Chicago, Dec. 21.-Despite the fact
that the big retail stores report that
more money is being spent this year
for holiday goods than in any previ-

MistIetoe a Menace,

Few people who know mistletoe only
as a desirable feature of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
is a parasite dangerous to the life Of
trees in the regions in which it grows
It is only a question Of time after
mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life of
the infected branches. Fortunately it
is Of slow growth. taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected it invariably ruins all trees
1t reaches. The only method Of exter-
mination is the cutting down of dis
eased trees.-Exchange.

FLOOD TO CANADA WORRIES
No Way to Check migration From
United States to North.

Washington, May Washington
officials of the departments of agricul-
ture and commerce and labor have a
sharp sense of the need of something,
no one knows just what, to stop the
flood of emigration that is flowing on
its way from the Western United
States into Canada. The administra-
tion proposes to take the matter up
seriously.
It is probably only a coincidence
that the high tide in emigration to
Canada has occurred at time when
this country is engaged in trying to
settle the the problem of a proper way
to conserve the natural resources of the
country. The sharp fact is that Can
ada is receiving thousands of Ameri-
cans every year, men who have made
good citizens at home and who will
make good citizens of the country to
the north of US.
We are getting immigrants enough
to offset the loss, but the class of in
comers is so inferior to the class of
koutgoers that the United States gains
nothing from the fact that the former
outnumber the latter.

MINNESOTA FORESTS ABLAze
Women Pray While Men Fight Fire
Militia to Rescue,

Bemidji, Mimi, May 16. - Women
and children are in Bemidji's smoke
filled churches tonight praying for rain
or some other act of nature to save
them, their husbands and fathers and
their homes from impending catastro-
phe.
Although battled desperately by
hundreds of citizens, soldiers and for
est rangers since IL o'clock this morn
ing, forest fire four miles wide is
slowly nearing Bemidji from the south.
Christopher c. Andrews Minnesota
state forestry commissioner, arrived
here from Walker, Mimi, this morn
ing and is now at the scene of the fire.
The citizens of the city, convoked by
the mayor, addressed an appeal to
Governor Eherhardt at noon.
The governor at once, by telegraph,
appointed Commissioned Andrews COM
mander of all militiamen in Northern
Minnesota, and Major H. T. v. Eva is
on his way here from Duluth. Com
missioner Andrews Immediately or
dered Company |, Minnesota National
Guard, from Crookston. Company H,
of Bemidji, went early to the scene un-
der their own command.
The two big Weyerhaeuser and Shev-
lin Carpenter Lumber companies
camps and timber holdings are. located
there, and immense stores of lumber
and poles are situated directly in the
path of the flames on the southern out
skirts of the town.
The mills closed down at noon and
both day and night crews were ordered
to the yards, where they are wetting
down the lumber and trying to quench
the flaming brands borne on the high
wind into the lumber piles and to the
central business distcict.
Increasing volumes of smoke have
been pouring into the town all day,
and tonight it is nearly suffocating.
In the churches it is impossible to see
the lighted pulpits from the rear.
The poorer residents of the city, To-
Gated adjoining the big sawmills, are
running panic-stricken through the
murky streets. Should the small fires,
ignited by the brands in the lumber
yards, escape control of the fighters,
they would destroy the whole city.
The fire originated about seven miles
south of Bemidji, in the heart of an
unpopulated forest. 1t has been
smouldering in the muskeg soils.

Morgan.s Car Demolished.

Spokane, Wash, May 16.-Private
car No. All of Superintendent Nor
gan, of the Marcus division of the
Great Northern, had a narrow escape
from being completely demolished in
the yards at Oroville this morning. A
SO-ton gondola, loaded with coal, was
being hauled up the coal chute when
the cable broke just as the car reached
the top. The runaway dashed down
the incline, broke the sidetrack switch
and struck Mr.. Morgan's car standing
a few hundred yards down the main
line. A warning saved theoccupants.

INDIANS IN REVOLT.
New Mexico Redskins Destroy Prop
cry and Steal Stock.

East Las Vegas, May 14.-An upris-
ing of serious proportions has broken
out among the Taos Pueblo Indians at
their village, 70 miles northwest of
here, and tonight troops are being
hurried by special train from Santa Fe
to check possible massacre of white
ranchers.
The Indians have cut all telephone
and telegraph wires from Taos, but re-
ports here indicate the depredations so
far have been confined to an attack on
the wife and children of L. S. Meyers,
homesteader, and the cutting of
fences and looting Of horses and cattle.
Further attacks are expected by the
ranchers and Judge John R. McFie,
conducting court at Taos, telegraphed
an urgent demand for troops to go
there. The government Immediately
ordered so men of companies D and F,
New Mexico National guard, to Taos.
The militiamen will arrive at Taos to-
morrow forenoon.

