THE cAMIcIA CASE.

In reference tO the Cnmicia estate Commissioner Shepard stated today, in reply io an in- quiry that the account in yes tcrday's Miner of what has thus "2r transpir"d, is liable lo give an erroneous impression touch- ing Dr. DallOn's "carly activity" ihis, owing probably Io incom- plrlcnrSS of the rOmmiS SiOnrr'S x statement al illr hearing on last Thursday.
 Dr. Dalton. on calling at thr commits SSiOnrrS S residence half d day after Dr. Camicia'S death, slated that it. was said thr de- ceased had left in his residence, or his place of business, prrSnn- al effects of value, and possibly money, and inquired whether any steps fO safeguard them at oncc could be taken by proceedings in probate, which was substantially the purpOri: also, of the inquiries that Mr. Giles had made during an earlier call. Mr. Shepard ask cd pr. Dalton whether he was a creditor, and on receiving an af- 1IrmatIVc answer. fold him that a creditor could apply for adminis- tration after the lapse Of 30 days. but that until then no one could be appointed except an heir, even if if were morally certain that there were no heirs resident in Alaska.
 Dr. Dalton then inu1ircd whether there was not such "a thing as temporary administra- ton, 10 which Mr.. Shepard an- swcrcd that there was, in a case of necessity for il, and asked whether pr. Dalton desired lo be appointed special adminislra- tor, and told him that he could make application therefor if he wished, but that he ought to en- Dloy an attorney to prepare and present the application.
 During the previous call of Mr. Giles no reference was made. Mr. Shepard says, to proceedings for a special administration. He al- so says that his remarks at the nearing as to the undesirabilily Of conversations with him rcla- tive Co impending judicial action on his part, bore reference fully as much to tho protests from various people against Dr. Dal- tons petition, as to the calls made upon him by MT. Giles ana pr. Dalton.

CAMEMBERT CHEESE.

Camambert is the name Of COM
mune, a few houses about Canaan
bert church, in the prefecture vi
moutier and the department Of
Orne. The cheese got its name from
the fact that it originated near
there, but there isn't a cheese fac
tory nearer than three miles away
now, and not enough people live in
Camembert to run one Of any size.
Caen, the principal Camembert mar
ket, is in Calvados. The cheese is
carted to the shore and carried
across the mouth Of the Seine to
Havre in boats. 1t is made, how
ever, on the northeastern side Of the
Seine, and from there comes to
Havre direct. The cheese is shipped
unripe, even to home markets near
at hand in French cities. 1t is sell
dom over four weeks old when it

Rice in considerable quantities is
raised in Mexico, but the method
of cultivation is most primitive. No
attempt is made at irrigation. Land
is cleared by telling the timber and
burning over the field. The soil is
not plowed. Planting is done from
June to August. a hole is made in
the soil with a stake, and the seed
dropped in and covered. 1T Is plant
ed in rows about foot apart and at
about the same distance apart in

growing crop beyond an attempt to
keep down the weeds with a ma
