Value of Irrigation.

From report recently compiled by
an expert connected with the o. X. 81
N. Co., relative to the revenue de-
rived from irrigated and non-irrigated
lands In the Yakima valley. we
gather the following information:
Fifty thousand acres OF non-irri.
gated land produced gross returns for
freight shipped over the N. b p. r
R., the sum of 800, 900. or $i 80 per
acre, while AZ s65 acres of irrigated
land paid $343, 667 or S7.s3 per acre
We do not think ii is necessary to
comment on these facts They are
so patent that any reader can SEQ that
irrigation works wonders in any

CHINESE VERSUS JAPANESE.
Canada May Throw Down the Bars
Against Mongols.

Ottawa, Oct. 14.-At the approach
ing session Of the Dominion parliament,
which opens next month, it is under
stood that move will be made to throw
down the barriers against Chinese inn
migration into Canada by abolishing
the head tax on Chinese, which is
practically prohibitive. 1t is asserted
that this step would afford solution
of the Oriental problem, which is now
assuming an acnte phase among the
people of British Columbia, particular
ly in the coast cities. Y
1t is pointed out that, when the Chi
nese were allowed to enter the Domin-
ion at nominal tax rate, there was
very little trouble with Japanese arriv-
ais, and absolutely none from the Hin
dus. If the head tax were abolished or
even reduced to nominal amount,
there would follow a big thrush from
China. The Chinese would work for
such small wages that the people of
British Columbia would be able to solve
the Japanese immigration problem by
giving Chinese labor the preference.

CARS STILL SCARCE.
Lane Says the Traffic Grows Faster
Than the Supply.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane returned
today from a trip TO the Pacific coast,
Thoroughly convinced that the business
of the Northwest is going to suffer by
reason Of the general car shortage, He
found throughout that section that, al
though the railroads aie ineEeasiss,g their
'iness' is gfb~iag twicev apidly, and
in consequence the railroads are bound
TO fall farther and farther behind.
He did not tdscuss the question in de-
tail or indicate what action the Inter-
state Commerce commission is likely to
take, for he has not yet had an oppor-
tunity OF conferring with his colleagues.
Mr.. Lane said there would be fuel
famine in the Northwest if there should
be long. hard winter. Increase of
manufactures and increased use of coal
by railroads calls for more coal than
the old markets have been accustomed
to supply, and wood fuel cannot supply
the deficiency for domestic use, because
of the high wages demanded by lumber
men, making it improbable to place
wood on the market in large quantities.
If the winter is mild and short, the
Northwest may escape without suffer-
ing, otherwise there will be hardship.

Hood River Fruit Grower Makes Dis
coverY Of Fraak. ~

Hood Rivera discovery has beer
made by A. I. Mason, vice president Of
the Northwest Fruitgrowers' associa-
tion, that may rank with the greatest
horticultural feats of Luther Burbank,
the wizard Of Santa Rosa, Cal. 1t con-
sists Of pear, well developed in every
way, large, of fine quality and flavor
but absolutely seedless and coreless.
The fruit was examined by some of the
best known fruftgrowers and horticul-
turists at Hood River and many others
and is pronounced the most wonderful
example of entirely seedless deciduous
fruit ever seen or heard Of. q, Unlike the
seedless apple, the Mason seedless pear,
as it has been named, is a perfect one,
being from s1S:to AZ inches in height
and 4 to 5'inches in circumference.
In telling the story of his discovery
Mr.. Mason stated that the tree on which
they grew, was bought for Clapp's
Fav6rrite, and is but three years old.
Last;year it'had but few pears on it and
little'attention was paid to.them except
to note. that they bore later than that
variety ID supposed to. @
= This'year, however, it had several
boxes of,large, fine fruit and in being
prepared: for canning one of the pears
was out open and to the astonishment
of Mason's wife, had no seeds in it.
Thinking this was just freak on the
part of one pear, Mrs. Mason cut open
another. which also had no seeds or ccre
and called Mr.. Mason s attention to the
fact. Hurriedly he cut open half box
OF the fruit and found it all seedless
and coreless, and not being posted on
pears, as apples, he came to town to
discover if any one knew of similar
Incident.
\ More could be found among either
growers, shippers or students of horti-
culture and the pear was pronounced
not a Clapp's Favorite, but one Of un-
known variety that gives every evidence
of having in some way performed what
mankind has been trying to- do for
years, grow seedless deciduous fruit that
will be the equal tn flavor and qr>lity

Curumilla, after concealing, with that
Indian skill he so thoroughly possessed,
the young ladies at a spot where they
were thoroughly protected from bullets,
had placed himself, rife In hand, not by
the side of the two riders, but, with
characteristic redskin prudence, he am
buscaded himself behind the carriage,
probably rejecting that he represented
the entire infantry force, and not caring,
through point of honor, very absurd in
his opinion, to expose himself to a death
not only certain but useless to those he
wished to defend.
The horsemen, however, on coming
within range of the persons they were
pursuing, stopped, and by their gestures
seemed to evince hesitation the fugi-
tives did not at all understand. after the
fashion in which they had hitherto been
pursued. The motive for this hesitation,
which the Frenchman and his companions
could not know, and which perplexed
them so greatly, was very simple.
Carnero for it was the generals capa-
tag who was pursuing the carriage, with
his poems, all at once perceived, with a
secret pleasure, it is true, though he was
careful not to let his companions notice
