Peanut Trade Increasing.

Peanuts are beginning to form an
appreciable and rapidly growing item
in the foreign commerce of the United
States, especially in the import trade.
Despite the fact that the United States
produces probably 100000 bushels of
peanuts per annum, her expectations
have been in such inconsiderable guam
titles that the Bureau Of Statistics has
only recently found it necessary to in
clude peanuts in it's list of articles ex.
ported. Meantime the imports have
also rapidly increased, and the total
foreign commerce In this article In the
year about to end will aggregate nearly
$1,OOO,OOO, the imports having grown in
value from less than $4,000 in the year
1900 to about $5OO,OOO in the present
year, while exports for the year will
approximate about 100000.
West Africa and the East Indies are
the principal sources Of supply Of the
peanuts entering the international mar
kets Of the world. The exports of pea
nuts from the French colony of Sene-
gal, on the west coast of Africa, were
in the latest available year more than
23O,OO0,OO0 pounds; those Of British In
dia little less than 200,0OO,0OO; Gam
bia, on the west coast Of Africa, about
1OO,O0O,O0O; the Dutch East Indies,
about 5O,OO0,OOO, while China, Japan,
Argentine, Spain and the United States
also supply comparatively small guam
titles.

New Method of Electric Transports
tiOn Soon to Be Seen.
Americans seem rather slow in rec
ognizing the many advantages of the
trolley systems of cities and towns. In
the majority of the foreign countries,
both city and suburban, trolley roads
have been utilized for many years for
transporting freight, etc. A Pennsyl-
vania man, seeing the possibilities of
trolley transportation, has designed a
vehicle which is splendidly adapted for
the purpose. AS shown in the illustra-
tion, the preferable form is along the
lines of the ordinary wagon used by
the express companies. Electrical means
are attached to the wagon, so that
power can be obtained from the over
head trolley wires and transmitted to
the driving wheels. Especially in the
larger cities. where the main streets

who recently arrived in London, after
several months spent on the continent
as member of the special immigra-
ton commission, declares himself high
ly pleased with what he has discovered
concerning the attitude of the various
countries toward emigration to the
United States and with the reception
accorded to the commission wherever it
went, says a London cable to the New
York Times.

may say that was particularly struck
by the efforts being made at every
port l visited to prevent the shipment
of undesirable persons. The strict ap-
plication Of the entrance requirements
the fines imposed by the treasury de.

rejected applicants have served good
purpose. Whenever emigrants embark,

ate sanitary precautions are taken. In
Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and
Germany, the principal ports of all of
which countries l visited, found the
arrangements almost as elaborate as at
Ellis Island for sorting over prospect

are apparently discouraging emigration.
Italy is the only exception to this rule.
The result of this Is that we are get

from southern Europe and not enough
from the north.

from which the emigrants are drawn
are remarkably well informed on what
life in America is like. There is scarce

who did not have friend or relative

know all about wages, living, etc.

prove the old tradition that only the

PopuleT ssience.


