up to hearing the reports of commit.
tees and discussing the ways and
means Of increasing the range of mis-
sionary activities. This proved by far
the most vexing question which had
come UP, as the field is growing
and expanding faster than the church
can take care of it.
Rev. Norman F. Marshall, of Carls-
bad, told of the wonderful develop.
ment In the Pecos valley and Of the
need Of additional missionaries there
He did not think he could spread out
over any more territory than he was
now covering which includes Carls.
bad, Lakewood and Florence, but he
insisted that there we're communities
in the Pecos valley which should be
given attention. Similar conditions
were reported in other parts Of the
territory notably on the Santa Fe
Central and the Belen Cutoff.
Bishop ]. M. Kendrick announced
that he was going to make his head.
quarters this summer at Santa Fe
and he would try to reach as many OF
these settlements as was possible
The pastors at Las Vegas and Albu
querQue volunteered also to make
Sunday trips into the communities
without regular pastor whenever
they could.
In the afternoon there was a dis
cussion of Sunday school methods
and last night Rev. Jesse s. Moore
OF Las Vegas, preached. After the
sermon reception was rendered the

TO DRAFT ANOTHER
CURRENCY BILL
Conference Committee Working On a
Substitute Measure For Those
Already Introduced.

Washington, May 8.--The Republi.
can conference committee appointed
Wednesday to draft another report to
the conference on an emergency cur.
rency bill incorporating the principle
Iof approved commercial paper as a
basis for currency issue, yesterday
began the consideration of a measure
and through Its chairman, Representa-.
tive Vreeland and it's secretary, Repre-
sentative Knowland, sent to each Re.
publican member of the House letters
asking suggestions and advice.
AS two members OF the committee
were absent today, Representative
Weeks and Representative Knowland,
there will not be another meeting un.
| til tomorrow. Chairman Vreeland does
not expect the committee to perfect
the ordered bill earlier than Monday.
Representative Prince, of Illinois, a
member OF the banking and currency
commission, and one Of the leaders
of the Republican insurgency on the
currency question, yesterday in an in.
terview, said:
IF the conference committee pre-.
sents to the conference next Monday
night a genuine bill. and the confer.
ence adopts it and orders it referred
to the banking and currency commit.
tee, with instructions to report to the
House, that instruction will be
promptly obeyed by the banking com.
mittee, irrespective of the incorpora.

If, however, the conference com.
mittee merely reports as bill the
title Of the Aldrich bill-that is to
say, reports the Senate bill %, with
all after the enacting clause stricken
out, and it is adopted by the confer
ence and sent to the banking and cur
rency committee with instructions to
report, that instruction will not be
obeyed. The Republicans do not want
the Aldrich bill; the Democrats do not
want it; the people do not want It,
and the banking and currency COM
mittee will be party to no attempt,
open or covered, on the part of the Re.

Efforts to Save Vessel Frus-

New York, May S-Seventy-two men
who for more than twenty-four hours
had been facing almost certain death
in q raging sea near Fire Island were
rescued from the hulk of the big Ger
man ship Peter Rickmers early to.
day. Their rescue was effected after
one of the most trying experiences the
life savers of this coast were ever
called up to help No less than doz-
en- times hope of saving the men on
the doomed ship had all but been
abandoned and it was only the cas-
ing Of the gale and the terrific sea
that made their rescue possible. For.

believed that none will suffer perman

The great steel ship. one of the fin

completely torn off by the waves, her
masts ripped out, her deck houses and
bridge swept away and she is full OF
water. 1t Is unlikely that even an ef
fort will be made to tow her into dcer
water again.
The Rickmers struck ON sand bar
ten miles from Fire Island on April
30. At first it was thought she could
be floated without difficulty but the
gale continued and drove her farth
er and farther on the bar until it was
seen it would be impossible to pull
her off. Then an effort was begun te
save her crew and this was accom-
pllshed with great difficulty early this
morning.

