The San Francisco disaster has
 been a great test for the reconstruct
 ed army. Such an emergency has
 not arisen since the change in forma-
 tion was made in 1902. But the army is standing up we'll to the test and the relief going forward prom ises to be effective and above all things quick. The navy department has ordered all available vessels on the Pacific coast to the scene of the disaster to aid in the work of res cue. The Pacific squadron which had sailed from San Diego for target practice was caught by wireless and hurried north, two torpedo boats leading the way. The old Albatross, the big fish commission steamer, was pressed into service on Tuesday and all the tenders of the light house ser vice available around that part of the coast have been ordered to San Francisco as fast as steam can take them.

Speculation as to the date of the adjournment of congress is active says our Washington correspondent Naturally they would like to be away as early as possible, but the pros poets are that this will be the longest session for a number of years. As everyone knows, or ought to know, each congress has long and short session. Elected in November at the even numbered years, the members take their seats on the first Monday in December of odd numbered years. Thus, the members of the present house were elected in November, 1904, but not sworn in until Decem- Der. 1905. The session beginning in the odd numbered years, which is thus the first" regular session of a congress, can continue for whole year, if the members care to sit that long, for 1t can run up to noon on the first Monday of the even years when the second regular session must begin. The second or short sessions always terminate at noon on the 4th of March in the odd years, but that is when the terms of the mem- bers of the house expire and there is no house of representative" until the new one is organized the follow ing December, unless congress is convoked earlier in special session" by the president. Because of this situation the congress tries to get as much work out of the way in the long sessions af possible and the greater part of legislation enacted during the life of congress, with the exception of the appropriation bills, which have to be passed each session, is perfected during the long session and either passed or put in shape for nasty passage at the short ses- sion.

Arbor day was instituted in N,

Arbor day was instituted in Ne braska in 1872 by Hon J. Sterling Morton. afterwards secretary of az rieuIture, and has since made its way from state to state until provis- ion for it's observance exists in al- most every state and territory. The central idea of Arbor day is the in- telIigent and appreciative planting of trees by school children. The plant ing is usually accompanied by exer- cises. which are intended to impress upon the children the beauty and usefulness of trees and thus to lend to the work the value of a bit of na- ture study. ArbOr day has undoubt- edIy done much to inculeate a love of trees. and has given added i'm petus to the general movement for the better knowledge and the wiser use of forests. Yet there is no Ques- ton that ArbOr day can be made more practical than it has been; that it can be brought into closer touch with forestry by being made the op- poTtunity for carrying out simple steps in forest work. The perma- nent results of Arbor day from the standpoint of successful planting have frequently been disappointing Too often species entirely unsuitei for either economic or ornamental planting have been used Still more common causes of failure have been the lack of sufficient care in doing the work. and neglect of the trees after they are planted Ia this way much of the educational value of the work is lost By leaving the trees unprotected from animals. insects and other destructive agencies the intended good example is turned. fOT want of a little care. into a negative one

sURFEIT OF MOOSE MEAT.
The Experiment. of Party of Pros
 r.-- pectorS in Alaska.

In journeying down one of the tributaries of the Panama river in
 Alaska with a party of prospectors ill 1902, our raft went to pieces on a
 drift and every pound of provisions
 cooking utensils, bedding and pretty
 nearly all the clothing of the outfit
 as we'll as tidy sum of money, went
 to the bottom,' said P. J. Hubberton
 of Seattle.
 Luckily I managed to save my Winchester and few rounds of ann
 intuition, and if it had not been for
 that I believe we would have come
 pretty near starving to death, as the
 place of the accident was 100 miles from any settlement or road house. My gun was the only, one that was saved, and never did one come ill
 handler. We trudged along, shiver- ing and greatly depressed at our loss, but such is the elasticity of the pio- neer adventurer that upon my shoot ing big bull moose about sundown the whole party began to get in bet ter heart, and even to jest about our
 predicament.
 We cut out the best parts of the flesh of the moose and made a hearty supper. Little then did any of us
 think that we would be confined to
 that single article of food for four
 long days. Now, moose meat isn't
 bad, but have to eat it for sixteen straight meals, unrelieved by grain of salt or pepper is hardship such as hope never to experience again. Long before the dawn of the fifth day how we did loathe the very sight of the solitary item of our bill of fare. Some of the party experienced extreme nausea, but marching over the snow is hard work, and the bangs of hunger would drive them again to the monotony of the moose menu.
 Well, when at last we got to a roadhouse and found that plenty of beans and coffee were to be had a shout of joy went up that rent the heavens. I had S10 left from the flood and every cent of it went for just one meal. I think we ate for two hours, then went to sleep, woke up and went to eating again until not a bean was left. I wouldn't even at this far day from that gas tronomic tragedy partake of a chunk of moose meat for the weight of the animal In gold. d.'-Washingt Post.

OLD TIME TRAVEL.

