"The selection of Spokane was pc
culiarly fortunate for this congress, as
it provides every opportunity for the
study of all methods of irrigating and
the various systems of irrigation prof.

pipe distribution of water and modern
electrical pumping plants.

SOURCE OF NAVAL STORES
CHANGING

Rosin and turpentine, known techni-
cally as naval stores from the fact that
for many years their principal uses
were maritime, are produced from two
species of southern pine, the long leak
and the Cuban, but it is quite probable
that a number of other species win be
employed within the mex twenty-five
years. The crop of naval stores, in.
Guiding four and a quarter million
pounds of rosin and sixteen and a quar-
ter million casks of spirits of turpen-
tine, has an approximate annual value
to those engaged in it of at least thirty
million dollars. For how many GEN.
turtles commercial use has been made of
the sap of the pine canno be determin-
ed with any degree of assurance, but
the custom was general in south France
at the time of the invasion of England
by the Spanish. For many years the
industry was confined to the south OF
France and Austria, where it still
flourishing on a small scale, and it was
not until a hundred years ago that in
telligent effort was made to estblish il
on this continent. For fifty years or so
the Carolinas and Virginia were the
chief %turpentine producing states, but
with the opening up of the pine for
ests of Georgia the scene of operations
was gradually shifted southwark, until
before very long Georgia had become
the center of the industry. At the
present time Florida is in the lead
with Georgia and Alabama a close sec
ond and third. The depletion of Flori
da's forests, however, is gradually ex
tending the turpentine area westward
and it is quite possible in twenty-five
years time Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas will be in the lead.

A new method of combining reen-
forcing and concrete in building EN-
ploys an entirely original combination
of steel tubing wire, malleable fittings
and concrete, and with the exception o.
piers the concrete is not depended upon
to carry any of the load, but is used
only as stiffener or body to the build
ing. The entire framework can be
erected before the concrete work is
started, making it possible to inspecr
the position and quality of the steel
and to erect a building in much shorter
time than is required by other methods.
No forms or. centering are required,
which is another great advantage.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has de
eided that eats should be regularly EN-
ployed in postoffiees throughout the
country. The reason for this is that
rats are doing considerable damage to
letters and the department 8 property
and that something must be done imme-
diately to exterminate the rodents. Dur
ing the present fiscal year 1880 for
ca meat will be expended by the
postofiee department. Cats, who would
like jobs with Mr.. Hitchcock, will have
to pass a civil service examination,
which will consist of showing whether
they are good rat killers or not.

TO CURTAIL TEXTILE PRODUC-
TON


A gigantic movement is in progress
throughout the leading cotton textile
districts of the world looking towards
a general curtailment of production dur
ing the remaining months of this year
and during 1910. The principal reas-
ons advanced for the movement are the
gradual increase in the cost of raw ma
terial in the southern states and in
Egypt and the failure of the dry goods
markets to respond in a way which
would assure continued profit to manu-
facturers during the mex twelve
months.
The eurtailment movement had its n
eeption in Lancashire, the greatest cot
ton goods producing district in the
world. In Lancashire the yarn spinners
have been running their mills on short
time for two months, and recently
many other English mill owens voted
to shut down two days each week un
til November /.
On September Is the Arkwright club
Of Boston, representing 100000 out
of the IL. 900. 900 spindles in New Eng
land. sent out to all the cotton mills in
the district, which is second in the in
dustry to Lancashire. forms of an
agreement for signatures for a curtad-
ment. The investigations of the exeen-
tive committee of this club convinced
it that no difficulty would be expert
enced in securing signatures represent
ing 100000 spindles.
The proposition calls for the suspen-
sion of work for 224 working hours be-
tween the date of the agreement and
August L, 1910, to become effective
when no less than 1000 900 spindles
have been signed up.
Reports from different sections of
New England indicate that the pro-
position of the Arkwright club is meet
ing with an encouraging response.
Such a curtailment, however, is not
likely to become effective in Massa-
chusetts in the immediate future, as
many of the mills that will sign an
agreement will be unable to fill present
orders without steady running until in
to January.
The Rhode Island and Fall River
manufacturers are, as a rule, willing to
curtail production, providing that they
are not called upon to fguratively
"hold the umbrella for other sections
of New England, or in other words, to
withhold goods while outside eenterz
continue to run in full.
The curtailment movement is of great
interest in New England and other
places, where the operatives have been
refused a restoration of a 10 per cent
cut in wages made in 1908. 1t is sug
gested that if the New Bedford manu-
facturers are in sympathy with the 30
day closing movement the effect of a
strike in that city would be partially
nulliied.
The eurtailment has also been taken
up by the southern cotton mill owners.
Las week the board of governors of the
American Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, at a meeting in Charlotte, \.
c., adopted resolutions setting forth
their claim that the present disparity
between the price of cotton and cotton
goods preeludes the possibility of the
successful operation of southern mills,
A committee was appointed to forum
late a curtailment agreement.

SCRAP IRON IS NEEDED

Progress on the work Of manufact-
uring steel at the Indiana Steel com
pany has been slow of late owing to
the fact that scrap iron which is one
OF the ingredients in the manufacture
of steel was not available at the open
hearth furnaces where the steel is
made. This condition is said to have
existed for two or three days past and
the material for the rail mill to work
with has been greatly reduced in con-
sequence.
The rail mills are now working on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
order which will take three or four
days to complete. The mill is being
run to about half of it's capacity Of
1000 tons a day and if orders begin
to come in still faster as conditions
promise it may before very long be
operated at its full capacity.

MEETS WITH
PAINFUL
ACCIDENT

The little ten year old son of F. A
Shaw, chief clerk of the Gary Heat
and Water company met with a pain
full accident at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon when he shot himself in the
hand with an air rife. Young Shaw
was hunting for frogs al the time that
the accident occurred in a slough near

Before the young huntsman had bag
ged many of the active creatures he
started to reload for a fresh assault
when the gun was discharged and the
large shot entered the index finger on
the left hand The shot proved very
painful. lodging in the fngure near the
bone. He was taken to the office of a
physician where the shot was probed
for and removed.
At first it was believed that the shot
was the result of a premature Fourth
Of July celebration and Gary was
about to claim the first victim in the
county for the day of patriotic cele-
bration, when the frog story put the
