caught out Of a thousand streams in
all parts of the country where 1t now
is to be found in but one, and that
a most remote brook, says a Wash
ington item. This rare fish has been
named the Roosevelt golden trout
(salmo Rooseveltii Evermann), be-
cause of President Roosevelts effort
to preserve it from threatened ex-
tinction.
The Roosevelt golden trout at pres
ent is the product solely of Volcano
creek, a turbulent watercourse Of Is
miles in length on the slopes OF
Mount Whitney California. Two
years ago some of President Roose-
velt's friends in California appealed
to him to save from determination
this beautiful fish. Until by presl-
Dental proclamation Mount Whitney
was made a government forest re-
serve anglers in large numbers visited
the section and preyed upon the
Roosevelt golden trout.
Responding to the appeals in be-
half of the fish which subsequently
was named for him President Roose'
welt took up the matter with the Uni
ted States fish commission. After re-
peated efforts the commission OBJ
tanned number of the trout, which
were sent to the fish cultural stations
at Bozeman, Mont, and Leadville
Col, for propagation.
Encouraging news has been receiv'
ed from these stations to the effect
that sufficient quantity of eggs hai
been obtained for Matching to stock
streams in different parts of the
country.

HOOD RIVER WILL TEACH
HOW TO PACK APPLES

Hood River comes forward with
another original stunt in the fruit
business, says the Hood River News
Letter. Beginning with the 14th Of
September and continuing for a pc
riod of one week, the Hood River
Apple Growers union will open a
school in which will be taught the SCI
ence of apple packing.
The union has concluded to use
its spacious warerooms on railroad
row for the purpose of training all
thse who desire to learn the art Of
packing apples for the commercial
trade according to the Hood River
standard. There are several differ
ent styles OF pack to learn; and one
must also be exact on color and size.
With these essentials we'll learned,
the matter OF rapldity will soon de-
velop itself.
The apple growers are asked to
furnish windfalls and culls for the
purpose OF demonstration in the
school; and the union will provide
the expert packers to impart the ne
cessary instructions to the student
packers.
All who desire to be taught the APP
pie packing business for this falls
rush will report to Manager Huxley
and be on hand promptly at the date
specified. There will be no expense
to the student other than his board
and lodging while in the city.
The matter Of packing the apple
crop in Hood River valley is becom-
ing to be a proposition of colossal
proportions. In a year or two II will
require a small army Of men, women
and children to harvest the rosaceou'

FOR HIGHER CRITICISM.
Big Scrap Promised in Divinity Meet
ing at Ottawa.

ottawa, Ont, Aug. 27.-A lively de-
bate between the conservatives and
radicals Of the Church of England in
Canada will likely be precipitated at
the session of the general synod to be
held here next month.
For some time there has been much
opposition among the more orthodox
churchmen to some of the advanced
teachings of clergymen and college
professors.
In order that the matter may be
threshed out by the synod, the Rev
DR.. Langtry has introduced motion
attacking the conclusions Of whai
is known as the higher criticism
The "hlgher critics" and modern
lists" within the church will likely op'
pose the adoption Of such a motion
and a verbal warfare may result.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Dec.
13.-The Dutch cruiser Glederland came
into this port this morning towing the
Venezuelan coast guardship Alix, with
the Dutch flag flying, and a Dutch
crew on board. The Gelderland cap
tured the Alix off Puerto Cabello Sat
urday. At the time the Alix was lying
close in-sh0re and, Notwithstanding the
threat which the Venezuelan govern
ment had made to fire upon any of the
Dutch warships committing hostile
act, the Gelderland steamed at top
speed toward the guard ship and sent
an officer and guard in a launch to
seize ner This they did without resist
nee, and no shot came from the forts
on land.
The crew of the AliX was put ashore
and the Dutch officer and marines re-
manned on board. The Gelderland final
ly took the Alix in tow and steamed
away with her as a prize.
The seizure of the AliX was in ac-
cordance with the plans of The Meth
erlands government when instructions
were issued to three Dutch Warships
now in these waters, to make a demon
stratior off the coast of Venezuela and
to capture any Venezuelan ships of
war or guard vessels that they might
find.
The arrival of the Gelderland at
Willemstad this morning was greeted
with unbounded enthusiasm by those
who noticed the cruisers approach, and
soon the entire populace were down at
the waters edge to welcome the war
ship towing the first of the enemy's
ships, as though from a great con
quest.
Naturally. the people of Curacao who
have long been clamoring for activity
bv the Dutch government, are greatly
rcjoiced over this evidence that Hol-
land has at last begun active measures
against Venezuela, but the governor of

