ALARM BOXES
NOT NEEDED

As an evidence that the $1,000
in the budget of Commissioner
Mills for fire alarm boxes was put
there not because they are need
ed hut because the Gamewell fire
alarm trust wants to get another
grab at Tacoma's cash box, the
report of Chief McAlevy for Sep
TENDER shows that of all the
alarms turned into the depart
ment only six came through the
alarm system, the rest all coming
from telephones. There were as

TN addition to using the natural
means of reproduction of plants
by seeds. bulbs. etc. man has de-
veloped several artificial ways. of
which the principal are cuttings, layer
ing. grating and budding
A cutting is detached portion OF a
plant inserted in soil or in water for
the purpose Of producing II new plant.
This method of propagation is consider
ed most important. Tie most common
form of hardwood cuttings consists of
a straight portion of shoot or cane
nearly uniform in size throughout and
containing two or more buds. AT the
lower end it is usually cut off just be-
low a bud. because roots develop most
readily from the joints. At the top 1t
is usually cut of some distance above
the highest bud. A heel cutting con-
sists of the lower portion Of a branch,
containing two or more buds. cut off
in such Il manner as to carry with it
q small portion of that branch forming
the so called "heel." A mallet cutting
is produced by severing the parent
branch above and below shoot. so as
to leave section of 1t on the base of
the cutting. The principal advantage

Is that only one cutting can be made

When It Is desired to make the lar

Annual SqunbbIc Between Farmer ana
Hunter.

The usual squabble between hunters
and ranchers is on. The hunters as
sert the ranchers are unreasonable in
their demands and the ranchers say
the hunters are careless about the way
they conduct themselves when in the
rural districts. The law itself, if rig
idly interpreted. is plainly on the side
of the rancher in matters of trespass-
ing and unless permitted by the own
err no hunter has any right to hunt in
another mans field. However, there
are few ranchers who are so unreason-
able as to refuse request Of this sort,
provided it is within reason. A little
consideration for the other fellow will
help adjust the trouble and misunder-
standing that is so prevalent at this
season of the year.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events of Interest from the sent

by j. T.. JONES.
AVnuut We Bankers.


Representative Lafferty of Oregon
has introduced currency measure
which takes the short cut, dsposing
of the bankers and providing for loans
to be made by the United State govern
ment direct to the farmers, at per
cent. interest. The Oregon represen-
tative declares that the government
would make a profit which could be
converted into a large highway fund,
and he further adds that the security
provided by such a system would be
far better than thai of the administra-
ton bill.
Independence by Pieccmcal.
1t has been made clear by the ad-
ministration that independence for the
Philippines is not to be accorded in
hurry and Governor General Harrison
upon his arrival at Manila gave out
document in behalf of President Will
son to the effect that the people of the
islands should be content to be grant
ed additional liberties by easy STAGES.
The president proposes to give the
F1lipinos the majority control in both
houses of the legislature, but when it
comes to absolute independence as pro-
vided by the Democratic measure
known as the Jones bill, it is clear
that the administration, while seeking
to comply with the Baltimore plat
form, will proceed cautiously.
India Rubber Imports into the United
states.
India rubber imports into the United
States in the fiscal year 1918 were the
largest in the history of the import
trade. They amounted, in crude rub
Der, to 113 million pounds, against 40
million in the former high record year,
1912, this being the third time in
which the imports in this article ex-
ceeded 100 million pounds in fiscal
year. These figures apparently sus-
tain the frequently published assertion
that the United States consumes half
the rubber of the world, since the
worlds production of India rubber
was, in 1912, 100 thousand tons, or
224 million pounds, while our own i'm
ports in the year ended June 80, 1913,
were 113,3S4,359 pounds.
Where Are the Cabinet Days:
Some of the sleuths of the pen who

numbers have finally discovered that
there has been no meeting of the pres

just dawned upon these knights of the
pen that President Wilson stated some
time ago that there would be a suspen-
sion of that function, as he preferred
to consult with his advisers individual
ly. So far as is known absolute har-

lily, but in taking up the tariff and