Tobacco dealers in India are greatly
troubled by a moth or fly that finds its
way into box of cigars or tobacco and
lays an egg that soon develops into
destructive worm or grub, which bores
through the wrapper into the body of
the cigar and ruins it. Hardly any
thing will keep these pests out except
to incase each cigar in a bottle or wrap
it in heavy tinfoil.
A new plague protective or rat poison
has been discovered in India. 1t con-
sits or a pasty substance inoculated
with a bacillus According to report
a rat which takes enough to cover a
pins head will not only die, but will
infect every other rat with which 1t
comes In contact. Five villages have
been selected by the government in
which to make tests of the new poison.
Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are communi-
cable is warranted" says a writer. I'm
oculation Of healthy tissue with blood
obtained from a wart will cause the
growth of similar excrescence. 1t Is
thought that these growths contain an
ultramicroscopic germ to which is due
the transmission from one person to
another. At all events, persons who
have warts should take measures to
have them removed at once"
The Renard road motor-train, con-
slsting OF motor OF 20 horsepower
and three coaches, two for passengers
and one for baggage, was exhibited at
the Olympia Motor Show in England
recently, and proved so successful that
the possibility Of the extensive use Of
such trains Is seriously discussed. Each
unit Of the Renard train has longi-
tudinal drivingshaft and gearing for
the wheels. Universal couplings con-
meet up the driving-shafts with the mo-
tor on the traction-car. The unity Of
movement established in the driving
and steering apparatus of the entire
train enables 1t to travel on the road
as easily, 1t Is asserted, as a single
motor.
1t appears that France, which a few
years ago led the world in the manu-
facture Of automobiles, is relatively
dropping back, at least in the number
of machines produced. For instance,
In 1900 France manufactured 10,039 au-
tomobiles, England 2,4S1, and Germany
2,312. In 1905 the figures for the same
countries were respectively $1,000, 81.
600 and $4,000. In the same year the
United States, beginning with few
hundred in 1902, leaped to the front,
producing $4,000 machines, 5000 more
than France. Italy and Belgium have
also made enormous strides in the last
two or three years, the figures for those
countries in 1906 being respectively
$4,000 and 10000.

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right9
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case OF catarrh, a remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu.
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.

RATTLERs AND BEAR AT PICNIC.

Boys Start War of AnnfhiIation
Among snakes-Capture Cub.
Boys at picnic at Greeley, Pa, re-
Gently had rare fun, says the New York
World. Much Of 1t was due to the fact
that there has not been such a drought
In Pike County for fifteen years. The
Delaware looks like lost river, the
beds Of the smaller streams are dry.
The picnic was held at Rattlesnake
creek, in which so little water remains
that 1t does not hide the powders on
Its bed. Every boy had putty blower,
made from a straight piece of alder,
from which the pith had been punched,
leaving a caliber big enough for bird
shot.
Soon the boys discovered a colony of
rattlesnakes preparing to cross the
.reek toward them. Every Pike County
boy who is not nature faker knows
that a rattlesnake hates to wet its rat
ties. The boys hid in the bushes and
waited. Twelve rattlesnakes were in
the approaching bunch. The biggest
started ahead to reconnoiter, the 9TH
ers waited on the bank.
The scout snake made his tortuous
way from bowlder to bowlder, and
finally his rattles, dry, reached the pic
mic grounds. He ratified a wireless "all
right" to the eleven, which crossed in
Indian file. The boys turned their
putty blowers on the snakes and fred
fast and accurate broadsides.
Maddened by the hail of shot the
snakes turned on one another, and soon
every one lay dead, killed by the venom
Of each other. The twelve snakes
combined length was sixy-five feet.
But this was not all the fun. At
luncheon the tempting odor of honey
on the sandwiches attracted a very
small cub bear from his home in a
neighboring wood to the picnic ground.
The boys fed it on bread and honey and
took home real but docile teddy bear.

BAND CONCERT ENJOYED
DESPITE GOLD WEATHER

The courthouse green presented an
animated scene at the outdoor con-
cert by the Eagles band yesterday
evening.
The lawn, the trees, and the beds
of flowers. and the staid old courthouse
itself made an admirable background
for the sOciable thrOng which crowd
ed about the band stand in the south
west corner of the square.
Despite the rain of the earlier part
of the day, dainty summer attire was
much in evidence, with which was
associated a breezy, summary spirit
that made the music of the evening
doubly pleasing.
To Walla Walla musicians, the pro-
gram offered an unusual feature of
interest in view of the fact it con-
tanned a number composed by a Walla
Wallan and played before a Walla
Walla audience for the first time yes
terday. 1t was the march F. O. E
composed by Calvin Malone in honor
of w w. Aerie No. 26. 1t was hear
tily applauded.
The favOrite number with the gen
eral audience was the cOrnet solo

which was faultlessly rendered.