Ser. Strauss Order Cutting
Down Barge Tows' Size
Expected TO Make Demand For
More Sailing Graft.
Maine Yards Expect a Call For
Light Draft Schooners.

Boston, Dec. 13.-Opinion is divided
in New England shipping interests
over the recent order of Sec. Strauss
OF the department of commerce and la
Dor regulating the towing of barges in
inland waters. Neither ship owners nor
bargemen look upon the new order as
at all settling the long controversy
over the best method of transporting
by water merchandise in bulk On the
other hand the cutting down of the
length of the tows and decreasing the
number of barges, is regarded by
steamship mariners with favor is
hailed by the shipbuilding interests Of
Maine as indicating revival of bust
ness, especially in smaller vessels and
with satisfaction by ship chambers as
return to the Quitting conditions for
sailing vessels, which made their trade
SO profitable in former years
The barge line owners claim that
limiting the number of vessels in
tow to three will necessitate additional
expense in building larger barges,
which being unable to enter the small
bavs and streams will mean rise In
the price of fuel to the consumer. The
bargemen also look upon tina part of
the order decreasing the length of the
tow line to rs fathoms between the
barges as dangerous, especially in
heavy weather.
on the other hand the shipping in
terests are strong in the opinion that
the order is not sufficiently radical as
it fails to deal with the long distance
towing from the Chesapeake and Della
ware capes to Northern waters.
In this city about two-thirds of the
coal Is brought in barges, all the hard
coal being transported in these vessels.
while there is great rivalry between
the big five and siX-masters and the
barges in the soft coal trade from
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk.
The barges have practically driven
the schooners from the coal carrying
trade in Narragansett bay, but east
of this port much of the coal continues
to be transported in sailing vessels,

The authorities feel sure that it was
case of murder. 1t seems that two
men were walking together, quarreled,
one made way with the other and left
the body on the track to give it the
appearance of an accident and then
made good his escape
The affair must have happened early
in the night for the body had frozen
solid, that being shown by the fact
that one arm was found so firmly
driven into and wedged into the west
switch that it had to be chopped out
with Ratchet. Had the body been
warm or soon after death, this could
hardly have occurred.
An extra freight from Waterville to
Portland went through here about II

thought must have been the train that
picked up the body.

Boom In Cheap Stocks
Makes Traders Chary.
MAY Be elimination Of Long
Speculative Campaign.
Anticipating Possible Call Of Loans,
Operators Get From Under.

New York, Dec 1S-An upward ten
dency of prices of securities was plain
lv observable in the stock market
moveme MT last week, although the I'M
even and at times irregular action
caused some confusion in the tone. The
week was notable for the large num-
Der and variety Of low-priced stocks
which advanced suddenly and without
clear explanation. This feature was the
ground for some expressed suspicion of
the speculative position, the more so
because many of the high grade stocks
which have absorbed most attention for
a long time and which are better rep
resentatlves of general conditions were
almost immovable.
The normal course of prolonged
speculative campaign under skilful
conduct is a shifting from the high
grade stocks after attractive profits
have accrued in them to low priced
issues, the new advance in the latter
serving to sustain the tone of the mar
ket against selling to take profits on
previous purchases in other stocks. The
pursuit of this process reaches in time
the dress of the market and stirs up a
lot of nondescript values to be charity
handled in times of speculative indif-
ference. A movement in such Securl-
ties is accepted as warning by prac-
ticed operators of the approach to a
| elimination of speculative movement.
| In the movement now in progress IN
| the stock market last weeks emer-
| penca of some Of this distrusted class
of securities is not the first that has
occurred and the former prominence
