HOW BERRY CROPS ARE MADE

a
Everyone who has experience in
growing berries knows that the crops
that are grown at the least expense
per quart are those that yield the
greatest income per acre If the crop
itself is of good quality. It does not
pay to grow poor berry crops, yet
sometimes the seasons are unfavor-
able and 1t is impossible to produce
good crops even with wise provision
and the best of care. Humus has a
great deal to do with the ability Of
the soil to retain moisture, and 1t
often contains plant food in most ex.
cellent forms. Stable manure in mod.
crate quantities, where the soil is not
naturally we'll filed with humus, will
supply this important element of sue.
cess. Crops of clover or cowpeas
ploughed under will do it also. The
very biggest and best berries are
often found where the plants grow
wild with their roots imbedded in soil
that is almost half composed of leaf
mould.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Forty thousand

gines in head-on collision when run

the Brighton Beach track. The engines
were smashed into a mass of twisted
iron, and thousands of persons Joined
In rush, at times amounting almost
to panic, through water and mire to
get pieces of the wreckage as souv-
enirs.
Through the center of the race track,
across bog and mire, a railroad track
nearly a half mile in length was built
The two engines were OF eighty tons
each, but of an old type. In their new
paint they looked fit to draw a modern
express as they pulled and painted back
and forth across the track many times
during the afternoon, to keep up in
terest. They We're built for New
Jersey railroad and for several years
had been used in the freight yards.
With the tracks thickly sanded so
that the wheels would not slip, the en-
gines were started from either end OF

PORTLAND AND
HONOLULU TRADE

A notable tribute to the good work
being done for the city by the local
Chamber of Commerce through adver-
Using is the following editorial notice
recently given in the Honolulu Adver-
tiser:
This issue of the Advertiser contains
the first exhibit of the resolve of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce to ad-
vertise in the Honolulu press. 1t is a.
happy and a live idea. One of its
objects is to secure patronage for the
Matson Navigation Company's steamer
line between Portland and Honolulu,
inaugurated by the recent trip of the
steamer Hiionian to this port and Hilo.
No doubt our merchants will show
practical appreciation OF the fraternal
hand OF commerce held out to them by
the Portland merchants. The opening
OF steam communication between the
islands and the Sound ports means
the opening of a valuable new market
for many Hawaiian products. 1t will
probably also give us various commod-
tiles at lower prices than those TO
which we have been accustomed.
Immediately upon confirmation Of the
rumor that the Matson Navigation
Company would establish a monthly
service between this port and Honolulu
the Chamber Of Commerce inserted u
live commercial advertisement Ia the
Honolulu press calling attention TO tho
proposed steamship service and present
ing In attractive style the advantages
