Months Record of
Local Mail Handled

A strenuous month in the post
office closed May 81, the postmaster
and his assistant having been requir-
ed to count all the pieces of incom-
ing and outgoing mail handled in
the postoffice during the month. in
compliance with an order issued by
the postmaster general. The totals
were surprising to the postmaster
himself, who is now convinced that
he has been working harder than he
thought he had. More than twice
as many packages of incoming than
of outgoing mail were handled and
the number Of pieces of first-class
mail exceeded the number Of pieces
of all other classes combined. There
were 2O, ,899 pieces Of incoming mail
handled during the month, of which
g, 1873 pieces were first-class and
IL, ,116 pieces second, third and fourth
classes. The outgoing mail tolalled
8, 1870 pieces, of which 1928 pieces
were first class and 1907 pieces in
other classes. The average number
Of pieces handled per day during the
month, excluding Sundays, was 1915.

Our Best Foreign
Market For Apples

Charels Wilmeroth, of Wenatchee.
who recently returned from a trip to
Europe, declares that London is the
poorest market across the waters
for the apples of the Northwest.
What was onceconsidered the center
for the products is no longer avail
able. So far as the United Kingdom
is concerned, Liverpool and Glas-
gov are much the better. The de-
mand is good there according to
Mr.. Wilmeroth. He says the best
market for the Northwest apples is
Hamburg, Germany. 1t is great
fruit buying center, an. the buyers
from all parts of Holland, Germany,
Denmark and Eastern Russia gather
there to pick up supplies for the
markets. MIR. Wilmeroth was great
ly impressed with the possibilities
of the market and hopes it will de-
velop in the future.
There is one warning which he
sounds, which has been drawback
to American trade for many years,
and that is in regard to the packing.
The American has been unwilling
to pack the way foreign buyers de-
mand and this seems to be true with
the apple trade. They demand a
more substantial package than is
used here. he says. The size is also
an important feature. Smaller sizes
are also desired, the demand being
for packages ranging from 120 to $50
to the box.

In State
Of Washington

The United States Geological
Survey has just published, as Bulle-
tin 457, the results Of spirit leveling
in the State of Washing ton, 1896 to
1910, inclusive, compiled under the
direction of R. B. Marshall, chief
geographer, in cooperation with the
State. The report gives the exact
elevations above mean sea level of
about 100 points in different parts
of Washington, which have been de-
termined by the Geological Survey
in connection with its topographic
surveying. The advantage of the
publication to engineers and sur
veyors is obvious. for each locality
whose elevation has thus been
accurately determined affords a
starting point for a survey of any
kind which may be contemplated.
The Surveys topographic maps of
the quadrangles already surveyed in
the State show a large number of
elevations, but they are approx
mate, being stated only to the near
est foot, whereas the bulletin gives
the elevations to the third decimal
place. For example the following
statement is found in the bulletin
under "Mount Stuart Quadrangle" !"

Bulletin 457 is one of series of
similar reports which will cover the
result of spirit leveling by the
Geological Survey in all parts, Of
the country. The bulletin can be

Decreasing Demand For lumber

The star tling suggestion that the
demand for lumber is decreasing
faster than the supply. is contained
in the current issue of the West
Coast Lumberman. The journal
says editorially:
''ln recent letter received from
an Eastern lumberman, the state
ment is made that he had been doing
some travelling and that he was sur
prised at the amount of materials
which were taking the place of lum-
ber. He says that lumber manu-
facturers and others, instead of
fearing the extinction of forests,
woul be wiser to watch the ex-
tinction of the lumber demand. Of
course this is rather a radical view
of the situation, nevertheless it has
some good thought in it. It seems
a fair criticism on the majority of
lumbermen to say that they do not
fully realize the competition they
are meeting from other building
materials. And another fact in this
line is found that is often overlooked
and that is, where materials are used
to take the places once used by
forest products the latter are exiled
forever, because the materials which
supplant lumber are practically
everlasting.
"The traveller in Europe is sur
prised to see so little lumber con-
sumed. After a visit to that
country. he will be unable to recall
having seen any lumben being de-
livered in any Of the large cities.
Nevertheless the total consumption
in Europe is considerable, though
but little in proportion to the popu-
lation when compared to the amount
consumed in the United States. In
the great city of Cologne. Germany,
with over half a million population,
there are no wood houses; the build-
ings are mostly several hundred
years old; they are all Of brick,
stone or cement, and even wooden
stairways are forbidden, excepting in
a two-story residence occupied by one
family. For many years there has
not been fire sufficiently extensive
to burn down house in that city,
most Of the fires being confined to
one room. A man may remain in
the city of London for days and not
see a single load Of lumber in the
streets, though he may occasionally
meet a small amount evidently in
tended for repairs"

