SECRETARY WILSON RGESA
PLANT QUARANTINE MEASURE

In his sixteenth annual report, the
secretary OF agriculture deals at large
with the fruit fy situation in these
islands and the steps that have been
taken on the coast to prevent the pos
sible importation OF the pest there.
He also takes up he matter OF plant
quarantine. He says in part on these
subjects:
The appearance in destructive
numbers OF the so-called Mediterran-
can fruit fly in the Hawaiian Islands
attracted much attention, especially
from the state of California, since 1t
was feared that the introduction Of
this pest from Hawaii into the port
Of San Francisco would result in Sc
rious damage TO the fruit crops OF the
Pacific coast. Funds would not per-
nit of active operations on the part
of the department against this pest
prior 10 the close of the fiscal year,
but preliminary studies were made in
anticipation of an. appropriation by
congress, which was granted toward
the close. of the session in August.
der this appropriation will be report
ed next year, but it should be stated
at this time that experts have been
sent to Hawaii and that all aspects
of the threatened danger which
seemed to afford a profitable field for
investigation are now being carefully
studied by competent men, while,
with the cooperation of the territor-
ial government and of the state of
California, actual exterminative work
in the region of Honolulu is. being
carried On as far as possible.

YALE PROFESSOR PREDICTS
future MARRIAGES 'PED|GREED'

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec Il
when American life is guided by a
standard of health rather than stand
ard of wealth, as we see it today, we
shall have 'pedigreed marriages., mar
.riages, which, ! believe, will solve
many Of the perplexing questions of
our so-called modern civilization"
This interesting prediction was
made here today by Professor Irving
Fisher of Yale University, in discus
sing the future of a department of ma
tional health, which measure Is now
before Congress for action.
! As president of the committee of
100 on national health, composed of
the most noted men of the country,
which has for it's chief object the es-
adjustment of this department, Pro
lessor Fisher has made an exhaustive
study of the subject.
Pride in Pedigree to Come,
He Says
When public opinion shall have
been sufficiently developed on this
point" he said, I'VE shall take as
great pride and as deep an inter-
est in our own pedigrees and the
pedigrees of those who our sons and
daughters marry as we do today in
the blue ribbon history of our dogs
and horses

long migratory flights to tropical
climates where they may find the nee

The farmer seems to feel that the
annual supply Of grass and weed

TIE Thousands of pairs of little bright
eyes which in the fall and winter are
seeking so industriously for the weed
seed out in the dreary brown fields,
his labors would surely be greatly in
cIeased. One of the government col
lcctors shot dove in Kentucky which
was found to contain more than MIN.
thousand weed seeds. The dove prob
ably filled its crop at least three
times that day. These twenty-seven
thousand seeds, if left to sprout the
following spring. would in themselves
have produced more weeds than the
average farm hard with a hoe could
cat down in a day.

United States has been the only great
power without a law to protect il
from insect pests and plant diseases
from other countries with which it
has commercial relations. Down to
the close of the past fiscal year. al
though legislation was pending in
congress. no action had been taken,
and with view 10 securing as per
feet inspection as possible in the
countries of origin OF nursery stock
especially, which was bound. TO be i'm
ported in large quantities the coming
autumn into this country from por
tons of Europe, the chief of the bu-
reau was sent abroad to confer with
the nurserymen and the inspection Of
ficials' Of those countries.
Toward the close of the session of
congress within the presen, fiscal
year, an inspection and quarantine
bill was passed by congress and a
federal horticultural board was es-
tablished, composed of members of
the bureau of entomology, of the bu-
reau of plant industry, and of the for
est service, Regulations have been
drawn up by this board covering the
importation of products likely to car
ry injurious insects and disease, and
certain quarantines against certain
classes of products have been an
nounced. This is a great step in adj
vance. and it is hoped and expected
that the. operations of the act will
serve as marked protection against
the introduction of injurious species
into this country in the future. When
we consider that more than one-half
of the pests of this kind of first-class
Importance existing in this country
have teen in past years introduced in
this way and unwittingly established
in our midst, with the resultant dam
age of millions of dollars worth of
property, the country can at last con-
graduate itself upon the fact that 1t
is in position to prevent very great
prospective waste.

