Importance are the reform OF the Mexican
currency, placing that country upon a gold
basis, and the practical recognition by thds
government of active duties in maintenance
OF the Monroe doctrine. This latter move,
constituting Uncle Sam "the policeman of
the western hemisphere" appears in the
background of a protocol January 20) be-

This provides for a temporary fiscal pro-

Apple Has a Long Descent.
From the Chicago Chronicle


Among the fruits of the rose family ora
apples' pears, peaches, plums. cherries and
ounces as well as Strawberries, raspber-
res ana biackberries. The apple is a fruit
OF long descent. Among the ruins of the
SWISS lake jewellers are found remains or
small seed apples which show the seed
valves and the grains of flesh. The crab
apple is a native of Britain and was the
stock on which were grated the choicast
varieties when brought from Europe chiefly
France. Apples of some sort were alum
dant before the conquest and had been IN
troduced probably by the Romans. Yet
often as Saxon manuscripts speak of an
Piles and cider there is no mention of named
varieties before the thirteenth century.
Then one may read of the pearmain and the
costard, Chaucer's mellow costard."
In the roll of household expenses of Flea
nor, wife of Simon DeMontfort, apples and
pears are entered. In the year 1856 the
royal fruiterer to Edward / presents a bill
for apples. pears. ounces. medlars and
nuts. Pippins, believed to be seedlings
hence called from the pips or seeds, are
said not to have been grown in England
before 1925. The exact Drayton, writing
of the orchards of Kent at that period. can
name only the apple, the orange, the rus
sean, the sweeting, the pome water and the
reinette.
John Winthrop is usually held responsible
for the introduction of the apple into the
new world But as matter of fact when
Winthrop anchored off Cape Ann the re-
cluse Blackstone already had apple trees
growing about his cabin at Shawmut Neck
Some of the best of American apples were
brought over by the Huguenots. who settled
In Flushing, L. l., ia 1900, and planted
there, among others. the pomme royale or
eDiea apple.

THE FIGHT WITH THE PLAQUES

Science has had full hands in its fight
with disease. In America attention CEN
tered in the yellow fever scourge which
swept through the south In the summer and
early fall carrying off All lives in Louis
lana alone, but the ravages of this same
disease in Honduras, of the cholera in Ger
many and Russia, and of the dreadful bu-
bonic plague in India must be placed in
the chronology-the aforementioned proving
one of the worst visitations the crowded
east has known, 1.040,OO0 dying during the
year.
1t may also be that 1905 will claim the
honor of the discovery of a consumption
cure. Emil Won Behring of Berlin an
nounces that he has accomplished nothing
less than this but final proof of the claim 8
actually has not yet been furnished,
though the unofficial world of medicine Is
generally inclining to accept the fact.
Should this prove the case Prof. Behring
will receive for life an annual income of
$4,000 from the Prix-Lacave, as well as a
lump fortune of $2000,0 900 once set aside by
a Brazilian Croesus for the man who might
yanquish the white plague"

ASIA; CURZON AND A TREATY.

Another proconsular change of actual in
terhatlonal Importance came to Asia in Au-
gust, when Curzon resigned as Indias vice
roy, the act marking the end of struggle
between two eminently masterful and splen-
didly capable men-Curzon and Kitchener.
Both worked for one end-safeguarding In
dia against aggression from wfthout-yet

the supremacy of the civil government on
the one hand and the military autocracy on

Cleveland Citizens Hove an Idea John
D. Rockefeller Would Sweep City.

CLEVELAND, Aug. IA delegation
of first ward republicans went to COM
mittee headquarters yesterday with the
suggestion that John D. Rockefeller
be asked to consider the mayoralty
nomination. In the opinion of the dele
cation Mr.. Rockefeller could promul-
gate a platform that would insure vic
tory almost without a struggle.
The platform suggested was that Mr..
Rockefeller go before the voters with
the proposition to buy the Cleveland
Electric Railway company and turn the
property over to the people if elected
and again to make a campaign promise
that if elected he would Immediately
complete the group plan.
AS a clincher it was suggested that
Mr.. Rockefeller would sweep the city
by agreeing to pay the taxes of all
residents during mis- term of office.

COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZA-
TON LISTEN TO CON-
PLANTS TODAY.
pIication for Reduction on
Traekage.

The county commissioners are sit
ting as board of equalization this af-
ternoon but few protests so far have
been filed with the board. The North
agent, Jay Sedgewick, protested
against an assessment of $500 on the
main line Of it's Wallula branch and
asked that the assessment be reduced
to $50S0 per mile. The track is 1854
miles in length. The company also
asks that the assessment on 1.455 miles
Of sidetrack be reduced from $4,000 to
1920 per mile.
Theodore Wolf appeared before the
board and complained that his assess
ment of $4,000 on residence property
in Eagan avenue was too high. When
the matter was looked up it was found
that his assessment was only $3.50.
Mr.. Wolf was subject to considerable
to even matters by supplying the board
with cigars.
H. H. Jones complained of $1,000
assessment on his residence in Alder
street and it was reduced to $500 on
the recommendation of Assessor Ber-
ryman. 1t was SHOWN that a clerical
error had been made.
O. P. Jaycox Of the Chicago store ap-
peared before the board and COM
planned that Assessor Bergman had
made an arbitrary assessment of his
stock of goods The assessor replied
that Mr.. Jaycox had refused to show
him his invoice or sign the assessment
blanks provided by law. The asser-
ton provoked some personal remarks
from Mr.. Jaycox who intimated that
his high assessment was the result of
spite work. Assessor Bergman denied
the accusations spiritedly.
T. D. Rockwell, of the state tax
commission, will be in Walla Walla to
confer with the board before it adj

lice began an effort to chase the others
out of town. Chief Gowland found
that he required spoilers, but Mayor
Well opposed the employment of such
men, and refused funds for their re-
Enumeration. Finally the chief raised
some funds from one of the taxed es-
Establishments, employed spoilers with
out the knowledge of the mayor and
secured several convictions.
When the graft story first, reached
the mayor, the chief did not want to
admit that he had acted against the
mayors orders in the methods used to
convict the women, and denied receiv-
ing money from the women to help the
work. Later he admitted the charge
and explained the situation. There is
nothing to show that he profited in any
way by the money secured.

tiles and legislatures just as long as it

The league is allying itself with the

CHINA AND KOREA TO WAIT.
Their Claims to be Made After Peace
Is Made

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Despite the
Demans made by China and Korea,
it is settled that they will be left out
of the questions that are to come up
for adjustment in the peace conference
of Japan and Russia. Official an
nouncement has been made by SERGE
cation that the claims submitted by
the two countries would be ignored in
the convention at Portsmouth. Mr.
Sato says:
This is not the time for China and
Korea to make their representations
1t is really preposterous for them to
attempt to dictate to either Japan or
Russia any sort of terms. They must
wait patiently until after the peace
conference has concluded it's work, and
then, if they have any claims, they
may properly present them to Japan
and Russia.
"The reasons for the demands OF
those nations for what may be called
indirect representation in the confer
ence are obvious. By acquiescing in
such an arrangement, it would in al
probability render peace protocol en-
tirely impossible. If not that, it would
retard the work of the commission anG

sary length
