STATE PARTICIPATION.
Virginia's Call To Sister Stsi
Meeting With Hearty Response.

Chief Commissioner Dunn, Of New
York, the head Of the board which
will have charge Of New York's par
ticipation in the Jamestown Exposi
tion, very aptly struck the key mote
of the Jamestown celebration wher
he said that "Virginia IS invitation tc
her sister states was nothing but the
call Of the mother inviting her chill
dren to celebrate the parents birth,
day." That it has been so considered
the ready response which the states
have made to ,Virginia's invitation
sufficiently proves.
The great Empire state has the
honor of making the largest appro-
priation up to the present time, viz,
$150,0OO.OO
North Carolina was the first state
to appropriate, but there was condi-
ton connected with the legislative
enactment, viz, that the United States
should appropriate a certain sum be-
fore North Cardinals bill should go
into force.
The first unconditional appropria-
ton came from New Jersey; $4,000
was the sum designated. Recently
Governor Stokes, Of that state, ac-
companied by his entire commission,
visited the exposition grounds, inspec-
ted the surrounding territory, became
acquainted with the plans Of the
managers and returning to New Jer-
sew, proclaimed that it would be his
endeavor to see that his state largely
increased her appropriation, so that
she would make an exhibit commen-
surate with the historical Importance
and commercial position Of the COM
monwealth.
The commissioners from many 9TH
er states have visited the exposition
and secured sites for their buildings.
The first commission came from
Rhode Island and the conferences be-
tween Rhode Island and the James
town people were very interesting and
left many new thoughts with the man
ayers Of the celebration.
Rhode Island, which is a very rich
state in proportion to its size and pop
ulation, has history Of which any
American commonwealth might we'll be
proud, and the states commissioners
decided that an historical display in
their state building would be the most
proper form of participation, and
they have prepared plans for such an
exhibition.
Connecticut made an appropriation

A Ghost Story
By James Mitchell.

squall. | was so scared and hOllered
so loud that'I could not hear. Old
Geana passed me and went on after
the other boys. We we're running
from home, and when the thing pass
ed me, I changed my course and soon
came out into the big road about 3-4
Of mile from home through the
woods and about a mile and a half
around the road, so I took the road
around. I had not gone far before
I heard the crowd coming behind me.
I had gotten in the lead and old Geana
had given up the chase and we did
not hear anything more Of him that
night. We got home, awoke father
and told him all that had happened
and a great deal more. Each fellow
had seen it and each drew a different
picture in his own imagination. One
boy said it had very large eyes, most
as large as saucers. I declared it was
like a giant and had long hair all
over its body. I just pictured the
old darkey's hairy man I had heard
him tell about. The old >darkey said
I was right, for "dat was jist like
ole Geana, and he bet dat wus whut
hit wuz." The longer time we had,
the worse the story got. 1t broke up
'possum hunting in those woods. No
telling where the story would have
ended, it almost broke up the school,
for the children were afraid to 60.
Not long after this Mr.. James
Bonds and my father made up big
coon hunt. Mr.. Bonds lived near the
town Of Newberry. He had four dogs
and my father three. On the evening
beforehand he came and brought his
dogs to spend the night. Soon after
supper the crowd got together and
asked me if I was not going. But l
had not gotten over my other hunt
and would not 60. They carried along
two negro men to do the choppng.
They hunted nearly all night and
caught several 'possums but no coons.
Mr.. Bonds and his crowd spent the
night and took breakfast next morn
ing. The crowd was so large that all
could not eat at one time, so I had to
wait and that made me mad. I went |
out and sat down on the piazza steps F.!
next to the kitchen where the waiting
girl had to pass in and out with break
fast as she carried it in from the
kitchen.
All Of Bonds dogs were lying in
The piazza and ours were just outside
IN the yard. AS the negro girl pass
ID out to the kitchen she guyed me
for having to wait. I jumped off the
steps and reached under the piazza
'or stick to throw at the girl. One

azza, with a yelp, right down on my
Jack knocking me down.. Everyone
# Bonds dogs piled out on me and
hey strung me in a minute. All Of
our dogs pitched into Bonds dogs.
And there on me they had free for
III dog fight. I hollered, for I thought
hey we're going to eat me up. My
nother screamed and I tell you I stop
'ed the eating for while. They got

