SUPERVISORS ISSUE
TAKEN into COURT

San Francisco. Aug. 1.-The issue
between the board of supervisors ap-
pointed by Mayor Taylor and the four
teen men named by ex-Mayor Schmitz
for the same Office was brought into
the courts yesterday, when Presiding
Judge Coffey, on application of Attor-
ney W. B. Kollmyer, on behalf of the
Taylor appointees, issued temporary
restraining order to prevent the
Schmitz board from making any move
toward assuming Office.
Kollmyer, on behalf of the board,
fled an application for an injunction
at the Office of the county clerk, alleg-
ing that it is part Of the plan Of the
Schmitz men to seize the Office, rec
ords, seal and other belongings of the
supervisors and attempt to usurp the
authority of the board.
It is alleged that Chief of Police Dr.
nan intends to aid the fourteen unli-
censed men in this raid on the super
visors' Offices, and the court is asked
to retsrain them all from doing any
thing in this direction.
Judge Coffey issued temporary re-
straining order and assigned the ease
to Judge Seawell in department No. l..

Her Estimate Was Short.

Aunt ThirZa Tammerley is universal
ly admitted to be difficult" She is,
In particular, one of those people for
whom nobody can ever do anything
which she can be brought to admit was
done exactly right. So when her fav-
orite niece, Marjorie, saw her face
cloud slowly after the first smile with
which she received the package brought
her from Paris, she was scarcely sur
prised. She only wondered what would
turn out to be Aunt Thirza's grievance
this time. The next day she learned
1t from Cousin Jane, to whom Aunt
Thirza had confided her disappoint-
ment
"Jane," Aunt Thirza had said, seri-
ously, II am disappointed in Marjorie.
She Is not considerable; she is not tact
full. To be sure, she has brought me
a present, when 1 only asked her to
do commission, and 1 am trying to
be grateful, but-No, Jane, Marjorie
is not considerable.
II wanted gloves; particularly like
nice gloves. That is why 1 asked her
to get them for me-to get as many
as I was likely to need. Those were
my words; remember them distinct
ly. And she has brought me six pairs
six!
II wanted, Of course, to lay in a
stock that would last me my lifetime.
Wearing only one pair year, as l
do, it wouldn't have been so many.
But six!
Does the child think that I am
dropping into my grave? With our
long-lived family behind me, eighteen
wouldn't have been unreasonable, and
a dozen no more than decent Six!
81 wouldn't breathe it outside Of the
family, Jane, but 1 almost fear that
Marjorie is destitute of natural feel
ing. Six is positively callous!"

Western Lines Near an Open Break
With Postoffics Department.

Western Lines Near an Open Break
With Postoffice Department.
Chicago, Aug. 1-Western railroads
are near an open break with the post
Office department over the transporto-
ton of the mails, owing to a number
OF recent orders. The latest cause of
grievance is the imposition of heavy
fines on nearly all the roads for delay
in delivering mails. To consider the
situation a numter of railroad officials
have held an important conference
here. One official stated that the fines
levied by the government against his
road in one quarter amounted to $4O,.
600. A similar condition on other
roads was reported.
The fines were assessed under q rule
which went into effect in July, 1905.
The roads are amazed to find that they
are in danger Of losing 10 per cent Of
their mail pay unless they revise the
schedules and place their mail trains
upon running time which they know
they can maintain in all seasons and
in all kinds of weather.

REPORT IN FAVOR OF
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

New York, Aug. 1.-The National
Civic Federation's special committee,
which for some months conducted an
investigation of public ownership and
operation, has made public its final
report. It is sweepingly in favor OF
public ownership of the public utili-
ties.
The report is made after a most
thorough Investigation Of municipal
and private ownership Of gas, electric
light, water and street railroad plants
both in the United States and Europe.
The Importance of the findings of
the committee is increased by the fact
that more representative committee
than that selected for the purpose and
which makes the report could hardly
be found. It Is made up OF represent
atives of business interests, labor lead
ers, college professors and journalists.

RAILROADS Will YIELD
TO POWER OF STATE

Raleigh, N. c., July 29.-The state
of North Carolina has won it's fight to
have its passenger rate of IA cents
observed by all the railroads pending
an appeal to the courts by the roads
of the state which propose to fight the
law.
The promise of obedience to the law
by the Southern Railway and the At
lantic Coast Line Railway, which,
since July /, the date set for putting
the rate law into effect, have been vio-
lating the law, was given yesterday
afternoon at conference Of the rail-
road officials with Gov. Glenn, who
had stated that as precedent to any
agreement he might make the AZ cent
rate must first be put into effect. The
conference was private.
Gov. Glenn last night gave out the
following statement to the press re-
garding the outcome of the contro-
versy:
''The governor considers the victory
in the matter of the state against the
railroads as one of state rights. The
governor feels that it. is a great step
forward for states rights and that if
all the other states in the United
States will continue the fight already
begun in North Carolina and insist on
their senators and representatives in
congress trying to curtail the growing
power Of the federal courts, in future
there will be no trouble to control and
direct railroads and other corpora
tons"