It was in 1858 that the first regu- lar stage coach began running be- tween the two capitals, London and Edinburgh. It ran once a fortnight and the fare was & 4, which would i be a good deal more than $20 to- day. The time taken to the jour- ney is not accurately known, but be- tween York and London it was four days. This lavish system of commun- ication was not, however, kept up, as in 1763 the coach ran between London and Edinburgh once a month only. taking a fortnight, if the weather was favorable, to the jour ney. In 1754 a heroic effort was made to improve the London and Edinburgh coach. The Edinburgh Courant for that year contained the following advertisement:
 "The Edinburgh stage coach, for the better accommodation of pas sengers, will be altered to a genteel two end glass coach, being on steel springs, exceeding light and easy, to go in ten days in summer and twelve in winter. to set out the first Tuesday in March and continue 1t from Hosea Eastgate's the Coach and Horses. in Dean street, Soho. Lon- don, and from John Someryille's, in the Canongate, Edinburgh, etc. Pas sengers to pay as usual. Performed. if God permits. by your dutiful ser want, Hosea Eastgate."
 In the days of stage coaches peo- pie sometimes cIuhbed together and hired a post-chaise for their journey as being quicker and less expensive. and Scottish newspapers occasionally contained advertisements to the ef- feet that a person about to proceed to London would be glad to hear of a fellow ''adventurer" or two bent on the same journey to share the ex- pense.-Chicago Daily News.

California Cherry Brings s1os.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Proba- ply the highest prices ever paid for California cherries were realized at a local commission merchants establish. ment when a box of the fruit was sold at auction for S2,440. The money was added to the relief fund for the earth quake sufferers. The cherries were the first received here. this season from California, and a box of them was sold at auction, each cherry being offered for sale singly. The first cherry was sold for S105, and the others sold for amounts ranging from $100 down.

SAW MILL FIRE Of
INCEN0IARY ORIGIN.
Plant of the Mcmillan Lumber Com
panY Consumed Friday Night.
OIL OVER LUMBER PILES
And Fires Started in the Yards at Five
Different Places But the Lumber
Being Green Little Damage Re-
suited of Suspect Made.

The large lumber mill belonging to
the Mcmillan Lumber Company, locat-
ed in Election District No. g, near Will
son, on the Potomac River, twelve
miles south of Oakland, was completely
destroyed by fire on Friday night of last
week, the fire being clearly of an incen-
diary origin.
An attempt was also made to burn
the lumber yards adjoining the mill but
the lumber being yet green the attempt
failed, although oil in plenteous quanti-
ties had been poured over the lumber at
five different points in the yard and
set on fire.
Sheriff Lee went to the scene of the
fire and made thorough examination
and being convinced that the fire was
the work of an incendiary he caused the
arrest of man named Platt, who had
been in the employ of the lumber com
pany for short time, but Platt suspect
ing that he would be arrested went over
into West Virginia and refused to re-
fused to return to the Maryland side of
of the river, the arrest being made by
the deputy sheriff of Grant county.
Platt is being held at Gormania and I'M
less he can furnish bond to the amount
of $500 he will be sent to the Maysviile
(W. Va jail and then upon requisition
to the State authorities brought to Oak
land.
On the mill fire insurance policies to
the amount Of $4,000 were in force and
on the yards additional insurance to the
amount of $4,000 had been taken out
by the company, the policies having
been placed by Messrs. Renninger,
Hamill and Thayer of Oakland.

A BILL THAT WILL DIE
The Governor VIII Not Sign The
Accident Liquor Bill.

Governor WarfeId announced Thurs
day that he would not sign the House
bill, which prohibits the sale of Iiqour
at Accident, Garrett county.
In explaining his position. he said:
q have had large petition signed by
residents Of the place asking me to
withhold my signature from the bin.
The only person affected by the measure
is hotel keeper. This man inherited
his property from his mother, and for
the last ~ years liquors have been sold
at this place. During all this period
the keeper of the hotel has never been
indicted and has never had a complaint
lodged against him. Those fayoring
the passageOf the act are less numerous
than those opposing it, and taking into
consideration the good record of the
proprietor of the place in question, l
have concluded to withhold my sigma
ture from the bill "
Among those who witnessed the sign
ing of bills were Mr.. w. Lee Carey,
who received the pen which was used in
signing the Sinapuxent charter and
Senator Brown, of Garrett county, saw
the Governor attach his signature to
the Forestry Commission bill, which
was introduced by him.

5stss NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t has been sometime since there has
been anything written from White
Rock and for that reason l will try to
note few of the things transpiring at
this place.
The school at this place is Of medium
size at present, but through the efforts
Of the teacher and some of the patrons
the school is still progressing. The first
two terms had an enrolment of 40 pu-
pills, but for the last term the enrolment
was only 81.
There have been preaching, singing
school, prayer meeting and literary So
ciety meetings held at this place, but all
have closed. The last prayer meeting
held was composed of twenty-five young
people and nearly all non-professors;
so, as prayer meeting, the affair was
failure. 1t is pity the older people
only have time on Sundays to be good.
The genuine, all-wool and yard wide
christians, will attend the week night
prayer meetings, while the Sunday
christians will tell poor sinners how they
should live. Precept is good, but prac-
tice is better. We are not judging, but
we are assured that we may know the
tree by its fruit. We acknowledge that
we, the young people of White Rock,
are pretty bad, but it is a wonder that
we are not much worse. Water cannot
rise above its source, neither can young
people be good without being surrounded
with good examples and within the in
fuence of a good environment
