object to the strictest
supervision of their conduct. 1 am quite
sure that President Roosevelt has given
this question much thought, and hope
he will express his opinions to Congress

PRESBYTERIAN
ASKS BLESSING
OF A CARDINAL
Prayer Said Over Gift
to Sunday-School
Pupil.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST PUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-By seeking
and obtaining the blessing of Cardinal
Gibbons upon a cross to be presented to
Miss Marie Smith, bright pupil of the
Sunday school of the Washington
Heights Presbyterian Church, the Rev.
E. Lawrence Hunt, pastor of that
church, startled some OF his congrega-
tion yesterday, particularly the elders. 1t
was Mr. Hunts farewell service as his
resignation will take effect on Septeffi-
Der l. At the conclusion of his sermon he
approached Miss Smith and said:
Il saw Cardinal Gibbons last week and
his Eminence graciously promised that IL
l would send him the cross he would
bless It, / did so. This will have an
added sacredness and value to you as a
faithful child of the church, because 1t
has a Cardinals blessing. In my judg-
blessing means much to you personally.
From my point of view 1t means that a
great. good man is interested in you, and
he prayed for you.
but Cardinal Gibbons blessing of this
cross has a wider significance. It is of
interest, to all. The church of God Is the
hope OF the world. That Cardinal OF the
Roman Catholic church should bless
cross given by minister Of the Presby-
terian church Of Washington to a child as
a reward for learning the Gospel of st.
John out Of Bible given by Presbyte-
rian board will do untold good to the
Roman Catholic church"

amazed thousands OF New Workers last

would not be safe for two to try the

in Mr.. Roosevelt's being able to sail 1t

Knabenshue will soon go West,
where he has many engagements. His
theory of the attractive force Of the
earth has brought him an avalanche OF
letters from scientists. 1t is Knaben-

PORTSMOUTH, Aug The revela-
tion contained in the Associated Press
exclusive announcement to-day that the
President had already informed Emperor
Nicholas, through ambassador Meyer,
that Japan was ready to waive the ques-
tion OF indemnity and submit the price to
be paid for the northern half Of Saghalien
to the Judgment of a mixed commission
upon the main issue The announcement
has been the sensation of the day
Mr.. de Witte. by consummate skill in
conceding all the demands of Japan In
volvtng the real issues OF the war. had
Unanswered his adversaries into a posi-
ton, where, unless they abandoned the
claim for indemnity. they could be held
responsible for continuing the war for
money.
The Japanese, by now foregoing the de-
mand for indemnity, practically shift the
burden back to Russfa,B shoulders II she
does not consent to submit minor issue
to the impartial judgment OF tribunal.
Mr.. de Witte publicly dissents vigorously
from the proposition, and there will still
be q struggle with Peterhof, but II Japan
tomorrow agrees to formally renounce
all claims for direct or indirect compen-
sation for the expenses Of the war the big
stumbling block to peace Is out of the
way
DEPENDS UPON THE WORDING.
Everything will depend upon the form
In which the proposal is submitted.
Should the remuneration be so coupled
with the other proposition that Russia
could claim it was still only disguised
demand for tribute, the gulf might once
more be narrowed. not bridged-
All the private advices that reach
the Russian mission from st. Peters,
burg indicate that the military party
is insistent that Linevitch be given a
chance and that negotiations be brok-
en- off, Mr.. de Wftte feels the pressure
of this sentiment, and, as a man of
ambition, he may not feel that he can
afford to lay himself open to the charge
that he is temporizing with the situa-
tion. He has power, under his instruc-
tions. to reject out OF hand any propo-
sition involving the payment of trib-
ute. He need not consult his imperial
master. He Is man OF inspiration.
and he is quite capable, IL the Japanese
proposition savors still of blood
money to refuse even 30 accept for
transmission to st. Petersburg.
But such stroke is not expected.
Mr.. de Witte knows that public opinion.
both in America and In Europe. as well
as in Russia. would condemn him If he
broke of the negotiations just as the
way was opened for possible accord.
While apparently the real negotiations
leading up to to-day's denouement
were conducted by the President at
Oyster Bay. acting through Baron Ka-

judging from the official expressions
persistently given out by the Foreign
Office since the beginning OF the nego-
tiations at Portsmouth. that this prop
osition by Japan to waive the question
OF indemnity goes far toward remov-
ing the last and. according to Official
explanations. the only stumbling block
in the way OF peace.
The Foreign ONCE has said that
every disputed point between Russia
and Japan, with the exception Of pay
ment of indemnity, had practically been
arranged on a basis satisfactory to
both sides. but that Russia would never
pay an indemnity. II the latest pro-
posals of Japan mean that she valves
all claims to indemnity of any kind or
description, giving up all idea OF re-
endorsement for the expenses OF ths
war in any guise whatever, and in
place thereof is prepared to accept for
the restoration TO Russia OF the north
ern half OF Saghalien a redemption
price to be fixed by an unbiased com
mission. this price TO be determined
upon the actual value of the island and
not to take into account Iapan's war
expenses or to carry concealed in
demnity to Japan. there Is reason for
the assertion that in all probability
Japan's proposal was never understood
here IN this way and for the deduction.

