FACTORIES CLOSE ON
 ACCOUNT OF STRIKE
The Number of Men in Other Trades Out
 Increases

| London, March 4-Scores of factories are closing down all over the United
 Kingdom as 2 result of the coal strike.
 Those responsible for the trouble are
 marking time for the present, although 1t is expected negotiations will soon be ! brought to new crisis. Besides those
 out it is estimated there are upwards of
 100000 workers in other industries idle ready to strike. The number is increasing
 hourly of the idle.
 l Crews of coal carrying vessels lying in
 the eoaling ports are being discharged as
 the ships are unable to get cargoes. Rail- road employees are suffering in similar way because of the curtailment of train service. One short line in Yorkshire has discontinued service entirely.
 In isolated instances the striking miners
 have refused permission to men to enter
 the mines in order to feed the ponies which have been left below, or to keep the workings clear. Generally speaking the utmost good feeling prevails between the
 men and the owners.
 New York, March 1.-The strike in the
 British coal fields has caused heavy pur-
 chases here of practically all Of the avail
 able supplies of soft coal in the coal ports in and near New York and s.i Philadelphia and Baltimore in order to meet the needs of the foreign steamship companies using the Atlantic seaboard. Coal market prices here for immediate and prompt deliveries have risen sharply in consequence. It is planned to load steamships with
 a double quantity of coal here so that
 round trip voyages from this side may
 be completed with American coal. The
 space on shipboard taken up by this
 double cargo of coal necessarily lim- it's to the extent of space formerly
 used by other merchandise.

The block was sent to Mr.. Stiel-

strange coincidence was command ed
by Captain lincoln, and who sailed
for the United States on August T..

much later that It was possible to
learn that the Uhla encountered very
stormy weather and went ashore near
Bermuda, where ship and cargo were
sold at auction, and the precious stone

THE LURE OF THE SOIL

Assuming that the subject of this
sketch Is as well and favorably known
in the various localities in which he
has lived as has marked his residence
in North Yakima, one would naturally
conclude that Granville Lowther's life
must be blest with innumerable graft
flying recollections both OF friends
and circumstances. He has migrated
about as far from the place of his
birth as was possible. having Seen
born In Doddridge county, West Vir-
gnia, of English parentage, on the
18th day OF January, 1S4s.
This distance was not covered in
one move, for at the age of II he re-
moved with his parents to Edgar
county, Illinois. then with a family OF
his own to Kansas In 1885, where they
resided till 1905. when the much
talked of irrigation in the great
northwest induced them to make a
third and most likely last move. to
the Yakima valley, where, surrounded
by an ideal life and climate, he is con-
tent to remain.
Like mankind in general, he had no
choice In the place of his birth or
childhood days. and says "When l
was struggling for an education / felt
that it would have been good to have
been born in Boston, called then more
than now, The Hub of the educa-

FRU|TEvAPORAT|ON
BY COLD AIR SYSTEM
G. E. Norton and Associates Are
Experimenting on That
Method for Yakima Valley

Cold air for evaporation of fruits
Is now under test by G. r.. Norton and
associates, who propose to erect an
evaporating plant, or perhaps several
in Yakima county this and succeed
ing years. Electricity is used In the
process of manufacture of the cold
air, and such tests as Mr.. Norton has
already made have led him to the con-
yictiOn that the system Is as good as
any other. The one drawback is that
the principle Is n new one and there
will be some difficulty in procuring the
mechanism necessary for the work In
tended. In other words, such ma
chinery as he will require is not now
made and will need to be specially
constructed.

Early Planting

1t is an easy thing for boys and girls
to have gardens and raise beautiful
flowers. Even though you have no
patch of ground where you can plant
things, you will be surprised If you
try it to find how pretty a miniature
garden can be made in a sunny win
dow.
In any case, 1t is time now to begin
operations. If you have ground space
for flowers plant pansy seed in win
dow box. The seed will come up in
due time; then so soon as the ground
gets warm the tiny plants must be
set out in beds in. the open ground.
Get packet of mixed pansy seed.
Have a shallow wooden box two or
three inches deep. Fill 1t nearly full
of light rich earth--street sweepings
are as good as anything. Have holes
in the bottom of the box for drain
age. Scatter the seed evenly over
the soil and sprinkle earth lightly up
on 1t for covering. Then water with
spray from rose watering pot. Keep
moist and not too warm in q sunny
place.
Pansy seed is rather slow, but in
from six weeks to two months the
young plans will be ready to set out
about two inches apart in a bed
Soon the plants will begin to bios
som, and you will have a fine bed or
wonderful pansies all summer till late
In autumn.
Mignonette may be planted in the
same manner and may be left per-
maneptly in the window box. 1t comes
up quickly and soon fills the house
with the delicate fragrance of Its
blossoms.
A favorite either for potting or for
the garden bed is the carnation, with
its sweet, penetrating odor and eX-
quisite flowers. 1t, too, takes a long
time to grow, so that 1t should BIZ
sprouted in boxes as early in the sea-
son as possible.

