Washington Sees
Menace to Canal

Washington, Sept. 23-The acquisi-
tion by Pearson & Sons, the great
English firm of contractors and pro-
moters, with its significant relations
to the British government itself, of a
gigantic concession for the explora-
tion of Colombia's natural resources,
involving the right to construct docks,
quays, railways and canals, etc, arous-
es intense interest, not to say
keen concern here. The matter in
wolves the acquisition by English con-
cessionaries of tracts of land and
harbor works in the Gulf of Darien,
a stones throw from the Panama Ca
nal, the special interests along the
Atrato river, waterway which forms
ia part of the site of the Colombian
route for an isthmian conal
The details of the concession, which
was procured for Pearson & Son by
Lord Murray, formerly chief whip
Of the Liberal prty, are understood
here to be along the lines of con-
cession proposed some months ago,
and if, indeed, they are the same, the
State Department has good cause 20
worry. The department is expected 70
institute an immediate Investigation.
For several years it has been watched
the situation, and with some of the de-
partment's experts the matter has
been considered one of great diplo-
matte and strategical Importance. If
1t proves, as is asserted, that Lord
Murray has obteined a concession for
the construction of a base on Darien
Gulf, on the Caribbean coast of CO.
lombia, direct conflict with the reso-
luton introduced by Senator Lodge
last year, inspired by the proposed
purchase of large tract on Magda-
lena Bay by a japanese corporation.
and which amounted to an amplifica-
tion of Monroe Doctrine, will at once
be apparent and will require some ac-
tion
The matter would not be so signi-
ficant were it not for the fact that

MARKET REPORTS
LOS ANGELES PRODUCE.

Los Angeles, Sept. 23-The season
for most of the fresh fruits which have
been on the market for some time, is
rapidly drawing to a close and with
in week or two there will be little
coming in to the Los Angeles produce
market but apples, grapes, pineapples
and bananas. Most Of the houses are
already cleaned out of plums Of all
sorts and there are only few nectar
lines left in storage. Peaches are rap
idly cleaning up and the comparatively
high price of &c pound is asked for
all good ones shipped in from the
north. Pears are still in the market
but they are getting scarce and pack
ed boxes of the best Bartletts bring
good figure.
The real season for berries has been
over for some time and none of the
houses have been quoting them on the
shipping lists. There are few crates
sent in daily but these have been snap
ped up for the local trade at high fig
ures.
Centaloupes are getting scarce and
casabas have gone up in their quota
tions. They brought around SITS a
crate yesterday. The Paul Rose va
riety are also scarce and were selling
at SITS, the highest rate they have,
brought for some time The spell If
hot weather dried up so many grapes
of the vines that they are short at
present and most of them advanced
yesterday. Cornichons sold for $1.50
lug, and Tokays reached 81.
There were not changes in eggs,
butter or cheese yesterday. Fresh
ranch eggs were offered at Ale doz-
en- with no bids.
Receipts of produce in Los Angeles
yesterday were: Eggs 233 cases; but
ter 24,956 pounds; cheese, 654 pounds;
potatoes, $500 sacks; onions 800 sacks;
sweets, "a sacks; apples, 21,O1O boxes.

as many different substances were
tried with view Of repelling the flies
from livestock. Although some ma
terials gave a measure of protection
for a time, none had lasting effect.
In addition to the temporary value
of these substances, injury was some
times produced by their application.
Many malodorous mixtures, particui-
arly of an oily nature, have some val
lie, but in preparing these care should
be taken that they are not made too
strong particularly when animals are
being worked in the hot sun. If they
are being made too strong they are
likely to cause overheating of the
animal and produce shedding of the
hair.
A mixture of fish oil Il gallon)
oil of pine tar e ounces,) oil of Pen
nyroyal e ounces,) and kerosene a.
12 pint) was found to be very effec-
tive in keeping the flies off live
stock when applied lightly, but thor
oughly to the portions of animals not
covered with blankets or nets.
Since straw stacks have been found
to be the principal breeding places of
this insect in the grain belt, the prop
er care of the straw is by far the
most important step in control The
straw should be stacked more care
fully than is ordinarily done, by max
ing sides Of the stack nearly VERT
cal and rounding it up well on TOP
in order the better to shed the rain.
All straw not required for winter
feed should be disposed of immedia-
tely by burning or by scattering it
over the land, soon after threshing
and subsequently blowing it under
or by burning the stacks. The plow-
ing under of the starw is the most ad-
visable methods of procedure, as by
this practice large amounts of hui
mus are added to the soil
All stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed of in the early spring. This
may be accomplished in the same wav
as has been suggested for the fall.
Although straw is the principal
breeding place for the stable fly in
the grain belt, thousands of them de-
velop in manure piles The house fl
and horn fly also breed extensively
here, and therefore the greatest care
should be used in dealing with this
animal refuse.
Manure should be hauled out and
scattered at regular intervals and any
accumulations of straw or hay, espec-
tally adjacent to stables, should be
disposed of. Stable manure being usu-
ally in close proximity to human habi-
tations, the flies from it have freer ac-
cess to man to disseminate human dis
eases.

Drop Two to Detroit While Maps Trim Red Sox-Tigers Hit Galla Hard in Opening Contest-Cobb's Homer With Bases Full Wins Second Game For Visitors.

Washington, Sept 17.-Detroit in- augurated it's farewell appearance of the season here today by taking both games of a double header from Wash ington, to 1 and to 2. Bunching of hits in two innings-the fourth in the first game and the first in the sec ond-proved Washington undoing. Outy side of these two innings Detroit fail- ed to score.
 Gallia started on the mound for. the locals in the opener, but was batted hard and was replaced by Love in the fourth inning with one out, after De- troit had got to him for seven hits, one of them being a triple. By bunch ing four of their hits and working the youngster for two bases on balls in the fatal inning the visitors put four runs across the plate. One more was SCOT ed off Love, who went in with the bases full The only run scored against Dubuc was the result of a base on balls and double.
 Detroit jumped on BoehlIng at the start of the second game. Bush and Bauman singled, Crawford was safe on an error, and Cobb brought them all hame with a hit for the circuit. then settled down and there was no more scoring Williams, De- troit recruit southpaW, pitched steadily throughout.