GREATEST FRUIT CROP.
Freewater Berry Season on and 1000
Pickers Wanted.

Freewater-Th strawberry season
of the Milton -Freewater country began
this week, several crates having al
ready been shipped. The growers re-
ceived $40 per crate. Inside of two
weeks the season will be at its height,
and ranchers are coming to town every
day looking for help. In interviews
with different fruit growers, whether
their acreage be large or small, each
one predicts crop exceeding by so
per cent any other eyer harvested in
the Walla Walla valley. And in the
same predictionjOf SUCH a mammoth
crop comes the cry for men, women
and children to- help harvest the fruit.
1t is estimated that,about ], 900 pickers
are wanted for the next two or three
months and excellent wages are held
out as, an inducement for them to come.
Two years ago rs cents per crate was
paid for picking strawberries and this
year 35 cents is. offered. There have
been no late frosts this year. Last
year practically all the peaches were
destroyed. This year the trees are
overladen,, as is also the case with the
cherry and prune trees. These crops
will average 25 per cent more than any
other ever harvested in the valley. The
fruit growers are searching and adver-
tising everywhere for help and great
fear is felt that great loss will be
sustained because Of the lack of help.
j. N. Stone, of Milton, has been
sent out by the union to find markets
for the fruit. He expects to be in and
around Spokane for several weeks, af-
ter which he will go to the Middle
West. N. w. Mumford is also on the
road securing markets and although
the crop is so very large, the prices
keep good. Manager Lamb states that
prunes will average $50 a ton.

AVAR|CE IS RULER.
London TPaffiCs In Points Of Van-
tage on Route Of Funeral.
Police Busy Guarding Paa se-ArtilIery
Rehearse Program-NavY Will
Have Prominent Place.

London, May 1.-THE whole court
and all London are absorbed in the
preparations for the funeral of King
Edward, which will be the most impos-
ing ceremonial the British capital ever
has witnessed. Thirty thousand sol
diers will be brought from Aldershot
and other military camps to line the
streets Friday when the procession
passes.
AS there is no room to embarrack
the soldiers over night they will BIZ
vouac in the parks and streets. The
city will have the appearance of an in
vested town for two days.
1t is expected that 100000 persons
will pass through Westminster Hall to
look upon the coffin. Barriers are be-
ing built by means of which the people
will be ushered through in four lines
at the rate of $4,000 an hour. The
body of the late king will not be ex-
posed to view. The mourners will see
only the coffin with the official regalia
and heaps of flowers.
The flowers contributed by organi-
cations and individuals will represent
many thousands of dollars in value.
The most elaborate wreath was sent
from Windsor, consisting of costly
white flowers, interviewer with pur-
pie, which is the royal mourning color.
The wreaths contributed by private in
dividuals, numbering thousands, will
be hung on posts in the streets.
The artillery horses, with gun car
riages, were rehearsing today through
the streets along the line of march, so
as to avoid the possibility Of m'shap
on Friday.
Fabulous prices are being asked for
seats in the stands along the line, $25
being the lowest sum at which it is
possible to get place. The household
ers overlooking Trafalgar square
have sent protest to the lord cham
berlain for again changing the line of
march, which deprives them of eagerly
expected profits.
King George having been closely
identified with the navy, the naval con-
tingents will take prominent part in
the ceremonies. Bluejackets will
draw the gun carriage to Windsor, as
they did the carriage which bore the
body of Victoria, although on that oc-
casion they did so because the horses
became restive.
Soldiers from the kings company,
grenadier guards, are keeping sentry
watch over the body in the throneroom
at Buckingham palace. They are re-
lieved each hour.
Scotland Yard has all its detectives
on duty and these are reinforced by
100 more from Continental cities.

INDIANS READY TO YIELD.
Taos Uprising Already Over-WiIl
Surrend to Troops.

Santa Fe., N. M, May 1.-THE
threatened uprising of the Taos Pueblo
Indians at Taos, N. M, appears to be
at an end. Governor Mills today said
the national guard sent to Taos last
night has been ordered to return.
United States Attorney Wilson tele-
graphed from Taos this morning that
the renegade Indians have volunteered
to surrender themselves on the bench
warrants which they have been resist
ing. He added that the trouble had
been greatly exaggerated.
A regular troop of Cavalry, with
Captain Mccoy in command, from Fort
Wingate, arrived here tonight to take
special train for Barranca, whence it
will ride overland to Taos, unless or
dered back by the War department.
1t probably will be necessary for the
troops to serve the bench warrants and
make the arrests, but no bloodshed is
feared, as the Indians, who including
women and children number only 300,
stand in awe of the military.

