Studying Effect of Exercise.

A serious attempt to investigate
what may be called the hygiene of
sport is about to be made in Berlin.
To carry out the objects in view a
sport laboratory is to be established
and placed under the charge of the
Charlottenburg municipal authorities.
The idea had its origin In a depart
ment of the hygiene exhibition held
recently at Dresden, in which every
thing that could throw light on the
influence of sports and gymnastic ex-
erclSes on the human organism was
brought together. Special attention
was paid to bodily measurements
arising under different conditions and
from different muscular exercises, and
particular observation was directed to
'Ae good and harmful effects OF the
several sports and gymnastics on the
human body and its members. One
OF the chief objects of the new labora-
'oFy Will be the observation of all that

weeks ago, is the report brought in by
Frank Walton, who has q homestead
on the very top of one of the highest
hills near Liberty park, 1000 feet
above the Spokane valley.
Over so pickers were in the patch
in one day alone, and as the berries
were exceptionally large and abundant
this season, the returns have been cor
respondingly good, one gallon per per-
son being q conservative estimate.
As they are valued at about 81 PEI

Rates On Rev Wool md Cloth
ing Had insufficient.


Warrington, D. c. ~ Holding that
its low rates would bring Disaster to
home industry, President Taft re-
turned to congress with his veto bill
to revise the wool tariff ~ schedule
tx" Of the Payne-Aldrich law. This
10 the second time that the president
has vetoed the bill within year.
With the return Of the bill, Presi-
dent Taft sent an appeal to congress
not to adjourn until measure had
been enacted Substantially reducing
unnecessary protection for the wool
industry Of the country.
The president will follow his veto Of
the wool bill with . similar action on
the steel and cotton bills, and it also
is expected that he will veto the ex-
else tax measure on grounds Of heliev-
ing it unconstitutional.
81 stand by my pledges to maintain
degree of protection to Offset the
difference in cost Of production here
and abroad, and will heartily approve
any bill reducing duties TO this level,
wrote Mr.. Taft.
While the present bill and the one
dissapproved last year were indentical
in terms, the presidents reason differ,
| cd. He vet.SSsda ttine former because 1t
| had been framed before the tariff
boards report-th latter because he
said It bad been framed with dis
regard for the boards findings.
Most of the rates in the submitted
BILL, wrote the president, "are so
low in themselves that If enacted into
law the inevitable result would be
irretrievable injury to wool-growing
industry - the enforced idleness Of
much Of our wool-combing and spin
ming machinery and Of thousands Of
looms and the consequent throwing out
Of employment Of thousands Of work.
men,"
| The bill sent to the White house
imposed an ad valorem duty Of 20 per
cent on raw wool, and on clothes Of 40
per cent. Both rates, Mr.. Taft held,
were insufficient to protect the WOOL
grower and the manufacturer.

TRAINS or PEACHES.
Irrigation District VIII Produce 1900
Carloads This Year.

Toppenish That the Yakima valley
will produce 1900 carloads Of peaches
and that the season will extend to
September 20, when the last of the
Elbertas will be shipped from the
northwest part Of the fruit producing
district. is the statement Of H. a.
Gilbert, president Of Richey & Gilbert
company, the largest fruit shippers ia
the Yakima valley. Reports have
been received BY the company from
every district in Washington, which
show that the original estimate made
BY some associations that there would
be 300 carloads are past the mark.
The harvest Of peaches has started.
There has been steady movement of
Carmens and these have been immedi-
ately absorbed in the northwestern
fruit markets. Slappeys have fol-
lowed, and reports show that while
they are of good quality the harvest is
extremely light. This comes through
the fact that the orchardists have
thinned too heavily.
The Elbertas will start to move
about August Is from Zillah, Parker,
| Wapato and other lower valley sec
tions, and will continue for a month.
Experienced fruit growers thinned
heavily this year. and have reduced
the actual number Of boxes, while in
creasing the value and grade.
Richey & Gilbert company had or
ders for IL carloads of fruit, includ-
ing over five carloads Of peaches,
more than they found it possible to
supply.
q. M. Gilbert, in discussing the sit
uation, said: 1--WE have reports from
Lewiston, Wenatchee, Kennewick and
other peach sections Of the Northwest,
which show that the peach crop il
much later than anticipated. Fruit
growers, ought to secure good prices,
and will unless they are led to believe
that the original reports are true.
The Yakima valley peaches, especially
the Elbertas and late Crawfords, will
not reach the markets until the fruit
from other sections has all been alb.
sorbed and sold. There will be !
great demand, especially for canning
purposes, and feel sure that every
carload will be disposed of at a price
that will net the growers over AZ
cents box. The only thing is the
ffruitgrowers ought to give themselves
q square deal and secure reasonable
prices, considering the fact that thu
crops are not as heavy as they antici
| pated.
