Inspection Ruins Plants.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 1.-Horticul-
turists of Vancouver, Victoria and vi
entity are SO thoroughly indignant at
the way they have been treated by
provincial government officials that
they are getting up a signed protest to
the department at Ottawa to protest
against what they allege is wanton de-
struction of nursery stock consigned to
them from outside points.
AL ornamental nursery and green
house stock entering this province has
to be inspected and fumigated to guard
against pests which may infect the
plants. The compliments allege that
after this fumigation has taken place
the plants are passed to the provincial
department, which detains them for
some time, often so long that hundreds
of dollars worth of stock rots. ia

RATES ARE SUSTAINED.



Railroad Commission.
Portland. Sept. 20. Laws establish
;ua the Oregon State Railroad com.
mission and the schedule OF rs'lrosu
xssss established by that body, were
declared valid In decision handed
down Yesterday morning by Judge
wolverton. of the Federal court.
One important result of this decision
will be to force the Oregon railroad q
Navigation company to refund about
"a neI cent of the money the company
has collected while the case decided
Yesterday before Judge Wolverton has
been pending, since May rs, 1908. for
freight carried between Oregon sta-
tions.
Judge Wolverton's decision was IN
The form of an order dissolving the
temporary injunction granted the Ore
con Railroad & Navigation company
preventing the commission from enforc-
inc it's schedule of rates within the
limits of the state. The restraining
order was requested on the assertion
by the company that the Railroad com
mission was organized in violation OF
the state constitution and that the
rates established by it would influence
interstate commerce illegally.
1t has been charged by the company
that the penalties provided by the
State Railroad commission were exor-
bitant, but Judge Wolverton did not
agree with this statement. He had
compared the penalties in question
with those in other traffic laws and
was unable to find that the Oregon
penalties were unjust.

HUDsoN-FULTON PARADE.
Great Floats Pass in Review Before
More Than 100000.

Great Floats Pass in Review Before
More Than 100000.
New York, Sept. 29.-American his
tory in visible form passed in review
today before the eyes of more than
/, 100000 spectators that lined the
route of the first Hudson Fulton land
pageant from the upper end of Central
park to Washington square. Thou
sands Of dollars and months of effort
were spent to make this parade of Sd
floats an accurate reproduction of the
life in New York state from legendary
Indian times that preceded the first
settlement to the first voyage of Cler
mont in 1907.
The line of parade had to be selected
with great care because of the great
size of the floats, which are said to be
the largest and most elaborate ever
exhibited. They vary in dimensions
from 20 to 40 feet high, 80 feet long
and IA feet wide. They could not pass
under the elevated railroad, and even
the electric decorations of the court
of honor and reviewing stand on Fifth
avenue, opposite the new public libra
ry, had to be changed at the last mo-
ment to accommodate them.
Nearly 10000 men, women and
children, most of them in costume,
representing every national and patri-
otto society in the city, posed as his
toric personages on these floats or
marched between or beside them. The
cost of the whole spectacle was $780,
600.
On every available spot along the
five mile line of march stands had been
erected for spectators and the sums
paid for seats varied from 81 to SIS.

| Washington, Oct. /. - Forty-tive
thousand enumerators out Of the esti-
mated grand total Of 65, will be
engaged April 18th next gathering in
the required information concerning
agriculture for the Thirteenth Decen-
NAL u. s. census. Director Durand
purposes making every effort to secure
progressive farmers and crop reporters

upon the recommendations Of Chief
Statistician LeGrand Powers and the
advisory board Of special agents COM
posed Of professors Of economics and
farm experts who have been assisting
In the formulation Of the schedule of
inquiries concerning farm operation
and equipment. 1t 10 believed that the
selection Of this class OF men already
familiar with statistical methods of

prehendible form, will add greatly to
efficiency Of the census and to the sci
entific value Of the information OBJ
tanned. Director Durand does not an
ticipate any difficulty in procuring
enumerators Of this kind. as there are
In every state Of the Union hundreds
OF crop reporters acting for the depart
ment Of agriculture, representatives of
state boards of agriculture, etc.
The agricultural schedule which is
to be placed in the hands of these
enumerators is nearing completion by
the census bureau. The advisory
board, who are acquainted with prac-
tical agriculture, it's varying condi-
tions, and who are active in their re-
spective states in assisting the farm
ers to improve their farm methods,
have been most earnest and no effort
10 being spared to make the schedule
as simple as possible, and yet secure
the greatest amount of important in
formation concerning agriculture.
There will be but one schedule for
agriculture. There may be small
schedule for the enumeration of ami
mails in cities. This will be carried by
the city enumerators and it will cover
horses, mich cows, chickens, ETC.,
housed in barns, stables, etc., In the
cities. No attempt will be made to get
the area of city gardens or vacant lot
cultivation.

EASTERN CANAL Is

 MILES IN LENGTH. Seventy-five Head of Stock Are Now At Work. Over h,IIe and
 Half Completed.

The Eastern canal, the new water way running parallel with the old Highland, or approximately so until point near the P x F. railroad crossing, is, according to Engineer s. K. Baker, about 121a per cent com pleted. The entire length of the canal according to the final survey is nine teen and three-fourths miles.
 Tom Smith, who has a force of men at work on the head, has about three-fourths of a mile completed, while the contractors Kinney and Ryan, who are working on the Mesa have about the same amount. Of course each contractor has a cOnsid- erably greater amount of work opened up, but there is only about one and One-half miles of work completed up to the present time. There is about seventyfive head of stock being used between the two contractors.
 Hill X Jesse, who are working on two-mile contract on either side of the Roosevelt road have about two thousand feet of work opened up, but have little if any work completed. The right of way is being cleared up on the south side of the Roosevelt road, as the excavation work has all been done on the north side of the road.