Chase Horsethief in RELAYS.

Chicago, May IA 19year-old
horse thief was captured by the Wau-
kegan police this afternoon after 20
mile chase that lasted more than four
hours and during which the police used
three relays of horses and an automo-
bile. Volleys of shots at the opening of
the chase and interruptions of parties
on pleasure drives that their fresh
horses might be exchanged for tired
animals driven by the police added ex
citing incidents to the flight. The po-
lice finally captured the thief by the
used of an automobile.

Build Railroad out of MoIaIIa.

Oregon City.At meeting at Mo-
lalla conducted by j. S. Talbot, rail
road promoter, enough money was
raised to commence the preliminary
surrey for a railroad from that place
to Oregon City. This is about the
fourth time that a railroad through
this territory has been commenced and
no rails have been laid yet.
F. M. Swift has been promoting the
scheme for several years and has the
right of way purchased. He has been
very reticient about the name of his
hackers, but promises that the road
will be built. The farmers who back
ed Swift have become doubtful of his
intentions to build the road, and well
coined the new promoters with open
arms 1t is rumored that Talbot is in
the employ Of the Southern Pacific,
who intend to build road to Molalla.

they ran, the japanese disappeared
over the mountain ridge and reached
the bottom in safety.

BIG BATTLEsHlP LAUNCHED.
Monster Fighting Machine Will Carry
Crew Of 900 Men.

New York, May 14.-The battleship
Florida, biggest of the American
Dreadnoughts' built thus far, was sue
cessfully launched at the Brooklyn
navy-yard yesterday in the presence OF
the president of the United Statesp
the secretary of the navy, the naval
attaches of all the powers and a crowd
of 80, 900 enthusiasts, whom intermit-
tent rains failed to keep away.
The 21,825-ton fighting leviathan,
built to carry 10 12-inch guns, glided
down the ways to the strains Of The
Star Spangled Banner, played by the
navy yard and the 10th infantry bands,
while the crowd cheered and hundreds
OF river craft footed their noisy well
come.
The vessel was christened by Miss
Elizabeth Fleming, daughter of ex-
Governor Fleming, of Florida.
Later when the Arkansas and the
Wyoming, now under construction, are
afoat they will exceed the Florida in
size by 5000 tons, difference suffi-
cient to make pretty good little liner
in itself. The Florida herself is by no
means finished, for as she went off the
ways yesterday she was only about so
per cent advanced towards completion,
which means that she was not much
more than vast empty hull, and still
awaits the boilers and main and sec
ondary engines and armor and equip
ment that go to make up the ship
ready for commission.
Probably there is not battleship
afloat that could tackle the Florida on
even terms, when her commander s
flag flies from the ungraceful, but
formidable skeleton masts which will
be placed upon her, that is, provided
the naval designers do not change their
minds, as to the utility of this novel
feature of marine architecture within
the next eighteen months, by which
time the Florida should be in commits
sion.

Hill Advises Residents to Prepare for
Great Influx of Homeseekers.
Bend "Crook county's population
will be trebled, Bends population will
be more than twice as large and the
entire interior country will become the
home for thousands of new settlers
within the next few months. 1t is my
advice to your residents here to take
immediate steps to prepare for scores
of new people'w who will come here to
Bend. !" These were part of the. en-
couraging words spoken by Louis j.
Hill, as'he stood in an auto addressing
several hundred of Bends residents. y
The railroad president was astounded
at the great growth of the interior
country and towns. On the way from
Prineville to Bend he was escorted by
business men of both places in a dozen
autos. The party stopped at Myrtle
Point to take photos of the growing
crops and sample the soil. The adver-
tising campaign to be given Central
Oregon will be no infantile affair. Mr..
Hill said that from the Atlantic to the
Pacific people who heretofore have
known little or nothing of this Won
derful, productive country are to learn
of it Immediately. He was rendered a
big reception here, and urged prompt
action to care for the horde of new
settlers.

500 SEALS ARE SET FREE.
Only Government Can Take Them
From Water Hereafter.

Washington, May 14.-Five hundred
three-year-old male seals are to be al
lowed to escape from the killing fields
on the Pribyloff Islands to supply the
required number of breeding adults in
the future. They are to be marked in
such manner as to make them readily
recognizable throughout the season and
under no circumstances are they to be
slain. They are to be the best samples
of the seal herds.
This direction, given to W. 1. Lamb
key, agent in charge of the Alaskan
seal fisheries, was announced today by
Secretary Nagel. Stringent measures
for the protection of seal life are con-
tanned in the instructions to the agent
The privilege of taking the seals,
heretofore leased to a private COM
pany, now rests with the government,
which is to sell the skins to the high
est bidder.

north.