WHEN TO APPLY MANURE

A series OF rather careful expert
ments by the Massachusetts station in
applying manureindicates that on fairly
level land there is not much loss when
manure is applied late in the fall or
during the winter. The double hand
ling OF manure where it is hauled on
the land, dumped in small piles and
then spread in the spring. costs more
than the loss amounts to where it is
spread directly at the first hauling.
These results have agreed substantially
for several years.
When manure has been spread during
winter the loss has been greater when
there was wash over the frozen
ground, but in a dry winter and when
the ground is covered with snow there
is very little loss. On very steep fields
it is recommended to keep abe manure
under cover until spring, although,
actual tests do not show any great loss
if spread On such fields. These tests
we're made on fall plowed land. 1t is
believed the loss would have been
sOmewha. greater on sod ground.

HOW TO PACK FRUIT
FOR THE MARKET
Instructions From a Leading
Commission Man

At meeting of the Chclan
County Horticultural Association
held in Wenatchec recently, J. a.
Prairie of the California Commits
sion company, of Seattle, gave the
members present a very interesting
talk on packing fruit, and We pub
lish his remarks on the subject in
full below, for the benefit of our
readers, and we would advise all
readers to preserve it and follow his
instructions in fruit season:
We wish to point out few
facts which will be beneficial to
shippers in general. Our object in
so doing is to have fruit properly
graded and packed to secure a uni
form pack III all sections. If ship
pers do this they will be able to
obtain better prices for their fruit
Apples. In packing apples the
litter stock should be marked
litter on the end of the box, and
Sitter stock marked Sitter upon
the end of the box. If the box is
packed alter by Sitter it should be
so marked. As near as possible.
the variety of the apples should
also be plainly marked upon the
end of the box. The sides of the
box should be of one piece and the
top and bottom of two pieces each.
and they want to be thinner than
the sides or ends. In using cleats
the top wants to be about $40 of
an inch thick. In making the
boxes the sides should be put on
first and then put on the top with
cleat over before the top is nailed.
I The box is now ready for packing.
The first layer packed will be the
top row and last packed will be tn
bottom of the box when the box is
opened. The box should be well
filled 50 that the top and bottom
will bulge a triflc. The boxes
when stacked are packed Oh their
sides. This will not bruise the APP
pie, but if they are stacked top and
bottom, they will bruise. The
end of the boxes should be made
smooth, without any holes or han
dies cut i'll them. The holes are a
detrimemt to the apple when it is
handled. There is no other section
outside of your district where they
have holes cut III the ends of the
boxes.
PEARS Packing pears is Just
the reverse of packing apples.
When the box is made the bottom
and sides are put OH first and the
material wants to be as thin as pos
sible for the tops and bottoms so
that when the box is we'll filled
they will bulge slightly. The
pears should be graded and the
large ones packed by themselves
and the small ones by themselves.
In packing start from the bottom
and lay them fiat and break joints
and do not pack them one on top
of another. BY doing this you can
get more tiers in box. In your
district a great many have been
packing pears 4 tiers, when they
should have been tier, and 3 tier
when they should have been 4 tier.
If you do not get the proper NUM-
Der of tiers and pears in the box
you cannot command an equal price
with packers who pack their fruit
heavily.

WISCONSIN has two republican
tickets in the field for state Offices
and two sets of delegates to the
national convention-the Taftites

mony for you. Let EN- go to it,
the more the merrier.
In our issue of April 7, we stat
ed that the property values were to
be increased from 90 to 80 per cent
over previous years. The idea we
were trying to convey was that
property assessed last year at so
per cent of its cash value is to be
assessed at 80 per cent of it's cash
value this year. That is the way
we had it from a county official, but
Commissioner Burch informs us
that J. +. Frost, stated that all
property should be assessed at 60 per
cent of it's cash value. We have
no desire to pervent the truth or
appear to be misleading, hence we
make this correction in the interest
of justice to all.
