The steamer Harvest Queen arrived
down from Portland yesterday even
ing with hundred tons of freight
for Astoria and plenty more for way
points, especially on the Washingt IN
shore, the people there being particp-
larly glad TO get their mail. She Will
return up this morning with the San
Buenaventura and the Alvena on her
hawsers; and the Alice Mcdonald
would have been in line IL she had
been hauled off the channel bank in
time.

The ocean-goers that Were tied up

broke cover in the wake Of the Geo.

the river channels to Portland. The
arrival there of such herd at one
time is liable to tax the harbor ca
pacity some but they may find room
in the willamette, without stopping

Is years ago, when tan shoes were
first introduced.
Many of the walking boots are high
-15 button, We call them, just as they
say 20-bntton gloves. The cloth-top
boot is a novelty. The suede top is
likewise new and will doubtless take
better than the cloth top because of
it's wearing qualities These novelty
tops are a shade darker in tone than
the vamp of the shoe and are matched
with fine silk or cotton or Isle hos
iery.
The new pumps are distinctive in
their trimming of the tiniest leather
bows, which take the place of last
years large fat bow of ribbon or
leather. Some models are finished
with a narrow braidlike beading edge,
while others are simply stitched
around the edge. Tips are seen, but
the plain, round pointed toe is the bet
ter style.
This model is seen in black and
colors such as represented in the
dress fabrics of the season.
Natty, shiny and dull kid button
boots are topped with cloth in black
and white striped. pattern, white
grounds with black stripes, and black
grounds with white stripes. These
are made especially to meet the de.
mand which has followed the populari.
ty of striped tailored costumes. Large
white buttons are seen on some OF
these boots, but these, being more OF
less conspicuous, are passed by in fav.
or of those with black buttons.
Aside from tan, colored shoes have
lost caste with women of refined taste
and individuality in dress, their place
being usurped by the patent. kid boot

ings calculated to rival the dress fab.
RIGS which they aim to consort with
in the summers cOstuming.
Bizarre as some of these effects
may be, they will not be conspicuous
in the wearing, for they are intended
to accompany the high walking boot,
leaving the sheer, plain Isle to the
company of the low pump or oxford.

pose. Canvas may be rendered dark
in color by mixing lampblack with the

possible tearing of the canvas at the
top of the fumigator a wire net may
be tackled on the inside of the frame
so as to prevent the limbs from COM

inches wide is securely tackled and
when the box is in place these strips
lie on the ground and may be covered
with dirt or, preferably, long sand
bags of small diameter for preventing
the escape of the gas. These strips
may be fastened up out of the way
when the fumigator is being moved.
The movable face of the box rests

about one foot above the crown Of the
plant, and bleach it. Those who use
this method claim that it gives the
asparagus better flavor.
Asparagus will do we'll in almost
any soil, but deep, black soil or sandy
loan is preferable Small vegetables
may be grown between the rows the
first two years. A sprinkling of coarse
salt over the ground once a year. is
beneficial as asparagus grows wild on
the sea coast.
The new asparagus culture for com.
mercial purposes now existing in Ger
many is entirely different from the
above, method Hundreds of acres are
grown there. The plants are set about
Is inches below the surface of the
ground and the land is plowed over
them about eight inches deep every
fall and spring.
Asparagus for winter use can be
forced to good advantage in hotbeds
or under greenhouse benches. Large
clumps of roots can be taken from the
field and transplanted. The crop is
produced chiefly from the nourishment
which is stored in the roots and the
roots are then thrown away after the
season is over.

CURED by two men fprE moving the
fumigator from one tree to another
and putting it in place was found to
average about ten minutes during the
experiments reported#S =,
The chief advantages claimed for
this fumigator may be. stated as fol-
lows: Its cubic content may be easily
and accurately computed, and, hence
the exact amount of chemicals neces-
sary for the treatment of each tree is
readily determined The same
amounts of chemicals will be use for
each tree, and the necessity of separ-
ate estimations of amounts and weigh
ings of chemicals in the field are thus
avoided. Fewer mem are required to
manipulate the fumigator than would
be necessary to handle\a tent large
enough to cover trees Of the same
size. The fumigator does not rest
upon the trees, and there is therefore
little danger of injury to buds or
of breaking small limbs. Trees which
bear some long branches may be
pruned sufficiently to admit them into
the fumigator wit hout injury. The
frame of fumigator constructed in this
manner was found to be rigid and suf-
ficiently strong, and the. whole proved
to be gas-tight. .

GIANT CRACKER WAS REAL
Lawyers Great Joke on Friends In
Court Room.

Assistant Corporation Counsel
James L. Pugh of Washington is al
ways ready to play a joke on any
cf his friends, and, according to gen
ial Lum Harper, chief assistant to
Clerk Potts, he seems to take special
delight in "deviling" him. According
to Mr.. Harper, about the worst" Mr..
Pugh ever did was some years ago,
when Judge Miller was on the bench
and Gen. Coxey's army was in town.
The court had received several let
ters stating that if the ''generar' was
sent down to the workhouse that the
courthouse would be s'dynamited."
one morning after Coxey had got
ten what Judge Miller thought was
coming to him, Mr.. Pugh came into
the lower court room with a giant
hrecracker, which looked all the
world like a "fake,' for the reason
that it was covered with advertising.
He laid it on the clerks desk. Mr..
Harper contemplated it for a moment
and as it was before the opening of
the lower court, he was smoking a
cigar. IN moment he touched the
light to the fuse and watched it burn,
while Mr.. Pugh just stepped back
and "laffed." Baliff Cole was stand
ing with his back to the desk and Mr..
Harper, not watching, when the
cracker exploded like a cannon. Of
tcers rushed into the court room,
thinking some one had been shot, and
word was brought downstairs in a
moment that Judge Miller, who had
been hearing a case from the bench,
had Jumped about six feet" 1t is
said that he thought the place was
being blown up by the friends of
Coxey, and when Mr. Harper came up
stairs new moments later to ex-
plain that it was not an anarchistic
attempt, but prank of Jim Pugh,''
ne said he felt much relieved and
hoped it would not occur again. Now
adays, if the prosecutor comes in
with a shooting cracker" Mr.. Harper
says he is going to look inside be-
fore he applies any lights to the fuse.
