DANCER OF DUST IN Mines
Peril is Pointed Out on a Paper by
Noted Engineer.

At recent meeting Of mining en-.
rineers held in Leeds. ". II. Picker.
ing, British mining inspector, read a
paper on THE Dust Danger The i'm.
portance Of dust as factor in collery
explosions was, he said now generally
RECOGNIZED and understood. Proyis.
ions had been introduced in the coal
mine regulation act regulating the use
of explosives in dry and dusty places
and the Observation-Disclosures" Or
der had been issued by the home sec.
rotary.
In few mines dust was systemati-
calIv laid by watering, but no wide.
spread effort had been made to strike
at the root of the danger. Permitted
explosives were only relatively safe,
for each one Of them was capable Of
initiating an explosion under certain
conditions. and it could not be too
often repeated and emphasized that a
dust explosion could be started in
other ways than by an explosive.
Ignition of fire damp might result from
a naked lamp or from damaged or
defective lump or from a spark from
a nick or an electric spark, and this
might be magnified by dust into a
Great explosion. Dust also increased
the danger of underground fires.
Obviously, the only way OF remedy
ING the danger was to keep the mines
free from coal dust by cutting on the
supply or by other means. AS long as
dusty roads were allowed in the mines
the coal industry as under the dark
shadow of coming great disaster.
The looming danger was recognized
bv all and he submitted that this Pc
Rod of peace and immunity was the
time to take practical steps 10 avoid
the danger. He believed discussion
wonld show that it was reasonably
practicable to keep moist mines COM
naratively free from dust that was
dangerous and this freedom would
conduce to safety and to health and
comfort as well.

ETHAN ALLEN TOWER.
Mem orial to the Green Mountain hoy to
he Dedicated on wednesday.

BURLINGTON, Vt; Aug. 1.-THE sons OF
the American Revolution will dedicate on
Aug. 10 the tower erected on Indian Rock
In memory of Ethan Allen, the Green Noun
tain boy Of the Revolution.
vce-President Fairbanks will be the
principal speaker, while Secretary Hitch
cock and Secretary Wilson have both ex-
pressed their intention to be present. The
historical address will be given by Robert
d. Benedict Of Brookline.
The erection of the tower has been under
consideration by the Sons OF the American
Revolution for a long time, but 1t was not
until W. j. Van Patten Of this city, proprie-
tor of the farm owned by Ethan Allen, ex-
pressed willingness to donate the ground
that the matter was settled.
Aug. 10 was chosen as the dedication day
because it is the anniversary OF the battle
Of Bennington. The days celebration will
begin in the morning with parade, in which
the Fifteenth United States Cavalry, the
Fifth United States Infantry, the Twenty
third and Twenty-seventh batteries OF field
artillery and the Vermont National Guard
will take part. The dedication exercises
will occur at the Ethan Allen farm, about
three miles from the city, after which the

officials. 40.
The tower itself Is patterned after the
towers Of old feudal castles. 1t Is 40 feet
high, "a feet square at the base and 20 feet
at the narrow part. 1t Is built OF q red col
ored stone called Malletts Bay MARBLE which

death in 1880. The farm then BECAME the
property Of Gov. Van Ness, and after PASS,
ing through various hands was purchased
by Mr.. Van Pstten. He has set " aside
admitted. Eventually IL Is proposed to

Eastern Apple Crop Prospects.

The Chicago Packer finds that the
apple crop in Missouri will be heavy
in some sections and light in others.
The same condition prevails in Hi
nois and Iowa. Frosts did some dam
age in many places, but as whole the
crop average prospects are good.
A dispatch from Grand Junction,
Colo, says:
J. f. Moore, manager Of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association,
sizes up the fruit outlook: "The
peach crop will be very light. My
opinion is there will be not to exceed
$50 cars for the entire western slope,
as aginst probably 1000 cars last sea-
son. Both the pear and apple crops
are in first class condition. In fact,
there could not be better prospect
than we now have in the entire terri
tory.

ten to twenty per cent increase over
last season. This on account of new

MONEY IN CHERRIES
AT Sc PER POUND

"There is big money in cherries at
&c pound" says A. c. Butcher of
California, who is in the valley con-
tracting for all the cherries he can
secure at this figure. ga yield of 100
pounds to the tree, for 100 trees to the
arce is 10 900 pounds. Allowing one
cent a pound for picking, here is a net
income of S400 to the acre. "
Mr.. Butcher is packing the cherries
himself, paying &c for the fruit as it
comes from the trees. In California
4 and &c is the prevailing price for
cherries. Sometimes the price goes to
6 cents. There japanese do most Of
the picking, and women and girls the
packing.
Italians are going extensively into
the cherry business in California, says
Mr.. Butcher. The Italians will gam

Lewiston Cherries in the Market.

Special to the Glacier,
Spokane, Wash, June To-day s
market report in the Spokesman Re-
view says;
The great quantity Of Snake river
cherries received daily has practically
crowded California cherries out of the
Spokane market. While the cherry
crop will not be so large this year as
formerly, owing to the late frosts, the
quality of the fruit is said never to
have been better, and the demand is
strong.
A car of Hood River strawberries
was received yesterday by one dealer,
but most of the commission men re-
ported shortage of the fruit, owing
to the rains, which seriously interfered
with picking and which seems to have
been general all over the northwest.
A carload of Walla Walla cabbage
and a car of new onions we're received
yesterday.
Currants, it is reported, are ripe in
the Yakima and the Walla Walla val
leys, and the fruit is expected to make
its appearance on the Spokane market
during the early part of this week.
They will come in q quart cases and
will sell for 81 80 crate. Raspber-
ries, also, are expect before many
dayS.
