LOGAN WILL LOOK FOR LAYSAN
CONTINUED from Page y

Il am quite sure that the island is
still there" said Captain Warren of
the Shark this forenoon. Captain
Oleson simply missed it. | believe
that he sailed past it during the night
and was unable to find it on his re-
turn
Considerable doubt exists in the
minds of many, especially of those
who have been interested in the dis
appearance of small ocean islands,
that Laysan Island has gone down
Records show that most powerful
eruptions take place before the sink
ing of such islands, and for days
thereafter the atmosphere is filled
with fine powdered dust that, from
its nature, is lighter or Of the same
specific gravity as the air and will
float about for weeks before settling
to the surface. No such phenomenon
is reported by Captain Oleson.
Another fact is that Laysan Isl
land is the home and breeding place
of millions of sea birds of many va
rleties. Had the island gone down
through any cause whatever there
would most certainly have been
birds, either dead or
alive, still about the spot. If the
Luka had been within thirty miles of
the island she would certainly have
thousands of sea birds
either dead or alive. No such report
is made by Captain oleson.

HONOLULU
FOR NORTHWEST

Fred Milverton, second deputy At
torney General, mas shaken the dust
Of Honolulu from his feet and betaken
himself to pastures new. He sailed
+oday on the Alameda for the Coast,
with the intention Of making a trip
through the Pacific Northwest to look
over the field and probably to select
a new place to settle and begin prac-
tice.
Mr.. Milvcrton's departure comes as
a surprise to everybody, as he had
given no intimaton of his intention
to leave, though he has for some time
been considering going sooner or later
TO the Northwest He was a candidate
for the Attorney Generafship, but on
the appointment of Mr.. Hemenway he
decided that Honolulu did not offer the
opportunities he wanted. 1t is not i'm
probable that he will make up his

Mr.. Milverton was third deputy At

Fleming, the second deputy went to
China, when he was advanced peg.

THE WORLDS PORK SUPPLY
It's Market and Price Regulation in the
Future

The Commercial Agent of Canada al
Birmingham, England, furnishes an i'm
pertant estimate raising the question o.
the Worlds Pork and Bacon Supply, from
which we quote as follows:
Southeastern Europe, the original
home of the hog, may be completely
passed by, for, since epidemics and want
of food have decreased the number Of
hogs, and the German market has been
closed, Hungary, Servia, Roumania and
Russia no more influence the world price
of bacon. Italy and France, which sup
ply their own requirement at about two
thirds the price Germay, cannot be reck-
oned within the worlds market. Swift
zerland, Spain and Norway import bacon.
Sweden produces its own requirements,
and is endeavoring to again become an
exporter Of bacon, which 1t has not been
since the introduction of duty on maize
and other articles of food for hogs eleven
years ago. The only two countries in
Europe which export hogs or bacon are
Ireland and Denmark. Ireland exports
10000 hogs to England weekly of which
two-thirds are alive and the rest in the
shape of bacan; while 10000 hogs, in
the shape of bacon, are annually exported
from Denmark to England.
"Whence are the ever-increasing re-
quirements to be supplied?
"Outside of Europe there is only North
America to be reckoned with. If the
Canadian population goes on increasing
as has hitherto been the case. Canada's
export of bacon to England will cease in
the course of few years. There only re-
mains the United States and it is that
country that regulates the price of bacon
in the worlds market. In the course of
time and under the influence of the i'm
mense increase of population, things,
however, are subject to such changes that
there is every reason to believe that this ap-
parently inexhaustible country, within
reasonable time, will consume its own
production of bacon. The large slaugh-
terhouses west of Chicago, which as little
as twelve years ago, competed with
Chicago on the eastern market, now send
almost everything that is not consumed
in the States around the Missouri to the
Western and Southern states, while the
East has more and more to fall back on its
own production. The growing
states OF Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Mis-
,ouri, Kansas and Nebraska are the only
places in the world where an increase in
The number of hogs raised takes place,
and if it happened through some cause or
other, that the number of hogs produced
IN those parts reduced by, say 20 per cent.
we could see prices which would make the |
producers jump for Joy, while millions of
people, to greater or lesser extent, would |
have to give up animal food"

FOR YOUNG STOCK

For young and growing stock the foods
that contain the mineral elements should
be preferred. but where linseed meal
and clover are used there will be no nee
essity for feeding bran. A large number
of farmers purchase bran, and it will be
to their interest to endeavor to know
something of the various kinds on the
market, as a falling off in the nutritious
elements of the bran used may really
cause it to be expensive. There are also
excellent proprietary foods that are well
balanced. Many farmers feed the ground
material independently ofthe course food.
1t is considered more laborious to mix all
the feeding materials together, for the
reason that if the ground grain is to be
mixed with the hay and fodder the latter
must be passed through the cutter and
reduced to fine conditions. OF course,
there are objections to so doing, yet the
cutting of the food into short lengths
will effect saving that would more than
offset the cost of labor as the stock would
eat more and cost less. But there is gain
in feeding ground grain with cut hay or
fodder in another manner. When the
grain is mixed with the coarse material
it is more easily digested, as it is divided
and carried into the stomach in condit-
ion which permits Of the gradual action
OF the digestive organs. The long proven
der, also being in fine state, great pro
portion of nutrition is thereby extracted,
and the system of treating the whole to-.
gether will prove economical.