A PRAYER

To grow a little wiser day by day,
To school my mind and body to obey
To keep my inner life both clean and
strong,
To free my lips from guile, my hands
from wrong.
To shut the door on hate and scorn
and pride.
To open up to love the windows wide,
To meet with cheerful heart what
comes to me,
To turn life's discord into harmony,
To share some tired workers heavy
load,
To point some straying comrade to the
road,
To know that what | have Is not my
own,
To feel that am never quite alone
This would l pray
From day to day,
For then I know
My life shall flow
In peace until
1t be God will
/ go. A. Detmer.

PULLMAN STATE COLLEGE,
March S0.-Prof A. L. Melander. en-
tomolgist at the state agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Pullman. has pre-
pared the following statement and
for combating this
insect in the orchards Of this state.
The woolly Aphis IL one Of the most
serious of orchard pests. 1t occurs
both on the roots and on the branches
Of apple trees. The form above
ground can be easily killed by spray
ing. A spray Of tobacco. such as the
black leaf dip, one part to sixty five
parts water, or kerosene emulsion
or even combination spray contain
ing these two mixed, will easily kill
the aphis on the branches. To make
sure of thorough work, the spray
should be applied with Bordeaux noz-
xles and driven with considerable
pressure. 1t is necessary to wet
the wool Of the insects. If
the spraying can be thorough, the or
binary sulphurs lime spray will de-
stroy the aphis above ground.
For the root form there is no sat
isfactory treatment. Placing ground
tobacco around the, uncovered root,
or wetting the ground with the to-
bacco spray, sulphur lime, or kero-
sene emulsion will kill off small pro-
portion Of the root aphis, but il never
likely to give complete satisfaction.
The root aphis does not penetrate
deeper than 10 inches below ground.
In giving a root treatment it is best
to uncover as much of the roots as
possible before applying the insect
eide. Banding the trees with tree
applied over a band of
cotton will keep the root form from
up the trunk to locate on
the branches. In that way the
branches can be kept free from the
woody aphis.
When the woolly aphis attacks q
tree is poisoned, swellings occur even
during the first year Of attack and
the growth of the tree, as we'll as
Of the fruit, Is materially stuntsd. The
root form causes gall like dwellings.
the root action and in the
course Of few years causing decay
IF the roots. After few years the
Tree Is SO undermined and weakened
that 1t is practically killed.
The woolly aphis is one Of those
nsidious pests which should not be
permitted to gain a foothold in the
orchard.

RUSSIANS Dislike
LOAN TO CHINA
Withdraw From Powers' Comb
nation, Fearing Menace Of
New Republic

ST. PETERSBURG. March 3d.
The Foreign Office has informed the
syndicate of foreign fnanciers In
China that Russia will not participate
In the six powers Chinese loan. as
It considers the conditions unsatisfac-
tory.
Since the announcement March II,
Of Russia's willingness to participate
with the other FIVE powers, events
have developed rapidly
The original advance in China was
intended to be between $1,000, 900
and s1,500, 900. but the competition of
the Anglo Belgian group of bankers
for a loan to China forced the pace
and the "six powers" syndicate elab-
grated a scheme to lend the new re-
public s3OO,O00.0O0 of which there
should be an immediate payment of
$250.0O0,O00.
OF the loan 80 per cent was intend
ed for national Improvements and 20
per cent for armGments.
The absence of suitable guarantees
and the large amount to be assigned
to the purchase of ornaments, which
would be a menace to Russia, caused
Russia to look askance upon the loan
scheme. 1t was thought here that
Japan might back out. like Russia,
but it is understood now that Japan
ese diplomacy is disinclined to follow
Russia's example, which would shut
her out of the eventual control of
Chinese finances and the apportion-
ing of concessions.
Misgivings are felt in certain quar-
tiers here over Russias step, as it Is
considered 1t might pit her against
the five other powers interested in the
loan and complicate the situation in
Mongolia.
Russia's refusal to participate In
the loan emphasizes the fact that the
empire has important Interests In
Manchrr1a which were not safe
guarded sufficiently by the schsme OF
the loan syndicate.
