SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

Butter-Quotations are unchanged
locally on both creamery and country
butter. Local receipts are gradually
shrinking, though holding up much bet
ter this summer than in previous sea-
sons. Considerable eastern is now
offering at unchanged prices. At Chi
cage heavy storage supply is re-
ported, while continued heavy current
production has weakened the market
somewhat.
Eggs-Local production is steadily
falling off, and quotations have ad-
vanced, with wider range to values
under poor quality and market uncer-
tainty. A considerable supply of local
storage eggs is being held in reserve.
Eastern fresh eggs are now Offering
in this market. At New York receipts
are light and market firm. At Chicago
market is steady to firm under active
demand.
Poultry-Prices are unchanged. There
is fair movement of chickens, with
ducks, geese and turkeys nominal and
unchanged.
Fresh Meats-While there have been
no material changes in livestock, the
strength of the market is indicated by
advances this week in beef, pork and
veal. All markets are firm, under gen.
eral shortage of supplies.
Lard and Cured Meats-There has
been no change in lard, but eastern
hams are u cent higher. No change
yet in local cured meats. The market
is very strong.

Tact That Made Erlends,

There is on record tale of a pinch
OF SNUFF that turned enemies into
friends. A well-known tobacco and
SNUFF manufacturers son entered one
OF the crack English cavalry regi-
ments, to the great disgust of the
aristocratic gentlemen and officers"
thereof. 1t was privately decided to
make the intruder feel that he was not
wanted In that exclusive unit of the
service, and neat plan was formed
with that object. AS soon as the des-
sert was over and the wine was on
the rounds. on the first night he ap-
peared at mess his brother officers
simultaneously took out their pocket
handkerchiefs, and then ensued what
was more like sneezing competition
than anything else. The one for whose
benefit this little hint was intended
looked around a moment in mild as
constituent before taking in the i'm
port of the display. Then he rose,
dlgnified and calm, and with the polit-
est air in the world. Gentlemen" he
said, taking out a silver-mounted snuff
box. "allow me to offer you a pinch
OF my fathers very best snuff" From
that moment all antagonism was at an
end

MARE Of Cavaillon in the Caucluse in
August, 1864. by the author Of Les
Trois Mousquetaires," who was then
living at st. Gratien, near Enghein.
He says: "On receipt of your letter /

send you the two or three hundred
volumes which have already appeared
OF my works, and that In the future
as they appear he will send you the

Photographic the Sea Bottom.

In France experiments have been
made that promise considerable sue.
cess In submarine photography. A
specially constructed camera was car.
ried down by a diver to a depth of
twenty-five or twenty-three feet, and,
with an exposure of half an hour.
negatives were obtained which were
fairly satisfactory.
1t was found that the best results
were obtained by placing blue glass
IN front Of the lens. It is intended to
have improved lenses specially con-
structed for underwater work In
France.
Flashlight photographs Of the sea
bottom during storm have been OBJ
tanned. This light was furnished by
an alcohol lamp fed by a reservoir OF
oxygen. Magnesium powder was pro.
jected into the flame through a tube
from the shore. 1t is thought that
such flashlight photographs may be
made at any depth to which a diver
may descend.-Harper's Weekly.

AMERICA NAMED BY GERMAN
wartln Waldseemuller Published First
Map With That Title Given
the New World.

In the interesting town OF st. Die
IN French Lorraine, there was recent
~ held celebration Of special inter
est to the people Of this side OF the
world. and in lesser degree to Spain
ana Italy. 1t was In honor of the four
nundredth anniversary OF the publica
lon there OF the geographical work OF
Martin Waldseemuller, In which Amer
lea was suggested as the name OF the
New World.
There have been many theories and
much controversy as TO the origin OF
the name America. and not few have
resented the slight which was put
upon Columbus in this connection
Some have denounced Amerigo Yes
pucci-who. like Columbus, WAS an
Italian sailing under the nag OF Spain
for stealing" the glory due the real
discoverer.
But the chief wrong. II any was
done, was committed by the German
geographer In tho book which was
published in 1907. and on the map
which he published a year or so later
On that map the name America was
applied. however. only to the southern
part Of the New World. The northern
part was called Parias.
1t 10 possible. perhaps probable, that
Vespucci. not Columbus. first reached
the mainland Of America: and 1t was
Vespucci who grasped the important
fact that q new continent had been
found, and not simply . part Of Asia.
OF that fact Columbus died In ignor-
Rnoe.
But rightly or wrongly. the name
Of Amerigo Vespucci, trader, traveller
and writer. was given to the New
World. and given to remain forever.
And now . lofty tower rises among
the hills Of Lorraine to commemorate
the suggestion which resulted In the
designation.

charred debris.
earthquakes continue almost daily
at many places along the coast. Six
shocks were felt August 16 and many
damaged houses collapsed.
In several villages visited by the ex-
petition, some of the houses which ap-
parently were unchanged were found
to consist Of empty shells, the whole
OF the interior having collapsed.
At Myriophite the appearance of the
town was deceptive because a number
OF houses standing on the sea front.
surrounded by gardens, were intact,
but Immediately to the rear scarcely a
stick or stone was left upright
Numerous assures were observed in
the ground, but none of great size, al
though the villagers reported that
cleft nearly 200 feet deep had opened
in hillside eight miles inland.
The people throughout the district
appeared stunned by the catastrophe
and made no attempt to help them
selves, sitting and brooding over their
misfortunes and awaiting the arrival
of relief.
The Red Cross society and the
Greek philanthropic societies are do
ing good work in the district, the Red
Cross having dispatched missions to
the interior to assist the sufferers.
The Turkish transport Bezzam-y-
Alem has been converted into a hos
pital ship and anchored off the coast.
The American medical mission, after
treating 800 patients and finding that
its work was overlapping that of other
missions, handed over it's supplies and
medical stores to the vail of Adrian
ople, who is experimenting the work
on the scene. The American Red Cross
society continues to dispatch supplies

AFTER LONG YEARS
AS AN INVALID
Mrs. Katherine White Com
mits Suicide in Despon-
dent Mood.

Mrs. Katherine White, sixty-six years
old, who has been an invalid for the
past twenty-six years, took her own
life this morning at about o'clock at
her residence. 1920 p street. The means
used was asphyxiation.
Mrs. White has known for many
years that she could never regain her
health and had become respondent.
Several times within the past year she
had said that she did not intend to
endure her sufferings much longer. and
few months ago attempted to kill
herself by taking gas. She was inter-
cepted. however by her daughter.
This morning as the daughter was
preparing to eat breakfast, she smelled
the odor of gas and rushed at once to
her mothers room. Finding that 1t was
full of gas she at once called her
brother, who rushed into the room
threw open the windows and found his
mother lying lifeless on the bed.
Coroner hewitt was called and this
afternoon gave a certificate Of suicide.
The funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later
