rHE FIST OF THE SEASON
Ripe Berries Being Exhibited on Our
Streets Today-Indicatio Are
Good for Shipping Next Week.

Several ripe strawberries have
been on exhibition in town TODAY,
picked from various patches i'll the
neis hborhood of town and the in
dlcatloas are good for lots of ripe
ones between the first aud fifth of
May. In fact there is no longer
any doubt as to the ability of our
growers to go onto our market with
good berries about that time. Tom
Mccain says he will have the first
short cake of the season ON Sunday
next. and several other gentlemen.
are looking forward to the same
kind and-so forth for their Sunday
dinner. Advices received from
other berry raising districts say
they will not be ready for the mar
ket before the tenth. Places as
close as Strawberry Island are at
least a week later than the Kenne-
wick district. This will insure Our
growers the very highest price Tor
their product, and those who are in
a position to know are talking IS a
crate for all berries that reach the
maIket ahead of other northern
grown berries. The market has
been flooded with the southern
grown article for about month,
and the price has gone down to as
low as ten cents box retail, and
wholesalers have disposed of them
at as low as $3.50 a box. This,
however, does not affect the price
of the Kennewick or Hood River
berries. as last year berries from
these districts sold for 80 cents a
box alongside of California berries
that were going begging at 10
cents. This year we will get the
cream of the strawberry market
and hold it for over a week, and
we will not be surprised if the IS
men realize their predictions.

Heard on All Sides.

Such conversations as these have been
heard all over Washington since The Star
announced that it would establish trade
column in the Sunday paper, commencing
next Sunday morning. 1t has long been
realized that many people have articles OF
value they would like to dispose of, but for
which they feel they might not get full
value by selling them outright For this
purpose The Star has decided to bring its
readers into closer touch, and the trade
column" will meet q long-felt want.
For instance one may have an old piano
that it is felt could not be sold for a large
sum, yet could be traded 10 some person
having some article of equal value they
would like to dispose of. Then an 'ad'' in
The Sunday Star trade column would
bring these two people together to their
mutual advantage
Other things that it is possible to ex-
change, according to the printed notices in
the exchange columns of other papers, are
hand-painted china for a Typewriter Jew
elry for a watch, Office safe for printing
machinery, diamond ring for >anything
credit bills for piano, two trunks for
iron bed. jewelers. tools for steam launch
kodak for a diamond, books for a type
writer, mortgage on coal lands for farm
In fact, it is possible through the trade
column of The Star to offer anything fol
exchange you may have, and state at the
same time what you would prefer to get fol
1t. Even If the person who sees the ad.
vertisement and wants what you have &c
offer does not have what you would like &c
get in exchange that person would write
you and make an offer for the article you
are Offering to get rid Of
Some Exchange" advertisements taken
from an out-of-town paper are given here
to show the possibilities of the column
about to be started by The Star.

The Yield Of Manitoba.

The province of Manitoba has kept care
fully compiled crop reports for more than
twenty years. and the average annual yield
of wheat during that period has been with
in a few pounds of twenty bushels to the
acre That average has been kept up in
western Canada as long as the records have
been kept. Three years ago the average
was twenty-five bushels to the acre. That
was because the land was new and full of
plant nourshment-especially those chemi-
Gals which are required for wheat. In
twenty years Canada has had only one crop
that yielded less than twelve bushels to the
acre. That occurred during the drought Of
1900 Only once since 1896 has the average
wheat yield OF the United States been more
than fifteen bushels to the acre. During

Confessed Embezzlement.

Louis Davis of Rochester. n. Y, who
surrendered to the Chicago police Wednes-
day and confessed that he had embezzled
several hundred dollars from his employers.
Askins & Marine, clothing manufacturers of
Rochester, has been absent from that city
about four months.
There is something strange in the story.
for Samuel Askins, senior member of the
firm, says that he knows of no embezzie-
ment on the part of Davis and Is reluctant
to believe the man guilty. Davis, who is
an old and trusted employee, was supposed
by the firm to be travelling In the south.

well, you see it is this way:
You and /, as well as the proprietors OF

he or she is willing to dispose of and can
not always sell. Well, The Star people have
arranged to start next Sunday morning an
exchange column, wherein the patrons of
The Star and others can advertise such ar

of 1t is they have fixed the advertising

afford to take advantage of it. Just think

The ORIGINAL Telegraph.

Claude Chappe, who drowned him
self in a well on January 3 a hun
dred years ago. vas described in his
time as the inventor of the tele-
graph" says the London Telegraph. 1t
was not the electric telegraph that
we know, of course. but q very prim-
tive wireless contrivance. a sema-
phore. in fact. consisting of an up
right post, a transverse bar on the
top and two arms working on pivots
at the ends of this bar. BY means
of a code and the placing of a series
of these posts so that each could be
seer from the next, messages were
carried over fifty leagues in a guar
ter of an hour. The French legislative
assembly adopted the system; but in
situations that Chappe had stolen ii
from Others preyed upon his mind and
drove him to suicide.

Benny on the Boa Constructor.

The boa constructor is a large snake
with scales on its outside and a stom-
ach sixteen feet long. 1t lives in
warm countries, where there Is a
great deal of rain and jungles, and
has a tongue that looks like a streak
OF lightning flashing athwart the pale
horizon. When you see a boa o n
strictor in a rage you think how much
better it would feel If it could go out
and stretch itself. but, alas, it cannot.
When my Uncle Hiram was kind of
sick once he said he saw a red boa
constructor with horns on its head,
but no one else in the apartment
could see it. The boa constructor
can be trained so il will let a lady