Watery Eyes.-Relief may be obtain
ed by bathing the eyes several times a
day with a wash consisting of ten
grains of pure borax and two ounces
Of camphOr water.
Rheumatic Knee.-Try salicylate of
soda, five drains; tincture of nux vom-
lea, three drains, and essence Of pepsin
enough to make four ounces. The dose
for an adult is one teaspoonful every
two or three hours.
Superf1uous Hair.-A growth Of hair
is annoying to a girl who wears short
sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and
electrolysis, the only sure cure, is an
expensive treatment. To minimize the
trouble dark hairs may be bleached.
Wash the arms with weak solution of
ammonia and water. Then pour lit
tie peroxide of hydrogen in the water
and apply with a piece Of linen. The
bleaching process will have to be re-
peated from time to time, but peroxide
is harmless to the skin.
Nasal Catarrh.-In the treatment Of
this persistent and often intractable dis
order, good results have been obtained
by the internal administration five or
six times each day of one-half teaspoon
full doses in one-half ounce of water of
a mixture Of one ounce of specific echln-
acea and two ounces of stillingia. The
latter intensifies the action of echina-
cea in it's influence upon the mucous
surfaces. Tincture Of gelsemium, two
drops every hour during the day, push
ed to a physiological point, will abort a
catarrhal cold. Three grains OF salicy-
late of strontium, added to each dose,
reinforces it if rheumatism is suspected.
Neuralgia.-If the neuralgia is in the
right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in basin of water as
hot as can be born; or If neuralgia Is
in the left side of the face, then the
right hand should be placed in the not
water. It is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained in less than five
minutes. The two nerves which nave
the greatest number of tactile endlngs
are the fifth and the medium nerve.
As the flbers Of these two nerves cross
any impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side Of the face,
or If applied to the right hand Will
affect the left side Of the face. This
,s on account Of the crossing OF the
cords.

POLITE DISSENT.
S$&$$$&$$

Like most provincial people, the Bra
zilians are inquisitive, but their ma
tive politeness will not allow them to
receive any reply otherwise than with
thanks When DR.. George Gardner was
travelling in the interior Of that coun-
try. he was detained for some days
by illness on an island In one Of the
large islands of northern Brazil. He
found these remote people curious to
learn about the outside world, but
little incredulous Of his accounts Of the
triumphs of civilization.
Until I gained sufficient strength to
leave the island, l spent much OF my
time under the shade of tree, either
listening to the conversation Of the
people or answering the thousand and
one questions put by them respecting
NV own and other distant countries.
These questions were often sufficiently
ridiculous. and l could often perceive
that my answers were considered
stretches of the long bow, although they
were too polite to say so. Not only was
It among the poor islanders OF San
PEDRO that observed this to be the
case but the same effects occurred
among those who were considered well
educated.
remember once to have been con-
versing with the president Of one Of
the inland provinces about steam navi-
cation. and on my telling him that
many Of the English steamboats, were
NOW, entirely constructed Of iron, he
aid not say that he did not believe me.
INIT he simply remarked that 'fn Bra
Ill when iron was put into the water
It always sank."

Bellingham, July 27.-Cedar logs
are scarce, according to the report OF
the mill men on the bay and are
bringing from 81 to 50 a thousand
more than few weeks ago. The only
cause given for the scarcity is that
part of the logging camps have been
closed for the summer and the mills
have been cutting more cedar than u.s.
ual. The surplus supply is said to be
low.

Fruit Growing in the Kennewick Valley.
Paper Prepared by Henry Dpme for the State Horticultural Society
and Read Before That Body by James A. Rose

mature to perfection as fully >,>u
onstrated by several growers. ~
Small fruits aud vegetables, such
as strawberries, "a pberries, black
berries an aspa, sgus, for The same
reason, extreme earliness, have
proven to be extraordinarily profit
able crops and are rai-ed in qusntl-
ties and quality indispensable
A few statements on the princi-
pal fruit crop of the valley that are
at present Ill bearing will give a
more adequate idea CT the market
va ue of the climatic cohditi JUS
VIII ch exist here.
Chas. Conway, from three acres
of Clark Seeding stra xberries
planned April 10, 1905, realized
5000. 90 from the patch the follow
ing season. this being about an
average of the berry crop for 1906,
which was very unfavorable sea-
son on account Of The cold snap in
March, which caught the berry
crop IN an advanced stage.
w. S. Haxton, from his vineyard
OF Black Hamburg, Malaga, Mus
cat and Flame rokay realized from
Two Dollais to Two Dollars and
S veniy Five ceuts per vine. and
conn ing 600 vines to the acre,
gives HIM a profit of approximate
ly $500 per acre. His three year
old Alberta peach orchard bore 4 to
7 boxes of magnificent peaches to
the tree, which netted HIM s. per
per box. Counting 100 trees to
acre, the returns ON this young or
chard would be in the ne ghbor-
hood Of $500 per acre.
H. Delepine. on his three year
old asparagus plantation received
net returns at the rate of $500 per
acre, this being far from the full;
bearing capacity of the crop which
will not be attained for several
years Average price received dur
Ing 90 days cutting being 81 90 per
box, market opening March goth
at So rs per box. With such pro.
6taDle crops grown IN the short
time the valley has been under cul-
tivati'n. and with the "a 900 acres
to be planned. which is rapidly be-
ing accomplished, 10000 fruit
trees having been already plat d
500 acres planted to straw berries
anu probably 100 aces to g.apes,
the future of the Kennewick Val
ley as one of the principal fruit
growing districts of the Northwest
is assured.