The Oregonian has made compila-
tion Of the 1904 wheat crop from dis
tributive sources, and finds that the
crop for Oregon, Washington and
Idaho reached grand total of A, ,095,
800, or about 5000, 900 bushels less
than the government figures for the
three states. The actual dimensions
of the crop, exclusive Of any padding,
we're sufficiently gratifying to please
the most captious, for only once In
the history Of the trade have they
been exceeded, and in that record
year Of 1901 the carry over from the
preceding year was so much smaller
than that which was available with
the 1904 crop that the shipments for
the season which closed June 30 we're
not very far behind those from the
1901 crop. Exclusive of the sales
made for home consumption, the
farmers OF the three states sold more
than 35, 900, 600 bushels, from which
the net returns were more than 525, =
100000. On account of the much
higher price prevailing throughout
the season, this is much greater sum
than was realized from the 1000, 600
bushels marketed from the crop Of
1901,

APPLES ARE
VERY LARGE:

Notwithstanding the dry summer
reported in many parts of the state,
Hood River orchards say that ap-
present time. A. |. Mason informs
the Glacier that there are now New
town apples in his orchard which
would go 80 to the box.
Mr.. Mason uses no irrigation water,
neither does Mr.. Silliman, who reports
that his apples are also large and
prospects for crop Of fine large APP
pies we're never botter. While the
apple crop for Hood River is light
this summer, possibly not over 40 per
cent Of crop, the quality will lie ex-
ira fine.
Reports from the East indicate a
scarcity Of apples in both America and
Europe, which leads the Hood River
growers to believe they will get even
better prices this year for their fruit
than last year. Mr.. Vanderbilt on the
Bulah land place, says he has infor-
nation from the East, which says the
NewtOwn crop is very light there. He
expects to see this variety sell this
year for over 81.
The management of the Hood River
Apple Growers union has been over
the valley and secured an estimate
on the number of boxes which the
growers expect to ship through this
association. While the union has
made nothing public concerning the
size of the crop, the members state
that prospects are very fiatering for
good prices. Several Eastern buyers
have been in the valley looking at the
crop. 1t Is expected that bids on the
fancy fruit will be opened in few
davs.

In the middle ages, when steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used, method of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors Of
glass were made in Germany before
the sixteenth century and were in de
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes, into which
while they were hot was passed through
a pipe n mixture Of tin, antlmony and
rosin. When the globe was coated
inside it was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but well defined images.

Are Pleased with Professor Barnes.

Mr.. and Mrs. T.. b. Barnes of Fran
ces, Wash, are in Hood River, the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Onthank.
Mr.. Barnes was principal of the
Frances public school last winter.
At the beginning of the new year the
board of directors without solicitation
gave Professor Barnes an increase in
salary, and he has been employed for
another year with another increase In
pay.
Mr.. Barnes is we'll known in Hood
River, whore he taught school for a
number of years. During his vaca-
tion he spent two months at work in
sash and door factory at Seaside.
He will return next week to Frances,
where the school reopens September
|, and where Mrs. Barnes has been
appointed deputy postmaster, to take
charge Of the office during the absence
Of the postmaster in the East.
The South Bend Pilot, speaking of
the commencement exercises of the
Frances school, said:
1t was very pleasant and sue
cessful occasion and very creditable
to Principal Fred b. Barnes and AS
sistant Principal Miss Clara Murdoch,
and no loss creditably to these two
educators is the fact that the entire
class successfully passed the severe
examination and we're graduated. "

The average educated man gets n
salary Of $1,000 a year. He works for
ty years, making total of $4,000 in
Il lifetime. The average day laborer
gets $150 a day 300 days in a year,
or $3.50 in year. In forty years he
earns $4,000 The difference, or So,
600, equals the value Of an education.
To acquire this earning capacity re-
quires twelve years at school of $50
days each, or 2,160 days Divide 500, %
600 by 2,l6O. and 1t is found that each
day at school is worth a little more
than $40 TO the pupil.