Prof. KinCaid Makes
Another Great Discovery

According to the Post lntelllgen'
Ger experiments just finished atte1 = 2
years duration have convinced fro1'
Trevor Kincaid, of the zoology de-
partment in the University OF WASH
ington and director of the Marine
Biological Station here, that he has
discovered a parasite which attacks
and kills the Douglas fir beetle, anl
insect estimated by governmen!
authorities to do present annual
damage of $1O0, 100000 and 20 con-
stitute peril greater than fire. n.
he Importance of Prof. Kincald s
discovery lies in the fact that now
the parasite can be propagated and
transported to any forest where the
beetle is found at work. Since the
parasites, in their attack on the
beetle colony, devour all the larvae,
any increase in the number of tree
killers is impossible. The attack is
deadly effective.
Until Prof. Kincaid's discovery,
experts such as A. D. Hopkins, who
is at the head of forest insect in
vestigation for the government, and
who is regarded as the authority on
the subject. had almost concluded
that there was no means of combat
ing the beetle. The statement that
large denuded areas, commonly ac-
counted for by forest fires of long
ago, were primarily caused by the
beetle. was only one of several ex-
ceedingly pessimistic opinions given
out concerning the forest destroyer.
In the last fifty years. Hopkins
says this beetle has damaged forests
on the Pacific slop 70 the extend of
81, 900, 100000.
This is the second important dis
covery made by Prof. Kincaid, and
which of the two is the more impor-
tant is a question. Two years age
he made a trip to Russia, and there
found a parasite which destroyed
the gypsy mo h, an insect that was
killing the fruit trees of the country.
A year before he had discovered a
similar insect in Japan, but this dis
coyery was found to be too partic-
ular as to climatic and other con-
ditions be of value to the whole
country. The Russian parasite was
not at all particular.
These two discoveries, says the P.
l., have gained for Prof. Kincaid an
enviable reputation among govern
ment experts. He is a young man
yet, with dark hair and eyes, and
a dryly humorous disposition seldom
found amid millimeters. bacteria
and fossils. His hobbies, which are
pretty persistently ridden, are bugs
and evolution and work. He w,rks
in his laboratory twelve or sixteen
hours day and enjoys himself i'm
mensely.

Fruitgrower Buys Cows

T. D. VanSant spent an hour in
town Monday morning coming from
Seattle on the Rosalie and leaving
on the cambridge for his home at
Olga. In an interview with the
editor Mr.. Van SAINT said his princi-
pal errand in Seattle was to purchase
cows, but that he only secured one.
Knowing that he has only small
place the editor was bit surprised
that he wished to get as many cows
as he said he wanted and asked the
reason. His answer was. ito enrich
the land. If can get even on the
cash outlay for comnnercial feed |
will be satisfied to care for the cows
for the good / anticipate they will do
the land. Ibelieve itis the cheapest
way for me to increase soil fertility.

stock and that is what am trying
to set on the start.

valauhle to others, no rAatter what
the profit or loss to him may be. It
will be a little exp5kiment station

POWER OF THE LABEL.

For a union man to pay 81
month in dues to his union and
to spend at the same time $50
month to support his enemies by
buying goods that lack the union
label is equivalent to spending
81 for medicine and $50 for the
promotion Of disease-S1 to build
up unionism and $50 to tear it
down.
The amount of commerce that
can be controlled by the mem
bers of organized labor directing
their purchasing power toward
the consumption of union label
goods is sufficient to control the
commerce of the country, be-
cause it can easily represent the
difference between success and
failure with nearly every mer-
chant. That it has not had this
effect is simply because organ
lied labor has not used its tinan-
cial strength. The fault is the
union mans, and his is the OPP
portunity TO apply the remedy by
doing his duty.