BERRY SHIPPERS MAKING MONEY
Greatest Shipments in the History Of
RridgeYilIe

BRIDGEVILLE, DEL, June 10. .--Smal
fortunes are being made by growers o
Strawberries this season, and at this ship
ping point, the largest in the world, bet
ter prices are being paid than ever before
Needless to say the growers are doubly
encouraged, for the prolonged cold spell
and continual rains have damaged almost
every other crop, but the weather condi-
tions have benefited strawberries. Never
before were they in such great demand,
and the quality is above the ordinary.
To day was one of the biggest days OF
the season, thirty cars being shipped
from this point, and yet the price re-
mained away above the average, the
buyers representing Philadelphia, New
York, Boston and other houses jumping
at the berries and paying from to IL
cents quart. 5Such>prices never before
we're paid during the rush Of the season.
On such days in the past from to Z cents
would have been welcomed.
Last week berries were in great demand
at 13 cents. The price went as high as
II cents, and one lot was sold for 20 cents
a quart, the berries being exceptionally
fine. The growers sell direct to the buyers
on hauling their berries to the station,
and with the exception of the cost of the
crates and picking, the amount received
may be said to be clear profit.
The yield is not quite SO large as last
season, for the biggest shipment on one
day last year was forty cars. However,
the profits derived by the grower this
season will be far in advance of any pre-
vious season.
That the high prices means much to
the strawberry belt can be imagined from
the fact that last week an average of $780,
600 daily was paid out to the growers of
this immediate section for their berries.
Nearly everybody is being affected by
the high prices, and the merchants are
doing the biggest business of their lives.
The effect is plainly noticeable upon a
town of 900 inhabitants, which is the
population of Bridgeville, and it will
mean still greater boom for the town
and the section roundabout.
This season is demonstrating that the
strawberry, after all, is the most reliable
fruit, and, in the midse of such success
full season the growers are not spending
much time worrying over the fact that
there will not be over one-fourth of a
peach crop, for in the first place they rea-
lize that one-fourth of crop of peaches
is better than full crop. A full crop,
and full crops are becoming scarce as
result of late springs, usually results in
glutted markets and little or no profits
in the end.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Furs that are not likely to be wanted
until the autumn should be slowed away
far from the Vaccinations of~the maraud
ing moth, and to the end that safety may
be secured boxes made of camphor wood
are being sold. Moths are creatutes of q
we'll defined likes and dislikes, and a de.
testation OF certain scents is one of theil
characteristics. Naphtha crystals are
anathema to them, but the odor also il
disagreeable to human nostrils, an obiec.
tion scarcely to be applied to camphol
wood. A still more certain retreat from
the moth pest is the frozen atmosphere
of the ice rooms in which the great fur.
ries stone their customers peltry, after
beating it well to remove every atom ol
dust, process that should be applied to
every square inch of any kind of fur that
is to be put by for the summer.
The best cleansing fluid to keep on
hand for taking out spots is made in this
way: Pour one quart OF soft water over
one-quarter pound of white CASTLE soap
cut fine, and let it stand over night. The
next morning put on the back of the
range, where it will dissolve. but mol
boil. When this is accomplished. put
four or five quarts of soft water in large
vessel, add to it the dissolved soap and
stir thoroughly. Then add one ounce oil
liquid ammonia, one-quarter ounce spirits
of wine, one ounce ether. Shake well
and bottle. Always shake before using.
A bottle of this should be kept on every
washstand ready for use whenever spot
appears on garment. A rubber" made
of little roll of soft dark flannel OF
stockinet, with loop to hang over the
neck of the bottle, will be found a great
convenience and save precious moments
usually wasted in looking for something
to sponge with.

RETTEW CASE IN LEVY COURT
Commissioner Salmon Thought an Imme.
date Settlement Should be Demanded


date Settlement Should be Demanded
Quite Unexpectedly the Rettew matter
was opened in Levy Court Tuesday after
noon after lapse of several weeks, and
for some time occupied the attention of
that body. 1t was brought about by
commissioner Salmon and came as a sur-
prise to the members. About all the
business for the day had been disposed of
and the motion to adjourn was about to
be made, when Mr.. Salmon arose and
made statement which caused all o .'t
up straight and listen. The lethargic air
instantly gave way to one of interest, and
the outcome was that Sylvester D. Town
send, Jr., attorney for the court, was sent
for and asked to make statement of
now the case was progressing for the
county to secure the money which has
been collected by Mr.. Rettew in delin-
quent taxes, aggregating about $4,000.
Il think it is due to the taxpayers of
New Castle County," said Mr.. Salmon,
that thorough report be made to them
OF the progress made to recover this
money-some thirty thousand dollars.
We are allowing this thing to 90 too far.
1t appears to me we are not doing busi-
ness as business men should do it. Why
are not some immediate means taken to
collect this money? The idea of the Levy
Court allowing man who is admitted to
be short in his accounts to take his time
about making settlement is ridiculous
1t is for US to demand settlement and
not let the matter daily along. His error
list has not even been turned in, while
all the other collectors ofdelinquent taxes
are making their reports"
Commissioner Brown stated that the
list was being made up by Mr.. Townsend
and would be presented at an early date.
Mr.. Salmon appeared to think that too
much leniency had already been given
and that an immediate settlement should
be demanded. City Solicitor Townsend
was sent for and before the court stated
that he was then waiting to get lists. He
remarked that certain conferences had
been held between himself and the at
torney representing Mr.. Rettew, but that
he could not make them public at this
time. ".As soon as the error lists are dis
posed of you can have report. It has
been held back until the lists were ready
to be presented" continued Mr.. Town
send.
Mr.. Salmon Gontended that some i'm.
mediate means should be taken to collect
the money; that it was due and should
be paid.