Chicago, April 3O.-The Chronicle
says:
Prosecution of the suit against the
Armour and Swift interests in Texas
for the purpose of securing *12, 900,
900 penalty for violation of the anti
trust laws may result in the closing of
all packing plants in Texas and the
withdrawal Of the Chicago packing
concerns from that state.
This was the announcement made
by officials of the Swift and Armour
companies in discussing the effects of
the suits brought against thine during
the week by the attorney general of
Texas. The officials declared that the
packing business in Texas was just be-
ing put upon a proper business basis
and that it was still in an expert
mental stage.
ut is declared that the question of
withdrawal from business in Texas has
been considered several times when
the Chicago companies were being har.
assed by multiplicity of suits, and
that the litigation for $l2, 100000, if
pushed, will be followed by the execu.
ton of the plans which have been in
contemplation.

Self-Binder Run on Skids.

A Minnesota farmer writes: Farm
ers on the Minnesota side in the Red
River Valley tried new scheme in
harvesting grain last season. Excess
sive rains just before and during the
harvest season SO flooded the grain
fields that 1t was impossible to get
into them with the binder on wheels.
The grain stood up all right, as it does
in that country. but the ground was
too soft to enable the binder to do its
work. Some genius conceived the idea
Of putting the binder on skids, putting
on horses enough to pull it through
sled fashion. meanwhile running the
binding machinery with small gaso-
line engine. A large acreage Of grain
was cut In this way and saved which
would otherwise have been total loss.

Corporation Law FOR
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Washington, April 30.-The Philip
pine commission has just enacted a
corporation law patterned after the
corporation acts generally in force in
the United States. Up to the present
time the only law under which capital
could incorporate in the Philippine
islands was the old Spanish code of
commerce, which is repealed by the
new law. Persons wishing to invest
capital in the Philippines can do so
under legal provision framed in ac-
cordance with common law principles.
The law requires all public utility
or public service corporations doing
business in the islands subject to gov
eminent inspection. The incorpora.
ton fee is only *l2. so gold.
The act co obtains special provisions
regarding railroad companies, banking
and trust companies, insurance and
religious corporations, building and
loan corporations and colleges and
other institutions of learning.
American and other foreign corpo-
rations may qualify to do business in
the Philippine islands by obtaining a
license from the proper officer Of the
insular government. To secure a Ii.
cense, it is announced, corporation
need only show that it is financially
sound and file a statement setting forth
the nature of it's business, the amount
of its capital stock, its assets and liza
bilities, etc., and the name of its re-
sponsible local agent. The license fee
is 1875 gold.
Without this license foreign \corpo-
rations have no standing whatever in
the islands. Foreign corporations are
bound by the laws, rules and regula.
tions applicable to domestic corpora.
tions except such provisions as relate
to corporate organization and disso-
luton or which fix the responsibilities
and liabilities, and the interest" of
stockholders of the corporation.

ervation in Montana was accepted af-

FUNDS AT DISPOSAL
OF The Committee

Washington, May 1.-Three hundred
thousand dollars was forwarded by
wire by the American Red Cross yes
terday to James I. Phelan, chairman
of the Red Cross and relief committee
in San Francisco, and he was advised
that 81 100000 is at the disposal of
the committee.
Judge w. w. Morrow, president of
the California branch of the Red
Cross, advised the National Red Cross
that it will be better from this time
on for the society to send money to
California rather than food and provi-
sions, as the immediate needs are pro-
yided for.

kinds of hotbed plants ii good growth.
But, useful as they are, cold frames
are seldom used in private gardens, ex-
cept of the rich. Yet they are not ex-
pensive and are very easy to make.
The best place for n cold frame Is
on the south side of a hill. There, pro-
tected from the cold north winds, the
plants get the full heat of the sun and
make great growth long before it is at
all possible to grow them in the open.
To make cheap cold frame all that
Is needed are Il few boards. and. in
with welloiled cotton cloth. This pro.
tects from rain and from moderate
cold. Extreme cold would have to be
shut out by covering with carpet. an
old blanket or hay. straw or any other
light material that makes good cover.
The sun does not shine with full force
through the cloth. but gives heat
enough for most plants. In the illus
tration. the cold frame of Professor II.
L. Watts is an ideal place to force a
rapid growth.
Well Drained Soil for Fruit Trees.
Even the plum. which will stand
more wet than any other class with
the possible exception of the ounce. re-
quires that tire soil be well drained !;
there is difference between moist
soil and a wet soil. and soil may
be well drained yet be moist 1t is
next to impossible 10 expect adequate
results for time and labor expended in
raising fruit in orchards unless the soil
is placed i'm proper condition. No
fruit tree will thrive on soil that Is
wet, whether the wet be on the sur
face or beneath it. Any soil with depth
enough to supply fertility to the tree
roots will grow fruit trees. for even
If it Is not rich enough it can be made
so provided it is not SO sandy that the
fertilizer goes beyond the reach of the
roots or so wet that the roots rot in
stead Of grow. The wet soil can be
subdued by draining and the sandy soil
put in proper condition by stable ma
nure or by growing any crop which
will supply humus and blowing such
crop under.
When pigs are well born, they make
good growth If they have plenty of
grass, shade, water and little grain
to keep them in flesh and to keep them
gentle.

