Georgetown custom house Little of the
stuff comes direct TO the water front.
There are occasional direct shipments of
asphalt from Trinidad and Cuba, spruce
laths and shingles from New Brunswick
and rock plaster from Canada. But the
bulk of the business comes into the coun-
try through other ports and is bonded to
Washington, where the examination is
made at leisure by officials who have more
time and inclination to be polite and oblig
ing than have those of New York and
Philadelphia.
Since the inauguration of the bonding Sys-
tenn In this country the business of the
Washington custom house has increased
amazingly. The Increase in entries for the
year 1905 over the year 1886 was T15 per
cent and the receipts In the same period
advanced 441a per cent. At the same time
the cost of collection decreased from 25.4
cents on the dollar to 11.5 cents, and the
clerical force was increased by only three
members.

that is the ancient ana ttme-honored one

Way to FIGHT Fruit Pests.

Wenatchee Republic: There is a
law On the statutes providing that
certain residence or business sec
tions may be set apart as improve
ment districts; that improvements
may be made and charged up to the
property in said districts and COL
lected in the usual manner of max
ing tax collections. d. D Olds,
who is a large land owner in the
valley, suggests that this idea be
carried still farther aud that a law

residents OF the district 10 see that
