A remarkable connection between the
autumn rainfall and the wheat yield
has been noted by the British meteoro-
logical council. with certain excep-
tions," says recent report by the sec
retary, every inch Of autumn rainfall
involves a diminution Of the yield OF
wheat for the following year by q
bushel and a quarter per acre" Au-
tumn is that period from the thirty
sixth to the forty eighth week Of the
year, approximately the months Of
September, October and November.
The report under consideration covers
the principal wheat producing dis
tricts" of the United Kingdom. The
autumn of 1904 was unusually dry in
those districts, and the farmer will
have chance to verify the conclusions
Of the council the coming season.

A New Era in Trans-Paeific Trans
pOrtaaiOn.

The Great Northern Steamship Com
pany in placing in service between
Seattle, Wash, and Yokohama, Nag
asaki, Kobe, Shanghai, and Hong Kong,
the magnificent built steamships the
Minnesota" and the Dakota, make
a new era in transportation facilities
between the United States and the
Orient. These magnificent steamships
with their superior facilities in handl-
ing immense freight cargoes and the
luxurious appointments for passenger
travel has given an impetus to our Or
iental trade The North Pacific route
to the Orient is rapidly becoming the
popular one and now tnat the two pa
latial steamships, Minnesota" and
''Dakota" have been put in commission
there is no question but that further
greater increase in our trade with the
Orient as we'll as incr> ed passenger
travel to Asiatic ports will be inaugu-
rated. The first sailing of the "MiD-
nesota," in addition to carrying the
largest cargo to the Orient ever carried
by any ship in the world, as well as an
extensive passenger list, argues well
for the future.
The Minnesota will sail on its next
voyage to the Orient on Saturday,
April Goth, and it will not be amiss to
say here that the excellence of her pas
senger accommodations will be heralded
to the travelling public of the United
States by all who enjoyed the pleasant
voyage across the Pacific ON her first
trip, as furnishing the acme OF travel
comfort. The fact that the superior
accommodations OF the Great Northern
Steamship Company in connection with
the comfortable journey afforded by the
Great Northern Railway to Seattle, the
sailing point OF the Minnesota will
make this route the popular one from
Oecident 10 Orient.

The whole worlds production of cof-
fee last year amounted to over 2,0OO,-
100000 pounds, nearly one-half Of
which was consumed by the United
States. Other peoples. notably the
Germans and French, have always
been considered the most confirmed
coffee drinkers; but, although they in
dulge two and three times day. the
quantity drunk is small In comparison
with what Americans drink, who make
1t their principal beverage at dinner
as well as at breakfast. The art Of
making coffee has improved in this
country with the adoption of foreign
methods.

Costs to open wrong Letters.


The authorities at Washington have
fixed penalty Of $500 fine on any per-
son taking out OF the postoffice, mail
other than their own. All postmasters
are liable to make mistakes and get
the mail in the wrong boxes, and the
law says people must examine their
mail before leaving the office, and
should they receive mail which is not
addressed to them, it must be returned
at once. That it is the fault OF the
postmaster makes no difference. The
law includes newspapers as well as
first class mail.
There is class of curious people
everywhere, and they are as a rule,
contemptibly curious about letters and
other mail matter which they chance
to get hold of. They will open all
letters coming into their possession,
and often when knowing full we'll they
don't belong to them. They will, after
reading the letter, write on the envel-
ope, ''opened by mistake" and without
signing their name drop it back into
the postoffice box at night or during a
time when not observed. This class of
curious individuals is warned to be
careful iu the future. If they open
hereafter mail which does not belong
to them they must sign their name and
state why they opened the same,
whether by accident or design. The
Postmasters Advocate.

Is An Opening for the
Right Man.