ALARM over FUNDS
San FRANCISCO AFRAID OF PRO.
VISION SHORTAGE.
Only lO8 Carloads Reported As
Enroute--SecretaryTaft Wires.
However, that a Million Dollars
ls Still at the Disposal of the
Committee.

San Francisco, May IA feeling
akin to CONSERVATION was created at
the meeting of the general municipal
committee yesterday when Mayor
Schimtz stated that the city faced a
shortage in the food supply.
1t had been the popular belief, and
that OF many officials also, that San
Francisco, through the generous aid
Of the nation, had been placed in a 20
sition above want for a long time to
come, and the mayors declaration
came in the nature of painful sur
prise.
With no immediate prospect that
conditions will be so normalized that
the community will be able to feed
and take care of itself, the supply of
food on hand or under way is becom.
ing distressingly small. No man con-
nected with the relief affairs is will
ing to hazard an opinion as to when
relief work may be abandoned.
Only 1903 Cars Coming.
Mayor Schmitz informed the gen.
eral committee yesterday morning
that, from information in his posses.
sion it appeared that 700 carloads of
food and supplies of various descrip-
tions had been distributed since the
morning Of the earthquake, on April
Is, and the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe
and other transportation lines had
only information of 1OS carloads on
the way.
"1f," said the mayor, this infor.
nation is correct, and have no rea-
son to doubt it, we will soon be worse
off than we were a week ago. If the
information has gone abroad through
the country that we are amply sup.
piled, it is most unfortunate, for it is
apparent that we are not.
ut is not even known how much
money we can depend upon with
which to purchase supplies, for you
have heard from Mr.. Phelan on sew
eral occasions that part, at least, of
this money subscribed by individuals
or companies in the East is being dis
bursed through private agents here
Nonperishable Food Needed.
while it is true that contributions
of money will be very much more to
the purpose than contributions of sup
plies, it should be announced to the
world that if the one is not available
the other will be most gratefully re-
ceived. am now speaking of non
perishable supplies. and as to such
things as eggs, milk, butter and the
like, it will be better if we continue
to buy these things in the immediate
vicinity
Chairman Phelan, of the committee
on finance, supplementing the remarks
of the mayor, said he had not as yet
received reply to his tele-
gram to Secretary Taft asking what
the relief committee might expect
from the fund of 50, 800, 900 appropri-
ated by congress, and in the absence
of such reply continued to assume
that this money would be available.
He had infol nation, however, that
the 100000 transmitted Saturday by
Secretary Taft was given by him as
president of the National Red Cross,
and was in no sense a contribution by
the government.

anti-cigarette law has been declared

bill has already passed the house.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1906-05-03

Washington, May 1.-The decision
Friday next for amendments under the
fifteen minute rule means a final vote
on the measure at no distant day. On
some sides in the senate it is stated
that the meaning is that the faction
demanding a court review amendment
has been assured off the necessary
strength to adopt such an amendment,
while other senators charge that this
faction has been able to get the
strength to amend the bill and has
abandoned it's fight.
Senators Crane and Kean stated yes
terday that they have the votes to
amend the bill, but that no agreement
had been reached as to what the
amendment will be. They said, how
ever, that in every sense it would be a
broad judicial review.
Contrary opinions were expressed
by Senator Dolliver and Senator Long,
two of the men who have fought for
the bill as it passed the house or with
some such court review amendment as
was agreed upon at conference at the
White House by friends of the bill.
They stated after the adjournment
of the senate yesterday that they did
not believe there were votes enough
in the senate to put broad review
amendment into the bill, and they
were not sure that the senate would
make any change at all, even such a
Limited review as was proposed by
Senator Long after the White House
conferenceU Undoubtedly there are sew
eral votes that both sides are claiming
and of which neither side is certain.