CANNOT ENDURE THE PIANO
Chinese Servant Gives Notice When
Employers Daughter Gets Old
Enough to Practice.

The fascination Of an untrammeled
life in New York had lured other Chi
nese servants away from western fam
lilies who had migrated with their ret
inue to New York. but John Of tho
bankers family had remained faithful
through two years Of metropolitan
temptations.
At last he gave notice and refused
to tell why. Finally the manager OF
an employment agency offered a solu-
ton Of Johns detection.
ut is because your little girl has
got big enough to practice On the
piano." he said. John can't stand
that.
"A Chinaman hates piano. It
takes a good deal to upset Chinese
nerves, but a piano is capable Of COM
pleting the job most effectually. Here
tofore there has been but little piano
playing in your house; now that there
is a prospect of several hours Of prac-
tice every day John clears out.
1--WE have that trouble with many
Chinese servants. There are plenty
of western families in New York who
would like Chinese help, but as soon
as an otherwise willing servant learns
that there Is a piano in the house he
declines the job"

FOR DlSINFECTl0N OF BOOKS
Apparatus Devised by a Frenchman
Removes Danger Of Conta9Ion and
Doesn't Damage Paper.

The danger from contagion from
books that have been in the hands of
persons suffering from various dis
eases has led to the invention of va
rious methods of dis1nfection, of
which none appears to be more effec-
tive than an apparatus devised by
Marsoulan of Paris.
His process embraces two parts.
In the first place, the books are
placed in a "beater" where a strong
current of air opens every leaf and
an aspirator sucks out the dust and
deposits it In aseptic water; then
they are suspended in a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips so that the leaves are widely
opened and placed over heater
which for time subjects them to a
temperature of 167 degrees Fahren-
heit. The paper is not damaged, and
the efficiency Of the process is said
to have been demonstrated beyond
question. Weekly.

Engineers Estimates Call for 1000
Cubic Yards and Total Cost of
About $4,000.
BOND ELECTION ON JULY %
Ordinance To Be Passed Next Mon
day Night and to Be Signed and
Published the 18th.

Stating that his road would be will
ling to furnish one-third of the gray
Ell necessary for the paving Of the
Nymore road, w. H. Gemmel yester-
day advised the council and the Com
mercial club to take the matter up
with the Great Northern, 500 and M.
and l. officials. Action in the matter
was taken by the council at spec
ial meeting last night and President
Johnson and Mayor Ma1zahn were in
structed to sign a letter with the
Commercial club. It was also learn
ed at the same time that unoficially
the Great Northern had stated that
it would furnish it's share of the gray
ell.
According to the estimates of the
city engineer, it will take about g.
900 cubic yards of gravel for the
pavement of the road. If the rail-
roads furnish this gravel, and it ap-
pears at this time that they will, it
will mean saving to the city of at
least $1.b0 per yard or 3,800 on the
cost of the paving. The engineers
estimate for the Improvement calls
for an expediture of $4,000 which
would thus be cut to about $1,000.
The money for the paving is to be
taken from the sinking fund which
at this time has surplus which is
only drawing IL per cent interest.
The bonds are dated for twenty years
so that the money can gradually be
put back into the sinking fund, but
the cost of the road will be distrtbut-
ed over twenty years.
1t developed at the council meeting
last night that the new Great North
ern depot is to be placed at the foot
OF Minnesota avenue and that it will
not be necessary for the city to
stra1ghten the street and lay new
crossings and approaches. The city
will have to fill in a small Y back
OF the depot so that there will be a
proper approach to the building.
The new plans for the depot have not
yet been drawn so that contractors
have not been asked to bid.
The ordinance calling for an cleo
ton on the bond issue for the road
was read the second time and the
date for the special election definitely
set for July %. The ordinance will
go to the mayor on July Is, and will
be signed by him and printed on July
10. The election will then take place
the following Tuesday.
Graders have started work on Fifth
street preparing the bottom for the
paving which is to be laid. The ex-
ira dirt which is being hauled out is
being dumped in the alley on Beltra-
mi between First and Second streets