If any of our readers know ola friend
who will fit any of the following places
let him know about Leavenworth.
A STEAM LAUNDRY.
There is no reason why some one who
understands the steam laundry business
could not do well here. There are now
over two hundred working men here,
many of them, perhaps one-half. are
single and in the railroad employe, it
will only be matter OF few weeks
when the big mill will be running,
when another two hundred men will be
added to the wage earners. Every
week some half dozen large laundry
baskets are sent off to Spokane and
Wenatchee laundries. II you are a
laundry man and looking for location
or you are not satisfied with your pres
ent location come and see for yourself.
FURNITURE STORE.
1t is our firm belief that if someone
would come here and put in good line
of furniture that they would do well.
Unless we are mistaken there will be a
very considerable increase in the popu-
lation of this town the coming summer
and large demand for furniture.
A DENTIST.

ulation of one thousand, with a faiI
prospect that it will be considerably
added to in the near future, and not &

NOT READY FOR PEACE,

The impression has prevailed that
Russia, In all probability would be pre-
pared at this time, to listen TO over
lures for peace, The Emperor OF Ger
many-so recent dispatches have stated
has actually exchanged views with
King Edward on the advsability OF
offering mediation, And, as far as the
general public can see, the best In

pecIally Of its government, would re-

The government may be able to sup
press the riots and fetter for an in
stant the roaring waves Of discomfort,
hut 1t cannot, by brute force, control
the mighty forces that cause the COM
motion, A number OF more or less
secret organizations are now co-operat-
ing toward one goal Among these are
the Liberal party; the Polish National
league, the Polish S)cialistio party
the Armenian Revolutionary Federal
lists, and the Finnish Party OF Active
Resistance. All these bodies, and
others, at a conference held not long
ago In Paris, signed a document de-
clariug, In part That the present mo-
ment seems especially favorable for
the Joint action OF all these parties
against the autocratic government, dis
credited and weakened by the terrible
consequences OF a war provoked by its
adventurous polltics,'
At the head OF the Liberal
party stands one Peter Strive, who Is
the editor Of a prescribed Russian
paper This journal, It Is said, has a
great reading public IN Russia, Strive
nus connections in the highest circles
and often gets hold Of copies OF docu-
ments that are considered state secrets.
Strives paper never asks for
material help as do the other
illegal papers and magazines;
they are well supplied with funds
by persons well known In Russia,
The party Is very strong, Its program
is agitation among the working classes,
and mujiks, ON large scale the dis
semnatlon Of dissatisfaction with the
government among the people the dis
uibution OF seditous literature and the
defense Of themselves against the

THE DIVORCE QUESTION.

The question whether n Catholic INV
yer can with n safe conscience take
part, in his professional capacity, in
divorce cases, and whether Catholic
Judge can conscientIously administer
law contrary TO the teachings OF the
Catholic church was recently put to
Canon Moyes, "theologian TO the Cath
ole archbishop Of Westminster Lon
don" According 10 the Boston Trans
cript, the reply to this interesting ques-
tion was IN the main, negative. Canon
Moyes, II appears, answered by saying
that there are authentic decisions In
which such action on the part Of lawyer
and judge IL forbidden implicitly or
indirectly lie said there are many
pronouncements by the Apostolic See,
declaring that Christian marriage Is n
sacrament, and that the bond once
validity contracted becomes indissolu-
Bile, and that the civil power Is there
fore incompetent to dissolve It. Any
affirmation that tho bond Of marriage
is dissolved or any authorization that
the parties may marry again Ia, II re-
ferring TO the bond itself or to remar-
nage itself, therefore sinful and Inn
moral. 1t follows from the ordinary
principles Of Catholic teaching that no
Catholic, whether Judge or lawyer, can
help In procuring or effecting a divorce
thus understood. lie also pointed out,
however, that there are special clrcum-
stances In which participation IN the
work OF the divorce court need not
imply cooperation In the evil OF divorce
in the sense described.

INTELLIGENT JURORS READ.


NcnInond l1nles- Dispatch,
In this day Of many newspapers the
particulars Of murder are always
published, and every Intelligent man
READS the news OF the day. When he
reads he must OF necessity form some
sort OF an opinion whether or not the
person accused Is guilty, and TO dis
QUALIFY him for Jury service on that
ground would be to dlsqualfy every
newspaper reader II that rule should
be enforced II would be practically i'm
possible to obtain Jury in any COM
munity TO try man accused OF muir
der II a man should say on oath that
his opinion was 80 firmly fixed that Il

OF course he would not be NJ person

the court that, while he had formed an
opinion, he was able TO give the accused
a fair trial and TO render a verdict In
accordance with the evidence, It would
be sheer nonsense to say that he was
not a competent Juror.
