NO WAR Is LIKELY.
Delegates Of Norway and Sweden Are
About to Reach Agreement.

= Karlstad, Sept. 1S.-The first Off
cial communication indicating that the
delegates Of Norway and Sweden were
approaching an understanding in their
effort to establish a modus vivendi for
the countries as separate governments
was given out tonight at the close OF
the joint session of the delegates. The
announcement reads:
The probabilities are that in the
near future negotiations can be
brought to a definite result"
This somewhat cryptic announce
ment is accepted as indicating that the
negotiations have reached stage
where an agreement is in sight, and
a resort to arms, which might have
involved either power, may safely be
considered to be out of the question.

coal miners strike is now believed to
be in sight.
Reports from the Occur d'Alenes in
dictate that the Chesapeake & Tama-
rack mine is working in body of es-
pecially rich ore.
Announcement is made that the
American Shelters Securities COM
pany has purchased a controlling in
terest in the Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing company, through the acquisition
of approximately 100000 of the out
standing common stock. AS the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
controls the American Shelters Secu-
rites company, the former company
is the real owner of the Federal. The
American Shelters Securities COM
pany has also acquired nearly all the
capital stock of the Dairy Farm mine
of California, valuable copper prop
ties company will receive from it's
Federal mining investment about
100000 annually, but under the sys-
tenn of smelter improvement and ex'
tension planned the income will soon
greatly exceed this, while it will virtu-
ally control the smelling business.
The Federal Mining & Smelling
company was organized by Charles
Sweeny, with an issued capital Of
$40 100000 common and 100000 pre-
ferred stock. 1t was a combination of

Discovery of a gold bearing ledge is
reported from the Bald Mountain dis
trict of eastern Oregon. That it assays
$4,000 to the ton is the smallest esti-
mate. while some are of the opinion
that $4,000 is not too high. The new
find is an extension of the group in
which such a rich strike was made a
few days ago by Messrs. Besslers and
Dunno, and known as the Gold Nugget
group.
Production of the mines of Boun-

Cool Fruit When Shipped.

Fruit should not be picked on
warm day and put Immediately into
cold storage or into cars for shipment.
1t should be put into some place where
1t will have a chance to cool of and
permit the latent heat to work out.
Putting fruit into close cars where no
refrigeration is provided is a fruitful
source of trouble in the shipping of
fruit The heat in the fruit causes
rapid spelling, especially with fruit
that is of short keeping quality, like
some Of the apples that ripen in the
summer. If the nights are cool, fruit
can be cooled of by simply leaving it
over night exposed to the air, but not
to the dew. In other cases cellars are
found deep enough to have a tempera-
ture Of under 60 degrees. These can
be used In such cases. In some parts
Of the territory over which this paper
circulates storage pits have been dug
into the side hills and these may be
used as storage places.

Baskets holding one bushel or more
are used to considerable extent on all
farms where there is much in the way
of heavy vegetables or grains to han

made the handles easily pull out with
the weight of the contents and then
one is obliged to handle the basket in
any way possible unless some plan is
arranged for inserting handles. The

Cultivation of Corn.

Cultivation of Corn.
In considering this operation in corn
raising, it should be borne in mind that
the object of cultivation is to keep the
soil In the most desirable physical con-
dition by controlling, as far as possible,
the amount of moisture and air in it
and to destroy the weeds that hinder
the growth of the corn in various ways.
The yields Of this crop depend much
upon the skillfulness and thoroughness
with which this operation is per-
formed.
The best method to follow in lie
cultivation of a corn crop will de-
pend upon the character of the soil;
the way in which the seed bed has
been prepared; the weather conditions
during the season; the number and
kinds of weeds the soil is infested
with, and the stage of their develop
ment at the time the corn Is cultivat-
ed; the age of the corn plant when
any particular method is to be used,
and the conditions that follow any
cultivation. The fundamental truth
is, in order to obtain the best results
in cultivating corn, the method must
be varied to meet the conditions named
above.
